ENGRAVING.—We have received from Messrs. Eyre and Spottis- wood° a

copy of "an absolute facsimile" of the last sketch made from the late Mr. Gladstone's features, by Mr. Ernest Prater. The sketch has necessarily the painful look always associated with death-masks or pictures of a dead man's face, but it will doubtless be an object of deep interest to many of Mr. Gladstone's admirers.
