FINDEN'S BYRON BEAUTIES. PART Y.
C. Tilt. London. 1835.

For grace and sweetness of expression, we know not when
we have seen a more charming countenance, than the artist
has here given to " Inez, the Girl of Cadiz," to whom, it
may be remembered, Lord Byron addressed some impas-
sioned stanzas in the first Canto of his " Childe Harold."
The symmetry of the head, and white, swan-like neck is
perfect, and there is a voluptuousness in the languid, full,
black eye that it is perilous for any one but a critic to look
on. Of course the picture is ideal, for in our colder climate,
whatever may be the case in Spain, it is but seldom that a
painter can find such a face to draw from. The engraver
has executed his portion of the task in a style worthy of the
subject. He seems, like Sir Roger Gresley, to have been
" inspired" by it. The small mouth and rounded chin are
handled with extreme delicacy of touch, and the black lace
veil which flows down either side the neck, has a transpa-
rency about it that none but a graver " cunning in his art"
could give. The remaining ideal likenesses afford no sub-
ject for comment, if we except that of Gulnare—the heroine
of the " Corsair"—rhose countenance, though beaming with
expression, is not much to our taste. We dislike ferocious
beauties.

FINDEN'S LANDSCAPE ILLUSTRATIONS
OF THE BIBLE.
J. MURRAY. London. 1835.

The present number consists of four Engravings, of
which the " Ruins of Tyre" is the only one that presents
any claims to attention. The warm, sultry atmosphere of
Africa is well delineated in this sketch, which represents a
vast plain, bounded on the east by a low range of hills, and
in the centre of which, right in the foreground, stand the
massive fragments of what once constituted a mighty com-
mercial city. A few Arabs stretched lazily among the fal-
len columns, with a camel or two grazing in the distance,
just suffice to break the still life of the picture, without di-
vesting it of its forlorn and melancholy character.

FISHER'S LAKE SCENERY.-PART XIX.

The views in this Part are four in number, of which the
two best are those of Rydal Hall from Fox How, and
Grassmere from Loughrigg Fell. The former is a rich,
cheerful landscape, full of all those picturesque effects,
which wood and water, hill and lake, rock and mountain,
when harmoniously massed together, are ever sure to pro-
duce. The sight of the poet Wordsworth's cottage, which
stands on the sunny slope of a hill in the foreground,
greatly heightens the interest of the scene.

MEMORIALS OF OXFORD. PARTS 28, 29.
Parker. Oxford. 1835.

As this work is expressly superintended by Dr. Ingram,
President of Trinity College, with whom it is, no doubt, a
con amore task, we take for granted that it answers the
purposes of all parties interested in it. At any rate, it
deserves to meet with success, for the engravings, though
not first rate, are yet carefully executed, and the literary
explanations display much antiquarian research. We fear,
however, it is growing rather too voluminous for so necessa-
rily restricted a subject, and that the purchasers, by the
time the thirtieth part makes its appearance, will be apt to
exclaim with Childe Harold, " something too much of this.'

RUNAWAY MATCH IN HIGH LIFE.—The

ment from the circumstance of an Englishman having eloped
with the fair daughter of a Scottish Peer. The young lady is
the beautiful Lady A a A r, only daughter of the
Earl of S g (who has recently claimed the title), and
the bridegroom is W e P n, Esq., a person of
good property in Cheshire. The parties were married yester-
day at St. James's by the gentleman's brother, and instantly
departed for Paris.
QUEEN'S THEATRE.—Mrs. Nisbett's benefit on
Monday was a bumper; the boxes were filled with nobility and
persons of fashion. Her bill of fare was highly attractive, and
all went off excellently. The new petite Comedy, called
" The Queen's Jewel," (an excellent title by-the-bye), was
most favourably received. Indeed it is one of the neatest little
pieces we have seen at this theatre ; and, when played for a
few evenings, to allow the performers to get well up in their
parts, it cannot fail to prove highly attractive. It is an adap-
tation from the French by Mr. Collier. We never witnessed
anything finer thanthe dresses of the ladies. Mrs. Nisbett's was
particularly magnificent, and her acting was excellent. We
never saw Elton to half so much advantage at this theatre.
Parry, Miss Vincent, and Miss Mordaunt also deserve favour-
able mention. Such pieces as " The Queen's Jewel" have
long been wanted at this house. It does great credit to the
taste of the managements It will be remittpd tip evening.
