THE ARTS. NORTHCOTE has added to his high repatation, by an admirable Portrait of the present Bishop of SALisilUitY. It is • very correct likeness, and is throughout painted with great vigour and spirit. The Episcopal ensigus are well disposed, and the atti tude is dignified without formality. He has been equally successful in a Portrait of Earl Cowes'', in his costume as a Peer. The colouring is peen-, liarly chaste,. and the whole is a masterly compo sition. Both of these pictures do honour to the modern school. This artist has also made a very promising progress in a Portrait of Sir CIIAILIA Blois.* Ns, in the act of takingCuracoa, an achieve ment that places his name high in the rank of British Heroes. The gallant Officer is to be re presented as heading his intrepid band of tars, and the picture is likely to be worthy of the glorious ac tion which it is intended to record. The Artist, like his great predecessor. RXISENs. does not think the inferior annuals beneath his pencil, and he has made two excellent pictures of dogs,. one belonging to Lady Dxssite, and the other to Sir PHILIP Mo- NoX. We ought some time ago to have mentioned an adroirable picture by quother Artist. who unites 'varioasprovinces and is very successful in all. We mean.W•an, who lately painted a picture for Lord GIENVti.LN, of a favourite greyhound, which the Artist introduced five times on the same canvass. and varied the attitudes with so much judgment vat taste, as to form • very pleasing groupe. No thipg could he more spirited of the kind, and time picte.(t altogether doss great credit to the ingeni oas attist. MAJOR CAMPBELL. The Dublin Papers of the 24th state, that the respite granted to this unfortunate Officer, con victed of the murder of C;ipt. Boyd, in a duel, at the late Assizes or Armagh, having expired on Tuesday, the 2.1 d, an order warsent oil on that day, from Dublin Castle, to Armagh, for his ex ecution on the 24th ; and the Dublin Papers of! the with, Mate, that by letters from Armagh, received that morning, this unhappy man un derwent the dreadful sentence of the law, on the preceding duty. His fate has been rendered peru liarly interesting, by the unremitting exertions et Mrs. Campbell, to procure a mitigation of his punishment, in the prosecution of which, she ap pears to have endured titigues of body and mind, which might Be supposed too great for female ! strength. On her arrival at Windsor, with alklerno rial to His Majesty. supplicating mercy, it was eight o'clock, and His Majesty had retired to his apart ment. Her Majesty, notwithstanding, presented the Memorial that night, sod Mrs. C. received the kindest attention from the whole of the Royal Fa mily ; hut it appears to , have been a case to which the Royal mercy could not he extended, and the law has been accordingly permitted to take its course. - - Major Campbell made his escape from Ireland after the duel, and lived with his family under a fictitious name for several months at Chelsea: but his mind became so uneasy, he at last determined to surrender himself to take his trial. be the result what it might. He was a first cousin of the Earl of Breadalbane, and a luau esteemed and beloved by all his friends. it is superfluous to add. that Mrs. Campbell is a most amiable woman. She has four infant children. The games of single-stick, wrestling, &e. at'White Horse-hill, near Vithagton. Berk., an Friday awl Saturday, afforded a high treat to the amateurs.
