MR.. BROWNIES PAINTINGS.

The Paintings of Mr.. Browne, who is now in this
City, will compare favoraby with those of any artist
in the country. Indeed, do not know that MIR.
Suy HIMSELF the great master of the art on this Con-
tinent, has produced finer or faithful ikenesses
than Mr.. Browne.
We spoke some time since of the portraits to be
seen in Mr.. Brownies exhibiting room, which were
taken in Mexico, including Gen. Taylor, COL Bliss,
Mai. Mansfield, and others. The likeness of Gen.
Taylor is said to be exceedingly faithful.
Mr. Browne has added to his collection the portrait
of DR.. Josiah o. Watson, of Johnston County, and
that of James B. Shepard, Esq. of this City, which
taken the solicitation of DR.. Watson. Both
of these are admirable likenesses. Mr.. Browne is
also engaged upon portrait of Gov. Reid. This will
be finished the latter part of this month, when the
Governor returns to the City. The rough sketch,
which Mr.. Browne kindly showed US, gives promise
of an excellent likeness. We have heretofore men,
toned the ikenesses, in Mr.. BIS room, of Gen. Saun
ders, Gov. Graham, Gov. Manly, Mr.. Peace, and
others of citizens. The portraits of the Governors,
we learn, are being taken at the request of James
Johnston, Esq. of Chowan, who designs to preserve
them in his family memorials of the States history.
MIR. Browne is richly deserving of all the success
which crowns his labors.

The Boston Post contains an extended account of
the Union Meeting recently held in that City, Fam
eun Hall immensely crowded. Able and elo-
quent Speeches delivered, and Resolutions of
general character adopted. The Resolutions pledge
the people of Boston to put down opposition to the
enforcement of the laws and it is stated that " all
laws passed by Congress are binding upon all.
They also take ground against the continued agitation
of the Slavery question but the fugitive-slave law
is not mentioned, in many words, in the Resolu-
| tons
We are glad to see Boston moving at last in this
matter and we hope good may come of it. But
