LITHOGRAPHY.--Mr. Baker has just executed a likeness of the chief Toutai, of Tonga- taboo, who visited this colony about two years ago. Not having seen this " king of the caninbals," we are unable to vouch for the correctness of the por- trait; but, as a work of art, we must say it is credit- able to the artist.[Australasian Cornicle (Sydney), 13 October 1840, page 2]
