FOGS AND DAMP AIR.

BARCLAY'S ASTHMATIC CANDY
has, for many years, been proved an effectual pre-
servative from the ill effects of the Fogs and Damp Air,which
in the winter season are so prevalent in this climate. Its effects
are to expel wind, to preserve the Stomach from the ad-
thission of damps, and to relieve those who suff-r from dif-
ficulty of breathing. Prepared only by Barclay and Sons,
95, Farringdon-street, London, and sold by their appoint-
went by all respectable Stationers, Druggists, and Medi-
cine Venders, in Boxes at 2s. 9d. and is. 1 4d. each, duty
included. Observe, none can be genuine, unless the
times of " Barclay and Sons," are on the
...Stamp affixed
to each Box.

SIR WALTER SCOTT'S PORTRAIT.
BY SIR THOMAS LAWRENCE.

HIS NI AJESTY has been graciously pleased
to grant to MOON, BOYS, and GRAVES, the
loan of the above celebrated Picture, from which a splendid
LINE ENGRAVING, by J. H. ROBINSON, is now
far advanced, and will be speedily finished in a style worthy
of the subject ; an unfinished proof, lately taken, may be
seen at their house, No. 6, Pall-Mall, or at Mr. Moon's,
20, Threadneedle-street, by whom, as well as by all print-
sellers in the United Kingdom, Subscribers' Names are
received. As the Engraving is on Copper, it is necessary
for names to he entered to insure proofs. nice to Sub-
scribers, 11. Is. ; Proofs, 21. 2s. ; India, 3/. 3s. ; Before

of Nov. 16, 1832.
" Yesterday evening the members of the City of London Ar-
tists' Society held their first meeting this season at the London
Coffee-house. The intention of this society is merely to afford
artists and amateurs an opportunity of assembling together for
the purpose of conversation, and of exhibiting their works be-
fore they are brought more unequivocally under public notice.
Many specimens of the talents of the members were last night
observable in the room ; but as any thing like detailed criticism
on such an occasion would be out of place, we will merely an-
nounce that a proof of an engraved portrait of Sir Walter Scott,
from a painting by Lawrence, excited general attention and no
less admiration. The portrait, we understand, was executed
about 13 years since, though it was not generally known that
our great portrait painter had ever had the author of Waverley
for a sitter, and much regret has frequently been expressed at
the supposed omission. In comparing this portrait of Sir Wal-
ter with these with which the public are already 'amiliar, one
is struck with the immense superiority of Lawrence over all his
competitors in the power which he possessed of seizing upon and
conveying to his canvass the most intellectual expression of his
subjects, The admirers of the novelist will be pleased to find
that the look of slyness, nay, almost of low cunning, which his
less skilful limners have attributed to him, and which they won-
dered how such a man could ever possess, was not the real cha-
racter of his head, but that its true expression was that of calm
reflection, but with an eye which would evidently brighten up
at the first merry thought that might occur to his mind. The
engraving, which when finished will be one of the best that has
been produced for a long time, is executed by Mr. Robinson, the
engraver of the Wolf and the Lamb.' "
