The. subjects are taken from the fol- 
lowing passages : 
Page 28, canto 1, stanza 18: 
She raised her stately head, 
And her heart throbbed high with pride. 
Page 46, canto 2, stanza 5: 
And dar’st thou, warrior, seek to see, 
What heaven and hell alike would hide ? 
Page 90, canto 3, stanza 22: 
She thought some spirit of the sky 
Had done the bold moss-trooper wrong. 
Page 104; canto 4, stanza 6: 
Thus to the ladye did Tenlinn show 
The tidings of the English foe: 
Belted Will Howard is marching here. 
Page 164, canto 5, stanza 25: 
Yet not Lord Cranstown deigned she greet, 
Though low he kneeled at her feet. 
Page 206, canto 6, stanza 50: ~ 
The mitred abbot stretched his hand, 
And blessed themas they kneeled. 
The composition of the'six pictures is 
excellently managed, the story is clearly 
told and well made out, the figures are 
exquisitely and tastefully grouped, the 
costume is correct and well managed, and 
all ina high style of excellence. The 
engravings by Mr. Charles Heath, in the 
line manner, are high and creditable 
specimens of his abilities: they excel 
most of his cutemporaries’ for correctness 
of drawing, fidelity of representing the 
painter, depth, delicacy, and variety of 
colour; and that correct distinction of 
substances, that so highly distinguishes the 
engravers of the English school, Mr, 
Heath has proved, by these and other. 
works that shall'be noticed in some suc- 
ceeding numbers, and are now before 
the public, his just claims to the title of a 
line-engraver of the first talents; and a 
worthy inheritor of the great talents of his 
father, who has long stood in the first 
rank inart. © - 
This graphic illustration of a favorite 
poet, is not only a great acquisition to 
bind with the work ; but, from its high 
intrinsic merit, a valuable addition to the 
portfolio of the most fastidious collector,

Portrait of the Marchioness of Stafford, sngra- 
wed by C. Turner, from a picture by F. Phil- 
lips, R.A. - 
The picture from which this portrait is - 
engraved, was a prominent feature in the 
exhibition before last; and it is not saying 
too much in favor of it, to assert that 
the engraving (in mezzotinto) is a faithful 
copy, and in a clear and brilliant style 
of scraping. ; 
INTELLIGENCE, 
Royat Academy.—Mr. Fuseli is ree 
elected professor of painting, in room of 
Mr. Tresham, resigned. Mr. Fuseli 
held this appointment prior to Mr. Opie, 
but on the death of Mr. Wilson, he vaca=: 
ted the professorship, that he might suc. 
ceed Mr. W. as keeper of the academy ; 
and by his re-election, he now hola 
both situations. 
Mr. Soane continued his lectures with 
the same unabated zeal as his former 
{vide Jast month’s Magazine) and with 
the same liberal elucidations of them, by _ 
valuable drawings, at the ‘rate of above 
sixty each night. But owing to some 
unaccountable tatuity that has attended 
the architectural department of the aca- 
demy for some years past, the stadents 
are suddenly deprived of his instructions, 
which are the first they have reccived

The following fact deserves some at- 
tention:—Mr. Lonsdale the  portiait 
painter, 1s employed by the Marquis of 
Douglas to paint for him portraits of their 
Majesties, in liea of those taken by the 
Dutch in coming from St. Petersburg. 
He therefore applied a few days since, 
to the president and council, for permis. 
sion to copy those done by Sir Joshua 
Reynolds, in their possession: who have 
refused him leave! The Marquis there- 
fore must employ an academician, or be 
satisfied with Mr, L.’s.copies from other 
pictures; but Mr. Londstiale means to 
apply to his majesty, and know whethee 
the academy is an exclusive monopoly, or 
intended for the benefit of the public at 
large, and of the fine arts —« They ma-_
