tions of the painter in the disposition of 
hue and effect. | 
The Royal Academy is to be congra- 
tulated on the choice of an active asso- 
ciate, in the person of Anthony Carlisle, 
esq. who has been lately elected to the 
office of Professor in Painting, in the 
place of the ingenious, amiable, and un- 
fortunate Sheldon, who died about two 
months since. Mr. Sheldon’s lectures, 
founded on deep professional knowledge, 
were studiously adapted to the particu- 
Jar researches and wants of painters, 
though sometimes even going beyond the 
sphere of their immediate studies. The 
Royal Academy has at present reason to 
entertain the highest confidence that Mr. 
Sheldon’s will not be the last, nor the 
greatest, example of zeal and talents in 
those respects. Mr. Carlisle’s abilities 
have deservedly raised him to eminence, 
and his professional lectures addressed to 
students in his own profession are well 
known, and justly celebrated. The com- 
petition for the professorship lay between 
Mr. Carlisle, and Mr. Bell, the author of 
several valuable anatomical publications ; 
both highly qualified for the interesting 
situation to which they aspired.

by the Royal Academy for drawings and 
models in sculpture, from the living 
figure, and ‘for views in architecture, 
were adjudged by the annual meeting of 
the Royal Academicians, on Saturday, 
the 10th instant. The same day, being 
the anniversary of the establishment of 
the Academy, the usual election took 
place for the various officers appertain~ 
ing to the Institution, and the venerable 
president of last year was continued in. 
his chair by the unanimous consent of the 
assembly. 
A monument is about to be erected in 
the Temple church, to the memory of 
the late Lord Chancellor Thurlow. It 
is executed by Rossi, R. A. 
The so much celebrated merits of the 
supposed pictures by Titian, of the 
Twelve Casurs on horseback, are now 
finally decided, the pictures being ascer- 
tained to be from the pencil of A. Tem- 
pesta; a name which, although at a very 
great distance below “ the mighty mas- 
ter’ of the Venetian school, is yet ac- 
knowledged by painters to be entitled to 
a very competent degree of estimation. 
The Gallery of the Bath Exhibition is 
opened again for the approaching sea- 
son, on the same plan as last year.
