SPECIMEN OF THE ART OF LITHO-
GRAPIIY.—Mr. MARTIN has not overrated the Litho-
graphic Art, when he asserts, " that it will be found to
possess all the ordinary merits of copper engraving, with
the decided and very important advantages of being exe-
cuted in one-third of the time." From the specimens with
which Mr. MARTIN has favoured us, we are convinced that
it will fully answer his most sanguine expectations : it
brings out its subjects with surprising distinctness ; so that
even the minutest touches may he plainly distinguished.
Its expeditious process too is considerably in its favour, and
deserves encouragement.

AE SIR WIT L
ADMIRAL IAIII DOMETT,G.C.B-
___(Froui a Correspondent.—This
excellent man, and most
distinguished officer, suddenly departed this life at Hawk-
church, Dorset, on Monday last, the 19th instant. Nearly
the whole of his valuable life had been spent in the service
of his country, and in most of the victories achieved Under
the respective commands of Lords HowE, Barnroxr, and
NELsoN ,who were his personal friends, he bore a conspi-
cuous part ; and for the gallantry, skill, and judgment with
which he conducted himself, as Captain of the fleet, and on
every occasion upon which he was employed, there was no
officer in his Majesty's navy, of whom the profession enter-
tained a higher opinion. He was, for several years, one of
the Lords of the Admiralty, a post of distinction which he
was compelled to resign on account of the state of Isis
health. It may be said of Admiral DOMETT, without the
slightest departure front truth, that in him the profession
has lost one of the ablest seamen, society one of its brightest
ornaments, and religion one of its most unostentatious and
consistent friends. His loss to the parish in which he was
born, and resided for the latter part of his life, is irrepa-
rable. His property was large ; and no inconsiderable
portion of it was appropriated to the support of public
charity and the relief of private distress ; and his whole
anxiety was to do good, and actjustly towards his fellow
creatures.
