SUGGESTIONS FOR CARTOONS.
The great fault of the Cartoons is that their subjects are not of
the present day ; and, therefore, it is impossible tiiat the artists can
have trusted to anything but "imagination for their facts," which
need not have been the case had they chosen to illustrate some
events of every-day occurrence.
We beg leave to suggest a few " topics" which would have
possessed interest not only for posterity but for ourselves, as well as
—to use an Irishism—for those who have preceded us.

KING ARTHUR'S COURT!
CARTOON, No. IV.
This Cartoon is in the very highest style of historical art. It may
be called—emphatically called—of the grand school ; and magnifi-
cently embodies the principal persons of King Arthur's Court, treated
of at great length by Merlin, to whom we owe that exquisite stanza—
" When Arthur first in Court began
To wear long-hanging sleeves,
He entertained three serving-men,
And all of them were thieves 1"
Punch—who, though under another name, was contemporary with
.the hero,pronounces the portrait of Arthur to be perfect ; as tor the
likenesses of the " thieves, his serving-men," why, Punch leaves that
point to be settled by millions of beholders.

FINE ARTS.
The Inauguration of the statue of the Duke of Wellington took place in
the front garden of Mr. Jones, at Peckbam, last week. The pedestal on
which it stands is of British clinker, with layers ot Hints, surmounted by
a capital, composed entirely of the necks of wine-bottles, which project
like guns, and have an imposing effect. The bottoms of the bottles are
set in the finest mortar round the base, with their concavities looking out-
wards, and the whole is encircled by a belt of oyster and whelk shells.
A subscription is about to be raised for the purpose of presenting the
Wizard of the North with a testimonial, in gratitude for the great en-
couragement he has shown to al-fresco artists, in getting up the numerous
bold cartoons which adorn the walls of the metropolis. Mr. Dorringtou
is appointed chairman.
