depicted ; and the colouring and arrangement of the whole rich and 

 effective. We could wish that our limits allowed us to dwell long- 

 er on this and many like productions. 



397. Scene on the Moors of Ramroch, near Inverozan, Argyle- 

 shire. — Copley Fielding. A wide, sterile expanse of country, richly 

 and, we may say, poetically painted, with only two figures, but they 

 are good and appropriate ones. A horseman inquiring of an old 

 Scotch shepherd his way across the heath, and pointing to the cloud- 

 wreathed mountains bounding the view ; between which and the 

 foreground, intervenes a valley, from whence long wreaths of smoke 

 are slowly rising. The picture is a truly grand one. 335. View 

 of Inverary. — By the same Artist. Is extremely beautiful, and, as 

 combining more variety of scene, will^ by many, be preferred to this, 

 in our estimation, far nobler and more interesting picture. 



410. The Port of Conway, North Wales. — S. Lines, sen. The 

 splendid sunshine of this beautiful scene is perfectly dazzling ; and 

 its effect on the landscape, especially in the foreground, is given 

 with a rich breadth and harmony of colour, according well with the 

 subject. The castle, bridge, and sea view, are faithfully represented; 

 and the busy sail-menders in the foreground, and the boats moored 

 at the quay, animating the picture, forcibly recal the reality to our 

 recollection. 



We here close our remarks, and regret that the allotted space has 

 not allowed us to make them so full and satisfactory as we could 

 have wished; many highly- meritorious works remaining wholly 

 unnamed, and those we have particularized, much more briefly 

 described and reviewed than they deserved. Our aim has been 

 to give a sketch of the general character of the exhibition, by men 

 tioning as many works as possible, rather than confine our notices 

 to the comparatively few stars of metropolitan celebrity, which, 

 great and beautiful as they are, ought not to take the lead, in point 

 of interest, in an institution formed for the encouragement and 

 benefit of provincial artists. 



MEETING OF THE BBITISH ASSOCIATION. 



The fifth Anniversary Meeting of the British Association for 

 the Advancement of Science, according to previously settled arrange- 

 ment, was held last month, (August), in the city of Dublin, and 

 was confessedly, in point of numbers, rank, and talent, the most 

 brilliant of any that have preceded it. A two-fold benefit in this 

 case, was fully answered, — it brought together scientific and learned 

 men of all countries, and set at rest those doubts which sometimes
