considerable

98. "An Old Mill." By Mr. T. J. J. Frowd
little sketch; but the colouring is cold and raw.
99. " Sketch of Java, near Melamlong." By Mr. A
Middleton. The execution of this picture is very credit-
able to the artist, and the sketch is highly characteristic
of tropical scenery.
100. " A Sunset Scene in Holland." By Mi. A. Mon-
tague. A circular picture, in the style of Teniers. The
atmospheric part, so difficult in a sunset, is cleverly ma-

A nice

ing clouds are very natural

101. " The Yning Equestrian." By Mr. W. Huzgins.
A. large picture, in which a laughing little urchin is held
on the back of a palfrey by his nurse, and the mother, in
riding-dress, prepared to mount. The horse is well done,

. .
but, the bipeds are coarse.
102. " Fruit Piece." By Mr. Wm. Duffield. Admi
rably painted, and grouped with much taste.

103. " Upper-Lake, Killarney." by
A. nicely-painted picture.
104. " The Brig o'er the Burn." By Mr. G. E.
lg. A very nice landscape, the execution of which
is creditable and pleasing. The distances are well-defined,
and the colouring is judicious and well-toned.
105. " The Somnambulist." By Mr. W. Underhill.
A large picture, repr.senting the sleep-walker on her
midnight excursion, with lighted candle in her hand. The
drawing and colouring of this picture deserve much °raise,
but we cannot help thinking that the shadow of the nose
thrown across the left eye is not only exaggerated but un-
necessarily introduced ; a slight difference in the position
of the candle would have obviated the necessity for this
disfigurement. But even admitting that the position of
the candle is the easiest which could have been chosen, the
shadow is too sharply defined.
106. " View of Ben Vorlich, at the head of Loch Lo-
mond." By Mr. Copley Fielding. A beautiful bit of

A. Hunt

. -
sunny landscape.
107. " Lemon and Azalias." By Miss Mutrie. A very
nicely-painted group of flowers and fruit.

108. " A River Scene." By Mr. Ed. Hargitt. A pie-
.
ture of no great merit.

109. " Boy and Dogs." By Mr. Jno. Zeitter. Rather
good.

- 110, " A Venetian Lady," by Mr. A. J. Woolmer ;
and 111, " A Quiet Lane," by Mr. H. B. Willis. Two
small pictures, of no great pretensions.
112. " Portrait of the Venerable Archdeacon Brooks,
M.A." Painted for the Select Vestry of Liverpool, as a
public testimony of esteem, and to be placed as public
property in the New Board Room of the Parish•ofces,
Brownlow-hill. This is another of Mr. Philip West-
cott's talented paintings (life size) ; and perhaps his
best. Every line in the placid countenance of our much
venerated Archdeacon is given with life-like fidelity and
masterly power. •
113. " Flowers." By Miss A. F. Mutrie. A very
beautiful group of flowers, touched off with exceeding
delicacy. We have viewed the paintings of the Misses
Mutrie with much pleasure : they follow Nature strictly.
114. " The Town of Blois, in France." By Mr. E. A.
Goodall. Very nicely painted ; the colour is rick and

67 and the subject highly picturesque.
" Mother and Sleeping Child." By Mr. L. H.
S. Ma vn. A. picture of very moderate merit.
116. "The Trent Bridge, near Nottingham." By Mr.
Henry Dawson. A small picture of some character.
117. " The Father Confessor Belated." By Mr. J.
Noel Paton. R.S.A.-118. "Frankfort." By. Mr. W.
Callow.-119. " Female Head." By Mr. .1 G. Gilbert,
R.S.A.—Three small, hut well executed pictures.
120. " Waterfall in the Meadows." By Mr. F. R.
Lee, R.S.A. A beautifully painted landscape.
The Spectator, in an article upon the Royal Academy
Elections, speaks very eulogistically of the judgment of
the Liverpool Academy in awarding the £5O prize to Mr.
Holman Hunt's Pre-Raphaelite picture. We think it
only just to mention the approval of so good an authority,
as we have done and still do dissent from the decision
of the judges.
