The usual exhibition of pictures selected by the prizeholders of
the Art-Union of London was opened on Monday. There are about 150 pictures, of, which the choicest are " Tantallon Castle," by J. Byer; an English pastoral, by H. B. Willis, (the 2001. prize); " Morning, by H. J. Boddington ; " Summer," by W. W. Gosling ; " Interior of the Cathedral at Cefalu," by Carl Werner ; "Mountain Gloom," by A. P. Newton; and Mr. Durham's statuette, " Chastity." The prize outlines, of which there are 42 sets by anonymous competitors, in illustration of Tennyson's "Idylls of the King," the subject given by the Society ; form a very interesting part of the exhibition, and at least four sets are worthy of the two premiums. The award is not yet announced. Eleven works in sculpture (models) appear in competition for the two prizes in this department of art.
