The Landscapes of Dr. tontherhourg demand and compel our attention. The rich, animated, boldness of tint which distin• guishes them beyond any others. would fascinate the e3e esen were their general merit less determinable. The Land Stgrri, wall an orerturned LVagg, , on, &c. (No. 7), is a masterly per formance, yet it recats to our recollection au excellent piers by the same artist, exhibited tunny years ago. We say nut this to detract from the Fuhiect now before us. It is possible to de. pi et the represent:Ohms of nuinerous land storms tv holly dissimi lar from each other, anti the attempt rather testifies the o p r i elice than the poverty of the artist's ideas. The heavy gloo:a that Swells round a liTfty castle, and seems to come forward in ore vast sombrous mass law a magnificent eifeet. The flow of vivid light through this mass on the fore ground object, and the tem pestuous force of the wind which eTery libeamNit of liaise 0 1 ) • jects assist to display, are certainly among the happiest etiorts of this e teellPot artist.

A few more parted clouds might havejudicionsly broken his breadth of blue sky ; while the over-brilliant flush of the L% titer Might have givers way to the glitter of the rain drops on the fon ge, which, with all their lovely freshness, have not sufficiently that tricklinz glossiness so remarkable after a shower.
