powerful and eloquent sermon from Ist chapter of Dams!,

he enforced the duties of a religious education, and referred
in stirring and impressive terms to the in.portaoce of pro-

Janie. of giving their mos s good sound religious education

the service the company adjourned to the school-house,
where a short dedication services was said, and the bishop
addressed the boys of the school with singular felicity and

THE LATE LEECH AS AN ARTIST.—It may
be that his artistic vereatili.y is t 3 be traced to the cir-
cumsnoos that be on not regularly trained to art as
Hogarth was. It may sound something like treason to the
rewired canons if we may my that professional
trailing, slight as it was. cramped his genius. Leech, at
any rate. by trying sll branches of art, (mind the net
range of his powers. We are not aware that Hogarth ever
went beyond chanieter•drawing and expression by the Mimeo
figure. Of laodecape he seems to have known little. But
Leech was equally at borne *ben he had to hint the subtle
aeon, the mixed motive. the suppressed emotion, the un-
spoken wittimem io his Peels or his Cobdeos, his
O'Connell. or hi. Disraeli., or when he bad to Canvey the
canow of immeasurable stretches of ocean, or the
depths of a wood, or the lengthening distance of
miles after miles of flat intend scaoery by a few but masterly
lines of the mere lead pencil. Nor was his art at all the
less accurate because Le occasionally reschid even to some-
thing of Turner's sense of space. His horses are as well
defined, and beer witness to as careful study, and es well
satisfy the skilful in horseflesh mud hone points, as those
of Aiken ; and in accurszy of drawing he was not inferior
to the more legitimate disciples of the historical schools.
The only wonder is bow any moo, compelled or induced to
be so prolific, could tied time for his largeness and versa-
tility of study ; cod it could only have bees by the hardest
work that he so seldom repeated himself. and was for so
many years a genial student of life, and its cooceita and
follies, its strength end weakness. But hie soul and
streagth were in his work, and it has been given to few
with the same loving heart to feel, and with the genie
easy hood to transcribe, the powers of scenery, the moun-
tain and flood, the deep equelehy ploughed field., the
Waal. ems of night, the curl of the breaking sea, Or the
dulness of the moor.—Saturday
