of the legatee and her solicitor, a man came forward,
calling himself by the name of the deceased, and

nearer of kin to her than the legatee; and it seenss
that he enforced his claim by producing certilie.stes
of baptisms, deaths, Scc. for., and prevailed on a soli-
citor to take up his case. Notices were served on the
tenants nut to pay rents, and, in aurae casts, he com-
pelled tle.un to pay him by levying sli.tresses. The

RtST OF HER M.4JESTI Q (-TEN CAROLINE,

-.01.-•

Mn. Erni-ow—As every thing relating to the
Queen heroines more and more interesting every
day, I take the liberty of sending you a few obser-
vations upor. the merits of the bust of her Majesty,
which has been executed at Brandenburgh-House,
by a celebrated sculptor cf the !lonian school, and
now exhihiting in the armoury at the. limbic Hall,
Pall-mall, hoping you may find them worthy a place
in your excellent paper. The bust, u a work of
art, nut only as to its being a most powerful
likeness of her Majesty, but also as it regards tasteand
tine execution, reflects the highest credit on the
sculptor. I have seen nothing, as a burst, even from
the hand of the celebrated Canova in any way supe-
rior. The artist has 'hewn much taste in adopting
the Oreciatt costume,• the hair anti drapery are in a
line styles the diadem is well introduced, and the sim-
ple veil thrOwn over the head (which was probably her
Majesty's Jwn choice) is not only very Incoming, but
associates better with, and exhibits to far gnat r ad-
e:gstage the One open countenance of the (Omen, than
all the rich ornaments of dress could puss:46;y do. The
eyes are finely modeled, aid the tender markings of
the th and other features are most delicately touch-
es!, which required the utmost skill of the artist to
es.a cute without injuring the general expression, which
in her Majesty is so very peculiar and sulking ; in
which modesty and affability, generosity awl dignity
are so finely blended, that the most rigid physiogno•
mist might swear it gave the lie to the offensive and
disgusting- charges which bare been so it.famously
brought against her! 'I he artist ha, been very for-
tunate in finding so noble a place in the Gothic Hall to
exhibit this most excellent and most interesting bust
and losseriver accidental it may have been, it is really
most completely in character, for the fine effect pro.
diissed by the steel clad heroes is hich surround the hall,
bring forcibly to the mind the days of chisalry, when
the galiaiit knight sought no higher li.niour than to
avenge the wrongs of an injured female
