FINE ARTS.
THE ART JOURNAL.
o,:tober brings to us in this elegant and intelli-
gent organ of the Fine Arts several brilliant speci-
mens of the art of engraving. Two additional plates
are, as a matter of course, given in further illustration
of the Vernon Gallery. The graver of Challis, emu-
lating the brush of Roberts, has pourtrayed in all its
gorgeousness of architectural beauty the interior of
the "Church cf St. Paul," at Antwerp ; while Allen
has copied most admirably Jones's original' picture of
the " Battle of Borodino." Other embellishments are
given in the number, one of a sculporesque character,
representing Marshall's figure of the " Dancing Girl
Reposing." From the literary contribution of Ralph
Wornum, the historian of art, we transcribe the fol-
lowing sentences in praise of the value and use of
National Galleries :
" The Ares, nt National Gallery, howeier really in-
significant, has certainly not been without great results
to the people generally, bt th directly and indirectly;
Hampton Court Gallery bas likewise been a great source
of public recreation and improvement, as have also the
collections of antiquities of the British Museum. And
sve 11133', perhaps, fairly attribute the unquestionably
greater activity in matters of art in this country during
the last 15 years to the operation, the re-action as it
were, of these very collections, on the nation at large,
legislators and people."
Among a profusion of woodcuts must be particu-
larised Harvey's sketch from the poem of Day, and
One by Fairless from a celebrated description by
James Thomson. Sir Martin Archer Shee is spoken
of in terms of discriminating Praise in an excellent
obituary notice, and prefixed to a memoir of D. 0.
Rill is a charming medallion likeness of the latter
artist. The rest of the number is in a very high
degree commendable.
THE

LIFE AND EPISTLES OF ST. PAUL.
Written conjointly by the Reverend Messrs. How-
son and Conybeare, and illustrated by W. 11. Bart-
tt, this splendid scriptural biography is proceeding
with no diminution of its original great promise to its
completion. The embellishment to the ninth number,
published on the Ist of the present October, is an
exquisite representation of Athens, giving the city
and its surrounding landscape. To appreciate the
value of the work it must be remembered that besides
the letter-press contributed by its reverend editors,
and the plates transcribed from the original drawings
of the principal artist, it will be embellished yet more
by maps, charts, and coins in abundance. We observe
that, by publishing a larger portion monthly, the serial
Will be brought to a close more speedily than was
at first intended. The subscribers will he of course
highly gratified by this judicious arrangement.

PENNY MAPS.
A third part of this extraordinary serial—including
Maps of France, the British Isles, Sweden, and Nor-
way—confirms our admiration for it as a marvel of
cheapness.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.
MONDAY.
All the plates and stakes having filled, it became
necessary to commence racing to-day at hale-past twelve,
and as the special train, by which a considerable number
of the speculative classes came down, arrived behind its
time, the business transacted before going to the heath
was limited. The following were the last prices:—

The T.Y.C. Plate obtaining one more than the requi-
site number of entries, was divided into two classes, the
bill of fare thus embracing no less than nine events,
only one of which failed to produce a race—a promising
commencement of a week that, should the present season-
able weather continue, is likely to be fully up to the
average. We have only time to add that the attendance
was very good, the ground " capital going," and the
sport as good as it was interesting. The following were
the results:—
