TAE ART,..—NORTTICOTE his added to his high
rerliation by an admirable Portrait of the present -'
B'shoQ of SALISBURY. It is a very correct likeness,
and is throughout painted with great vigour and •
spirit. The Episcopal ensignia are well disposed,-,
and the attitude is dignified without formality. He
has been equally successful in a Portrait of Earl
COWPER, in his costume as a Peer. The colouring
i 3 peculiarly chaste, and the whole is a masterly
composition. Both of these pictures do honour
to the modern school. This artist has also made a
very promising progress in a Portrait of Sir CurARLEs ,
IlittsnAwP., in the aa of taking CuttacoA, an
achievement that-places his name-high in the rank ;
of British Heroes. The gallant Officer is to be re-
PieSElltztd as heading his intrepid band of Tars, and
the pi;-,ture is likely to be worthy or the glorious ac-
fiun which it is intended to %cord. The Artist, like
his great predecessor, RUBENS, does not think the
'lnferior animals beneath his pencil, and he has made
two excellent Fietiires of Dogs, one belonging to
Lady Dvsmr, and the other to Str PAILLte
1,:ox. We ought so:oe time- ago to have mentioned
an admirable picture by another Artist, who unites
various provinces, and is very successful in all. We
mean WARD, who lately paititeda velure for Lord
GRENVILLE, of a favourite Greyhound, which the.
Artist introduced five times on the same canvass, and
varied the attitudes with so much judgment and
taste, as to form a very pleasing granny. Nothing
could be more spirited of the kind, and the picture-
altogether does great credit to the ingenious Artist.
Coo has made a second visit to Edinburgh this
3f'ason, where he pert-firmed Shylock and Sir sirchy
on Wednesday last. 'His engagement was to con-

The Richmond Manager has wisely strengthened
