DRUB, Y -LANE THEATRE.

Our anticipations as to an overflowing house on the
occasion of Mr. Bunn's benefit, last night, were amply
realised. The boxes presented a dense and glittering
array of fashion, and pit and gallery wore crowded to
suffocation. The opera, the concert, the pas de deux by
Mddlle. Vecchi and M. Durand, and tho farce, in which
the Keeleys achieved an uproarious triumph, all went
off with transcendent éclat. At the close of the opera, a
!nighty and unanimous shout arose demanding the ap-
PQarance of the beneficiare. Mr. Bunn made his ap-
pearance witbi alacrity, in compliance with the call, and
addressed tne audience. He said, " that since he last

LONDON,

SUFFOLKSTREET GALLERY.
On Saturday we attended the private view of the col-
lection for the present season, opened to public inspec-
tion, by the Society of British artiste, on Monday. With-
out recognizing any perceptible improvement in the
general merit of the pictures hero collected together, and
without perzeiteng any remarkable displays of genius
on the part of any °Lie among the contributors, we
nevertheless observed on the walls of the Saffolk-street
Gallery aufficiont merits, and those merits sufficiently
varied, to excite the interest of the intelligent
visitor if they failed to secure his admiration.
Mannerism in many instances, of course, still
reigns triumphant. There are the same invariable
sketches of Hungarian peasantry by Zeitter, with the
clattering sledges, and furciad drivers and the ragged-
coated horses jingling, like Poe's lyric to the perpetual
refrain of " the bells, bells, bells:" this year, however,
happily varied by a graceful and somewhat pretentious
group (23) of " Vineyard Girls," and by an eccentric
representation (330) of " Collard's Pianoforte Factory
on Fire," giving one the notion of a sort of Brum-
magem Pandemonium. There are the same ever•
lasting studies of Spanish life in the streets, by
ITuristonc, after the faanion rendered popular throughout
Europe by the master-hand of Murillo, there are the
mantillas and the muleteers, the ragged urchins and the
ladies, and the water-carriers, and through the whole
catalogue of faces the same undeviating regard to the
charms of an olive-complexion—calling to memory that
couplet of Tom Ingoldeby, which informs the reader of
the Legends that
" Hairy-faced Dick had a swarthy hue,
'Twixt that of gingerbread-nut and a Jew."

.Among the present works of Mr. Hurlstone, however,
there are several unusually meritorious—such as (2,59
the merry watchers on the balcony, bight " St. J?nn s
Eve at Seville," and the picture of (39) the Gituna
" Foretelling to a Spanish Mother the destiny of
her Child,"' not to particularise the,
of
excellences
of (89) the " Arrieros," or of the " Lace-maeerSierra-
Morena," or of the " Aguador of Valencia." Certainly
not less conspicuous among the mannerists than the
foregoing is the most gifted of all animal painters—afte!
Lendseer (always after Leialseer)—Herring. This
season he contributes more than one of his really mar-
vellous farm-yards, with those Own-tinted peacocks,
and soft-feathered ducklings, reminding one of beastly
old Rebellais, and extremely naked looking pigs, uud
horses so glossy with good condition that one longs to
11amts-,'--_--. ler a canter. Besides these, he gives us a small
eicture (33) of an " Arai, his Favourite," the men as
ugly and unoriental is the animal is I_l3 reverse, and
(191) a larger ono of " Creme ell's Soldiers Stab:leg Muir
Horses in Arundel Count]," perhaps his must succes,fal
effort for a considerable time past. Woolmer shows
himself as industrious as ever, though scarcely in a single
instance as felicitous in the revelation of his unquestion-
able abilities. Hi: representation of (9) " The Expul •
sion" is as unhappy an etterept at pictorial poetry es
can well be conceived—our first permit* being as un-
satisfactory in their anatomy, as the where-
abouts of the "flaming seraphim" is incomprehen-
sible. There is an overloading of colours, again,
rather painful to witness in (227 e the portraiture
of " The Bride," as well as in the (326) "Lady in the
Glass Case," the paint protruding in lumps from the
canvass. His best ( ffert for the season is as unques-
tionably (337) " Florence in the time of the Medicis."
The beat picture this year from the hands of Pyne is
(178) his wonderful " Screes on Wsstevater," with the
sudden and startling atmospheric cfftct—the gush of
sunlight half-say down cite mountein side with
the floating mists towards the base end sum-
mit. Mere glimpse though the picture is into
those realms of scenic magnificence, it calls
vary vividly to our rem.- mbrance the various
charms of his " Lake Scenery" iu Cumberland. The
Norwegian views of West are according to custom full
of merit; more especially (243) the one representing a
scene near " Hardanger Fiord." The landscapes of Hod-
dington prove to us, if possible, more exquisite to see
than ever, and we are happily enabled to rejoice again
in the green meads and gorgeous sunsets of Clint, and
the lovely coast-views of Tennant. Hill adorns the
walls of the gallery with a very beautiful rustic group,
as well as with an admirable and ute-like portrait of -° Mrs.
Woolmer, in her Slat year." In (314) the " ',rake of Thun"
there is perceptible a venture on the pathway opened
up by Turner, which, if not speedily forsaken, will bring
disgrace upon yet another head, iu the instance of Mr.
Ltammersley. Yet more intolerable (and to our horror
we have seen the thing praised by one of our contempo-
raries.) is (236), " The Timid Bather," by Mr. Mug-
ford, the said Timid Bather being a most wonderful
specimen of long-legged ungainliness. Most wonderful
of all wonderful things to us, in the annals of the
Society of British Artists, is the popularity evi-
dently enjoyed by Mr. Anthony—every one of
his pictures, big and little, at once finding
a purchaser ; the magical " green ticket
SOLD glittering in the corner of each individual speci-
men. That his landscapes are admired it were ridi-
culous to deny. They are bought—that is proof suffi-
cient. Yet to our taste, we can conceive none more
disagreeable to the eye from their hardness, the abrupt
inteiminglings of lights and shadows, and their micros-
copic, their painfully microscopic minuteness—a minute-
ness descending to the particularity of each separate leaf
on trees the most umbrageous. Still—though
intolerable to ourselves, and we believe to others
also, these pictures, such as (230) the " Ferry
Twilight," or, as his largest work this
season (200), " The Village Bridal," are SOLD, and Mr.
Anthony of course, like a wise man, takes new energy
in his path at the encouragement. A variety of other
contributions of various excellence from the easels of
Allen, of Dicksee, of Shayer, of Baxter, Pidding, Free-
the &0., are distributed through the difforeut apart-
ments—Williams displaying considerable skill as a por-
trait painter, and the Duffields excelling marvellcualy
with their fruit pieces. A few meritorious water colours
and one or two specimens of sculpture complete the col-
lection. Among the distinguished visitors attending the
private view were, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the
Marquis of Winchester, Lord J. Russell; Earls Grey, St.
Jermyn, Sheffield, Clanwilliam, Fitshardinge, Lovelace;
