EIUTIS[i 11\-,TITUTION. Among the Pictures exhibited this year iri .the British Institut:on, we feel-proud in asSerting, that many are to be selected, Which in colour, composition, and execution, raise the art Of painting in England, nearly to a levelwith that-usually designated by. the general term of the -Italian School. Though the magnificent pi MitictionS of 1)s ViNet, Itarmaee, and ;NI:CII.:kW ANotLu, may be marshalled and quoted as it to crest' by their very names, the attempt at com petition in our countrymen; yet When the veil of prejudice is removed, and the bubble of ignorance hushed, justice will declare, that the dignity acid moral utility of the Art is as highly esteemed, and as nobly sUppiirted in England, as it was by these extraordinary men, whose talent; and whose works command and possess the admiration and, i:siltation of the civilized world. Of • the second and lower "class Pic tures of the Italian School, but little need be said ; many delight by the sweetness of the colouring, or the facility of the execution, but out of the mass, few are worthy even of a place in our galleries; since the subjects of them Lae for the must part, either uninteresting or • indelicate, and cease to attract atteetkion by their perpetual repetition mid in adeli tion to thuSt;i4}illpef.:Lkie detects are too often-matilited and unskilfully repaired:` However much the Claborateprodues tions of the Dutch and Flemish Schools may astonish by the patience necelisai ytv -preeilote - thent,-or the fidelity with which the objects are delineated, with not inany exceptions,- they disgust by the uninteresting vulgarity of ther subjects,..--or by, ' the barliarotur inattention to character and costume in their. attempts to tread in the more elevated paths of art.—And, except those which can be fairly enumerated among the ex ceptions, are now hut seldom 'called for, except by the youthful Collector, Who is cajoled by the Merckant, or carried captive by the chrtrin of a name; but those who . possess a true feeling for the Art, and a cultivated taste, reject them .from their collections as society -with which every man should be ashamed u associate, and which-tend neither to improve the heart, instruct the mind, orentertain the fancy. . Though the Amateurs of EThgland have exerted themselves to support the efforts oi genius, the peculiar circumstances of the times render it impossible for many individuals to remu nerate the talent they admire, and which has produced, by perseverance, souse noble work, the contemplation of which either rouses the Mind of the beholder to a livelier sense of virtue, excites a stronger abhorrence of vice, recals some' classic imagery to his recollection, or softens his heart to the milder affections of-charity. Thus the aspiring Artist is compellid to curb the vigour of his imagination, arid pass the greater portion of his time in inferior productions, Which command a ready sale, hut which neither - establish his repu tation nor gratify himself. Those, then who, by superior ta lent, and more vigorous exertion produce, amid the difficulty that surrounds thew,Works which bear the stamp of superior taste and knowledge,.and persevering industry and research, demand not only our comniendatioit but. support. In the 14ritish Institution the Artist has the fairest opportunityof finding that his pictures will be examined and rewarded by an enlightened Public, and his efforts fOstered by the Royal Pa-. Iron and Members of an Institution, who -have done all that can-be done towards increasing the taste and raising the es. timation of British Att. 'The. first picture of which we shall speak is, Daniel at the Feast, given by Belshazzar to the Nobles of Babylon, Inter preting the hand writing on the wall. The first impression on the mind of the 'fel - snider, is that of astonishment and awe, for - by whatever Artist, or in whatever country this stupendous subject has been attempted, every. attempt sinks into comparative insignificance ; when placed in competition with this extraordinary effort of the human mind. The manner in which st is treated, is truly sublime. The attention to costume, the introduction of the minute'', incidents relating to the event, and which are to be learnt only by research, and which so greatly brighten the effect of the story; and the precision With which es err' accompanying circumstance is pourtrayed, at once convince us, that the mind that designed the work, possesses the rare combination sat elevated. genius and patient talhaur. The sublime concep tion of the indefinite blazing Characters, - the 4 aidisince . of :which illuminates the extensive hall beneath, cannot be too highly appreciated. The blettanag- of the Egyptian and Eastern Architecture, was a noble thought, Which left the genius of Martin unfettered to compose a range of Architec which stands unrivalled in the fields of Art:—the extent of perspective through the halls is all that the imagination can desire ; and the magnificence of the Royal Banquet, 'where were met the thousatid Lords of Babylon, cannot be surpassed. The Halls, which were too extensive to be voided, is an historical incident, which has afforded an opportunity to the Artist of increasing the terror of the scene, by introducing the war of elements as indicative of the wrath of Heaven. The Won in her eclipse—anti fading in the gloom and dis tance, t he imposing fabric; of Babel and of Belus. The 'arrangement of the-complicated groups will admit of the strictest scrutiny; Daniel, Belshazzar, the Assassins, the women k the Chaldean sages, all hold their stations, each in their tura-command attention and increase the interest of the spectatof ; and on examination wilt be seen to possess a varied and appropiiate expression. The dismay and frantic offer- - ings to the idol in the first Hall is - happily conceived and finely contrasted with the dignified composure of the Prophet.lt would exceed:our limits, and perhaps anticipate the surprise of the.beholder, if we were to detail the endless beauties of thiS eulditue picture. The chastened eye of the experienced connoisseur may, after the enchantment is removed under Which he 'has heen held, regret that the colouring of Mr: Martin's Agurei does not possess that softness which would add greatly to his artistial merit, and perhaps wish that some part of the foreground was in a lower and more subdued tone ; but these trifling shadows will never detract, but in the eye of • envy, from a work which places Mr. Martin on a proud . pre-emineuce, - and ensures hint the admiration ofpos tet sty. The.. Lion with, his prey disturbed by a Serpent.—Mr. Enwtet LASSEEIt has 'scarcely attained the age of manhood, and yet Isis productions possess the knowledge and the bold ness of matu r e experience. His Alpine Mastiffs discovering the frozen traveller in the snow, which was exhibited last year, called forth the-warmest encomiums from every judge, and every lover of the art : and as if justly stimulated by pub lic approbation, he lees this year produced a picture of the highest class in his - line of art. The monarch of the forest is represented as leis-lag killed ti fawn, which bears all the characteristics of having suffered :a violent death, and, when about to fetst on his prey, in the recess of a forest, is disturbed by a serpent. Both appear appalled at the pre sence.of each other—the - serpent threatening resistance, is dragging away his glittering coil, while the lion, as if aware of its deadly venom, -snarls as if afraid to attack, since his victory must be purchased "by his death. The correct and powerful drawing of the whole group evince a - thorough knowtedge of animal anatomy, and the care ansitrut Is of the colouring tell us, that the studies have beets made from the beasts themselves. 'flue size of the animals being that of na..-e lure, renders the picture terrific, and ensures its le eservatiorr in some noble gallery, for'which it is peculiarly adapted. Vi'e do not think.the Picture happily balanced in its composition, nor the back ground corresponding in grandeur with the grotto, arid the colouring 'of the sky and distance is somewhat too Idise and cold, which injures the harmony of the picture; but when we - consider the. grandeur of the design, and the age, of the Artist, such observations must only tend to in .crense our esteem for his talents and ind'ustry. The Pointers standing on the iliscoswy of'game, depicts the character of this species of dog totke very life ; and in drawing and truth of colour, disputes precedence with his 'greater work.— The Rival Candidates is :very *clever, as well as his other Sketches, &c.—His Dogs attacking X Pig, is 4,Picture which, fur its truths to - Nature can Ismail; be excelled.; but, we trust, that Mr. Landscer will nut leave the higher range of Art, to delineate that which may surpriz6-hut, can beter please. Versus, after• heirs wounded• 14/ Diomede, conducted by Iris-lo Mars, Mr. G.llarrett.—This is the same Picture that ktas , as exhihited.last year at the Royal Academy, and we think it improved buds in effect and tone. Mr. Hayter in this Picture displays his • knowledge both of the Antique and of the Italian School. _ The general effect is splendid and im posing, and on close examination it will. be seen that the greatest attention has been bestowed on the finishieg of every part. The head of the nearer horse pos sesses a high classic feeling. The car, the heels ground, the armour, &c. are of the same stamp, whieh makes us sincerely regret 'that we cannot commend the elm racterof the principal figures. Venus does not bear the celes tial form stud elasticity of the Cyprian Goddess, and is both too old and too maternal its her figure. Mars conveys the idea of activity and strength, but nut that of dignity;. and his attitude is neither appropriate nor graceful. The Artist's in trolluction of.. the Splendid Bow, shews a confidence in his knowledge of the proper disposition of colours, and adds to the brilliancy of the picture. Though the colours are happily blended, and finely balanced, the greets drapery on the shoulders of Terror is rather violent, and beavy from the its distinettiossof its partS. rht. l - layter's Artistial knowledge is too powerfully evinced in this Picture, and that of the Spirit ed Horse coming from the sea, not to make us hope that it will he applied to subjectS which will increase his reputation and be preserved for the interest they excite.—Nu. a richly coloured deep toned portrait, nut by any means ad apted to the character of Cleopatra.—No. a cleably paint ed, prettily drawn, uninteresting little Picture of Two Lancers and their Horses, which in truth, both of colour and out line, approach the finer works of Stubbs. • Pe7;elope Utysse; ;—Mr . Hturcm—Ercry subject relating to Penelope, carrik s with it to the cultivat ed mind the charm of attraction, and the manner in which Mr—Hilton has felt and delineated this touching incident, excites a warmer sentiment for that perfect model of female purity and love. Penelope is depicted as overcome by the intenseness of her feeling at being assured that she again beholds Ulysses, a . nd sinking as she attempts to rust/ to his embrace; this diffieUlt and complicated axo-.-tisn is •tivried to a point, to which no•bing can al/•either reiniett;mt or force. The figure and countenance of tilysses is nouie and expressive, and his costume the result of a thoriitigh acquaintance with the earliest specimens we pos sesi vf the Grecian dress. The kneeling fentle• atten dant expretsiom and-bra ut y ; • di ride: Pi mr, lope, and is cf itself a Model of the mingled feelings ot af fection And surpriie. The old Eutynome is - akt,that could be delineated irexpression, both of face and figure. The gene ral tone, breadth, and colouring of this beautiful picture, ac cords in every respect with the subject, and convinces-us that it is the production of an Artist Who has added to his native feeling of barmouy,, the study of the highest masters of. the Italian. School. Telemachus dues not partake of that heroic beauty which - would have increased the in-terest of the whole; and the. drapery in'whith he is mantled appears toms some-- shat heavy; and the females on the extreme right, though. expressive,. alight ,have had snore variety of attitude, and a more graceful contour. The drawing is every where firni and good, and the imicilling free and yet delicate. -This picture must ever he admired, and will be an ornament to any-collec tion in which it may he .placed. . Chatelc:r making known to Merry Queen of Scots his love for her ;—H. FRADELLE.—We do not remember to have seen any work of Mr. Fradelie's which can dispute the palm with this lovely little 'picture. Chalelat was Mary's Secretary, had accompanied her tions France, and was hurried away by that passion over which our reason has but little controul, and which led hint to destruction. Being directed by Mary to divert her melancholy, he sung an air of his own composition, which declared to his Royal Mistress that she was the object of his love; the air is beautiful, and ends thus— " J'ase Wen ;tinter, mais Je ne Vase pPs le dire." _ Mary, in an antique Oratory, is listlessly reclining in her seat, as if touched by the words of the air, and with the sen timent they breathed—her hand, in which she holds a volume s of her favourite Pctrarch, has unconsciously sunk from its station. On her brow is an expression of tender melancholy, W;iicit, on being examined,steals into the very soul, sad leaves an impression which declares that it eannot he surpassed and we only leave the lovely Mary•to return and bestow on it fresh admiration. Her dress, her mien, her attitudes all add to the cha:m,and we fearlessly pronounce it a faultless figure, which alone would be sufficient to stamp the reputation of the Artist. Chatelar, who is placed opposite to her, seems afraid to meet the eye of the object of his adOration ; and while he sings his'fingers touch the chords °fan instrument be holds—though his expression. is good, his ,fiNre noble, and dress e. , ,-,propriate, we cannot - compare it, in attitude or grace, with the figure of the lovely Mary, The hi each!' of light so happily conducted, and playing-on te rich coverlet of the table, at which Mary is placed, challenges competition with any of those plasters whose style hears au affinity with Mr. Frsidelles, and the clear and deep tone which reigns through the Picture, with the happyolistribution - and balance of colour, give it an effect whLeb, added to its oth4r b.aoties,llacel it of-an}` amid the MOSS, ada , ,ired cake - J.OA is e4s of any master, or nuaisi FREMASONiIy. •;": MASONIC NO .

The SPEAKER stated the House to have yes terday waited on the King with the Address voted in reply to his Majesty's Speech, to which his Majesty had been pleased to return a most gracious Answer. ELECTION PETITIONS. The order for 'regulating the presenting Erection Petitions was read, and the Petition front Trag6riy, complaining of all undue Election, and presented in the last Session of Par liament, was ordered to be taken into consideration ou the 13th February. Mr. C. W. iVYNN doubted whether the House had not ex ceeded its powers by taking the course pursued with res p ec t to this Petition. When it ordered a Petition to be taken into consideration on a particular day, he held the House to be bound to inert on that day, unless' the consideration of the P6tition were - previously postponed, as otherwise a mo tion for adjourning over that day might defeat the order for taking any petition into consideration. A Petition against the return for Aldhorough was ordered to be taken into consideration on the 13th March. COLLECTS. AND ORDERS IN COUNCIL. Mr. H.

Mew. her, that at a period like the present, when economy was so very desirable in every department, that it would he well to abstain from pressing far the printing of every petition like the present. He therefore hoped the Ron. Member would not persevere in the motion he had made. Mr. DENNISON agreed with the Hon. Gentleman that economy was desirable, but could not agree with him that the present Petition ought not to be printed. Those from whom it came, though in a humble situation, were as much entitled to have their feelings gratified .by having their sentiments made known to their fellow subjects as any other body of men.could be. Lord MiLTON was glad to find the Hon. Member for Kent so alive to the necessity, of observing the most rigid economy, and he trusted . the House and the Country would regard it only'as an earnest of the zeal with which, for th'i ftiture,,the .Hon. Member would labour for the reduction of every use less expellee and'unneeessary office.

Mr. SYKES preseeted a Petition from the Landholders and Occupiers of the Parish of Conli:ham, in the County of York, setting forth the distressed state of Agriculture, in that part of the country, which was such as to threaten the Farmer, relief were not afforded, with utter ruin. He wished to press this subject on the-consideration of-the House, because it seemed to escape the attention of the Government. In the Speech from . he Throne, lie did not perceive it seas mention ed. He supposed it was forgotten by the Noble Lord and his Majesty's other Ministers, with respect tu what had been said in that House of the appearances of returning national pros perity. He was bound to believe that it was true, but he had been able to meet with nobody out of doors oho believed one word about it. The agricultural interests at all events deserve souse attention— The Petitioners prayed for the removal of Ministers, ;led a tonal change of measures. As far as his ex perience went, he felt disposed to say, that nine-tenths-of the ,nation concurred with them in the wish thus expressed. He proceeded to condemn as foolish and mischievous the late proceedings against the Cloven, which be regarded as' having been nursed by folly find supported by perjury.—The Petition was ordered to printed. Mr. Alderman WOOD presented,two Petitions 'frem the Wards of Farringdon . Within arid Bishopsgate, praying fur the restoration of her Majesty's name to tine Liturgy, and for the restitution of all her rights.—The Petitions were ordered to-be printed. Mr. HOBHOUSE rose to supply some additional com ments on the assertion made on a foraer night by the Noble Lord opposite, that the Government possessed the confidenee of the country. He had Emir petitions to present. The first was one from ~ the Inhabitants of the parish of St. George, Hanover-square.. In that parish there was a mock:loyal , party, by which a mock-loyal Address, had been got op. This, ,after lying ten days for signature, had received four hundred and fitneen names. Such was the success of the mock-loyal AddresS—while the :present petition, after lying for signa ture abent ten hours, had been signed by an equal' number, and would probably have received the signatures of as many more had it remained open to be signed till now. The peti tion prayed the House to take into its considerations tine pre. sent state of the Country, and to restore the name of the Queen to the Liturgy. The second petition was front the So ciety of Bookbinders to the same effect. The third from the Town of Langford, signed by uue thousand and seventy per • sins,•calling the attenti o n o f the House to the iiistrees',l the Country—prayed . far ati inquiry into l>e atrieirivs, aC Manchester-and for t' restoration of ht , r the Liturgy, and restitution of ail her just rights, tijid far a.Parliamentary Reform. The fourth petition was froai the Town of Sidaiouth, signed 450 individuals. This leaat could not be objected to as disaffected. Last year, Soeli . was their attachment .tOlbe Government, that they could -not be brought to petition, on account of.the busines.r.; ac Manchester. Now they came forward to petition for the missal of Ministers. He was hare:Med to urge.as far as he possibly could, the importance of these petltions a being take • into the consideration of the House. With r ennet to .the great questionwhicb was to come on that night,,be did not propose to, • speak at that moment. He would, bowever, say one word to the Member for Guildford. He .was in error When he stated that question to be merely a legal gut stjun.-, He Nlr. Hohhouse) considered it to be very different from:a mere legal - question. It the right of the King to alter, the names ill the Liturgy were established, still they.woidd have to inquire whether it was lit that a person should lie e, ,n -demised without inquiring or hearing, and on evidence which had ptoved insufficient to make out the charge against the party to the satisfaction of the Tribunal before whoa', she - was to be tried. It unglit seem strange that the question of Re form should be connected with the proe..a;ilings against tht Queen. He, however, thought it was right for, accrodiiig to the just notions of these petitions, had any real respooSi hility attached to Ministers, they would net have dared to take the part they had taken. The. him would now be takea from the eyes of those who had believed that the , r ,. pc were either actually orvirtaally represented in that I lonse. They hal the hest proof that that House was nut raiii:iikied to represent. the people by Ministers, in the CMOitel of . a Noble Earl, •who, at the commencement of. the late pro ceediugs, had disregarded the ey.pressed sense of that House on the subject, but had subseqnently given up- the Bill, as lie said, from regard for the feelings of the peo ple of England. From this, it was clear, that the House of Commons w as not considered to express, th e sense of the p •uple, and that the Noble Lord to Whom he had allotted, thought it necessary - to collect the sentiments of the Pahlic trout some other quarter. The HouSe ought now in-some way or other, to prove that it represented 'the country: In other times, when Ministers brought forward measures of great importance, if they failed to carry them, they retired. Now the case was different, He remembered, though he was not in Parliament at the time, that the present Ministet a had staked their situations on the Property Tax, but when the decision of the House was against them, they did not retire. Iu Site same way-they had determined to stand or fall by the Bill of Pains and Penalties. That had failed, but slid they • had not ietired. He believed that if they should he defeated (of which he had not the smallest idea),that still they would remain its office to-morrow and the day after, and that in fact • they would remain in their present situations so long as they. lived, .and dying, would hand them over to their heirs, ad ministrators, and assigns.- He concludid by expressing his determinatiou to use his humble effotts in opposing Minis-: tens, to save,his country from impending ruin. Mr. Strjeant ONSLOIV said the idea imputed to him, was . too absurd for him es er to have ent e rtain e d. H e t h e n ex plained what he had said on a former evening, but denied having said that the question about to he discussed was mei e- • ly a legal question. He had not merited to be treated as an idiot, and desired if lie were to be cited in future, that Ins words Might be correctly quoted. - Mr. HOBHOUSE had never supposed the Hon. and Learn-, ed Gentleman to be an idlot. , —(Cries of " Order l")—Ile was the last man in the world to say any thing to disparage the Learned Gentleman, or to speak with peisonal disrespect of any one.. Many, however, had thought, as well as h'insell, that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman considered the ques tion about to come on to he merely a legal qurstion.- 7 -(Cries of " No, no..!') —The Petitions were ordered to be printed. . Mr. F. PALMER presented a Petition, signed by 1,300 of the Inhabitants of Reading, in Berks, praying the House to call -for the dismissal of Ministers, a n d to reject any new measures that may be resorted to, with a view of casting 4 stigma on the Queen.

DE CItESPIGNY presented a Petition from the ;.o)...liitauts of Walton Hampstead.—Or dried to lie on the table.

Mr. presented a Petition, praying the restoration of the Queen's name to the Liturgy, front the Lord MaN or,- Aldermen, Livery, and Common Council of the watt of Not- • tingham. The Hon. Member was sorry the name of the Queen had ever been withdrawn trona the, Liturgy, and !toped smile steps would be taken to relieve the eoutitry hunt the distressed state to which it had been reduced. Mr. MARTIN (of (lalway) approved of this Petition infi nitely more than of that which had been presented before by the Queen's Attorney-Genet al. lie made every allowance fur the situation in which that Learned Gentleman stood, as cite of her Mikiesty's Ndvisers, but before a foul conspiracy charged, proof of the fact ought to be obtained in some way. • He would now give notice, that if in the approaching debate he should have charges of conspiracy, peijury, and false Swearing from the other side of the House, he for one would Challenge those Gentlemen.—(A laugh.)—He would chal lenge those Gentlemen to put their assertions in some way of proof. This could be dune by moving for certain parts. — (Cries of " Move.") lie hoped the Gentlemen- un the other side would be cautious how they preferred a charge of a eOti spiracy to degrade, or imputed to their opponeots any other foul acts against the Queen. Mr. DENMAN had no apology.to offer. The Idnguage.ai luded to by-the Hon. Gentleman was not his, but that ot the Petition, which lie had presented. It was not his, though possibly on a proper occasion he might justify nod defend it. The Petitioners merely stated, that in their opinion a c racy land existed, and expressed a hope that if such were the tact, the parties to it would be brought to .punishment. In this sentiment he should expect the Host, Gentleman himself to concur. On %shoo) punishinernt would be likely to it was net for Win to say.—Mr. mAnTIN explained. The petition tvas ()Hoed to be printed. Mr. L. KECK presented a petition from Hinckley, in Lei cestershire, • praing for the restoration of the Queen's name to the Liturgy, and calling the iittenti'm orParlMment to'the distressed state of Agriculture, and the stoguition-41:orn inerce.—Ordered to be printed.
