      THE FEW PRINT IN " THE VERNON GALLERY /* Among the pictures to be specially remenibered by visitors to the Vernon Gallery , E . M . Ward ' s Kyely and brilliant * 'Scene in Change Alley , during the agitation of the South Sea Bubble , " takes a foremost rank . From this work , Mr . J . Carter has just produced an engraving which will appear in a forth coming numberof the Art-Jamvial ; and which . is , in every respect , by far the best print that has yet been issued in the series called "The Vernon Gallery . " The difficulties of the task confided to the engraver must , in this instance , have been immense . He has had to reproduce , on a _ surface of some ten inches by seven , a large ^ picture , elaborately composed * filled throughout with figures , and mainly ^ dependent for its effect ? , on the truth and variety of its " characters , " as

      represented — and admirably . a ^ resis # fceiiji ?— in their faces . It is only doing common justice to Mr . Cartel * to say , that he has thoroughly succeeded in his undertaking !^^ Confined , as the scale is on which he has been obliged towb ¥ k 7 ¦ jW' $ L $ l \ p ^ Ilrved the expressions of the fucbirivaf the . 'ioil&ginafcnp i ^^ in . ifcfc . jfategrqnra ^ background , as well , ftideed , throughout the whole of this beautiful print , the conscientiousness ! of the workmanship is to the full as remarkable as the ingenuity ; ¦ Nothmg . ia slurred over , nothing left unequal , in any corner , look where you will ; and this exquisitely high finish , like all good and genuine finish ,

      derogates nothing from the general effect . Looked at , as a whole , the print is delightfully brilliant and harmonious , and suggests ! , in its sober livery of black and white , the idea of sparkle and colour , as only line engraving can , when produced by a first-rate hand . It is merely doing a duty to the public thus to draw their attention , beforehand , to this work , a work which it is no exaggeration of praise to characterize as a credit to the English School of Engraving , and as enough of itself to make Mr . Carter ' s reputation .

      MR . LESLIE , R . A . It is rumoured in the world of art , that Mr . Leslie , U . A ., contemplates resigning his post as lecturer on painting in the . Hoyal Academy . In the event of that resignation really taking place , it is hardly possible to characterize too strongly the loss that will be sustained , not merely by the students and members of the Hoyal Academy , but by a much wider circle to whom the art supplies one of the intellectual enjoyments of life . Mr . Leslie ' s lectures are invaluable as new contributions of the higher order , to the somewhat scanty literature of painting ; and if he be really about to leave a vacancy in his office , we hope to see them published in an available form , by way of some compensation for what we are about to lose . The reason stated for Mr . Leslie ' s contemplated retirement is an unanswerable one : he finds that his labours at the desk , entailed by the preparation of his lectures , keep him too often absent from his labours at the easel .

      Sib Jo 8 hija Beynolds ' s " Thagic M ! tjse . "—Ekgbayed by Joseph Webb . —Reynolds ' s portrait of IVErs . Siddons , enthroned in a classic supremacy , has alwaj 3 been popular , from its freedom and breadth of efiect , its life-like air , its individuality and ideality combined . There have been many versions of it from the graver , varying in their several qualities . The one before us is in . the mixed line and mezzotint style ; not the best style , but one which , in some degree , combines the precision and clearness of the graver with a more moderate price . The character is well caught ; and the effect , if somewhat black and heavy , is not destitute of power , conveying a fair idea of Heynplds ' s picture as it now looks .
