The poor girl seems not only dying, but Flora Mac Ivor (169) may be true as a portrait, almost in a state of incipient decomposition. The but it does not present the character of Flora. other, smaller, and with fewer figures-only those Critically speaking, there is not a finer painting in of the gentle victim and her anxiously grieving the exhibition than his portrait of the Rev.

(345) the eye-telling too truly and fatally of the worm is also in Phillips's best style. within; and then the venerable father, with the Bible on his knee, yet with his anxious eye fixed upon his dying daughter-and the fond despairing mother, attending the lovely sufferer with all a mother's love and care-the tout ensemble constituting a scene of the most touching tenderness and grief. We could hardly tear ourselves from this heart-rending yet lovely picture.

In his portrait of the Hon. Mount Stuart Elphinstone, (164) Pickersgill has proudly shewn what the hand of a master can effect with a difficult subject. The composition of this artist's paintings invariably evince great skill, a profound knowledge of his art, and the most vigorous power in embodying his conceptions. Lord Lyndhurst (218) is a noble effort. We have already mentioned (page 246) his portrait of Miss Pardoe (301) as the finest picture of its class that he ever painted. His portrait of John Masterman, Esq. (402) for the City Club House, is distinguished by its simplicity, firmness, sobriety of tone, and general force of effect. Of his T. Bucknall Estcourt, Esq. M.P. (420) painted for Corpus Christi College, we can only repeat what we have said of Phillips's portrait of the Rev. Dr. Shepherd-" there is not a finer painting in the exhibition."

One of the sweetest portraits on the walls is that of Lady Mordaunt, (5) by Mrs. W. Carpenter. It is slight, and simple, yet graceful, beautifully clear, and well defined.

We are far less pleased than we expected to be with Sir David Wilkie's large picture of Sir David Baird discovering the body of Tippoo Saib at the capture of Seringapatam (65). The tall figure and awkward attitude of Sir D. Baird offend the eye; and the entire composition and grouping of the subject are unworthy of the celebrity of the artist.

Hart's large picture of the Execution of Lady Jane Grey (389) is far from satisfactory; and his smaller one of Edward and Eleanor (187) is badly composed, ill-painted, and offensive in subject. There is some pathos in the expression of Lady Jane's face, but the pathos is over-wrought and artificial. The figures of the women are too tall. The composition of this piece is deficient in pictorial harmony and effect, and the colouring in mellowness. The lower group (which might have been spared altogether) impairs, and almost destroys the effect of the upper one.

Mulready has only two little cabinet pictures this year: the Sonnet, (129) and " Open your mouth and shut your eyes" (143). The former is a little sun-lighted gem of the first water. Would that Mulready could afford to paint and exhibit more than he does.

Uwins is, as he always is, delightful. First, we have a pair of sweet cabinet pictures, a Wedding of Contadini, and a newly-made Nun taking leave of her Family (83 and 84); then, fresh and rosy as the morning, Young Neapolitans returning from the Festa of St. Antonia (119); Gathering Oranges (166); Neapolitans dancing the Tarrentella (180); Amalfi, kingdom of Naples (395); Le Chapeau de Brigand (469); and, the most brilliant gem of all, the Bay of Naples, Peasants going to the Villa Reale on the morning of the Festa of Pie di Grotta (210). Were we purchasers, the two last-named paintings we should especially covet. "A child left in the artist's study was found on his return robbing the lay figure of certain portions of Italian costume, and decorating herself with the spoils." This is the foundation of Le Chapeau de Brigand. The little innocent half-unconscious plunderer is a most lovely girl of about eight or ten years old. With the brigand's hat upon her head, a peacock's feather, a rosary, and various other finery, she is looking forth from a window. The effect is at once ludicrous, beautiful, and fascinating.-The Bay of Naples, a long picture, scarcely too large for the frieze of a mantel-piece, is a chef d'œuvre of quite another description. To the left is seen Vesuvius

Turner, in his very peculiar and peculiarly objectionable style, is more than usually successful. His yellows are turning to reds: what they may turn to next, Heaven and Mr. Turner only know! His most striking picture is the Fighting Temeraire, tugged to her last berth to be broken up (43.) The splendour of the sunset on the Thames, to the right, is overpowering; while, to the left, the moon is seen in calm and cold majesty. His other subjects are:-Ancient and Modern Rome (60 and 70); Cicero at his Villa (463); and Pluto carrying off Proserpine (360) As a landscape, and allowing for the artist's peculiarities of colour, &c., the last-mentioned of these is an attractive picture. It is remarkable that Etty's chef d'œuvre this year is from the same subject--Pluto carrying off Proserpine (241.) This is a performance of most splendid and powerful genius. The chariot of gold and bronze-the steeds of fire and might-the mus cular vigour of the gloomy god himself-the beauty and voluptuousness of the women-of the water. nymph in particular--are magnificent to an extent that is not conceivable without ocular demon--in the centre, the Bay-and in the foreground, stration. Into the " nudity question," as it has been termed, we of course do not enter.

Another coincidence in choice of subject presents itself in the Broken Heart, (20) by Knight, and the Pride of the Village, (58) by a young artist of the name of Horsley. "A tear trembled in her soft blue eye. Was she thinking of her faithless lover? or were her thoughts wandering to that distant churchyard into whose bosom she might soon

the procession of peasants. All nature, animate and inanimate, is beautiful beneath the warm rich glow of sunlight in which the scene is enwrapped. "Glorious and gorgeous Italy," the spectator is ready to exclaim, "who would not wish to dwell for ever beneath thy bright, thy joy-inspiring skies !"

The vulgarity of the audience, seen to the left of the picture, in Landseer's Van Amburg and his Animals, (351) is quite worthy of the vulgarity of the

subject. Indeed, the whole affair, if upon a larger scale, would have formed a capital show-boardlike the paintings they have at Bartholomew Fairwhen that great supporter of the "legitimate drama," Manager Bunn, degraded Drury Lane Theatre into a den of wild beasts. It grieves us to the very soul to see Landseer, the prince of animal painters, mixed up with such a concern. The towering majesty, the quiet repose of the lion, to the right, are not unworthy of the artist; neither is the head of the lioness, with an eye blazing like a topaze, to the left; but the figure of Van Am'burgh is deplorable; and the entire painting betrays glaring marks of wearisomeness and want of finish. From this display it is palpably evident that there is a world of difference between painting "by royal command" and painting con amore. Contrast the artist's Tethered Rams, (145) and his Corsican, Russian, and Fallow Deer, (222) where he was unfettered, and free to follow unvulgarised nature, with the picture of which we have been speaking, and judge whether we are not borne out in our opinion.

Landseer's Princess Mary of Cambridge and a Newfoundland Dog, (69) and his portrait of Miss Eliza Peel with Fido, (235) are clever pictures, but they will not enhance his reputation.

Amongst an aggregate of 1390 subjects, there are scores of others that we should be glad to mention, would time and space allow; but our rapid sketch must hasten to its close.

Second Adventure of Gil Blas (124). Even this, however, is marked by the artist's mannerism; besides which, the character of Gil Blas is not justly conceived.

Treading in the footsteps of his father, the younger Pickersgill has a very clever picture, entitled, Preparing for Hawking-a lady mounting her palfrey, attended by her follower and page (554). It is well conceived, well composed, and well painted. The artist has been particularly successful in the sunburnt countenance of the falconer.

Close to this picture is a tiny landscape of Hofland's-Hampton, Middlesex (555). Bright and clear, even to transparency, it is a most sweet little thing.

Ellerby, Jackson's most successful pupil, has only one painting this year-a Portrait of Charles Robinson, Esq. (334). Having met the original, we can pronounce it a most faithful resemblance: it is also an admirably painted picture. We wish this artist could be induced to give us another Infant Jupiter.

Amongst the drawings and miniatures are several of great merit by Mrs. Arundale; particularly the Portrait of Mr. Owen Jones (603), an oriental subject. There is more of breadth and power in this drawing than in many oil paintings of ten times its

extent.

Mr. Arundale, one of our distinguished oriental travellers, has several very interesting drawingsthe Excavation and Discovery of the Casing Stones of the Great Pyramid, at Gizeh (801); View of the Convent of St. Catherine, Mount Sinai (841); View of the Ducal Palace, Venice (1225), &c.

In the Sculpture apartment, Gibson, of Rome, has some charming productions; so also has Westmacott, Baily, R. J. Wyatt, Behnes, &c.

BRITISH INSTITUTION.

The British Gallery closed its successful exhibition on Saturday, the 11th of May. The number of purchasers this year has been large-the number of visitors greater than usual-and the result alto

It not unfrequently happens, that the worst pictures in an exhibition obtain the most notice. Thus, whilst many admirable productions are passed regardlessly by, the grand stare of the mob at the Royal Academy this season is Maclise's acre of coloured canvas-a tea-tray upon a gigantic scale -Robin Hood (293). This is intended to represent Robin Hood and his merry men entertaining Richard Coeur de Lion in Sherwood forest. The outlines of this production are as hard and as sharp as though they had been cut out of sheet iron. There is no mellowness, no softness, no roundess of contour. The perspective is bad, and the trees are as much caricatures as the figures. The colour-gether satisfactory. ing is crude, hard, and violent, with a sort of splash-and-dash scattering of lights, which the vulgar mistake for brilliancy. The display of plate, armour, and other frippery, in the foreground, assists this effect. To say nothing more of the sentiment of the picture, look at the meretricious leer of Maid Marian at the king. And where did the artist get his flesh tints?-and where his eyes? Did he ever find any such in nature? There is nothing sound, nothing solid, nothing true-there is not an atom of truth or nature in the entire picture. And yet, as we have said, it is the grand gaze of the mob!

Another production, by the same artist, is a scene from Midas-Sileno introducing Apollo, disguised as a shepherd, to his wife and daughters (6). With most of the faults of his Robin Hood, this has considerable merit of design; but the head of Apollo is poor and mean; and the whole is deficient in elevation and refinement of thought. And, if the air of Maid Marian, in Robin, be meretricious, what are the person and looks of one of the girls in this picture? Talk of " the nudity question," indeed! The colouring is all crude, cold, and chalky.

Excepting his meritorious portrait of an old lady (322), Maclise's least objectionable picture is the

SOCIETY OF PAINTERS IN WATER-COLOURS.

We are glad to find that this institution has also been eminently successful in its sale of pictures.

Mr. Weigall, to whose versatility of talent we incidentally adverted last month, is remarkably happy in his subjects of domestic poultry, &c., of which he has produced several. We especially notice his Harm Watch, Harm Catch (9) a fox caught in a trap, while on the anxious look-out for the king of the roost, who, from an elevated position regards him with the utmost contempt.

J. Skinner Prout-a nephew, if we mistake not, of the Prout, whose works have long established the fame of their author-distinguishes himself very effectively in this exhibition. In several of his productions, he is treading closely in the steps of his relation; for instance, his St. Werburgh's Shrine (now the Bishop's throne) Chester Cathedral (96); Tintagel Castle, Cornwall (125); the North Porch, Redcliffe Church, Bristol (314) &c.

Mrs. Harrison has numerous paintings of flowers of great merit.

Duncan has some fine coast, and beach, and sea scenes; one of the most striking of which we particularise as Mackarel Fishing; Fishermen laying

their nets off the Gull Stream Light; Sunset. Perhaps the sunset tint may be somewhat too fiery; but the life, motion, and freshness of the water, and the buoyancy of the vessel, are pourtrayed with excellent effect. Another very clever picture by this artist is a Ship taken aback in a Squall (269). With several of Alfred H. Taylor's efforts we have been much gratified. His Shrimp Boy (115) is very true to nature. So are the Ballad (164) the English Peasant Boy (203) and the Gipsy (286). With his Wanderer (54) the Saw Sharper (56) and the First Lesson, Boy and Puppy (288) we are also much pleased.

Oliver's Cul de Sac, at Cologne, Prussia (21) and others, are entitled to warm praise.

Miss L. Corbaux's name frequently occurs in the catalogue, and always with interest. Miss F. Corbaux, too, has a very cleverly-managed picture, Elijah restoring the Widow's Son (293).

Amongst other meritorious productions by G. O. Howse, we mention as particularly entitled to notice, his Church of St. Etienne des Tonneliers, | Rouen (192).

There are many other names we could wish to mention; and, in truth, we might lounge about the gallery for another hour or two without having sated, or even satisfied our appetite-without being enabled to say half that we could desire to say. We close, therefore, with a strong recommendation to visit the Pall Mall exhibition.

LITERARY, SCIENTIFIC, & MISCELLANEOUS MEMORABILIA.

ROYAL SOCIETY OF LITERATURE.

ON the 25th of April, the anniversary meeting of this Society was held, the Earl of Ripon in the chair. It appeared from the report of the auditors, that the receipts of the past year amounted to 8097., and the expenditure to 8057.; that the series of works to be called Biographia Britannica Literaria, are in progress; and that an introductory address on Anglo-Saxon Literature and Learning, will shortly be published. For these publications a separate fund has been raised. Mr. Tooke was elected treasurer, and Sir John Doratt, librarian, in the room of Mr. Jacobs and the Rev. H. Clissold, resigned.-A special meeting of the Society was held on the 22nd, preceding, for the purpose of receiving the distinguished secretaries of the Archæological Institute at Rome, the Chevalier Bunson and Dr. Lipsius, now on a visit to this country; on which occasion the Chevalier read a learned essay on the Authors and the Age of the Great Pyramid; and on Tuesday the 30th, another on the Antiquities of Rome recently dis

covered.

THE COPYRIGHT BILL.

On the 1st of May, Mr. Sergeant Talfourd's Copyright Bill passed partially through a committee of the House of Commons, after one of the most obstinate and vexatious struggles to defeat it ever witnessed in parliament. No fewer than twenty-four divisions took place, in which a clique of seven, eight, or nine members, led by Mr. Warburton, tried to throw out the measure. The political excitement of the times has since prevented the resumption of the committee on the Bill.

LITERARY FUND.

On the 8th of May, the fiftieth anniversary of the Literary Fund Society was held at the Freemasons' Tavern, his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambrige in the chair. Among the guests were the Bishop of Landaff, the Mexican Minister, the Earl of Ripon, Lord Ellenborough, the Right Hon. Henry Ellis, Sir C. Lemon, M.P., Sir William Chatterton, Captain Wood, M.P., Mr. Milnes,

M.P., Mr. Knight, M.P., Mr. Hope, M.P., Sir David Wilkie, Major Sabine, Captain Beaufort, Mr. Hallam, &c. The subscription on the occasion exceeded 6007.; and among the benefactors announced, were Her Majesty, 100 guineas; the Duke of Cambridge, 251.; the Duke of Rutland, 201.; the Earl of Ripon, 217.; Lord Ellenborough, 217., annual donation; Lord F. Egerton, 107., annual donation; the Bishop of Durham, 10 guineas; the Earl of Eldon, 107.; the Marquis of Normanby, 107.; Mr. Wentworth Beaumont, 20 guineas, annual donation; Mr. B. B. Cabbel, 107.; the Right Hon. H. Ellis, 107.; Messrs. Longman & Co., a third donation of 507.; Mr. Hallam, 107.; Mr. Macready, 5 guineas; Mr. B. Webster, 5 guineas; Mr. Hill, the American actor, 5l., &c.

[blocks in formation]

The Chancellor of the Exchequer has purchased. for the National Gallery a painting of Velasquez. It was exhibited last year at the British Institution; and represents the arena of a bull-fight. It was bought from Lord Cowley; and 4,000l. is, we understand, the sum that has been paid for it. The picture is of the highest class, and worthy the collection to which it is to be added. There is said to riations, however, in the collection of Lord Ashbe a duplicate of the subject-with some slight va

ARTISTS BENEVOLENT fund.

The Annual Dinner of the Artists' Benevolent Fund took place at the Freemasons' Tavern on the 11th of May. His R. H. the Duke of Cambridge

presided. The company was very limited; there was not a single nobleman among the guests to support his Royal Highness; and only two members of the Royal Academy-Mr. Cooper and Mr. E. Landseer—were present. His Royal Highness expressed the warmest interest in the welfare of the institution. The eloquence of the evening was engrossed by Mr. Sergeant Talfourd. Her Majesty sent her annual donation of 100 guineas; and the collection, taking into account the paucity of the numbers assembled, was liberal. The Benevolent Fund has two worthy objects:-one is pure charity; the other is the inducements it holds out to artists in the time of their success to provide against a period of difficulty or sickness-to which they are, of all men, especially liable. It teaches prudence-the most useful and necessary of all lessons to men of genius. No member of the profession ought to be absent from its list of subscribers-they have a sin to answer for if they are; for, though they may be thoughtless for themselves, they cannot be so in reference to their families without being guilty of a moral offence.

ASSAM TEA.

At a recent meeting of the Medico Botanical Society, Dr. Sigmond communicated the latest particulars that had been received from Assam relative to the tea-plant. Mr. M'Clelland, the geologist to the exhibition, had made some important geological discoveries, amongst which was that of coal, which had been found on the course of the Burhampooter, the river which divides Assam into two parts, and which will now permit of the tea being transmitted with facility by steam-vessels to Calcutta. The mulberry-tree also grows there plentifully, and a very fine fabric of silk is produced. In all the countries east of the river, tea is drunk by the rich instead of water, and by the poor at their feasts, being cultivated expressly in gardens and plantations. It was strongly insisted that the old nurseries should be kept in reserve, and that they should not be rooted up until the new nurseries had been carried to some extent; as in case of failure, the difficulties that would arise from obtaining a fresh supply from China would be very great. The tea-plant has been introduced by the East India Company from China, at a very great expense, and planted upon the Himalaya mountains, where it may, perhaps, not turn out well, and therefore the cultivators should abstain from all officious interference with the plantations of nature. The last accounts give a very favourable report of the tea districts.

QUEEN ELIZABETH'S STATUE.

Queen" was discovered in the cellar of a house A short time ago, a statue of the "Virgin adjoining St. Dunstan's church. It was immediately released from its ignominious concealment, have originally occupied. It is now placed in the and has just been restored to the position it must the eastern side of the church; underneath is a avenue of the church. The pedestal is fixed over block of black stone, on which is engraved the following inscription :-" This statue of Queen Elizabeth formerly stood on the west side of Ludgate; and was presented by the City to Sir Francis Gosling, knight, Alderman of the Ward, who caused it to be placed here."

IMPROVEMENT IN STEAM-SHIPS.

On Wednesday, the 1st of May, the first trial was made of the Archimedes steamer, propelled by the patent screw fixed in the dead wood of the vessel immediately in front of the rudder, but entirely under the water, thus doing away at once with those unsightly and very inconvenient excrescences of paddle-wheels, boxes, and their cumbrous apparatus. The Archimedes went ten miles per hour through the water, and thirteen miles an hour with the tide, but againt the wind, and steered with the greatest exactness. She started again on the following Saturday afternoon. and went to Gravesend in one hour and forty minutes. Improvements are in progress by which the speed will, it is expected, be considerably increased. This new system of steam navigation, should it sustain the test of experience, will be particularly advantageous for vessels of war, where the whole apparatus can be applied without in the least diminishing the effect of their battery or their sailing properties, as it does not require the vessel to be built expressly for the purpose.

THE WHEEL RIFLE.

Mr. Wilkinson, of Pall Mall, has invented, and obtained a patent for, a new gun. Its novelty consists of a wheel, containing seven complete charges, revolving on a centre, which, when discharged, can be replaced in an instant by other wheels, carried in the belt, so as to keep up a continuous firing. As rapidly as the command, "load, cock, fire," can be uttered, can this rifle be discharged, several hundred times without missing fire, or requiring to be cleaned.

The Preface and Index to Vol. I. of THE ALDINE MAGAZINE will be given with the commencing Part (VII.) of Vol. II., to appear on the 1st of July.

Critical Notices of "Notes on Naples," gentine," and various other works, are unavoidably deferred till next month. May we again entreat of our literary and publishing friends to forward their respective books for review as early in the month as possible. Several delays have occurred, through the inadvertence of works having been sent, for the editor, to the Aldine Chambers instead of to the Printer's, No. 33, Aldersgate Street.

The poem of "Lochleven Castle," by MISS PARDOE, reached us, unfortunately, too late for its appearance in the present Part. It shall not fail to grace the opening portion of our new volume.

We are much obliged by the communication of the stanzas, " Marie Antoinette, in the Prison of the Temple," from our Paris correspondent, MDLLE. ST. AMAND, at Paris. They shall appear next month; and, if practicable, we shall be most happy to meet the wishes of the fair author.

When we, last month, intimated to "E. B. P.," the champion of Dr. Gregory, the author of the Legacy to his Daughters," that we should reply

[ocr errors]

to his communication, it was our full intention to enter into an examination of that little work. On turning to its pages, however, we find it so utterly unworthy, that we decline the labour. Without for a moment impugning the moral goodness of Dr. Gregory's character, which we believe to have been unexceptionable, or the purity and excellence of his intentions, we find abundant cause for adhering to our original opinion, that his " Legacy" is, in its tendency, "an abominably mischievous book." Unless we have been incorrectly informed, the example of his daughters gave proof of this, for they have been described to us as old maids of the most disagreeable character imaginable. We consider Dr. Gregory's book to be full of erroneous and unjust feelings towards human nature-as calculated

to rob the fine natural character of our women of
its noble frankness, its honest, ingenuous, and
confiding truth-and to substitute, for these price-
less virtues, suspicion, cold-hearted duplicity, and
rank hypocrisy. Woman, formed upon Dr. Gre-
gory's principle, must be without sentiment, feel-
ing, or passion-a quiet, passive, fawning, and de-
ceitful animal. We are disposed to think, that if
"E. B. P." will take the trouble of referring to
Dr. Gregory's book, and will then exercise his own
judgment, instead of pinning his faith upon the
sleeve of Aikin or of Beattie, there will not be much
difference between his opinion and ours on the
subject.
Mr. Hills will find a reply to his note at page
