Slit-JOSHUA .REYNOLDS;--We. had
_not room
yesterday to give an account of the grand dinuer
which took place on Saturday last, at WILLIS'S
Itooms, in honour of 'the memory of this ,great
Artist. 'All we can 'llo'w say is, that it. was at-
tended by the ,rattqcm .REGKIVIsi and a great won-
ber of the most distinguished characters, point
of rank, fortune, ,and Heats that. the country can
supply, and that it was 'in every respect Yvorthy
of the -occasion-. The toasts and sentiments were
appropriate, and ..drank with respectful delicacy,
'not with the clamour that usually attends public
Meetings.--Yesterday the BRITIBn dALZERY
etintaihS: A considerable outaber of the 'works of
thiS adtifirable Master, in liOnour, Of whom the
Commemoration Pinner took place; was opened
'to the public atlarge, We gave on Vriday a report
of its Opening to a sleet nitmber,of visitors on the
preceding 'day. Since that time ,several pictures
have been added to the,colleetion, and 'we may ven-
ture 'to say, that never was• there an assemblage of
the Works of any individual in any country, how
ever celebrated inthe art

siVe of genius, taste, and those higher excel-
lenc:ies which demonstrate a groat- and superior
mind. lint it was not only in ',grandeur of con-
'ception, so far as the province of portraiture and
pidturesque sohje.cts admit of that quality, but in
depieting,all the softer feelingS of the mind, such
tts internal tendekless, infantile, and rustic sim-
plicity, in characters ,of the grotesque anti hu-
morous kind, as in ~/.)bteic,- and other offsprings'
of inragination,,that he. manifested this 'mighty

tical and. historical province, we need only 'refer
to his Death 'of lido, and llgolino an(l his sons,
the latter, of. which, :in particular, exhibits 'a
dreadful excellence., -which it is impossible to
view without
feelings of the deepest and must
af-

no
lover of country can see this collec,ion with-
