64.  The adjourned Debate. T.  Clater. A cobbler, despite the ancient saw, ne sutor ultra crepidam, intently devouring the “folio of four pages.”

67.  The Sisters. John Wood. One of the painter’s most successful productions, and deservedly so.

74.  Diana and Actaeon.  Another of Wilson’s classic compositions of captivating loveliness, proving the painter, as Mr. Cunningham observes, to have wrought under historical and poetic influence.

80.  Portrait of the late James Perry, Esq. Lawrence. The likeness is striking, and the colouring that of a master hand.  The “head and front” bear intellectuality in an eminent degree.

82.  Henry III. of France. Bonington. One of the lamented artist’s most celebrated pictures.  The personal elegance of the sovereign, and the luxurious details of the scene are in fine keeping with the minuteness of history in these matters.

89.  The Trial Scene in the Merchant of Venice. Zoffani. With Macklin,

  —­The Jew
  That Shakspeare drew;

his daughter as Portia, in the habiliaments of “the learned lawyer;” Clark, Bensley, &c.

100.  Portrait of Bishop Hoadley. Hogarth.

102.  Banks of the Tiber. Wilson.

118 and 187.  Portraits of the Princesses Sophia and Mary, when children.

125.  Battle of Cressy. West.

137—­138—­151.  Captain Macheath—­the Grave-diggers—­and the Ghost Scene in Hamlet—­all gems in their way, by Liverseege, of Manchester; they are full of point, and so rich in promise of future excellence as to add to our regret for the premature death of the artist.

134.  The First Study for the Niobe Landscape. Wilson. Peculiarly interesting to artists.

To be continued.

EFFECTS OF FASHIONABLE MANNERS AND CUSTOMS UPON SERVANTS AND TRADESMEN.

[Much has been said of late years respecting the degeneracy of a very useful and generally respectable class of persons, termed “gentlemen’s servants;” and the unjustifiable practices of tradesmen towards people of fashion.  As is usual in hasty judgments, the many have been stigmatized with the vices of the few:  the misconduct of reckless servants has been held forth as bespeaking the habits of the whole class, and the misdealing cupidity of a few purveyors of fashionable luxuries has been set down as the almost uniform rule of conduct of the worthiest classes in the empire.  Such has been the exaggeration of a certain description of evils and abuses, which appertain rather to the manners and customs of fashionable life than to the sphere of the useful or industrious classes; and in support of this position of ours, we may be
