No. 434. Mr. SOMERSCALES has given us the best sea-piece of the year. It shows a "_Corvette shortening sail to pick up a shipwrecked crew_." "A sale in sight appeared!"--and as the picture, so it is said, was immediately sold, so also were those who came too late to make a bid. No. 524. _Gentleman writing._ "A nice quiet corner for a little composition away from all those speaking likenesses." J. W. FORSTER. No. 533. This is a sad-looking little girl, painted by WILLIAM CARTER. She has an unsettled expression. Is she suffering from what the Clown calls "teezy-weezies-in-the-pandenoodles," and, as Sir JOHN MILLAIS'S "_Bubbles_" served P**RS for an advertisement, is it beyond the range of probability that this, being associated with the name of "CARTER," should be intended as a pictorial advertisement for the well-known "L-ttle L-v-r P-lls"? No. 535. Portrait (presumably) of _C. R. Fletcher Lutwidge, Esq._ By ST. GEORGE HARE. Ha! Ha! Ha! By St. George you Ha're bound to laugh directly you look at it. You can't help it. "C. R. F. L." is chuckling to himself and saying, "Ha! Ha! I've just thought of _such_ a funny thing! Ha! Ha! Ha!" And he _is_ enjoying it so! As the song says, "O Mister (I forget the name), what a funny little man you are!" No. 553. This, by Mr. MARKHAM SKIPWORTH, is a portrait of _Dr. E. Ker Gray, LL.D_ of St. George's Chapel, Mayfair. "KER GRAY!" it ought to be "Ker Scarlet." No. 862. _Portrait of a Gentleman_, by PHIL R. MORRIS, A. The Portrait, annoyed at being next to SIDNEY COOPER'S, R A., "_Be it ever so humble, &c._," representing head of a jackass, and some sheepish sheep, is evidently saying to itself, "Hang the Hanging Committee! They show me as next door to a donkey." No. 888. _The Wedding Gifts._ The pretty Bride is a bit frightened at seeing the Groom leading up two bare-back'd steeds. "Oh!" she cries, "I can't ride _them_! Why (_to her husband_) did you give me these?" "My dear," says he, "why not? Here are the bare-backed steeds, and you've already got the Ring." S. E. WALLER. No. 892. "_Your Health!_" A Birthday Party at Mr. ERNEST HART'S. Painted by S. J. SOLOMON. As a subject, the wisdom of SOLOMON is questionable as a specimen of Hacademie Hart--ahem! However, to the toast of "_Your Health_!" as addressed to Mr. ERNEST HART, Master SOL might have added the words, "_Most Ernestly and Hartily_." No. 928. _Exhibition of Miss Biffin_, "who has no legs to speak of." "If you saw my ancles," said _Miss Mowcher_, "I should go home and kill myself." But ARTHUR HACKER, whose capital work it is, calls it "_Circe_."
