GLOUCESTER ELECTION.

(FROM A CORRESPO3DENT.)

The all engrossing subject of negro abolition has occasioned much
excitement here; the friends of the cause care not much which Candi-
date goes up, as both will advocate their views—the immediate emanci-
pation. Since Colonel Webb came into the field, and on hearing his
name mentioned, the Tories looked aghast ; they knew they were secure
had Captain Berkeley been in the field, but the moment he bolted they
began immediately to cry " 'cavy," and endeavoured to make peace with
those friends of the wretched negroes ; but it was too late—they had
been labouring with " Hope" until they despaired, and as soon as
Webb came forward they supoorted him—but at all events they have
gained this point—they have made both converts. The politicians of the
city arc some of them rather sore on losing the Captain ; but the electors
generally would sooner have a Colonel of a band of patriots, than a
Captain, or an Admiral, of a " press gang."
The nomination is now on, and I will give you a short sketch of it
underneath. I understand there are men down from London, called
black veiled men, whom no one know:, and that 150 poor freemen and
others have held back for—gold. So much for purity of election, and
purity of the Hopeful set. The Liberal Association have offered 501.
reward for any case of bribery, and intend starting a Society to prose-
cute any bribery case.
HALF-PAST $ O'CLOCK.—The nomination .is just over—the show of
hands were 10 to lin favour of Colonel Webb. The parties have con.
eluded to wear no colours. The band of music, &c. &c. all came for-
ward without fee or reward, and said they would do anything for Webb.
The contest will be severe. The Tory even at last said he wcw.ld not
pledge himself to abolition, but would act as he believed his friends all
knew he would.

The Mayor, Dr. Maddy (Tory) proposed Hope; Samuel Baker, Esq.,
seconded him.

Robert Canning, Esq., proposed Webb; Meylor, Esq., surgeon,
seconded him.

A certainty is felt that Webb must b 2 returned, if 7001. is not spent.
A close watch is keeping up.

TIIE TEA TRADE, MONDAY.--The deliveries last
week amountel to 329.,9361b5. The arrivals from Canton of the new
crop are becoming heavy, and prices are not quite so firm.
EFFECT OF ItAILROADS.—The railroad recently
opened, has already began to affect very sensibly the interests of the old
road. Last week, we hear, that the whole of Pickford's horses in this
town allro sold, the vans having gone off the road.—Leicester Journal.

ROYAL ACADEMY EXHIBITION.

The present is a very fair average Exhibition, containing
more of variety, we think, than the last, and fewer portraits
" of a gentleman," which few will be found to regret, consi-
sidering how many flat, inexpressive countenances of indivi-
duals for whom the public care not two straws, have hitherto
crowded the walls of the Exhibition-rooms. The landscapes
are numerous, as usual, and many of them excellent ; there
are also some clever historical pictures, and two or three ex-
pressive animal paintings by Landseer. No. 7is a Portrait
of the Countess of Blessington, by Wood. The attitude—we
are unable to speak to the likeness—is natural and uncon-
strained, and the colouring is remarkably chaste. No 21—
The Life's in the Old Dog yet, is by Landseer, and is his
most striking production, at least in the present Exhibition. A
dog and a stag are represented as having fallen headlong from a
precipice, and are both lying crushed On a rough, bleak ledge of
rocks in the fore-ground. Close by them sits the owner, ap-
parently, of the hound, who is clamouring loudly for assist-
ance. The whole scene is wild and romantic to a degree, and
sketched by one who, it is evident, combines the poet's fancy
with the artist's eye. We have seldom seen a more vigorous
or truthful bit of colouring, than that of the dying stag. Even
Paul Potter himself never painted anything more like nature.
No. 8, Portrait of the Bishop of Ripon. This is a picture
finished with the most scrupulous care in all its details. The
likeness is excellent. No. 60 is A Portrait of Queen Victo-
ria presiding at the Council, upon her Accession to the Throne.
Wilkie is the painter of this production, and has been fortu-
nate in catching the expression of her Majesty's countenance.
She is represented.sitting in a chair of state at the head of the
council-table, and is attired in the simplest costume, with few
or none of the appendages of royalty about her. Behind her
chair are ranged the officers of the household, and before her,
at the table, the most illustrious of the Privy Councillors.
Foremost among these, are the King of Hanover and the
Duke of Sussex, the former of whom it is impossible to mis-
take for an instant, so exact and spirited is the likeness in all
its lineaments. The latter is less faithful as a resemblance,
and has besides too studied and theatrical an air. The Duke
of Wellington is a sad failure, and we question much whether
the artist ever produced so complete an abortion. The figure
is on far too large a scale, and the face is too broad and
massive. Mr. Croker's is a better likeness, and that of Sir
Robert Peel may, with some little attention, be recognised.
The disposition of the different groupes in this picture is its
greatest recommendation. No, 62—Portrait of the Queen
seated on her Throne in the House of Lords, is from the
pencil of Hayter, and was executed for the city of London, at
the express command of her Majesty. The resemblance is a
just,'if not a striking, one; and there is much natural ease
and dignity in the -figure. The colouring of the picture is
throughout in perfect keeping with .propriety. No. 70—
Satisfaction. This is a small painting by Buss, and repre-
sents a duel, which has terminated in the death of one of the
parties, who is stretched full-length on the ground. Near the
body lies a hat, from which—and this is a truly pathetic touch
—a letter has fallen out, probably the poor fellow's last appeal
to his wife or mother. The conception of this painting, is
better than the execution, for there is an air of stiffness in
some of the chief figures, and the colouring wears a cold and
formal appearance. No. 122—A1l the World's a Stage is a
representation, by Alulready, of Shakspeare's Seven Ages.
The sketch of the Justice, " with fair, round belly with good
capon lined" is truly characteristic; and so is the lacka-
daisical lover, who is looking at his mistress with an ex-
pression of countenance brimful of sentimentality. The
other figures, with the exception of that pourtraying
" second childishness and mere oblivion" are not defined
with sufficient distinctness. No. 156—Slave Market at Con-
stantinople is a work that the artist, Allan, has evidently long
and diligently studied. The two Turks who are represented
sitting in the fore-ground, are the most effective figures in the
painting. No. 176—Scene on the Rhine is a beautiful little
gem, one of Callcott's most finished productions. It is a
scene of perfect repose ; and the water of the lake-like river,
with the raised terrace-walk on its banks, are coloured with ex-
quisite delicacy. No. 185—The principal characters in the
Merry Wives of Windsor, assembled at the house of Mr.
Page. This clever work of art is by Mr. Leslie. The cha-
racter of Falstaff is well pourtrayed, but a little more joviality
in the expression of the fat knight's face would materially
have improved him. " Sweet Anne Page," and the bashful,
pensive Master Slender—that man " made after supper, of a
cheese-paring"—are each hit off with consummate skill and
nicety. The distant view of Windsor Castle, seen through
the lattice of the inn, is an ingenious bit of perspective. No.
192—Ancient Italy, by Turner, is remarkable for the gor-
geous, but somewhat fantastic, quality of its colouring. There
are many other pictures in the Exhibition which deserve :a
more extended notice than we can just at present afford to be-
stow on them. Maclise has a showy, well-grouped Christmas
piece, full of bustle and incident; Gill, a spirited painting,
entitled " Boys Blowing Bladders ;" Wilkie, a striking picture
of O'Connell; Skottowe, a still more striking likeness of Dr.
Paris ; and Lee, several beautiful English sylvan scenes, two
of which, Waiting for the Ferry, and The Effects of a
Storm, have all the truth and freshness of Constable, without
any of that peculiar spottiness which used to be objected to in
his colouring. We should have noticed the Exhibition long
ere this, but have been prevented by the heavy pressure of
Parliamentary and other matters.
