Old 76 and Young 47 Portrait Draws Warm Praise
A New York Mirror reports the Art Union purchased a new Woodville picture titled Old 76 and Young 47. The scene shows a wounded Mexican War veteran recounting his battles to his grandfather and family, with American adornments and a strong focus on character in the portraits. The piece is hailed as national yet dignified, and the public is urged to subscribe for a chance to win it in the next winter distribution.

Arrival of the Steam-up Pace and Atlantic passage
The Cunard steamship arrives off Halifax after a nine day eleven hour crossing from Liverpool, with heavy westerly weather early in the voyage. Reports from England note the British Ministry's defeat and expected resignation amid Greek tensions, while India and Chinese trade outlooks loom cited as unfavorable. California letters describe diverse immigrant populations in San Francisco and the bold fortune seen in the steamer Senator routes, alongside a remarkable gold specimen valued around five to six thousand dollars.
