Mr. BEVERLEY SUTTOR.—This prince of Australian poets has at last been immortalised by Mr. Barlow, of Bridge-street, in the window of whose shop may be seen a lithographic likeness of the face of our hero nicely fastened to the carcass of a Jackass which is covered with a Lion's hide. The drawing is called " A view near Beverley Park," and underneath are the impressive words legibly written—" THE ASS THAT THOUGHT HIMSELF A LION." The numerous and devout admirers of the author of the beautiful verses on " Colonel Wall," &c. say, that the publication of this caricature is a sheer piece of spite on the part of Mr. Barlow, who is envious of Mr. Suttor's first-rate abilities; however, be that as it may, Mr. Barlow is selling a great many of the drawings at sixpence each, and is likely to sell many more. Mr. Suttor is certainly obtaining a very fair and proper share of public notoriety now. [Sydney Gazette, 15 January 1839, page 2, column 6.].
