s us, 'are odorous;' we cannot help remarking, however, that Mr.
GRAY'S old fellow-student, HUNTINGTON, is (_longa intervallo_) in the
advance. We prefer, of our artist's present efforts, the picture of 'His
Wife.' It has a pleasing effect, and is more finished than usual, and more
natural in tone than his 'Magdalen.'

J. T. HARRIS, A., has two pictures, and both portraits. No. 19 is the
best. It exhibits a broad, free touch, and correct drawing, and is withal
an excellent likeness. But we never look at Mr. HARRIS' works without
being impressed with the idea that they are not finished. They seem to us,
to borrow an artistical expression, as if they were in a capital state for
'glazing and toning up.' Otherwise, they are above the ordinary run of
portraits.

G. P. A. HEALY, H.--Mr. HEALY is a resident of Paris, but an American. He
is a favorite at the French court, and has by this means a reputation to
which his works generally do not entitle him. We are bound in justice to
say of his present effort, however, that it is an exceedingly fine
picture. It is boldly and masterly executed; forcibly drawn, honestly
colored, and well expressed. There is too about it a freedom from all the
usual tricks of the profession, such as a red chair, velvet collar, and
fantastic back-ground, which we particularly recommend to the attention of
young artists.

THOMAS HICKS, A., has eight pictures in the collection, but none,
excepting his portraits, which equal his former productions. No. 264, 'The
Mother's Grave,' is an oft-repeated subject, and should not be attempted
unless the artist is able to treat it with entire originality. There are
good points about it, but none sufficiently attractive to warrant
particular notice.

INGHAM, N. A., as usual has a fine collection of female portraits, all
excellent for their careful drawing, lady-like expression, and high
finish. The drapery and accessories of Mr. INGHAM'S portraits are always
wonderfully exact to nature; and this greatly enhances the value of
portraits of this description; for aside from their merit as likenesses,
they will always be valuable as pictures. His male portrait, No. 113, of
T. S. CUMMINGS, Esq., is a most admirable likeness, as well as a
highly-wrought and masterly-painted picture. No. 239, 'Portrait of a
Lady,' with a fan in her hand, is our favorite among his female heads.
There is a sweetness and modesty in the expression, not only in the
countenance but in the wh
