PR ICE 7D.

BRITISH INSTITUTION,

No. 3. " Sabrina," a scene taken from the ",Cornus" of Wil-
ton, is a very rnastarly' painting.
No. 14. " Our Saviour's Agony in the Garden," by G. North-
cote, and the " Entombing- of Christ," by G. WestalL both
Academicians, are on a large scale, and executed with great skill.
No. 46. " The Interior of a Brazilian Rancho, in the province
of Santo Paulo, with a travelling merchant, his slaves, merchan-
dise, &r." by C. Landseer, is remarkable for distinctness of cha-
racter and delicacy of colouring. The grouping is admirably ar-
ranged,,so as to produce the best effect.
No. 47. " The first Interview between the Spaniards and Pe-
ruvians," by Briggs, is a picture of considerable merit. The de-
sign is taken from that part of " Robertson's History of America,"
where lie describes the attempt of the Spaniards to convert the
Inca to the Catholic faith, and make him submit to the King of
Spain. The Inca refusing, a general massacre of the Peruvians
followed. The unsuspecting simplicity of the /nee, and the
treacherous designs of the Spaniards are faithfully depicted in
their countenances.

No. 59. " Catherine and Petruchio," by Stephanoft; the scene
taken from the fourth act of the "Taming of the Shrew," where
Petruchio says, " Nay, good, sweet Kate, be marry," is one of
the hest pictures in the gallery. It is just in conception, and the
execution beautiful. The colouring is also tastefully adapted to
the character of the scene.

No. 74. " Courtship," by E. Wesi, is a beautiful little pic-
ture. It is full of natural expression. •

The "Drinking scene in rierFrieselattz," No. 95, byHoppner,
is well executed. It has a distinctiveness of character which im-
mediately recalls to mind the scene.
"Prometheus chained to the. Rock, and the Vllltnre pouncing
on him," is a picture well worth examination. One fancies that
he sees his efforts to release himself from the rock to which he is
chained. :This picture, No. 140, is by IL Wyatt.
" The Sultan," by Hurlstone, No. 158, realists the form and
expression of countenance which the imagination would satin-ally
give to such a personage. The costume is exact, particularly the
head-dress.

" Short of Cash," No. 180, by Shiels, shows his perception of
character, and his capability of giving it individuality. The ex-
pression of countenance, when nothing is found in the pocket,
and the reluctance to take out the hand to prove its emptiness to
the person of whom he had already made a purchaie, are admira-
bly depicted.
A Landscape, " Sunset," No. 7, by Mrs. H. Reinagle, exhihits
great delicacy of colouring and an agreeable variety of tints.
" The Battle of the Mimkeys" is an amusing picture. It paints
the tricks of these mischievous little animals to the very life.
The artist is Mr. Bristow, and is entitled to great merit, both for
the conception and execution of this picture. It is already sold.
It is not numbered, but is placed in the middle room.
No. 246, " The Sweeps Dancing" is an exquisite little picture.
The amusement of the group of children is admirably expressed.
There is a harmony in colouring and design, combined with a
studious yet unaffected execution, which entitle it to the praise of
excellence. The artist is Mr. Gill, by whom there is another
painting, of nearly the same size, 225, " The Whistle," of con-
siderable, though inferior merit.
" Othello relating his Adventures," 279, is a fine picture.
• Wehave merely selected a few of the most prominent pictures,
and which seemed to us most worthy of notice ; but the whole
collection may be considered as highly creditable to the character
of British artists.
