The dinner and wines were in, their usual style of
excellence.—Of the exhibition we can at present only
speak geaer.tlty. The Acadernicians have been rather
liberal of their professional labours. Sir Francis Bour-
geois has sent two pictures ; Sir Wrn. Beechey six ;
Copky, absent fcr a number of years, one ; Dc
Loutherbourg three ; Iktniel four ; Fuseli cue ;
Garvey one ; Howard two ; (Hoppner does not
exhibit) ; Lawroice five ; Northcote eight ; Owen
eight ; the veteran Sanby eight ; Stothard two ; Shee
three ; Turner one; Thomson thaw; Wcasll six ;
Woodford six.; Ward eight ; and last, not least, of
the privileged Corps, Mr. President West, twelye
subjects ! Sculptors and Architects, Members
of the Academy, have also exerted their talents to
advantage, as have most of the Associates and .ica-
tienitcians elect.
Of the productions of artists not Members of the
establishment, we shall have to speak yet y favourably
hereafter, particularly of Singleton, Reinaglo, Wil--
kie, Wilson, &c. &c. The honorary exhibitors h.ive
also distinguished themselves ; but we are sorry to
remark, that Sir George Beaumont is not among
them. Portraits among the pictures are rather too
prevalent ; but upon the whole, the display appears
very respectable, though rather lea numerous than
of late years.
No. I.—Tie ofer of the Crowe to lad, Jane Grey.—
J. S. COPLEY, k. A.—Not becaase the first number
in the catalogue is attached to this picture, or because
• it has from its merits any prior claim to notice ; but
we give it precedence in our remarks as it is the pro-
duction of an artist who has almost as bang been a
strangtr to us as our subscription-money for a print
which .hall be nameless ; we therefore, as a stranger,
hail him .1, right welcome hack to Denmark." The
production b4ore us is not in the best stile of the
pain er there is no grandeur in the design, and the
colouring is glaring and gaudy, without that clear-
ness a•hicit distinguished, as well as we can remember,
" The Sier of Gibraltar," and other works of Mr.
Con. L-r.— the story of the unfortunate Lady Jane is
however faithfiilly told front Hu.sE, a whole page
of whose hktory is quoted in the catalogue, by way
of illustration. The ornaments of the apartments,
the di ess of the figures, and the general manage-
ment of the back ground of the picture, are all true
to the costume, and executed with delicacy. The per-
spective, lineal and aerial, is also extremely good.
(To be co-tipued.)
