The collection now on the eve of being restored to the Chambers whence it was derived, is one of a very mixed nature. It boasts some admirable pictures; and it displays some which neither do honour to the painters, nor credit to the country. For in such matters it ought never to be forgotten that foreigners who visit our capital, invariably look to these exhibitions as the best which native genius can produce; and that on the careful examination of all works seeking admission, depends not only the character of individuals, but the national pretensions. In this point of view it must, we imagine, be acknowledged that the present is by no means a favourable representation of our cause. When we remember the works formerly exhibited in the same rooms, of Reynolds, of Wilson, of Hogarth, and of Gainsborough, we can scarcely look with patience, even on a few of the best of their productions in this gallery They afford little ground for asserting the extraordinary merits of any of these great painters, or the superiority of the British School, but must on the contrary depreciate both in public estimation. The specimens of Runciman, Hamilton, and one or two others, are also below the standard of these artists. Some have The gallery of pictures by deceased found place who had no title to the disBritish Artists, contributed by their pos- tinction, and others have either been sessors, and opened by this Institution in overlooked, or were not to be obtained, furtherance of their design to stimulate whose talents would have adorned the living Artists by example, to form a temple of departed genius.

Different foreign Journals speak with enthusiasm of the talent of this astonishing Lady, and the effect which her representations every where produce. A French paper contains the following observations on her performances:→ "Much has been said of the wonderful effects of the pantomimic art among the RoVa-mans, who styled it a mute music more expressive than spoken or written language. In ancient times, however, the art was limited to mere attitude without any variety of physiognomical expression, for masks were worn by pantomimic performers as well as all other Roman actors. Madame Hendel Schutz, by a profound study of the models of antiquity, and an intimacy with the most distinguished men of learning and artists in Germany, has so developed and perfected her natural powers, that she now exercises the art of pantomime with a degree of superiority of which the ancients never formed and De Apoplexia Sanguinea Enteritide Plegmono dea Phrenitide Cholera Morbo Febre Intermittente Febre Bulamense, &c. Tetano Pertussi Fungo Hæmatode &c. "Lady Hamilton, in whom various kinds of celebrity were combined, was the only individual who within our recollection has successfully cultivated pantomime; but existing antique models were always the objects of her representations. "Madame Hendel Schutz brings before the eyes of the spectator the characteristic expression of ancient and modern plastic; that is to say, she represents the Egyptian, Greek, Italian styles, &c. But her attitudes are not mere imitations; she invents, and instead of painting simple fragmentory attitudes, she developes progressive actions of her own composition. She expresses, in the Grecian style, the fable of the Statue animated by Pygmalion, that of Psyche recognizing Cupid, &c.; and passing from profane to sacred subjects, she represents in the Italian style, the sinful, penitent, pious and expiring Mag dalen.
