PANORAMA OF RIO JANEIRO.

We have been favoured with a private view of this very
impressive Panorama, which we have no hesitation in pro..
nouncing as decidedly the best that Mr. Burford has yet
exhibited. The subject is the Bay at Rio, with the City,
and the different ships lying at anchor. A blue ridge of
distant mountains bounds the horizon on one side,
while on the other is dimly seen, as if through a
mist (a characteristic feature which is very adroitly
preserved) a fine sweep of water, intercepted partly by
some low islands, which stretch away to the right and left
in front. But the masterly disposition of the shipping is
the chief feature in this Panorama. The Blanche frigate is
lying in the fore-ground, with the crew scattered about in
different directions, one midshipman (a very striking
figure), is seen peeping with an eye-glaas through the
port-holes; corns sailors are apparently manning the yards,
and all wear the bustling and active appearance of
life. A steam-boat is darting past in the offing, but the
swell left behind it in the water, is stiff and formal ; the
colouring too, is closely modelled upon that of Turner.--
It is too blue, as much so indeed, as Lady Morgan. Sea,
sky, and mountains, (except in one or two green spots---a
charming relief) are literally bathed in blue. With the
exception of the above defects, the Panorama is admirable.
The shipping only would deserve attention ; but when
combined with a tasty selection of the most characteristic
features of the landscape, entitles Mr. Burford to take a high
rank among the artists of the present day.

THE COEN BILL.—It was rumoured at
Westminster this morning, that there is to be a grand push
made in the Commons to-day to try to bring up the new
Corn Bill to the Lord, to-night, that it may he there read
the first time ; and then the further object is said to be, to
get it read a second time on Monday, committed on Tues-
day, the Report received on Wednesday, read a third time,
and passed on Thursday, and the Parliament to be pro-
rogued on this day week.

The public will learn, with regret, and the
friends of the Fine Arts with some shame, perhaps or self-
reproach, that Mr. 11.syron, the historical painter, having
had no employment for his talents for the last eight months,
is reduced to the most extreme embarrassment. We be-
lieve it warMtcstalf., Awsnoto who used to say that his
productions were his family. Unluckily Mr. Itsvuon's
family is of a more expensive kind ; a wife expecting her
aecowellemext, and five helpless children, at once share and
aggravate his distress.—Morning Paper.
