Mr. WILKIN has put forth a portrait of ALLAN CUNNINGHAM,

of the size of life, drawn upon stone by himself, in a bold and decided style, in imitation of his elaborate crayon drawings of heads. As a likeness, the lower part of the face is not so successful as the forehead. ALLAN- has a fine, though peculiar physiognomy, which we think has not been done perfect justice to by the artist. In heads of this size, we expect to see a development of the mental expression as well as a delineation of the physical appearance ; which is not the case in this drawing. The poet looks like a common man-which he is not: the portrait is defi- cient in truth of character. We hope Mr. WILKIN will look to this in his future performances.
