HALL'S PICTURES.—We would direct attention, for more reasons than one, to the sale by Messrs. Foster on Monday, 23rd instant, of a collection of cabinet pictures and drawings by British artists of celebrity, formed during a series of past years by Mr. S. Carter Hall, edittr of the Art-Journal; including specimens by D. Roberts, R.A.; T. Creswick, R.A.; F. Goodall, A.R.A.; E. M. Ward, R.A.; T. S Cooper, A.R.A.; R. Redgrave, R.A.; Sir W. Allan, 8.A.: W. Collins. R.A.; W. F. Frith, 8.A.; J. li. Pyne; W. Muller; E. W. Cooke, A.R.A.•, W. idulready, R.A., &c. The occasion of the sale is a reason why we should especially allude to it. For man y years, as editor of the journal in question, Mr. S. C. Hall has waged war against the sale of mock old masters and other dis honourable practices in picture dealing. He has put the public on their guard against impositions. In doing this, he recently set forth the proceedings of a certain picture-dealer in a way that brought upon him an action for libel; and, although the jury marked their opinion of the case by giving 401. damages, the costs have fallen upon him. To meet this. instead of falling back upon his ordinary sources of income, he has chosen, it seems, to sell his pictures. Fur the course ha has pursued mo dern artists owe him deep thanks, for it must have aided very materially in turning the current of expenditure from old to modern art, where imposition was less easy."— The Builder.
