EXHIBIT lON—MDCCCX.
No. 20. Landseafie, Morning.—P. J. DE LOUTHER-
BovEG, R. A.—Remarkable for that burning glow
of colouring, of which no artist so well understands
the mechanical management as Mr. Loutherbourg ;
but his tints are not always those of nature—of Erig-
natore in particular we here recognize but little ;
it is, however, a masterly production of pictorial art.
44. Elgin Cathedral.—W. WlLSON.—Having seen
this picture more to advantage than in the situation
where it now hangs (close to the sky-light of the
Great Room) we can speak of its merits more cor-
rectly than any of the visitors of the Exhibition will
have an opportunity of doing. • The grand desiderata
in all delineations of this kind, are mathematical ac-
curacy of architectural detail, and truth of colouring,
for both of which this picture is eminently conspicu-
ous. A sweet sobriety of tint also prevails through-
out, morally impressive of the sentiment which occu-
pies the mind on the contemplation of such real scenes
of fallen grandeur.
64. Crossing Me Brook.--C. CRANMER, jun..—Thig
young man will become an Artist of some note if he
pursue his sylvan studies, unseduced by the meretri,
cious glare of same of his contemporaries ; avoiding
at the same time, a carelessness of manner, which is
particularly unwarrantable in a Tyro. The figures
in tthis picture are well conceived, but not much
finished. The back-ground is pretty.
75. 4n Heath-ewe and Lamb:.—J. WARD, A.—
Had we seen this picture before noticing Mr. W.'s
" Cattle in a Storm," we should have torborn our
closing observations on that work. These sheep are
painted from a close observance of nature, and are
therefore exactly what they should be, and no more.
!If any thing they are laboured unnecessarily ; but the
effect is strong, and the colouring chaste.
91. Thee Deserted Sailor.—T. STEWARDSON.—This
is, we believe, the production of a young painter, and
is, in regard to design, creditable to his talents ;—of
its execution we are not abk to judge, from its ele-
vated situation, but certain we are that it possesses
sufficient of merit in every respect to have taken place
of many which might be pointed out, were they
worthy of notice. The Artist seems to have caught
his idea from the case of poor Jeffery, and it is surely
a subject not unworthy either of the pencil or of the
pen of sympathy.

BROOK-GREEN PAIR.--This Fair, held in the
neighbourhood of Hammersmith, commenced oh
Tuesday amidst a numerous body of genteel visitors.
The appearance of this fair is the mast picturesque of
aoy near London. The show.booths, stalls, round•
abouts, and other frail fabrics, are dr awn up in excel-
lent order, and the various exh bitions displayed to
advantage. Several itinerants, who devote their ta-
lents to the service of Melpomene and Thalia, made
their exits and their entrances to please the rustic ad-
mirers of the drama. 'l'he gorgeous palaces of these
farces and mummers were notch frequented, and the

and, while soliciting him to adjourn with her, she
snatched his watch, and .conveyed it •to a third per-
son, who escaped. The prisoner denied the fact ;
but the LORD MAvon, alter reprimanding the prose-

On Tuesday, as a man belonging to Justice 1-fall,
in the Old Bailey, was passing through the Temple, .
he observed a woman whom he knew to be a bad chit-
racter, with a child about three or four years of age.
She appeared to be enticing the child away with hh, i
which induced him to watch her. He heard her pro-
mise the child a drum and a fiddle ; she took. it into
a pastry cook's shop in the Strand, and gave it a
tart. He followed her till she went into Johnson's
alamode-kef shop, in Clare-court, and then went ,
and gave information at the Public-office, Bow-strut. '
Mr. NARES, the sitting Magistrate, sent Rivett, the.
officer, who brought the woman and child before theti
Magistrate. The child was too young to give an ac- I
count of itself. From the tale of the woman, and
inquiries maie by the officers, it was ascertained that
the child was at nurse with a woman who is a laun-
dress in the Temple, and who, while she was attend.
ing to her chambers, had intrusted the chili to a
woman, who had left it in the care of the prisoner.—
The laundress who had the child under her care, was
in very great distress when she was traced out. The
prisoner was discharged.
