THE ART-UNION OF LONDON.

- - - -
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
Mr. GODWIN continued to read the report.
The engraving due to the subscribers of the present year,
" Jephtha's Daughter," engraved from the painting by
O'Neil, was finished, and would be speedily sent to press.
A series of outline engravings illustrative of
." Gertrude
of Wyoming," would also shortly be distributed, in
addition to the last-mentioned print. For the ensuing year
a pair of engravings, by Mr. C. Rolls and Bfr. F.
Heath, after pictures by Mr. Uwins, R.A., " The
Last Embrace," and "The Neapolitan Wedding" were
nearly completed ; and the Committee had also, with a
view to future arrangements, placed in the hands of Mr.
Lightfoot Mr. Frost's "Sabrina" to be engraved, and they
hail also obtained permission from Mr. Maclise to engrave his
prize cartoon of "The Spirit of Chivalry."—(Cheers.) For
the premium of 5001. offered by the Committee for the
I:.`qt original picture illustrating British history, twenty-
eight
_cartoons had been sent in, and after
due con-
sulerai`ton the Committee decided that the author of the
cartoon " Queen Philippe interceding for the lives of the
Burgesses' of Calais," was best entitled to receive the
commission,. provided he were found competent to execute
the painting... Oe opening the letter accompanying the
car-
toon, the art Will; seen to be Mr. H. C. Sellons, to whom the Committer hat! awarded a premium in 1843, for his
illustrations of " The Pilgrim's Progress." The
painting'
when completed, would engraved for the Society. The
Committee had also arranzOi to engrave in outline reduced
drawings of the following eari`oo7"
Saxon t.
Que n Elizabeth at KbYenAillwr.OrCe"flt by Mr. Zeigler.
" Howard visiting a Prison," Armitage.
" Non Angli fled Angli," by Mr.y G.
"Alfred surrounded by his Family," by Mr Salter.
"The Welcome of the boy, King 'Edward VI." by Mr. E.
Corbould.—(Cheers.)
" The Seizure of Roger Mortimer," by Mr. Noel Paton,
and

" Spencer reading the Faerie Queen to Raleigh," by Mr.
Marshall Claxton.

The Committee, with a view of en coetraging gem-engraving,
had offered premiums of 60L, 301., and 151. for the best
cameos in profile by British-born artists of a head of
Minerva in the collection of bronzes in the British
Museum, to be cut in onyx of not less thizu
two strata, and one inch in length. Eight cameos
were in consequence submitted, and. the committee had the

pleasure of awarding the first- and second premiums respec-
tively, to Miss Elena Pistrucci, tif the Royal Mint, and
Mr. Henry Weigale, of St. Jeanes's-street. The re-
port commented at some ler..gtl t on the proceed-
ings in Parliament respecting tht legality of Art Unions.
The reserved fund was stated to. amount to 1,9461. I`?s.
The amount expended in works of art was 14,7441. 15s. 6d.,
and with other expenses, moue ted to 16,9331. 7s. The
amount set apart for the purchase of works of art was
9,7sol.—(Cheers.) It would be impossible to crowd into
our columns the remarks upon. the present position
of Art Uniots introduced Tinto thir, admirable
report; suffice it, therefore, to sta.';e, that it exhibited in the
clearest manner the short-sightc d policy which would
put down the Association, In der the plea that it
might foster a spirit of gambling. It showed
that much good had arisen from the support given to the
line arts, and the dissemination of admirable, prints at a
price which put them within rea eh of the humblest indi-
viduals.

rch'eehrei:vr!ading of the report IV f 3.9 received with hearty
unanimously.carried ford ll°GL
report be adopted, which having
.; been duly seconded was
NTEAE, in an admit able speech, moved that the
The Duke of CAMBRIDGE begg apologise to the meet-
ing for the delay which he had muss ad considerably beyond
the hour fixed by his being able At_ The fact was, it arose

entirely from his own mistake, far he thought that he was
to take the chair at one o'clock and not at twelve o'clock ;
but the chair had been most ably filled by his Noble Friend,
and he was only sorry to have interrupted him in the con-
tinued exercise of its duties.—(Applause.)
A vote of thanks to the committee and to the honorary
secretaries was then moved, and carried with acclamation.
The drawing was now about to begin, and his Royal
Highness rose to- retire, but before he left the chair, Lord
Monteagle moved a vote of thanks to his Royal Highness,
and expressed the very great obligation the Art-Union and
the promoters had been laid under by the Royal Family in
their patronage of the fine arts, and by his Royal
Highness, both in his place in Parliament, and in his office
as chairman.

His ROYAL HIGHNESS replied, and warmly assured the meet-
ing that he would do all in his power to further the interests
of the Art-Union, and use his utmost influence for its being
permanently legalised and established. He hoped that by
next year they would have got over all the difficulties which
were at present in anticipation.—(Cheers.)
B. B. Cabbell, Esq., was unanimously requested to take the
chair.

Fifty other names were afterwards drawn, to each of which
,as allotted a statuette of Narcissus ; and thirty more, who
were each to receive a silver medal of Sir Christopher Wren.
As it was now approaching close upon the hour when the
theatre was to be given up,
Mr. GoDwIN was sure the meeting would excuse him
for including, at the Chairman's suggesting, three votes in
one motion, which was—that the thanks of the meeting were
.lue to Misses Weigall and Ward, for their services iedraw-
mg ; ti the scrutineers, Major Tory and Mr. Farratt ; and
to Alfred Bunn, Esq., for granting the theatre on that
occasion.

The motion was passed with great acclamation.
The thanks of the meeting were voted to the Chairman,
and the assembly separated.
