yoLKs BrsT OF LIscoLs.-We have received
through Geo. Ward Nichols, No. 756 Broadway, a li'e-
size bust of Abraham Lincoln by Mr.. Volk It's, we
presume good likeness, it s certainly weil-exe-
cuted work Of art Mr. Volk has also reduced Ms bust
to cabinet size, in which he preserves with great
fidelity all the characteristics of the larger one. Both
are for sale at Nicholas.
The gallery of Mr. Nichols, though as yet small, as
it is recently opened is worth visit by the lovers oil
good paintings. Some Of the best pictures which wSe
exhibited at the recent Academy Exhibition but which

seen at disadvantage, may be judged of here accord

Of Mays, Of Hollands, of Gays, and others. Mr.

this gallery two three charming pictures by lnnessi
one of Kensetis best works. painted ten years ago;
some very fine drawings by Van Beest Browns Sun
set at Florence, and study of rocks by the same

very promising beginning for this new depot OF art
