18U. Portrait of tlu• Lord Bishop of &ilisbzl/2/.
G. DAwc, It. A.

In
Our previous notices of the pretent Exhibition we re-
weinber that we gave the prefeVence to other works of this
Artist; but, on reflection, we arc *disposed to think that this
Portrait of the venerable pillar attic Church is his best effort.
1; he Bishop appears without his gown and cassock, but with

the ensignia of an important office attached to his Diocese.
The Picture is painted wish a firm pencil, and marked by
clear colouring, and well-dispersed breadth of light; the ge-
neral expression is charatteristicof pious tranquillity, suitable
to the dignified station and hallowed calling of the original:
215. Portrait of Mrs. IV. Noel. Sir Wm. BEECHEY,
The natural air which prevails in the best works of this
Artist is evident in the pieAent portrait. It conveys the
happy image of domestic comfort, and good humour, and
ranks among the pictures which every one would wish to
imssess. The general tone of colour is of the same ingratiat-
ing kind.

349. The School Bog. S. LiaummoND, A.
An excellent Study, with great force and natural exprei-

sion.

:Cul.pTtlith,

NG. Model for a Statue to be cast in bronze of the late Right

Hon. Pitt.—R. Wts r.N2A COTT, It. A.

Very creditable to the Sculptor, and fit to adorn a public
situation It is the Statesman in repose. The fisure is easy
and dignified. The attitude and drapery resembling those of
Roman Senators.

053. Model for an Equestrian Statue of his Grace the Duke

of frellingtoh.—G. GA R RA RD, A.

The design of this work iS copiously explained in the Cata-
loue. The Trophy is honourable tts the triumphs of the Ge-
ri. rat and to the zeal of the Artisi.. The resemblance of the
Duke is striking. The coninuinding aii• of his ,sgtire is well
seconded by the'spirited actio►u of the charger on which he is
Mounted. The Pedestal is appropriait. dud in good style.
1063. A Monument to Major-General Sir B. Close, Bart.
J. FLA,WAN, ft. A. -

Simple, correct, and unostentatious.

THE THEATRE.

Lioatiair-LAse.The very difficult part of King
John was resumed last night at this Theatre by
Mr. KEAN, and though he certainly improved
Ton his first representation of it, yet, as we he.
,re obterVed, it does not accord with his peculiar
givers, and, we May add, with his habits, and
figure. Whatever may have been the real
tit any distinguished character in distant
.ues Which History has recorded, particularly a
King or a Hero, the imagination requires a dig-
nified person and manner, and lakiiever high the
intellectual power may be, if the figure has been
cast in a different niotild, the mind wili rich be
tlequately gratified.. Mr. KEA24 rather shines in
detail than in the great ntitlitfe§ i3f a character,
and in giving peculiar 'streilgthand interest to those
:passages which others, who take a wider scope in
the conception of character,. either wholly over-
look in their larger views, or do not consider as
worthy of peculiar attention and emphatic en-
forcement.. Mr. KERN, however, wisely studies
effect, whidi lie knows is better calCulated for a
mixed -audience than the comprehensive scale
which satisfies the reflecting Critic. Hence that
popularity which has evidently been his object,
and Which•he has so successfully acquired.-We
.did not in our fornier report notice the feeling
and judgment displayed by Poili in Hubert. His
performance was •maiked by a title conception of
charactorrand :strongly eicTressed the agonies of a
conscience which wants sufficient rigour to spurn
temptatitn,. t).4t has too much virtue finally to
yield to. it.
