attitude is neither appropriate nor graceful. The Artist's in-
trolluction of.. the Splendid Bow, shews a confidence in his
knowledge of the proper disposition of colours, and adds to
the brilliancy of the picture. Though the colours are happily
blended, and finely balanced, the greets drapery on the
shoulders of Terror is rather violent, and beavy from the its-
distinettiossof its partS. rht. l-layter's Artistial knowledge is
too powerfully evinced in this Picture, and that of the Spirit-
ed Horse coming from the sea, not to make us hope that it
will he applied to subjectS which will increase his reputation
and be preserved for the interest they excite.—Nu. a
richly coloured deep toned portrait, nut by any means ad-
apted to the character of Cleopatra.—No. a cleably paint-
ed, prettily drawn, uninteresting little Picture of Two Lancers
and their Horses, which in truth, both of colour and out-
line, approach the finer works of Stubbs. •

subject relating to Penelope, carrik s with it to the cultivat-
ed mind the charm of attraction, and the manner in which
Mr—Hilton has felt and delineated this touching incident,
excites a warmer sentiment for that perfect model of female
purity and love. Penelope is depicted as overcome by the
intenseness of her feeling at being assured that she again
beholds Ulysses, a.nd sinking as she attempts to rust/ to his
embrace; this diffieUlt and complicated axo-.-tisn is •tivried
to a point, to which no•bing can al/•either reiniett;mt or
force. The figure and countenance of tilysses is nouie
and expressive, and his costume the result of a
thoriitigh acquaintance with the earliest specimens we pos-
sesi vf the Grecian dress. The kneeling fentle• atten-
dant expretsiom and-bra ut y; • di ride: Pi mr,
lope, and is cf itself a Model of the mingled feelings ot af-
fection And surpriie. The old Eutynome is -akt,that could be
delineated irexpression, both of face and figure. The gene-
ral tone, breadth, and colouring of this beautiful picture, ac-
cords in every respect with the subject, and convinces-us that
it is the production of an Artist Who has added to his native
feeling of barmouy,, the study of the highest masters of. the
Italian. School. Telemachus dues not partake of that heroic
beauty which -would have increased the in-terest of the whole;
and the. drapery in'whith he is mantled appears toms some--
shat heavy; and the females on the extreme right, though.
expressive,. alight ,have had snore variety of attitude, and a
more graceful contour. The drawing is every where firni and
good, and the imicilling free and yet delicate. -This picture
must ever he admired, and will be an ornament to any-collec-
tion in which it may he .placed.

Chatelc:r making known to Merry Queen of Scots his love
for her ;—H. FRADELLE.—We do not remember to have seen
any work of Mr. Fradelie's which can dispute the palm with
this lovely little 'picture. Chalelat was Mary's Secretary, had
accompanied her tions France, and was hurried away by that
passion over which our reason has but little controul, and
which led hint to destruction. Being directed by Mary to
divert her melancholy, he sung an air of his own composition,
which declared to his Royal Mistress that she was the object
of his love; the air is beautiful, and ends thus—
" J'ase Wen ;tinter, mais Je ne Vase pPs le dire."
_

Mary, in an antique Oratory, is listlessly reclining in her
seat, as if touched by the words of the air, and with the sen-
timent they breathed—her hand, in which she holds a volume
sof her favourite Pctrarch, has unconsciously sunk from its
station. On her brow is an expression of tender melancholy,
W;iicit, on being examined,steals into the very soul, sad leaves
an impression which declares that it eannot he surpassed
and we only leave the lovely Mary•to return and bestow on it
fresh admiration. Her dress, her mien, her attitudes all add
to the cha:m,and we fearlessly pronounce it a faultless figure,
which alone would be sufficient to stamp the reputation of
the Artist. Chatelar, who is placed opposite to her, seems
afraid to meet the eye of the object of his adOration ; and
while he sings his'fingers touch the chords °fan instrument
be holds—though his expression. is good, his ,fiNre noble, and
dress e.,,-,propriate, we cannot -compare it, in attitude or
grace, with the figure of the lovely Mary, The hi each!' of
light so happily conducted, and playing-on te rich coverlet
of the table, at which Mary is placed, challenges competition
with any of those plasters whose style hears au affinity
with Mr. Frsidelles, and the clear and deep tone which

A NEW COMET.

(FRoSI THE PARIS PAPERS. RECEIVED LAST NIGHT.)

Mr. NICOLLET, 'Astronomer of the Royal Ob-
servatore, discovered in the. evening of the 21st
instant, a very small Comet, ',emitting a feeble
light, and without any apparent nucleus, but
having a small tail of about half a degree. It is
not visible by the naked eye. Its position was in
the square of Pegasus, near. the star Gamma
in that constellation. The rising of the *moon
prevented him from making very accurate 'obser-
vations. At 8 hours, 16. min. 15 sec. 'of mean
time, it had 0 deg. 36. min. 29 sec. of right ascen-
sion ; and 16 deg. 59 min. 36. sec. of Boreal de-
clension.
