ornor Bradley, upon which he has been
engaged for some time past. and this

artist is now on exhibition, together
with other OF his most meritorious pro-
auctions, at his studio, opposite the
Court house. After q personal inspec-
ton OF the Professors best works in

this portrait Of the Governor, Is,
in our estimation. superior in sew
eral particulars to anything we
have yet seen from his brush. Tho

Clark OF tho Depot Hotel, Is now upon
tho easel and promises to be q most
