ROYAL ACADEMY EXHIBITION.

(Continued from the last Notice.)
275. " The Eve of tho Battle of Edge-hill." C. Land-
seer, R.A. Elect. " King Charles I. is said to have taken
refreshment, and to have slept, with the two Princes, at
a cottage in Radway, between which place and Kineton
was the field of battle. The principal group is intended
to represent a council of war, including portraits of King
Charles 1., the Earl of Liudesay, General Prince
Rupert, who commanded the horse, Sir Jacob Astley, the
Lord Bernard Stuart, and Sir Edward Verney, who car-
ried the King's standard. On the left are the two
Princes, Charles and James."—See Clarendon. The
grouping and colouring of this picture are excellent, but
the principal figure, that of Charles L, is too theatrical.
It is a gentleman acting Charles 1., who has made up
the character admirably, not Charles I. himself. It
lacks that sweet and melancholy expression which
Vandyke has given to the features of this unhappy mo-
narch, and which, whether correctly or not, is insepara-
bly associated with our ideas of the Martyr Monarch.

292. " Scene in Lord Chesterfield's Ante•rooro, &c."
E. M. Ward. " Seven years, my lord, have now past,
since I waited in your outward rooms, or was repulsed
from your door ; during which time I have been push-
ing on my work through difficulties of which it is useless
to complain, and have brought it, at last, to the verge of
publication, without one act of assistance, one word of
encouragement, or one smile of favour. Such treatment
I did not expect, for I never had a patron before."—Bos-
well's Life of Johnson. Is a picture not unworthy the
pencil of Hogarth himself. The solidity (we had almost
written stolidity) of the great lexicographer contrasts ad-
mirably with the frivolity of the crowd of parasites by
whom he is surrounded. There is a figure of a black in-
troduced, which is quite Hogarthian.
304. " Commodore Nelson boarding the San Nicolas,
at the Battle of St. Vincent," by Sir W. Allen, RA.,
should be purchased by Government, and placed in
Greenwich Hospital.
325. " Sabrina," W. E. Frost, is one of the most
beautiful and really classical pictures of the exhibition.
The moment illustrated is that in which Sabrina
" Commended her fair innocence to the flood,
That stayed her flight with his cross-flowing course.
The water-nymphs, that in the bottom played,
Held up their pearled wrists and took her in,
Bearing her straight to aged Nereus' Hall."
The grouping of the water-nymphs is graceful exceed-
ingly. The colouring, too, is fine ; and, taken as a
whole, this picture is a gem.
405. " Jerusalem, from the Mount of Olives," D. Ro-
berts, R.A. A splendid Oriental landscape.
444. " Mr. Robertson's Little Wonder winning the
Derby, in the year 1840," A. Cooper, R.A. A vivid
and faithful representation of one of the most interest-
ing events in the sporting world.
460. " The Judgment of Adam and Eve," and 610.
" The Fall of Man," J. Martin. These are companion
pictures, and pictures which can at once be recognised
as from the easel of Martin. There is the same subli-
mity of conception—the same expression of vastness—
the same grand features of the landscape, which distin-
guish all the compositions of this great artist, and there
is also the same faulty treatment of the figures. They
are thoroughly Martinesque, in every sense of the word.
540. " The United Service," A. Morton. An inte-
resting picture in the early style of Wilkie, representing
the Chelsea pensioners' visit to their friends at Greenwich.
The value of the picture is enhanced by the fact, that
the figures are all portraits of veterans domiciled in the
two hospitals.
777. " Harleeh Castle, North Wales," W. Bennett.
This is an excellent drawing of a most romantic scene.
Tho atmospheric effects in this picture are very beautiful.
825. " The Christening of his Royal Highness the
Prince of Wales, in St. George's Chapel, Windsor,"
painted on ivory, Sir W. J. Newton. One of the most
richly-coloured, elaborately-drawn specimens of painting
upon ivory ever exhibited. It is really a gorgeous draw-
ing, and looks like one of the richest illustrations of an
ancient illuminated missal.

859. " Love Awakening," &c. P. S. Tait.
" Hush 1 hush I' said Venus ; no other
Sweet voice but his own is worthy to wake him.'
Dreaming of music, he slumbered the while,
Till faint from his lips a soft melody broke,
And Venus, enchanted, looked on with a smile,
While Love to his own sweet singing awoke."—Moore

This is a beautiful picture by an artist with whose
name we have been hitherto unacquainted, but it is a
picture of very great promise. We use the word artist
in this instance advisedly, for this picture is evidently
the work of one who has studied art in the school of the
Italian Masters, and has become thoroughly imbued with
their spirit. The tone and colouring of this picture is
very fine, and the grouping is exquisite. We shall ex-
pect great things hereafter from Mr. R. S. Tait. Imme-
diately opposite Mr. Tait's picture we have-
-1,029. " The Favourite." J. King. A girl fondling a
dog. This likewise is the production of a true artist.
The expression of the girl's features is very good—the
drawing is beautiful, and there is great ease and grace-
fulness displayed in the general management of the sub-
ject.
In looking at the architectural drawings it is im-
possible not to be struck with the re-action which has
taken place in the public taste in favour of gothic archi-
tecture. The specimens of gothic in this portion of the
exhibition were, in former years, few and far between,
the Grecian and Palladian styles then bore undisputed
sway. The reign, however, of the Gothic and Tudor ar-
chitecture seems now, however, to have returned, and
among the architectural drawings in this style, one of the
most beautiful is—

1,129. " View of the Garden Front at Ingress,
the seat of James Harmer, Esq., Greenhithe, Kent,
erected from the designs and under the superintendence
of C. Moreing," an architectural drawing of the garden
front of the Palatial Gothic residence of Mr. Harmer, at
Greenhithe.
We now go to the sculpture-room, and occupying the
centre of the room we find 1,339. " A bust of Louis
Philippe." J. E. Jones. A faithful and accurate
portrait bust of the most astute of modern monarchs,and,
as a work of art, worthy the spot which it occupies in
the exhibition-room—the place of Chantrey.
1,327. "Statue, in marble, of a Nymph preparing for
the Bath," E. 13. Bally, 8.A., is one of those beautifully
graceful female figures which Baily alone, of all living
sculptors, can model.
1,329. " Paul and Virginia," W. C. Marshall, is a
beautifully sculptured group. Paul is bearing Virginia
in his arms, and wading with her across the stream. It
is a human Cupid and Psyche.
1,374. " Marble bust of Professor Wilson," J. Fillans,
is a life-like and characteristic portrait. It is the very
effigy of the renowned Christopher North.
1,382. " Bust, in marble, of a Lady," J. E. Carew, is
one of the finest busts in the colketion. There is an
individuality about the expression of the features which
convinces the spectator that it must be a portrait, while,
as a work of art, it is exquisite. A sweet seriousness
seems to sadden the countenance, as if life had but just
departed, while the fine lofty forehead and angelic mien
betoken a mind of rare sensibility. The ease with which
