Ilut I feel that it would be a dereliction Of that duty, if, in
compliance with the wishes which you h3ve thought prcper
to express, I Were to withhold theltoyal Sanction from the

tl►e King's Prerogative, as to indicate a wart of consdenve in
a Parliament, which, under di!Eculties the most tr., ing, has,

33. Hubert aml .1171L,cr, Shakespeare's King John, Act 4
Scene 1. G. H. HailLoW.—,This is one of the mot prominent
pictures in the Exhibition, and with Several defects, possesses
merits so striking as to deServequi analysis. Mr. Harlow hat
trated the subject very differently from, NI:. Nortlicote, and
has in our opinion by simplifying improved it. It consists of
only the two principal characters, without the attendant
Murderers. Hubert, is a fine figure of manly strength and
proportions, and is well and solidly painted proof that
the Artist has no excuse of want of powers to plead for the
flimsiness of other parts of his sui.,]eet. The expression of the
countenance is very doubtful ; we could have wished more
of the conflict of the passions, and the remorseful agony
which would accompany the determination of a man who
has just resolved to- rish his own existence, rather than.
execute ' a barbarous mandate. By closing tho eyes, as
it ill profit:and thought, Mr. Barlow has deprived. him-
self of the .fkniest organ of bumen expression.—ln Arthur
he is by no means so successful 'as in Hubert : it. is' the'
shadowy recollection of a figure in Boydeil's Shakespeare,
of the existence of which in his mind the Artist was probably
unconscious. But this, and perhaps a general resemblance
to the style of Mr. Lawrence, as well us something of -Mr.
Young the Performer in the other figure, gives of the whole
' an idea of want of originality, which we are convinced,
his other excellenciei, the Artist might readily have avoided:
The face oil he boy is beautiful, but wants grief andterror.
