ALFRED CHALON'S miniature whole-length portrait of Lord Lynd- hurst, admirably

lithographed by LANE, is just so much of a resemblance as to enable us to guess without looking at the inscription whom it is intended to represent. CHALON has taken twenty years and the wig from his Lordship's head, and restored to him his youthful looks and crop of hair. Moreover, he has softened the cunning and sensual physiognomy of the political Mephistopheles, into the intellectual shrewdness of a man of the world. This system of flattery is only ex- cusable in the case of ladies whose charms are on the wane, and who have no moral loveliness to supply the place of physical beauty. Faces that belong to history ought not to be misrepresented.
