He has row finished a portrait of his younger brother, for a gentlemain at Axminster, an fnapection oF which, we are of opinion, will induce the admirers of his late uncle, John Opie, Esq., R. A., to conclude that the mantle of that admired painter has descended upon the present lad, and that strong touches of incipient Kenius are observable in thili young artist, his surviving relation. His method and style are sirgular, as niay naturally be expected fron an untaught youth of 14.
