NV Yung, April =, 1850.
The thirty. fifth Annuul Exhibition Of the Ma
tional academy Of Design, which is now open
to the public, is undoubtedly the n.ost interest.
ing and aesthetic theme ut present talked Of in
this city. 1w:s ut the '::psivate view " Of the !
night before the opening, and hare seen the
seven hundred paintings in daytime light md
leisure, Tn sundry occasions since, and /
am, in co,nmon with others, unusu-
ally well pleased with the general character Of
this years display. But shall not ill mp your
columns with criticisms Of the respective pic
turcs, for two excellent reasons. First, every
city paper is going through. with the sause job
in detail; second, although running remarks |
Nos. 222 SS333, All. ETC., ,uny be pleasant work
fur the self styled critic. and very pleasant for
the ambitious young artist to peruse, they are |
apt to prove tedious to the newspnper-readIrg |
public, especially when that public is q thous- |
and miles away, and husut remote possibility |
Of dropping in to see all the beauties and faults
for ITSELF
