HAYDON'S PICTURE OF THE RAISING OF LAZARUS. This picture which has this week begun to be open to the public, is taken from the narrative contained in the eleventh Chapter of St. John's Gospel. The principal features are taken from the following . : Verse SR.—Jesus, therefore, again groaning in himself, rometh to the grave. It was a cave. and a stone lay on it. 30.—Jesus said—Take ye away the stone ••" 41.—Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. 43.—And when he had thus spoken, he cried witli t a load voice, " Lazarus, come forth." 44.—And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave•clothes, and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them—" Loose him and let him go." Tne performance undoubtedly displays great vigour anti originality of conception, and Areas command of the mechanical and manual resources of the painter's art. The subject had been too often treated by the Italian Masters not to have made it hazardous for a modern; but Mr. Haydon has succeeded in renovating it with a boldness and simplicity worthy of the strong simplicity of Scripture. The advance of Lantos from the grave is to us altogether new, and its effect is full of characteristic graedeur. It is palpably no representation of a work of niters' causes. Something beyond earth—and the power of earth, is at work in this coming forth of the livid anti bloodless being that stands like an apparitioe :ruling men. It has the visible impression of miracle. to this we find the genius of the artist; and we know of no higher praise.—The direct application of the pencil, as the pen to the mind, is the distinctive mark and tri umph of genius. • We look upon this portion of the picture as that in which the Artist had to overcome the greatest difficulties, and as that in which his power bas been moat successfully displayed. The Lazarus seems to us one of the finest conceptions of the modern pencil. Enveloped by heavy grave-cl Awe be is opening them from his face, and stands with t he light of the world just let in upon him. We can imagine a great variety of probahleexpressions is a countenance thus redeemed. Its predominant qua lity might have been joy at the sight of those aroond, or t. rror at the discovery of its resting place, or the vague sitepriseof a mind yet scarcely returning to susceptibility. !int the Artist has struck upon an expression different from all these, and superior to them all. Lazarus seems instinct with the influence which has sumitmeed hiM from the grave. •His breathless features, his pale, fixed. and elevated eye, his unconsciouar.ess of The agitated crowd that are-weeping, kneeling, and wondering before him. are all fine accessories to the leading idea. He is obviously the creature of miracle; lees a roan than a spirit embodied, and a spirit standing before a God. The 'other portions of the picture are executed with great force of expression and breadth of pencil; but we have given the Artist's description, and are nut willing to enfeeble it by any extent of commentary. The attitude iof oar Lord s characteristic, a rare merit in painting ; he stands as in possession of absolute. power over the resistance of nature ; but the countenance is, less seas. • factory to us than the attitude. The Masters of the Ita. Ilan School have filled the general eye with' a . counte nance from which it is unpopular to depart. ,Mr. Haydon has constructed a physiognomy in which intelli gence, abstraction, and dneaighly composure take the place of benignity, beauty, and sensibility. He gives us the portrait of a mathematician; and is careless of conciliating the eye. We involuntarily look for the por trairof a man, and love to indulge the eye with the contemplat.iun of that sublime yet human beauty which could at once weep for Lazaaus and command his gray". The expression of the father of Lazarus seems cold sad improbable. The mother's irresistible rush of joy and wonder rebukes this unpaternal anal ill-visaged' Jew. Of the two sisters, Martha is the finer study of the figures and Mary of the countenance ; but they are both remote from the beauty which the Artist might have so ewe} , and naturally given. The attitudes too might have more decidetlis inudetedsabs •atoe . y. Mary, whose characteristic appears from the narrative to have Men dez.g affeL•tion, sees nothing of the brother whom she bad weptato see, and fixes her eyes oo the ground. Martha, evidently of a oh anger and more, stirring temperament, she who went to meet our Saviour,' and who probably exercised some doubt either of his power or of his will to raise a body already four days dead, ought, we think, to have acknowledged her sudden and full conviction of his omnipotence by some gesture of holy wonder, by some - attitude of prayer, by some prostration. But we can allow for the choice of dif fi culties which Must perplex &avast Artist in the progress of a work so diversified, so fail, and so noble, as this picture. •'; The Pharisee mid Sarlducee are unnecessarily repulsive. The Artist should have taken advantage of their intro duction to skew us the vigour and vividness inseparable from the Jewish countenance under all its degradations. and which in the days of the Temple made it probably the most picturesque and powerful in the world. He has, however, made his two Doctors scarcely above the brutal, and he has dune it intentionally. The woman with the urn on her head is the handeoniest in face•and attitude of &It his personage!. Yet she does not helots,/ to the story; ibe even resists its expressiveness. No mere pitcher-car rier. would have come to see the opening of a grave, or no pitcher would hare remained on her head in the agitie tion of so pro.ligimis a display of power. But Lazarus• himself makes magnificent compensation for 'errors. like. these. Ills walking out of the upright tomb, instead of rising from a pit, is at once a bold, and justified depar ture ftom the common conception of the Italian School. The colouring is in general forcible, though some time must elapse before it acquires due depth and mellowness. The precept " prematur elicit:warn" may be as msentisl to the Painter at the Poet. But.in Whatever state this grand Picture be looked at, it mutt be felt as striking proof of the advance of the British pencil, and of the perseverance and genius of the Artist. t We hope th a t it will be a not less striking exetaplifieetion 'of that publicpatrooage amt illustrious liberality, which is as loud' the honour of him who gives as of hilt brtitom it Is received.

A letter was produced i written by Mr. Peter Moore, as chairman of the Cons mittee of the Theatre, appointing Earl "the honorary superintendent of the printing establishment of Drury lane Theatre." The defendants' Counsel contended that this letter did not authorize Earl to con; act debts on the part of the Committee. The plaintiffs' Counsel argued that Eirl's appointment was s,:fficient to render the Committee liable for the price of the paper ordered by him for the printing establish ment of the theate r. The Lord Chief JUSTICE was of opinion that the letter constituted Earl the proprietors' agent, and therefore render fd them liable, as the plaintiffs' Counsel con- tended. The delivery of the paper in question, at what was understood to be the printing office of the theatre, in an adjoining yard, was proved. The invoices were di rected to "The Proprietors" or " The Committee" of Prury-lane Theatre. Mr. SCARLET?, for the defence, observed upon the omission of the plaintiffs to call Earl, as showing that be did not consider himself authorized to order the pa per upon the defeodants credit. A similar action hav ing been brought by a person named Sydney, Earl . was examined on the trial, and on his evidence the plaintiff was nonsoited. The learned counsel objected . that the action on simptecontract could not be maintained against the defendants, who were an incorporate body by Act of Parliament. Ile then detailed the circumstances of his case, and proceeded to call his witnesses. Mr. Dunn, the assistant Treasurer, was present when several weekly payments, of 161. each, were made to Earl, in pursuance of an agreement which he under stood had been entered into between him and the com mittee, by which the committee were to purchase a printing press, and Earl to procure paper, ink, work men, &c. and to defray all the expenses of printing the bills of the house for 161. a week. The witness, how ever, could not swear that he was present when the agree ment was entered into. Mr. P. Moore, AI. P. was called, but admitting that he was still a proprietor of the theatre, he was not exa mined. • W. Hillier, a journ yman printer, stated that hrt.was employed by Earl, in the of fi ce adjoining the theilre, where (resides the play bills) plays, farces, and songs, were printed on some of Messrs. Magnay's paper, and sold at a shop in Brydges Street, Covent Garden. He was' sent by Earl to Magnay's for paper, but they refit sed to give him any, alleging that Earl had not been punctual in his payments. Earl afterwards gave him the Money for the plaintiff, who then let him have the paper. On his cross-examination,he said that the plays, songs, &c. printed at this press, were sold at the Theatre 11 - 1 Mr. Rodwell, the box keeper ; and plays, &c. printed at another press, were not sold at the Theatre. Largo bills of the Oratorios were printed on Magnay's paper. Mr. Dunn recalled, stated that Mr. }lodise!' rid an annual sum to the Proprietors for leave to sell what books he plea,ed at the theatre. Mrs. Chapman said she rented the coffee room from Mr. Rodwell, and had the privilege of selling books in the theatre, but was not obliged to purchase them at any particular prinling office. Richard White said he was engaged at an annual salary, (which has dryer been paid him) by Earl, in the name of the Committee, to keep the shop in Brydges- Street, Covent-garden. WE DNESD AT.
