The sermon was preached by the Archbishop of Yea, the King's Lord High Almoner. from the sth chapeer of St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans, mid the 10th verse, from which his Grace delivered an excellent and appropriate sermon to the day, in which he ably combated the doctrine of Socinianisni, and supported the divinity of our Saviour by citing *mend presages from St. Paul's writings.

If we occesionelly recur to some of the wo-ks in the Institution, which we briefly noticed at the opening of the Exhibition, it will be fur the pur pose of going snore into the detail of their merits, of answering any objeciions tiro may he taken to them, or of expl the opinion which the a rectors of the Institution may pronounce . 1; . 011 the pretensions of the Artists. The gradual expansion of the public taste, end of that feeliag fir the Fate Arts which is essential for their developeinent, becomes every day more manifest, and much of it may be traced to the exertions of the Institution.— The sale of Pictures becomes every day inCreiteing. end though we have occasionally to lament that some of grest merit reinsin nosold, yet. on the whole, the public attention is at much alive to the subject as can well he expected—looked we have herd that some Pictures which reiss.iin with the Artists would have found a sale, were not the prices a little above the mark that °sight to hoer beesi fixed in the peseta. state of the Arts. This' is bad policy. for the price must in general keep pace with the patrouagr, and it is too soon to expect (except from a few munificent individuals) that splendid support which the Arts were wout to re ceive in the more fortunate eras of their existence. We have already alluded to the rapist sale of Pictures in the present Exhibition, particularly those of the younger Artiste—to assist the efforts of the historical Painter is the primary object of the lust'. tution; but elevated compositions in lauslecape sometimes have a strong claim to its notice and fostering encouragement. There are some of tisk clan in the present Exhibition. Mr. ALLSTON'S Ekes has all the sublimity of solitude that Rousseau could fancy. or SALVATOR ROSA paint. The whole character of the screw is desolation and sterility ; the forms and effect's in parts are rugged, perhaps to a fault ; but, as a whole. it must be considered as a sublime Wert emanating from strong feeling, by powers of a high order. The Angel Uric! by this Artist has been pur chased by that mussificetif Patron of the Fine Arts, the Marquis Of STAFFORD. at • price of one hundred and fifty guineis, and our Readers are already aware, that the Directory; of the Institution have presented the Artist with 1.50/. is a testimony of their approbation 'of his performance. We are sorry to find Mr. HOFILAND . II historical landscape of Jerusalem still unsold—we sincerely hope, that, like Mr. Matertw's Jashests it will nut be fated to pass with ointment admiration through successive Exhibitions, and then return to the Ar. tilt% painting room. Mr. HOFFLAND has been eminently successful in this picture, and he has evidently much improved by studyiug the finest works of CLAUDE. His work pommy' the meg nificence of Jerusalem, surrounded in the distance by mountains, under the effect of the extraordinary phenomena which attended the crucifixion. The Artist has largely availed himself of all the super natural appearances which history records as the accompaniment of that awful event. The picture receives its light from a supernatural emanation from the Saviour, and this light presents a fine contrast to the darkness that covered the land—from the same divine light he has thrown n ray upon Bethlehem. The architecture exhibited will be justified by the probability that Herod would natu rally adopt the Roman and Greciau architecture to ornameut a Roman provinCe. A line fr idria is con veyed of the, destruction of the Temple, by enve loping . its centre with clouds and lightning. The Pharisee and Disciple in the fore-ground, with a burial place, and the rising of the dead, display a fine and fertile imagination; and the manner which the whole subject is handled affords • Irma of the powers of the Artist to e.:rry to the confines of Art the expression of a sublime subject, to which uo human effort can do adequate justice. There is an awful sublimity in the whole Picture, and there is a moat judicious use of the supernatural light, which discloses in every direction forms of classic grandeur and sublimity. Some persons have injudiciously imagined that the present of loot, given by the Directors .of the Institution to Mr. BROCZEDON. was as a token of their approbation of his large Picture. This is not the fact. It is perfectly well understood, that the Director* abstained from giving any opinion on the merits of the Picture, and gave the money as a reward to the acknowledged industry and zeal of the Artist in his profession, and as et encourage ment to his future efforts, as well as a recognition of his rower* when employed on a work of less extent. The public need not be told, that when an Artist actually arrives itt great proficiency,•his labours, if 1w choose to exercise them, will suffi • ciently repay him—it is on the road to excellence that a helping hand is wanting, awl this the Direc tors of Ow Institution extend to the young Artist. Dr. Johnson has forcibly described the character of that patron who saw you struggling unheeded in the waters, and when you remelted the shore r. en . cumbered you with his help." The eitablisliment of this Institution is to encourage those whir clis. close merit in the pursuit of a toilsome study, and to prevent them, iii their progress, from piuirs2 in obscurity and difficulties.
