No. 4. 66 Comrades free, Carousing after victory." G. Cattermole. This exceedingly clever performance, with others in which Mr. Cattermole has let a little more light into his subject, is a fair illustration of what we have alluded to in our remarks on what may be called "the old style." In the production under our notice there is much-perhaps too much-left to the imagination of the spectator. Some artists are ultra in the brilliancy of their tones, Mr. Cattermole is equally ultra in the obscurity of his. He possesses, however, an originality of conception mation of every real judge and lover of art, and a power of execution, which, in the estimust give his daring sketches an incalculable preference to more laboured works which are destitute of those high qualities. swiftness, bend their bodies in all directions, learned and extremely interesting address, of striking performances in the collection of the and in their sports often tumble head over which we shall give an epitome in our next; present year. heels without the least difficulty or incon- and afterwards presented the two royal medals venience.

SOCIETY OF ANTIQUARIES. FINE ARTS. EXHIBITION OF THE SOCIETY OF study and practice of water-colour painting were first cultivated in this country, and yet its improvement in that period has placed it in the highest ranks of art.

We have indulged abandoned characters from England, Spain, in this slight retrospect, as shewing the growth and other countries. ROYAL SOCIETY OF LITERATURE. No. 22. View of Lincoln, from the Brayford. P. De Wint.-Cities, like countenances, have their favourable and unfavourable aspects, and their favourable and unfavourable lights; and as much judgment and taste in selection are requisite with reference to representations of the one, as with reference to representations of the other. In the instance before us, Mr. De Wint has been eminently successful in his choice. It is one of the most charming drawings that we have ever beheld, even from his masterly pencil. The rich variety in all the forms, whether of buildings, vessels, or other accessories, the depth and beauty of all the tones, and more especially the liquid transparency and flatness of the water, are incapable of being surpassed. No. 73. A Domestic Scene. Miss E. Sharpe. in the graphic embellishments of the Annuals, There has been such a demand for beauty and other recent publications of a similar nature, that we are not at all surprised at the supply brought by a lady of Miss E. Sharpe's powers into the market of art. We have here a lovely wife, a handsome husband, a welllooking grandmamma, pretty children, and the sweetest of all possible infants; and this redundance we are perversely inclined to consider as the only fault in the picture, which, in point of composition, brilliancy of colour, and careful, yet spirited, execution, is a most splendid performance. No. 88. Durham. G. F. Robson. If Mr. Robson is not weary of painting these grand and interesting views of Durham, neither are we weary of admiring them. The present, in execution, as well as in every other quality of art, is one of the finest that we have seen. No. 95. "PISCATOR. Look you now, you see him plain; I told you what he was; bring hither the landing-net; and now, sir, he is your own, and, believe me, a good one; sixteen inches long, I warrant him."" J. F. Lewis. It would certainly have done Izaak Walton's heart good to have beheld so spirited an illustration of his favourite amusement. Mr. Lewis has well "suited the action to the word." Both the figures and the scenery are in the best style No. 103. The Squire. J. F. Lewis.This, which is placed as a pendant to the lastmentioned work, is scarcely less attractive in character and execution. The former is action; the present is repose. The sports of the day over, the squire and his dogs are tasting the enjoyment which results from warmth, rest, and good cheer. Although every object is represented with great truth and vigour, we think that the relief is effected too much by of an art so entirely peculiar to England.

No. 118. The Rival Guests. G. Cattermole. We correct the catalogue, which has it "Rural Guests." Any thing less rural could scarcely be conceived. The subject is one of high romantic and chivalrous character. There is the same mysterious light, or rather obscurity, that pervades No. 4, although not in the same degree; and there is also abundant matter for the imagination to speculate upon. No. 127. Girl with a Guitar. Miss L. Sharpe. This is really what our friends of the Emerald Isle would call “a highly talented family." It is to such performances as the present, and as No. 73, that the Society owes its right to assume the title of " Painters in Water-Colours." Well, indeed, may such powerful and highly-finished works be called paintings." Still, however, we are so fastidious as to think that Miss L. Sharpe, as well as Miss E. Sharpe, is too fond of prettiness to be quite natural. No. 158. Loch Lomond, from the point of Parkin, West Highlands: a Rainy Day. Copley Fielding. The admirable effect produced in this beautiful work, as well as in No. 64, 4 Gale coming on at Sea, by the same able hand, is accomplished by a mastery over means which long practice alone can give. In the deep-toned clouds of Mr. Fielding's productions of this description, there is a flat, solid, intensity of gloom which we have never seen equalled by any other artist, either in oil or in water-colours. No. 159. Evening. G. Barret. The poetry of art pervades this noble composition, and entitles it, in all its bearings, to rank in the highest class of landscape-painting. Such exhibitions of talent make us pause and ask, "Can art be carried further? No. 164. Interior of Fielding's House, at West Stour, Dorset. G. Cattermole. We hold ourselves, as it were, personally obliged, when relics such as these are snatched from the fangs of Time. The sight of them calls up early and delightful associations. Whatever is connected with the author of Tom Jones cannot fail to be interesting and valuable in the eyes of all who are sensible of the merits of that most vigorous and characteristic, though Occasionally licentious, work. (To be continued.) NEW PUBLICATIONS. The Deserter. Painted by R. Farrier, and drawn on stone by T. Fairland. Mr. FAIRLAND has been very successful in transferring to stone the humour of the original picture. His lithographic chalk is handled with great freedom and looseness; and the print which he has now produced is an excellent companion to his former one, of the same size, from Mr. Farrier's Who'll serve the King ?

THESE Illustrations have been very ably transferred to stone by Mr. Harding, from drawings by Mr. Newnham, the companion of the lamented Webster, to whom the fatigues of the journey from Cairo to Mount Sinai, and the pestilential and furnace-like winds of the desert, proved fatal, and who expired at Cairo on the 1st of August 1828, two days after his return.

Three prizes are also announced for 1834. Insanity. It appears from an official report relative to the inmates of Charenton, near Paris, that the months during which there is the greatest number of patients in that establishment, are June, July, and August, and the least, January, May, and November. The age at which this malady most frequently manifests itself, is from thirty to thirty-five. More than half of the inmates are unmarried, and the majority are females. There are usually few married men or widowers. Fish. In a memoir recently read to the French Academy by M. Boabée, the author maintains the opinion that all the fish at present existing in fresh water had a marine origin. Statistics. The sixth monthly meeting of the Société de Statistique Universelle was held last week at Paris. Prince Leopold was to have been there, but having been prevented by indisposition, sent a letter of excuse. Several statistical works were presented, and the names of new candidates for admission were given. An interesting report was read, from which it appears that the Society now consists of 517 members, among whom are several princes, ministers of state, peers of France, and other distinguished personages. At this meeting it was proposed, and unanimously agreed to, that, at the end of 1832, three prizes of 3000, 2000, and 1000 francs should be awarded to the authors of memoirs on statistics, the best calculated to further the views of the Society.
