THE FINE ARTS. - We have been favoured with the proofs of four of a series of lithographic sketches intended to be published by R V. Hood, designed and drawn on stone by W. Duke, illustrative of the South Sea whale fishery. The first of these views reptesents the exciting "chase;" the others, the "rounding," the "flurry," and the "cutting in." The choice of subject being so intimately connected with Van Diemen's Land enterprise, will command a steady sale, and afford fresh encouragement to the persevering artist.
