have been exhibited at A. TOOTH's Exhibition.] RALPH HEDLEY.

No. 686. _Upper part of Augustus Manns, Esq._ The Artist has, of
course, chosen the better part. "MANNS wants but little here below,"
but he doesn't get anything at all, being cut off, so to speak, in his
prime about the second shirt-button. Exactly like him as he was taken
before the Artist at "Pettie Sessions."

No. 1041. "_Every Dog must have his Dose; or, King Charles's
Martyrdom._" FRED HALL.

SCULPTURE.--The descriptions in the Guide are too painful. We prefer
not, to give any names, but here are specimens:--"Mr. So-and-so, _to
be executed in bronze_"; "The late Thingummy--_bust_!" These will
suffice. Then we have No. 1997. "_All Three going to Bath_" by GEORGE
FRAMPTON; and last, but not by any means least, a very good likeness
of our old friend J.C. HORSLEY, R.A., and while we think of it, we'll
treat him as a cabman and "take his number," which it's 1941, done by
JOHN ADAMS-ACTON, and so, with this piece of sculpture, we conclude
our pick of the Pictures with this display of fireworks; that is, with
_one good bust up! Plaudite et valete!_

Talking "ART" is so "smart" in the first week of May,
That is "ART," which you start with a thundering A.
Simple "art" must depart; that's an obsolete way.
Some think "art" would impart all the work of to-day.
