    of the Reign of Terror ; 9 th Thermidor , 1793 , " by Charles Louis Miiller . Dramatic in its grouping * and vigorous in execution , it

    is a fine specimen of the peculiar school of art to which it belongs . Edouard Frere , with his inimitable home subjects , and Meissonier ,

    with his finely-painted miniature interiors , are not so strong as on former occasions .

    That liberal caterer for the picture-loving public , M . Gambart , has shown himself no less liberal apart from the regions of art , by

    exhibition p Committee lacing the of of upper paintings " The rooms Home drawings of for the Day French and Wor Gallery sketches kers , " for at by the the amateur disposal purpose artists of of- the an /

    An exhibition which discloses , excellences , of no ordinary kind , and ¦ which , did we not fear to be thought invidious , we should say might ,

    with advantage to itself , challenge comparison with the Exhibition of Female Artists , now in its third year . Her Majesty has been a

    liberal purchaser from this collection , the funds of which are in aid of the societmentioned above .

    Carl Haag y , in the " Ruins of the Temple of the Sun , Palmyra , " and our old friend , William Hunt , bear off the palm at the Pall

    Mall Water Color Gallery , or , as it is more generally called , the Old Water Color Society . " Pilchards , a Study of Gold , " and

    " Mushrooms , a Study of Rose Grey , " painted for Mr . Rusldn , miht teach that gentleman a wholesome lesson , would he

    condescend g to learn it , that the highest detail and finish are compatible with a faithful and harmonious rendering of nature .

    We cannot forbear noting "An Arran Girl Herding , " by Marrepetition garet Gillie and s , m as annerism a rare and which most mar welcome the otherwise exception beautiful to the painting painful

    of this accomplished artist . She stands in her own light by her devotion to two or three modelsof whose idealised features and

    , varied expressions the outside world is heartily tired . The Exhibition of the Works of Ancient Masters and Deceased

    British Artists , at the British Institution , has brought together some remarkably fine specimens of Carlo Dolci , whom we all know

    as a master in depicting pathos and sentiment , but for whose vigor , as shown in the St . John" and " St . Matthew with the Angel , "

    we were not so well prepared . The Ruysdaels and Hobbimas afford a rich treat to all who love these artists , among whose

    number we confess ourselves to be . " Woody Landscape and Figures , " by Ruysdael , and " A distant View of Rome , " by G .

    Poussin , are pictures that should belong to the nation as a wholesome corrective to the " insanities and eccentricities" which have

    seized upon the artists of Young England .
