A Parody on "Hounslow Heath."
Hurrah 1 near Ascot Heath to roam ;
Hurrah for the hoar of sport I
When the swift-limbed coursers sweat and fearr;
And crowds to the race resort.
When thither I go I am sure to view,
Choice fashions in every part ;
And the fame of Mosey would I sing
With hurrah, hurrah for the Mare!
Hurrah, hurrah for the Mar:!

Gay, gay's the scene we witness here,
While rarest of styles combine,
And gentlemen clad for the race appear
In their dress of superfine.
Here ladles come, in their habits clad,
Which a To vely grace impart ;
And which merit applause for E. Moses and Son,
And hurrah, hurrah, for the Mart 1
Hurrah, hurrah for the Mart!
Whene'er you may give this house a call,
The (tresses will please 3 ou well ;
And a moderate price you will pay for all
What Moses and Son may sell.
High prices in trade are cbspised by those
So renowned in every part,
With honour they trade, and they'll do so still,
Then hurrah, hurrah for the Mart !
Hurrah, hurrah for the Mart !

ROYAL ACADEMY EXHIBITION.
We regret, for some reascns, that we shou!cl not
have found leisuse and space for an earlier notice of
this the great exhibition of the year; but we believe
that in other respects advantages arise from the delay;
the feeling of novelty has in this lost its influence, and
our remarks should now be more deliberate and
mature : and deliberate and mature they ought cer-
tainly to be, considering how few and limited they
necessariy are, when compared with the extent of
the subject. e often feel that the works of our
artists have but little justice done them by the press.
These exhibition rooms contain some of the- best
results of at least a 3 ear's work of six or seven bun-.
dred hard working men; and, while not unfre-
quently in the daily papers two or three
columns are devot d to the consideration of one
literary production, a single column written after a
hasty and jostling view of the exhibition on the private
day, too often dismisses the matter. Our weekly and
even monthly contemporaries do very little more with
their better opportunities. The truth is the subject
is overwhelming to us all ; so vast, so sudden, and so
brief in its duration ; and at a time when to many
other subjects and objects of interest are claiming
attention.
This year's exhibition probably manifests a greater
equality of merit than has been seen in any previous
one.; there are many clever pictures, bat there are
very few of great excellence. The progression of
the academy, as observable in the course of
several past sears, seems to be towards a
general and highly respectable mediocrity. And
this would be a result quite in harmony with
the history of all academic institutions hitherto. Yet
with all its short-comings our exhibition is probably
superior to what any other countriiii Europe could
at present produce. The number of oil pictures is
considerably below the average of late years ; partly
because there are several of very large dimensions;
and partly because the dark side of the octagon has
been left uncovered—an arrangement for which the
hanging committee deserve respect and ap-
proval, seeing that they would rather incur
the responsibility of increasing the number
of pictures necessarily rejected, than hang
any in a position in which it would be mockery to say
they could possibly be seen. Speaking generally, the
landscape department is that in which the nearest
approach to excellence is shown; the subject pictures ,
are next best; and in portraiture, for which our
English exhibitions used to be remarkable and cele-
brated, there is a decided inferiority to former years.
The qualities which seem generally to be most in
repute and most sought after by our artists are
cleverness of handling and picturesqueness of arrange-
ment, qualities by no means to be despised, but not
to be put in comparison with the higher require-
ments of correctness of drawing and appropriateness
of conception and expression. In colour there is a
very apparent and painful deficiency : gaudiness
and crudeness, and brightness without brilliancy
are the too general characteristics. The English school
has prided itself on its colour, and in many instances
has exhibited fine arrangements of colour, but in
scarcely one has it shown a comprehension of the
highest and most difficult excellences of colour, those
of quality and tone. Even Reynolds, with his exqui-
site feeling for colour, never realised these as they
are seen in Venetian pictures, and its some of the
finest of the Flemish school. He felt and knew this,
and to the end of his life was un wearying in experi
ment and endeavour for the mastery of them.
Maclise exhibits nothing this year, which is rather
remarkable, but all the other academicians have
contributed snore or less largely ; no one, however, has
sent anything which is likely to increase his previous
reputation,

admirable steadiness ; and Turner, whose best pic-
ture, however, bears internal evidence that it is no very
recent production.. This picture, by Turner, No.
206, is styled " Venus and Adonis," and the con-
ception of it, especially of the landscape background,
poeticalbut oneand

true and exquisite feeling tor colour, and great
mastery of execution. • How admirably painted is
the leash of dogs in the hand of the parting Adonis;
manifesting gran d
they are worthy of the pencil of Veronese ; and the
whole picture is almost worthy Titian him-
self: it is indeed just too like Titian,
and this is a circumstance that somewhat
withholds our admiration, for the landscape
background too strikingly resembles that in Titian's
great picture of Pietro Martini, to leave us at liberty
to give Mr. Turner the full credit of its conception.
His other picture, 81, called " The Wreck Buoy,"
is in his more recent and less intelligible style. It
seems intended to represent a returning calm after a
storm at sea ; and, although when closely viewed, it
may somewhat shock our sense of resemblance to
nature, it is a very different thing when seen from
the opposite side of the room, as we had an opportu-
nity of seeing it the other afternoon. It then con-
veys some feeling of the desolate extent of the path-
less sea, and of its mighty conflict with the powers of
air, which the rainbow of hope has appeared to soothe
and to subdue. It is well worth while to endeavour
to see this picture as we have described, and it is but
justice to Turner to do so.
13. " The Dead Lion," by Landseer, a study we
believe from a lion which died not long ago at the
Zoological Gardens. It is not a very pleasing picture,
but admirably painted ; and the background repre-
sents a worthy solitude for the monarch of the
desert to die in.
196. "The Free Church," by the same, represents
a small section of a Free Church party, which seems
to have assembled in a barn, or some such rude place,
a species of accommodation to which the Free Church
has been'too frequently obliged to resort. The pro-
minence of the three dogs so comfortable in the
foreground and behaving so well, may, however, be
snore generally regarded as indicative of the freeness
of the church. The picture is freely, but admirably
painted, with fine subdued harmony of tone throughout.
The head of the old man is something in the manner
of Rembrandt, and the expression of devotion is
finely given.
72. " Lear disinheriting Cordelia," by Herbert, is
scarcely equal to many of his former productions. It
is very compactly and nicely grouped, and the subject
is pretty fairly expressed ; but wo have heard little
commendation of the picture ; the tone of colour too
much resembles the tnannerof fresco, a style in which
it seems the subject is being painted in the House of
Lords.
117. A coloured study for a fresco in the House of
Lords, by Cope, is a beautiful little composition, well
conceives! and composed, and very carefully studied,
although so small.
23. " Religious Controversy in the time of Louis
XIV.," by Elmer, is a fine picture, well composed,
and very carefully and well painted : in these re-

mical character in the heads, but the action
of the picture is too abstract and untangible to be felt
and understood; the interest of the ribject is of an
intellectual rather than an emotional kind, and there-
fore not well adapted to the capacities of art.'
8. " Henrietta Maria in distress relieved by Car-
dinal de Ritz," by Mr. Egg, is another picture very
nicely composed and well painted, and is a subject
more within the compass of art; but we do not feel
that the dignity of history has been reached, or that
the interest of the subject has been well expressed;
the picture does not rise above the class tableaux de
geure.
43. " Omnia Vanitas," by Mr. Dyce, a Magdalen,
half length figure, with her hand on a skull; it is
very little more than a study, carefully, though not
very well painted, from a rat" her coarse model.
60. " Amoret Chained, by W. Etty. Mr.
Etty exhibits only threeyor four small and unimportant
works, which- show very bad drawing, unpleasing
and sometimes offensive conception, and but little of
that excellence of colour which sometimes redeems,
or helps to redeem, the many imperfections of his
later works.
144. " Helena," by Mr. Eastlake, from " Alls Well
that ends Well," is only a head and bust, the teat of
which seems to be—

ceived, and well composed; the back-ground espe-
cially is rernark7tble for its beauty.
242. " Tim Cup found in Baijamin's Sick," by
Sir William Allan, shows roach experieece and skill
in composition ; the general effect is rather week,
and the figurts want dignity anal nEturalnes4 of
expression ; little Benjemin is rather a spooney and
unheToic youth.
The above•rnentioned pictures are all in the large
east-room, and are almost all of them works aspiring
to the highest class of art, w filch comprises the reli-
gious, historic, and poetic ; and we will briefly allude
to a few of those in the other two large rooms which
have similar pretensions, before we proceed to men-
tion any of the other subject pictures or of the land-
scapes, which will form a happier element for us, and
one in which we will be more able to indulge in com-
mendation and praise.
In the middle room the most remarkable picture
is that by Roberts, of the " Destruction of Jerusaleru
by the Romans." It is a work of very large dimen-
sions and great labour, we believe, also, of much
historical and topographical correctness, as it certainly
is of the greatest interest. We do not, however, feel
justified in saying much of it, for it would require to
be seen and studied more carefully than we have had
au opportunity of studying it, or than we believe to
be possible' under present circumstances. To be
judged of properly, it. should be seen at a greater
distance, and for a greater length of time, than is
possible in a place of such crowded resort ; and in
circumstances more congenial to solemnity and gran-
deur of mental impression, than are those of an ex-
hibition-room.

No. 372. The picture of still larger dimensions,
which hangs on the opposite wall, aad is entitled
" The Destruction of Idolatry in England," by
Mr. G. Patten, is one on which we will also venture
but few remarks. It does not seem to attract great
attention ; but this may be from other causes than
want of merit. For ourselves, we must say we are
not much impressed by its historic character.
306. " A Dance of Nymphs and Satyrs," by Hart,
is au ambitious attempt, not without much cleverness,
at a very difficult subject—a subject which, even in
verse, it requires the highest genius and greatest
refinement of ideality to reconcile us to; and these
are qualities still more necessary in painting, which
aims at a much More material realization, and they
are, we fear, rather awanting here. What a mighty
lapse and difference there is between this picture and
the " Bacchus and Ariadne," by Titian, in the other
end of the building !

311. " Isabella," a subject from Keats' poem, by
J. E. MiDins, a young artist who has exhibited very
few pictures hitherto. This one shows immaturity

in practice and poverty of tone and style, yet it is a
remarkable picture, of great talent, intere.t, and
promiie : quaint and somewhat antiquated in style
and composition, bringing old Chaucer to one's mind,
and displaying great variety and individuality of cha-
racter in the heads.

357.. "The Awakened Conscience," by Rec!grave,
is weak in execution and crude in colour ; and the
expression of the remorseful sinner is more fear at
some external object than the agony of an inward

In the large west room the numeration commences
with 407, " Wise and Foolish Builders," by G.
Harvey. Although the reality is but child's
play by the sea shorei it- is doubtless.
intended as illustrative of Scripture parable ; whether
a worthy illustration may be somewhat more a matter
of doubt. Mr. Harvey is an artist of much reputation
in Scotland, but his picture is here placed so high
that it is not possible to judge of its merits. The
general effect is pleasing, though rather weak.
439. " Christ bearing the Cross," by W. 11. Darley,
shows much power and grandeur of style.
449. "St. Peter and St. John healing the Sick,"
by Mr. Eddis, b a large and well composed picture,
and there are many goods parts in it; the head of the
mOther is very tine in expression. The general
effect of the picture is it-jut-cc] by the qua:ity of
colour, which is not clear and forcible and historic.

446. "Elizabeth and Mary ; or the Song of the
Virgin," by Mr. Tait, from the lines in St. Luke,
"111 y soul doth magnify the Lotd," is an earnest rind
unobtrusive picture, which in style reminds one of
the early great men, and is painted in a clear and
subdued tone, indicating a true feeling for colour.
The subject is one of the highest n4ture in which
perfect SUMS would be a great achievement. The
figure of Elizabeth is especially remarkable for appro-
priateness of expression and happy realization of
character.

489. "The Outcast of the People," by Herbert
is an illustration of the verse in St. Luke, " The
foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests,
but the Son of Man bath not where to lay his head,"
and is an impressive picture of much simplicity and
earnestness. The time is night, and the Son of Man
is represented in deep contemplation seated on a
rock by the desolate sea shore, atd to the
left, the moon's pale crescent is descending towards
the horizon. We have heard it remarked that the
figure of the Saviour wants dignity and elevation of
character, and there may be some truth in this; yet
the picture is altogether one of high character and
great excellence.

107. " Life's Illusions," " Sic transit gloria mundi,"
by G. F. Watts, is en adventurous production, of
large dimensions, and bold poetic conception, belonging
to the allegorical class, which has been from time to
time essayed by great men, but which no one his
hitherto succeeded in rendering permanently intere:t-
ing. The ardent mailed knight in pursuit of the
phantom bubble, who heeds not the precipice ova.
which he will be hurled at the next plunge, is very
intelligible and impressive ; but we cannot say SO
much fur the female group which is ascending on the
left. There is throughout the work a want of that
pictorial excellence which is especially essential in
works of poetic and allegoric art.
188. " Sir Guyon fighting for the Virtue of Tem-
perance," from the Faerie Queen, by lirwins, is a
picture whose weak, unsatisfactory execution derogates
greatly from its other merits. It is poetically con-

566. " Arthur and 2Egle in the happy Valley," by
Martin, is, like all his works, remarkable and conspi-
cuous from its peculiarities. The cold darkness of hue
which pervades the picture, and the interminable re-
plication of barren rocks, give anything but the idea
of a happy valley.
531. "Morning on the banks of Zurich Lake," by
F. Danby, is a picture truly deserving to rank in:the
highest class : it is admirable; so simple in composi-
tion, so rich in tone, poetic in feeling, and perfect in
execution. No one of our artists displays a truer
feeling for the poetry of nature than does Mr. Danby,
or selects its finestphases with more consummateskill.
With this picture our notice must terminate for the
present, but we hope to take an early opportunity of
returning to the subject.

THE CIIOLERA.-7 be cholera is on the increase in the
liberties of Dublin. There are fourteen cases reported
yesterday, the great majority of which occurred in the
vicinity of Thomas-street. Three of the victims were

They are suppitd to have taken the disease at the wake
of the corpse of a man who had died of it.
Thera have been seven cases of cholera this week
among the soldiers encamped in the Pheenix-park. On
the whole, however, the medical report from that liberty
is favourable.

" June 8, 1849."

On Saturday, the second of these brilliant reunicns
was h•.id iu the Garden of the Society, at Chiswick. The
extreme beauty of the weather attracted a more than
ordinaty gay and fashionable company. It was said
that upwards of ten thousand persons visited the gardens
during the day. In other respects, the exhibition was
an excellent one, and it went cif with great eclat. The
flowers, perhaps because the long rain and inclemency
of the season had so long deprived the eye of all enj•.y-
went of floral beauty, seemed to be more exquisite than
ever, and they cet tainly appeared more numerous. The
g neral character of the show will he gathered from the

REDUCING THE RENTS AND IMPROVING THE
LAND.—The Esrl of Pembroke has, in the most hand-
some manner, r.-turned ten per a=nt. to his numerous
tenants in Wiltshire, on the settlement of their runts to
Michaelmas, 1848, where the condition of the fauns, the
rate of wages paid to the labourers, and the rents, justify
the all•-)wurce ; and /e has intimated big intention of
making abatements of 15 per cent. in 1849; but he has
stipulated that the amount of the returns shall be ex.
p,ndcd in manure, draining, or other improvements on
the farms. His Lordship has also expressed his willing-
ness to adopt a " tenant-right " suited to the estates and
the custom of the country, and to grant leases in such
inetauces %here the capital and skill of the tenant re-
quire them. His Lordship, moreover, has requested his
agent to coneid,r the propriety of basing the future scuts
of the estates upon the average annual value of the pro-
duce of the respective farms, so that, whether ,high or
low prices prevail, the rents would be adjusted to the cir-
cumstances of the times. The Right honourable Siduey
Herbert, M.P., has also declared his intention to adopt
the same liberal arrangements.

COLLIERY EXPLOSIONS.—Another explosion of
fire-damp occurred on Friday last, at the North Elswick
Colliery, near Newcastle-upon-Tyne, but fortunately in
this instance no lives were lost. It appears that about
neon on that day the overman (Mr. Whittaker) and his
assistant were proceeding down the shaft in a cage, with
some wood to rei air a" brattice," and they imprudently
took a naked candle lighted with them. When about
half-way down the shaft the gas exploded at the candle,
and the explosion was heard at the surface. The en-
giaemen instantly reversed the gear, and drew the cage
and men up, and on reaching the " batik" the men were
found to be severely burnt. They got out of the cage,
however, and e sliced home without assistance. Davey
lamps are used in the mine, which is comparatively a
small one; and it shows how reckless of human life the
pitmen generally are, when an " overman," who ought
to have known better than run such risk, ventured into
the mine with an open candle, with the catastrophe at
Hebburn still fresh on his mind. The funerals of those
killed at Hebburn took place on Thursday, and a melee.
choly spectacle it was. Rows of black coffins, prepared
at :he expense of the colliery, were follows d by hundreds
of distressed and bereaved friends; and the solemnity of
the occasion was greatly enhanced by the mournful dirge
which is wually, sung un such occasions is the pit dis-
tricts. An examination of the mine has thrown no fur-
ther light on the cause of the explosion. It was well
ventilated on the furnace system, and no other known
would seem capable of entirely preventing such accidents.
The mine had not been at work from the Saturday to
' the Tuesday morning, but the furnace was It, pt con-
tinually burning, so as to maintain a current of air
through all the workings.
The earthquake, which was so generally felt
within a few miles from Carlisle, was so severe as to re-
move furniture, and to cause the jingling of fire-irons;
the shock lasted several seconds, and was accompanied
(as we stated in our last) by a ncise similar to what
might be produced by some heavy substance rolling over
an uneven surface. The bells were rung in the house of
Mrs. Wilson, of Thistlewood, by the agitation, and the
shock that neighbourhood mai universally felt, and
somewhat alarming.— Carlisle Patriot.
CHAPELS OF EASE IN IRELAND —A Bill has been
hroue-ht into the House of Commons by Mr. Napier and
Mr. "G . A. Hamilton to *nee urage the endowment cf
chapels of ease (in Ireland), and to facilitate the assign-
ment of pastoral districts thereto. It empowers any
person to endow chapels of ease, with the consent of the
Bishop and the incumbent of the parish; the endowed
chapel to b« subject to the provisions of the Chapel of
Ease Act (the 6th end 7th William IV., cap. 31). The
incumbent of the parish is exempted from all liability to
provide for the maintenance of the minister of such
church or chapel. A portion of glebe lands, with the
assent of the Bishop of the diocese and the Lord
Primate, may be granted as a snorter such church or
ohapel.
It is proposed, we understand, to enclose fifty acres
Of Wimbledon•common, and to form an establishment
for the reception of pauper children from the unions in
the county of Surrey. Although the conduct of the
parish authorities in farming out the children at Mr.
Drouet's proved so fatal, we do not see why this favourite
and picturesque spot to which the inhabitants of the
metropolis resort, not only for air and exercise, but also
for temporary residence after illness, should be selected
for such an establishment, to the great detriment of the
residents, and to the prevention of the enjoyment of the
public It is to no purpose to make parks at Battersea
and Whitechapel if the present commons, only at a short
distance, arc allowed to be partially enclosed, and the
air infected with the diseases to which children are pecu-
liarly liable. We presume the next step will be to enclose
fifty acres of Hampstead-heath for a similar purpcse.

TIIE CUOLERA.,--RAINIIAM, JUNE 9.—At Upper
Il!zinhatn, near Chatham, several cases of cholera have
been reported, 15 of which have terminated fatally, and
live bodies were buried yesterday. The disease first
made its appearance in some cottages in the rear of Mr.
LampArci's, a blacksmith, the whole of which are in-
habited by poor p:ople, with large families. The dis-
ease is suspected to have first broken out by a woman
dying in one of the cottages, which being closed, toge-
ther with the heat of ►he sun, produced a dreadful
stench, and, the I flluvium being inhaled by the inmates,
they fell liotims to the disease, which spread from one
cottage to another. The survivors have all been re-
moved by the parish authorities to a large house, recently
occupied by Mrs. Dodd, deceased, and which is appro-
priated as a hospital. These deaths have occurred within
a few hours after being attacked. The parish authorities
are cleansing out all the cottages, and whitewashing and
fumigating them. At present there are no fresh cases.

agent for the sale of Holloway's Pills and Ointment, at Mel-
bourne, Port Philip, he says, Gratitude obliges me to pub-
lish the great benefit my wife has received from tl.e use of
these unparalleled Pills. We arrived in Melbourne about
nine years ago, when she was attacked with indigestion and
constipa' ion of the bowels, after going to considerable expense
for other medicines without relief, she tried kl,illoway's Pills
and by continuing to take them for a short time, she is per-
fectly cured and is now enjoying the best of health."—Sold by
