FINE ARTS.
THE ART JOURNAL.

Gradually, month after month, the treasures of the
Vernon Gallery are being represented by the e
gravers employed upon this brilliant and enterprising
publication. In the number for April we have copies
from an original historical painting by Ward, and
from an original landscape by Stanfield—the first,
" The Fall of Clarendon," being engraved by Bacon;
the second, " The Schelt, Texel Island," being en-
graved by 'Wallis. In addition to this, we have an
ingenious mechanical engraving of the freize of
the Parthenon, a capital sketch of " The Village
Minstrel," by Goodall, and a drawing, by Fairhol,t,
of " The Tabard Inn," immortalised by Chaucer.
