,', In our last we remarked nprin the rich Land-
' scapes of Turner, and the delicious View by Call-
' cott.: It
,is not ea,to meotion tniother name,
awl' ion descend front t!le height of ettlogy.to its
middle phrases :, yet Ca:re are some Pictures in
this Exhibition; the mention of which may well
he accompanied by terms of the topmost praise,
and among these the very first is the proem sub-
Jett. No eye, hOwever unpractised, can pass over
the room in which it is placed without beinir
sistibly• seized, and testing nipon it. '1 be soul of
painting COMirkiloitS its entire romposititot,
which ism sublime as the dreadtul scene described,
when the course of nature was .oispetoled it, fa-
vour of a slaughtering army, and divine wrath and
human vengetture coat hinVil to add horror'to the
work of desolation. The conception o this Pic-
titre is extremely grand, and criticism itself mast
acknowledge that few productions of ancient 'or
Modern times display a higher power 4)1
tint) and creative intellig4 nee. The execution, is
also very tine. The destructive hail kith which
time Lord is discomfiting the A:nitrites is awfdlly
_giseu in the di,tanye, anti the wiodlog of file
Israelites down the hill to Beth-boron is admir-
ably pietoresque in the fore-ground. The mira-
culous pheliomenon, the main prineil.le of the piece,
j 5 also distiuguished by pecuthr features, so,a: to
impress the mind of the beholder at once. With the
truth that be is not contemplating a common as-
pect:of the lamp of day, but it supernatural and
portentous appearance.
Having said so notch, we shall not look for
a Single blemish in this excellent work. The
Artist's name we are sure can never appear in an-
other catalogue without the addenda of academic
honours to which it has so undeniably entitled
him. On any such honours his genius 'will 're-'
fleet honour, and the British School boast a
splendid accession in the vigour, fancy, and fire' of
his captivating pencil.

The first a mere- sketch; the last. a ehartning
view of these celebrated and romantic ruins. Mr.
Wilion is another of the At tists whom the scenery
of Scotland has inspired, and who depiets,Opon
the canvas in all their native tint 4, such scenes tis
Thomson, Scott, and Canipbell have delighted tai
paint in the full glow of poetic numbers. As a
distinct representation of building without the
softening U4ldii hrldselipe, we have rarely
seen any thing more interesting th::n Lindisfarne
—magnificent in decay, and surrendering the mind
to those sentiments which are so 'pleasing, and so
difficult to define. Under the feeling touch of Mr.
'ilson, the stthject has lost none of its higher
impressions, but is entitled to the rank and esti.
Illation we have assigned to it in this Review of
the year.
