RHODIUS IN MELBOURNE. _ Mr. Rhodius, the artist, has favoured us with a sight of a few faces, as "familiar in our mouths as household words," about which there could be no possible mistake. We have now before us a lithograph of Mr. Geo. Robt. Nichols, M.L.C., drawn to the life, as we well remember the honorable gentleman ten years ago, when editing the Sydney Australian newspaper. Another excellent likeness of character better known in Melbourne - "Liardet," - is admirable : the drawing perfect. Mr. Rhodius' forte is in French crayons, but he is equally happy with his pencil; and as his terms are moderate, we hope he will receive a fare share of public support, to which his talent eminently entitles him. - Melbourne Morning Herald.
