national ACADEMY OF DEsIGS.-N s. and II,

cradle specimens of that species. They have more
.reedom and force than delcacy or finish
No. 2 Miniature of a lady, by }. d. Gernon; free,
bold and faulty. The artist would do better at some
thing larger; scene painting for instance
Nos and IA. Small portraits, by Geo. Linen
The execution of these is bold and marked with ge-
MUS; yet must repeat that small portraits and mn
latures require very nice finish. Let the crst look
at his subject in a convex mirror.
No. A. View of Little Falls on the Mohawk, w. J.
Bennett. This wafer color landscape little stiff
in the foreground but improving the picture re-
cedes. On the whole credtable to the artist and
the Academy.

by Miss Rosanna A. Purcell. They would be consld-
cred good at young ladies' boarding school, but have
ne m n uy hen n N hpr

exquisite softness about i that canno, be initiated
Engravings the best and the finest are harsh in com
parison with good pencilling
Nos and 8. Water colsr-a little better than and
l0-E. Purcell. We'll enough in shop window.
No. g. Lady's miniature, A. l. Agate. Bad subject
bad painting, credit to the artist the Academy
In the name of good taste, why do they admit every
thing that is offered and allow every fifth rate dauber
of lkenessesto hang up his sign?
No. l3. Miniature sketch OF a boy, by +. ID. Nler-
chant This is one Of the gems of the collection. The

have good talent for drawing, without the eas, idea
of eolors. This picture IS a specimen.
No. IL. Head of a horse-F. J. Swinton.
folernble drawing for an inexperienced artist but
about appropriate here a real horse would be.
No. l6. boy ishing-W. Ellie Bad every way;
bad drawing, bad colorlng bad design, bad effect.
An awful homely boy, IN constrained position, looks
rs if he starting eft TO leave his dog and basket
to take care of themselves. The white pantaoons
are tolerable
No. 10. Lady's Portrait-N. Whitehorne. The
less that is said about it, the better
No. 20. Landscape-G. Harvey. beautiful scene
on the Ohio, very ndllferently painted
No. Fl. View of Indian Falls. Il. Beaumont.

Have the hanging committee 10 tastel Why do
they humbug the public with such daub, they can
see better on any sign board for nothing.
No. p. Scene-Sea coast, Wales. Shaw. The
scene is not well selected TO make good picture
There must be architectural correspondence be-
tween the different parts please the eye but the
execution Of this piece is beautiful The effects of some
parts unsurpassed. The relief OF the ruin, and the
distant mountains are excellent
No. %. Group Of chldren-H. lnman. very
pretty little boy, and hs white haired rosy checked
laughing, sunburned beauty of sister. It's all good
particularly the arm and hand Of the girl.

No %. Portrait of Dir. Somebody. II. Spen-
Ger. Good, easy strongly drawn and chaslcIy CO.

No. 20. View on the Mohawk--W. G.. Wall
Tolerable dfawing-bad coloring all red yellow and
brown-comm9n iault-no green cnough-no good
grass-water very transparent-the reflection of the
sky colored more highly than the sky itself.
So much for SO much, and more anon.
