THE FINE ARTS.

NRw YORK, Feb. l0.-Captain Coffin,
of the ship Telegraph, arrived here from
Liverpool, has brought out with him the
specimens Of bank notes, presented by
Perkins and Fairman 10 the Bank OF
England. They are beautifully executed,
aud so superior TO any other plan offered
by the London artists and engravcrs,
that there is little doubt but that they
will be adopted by the Commissioners.
Meanwhile, those gentlemen will be well
paid for their genius aud invention. II will
be remembered, that Messrs, Perkins
and Fa.rman went TO London, under
an engagement with MIR. Bagoi, ibs
British Minister, who was much i'm
pressed with the superior style OF their
bank note engraving. II will be haitcr-

despite of British prejudice and British
talent, the works Of those gentlemen
should be adopted. AS we have rivalled
Europe IN iIIe productions of The pencil,

Aston, Leslie, and NewtOH we now
bid fair TO exceed them in the art of
engraving, not only Tor superior execu-
