little miracle endeavoured to do the same for a male head, which, if we remember right, she calls the Portrait of a Gentleman; but a long nose, and a face moderate in its meaning, seem to have been too much for her, skilful as she is. 151. Caution;' INSKIPP.-This represents a girl, bare legged and bare footed, gliding timidly onward to a foaming brooklet, over which her way lies. Little caution seems necessary, for feet so nimble as hers might skip across the stream at once; and we are quite sure that no country-bred girl, such as the artist imagined when he painted this, would hesitate a moment, but bound over it like a roe. The picture, in all other respects, is a fine one. 208. The Ettrick Shepherd in his Forest Plaid;' GORDON.-This is, no doubt, a good resemblance of our inspired friend of Ettrick: the expression is, however, a shade too severe; and it would have been better had some sunshine found its way to his brow. We hear he has been cut as large as life, and at full-length, in stone, by Greenshiels, a work which the poet, it is said, calls a capital performance: the authority may be strong in matters of verse-we doubt its accuracy in matters of art. 156. 'The Grecian Choirs at the Temple of Apollo;' LINTON.-This splendid scene was 213. Group of Children;' MRS. CARPENTER. suggested by a passage in Plutarch. "Nicias-This lady deserves all the praise here, which caused a bridge to be constructed at Athens, we bestowed upon her picture of Mrs. Selwyn before his departure for Delos, magnificently and Child,' with the addition, that in these indecorated with gold and garlands, rich stuffs nocence and beauty are in action. Graceful and tapestry; and on his arrival there, during playfulness and arch simplicity unite here with the night previous to the ceremony, threw it fine natural colouring. across the narrow strait, between that island and Rhenia, at which latter place they landed. Early in the morning the procession marched over the bridge, and up to the temple, singing hymns to the deity." On each side of the strait the hills are crowned with temples; and on the bosom of the water the Greek ships are seen moving on to the sound of music: the scene is light and elegant, and the picture cannot fail to find many admirers. scene, 162. 'In Peace Love tunes the Shepherd's Reed; MRS. HAKEWILL.-A pretty pastoral such as poets dream, rather than such as nature presents. The Ettrick Shepherd piping on the Braes of Yarrow, would make a characteristic Corydon, true to the verses of Scott, and in better keeping with old Scotland than this, which is rather too Arcadian. 171. The Tomb of Hermione;' MADDOX.There is some good colouring here, and nature such as any one may praise. 185. Portrait of a Lady;' DAVIS.-There are not many very good portraits in these galleries: those which represent gentlemen are the worst: we can praise this likeness in the spirit of meekness and moderation; there is good colouring and character in it. 194. Mrs. Selwyn and Child;' MRS. CARPENTER.-A mother and child, and a very lovely pair: this is the finest picture of the kind in the place; and did we not dislike comparing one artist with another, we would say it is worthy of Lawrence. The maternal loveliness of the one, and the reposing beauty of the other, are such as few pencils of these days can rival. The colouring, too, is natural and becoming. 195. Edinburgh Castle, from the GrassMarket;' ROBERTS.-The castle-crowned crag, with the wide grass-market at its base, is faithfully delineated: we wish Roberts, when he visits the gude town again, would go into the Lawn-market some clear moonlight evening, and look along one of those narrow openings called Closes, which lead towards the Firth of Forth. There he will see dyers' poles, with all their many-coloured streamers flying-women in mutches looking out of windows seven and eight stories up in the air-he will get a cut out of the New Town-the Firth, with its ships passing and repassing-a slip of the shore of Fife, and a broad strip out of the sky, with the moon, it may be, and a star or two by her side. Let him paint this, and he will soon find a customer -the picture would be beautiful. 207. Landscape;' SIMS.-This picture seems to grow the more beautiful the longer we look at it. There is a rude hut filled with gipsies, and asses, relieved from their panniers, grazing at hand; while for miles beyond them we can see into a country, rich neither in corn nor poultry, or such things as those vagrants love 224. The first picture of a series to represent the Procession to the Abbey at the Coronation of William the Fourth; containing Portraits of distinguished persons who attended on that occasion.' Painted for His Majesty: DAVIS. We need only say of a performance executed to royal commands, that it seems, as far so it goes, to accomplish the King's and the artist's wishes. Patronage, they tell us, is a fine thing, and yet Mr. Davis would protest, we have no doubt, against our criticising this picture as a work of art. 238 and 262. 'Autumn,' and the Coming Shower,' are both by INSKIPP, and exhibit the same original qualities which we noticed in his other works: there are two others, 443 and 461, by the same artist, which he calls Studies from Nature,' which surpass for truth and force all that surround them. They haunted us round the room, and, though now far removed from them, we see them as we write. 244. The noble Polish Girl;' Miss A. BEAUMONT.-This little picture has some agreeable light and shade, and is not deficient in character. 246. Wayside Cross;' VICKERS.-There is considerable poetic feeling in this and other productions by the same artist; he has also a good sense of harmony in colouring, and meddles but with subjects which belong to history or imagination. The Crucifixion,' and 'Rowena's Bower,' are both performances of a poetic order; were the painter to make the atmosphere of his pictures a little clearer, he would extend the number of his admirers. 273. Portrait of John Taylor,' by LONSDALE, is, perhaps, the best male portrait in the exhibition; there is a small-size picture of Lord Brougham and Vaux, by the same hand, which is also good, though less to our liking. 352. The Courier; or, Fate of the Battle;' KIDD. This is a little picture, full of indescribable drollery. It is a capital burlesque on the practice of the Fancy, of despatching pigeons to distant parts with the name of the victor in the pugilistic ring. A battle has been fought between two rustics; victory has just been declared, and the dove despatched with the glad tidings, is no other than an ass adorned with ribbons, and mounted by two boys, who are urging on the reluctant messenger, with all the speed that stupidity and stubbornness will permit, to diffuse the intelligence through the neighbouring villages. One of the riders is a little chimney-sweeper: he is holding on by his comrade's waist, and nothing is white about him, save the whites of his eyes and his teeth. We must have done for this week. There is little that we have not seen before in the Sculpture Gallery; and the engravings are chiefly old acquaintances. There are some very pretty works in the Water-Colour Gallery;-ladies in all the glow of youth and beauty; old abbeys, with all the reverence about them which the sight of beauty in ruins excites; and flowers which rival nature in all save in fragrance. MUSIC KING'S THEATRE. 'Pietro l'Eremita,' and 'Elisa e Claudio,' have been repeated, in consequence of the illness of Mad. Baptiste, for whom 'La Vestale' has been some time in rehearsal. This evening the lady is positively to appear, and Mad. Meric is to take the "Veil." 'Olivo e Pasquale,' a comic opera, by Donizetti, will shortly be produced.-Signor Winter is about to leave for the continent: and then Curioni must, we suppose, be "tenore primo." THIRD ANTIENT CONCERT. Director, the Earl of Derby. WE are happy to find that the bad taste of the Archbishop of York, in excluding glees, is not contagious. Glees are a species of classical composition, peculiarly national, which we are loth to part with, in these times of musical common-place. Croft's anthem, "This is the day,' was preceded by an extemporaneous performance on the organ, by Mr. Knyvett, in which was displayed much taste, and a complete mastery of musical science. Hide me from day's garish eye,' was sung by Miss Stephens with great purity and simplicity. Mrs. Bishop, in an Aria of Cimarosa's, was more fortunate in her intonation than usual-her style and pronunciation in Italian singing are irreproachable. Haydn's Sinfonia, No. 5, in c minor, was the only novelty in the programme. WHEN things are at the worst, it is said that they must mend; we hope so, for then we may safely congratulate the management of this theatre on their production of Tuesday last, called 'Der Alchymist.' In one night it has established a claim, which nothing can shake, to be considered the silliest, the worst, and the dullest opera of the day. We have called it an opera, because the bills have; but hodge-podge would have been a better term. It is a rule with us, not to mention the names of authors, where their productions are unsuccessful; but the following little statement, which will be found to be pretty near the truth, will sufficiently make out our case of hodge-podge. It is a drama in three acts, written by two Englishmen, partly founded on a novel by one American, with music selected by a third Englishman, from six operas by one German. To complete the confusion, the scene is laid in Spain, and the title given to the piece is 'Der Alchymist,' which we take to be German to anything but the matter. The outline of the plot is this:-Felix de Vasquez, the Alchymist, (Mr. E. Seguin,) is in search of the philosopher's stone; he has a daughter, Inez, (Miss Pearson,) who is beloved by Don Alonzo, the student of Salamanca, (Mr. Wood); Don Ramiro, a very naughty Spanish nobleman, (Mr. H. Phillips,) is also in love with Inez, which is and it was not until the eighth ballot that he united a sufficient number of votes to secure his success. -Messrs. Salvandy, Thiers, Dupin and Tissot, were his competitors. Malle. Taglioni.-We regret to learn that this lady is dangerously ill, from a severe accident; while in the act of flying as a sylph at a considerable height, she fell to the stage-surgical assistance was promptly had, and she was twice bled, but remains in a dangerous state. seemed to think that a white mop head and a pale face constituted an old man)-well-no matter-there is the little old man in his grey coat, cut shorter, and his little mop head and little pale face, and he reads his book, and he gets up Fioravanti's opera of 'Comingio romito,' was and struts about, and then Mrs. Wood's little last week brought out at the Italian Theatre, in deputy rises as the principal had done before Paris, where the admirable acting and singing through a nondescript sort of chest or coal-box- of the artists, whom it is the good fortune of and Mrs. Wood sings behind the scenes or under the manager of that theatre to retain, gave it a the stage for her, and the little old boy is melo- success which the music alone would not have dramatic, and kneels and prays to the little entitled it to. The French are enthusiastic in young girl, and the audience laugh, and the scene their admiration of Lablache; in this new opera, closes, and the whole affair reaches the height he performs the part of a gay Colonel, who has or rather depth of absurdity. A part intended found his way into a convent of Trappistes, to be comic, but which had a different effect whose doctrine, discipline, and diet, he finds upon the audience, was given to Mr. Harley. particularly offensive to his own epicurean prinHe is a hypochondriac, and fancies himself at ciples and practice. The scene of the piece lies one moment a tea-pot-at another, a giblet-pie wholly in the monastery, and some of the situa-at another, a sugar-loaf. The only good❘tions, although highly relishing to the Parisian laugh he got was from a little remark evidently taste, are not exactly such as the Duchess of his own-Mrs. Jones has occasion to tell him Angoulême would sanction, or Mr. Perceval that what he says "is all nonsense "-upon approve. which he good-naturedly said, "That's what I say-I say it's all nonsense too." The house were so pleased with this sally, that we verily believe their personal feelings towards the man saved the piece from the condemnation which his part was fast bringing on it. Mr. Seguin did not get on quite so well as we have before seen him-both his singing and acting had too much of the Royal Academy about it. Mr. H. Phillips did his best, but his opportunities were few and middling. He sang a very charming and simple romance, beginning "Oh come with me, my dearest," with great taste, and was unanimously encored. Mr. Templeton improves. Mr. Wood was over-weighted. He seems to be carefully excluded from the style of music which suits him best, and in which he used to be a great favourite. Miss Pearson sang her music, perhaps, a shade better than usual; but she seemed to feel that she had more to act than she could get through, and every now and then positively looked aghast at her part. One only subject for unmixed praise presents itself, in noticing this ill-concocted and badly-produced jumble, and we proceed to a notice of that with heart and soul. We have kept it to the last, as a child keeps the tart which has custard on its top. We will venture to affirm, that the annals of the English Stage do not furnish another instance of such splendid singing and such admirable acting combined, as were exhibited by Mrs. Wood on this occasion. She is known and admitted to be the best singer of the present day-we suspect we might add, of any day--and she was at her best, both as to voice and exertion, on Tuesday last. In addition to this, we have no hesitation in saying, that her acting was so excellent that it would of itself have made the fame of a new performer. There were calls in the part for the expression of a variety of passions, and every call was answered in a way little short of perfection. The opera cannot last, and, for Mrs. Wood's sake, we regret it. not only objected to by Inez herself, but by Sybella, a Morisco girl, (Mrs. Wood,) who has been, and still is, living with him-evidently more as mistress than servant. Don Ramiro resolves to go all lengths to gratify his passion, and Sybella, ditto, to thwart him. Accordingly, whenever and wherever Inez is in danger from any one of the numerous snares laid for her by Ramiro and his agents, Sybella (being invested with supernatural powers for that purpose,) is at hand to warn and save her. Towards the close of the third act, The Alchymist, having been denounced by Don Ramiro to the Inquisition as guilty of sorcery, is about to play the principal part in an auto da fè, when Don Alonzo arrives just in time with a pardon-fights with and slays Don Ramiro, and Sybella, after going mad, and singing a medley, expires upon the body of her hated-while-living, but beloved-to-excessnow-dead Don. We are quite willing to subscribe to the high praise accorded by Professors to the music of Spohr; but we have before said, and are now more than ever convinced, that no opera of his, as a whole, will ever be popular on our stage. Portions here and there may take, and now and then a whole song may have air and melody enough about it to become a favourite, but there it will end. Mr. Bishop must have felt this difficulty, or why did he ransack six operas to collect materials for one? The same feeling ought to have taught him beforehand, that with all his ransacking, his exertions would go for nothing. We would venture any reasonable wager, that the call-boy of the theatre, if asked at rehearsal which of the pieces of music would be encored by the audience at night, would at once have named Mr. H. Phillips's romance-the only one which was. Why then was experience, like Mr. Bishop's, of less use than the call-boy's would have been? Mr. Bishop is a composer of pure taste, deep science, great genius-he is still in the prime of life-and if he unfortunately lacks either ambition or industry, to do that honour to himself and his country, which he possesses all else to enable him to do, let him give over the degrading occupation of selecting, patching, and dovetailing other people's works, and go to sleep quietly upon a bed, which he has earned, even now, laurels of his own to make. With all due allowance for the difficulties of writing words to suit the long rambling scenes and concerted pieces contained in these heavy German operas, we must in justice accord the palm of imbecility to those contained in the book before us. Such persons as may be desirous of speculating in bad English, will find in it an eligible investment for ten-pence. There is no pleasure in thus finding fault with everything, and those who think there is, are grievously mistaken-but duty must be done, and if we are to speak the truth, we have little else to do with anything in this opera. The scenery was mostly indifferent, and the working of it bungling in the extreme. At one time, we had a half scene of rocks and mountains come creeping up through the stage, and which, slow as it was, was yet too soon for its appointment with the other half, which ultimately descended from the clouds to meet it. Perhaps, however, the greatest curiosity of the evening, was a scene called 'The Vision.' The Alchymist, confined in the dungeons of the Inquisition, stretches himself on his pallet, sleeps, and dreams. The back of the prison opens, and discovers his study decorated as we have beheld it in a previous scene, which scene, for reasons best known to the authors, is re-enacted by children dressed in imitation of Mr. Seguin and Mrs. Wood. There is no pretence of distance, for Mr. Seguin, where he lies, might almost put his hand into the room allotted to this Vision,-why, therefore, children should have been employed, remains a puzzle. (Mr. Seguin, it should be observed, was badly disguised-he MISCELLANEA Mr. Bone's Pictures.-We have just received a catalogue of the collection of pictures and engravings of this artist, which are announced for sale, on Tuesday next, at his late residence in Berners Street.

THE Publication of THE JURIST; or, LEGISLATION, which has been unavoidably suspended for some time, will be resumed in the month of April, and the Work will in future appear, with strict regularity, on the 1st of July, the Ist of November, the 1st of January, and the 1st of April. The principles and objects of this work will be the same by which it has hitherto been governed-to diffuse information on subjects of Legislation and Jurisprudence-to trace the progress of those sciences both at home and abroad-and to direct the public mind to that which is practicable and valuable in reform. Some slight alterations will be made in the arrangement of The Jurist. The original articles will occupy the greater portion of each number. These will be succeeded by reviews of English and Foreign books on subjects connected with Jurispru dence. The reviews will be strictly critiques of the works, and not merely essays on the same subjects. Lastly, some pages of each number will be devoted to a selection from the Parliamentary Papers, and to intelligence, foreign and domestic. At the conclusion of each year, a critical review will be given of the proceedings in Parliament, and in the Courts of Justice; in which an attempt will be made to develope the spirit which governs the Acts of the Legislature, and the Judgments of the Courts. The more important measures of the Session will form the subjects of separate articles. From the Continent (where the former numbers of 'The Jurist' were very favourably received) and from the United States of America, many contributions of much value have been procured, and arrangements have been made to secure their continuauce."

Although the treatment of Cataract, for several years, constituted the sole, and will continue the leading, object of this Infirmary, the extensive prevalence of other ophthalmic complaints, and the limited means hitherto provided for their relief, have led to the recent enlargement of this Charity. Not only are convenient indoor accommodations prepared for the exclusive reception of Cataract Cases, but the poor, afflicted with any of the various Diseases of the Eye, on personal application at the Infirmary any Tuesday or Friday morning before 10 o'clock, are received as out-patients, and supplied with the requisite medicines, and surgical aid, free of expense. It may be proper to add, that patients can scarcely apply for advice at too early a period after the formation of the Cataract, since its removal can be most easily and successfully accomplished, so soon even as there is any cloudiness or dimness perceptible in the Eye, by the plan long and satisfactorily pursued by Mr. Stevenson; the advantages of which are fully explained in the 4th edition of his New Mode of Treating Cataract; and its practical utility needs no other proof than the fact, that 25 cases in succession have been operated on at the Infirmary, and restored to sight, without a single failure, during the last nine months. Donations and subscriptions, in support of the Charity, are received at the Bank of Sir Claude Scott and Co. Cavendishsquare; at that of Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smiths, Lombardstreet; and at the residence of Mr. Stevenson, 18, Margaretstreet, Cavendish-square.

HE NEW PLANETARIUM, with DirecTHE tions for its Use. By T. G. BUNT, Land Surveyor, Bristol. This beautifully engraved diagram of the planetary orbits, which shows, almost at inspection, a planet's exact place in the heavens, and performs a variety of other interesting problems, will be found highly useful in teaching the elements of popular and practical Astronomy. To be had of the Publisher, R. Fauntleroy, 156, Leadenhallstreet, London; of the Booksellers and Opticians in Bristol; or of the Author, Small-street-court, Bristol. "The beautiful Planetarium, by Mr. Bunt, accurately exhibits the forms and positions of the planetary orbits (those between Mars and Jupiter excepted), their relative distances from the Sun, and the places of their intersections with the plane of the Ecliptic, and with a degree of precision which manifests the great labour and care that have been given to the construction; it enables the student to trace, for any part of this and the following century, the situations of the various planets in reference both to the Earth and to the Sun, and also to the Ecliptic. It thus renders an Ephemeris unnecessary for those purposes, in the employment of the Celestial Globe; and the use of it will lead to much solid information respecting the planetary movements. Mr. Bant's Planetarium, with an explanatory book, is sold at a very moderate price, and well deserves encouragement."-Lectures on Astronomy delivered at the Bristol Institution, by the Rev. L. Carpenter, LL.D. Extract of a letter from the Rev. Thos. Exley, A.M. "I have examined Mr. Bunt's Planetarium, and find that it gives the places of the planets with great accuracy and facility. Having seen the above remarks of Dr. Carpenter, I have the satisfaction to say that I fully concur with his sentiments on the subject. THOS. EXLEY." London: J. HOLMES, Took's Court, Chancery Lane.
