FINE ARTS.

...,

BRITISH INSTITUTION (THIS DAY)
the
pictures were this morning favoured with a private view of te,e.
pictures at this Exhibition, which will be opened to the public
on Monday. There are many able paintings in this collet'
tion, and some few very mediocre. We regret that among
the indifferent ones we must mention
58. The Burning of the Houses of Lords and Coo;
mons. This is by Turner, but it is in his most negligent All
capricious mood. The eye is offended by the wanton glare °f
bright blue and yellow of which the painting is excluslcei
made up. As for nice discrimination, or anything like nater
in it, there is not an atom. It is as bad as the " Jessica," pith
e
which Mr. Turner shocked his admirers some years since, a,
the Exhibition of the Royal Academy.
73. The Sleeping Blood-hound. Incomparably. the
finest painting in the gallery. Landseer is the artist red
whom we are indebted for this gem. It is in his most sFirite
and careful manner. Nothing can be more life-like than t!le
expression of subdued ferocity which he has thrown into the
countenance of the sleeping animal. The colouring, too, °,l
the hair is as skilfully managed as we see it in Paul Potter'
bulls. In point of perfect naturalness, we know of no model
artist who can compete with Landseer.
96. Old Buildings on the Darro, Granada. 1). Robe ts'
A picturesque landscape well-handled.
179. Rouen. Morning. C. R. Stanley. The dim, visq
look of the day-break is justly expressed in this palutte:„gi
The city is seen, as it were, through a thin veil of vapor, Iv'',
hangs about the summits of the old cathedral, and gives a The
dued tone to the gleaming, silvery river that flows beneath.
perfect repose and quiet of the landscape are delightful. ..t,
320. The Fisher Boy. W. Kidd. A bold, homely pa.
ing, the production of an artist, who is an imitator, but not
servile one, of Wilkie.
363. St. Edward's Chapel, Westminster Abbey. Jal
Holland. The best part of this production is a little bit
perspective caught through a half-open door, which is wrong'
up in a very artist like fashion.
371. Robinson Crusoe instructing his man Fridat;
A. Fraser. The countenance of the toil-worn, adventaV
traveller, " qui mores hominum multorum vidit, et urbes,
highly characteristic. Defoe would have acknowledged t
force and truth of this illustration of his finest and 0011
lasting work.
396. The Cardinal. W. Etty.—A head of a Rembra°
character, painted evidently with consummate care.
414. View near St. Aubin, Jersey. S. Bendixen.-The
is a pleasing production, of which the back ground forms f"
best portion.
431. Reading the Scriptures. T. Webster.—The 11
t.
titude of the young girl who, overpowered by sleep, ~0
drooped her head over the Bible at midnight, is remari
able for its ease and freedom. The colouring of the painft4
is chaste and effective.
451. Fairies. G. T. Parris.—A poetic subject, treated
a worthy spirit. The colouring, however, is a little W.
travagant.
505. View of Caerphilly Castle, South Wales, front 1111
upper part of the Town. Tholes Fielding.—There is 6,14,0
expanse of foreground in this painting, which is well filled
with groups of cattle and the human figure. The picture
a faithful representation of the scene.

STEEPLE CHA CE AT ABERGAVENISTr.
A Sweepstakes of 5 sovs. each, 12st. each ; Gentledg
riders, the distance between three and four miles, and °0.,11
ground, which, without being very heavy, was varied Wlre
•/
ploughed fields and came off on Tuesday. The fences Red
somewhat ugly, but jumpable. The result was as follows
Lieut. St. George's ch. g. Redman Owner 1
Mr. Peyton's gr. g. Frolic ... Mr. Peyton 9
Mr. Bradley's b. in. Cremona
The following also started, but were not placed:--

Mr. C. Stretton's b. g. Reckless__ Owner. 1,0
One subscriber did not name. For two miles ands ~.0
they kept well together, when Cremona, Frolic., and Rel.„`",o
singled themselves out, the two former leading, and Redd
on on the waiting order. Within two fences of the finishg,'":lo)l
and condition began to tell, and a thoroughbred one (Ron)!
by pace choked off his opponents and wen easily. It so°oo
be added, however, that Frolic refused the last fence but leg
and thus destroyed his chance, which many think was till ni
a very good one. Cremona was ridden admirably, but oro
not live out the pace. Redman is Irish-bred, and half-bred
Captain Lamb's celebrated horse Vivian. The other horses...)
the race are all of high character in the neighbourhood, d
their riders are all accustomed to this hazardous descriptiono
sport. The affair was got up by the Officers of the log
Lancers, and under the excellent stewardship of Chi,
Morgan, Esq., M. P., and F. H. Williams, Esq. (who °,g)
ciated also: as umpires), proved highly gratifying to a
fashionable and numerous assemblage.
