• BRITISH INSTITUTION.—On Saturday last the
private view of Pictures closed at the Gallery in Pill
Mall. The Pictures consisted of some very line
originals by GUIDO, POUSSIN, CORREGGio, VAN'
DYKE, CLAUDE, PAUL VERONESE, and other distill"
guishvd Masters, which the Noblemen and Gentle-
men to whom they respectively belong had se"
to alb Institution, for the purpose of allowing the
rising generat'on of Artists to copy, under certaid -
limitations. None of the pictures were to be copi"d
entirely, as hereafter the authenticity of the origi-
nals might be brought into dispute. It is but Ps'
lice to the young Artists who exerted themselves oil.
this occasion to say, that they displayed great ability.
in copying these tine works, as well as taste in se'
lecting the parts which they severally itnitated.---
Some of them extracted the leading features of di('
ferent pictures, and combined them judiciously int°
a new and pleasing whole. The Artists who chiefly
distinguislied themselves on this occasion were
Messrs. •TANOCIK, CLATER, HOFLAND, KING'
Miss JACKSON, Miss SINGLETON, BALL, ELTON, • ,
DIXON, CItEGAN, BOADEN (the son of Mr. BoAn"'
a Gentleman well known hi the literary world), and
several other juvenile candidates for tame, wil°se
names we do not recollect at present, but who Ne
doubt not will hereafter exalt themselves into notice,
by compositions of original merit.—This mode of
training the talents of young Artists by the example
of the most celebrated works of the old Masters, to.
which they could other Wise probably have had nO
access, was first systematically adopted at the British •
Institution, which, with the liberal encourageme"
. it otherwise holds forth, is likely to be productive of
the greatest advantage in the improvement of na.,
[tonal taste and genius.
The military amateurs who have opened a private
theatre at Canterbury, continue their performance''
