MR. ILLYDoN'ti T;ICTU RE. Seittlrday lest a

new Picture from the powerful genius of this Ar-
tistwas submitted to•a private view of the Anut-
:lents, and yesterday to the Public at large. The
subject is the entrance of CHRIST INTO JRR U-
IALPIC It is impossible to do justice to this mas-
terly work in the brief space which we can allot
to it. The whole is conceived with grandeur and
41 solemnity not unworthy of the subject. As the
scene is supposed to h'ave taken place in open
1144', the At fist would have had some diffi-
culty in exhibiting a due contrast of light
and•Aadow if he had not adopted the expedient
Of introducing many dark draperies •which fully
eflect the purpose. There is a vast variety of cha-
racters att.endint.( this august and solemn scree,
