293. The Confessional—­Pilgrims confessing in the Basilica of St. Peter’s.—­D.  Wilkie.—­An interesting picture, though not equal to others by the same artist, in the present exhibition.

322. Hadleigh Castle.  The mouth of the Thames—­morning after a stormy night—­J.  Constable—­The picturesque beauty of this scene is spoiled by the spotty “manner of the artist.”

352. Coronation of the Remains of Ines de Castro.—­G.  St. Evie.—­An attractive picture of one of the most extraordinary scenes in history.  The remains of Dona Ines de Castro taken out of her tomb six years after the interment, when she was proclaimed queen of Portugal.  This is an illustration of Mrs. Hemans’s beautiful lines which we quoted in a recent number of the MIRROR.

455. Portrait of Mrs. Locke, sen.—­Sir T. Lawrence.—­A Reubens-like portrait of a benevolent lady, and which we take to be an excellent likeness.

592. Portrait of John Parker, Esq. on his favourite horse Coroner, with the Worcestershire fox hounds.—­T.  Woodward.—­We can relate a curious circumstance connected with this picture.  While in the room, a country gentleman and his lady inquired of us the subject—­we turned to the number in the Catalogue, and gave him the desired information.  “Ah,” said he, “I was sure it was Parker, and told my wife the same, although I was not previously aware of his portrait being in the Exhibition.”  We should think the resemblance must be very striking.

The Antique Academy is almost covered with portraits, and the miniatures hang in cluster-like abundance—­so that what with bright eyes and luxuriant tresses, this is not the least attractive of the rooms.

In the Library are several fine architectural drawings; among which is a view of Chatsworth, by Sir J. Wyatville, including, as we suppose, all the magnificent additions and improvements, now in progress there.  Mr. Soane’s Designs for entrances to the Parks and the western part of London, (which we alluded to in our No. 360,) are likewise here.

In the Model Academy, Messrs. Chantrey and Westmacott have some fine groups, and Behnes three fine busts—­the Duke of Cumberland, Princess Victoria, and Lady Eliz.  Gower.

It would be easy to extend this notice through the present and next number, but as other matters press, and as all the town go to Somerset House, we hope this notice will be sufficient; for it is not in our power to enumerate half the fine pictures in the Exhibition, much as we rejoice at this flourishing prospect of British art.
