drawings and designs; 55 pieces of Joseph, Woodforde, Halls, Sass, Sinsculpture, of which 27 are busts, and the rest miscellaneous. There are this year 510 exhibitors, 41 of whom are members of the academy; the latter furnishing 156 pieces out of 961, the whole number exhibited. The exhibition is one of the best we remember, and the Prince Regent was guilty of no flattery in saying that he saw portraits that Titian or Vandyke, and landscapes that Claude might envy. The compliment was the greater from its truth, and the highly cultivated taste of his Royal Highness. In history, this year, that able and indefatigable veteran Mr. West, as usual, takes the lead, and is supported by a small band of promising youthful adventurers, who, under his excellent guidance, will assuredly, with perseverance, attain a splendid rank in art. Mr. Fuseli is very great, but sober history is not the class in which to rank him, he is himself alone, and his poetical and metaphysical subjects, are par ticularly grand, and possess an elevation of thought, and airiness of fancy peculiarly his own. Mr. Fuseli is both an artist and a philosopher, and illustrates with his pencil the powerful precepts of his pen. This is as it should be, professors should write, and not leave themselves to be illustrated by dilletanti. Mr. Prince Hoare, in his periodical paper called the Artist, has given artists an opportunity of essaying their powers with the pen, and they give forcible proofs of what Fielding seriocomically endeavours to prove, that a man does not write the worse on a subject for understanding a little about it. Eustachio Zanotti, in his "Ragionamenti sopra diverse question appar tementi alla Prospettiva," says, lamentingly, "La maggior parte dei libri, che ora escono al publico, non sono scritti da professori, ma da quelli, che chia mansi dillettanti, lo studio dei quali non oltrepassa le astratte speculazioni della teorica: ma nei passati secoli erano eglino stessi gli artisti, e scrittori, e filosofi? Manca agli uni la prattica, e quelle cognizioni, che per essa si aquistano. Mr. Dawe, in his demoniac, infant Hercules, and portraits of Mrs. Hope and children, evinces a versatility of powers, that, with his pictures in the preceding exhibitions, and those at Pall Mall, stamp him an artist of first rate talent, Messrs. Artaud, Etty, Hilton, gleton, and Trumbull, are the other supporters of the historical and poetic pencil. Turner's landscapes, both drawings and paintings, are above all praise; his Mercury and Hersé, is a master-piece. Callcott in the same class is excellent, but a more careful pencil would im prove his style. In portraits, Lawrence places all competitors at humble distance; his portraits of the president and the Hon. Charles Stewart, in his Hussar dress, are wonders of art. After him are Sir William Beechey, Messrs. Phillips, Northcote, Owen, Lonsdale, Stewardson, Pocock, Jackson, and Raeburn. Messrs. Bird, Wilkie, Collins, jun. and Chalon, shine in domestic humour; and Edridge, Foster, Robertson, and Engleheart, in miniature portraits. Sharpe has some high-finished wholelength cabinet portraits, of considerable taste and beauty. Bone, Hone, and Murphy, have sonie excellent enamels. In the architectural department, Messrs. Lochner, Joseph Woods, juu.. Thomas, and Ware, exhibit some rival designs for Bethlem hospitals the first of which obtained the first premium. Mr. Soane exhibits some repetitions of the Bank, slovenly drawn; and his designs for the new Ilouse of Lords, which is tasteful and elegant, also a mausoleum for his friend Sir F. Bour geois. Mr. Mr. Elmes exhibits some designs in a good taste, executing in different parts of England, and some perspective views of St. Paul's Cathedral, which appear to be his favourite subjects; Gandy has some exquisite drawings. Mr. Kinnaird a good design for a triumphal arch; Mr. Griffiths, a mansion to be erected at Memel, in Prussia; Mr. Sanders, the new Royal Military College, near Blackwater; and Messrs. Beazley, jun. Pocock, J. Wyatt, Porden, and Seward, some good designs. Mr. Robinson's design for the Museum in Piccadilly, for Mr. Bullock, is in a clumsy, heavy, style, not suitable for its destination. Egyptian architecture is not calculated either for the materials or climate of England. Before concluding for this month, it is necessary to make a few observations on the manifest partiality shewn by the Hanging Committee this year. According to the annual proposals which are. publicly publicly advertised, no exhibitor is is grossly visible. Accident could not permitted to exhibit more than eight pictures. Mr. Turner, one of that committee has nine; and Mr.Callcott,also a member of it ten; all of which,with Mr. Soanes, also a member of the same committee, are -placed in the very best places. Mr. Turner has an ample apology for his situation, as there are not any better pictures to be found to supersede them; but not so in the architectural department, where favoritism and partiality have placed all the best drawings in ALPHABETICAL LIST of BANKRUPTCIES and DIVIDENDS, announced between the 20th of April and the 15th of May, extracted from the London Gazeties, Cook J.

AVING in a former number entered into the merits of this useful work, it only remains for us to say, that the present edition possesses additional claims to the notice of young practitioners; that the national airs now introduced are given in the best style and most correct fingering, and that the new exercises are most judiciously constructed for the advancement of the unpractised finger. Appendix to the Fifth Edition of Clementi's Introduction to the Art of paying on the Piano-forte. Arranged and fingered by M. Clementi, esq. The preludes, exercises, national airs, and variations, together with the other pleasing and instructive pieces, forming the present Appendix to Clementi's in genious and valuable "Introduction to the Art of Piano-forte Performance," offer to the juvenile student a body of practical lessons, from which, if properly attended to, he cannot but derive rapid and considerable improvement. The fingering, the first object with those who would acquire a graceful and facile execution, is strikingly accurate; and it is but just to say that where it varies from the general mode, it is by its superiosity. A Ground, with Variations, for the improvement of Young Performers on the Piano-forte, by T. Cooke. To this Ground, to which Mr. Cooke has appended fifty-seven variations, is prefixed a view of the piano-forte key. board, including the additional keys. The Ground cousists of the descending notes of the octave, taken in C; and the variations possess the merit of proceeding by a nicely graduated scale of difficulty, from the most simple, to a somewhat elaborate execution; and cannot but greatly serve its evident object, that of juvenile improvement, Grand Sonata for the Piano-forte, with an Accompaniment for the Violin, (ad lib,) dedicated to Mr. Woelft, by F. Fiorillo. 58. Though, in our opinion, the piece before us is not calculated, to delight the general, or uncultivated, ear, et justice demands that we speak of it in high terms of approbation. If its style is not open and florid, it is well-studied and scientific; and if we cannot allow it the praise of glowing and striking passages, neither can we deny that the ideas are sterling and well connected, and that the real master is evident in every movement. Favourite Airs and Duos, in the serious Opera of Zaira, as performed with unbounded applause at the King's Theatre, Haymarket. Arranged for the Piano-forte or Harp, by Felice Rasi cati, esq. Ios. 6d. These airs with the merits of which the public are so well acquainted, ar arranged with taste and judgment. The accompaniment is given with every attention to the best possible effect, and the text is as accurate in its pointing, as the style of the adaptation is elegant and masterly, 4 favourite Military Divertimento for the Pianoforte, with an Accompaniment for the Ftute. Composed and dedicated to Lady Charlotte Hood, by Osmond Sagery. 26. 6d. The martial and familiar cast of this composition will not fail to please the lovers of light, but striking, composition. Many of the thoughts are novel, and the general effect bespeaks a taste and a genius capable of higher efforts. "Sweet Home;" a Polacca, introduced in the Opera of the Castle of Andalusia, by Mr. Brabam. Composed by T. Cooke, 2s. 6d. "Sweet Home" is an air with the merit of which the musical world are well acquainted. Of its introduction into the above justly-admired opera, aud the style in which it is here offered to the public, we cannot but approve. In the Castle of Andalusia, it was particularly appropriate, and is here tastefully ornamented, and judiciously accompanied. My Nannie 0;" a favourite Scots Ballad, by Hurns. Sung by Mr. Broadhurst, at Sadler's Wells, in the Pantomime of Dulce Domum. Composed by W. Reeve. 16. 6d. Mr. Reeve has hit off this little ballad with considerable felicity. The style is truly Scotch, and so appropriate to the cast and sentiment of the poetry, as to be as interesting as it is pure and simple. The American Rondo, Composed and arranged for the Piano-forte, by Mr. Holst. 25. The introduction to this piece is analogous and ingenious; and the subject of the Rondo is pleasing, though not Of the force, or pistrikingly novel. quante style, of the passages we cannot |
