" The business of the Assessed Taxes is growing daily
more serious."
" On Monday there was also a great meeting at the
Red Lon Inn, in Westminster."
" Mr. Farren, the Secretary, said, &c. &c. &c.
" Who Mr. Farren is, is a matter of some speculation;
and we think it right to say, that we consider it incum-
bent upon a Gentleman who has lately appeared much
before the public—not on the stage—but in pamphlets and
at Court, to put an end to a rumour that he is the indivi-
dual thus distinguishing himself."
The above paragraphs having appeared in the John Bull
of Sunday last, I deem it imperative on me not only to
disclaim being th., Mr. Farren who spoke on the occasion
alluded to (and with whom I am wholly unacquainted),
but also to declare that I should think it incompatible with
the station I fill to attend a political meeting of any
description.

THE ANNUALS.

LANDSCAPE ANNUAL.

" One swallow does not make a summer'd
or we should suppose, by the appearance
the one now before us, that the Annual sew
was just about to set in " with its usual,Ase;
verity."* But the Landscape has burst ;0
being a little before its time. It is a sel,4
months', instead of a nine-months' infant.
vertheless, it is a lusty bantling ; full of life, al:,
grace, and beauty. The illustrations are oven
six in number, and in point of excelleneeo
engraving are so nearly equal, that it is dOcry
to discriminate between them. The art is ,s,
mited one, and gives but little scope for critic
What we say of the illustrations of one Annlisto
applies, with scarcely two exceptions, to
whole graceful fraternity. " Mont Ferft;
engraved by Fisher, from a painting by ilar°4l
is chiefly remarkable for the bustle and giro
air that pervades it. The main street of
homely village, with the market wage to
the foreground—the fruit-basket lying in
road--the busy labourers unloading-10i°,
group of old women are discussing, no de
market prices in a corner, remind us of 01:01
Gainsborough's landscapes. The fore-short
cart in the distance, just about to turn
corner of the street, is finely imagined. " Le ri

is a delightful sylvan landscape, where the sv
lime and beautiful shake hands in graceful fen
ship. This, however, is the painter's praise;fid
engraving is harsh, and stiff, and wiry. ".':g
teau de Villeneuve" is finished with remervj
neatness and elegance. The scene is a luxlv.;
one, and the engraver (Cousen) has do;
justice. " Lyons" is one of the most Pso,
resque views we ever saw of this celellnic
city. The painter has been happy in his Croy
