John Martin is original in his conceptions, both of sithj et and colour, and surpasses all living painters in profuse splendour of imagination. He seems to think nothing grand, save some convulsion of nature, and nothing suitable for his supernatural hues leas titan a miracle. He dips his brush in wizard light and darkness—in earthquake and eclipse, and dashes us oft' timer judgments upon princes and cities till we tremble as we look. We are astonished at his attempts, and are obliged to own that be has at least painted as loftily as we imagine. This is merit of the highest order. Yet it 1s not always well perhaps to seek to astonish, —we wish to be pleased as much as to be dazzled. Subjects within the rangt: of ordinary affection are safest for an artist desirous of mortal approbation : and a man who hopes for bread mud fume in this grass world must work for the worms which arc on it, and not for the gods. We have lived beyond the era of 'Mucks and are hard of be lief ; a class of pictures of the highest order of imagination, and , executed with all the magnificence of art, can only be sup posed to gain the approbation of the higher order of minds—all lovers of windmills after nature, aral lap-dogs after life, will turn away from the effulgence of the " Fall of Nineveh" or the " Doom of Ba. bylon," and squander their approbation on the garbage of art. This is what the artist probably expected, when he dedicated his pencil to such splendid and superhuman tasks. To all men of poetic minds—a nu merous class—those historic landscapes are the most acceptable timings which art has to offer;—poetic pictures arc, as Johnson says, of rare emergence. Landscapes, indeed, ate common enough—scenes exhibiting an acre of meadow, a tree in the middle, a crow flying over the top, and a cow grazing at time bottom. Hut then, who reckons such common. place things among true works of art? An artist should communicate a soul to to his landscape, and embody what is grand or lovely—scenes which awaken sublime emotions—the terrors of a tempest, and the glory of the sunshine. Martin, we have said, paints up to our imagination—we think the grand imagery of scripture fairly embodied in the " Doom of Babylon," and in "Joshua commanding the sun to stand still." These are among the very noblest efforts of the human mind—still they belong more to the imagination than to the heart —we are overcome so much with awe, that we have little sympathy with the human actors. The very excellence of those nohle compositions is their fault. They address themselves to imaginative minds ; the destruc tion of cities and of nations, now, is brought about in a way not at all superhuman—it is effected by powder and ball— by man's folly, and sometimes by woman's, but never by a miracle. Experience affords us no scale by which we can measure the excellence of the artists', isenceptins. In his " Fail of Nineveh," he has fairly surpassed all his earlier works s—the magnificent city is falling a prey to the spoiler; round its innumerable temples and palaces, the torrent of war is pour ing; and the startled grouper ofwomen with streaming eyes,and dishevel. led hair, and men sternly contending with sword and with spear, lend a an interest to the whole scene, which awakens our smpathies. t y painters have equalled Martin in exhibiting "the current of a • cal) , fight," but we know of none who can match him in the terror and sublimity of his landscape; in the boundless:glory of perspective, and in the art of conceiving temples and palaces fit for the residence of arch angels and gods. The picturesque splendour of his architecture, is a fine subject for study—London is but a city of brick.stacks, compared with the meanest city on which the painter has laid his blush. We wish he would make a design for a British palace, an elevation we inean—we might then hope to see something worthy of the island ;—let him drop his miracles, come out of his supernatural cloud, and do a little work for the monarch and the country. It is usual,• in art, to compare one man with another we hear daily of Claud-like scenes—of Rembrandt-looking subjects, of some one who has picked up a bit of the contour of Michael Angelo, and of another who reminds the happy spectator of Raphael ; but who can be compared with Martin ? he is original and alone. Feeling this and know. ing it to be the opinion of many, we were not a little startled by an article on the genius of Martin, in the Edinburgh Review, in which along and an elaborate parallel was drawn between him and Sir T. Lawrence. They are both good-looking men, kindly and courteous, and painters of high name—and there the resemblance ends. ‘Vhat! the limner of ladies' looks—the soft, the feminine Lawrence, like the painter of tempest and storm—of the most august miracles of scripture—of the most terrible judgment of lion !—who could have believed ity Here are winks exhi. biting—we allude to Martin's designs front Milton—a gaping and inexorable hell, peopled with majestic demons, whose heads reach nigh the roof:, or who lie floating many a rood on the melted lava—here are Works filled with an unearthly magnificence. with a su. pernatural splendour with palaces fitter for demons or gods than for men, and with human beings who, compared with the collossal splen dour around, are like grains of mustariteeed to the great globe itself: yet an ingenious critic has discovered a resemblance between these pro ductions and the gentle dames and gentler gentlemen of the late Piesi. dent ! The force of' comparison could go no farther. Out of regard— we had nearly used a softer word—for the fair dame who penned the article in question, we shall say no more than that it was ingenious and unjust in nothing save the comparison which it drew. Many men are and have been like Sir Thomas Lawrence—but John Martin, None but himself can be his parallel ! He has other claims upon our regard ; he lays aside the brush and lifts the graver, and uses it too with the happiest skill. We can hardly trust our pen on telling the world how much we are obliged to him for this. In speaking of his paintings, we kept the even tenour of our way —or indeed leant rather to the severe side, and dealt hint a nab or two to let hint feel the keenness of our weapon ; but in his engraving, there is not one defect on which thecmiker-tooth of criticism can fasten ; ncy, really, if there were any blemishes, we verily believe that we could not be so bitter as to allude to them. We must explain our meaning. On looking at his magnificent paintings, we said !o ourselves, these are fit in splendour and in price for a monarch ; and where have we our hun. deeds or our thousands to lay out on poetic art ? When, lo ! an en. graving was laid before us, to which the artist, with his own hand, and with unrivalled skill, had transferred all the enchantment of the ovi. ginal. This was what we wanted—what we had longed toe, and what we thought nothing short of a miracle could have supplied. There they are—the Fall of Babylon—Joshua staying the Sun—the Deluge—and better than any, the Fall of Nineveh—all framed and hung before us, glowing with the touches of the artist's own hand, and bearing all the value and merit of originals. We have thus become possessed of our treasure cheap. We are encouragers of art, and must assume those patronising airs which belong to men who stand in that imposing attitude! No human joy is perfect—this man's paintings want the academic stamp of approbation. John Martin has no enigmatical letters sup porting his name—he is not numbered amongst the forty who have the secret, the " open sesame," the mark through which worth is known, and pure genius, like pure gold-, obtains instant circulation. How hap pens this ? he is en artist, and he is a mni worthy of ranking with the best and the proudest that ever lifted brush or chisel. For several years, indeed, we imagined him an Associate—we were deceived. A certain Elias Martin, of fifty years standing, occupies the head of the list of Associates ; and though some say he never lived, no one inquires t and, dead or Jive, he is unknown to his brethren. Now Llias may be a most excellent man, and we wish it to be distinctly understood, that we give no opinion about him. Artists are a sensitive race ; and, though of the fairest Ames in Nature, some of them make " damned work," as Gay said Blackmon made. of " Redemption," we have no wish but to say the handsomest thing of the whole Forty.: yet we wish , they would dethrone Elias and put John In his stem/. Tkey have no ides how much pleasure they would give—how many saystatme roman, they would avoid ; and what bur they would do thempalses by ad mitting* wan of first-rate genius,,and in every thin‘a,ppitjeusen, into the Royal Academy. _ -..., - -- , ------------,-- .•-2 - .. r" - -: - ..., l" fr FAcT s447) " • i rDICATR _ tirguresexp ab , ~ • . . \..

I I 2 2 3 '3 4 4 IINA, The following is extracted ifolll the Buenos Ayres British Purket f June 12:— On Tuesday last the Ecclesiastical Court in this city, in the al.os adjoining the State Printing Office, was the theatre of a scene highly terrific. M. Francis Aoust, a native of France, and Dons Mercedes La Rica. his wife, being at issue before the above tribunal, attended Piety on Tuesday morning. In the course of the altercation, Aoust sud denly drew a dagger, and plunged it into his wife's right breast, anti was about to stab himself, when he was seised by the Ser. Pro visor. In the scuffle the latter was wounded, as likewise another clergyman, who, with several more, were in the ante-chamber, and whose timely assistance prevented the consummation of the attempted suicide. A guard of Civicoa were immediately sent for, who conducted Aoust to their barracks, from whence he was removed first to the Police-office, and thence to gaol. Whilst in prison he attempted to cut his throat with a penknife, but was prevented from effecting this de sign. There are several circumstances attending this affair, which, if they do not extenuate the deed committed, are at least of a nature to operate strongly upon a sensible heart, and produce mental aberration. The following letter was found upon the Provisor's table : `• The clock has just struck eleven. At twelve lam to appear In the presence of the woman I best loved, and without whom 1 cannot live. She swore she would love me alone in this world and in the next ; she has been perjured, unfaithful, and perfidious in this world, that she may fulfil her oath in the next. I ant decidedly resolved to take away her life, together with my own, since it can be no ei,joytuent to me without her. To let her live, and see her in the pos.tession of another, that would be more terrible to me than death itself. '• Farewell, beloved father, mother, brother, and sister ; bewail the melancholy fate of your dead son and brother. lie has preferred death to a painful and insupportable existence, as is that when the repose of the soul and the heart is lost.
