No. 267. Rural Breakfast.-W. M. Craig,

On Monday the 21st ult. the Members of
the Cambridge Philosophical Society held
their first general meeting for the present
year, in the great lecture room of the Phy-
sical Schools, in the Botanic Garden; when
the following communications were read,
viz. a paper, by the President, upon Isome
trical Perspective, a paper, by Dr. Thack-sembling a bullock's hide just drawn from a
eray, upon a remarkable mineralized organic tan-pit. This is the blemish of an otherwise

were announced; the reading of which was
unavoidably postponed until the next meet-
ing of the society.

Among these are the Sketch for the White Horse and his legions, &c. Elisha raising the Shunamite's Son, Elijah raising the Widow's Son, and other pictures by the venerable president, which have been long before the eyes of the public. We doubt whether their exhibition in such numbers is consistent with the declared objects of the Institution; but the Directors probably reconciled to their minds the rejection of the works of young and emulous artists to make room for these pieces, by the consideration that, being among the foremost productions of Mr. West's pallet, they would be attractive to the public, and thus augment the funds for the encouragement of rising merit. We need not go into any critical remarks on these able pictures, the spirit of some of which, and the graceful composition of all, render them worthy of being closely studied.

No. 212. Devotion, a Study from Nature,

Roman costume :-J. Jackson, R. A.

If the whole business of life were to eat, this would be full of life's business. We never witnessed so much stuffing in so small a compass: man, woman, child, babies at breasts, dogs, cats, all animate nature at relentless feed. It occurs to us as an odd thing, that all this artist's pictures which we remember, are devoted to gastronomy-apo plexy, cook-shops, &c. as if inspired by his stomach instead of his brain. In this instance, the frame is as full of figures as the frames of the figures are full of meat; there is no empty place in either "to be let." The story is overloaded rather than well told. No. 4.

In this instance, as well as in many others, the choice of subject has been made in order to display the peculiar skill of the painter, and to exhibit his powers under a form similar to those of the old masters; but in which his practice and his admirers are but too likely to be limited in extent and numbers. A modern pugilist or pugilists might have insured the attention of the fancy; as it is, the British School of Design alone, we fear, will appreciate his services, and consider him as having contributed to its improvement and celebrity.

No. 253.-View of Snowdon, from Mount Grynant, Caernarvonshire. - Copley Fielding.

We select this from several very clever performances, to express the gratification we always feel at the exalted style with which Mr. Fielding clothes the scenery of his native land.

In effect and execution, the view of Snowdon exhibits the sublime and classic of art, in which the locality of the scene unites with the poetry of the imagination.

No. 262. Grove Scene.-J. Stark. Turning from the sublime to the natural, we are equally touched by the character of truth and simplicity which appears in this well-chosen scene. The observer of nature and the admirer of art will feel all that belongs to the talents of Mr. Stark, as much as could be excited by any eulogiums to point out his merit.

No. 238. Lear and the Fool-J. Boaden. It is difficult even for the experienced eye to judge of pictures placed in certain situations, more especially when elevated and near the light: the lot, however, of this inconveniency must, notwithstanding their merit, fall to some and, as if the artist had calculated upon this lottery-chance being his, he has painted up to the tone of his elevation; and, we may add, in a style and character we have seldom seen equalled, either for boldness of pencil, harmony of colour, or strength of expression. This work reminds us of the powers of Carravaggio, without his blackness; and we think we may (though it is not always safe to anticipate the success of a rising artist) congratulate Mr. Boaden upon his performance, and express our conviction that he will one day find the level he deserves. The place assigned to his Richard Cœur de Lion, No. 55, shows what effect might have been expected from the Lear, in a similar situation.

ORIGINAL POETRY.

MIDSUMMER MADNESS.
Now would I that I might cast me in the sea
And perish not.-Great Neptune! I would be
Advanced to the freedom of the main,
And stand before your vast creation's plain,
And roam your watery kingdom thro' and thro',
And see your branching woods and palace blue,
Spar built and domed with crystal, oh! and
view

The bedded wonders of the lonely deep,
And where on coral banks the Sea-maids sleep,

Children of ancient Nereus, and behold
Their streaming dance about their father old
Beneath the blue Ægean, where he sate
Wedded to prophecy, and full of fate :
Or rather as Arion harped, indeed,
Over the billows, and, triumphing there,
Would I go floating on my dolphin-steed
Call the white Siren from her cave, to share
My joy, and kiss her willing forehead fair.

Would they know the proud eagle that soared thro' the skies,

Whose glance lightened over a terror struck world?

Yet e'en in disgrace, in thy sadness and gloom,
An halo of splendour is over thee cast:
It is but the death-light that reddens the tomb,
And calls to remembrance the glories long past.

Once on a time, in solemn state,
The Vices held a grand debate,
To choose a Ruler of their race
Who of them all was found most base,
The day arrived, and in the Hall
Of Meeting now was silence all:-

Ambition started from his seat,
And raised himself upon his feet;
His giant form was seen on high,
Vast, as if meant t' invade the sky;

His voice like the dread whirlwind broke On the stunn'd ear, and thus he spoke"If any rival dared contend

With me the palm, now let him bend
Before me, and in this dread hour
Acknowledge my superior power.
It would be vain to enumerate
The services I've done the state;
How from the lowest stage of need,
To giddy height, frail man I lead;
And thence, midst visions fleeting, bright,
Dash him to pieces in my might!"
He ceased their acclamations rend
The roof, and to the heavens ascend.

Envy from the crowd now stalk'd-
The firm ground trembled as she walk'd;
Pale was her face, and her grey hair
Stream'd loosely in the troubled air;
Her step was solemn, cautious, wild,
Her visage one that never smil'd;
No one dared meet her piercing eye,
That gleam'd in rankling misery:
"Hear me," she cried; "my dreadful dart
Lies festering in each human heart;
Were't not for me, mankind would know
All happiness where now is woe:
Were't not for me, to mete them pain,
Your toils and snares were urged in vain;
Therefore on me confer the bay,
And all the honours of the day.'
She spoke.-Impatient from his seat
Malice arose with direful heat;
He cast around his eager eye
And scem seek a rival nigh-
As if no timid Vice durst brook
The triumph of that horrid look.-
With scowling glance that flash'd with fire,
And countenance replete with ire,

Revenge leapt up-immediate to his place
Malice retir'd'asham'd of his disgrace.
"I thought that when was heard my name,
My station felt, and glorious fame,
Thou'dst grant without a moment's pause,
To me this prize, and thy applause.
Remark ye how the human race
Their hopes must yield before my face?
What is a thing unless 'tis done?
'Tis 1 complete what Envy has begun!"

"Twere tedious to relate the names
Of Vices, and their various claims,
Who tried to gain the laurel green,
For deeds of blood, or acts obscene:
But last of all, in thoughtful mood,
Uprose that wretch, Ingratitude.
Malice, Revenge, and Envy too,
Blush'd as his features met their view-
"Aye since this earthly ball was made,
It has been curs'd with my foul shade;
I enter'd first the human breast;
And since then ever did I rest?
I fill the world with ev'ry ill;
"Twas I first taught fierce Man to kill,
I now appeal to all of you-
What harm, without me, could you do?"

The Vices then, without delay,
Grant him the sceptre, crown, and bay.

SONG,

A lightsome heart, and a sparkling eye,
To light my steps where'er I rove,
And a friendly cup, and a cloudless sky,
Are what I love are what I love.
Then let the sage one soar,
Laurel fresh to gather;
But what can he wish more,
Who has all these together?

Then hey my pretty lassie, U!
Hey, my pretty lassie, O!
Whene'er to thee

I drink, you see,
I fill my deepest glassic, O!
My heart with joy, and my cup with wine,
Brimful as Jupiter's bowls above,
With a glance to give it a hue divine,
From her I love-from her I love.
Then let the sage one soar, &c.

A little more spirit infused into a piece, possessing so large a share of taste, would have enhanced its effect, and rendered it incomparably the best modern work of the kind, brought forward in this country.
