E broke off, rather abruptly, .our 
notice of the Royal Exhibition— 
‘and with a design of pursuing the subject 
in the Supplement—but found our space 
engrossed by other; perhaps more appro-~ 
priate, matter. ‘The subject’ is now, in some 
degree, gone by ; and for a while, at least, 
every one will be thinking of indulging in 
the scenes of nature, rather than analyzing 
‘the rules: of art. Yet it would be some- 
what unjust, after the attention we.have 
given to three or four historical pictures in 
‘the gallery of Somerset-house, to pass over 
in uttersilence all the rest. 
“ The Regent Murray shot by Hamilton 
of Bothwellhaugh” (W. Allan), is a well- 
thronged picture of considerable merit, 
equally creditable in composition and co- 
louring. The story is well told, and the 
figures,are quite sufficiently characteristic : 
the fault, we should say, is, that, for his- 
-‘torie picture, individual nature is pursued 
, and assumes the anti-epic sem- 
cature. Several of the figures 
ve | t graced the rustic groups 
of Wilkie, than: the canvas of the historic

ascends in the scale of being, and is 
wrought and finished in a much higher 
style of art, and shews a talent not of 
necessity confined to that rustic walk, in 
which nature shews herself only in her 
rudeness. He who painted the Highland 
Family, could give grace and dignity to a 
subject that should require it. Stodart’s 
‘ Titania,” though it has many of the cus- 
tomary graces of that artist, and the never- 
failing charm of his under-tone shadow, or 
second light, in particular, is not one of 
his happiest efforts. _ His fairies have some 
of them rather a heavy leadenness, and 
are more impish than fanciful. _ Copper’s 
“ Bosworth Field,’ which (like Allan’s 
Death of Murray) presents a multitude of 
figures on a small scale, has considerable 
merit, but not of the first order. The story 
is not ill told; and the figure of Richard 
isin good action, and exhibits the coura- 
geous fierceness of the character, but not 
without some approach to caricature in the 
person and features; and Richmond is @
