eyes that cannot reed, and his three female figure
called " Reposing aPrer Bathing " (No. 303) would
never have looked like Theorem's Morro or in.
duced a Damon to herr, sway and play the part of a police-
man at a distance. If Mr. Etty is too undress for our tastes,
it in not Mr. F. Stone we/druid call in to clothe his Magda-
lena. Mr. Stone cnn paint a clever picture ; witness the
only work he has in the present exhibition, " The Approach.
ing Footstep" (No. 38), but he is too fond of the millinery
of his art, and tumid give us Eve in s brocaded *ilk or an
open petticoat. He tells a story well, and colours with truth
and nicnty; bat why will he persht in one ideal beauty, and
brush h, r hair from her temples to the crown of her head.
He has but one SaeAarissa, and that one, unfortunately, not
Weller's. . . . .

The success of Edwin Landseer has been to, great not to in-
duce others to try and imitate his excellences. Two of these
imitators, and two, by-the-bye, of the most suceetsful, have
picturvaiu the present exhibition. One is Mr. J. F. Herring;
the ether W. and 11. Barraud, who make it a kind of joint
toucern. Mr. Herring has " A Straw-yard" (No. 146), and
three horses' heads called " The Frugal Meal" (No. 259),
which pas. at a dialer* for veritable" Edwin's." But they
will not beer inspection—the gi'ding is imitated, and the
mint mark there, but they wont " ring."
Two small pictures by W. Simian (Nos. 2 and 22) will
repay inspection. We may ray the same of an "Interior" (No.
2CA) by H. Van Hove, in which the style and mminer
of 1). h. Hooghe, his perspective and effects are imitated
with equal truth sod precision ; tho light on the staircase
is beautifully expremed. Mr. Wingfield has several exteriors
of Hampton Court in Queen Aaae's time carefully ela-
borated, but cold and harsh. Mr. Joy, a Dorothea bathing
er feet (Lately etinal to his former efforts) ; Mr. Holland,
a " View in Venice " (clever and broadly treated); Mr.
Lance, his usual number of excellent fruit pieces, and Mr.
Sant, a personification of " Morning
It to the lark, the herald of the morn
conceived with taste, and not by any means indifferent in
execution.

The British Institution exhibition has more of novelty to
recommend it than it has usually had. It was once the
custom to exhibit the unsold pictures of the last year's Royal
Academy exhibition, and the line of sight was crowded with
pictures seta before. This has recently been altered; and
almost all the pictures, if not all indeed, composing the pre.
sent exhibition, will be found new to London sight-seers.
