We know not exactly whether it is intended to describe the pony, or her Ladyship as preparing for the fishing party. As the latter id not introduced into the picture, we must take it for granted it is the former; and we certaiuly cannot my that he does not put his best "rot Prrmost. Bet unluckily,—this, however, is the artist's fault, and not the pony's,—his fore and hind quarters are not in the same course of motion, for while his fore legs are oft the long trot. the hinder ones arc coming up in a walking pace. We doubt. indeed, if Me ibraoritr has had justice done him ; the eireutestanee , if it should lie so, is not without precedent. We have no doubt but the make and N O OK of the living original is good, but he certainly does tot slew of to advantage on Mr. (larrard's autumn 28.

The portritit of a Par, thus magnificently attired. is a fortunate subject fi:r a painter, if be has talents Stied to do it justice; and these talents Mr. Hat ter possesses in a vary eminent d egree. The countenance, too. in the present instance. as in his favour; its ex pression is marked, and has meaningln it, Physiognomy, it seems, is a science of king standing. " A man," says the son of Sirach, "• may be known by his look, and one that bath understanding by his countenance." And it is well for the artist, when he is not driven, as is often the can?, to draw upon his own invention for the featurei of intellect, but finds them in his subject, ready furnished to his tiaras. The exquisite richness of the iiatin and gold in the robed is given with great beauty of effect. 34. Aleville, a Jaggier exhibiting his Tricks.—G. Jo&rti, R.A. Elect. The purity and spirit which this artist always exhibits in his plc. cures, give him fair title TO be admitted among the Eke?, in which fortunate clam we are happy to find him. flit groups, how ever crowded, ire never heavy, and hit leaks are always full of life. The present picture displays the tame warm colouring, the same correct perspective, and the same animated representation of real life, which distinguish all the productions of his easel. 311. Portrait of Lord Stowell. by Sir T. Liwaenci, wants but little of being a perfect portrait. We shoUld, indeed, have been inclined to pronounce It perfect, had not rihr ge rested so long on his admirable picture 1119) 1110) of the Dnehess . Gloucester, which VANDYKE, had he been mill living, woe have contemplated with delight. The Pn Dime appears to us to reserve his best powers for fiatiak portraiture: whether It is that the sex create a deeper interest. or excites a livelier sympathy, or to whetter other cause of inspiration it into hi tweribed, we cannot undertake to de cide, but the fact is so. The &Whole of the present portrait is ex. tremely graceful, and the dmpety is well cast ; but we think the left arm might be improved ; it struck us as being somewhat too snort and teat square. This might easily be pained over where there is so much that is excellent ; but we would ebb such a portrait as this to be free from defect. The Po, trait of Mrs. Borridge, No 57, by Mr. Sugit, pre. sent.% a very pleasing face. put on the cancan in his best manner. Among the portraits of leading excellence we rank 64, Sir W. DEFUNCT'S portrait of Sir Georg.- Cm Moire. The position of the figure is good, and the tout ensemble may be clamed among the most successful efforts of this admired artist. 73. liese from the Perk at Arandel, the seat of his Grace the Doke of Not:foils—W. DANIEL, R.A. Views from a Park very rarely possess any of those beauties which constitute the charm of landscape: the tbreground is usually too niuca enclosed ; the enthusiasm of the painter has no senile; he must copy the fiat field of herbage on the right, and the stiff range of hawthorn on the left ; his pencil is not free to make a single ad libitons movement,--and hence that tea-tray style which the view before us eichibite.—Arundel Castle, aiS, by the same Artist, is a production of a far superior cast, both in subject and execution. 93. Sancho Parma in the Apartment of the Duchess—C. R. Lesbie, A. We have here a performance, In all ha parts admirable. DON QUIXOTE ranks so high among the master-pieces of elastic merriment, and our love of laughter lies under obligations so in. finite to the renowned SANCHO PARKA, that we greet his petsoni fication with the heartiest welcome. and our enjoyment is still more lively when we find him placed before us in all that magic representation of reality eith which this artist has conjured him on to his canvass. Ile is here the real, intelligible, anti &twat tan. Bible Soneho. His head it a study for a taanio`ogist. His eye, the whole expression of his face, full of shrewd sett:aim , uence his attitude in complete harmony with acharacter, and with the as aumed conceit of his narrat'or --all is matchlew. There is not ajot more of extravagance about his apatarance than belongs to it; every trait that is g iven to him, tends to make his character better tnd:r. stood. He is the finished model of oddity and selfiimpor aux, ground in with an ample portion of wicked wit and proverbial wisdom. We hail him—so fixedly is he before us-..with all the familiarity of an old acquaintance. The figure of the Duchess is full of attractii n ; her mild brow smoothed to the most placid attention, while she lends her ear to Sancho's volubility. The black female, grinning in the spirit of honest frolic, and the listen. ing attendants sharing the humour of the scene, were all selected and grouped in the happiest In intent of conception. The detail of the picture is appropriate and well imagined. The china jar, and the appendages of the Duchess's toilet, are penciled with great taste. The whole scene is inimitably delineated ; it is a master. piece throughout. 11)7. Portrait of a Young Lady in the Florentine costume of 11 ow All 1). R..t. This painting is an imitation, and a faithful one, of the old I s c hool ; it is in its true spirit. The style of countenance is suited to the character. and the costume of the fifteenth century becomes It. The fan of feathers is esilti , idtely coloured; the entire per formance is manifestly finished with great care. Mr. Howard has done equal justice to the subject of his picture and to his own reputation. 110. Siringgkrs offcritaw run goods fir sale or coneealment— D. WILKIE. R.A. • If Mr. Wilkie had rot accustomed us by degrees to the declension of his fame, it would have been difficult to make us believe that this erformance was the production of his atee.alebrated pencil. Who does not remember when the pictures of Devitt WILKIE were the theme of public admire don—when the visitants at the Exhibition wee obliged to ;peep ()niche shoulders of each other, six deep, to catch a sight of his Card-players, his Blisidman's Bet and other works of the suns high cast, which made ,Sibtlaid proud of their countryman, and exalted the British school of art ? Ws look in vain for the traces of this transcendant genius in the works of Mr. Wilkie, the Royal Academician! The composition of his pictures, and their execution, rank him is a quite different clam. He has no preten sions—not the slightest—to his former celebrity. Is it that he has been spoilt by patronage ? Or is it, that having attained his acai'e mical hotfoots, his love of fame has no further stimulus ? Certain it is, that for several years past he has produced nothing that would bear any comparison with his earlier works, much less sustain the splendid reputation which those works had procured fur Mr. Wilkle's genius is not of the staling kind, or he would not, after having filled so wide a space, be content to shrink into such contemptible dimensions. Even the very title of his picture be. mays great carelessuess—" Smugglers Wilting Run Goods for rile or f'oncealment." Ile could not, it seems, be at the pains to settle in his own mind which was intended, and leaves us, therefore, to construe the design of his picture either way. This marks an un pardonable negligence, since a little reflection would hare taught hint, that whether men offer ponds for ask. or bring them formic, eal next, should make a wide differetce to a painter in his manner of treating the subject. The result is very dissimilar, and must be differently exprmsed, because the relative situation of the pettier. , re quires that the design of the pictureshould be explained to the Tee -1 tator, and that which would express the one would not be suitable to the other. His " Cottage Toilet, from Allan Rantsay's Gentle Shepherd" (115), which satins to be meant as a companion to the former, is a better picture ' • but to be bestir as compared with what is had , is no great praise. It is rot the kind of praise Mr. Wilkie was once accustomed to receive ; but that praise, we fear, he will never receive again.

Captain Harris with his squadron had Surrounded the island, and it was understead had landed a body of men, with a determina tion to capture the lawless ruffians; and every hope existed of the complete success of the undertaking.

On Wednesday last, about four o'clock in the evening, a gentleman, accompanied by a young lady, in a chaise and four, arrived at the Bush in this city, on their way to Gretna; and, after having changed horses hastily, res. ended with great speed to the temple of Hymen. 1 hey came by the way of Peoria], and travelled from that town to Carlisle (eighteen miles) in one hour and a half. About eight o'clock they returned to the Bush, where they re mained all night, and on Thursday morning set off in the same style towards the south. The gentleman, apparently about 48 years of age, had the appearance of a naval ot- Geer ; the lady, about twenty, is truly beautiful.--Carfisk Joarmal. The denouement in a late case was porduced by the fol lowing incident:—On the arrival of the lady at Dover, the Custom-house officer insisted upon searching her jewel ease, which she resisted. She said she had brought no thing back from France which she had not carried with her to it, and had undergone an examination previous to her departure from England, and that a second examination would be an arbitrary and unnecessary exercise of autho rity. The officer, however, felt it his duty to persevere; but being aware of the rank and consequence of the lady, proposed to proceed to London, carrying the jewel-case with him, for the purpose of having it examined there The lady feeling herself fatigued by the voyage, and the peril she had encountered at sea, travelled but slowly up to town, while the officer completed the journey with ex pedition; and on his arrival, presented himself 'at the house of the husband, and stated his business. The hies band, without hesitation, opened the case for the satisfaction of the officer, when, to his own great dissatisfaction, he found a letter from Captain W—, which made a deep impression on his feelings. Ile immediately ordered a chaise, and scl out on the Dover road ; and having tree the lady at Rochester, en interview took place, and the arrangement was made which we have stated.—Kent Ilf Levu, y.
