Whole length of Na foleon (two 
sizes) painted by Gerard and engraved 
by Lupton. 
The admirers of this extraordinary 
personage, whose fortunes and destiny 
have agitated the four quarters of the 
globe, have here an opportunity of 
gratifying their inclinations at two 
prices, both of a good print and a faith¬ 
ful likeness of the illustrious emperor 
in his imperial robes of state. 
Portrait of his Majesty, imme¬ 
diately after his coronation, by Sir T. 
Lawrence, President of flic Royal Aca¬ 
demy, in his coronation robes, seated 
in St. Edward’s chair, with the crown 
of England on his head, and the scep¬ 
tre in his hand, as he appeared en¬ 
throned in the Abbey. The picture, 
which is of great magnitude to admit 
the various concomitants, is already far 
advanced, and probably will be the 
most successful from the pencil of the 
president. It promises far to excel in 
magnificence and splendor the famous 
picture of the Pope by the same artist, 
belonging to Iris Majesty; when finish¬ 
ed it is intended to present duplicates 
of it to various corporation halls in the 
United Kingdom. 
and Drama . ]67 
Messrs. Wilde, Pugin, and Ste- 
phAnoff are engaged in preparing 
splendid views of (he coronation. 
A Portrait of Sir Walter Scott, is 
just published, from an original sketch 
by Mr. Slater. 
A series of twelve Illustrations for 
Crabbe’s Poems, and another series 
of six for Moore’s Lalla Rookh, will be 
published in a few days. They are from 
designs by Corbould, and were origi¬ 
nally engraved for a periodical work. 
It is reported that the Royal Acade¬ 
micians have liberally determined to 
form a collection of the finest works of 
the old masters, which are to be placed 
in the painting room of the Royal Aca¬ 
demy for the improvement of tile stu¬ 
dents. 
A neiv institution, established for (he 
encouragement of the fine arts, was 
opened at Glasgow on Monday the 6th 
of August. Theriilesand regulations, 
as far as regards the disposal of the 
works in the gallery, are similar to 
those of the British Institution. 
Tile Royal Irish Institution have of¬ 
fered 500 guineas premium for the best 
picture of his Majesty’s landing in Ire¬ 
land. 
NEW MUSIC AND THE DRAMA. 
The Beauties of Mozart, Handel, Pleyel , 
Haydn, Beethoven, and other celebrat¬ 
ed Composers, adapted to the tcords of 
popular Psalms, and Hymns, for one or 
two voices, by an Eminent Professor. 
rriHIS collection of adaptations com- 
A prises more than eighty articles, 
occupies one hundred and sixty-four 
pages, in horizontal octavo, and is ac¬ 
companied with appropriate sympho¬ 
nies, and an organ, piano, or harp part. 
The compiler’s object in this publi¬ 
cation, according to the professions 
expressed in his preface, was to apply 
to the most popular of the psalms, a 
more elegant and fascinating style of 
music; for which purpose he had se¬ 
lected a variety of detached strains of 
melody, from the above and other dis¬ 
tinguished masters, among whom we 
find the name of the tasteful, original, 
and ever-charming Poesiello. "This 
design was meritorious, and though 
not executed with uniform success, is 
far from being destitute of meaning and 
effect, and of promising to prove useful 
and gratifying to the lovers of sacred 
music. We, however, cannot refrain 
from observing that the accent has not 
always been sufficiently attended to, 
and that in some instances, it is posi¬ 
tively falsified. 
To the vocal part of the work we 
find prefixed nine preludes, in as many 
different keys, (all in the major mode) 
the whole of which are abstracted from 
the justly-celebrated work of Sebas¬ 
tian Each ; and form a considerable and 
acceptable portion of the publication 
before us. Viewed altogether, the con¬ 
tents of this volume are of a description 
to sanction our approbation, and to 
admit of our recommending the under¬ 
taking to the notice of the public. 
Numbers 1,2 and 3, of a Selection of the 
most admired. Waltzes, for the Piano 
Forte, by J. Monro. 2s. 
Mr. Monro dignifies this little work 
with the appellation of La creme des 
Waltzes , to the justice of which, though 
we are not unaware of its subjection "to 
the charge of vanity, we are by no means 
unwilling to subscribe. The pieces are 
selected with judgment, are dilated, 
ornamented, and filled up with taste 
and science, and the preludes, one of
