us particularly as work Of great merit; It IS one


of those quiet everyday which the lovers OF
the arts so much admire in the Paintings of Ruys-

its surface, the partly obscured by cloud,
yet leaving its rays dancing upon the waves, with
the western shores of the river melting into the
distance, altogether presented one OF those simple

pleasure Mr. DuRASD's View in the Apprentices

are well drawn and give great animation to the


scene; and its distance presents striking view OF
those cold and treeess ranges of mountains. Mr.

this little gem. Mr.. YER BaYcK's picture, One
shall be taken and the other left, is full of senti-
ment and poetry. We have read some very beau
tfu lines published some time since IN the
Churchman, upon this picture, and we are sure
that at least portion of our readers will prize this
above all other works in the collection. Mr.. OD-

We were informed that Mr.. COLE, Mr. GREY,
and one or two other artists, arc at work on
pictures for the Association, so that altogether
there will be some thirty works OF Art distributed
among the subscribers this season. being twice, II
not thrice, as many as have been distributed before
in any one year since the Association commenced
This happy result the Committee have brought
about by the very liberal manner in which the pub

times" and the confident predictions OF lew
timid persons, tina, the Association would close its
existence with the current year.


Fer ourselves, so far from indulging in such
feelings. we have not doubted that, with ight
double the number OF subscribers
can be obtained another year, and, of course, dou
