We have seen a coloured engraving of Port Jackson, taken from the front of the house at present inhabited by the Archdeacon, on Banker’s hill. The artist is Mr. Rodius, one, as most of our readers know, of no mean talent. The view was taken some time back, and sent to London for the purpose of being engraved by Ackerman, from whom it had just been returned. It is one of the prettiest efforts of gems we have seen in the colony, and needs only, we are assured, being seen to secure a place in the folio of every lover of the fine arts.
