THE FINE ARTS.

On Saturday, Mr. WAnn'S Grand Allegorical
Picture was submitted to the private view of his
friends. The subject is the Battle of Waterloo,
or rather its glorious result, and the work repre-
sents the Triumph of Justice over the Demons of
Evil, under the victorious rims of the Duke of
WELLINGTON, in the car of Britannia. The variety
of objects which the work displays, precludes
any elaborate notice of it at present, and we have
only room to add, that it is conceived with poeti-
cal spirit, and executed with all the vigour and
skill for which the Artist is distinguished.
WATER CoLouas.—The Society of Painters
in Water Colours also gratified their friends with
a private view of their exhibition on Saturday last.
It seemed to be the universal opinion, that in
point of, general merit it was superior
to any former exhibition of the same kind.
COPLE Y FIELDING, BARRETT, VABLEY, CHRIS-
TALL, PRO UT, ROBSON, PUGIN, STEPHANOPP,
SMITH, and indeed all the higher Professors of
this province of art, have not only maintained
their credit, but have excelled 41 their former
works. We much regret that we have not room to
detail the merits of this beautiful Exhibition, but
they will speak for themselves in "the opinion 'of`
all persons; of taste and judgment, and they
form an essential .addition to. the more refined
amusements of the Metropolis.
EG YPTIA TOMB.—The celebrated traveller,
BELZONI, also opened his extraordinary specimeii
of ancient Egyptian art on Friday and Saturday
last, for a private view. It affords as completera
representation of the subject, as could possibly be
made on a red uced'scale. The art of Painting was
in a low state when this tomb was erected, or, we
!pay rather say, excavated, but it forms a very in-
teresting spectacle, and derives all the illustration
which the Ingenious, persevering, and indefati-
gable Traveller could' obtain. 'The Duke of
SUSSEX, and several.distinguished visitm, attend-
ed the private Exhibition, and manifested much
pleasure at the sight of such an assemblage of
ancient curiosities.

'Twas sober eve, when now: the lovely maid
Inlemely silent -contemplation stray'd,
And-lightly gliding the dim groves betiveen,
She looled,:she was the goddess of the scene;
When lo! 'alas, a melancholy gloom :
Seeded the sad presage of some woe to come.
The landscape now in darker hue was drest,
As thus she spoke the feelings of her breast—
" Ah me ! what new forebodings-shake my soul.,
" What new suspicions through my bosoM roll;
" Oh, that my Royal Henry now was near
" To check the tumult of each rising fear—
" And sure L-he comes—or did the zephyr rove
• " I;"ith sudden- rudenes* through this gloomy grove."
Behold, advancing through the path, is seen • •
A form of awful, but majestic mien !
Chilness and-trembling shake the fair one's frame;
Faintly she whispers Eleanor's name;
As on the,form- she.quickly turns her eye,
Her linibs give-way; and yield the pow'r to fly.
Thus. in the frenzy of a sick man's night,
What horrid forms his weaken'd senses fright;
His fear-bound tvigue ean raise no feeble cry, .
His straighten'd jbints their aid to flee deny.
So hapless Rosamond, compell'd to wait
Thea,narelenting mistress of her fate ;,
Like charmed maid, in Spell-bound region, stood,
As her stern foe came slowly from the whod.
Fierce was the look the angry- Princess Wore,
.And in herhand a poison'd bowl she -bore. •
Her scowling brow, her stern vindictive mien,
Show'd all the vengeance of an angry Queen ;
While her dark eyes ihrWiniming malice roll,
She speaks the gloomy purpose of her soul
" And have I found the worn-an who can dare
:" With me the Royal Henry's love to share
" Such bOld presumption claims thy forfeit breath—.
" Behold me now thus doubly arm'd with death !
" ChuSe which thou wilt—to drench thy guilty soul
" In the dark liquor of this deadly bowl,

" And wash thy penance, in a crimson ffood."

Lies clench'd upon the scarcely heaving breast ;
Oblivion's shades, o'er all her senses creep, • •
And death receives her in a placid sleep.
Long Math she slept, and long the silent tomb

Vet oft at. eve green Woodstock's bow'rs among,
Between each pause of Philomela"s song,
The wand'ring peasant heard, or seemed to hear
Soft strains of music melt upon his ear ;
And thought, amid the dusk light of the eve,
Ile heard fond spirits for the maiden grieve
And oft, 'tis said, such plaintive notes as these
Still some lone swain, or love-lorn maidenplease—,
