EXHIBITION OF THE ROYAL ACADEMY.

This splendid exhibition, containing no less than
1,214 works, opened at twelve o'clock this morning,
and was almost instantly after crowded by an im-
mense influx of amateurs, connoisseurs, and would•be
patrons of the Fine Arts. The collection of paint-
ings is, on the whole, an excellent one, and has been
largely contributed to by Sir Thomas Lawrence,
Messrs. Jackson, Mulready,Turner, Pickersgill,Ward,
Jones, Eastlake, and others, whose names alone are
a " tower of strength."
No. 193. A composition taken, from the Paradise
Lost, by Mr. Etty, which the Marquis of Stafford pur-
chased on Saturday for 500 guineas, is well, worthy of that
artist's fame. " The bevy of fair women" dancing to the
sound of "soft amorous ditties," possesses much judicious
grouping ; 'the drapery, too, is managed with consummate
skill, and the countenances of the dancers have (the females
especially) a wanton but not unpleasing expression about
them ; one fine girl, with black eyes, and a full rounded
bosom, her face half-turned towards the spectators, is con-
ceived in the very spirit of valuptuousness: Mr. Etty has
stu.4ied at Rome, Vienna, and Naples, after 'Paul Ve-
ronese, Tinteretto, and Titian, with considerable effect. He
has discarded in some degree the defectiye colouring of
Tinteretto and Paul Veronese, and improved upon the.
drawing of Titian. We many congratulate the public pn
the aCquisition of such a master, who far seven years of his
life was apprenticed to a Printer at Hull.
No. 262. Boccacio relating the Tale Of the Bird Cage.
—This is remarkable only for, the glaring 'defeats of its
light and shade't it is a bad imitation Of Stottiatd'i-group-
log and arrangeinent, and should not hiS.e procieded'from
the same artist who, could rairit' so beautiful a picture aq
No. 60, that of .Dido directihg the Equipment of the
Fleet on the morning of the Carthaginian Empire.
The effect and glow of an eastern sun in this last is
pourtrayed with astonishing fidelity; and to slew the mind
of the artist, nothing is more striking than the daring effect of
the tree which he has raised up amidst that large'mass of light;
to this and the boat floating on the water he Owes chiefly the
rich effect of his picture. The figures are well grouped,
and have a complete atmosphere round them.

No. 340. An attempt to illustrate the opening rtf the
6th Seal. This is .a really magnificent production ; a
daring illusion with respect to style, and strongly calcu-
lated to work upon the imagination. The effect, however,
throughout, is false, and gives the idea (as in scenic trice-
sentations) of the light being cast over a surface through a
coloured glass. Nevertheless, no other man in England
could have painted such a picture.
No. 66. Portrait of Lady Lyndhurst.lli Sir T.
Lawrence,—This is the first and most successful attempt
at painting a complete brunette 'we have yet Seen. To
increase the effect, in opposition to her Ladyship's
artist has attired fii black velvet; the
com-
plexion, the - •
back-ground is still and quiet, and would lead 'the spectator
to conclude that the portrait was the original reflected to
his vision from a looking-glass.
No. 114. Portrait of the Countess Gower and her
daughter.—This is another felicitouS specimen by the
same master.

N 0.153. Portrait of his Grace the Duke of Northumber-
land.—Mr. Phillips has here, in the representation of his
Grace's figure, ventured rather too closely upon the imita-
tion of a sugar-loaf. The portrait is besides mean and in,
significant, and gives but a sorry idea of the representative
of England at the late French Coronation.
No. 298. Portrait of a favourite *Hunter.--Thisjsin
Ward's best style, an.l is the full size, of life. Each indivi-
dual peculiarity of the original figure is strictly preseqeo-
No. 232. Landscape, by Constable.—A rich Mnl'va-
ried piece of colouring, imbued all over with the qualities
of English landscape. A shower has apparently just passed
over, and a few flitting clouds throw their flickering light
and shades over the country.. The gleaming water in the
distance is inimitable.
N 0.454. Portrait of a Tell :CI, by E. Landscer.—Thete
is much expression in this portrait; it is in the anti-room,
where it may perhaps he undeservedly passed over. The
animal is white, and is in the act of pawing a coiled up
hedge-hog.
No. 217. Echo, by G. Arnold.--This is a pretty pic-
ture, exquisitely pencilled, but is tame in effect, and looks
too much like something between 'aft enamel and a tea-
board.

PANORAMA OF GENOA: •

We were admitted on- Saturday to a private view
of this very interesting Panorama—whic.h.fer.Yo;
riety of subject, force of colouring, and accuracy
detail, is the best we have yet seen from Mr. But'
ford.: The view is taken from -the Bay • (neat 'the
Light-hotise), whence the, whae wide sweerpf its
water bursts at once upon spectator., The first
object—and to our eyes the most welcome, because
the most characteristic.—that.arrests the. attention
on entering, is the Moto Anovrt, ou which a fevi
fishermen are lazily lolling, dressed, in .the-,horaelY
but picturesque costume of their class: the ',figure
fronting the spectator, and who is seated crow
legged on-a rude sort of - stone bench at the near Oa
of the Mao, is Very 'ably and naturallY
Beyond the town, at the farther. end, is a vast ope'l
expanse of water, which stretches away into (Lis'
tance, bounded by nothing-4a the hOrizon. Thls
distance is executed with consummate 'skill; the
eye follows it as it were for miles, and might
almost imagine it real. ,On . the opposite side
of the Panorama appears the Lanterta, n-)011/
watch-tOwer, erected 'on -a rock or hill';
a bold and imposing • object, 'and-gives five
relief to the landscape immediately surrounding
it. A little further on is the Ponte della Larder-nth
at the extremity of the mole,. which stands -cons;'
derably forward in front, and is supposed to be the
object nearest the spectator. • An immense quantity
of shipping forms a sort of parallel line to this mole;
the perspective of which, from ite confused nature
must have been a very difficult task to execute sue*
cessfully ; Mr.-Biirford,'however, has grappled with
and overcome the,difficulty. Still further to the *ight
and..creeping. in every direction up-the sides -of tlu
hills,•lending° them an air of vivid ahiniation and.'lll
,
terest, iz situated the body of tne 'city of Genoa
an immense but agreeably diversified cluitei, (31
buildings ; here adorned • with white, sParklink
terraces—there shaded with trees. Among thetn is
the palace in which the late Queen Caroline forentne;
time, and previous to her departure for the-Lake ()-
Como, took up her abode ; it, is close to the sesms
and throws a fine bold shadowinto the water.. In
deed the shade of the: different palaces as it
flickers and-trembles upon the surface of -the wrote,
is one of the most- beautiful: -and delicately painted
objects in the Panorama; and relieves the monotu'
nous appearance of_ an unruffled expanse, of water.
The remaining objects—especially the pleuisture
boat with a silken awning over it, beside which .a than
with a superb figure is stationed—deserve equal at'
tention with those .which we have here,ende3".

COSMORAMA.

This exhibition, which was opened for private
spection on Saturday,presents an entertaining varlet,'
of scenes, and is, we think, an improvement even on
the Diorama. The first view, however
.(Antioc4),
presents little or no novelty ; that one, in particular,
which embraces the City,aad the foreground of whit
is made up chiefly of green fields', intersected' with
quaint, formal-looking hedges, might, if we could
overlook the interference here.- and there of a tell
spiral minaret, be mistaken for an English landscape'
Constantinople (painted by M: Parent) is too distant "
view to excite any particular interest. - The spec,
tator is supposed to look down on the 'city trona °
height, the consequence of which is, that the build'
ings and gardens, mosques, quays, &c. and even the
Bosphorus itself, dwindle into comparative insight'
fieance. The fore-ground is pretty, though, even
that wants character. The 04ward Court. of the
Seraglio gives a good-. idea of the originati it ,°
bold striking piece of colouring. 'T.rini#,,Chapel,
Canterbury Cathedral,' has also the. merit of exact'
ne,,s ; in fact, it almost rivals the atchiteatural Wu'
sions of the Diorama. . The Throne -of the Arch'
bishop's, at the further extremity .of 'the Chle,d
deserves particular praise. Lucerne, in Suritzertwe'!
is a rieh,,.luxuriantlandscapej "there i 4 hotve t'
notwithstanding its beauty, too :trincli'stilflire
it.. The Palace of the Sultana .Hadidge,itietepiete
of colouring, is excellent ; it stretches (close to the
water's edge) for some distance along the Bosphorus,
and presents a striking appearance of splendor.
Interior of bt. Paul's Cathedral.—Th'e idea of site
and vastness is well sustained in this picture; there
is besides a eumbroirt . -magnificence about it °
truly characteristic, 'that
.it cannot fail to be re'
cognised. -Interior of St. Peter's, Route.--411l'
painting is chiefly remarkable for the admirable effect
of its perspective, which stretches along from Pillar
to pillar to en immense distance. ,The shadows, t6°'
columnsthrown from the ponderous 'stone on. the
tesselated pavement, are managed with great 04°9'
