PORTRAIT OF MR. STEPHENSON, M.P.

A portrait of the great Engineer, by Mr. John Lucas, which is about to be engraved by Messrs. Graves, Will remain on view at their establish- ment during the ensuing month. Mr. Stephenson is represented standing near the scene of his triumph, the Britannia Bridge, a portion of which is visible in the background. The defect of the painting is a certain dimness and weakness of colour ; but this does not diminish its substantial merit as a portrait, and it will disappear under the engraver's hands.
