PORTRAIT OF LORD GOUGH.

An admirable and life-like portrait of this illustrious
veteran, painted by Mr. Edwin Long, is now on private
view at the establishment cf the Messrs. lit nry Squire
and Company, 23, Cuckapur-street, prior to the publica-
tion, in a few days, of an engraved copy already in pre-
paration. The original picture having been produced
.for Lord Gough's daughter, the Hon. Mrs. Supple, that
circumstance alone would be a sufficient guarantee that
the likeness is authentic. Those, however, who are ac-
quinted with the venerable and soldier-like bearing of
toe conqueror of Sobraon and Goojerat, will require no
such corroborative testimony, the portraiture being sin-
gularly felicitous. Its speedy repetition in the form of
an engraving will be welcomed by many thousand=, not
only from the personal • popularity acquired by Lord
Gough since his return to England, but also from the
fact of its being a vivid representation of one of the most
distinguished captains of the•age. The work, as a work
of art, will not fail to enhance Mr. Long's rising reputa-
tion.

FROM A CORRESFONDENT..—We understand that
an admirable full—length portrait of Viscount Palmer-
ston, of the size of life, has just been completed by John
Partridge, Esq , R.A., Painter Extraordinary to her
Msjesty, 21, Brook-street, Grosvenor-Equare. The
Noble Lord is represented with that suavity of expres-
sion and dignity, as well as firmness of countenance
and demeanour, which his friends and the public
would naturally expect, and the features form
a fine index of his exalted character, both
moral and intellectual. The breadth and soli-
dity of composition in this work, and the
chasteness of colouring, ri fleet the greatest
credit upon the artist, whose pencil felicitously pour-
trays this well-known statesman. His Lordship wears
the order of the Grand Cross uf the Bath, his left hand
resting on a dispatch. This excellent picture is to be
presented in a few days to Lady Palmerston by more
than one hundred noblemen and gentlemen, Members of
the House of Commons. as a testimonial of their admi-
ration of Lord Palmerston's public and private worth.
The Noble Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs may
justly be proud of this spontaneous tribute on the part
of so many independent Members of the House which
his eloquence and abilities illustrate and adorn. An
engraving of the portrait is in preparation.

bation of the design and workmanship.
