THE QUEE]i'S VISIT TO JERSEY.

A series of drawings to commemorate the Queen's visit to Jersey are ex- hibited at Mr. Hogarth's print-shop in the Haymarket. They are executed by M. Le Capelain; and are twenty-six in number. Most of them are simply views characteristic of the island scenery; in some, figures are in- troduced; but in only one do the figures form a prominent feature in the design. The subjects, with the lovely bays, and Orgueil Castle seen in different views on its rocky pedestal, are beautiful; and so may the drawings be called, though disfigured by weaknesses. The artist's manner is one of excessive smoothness, yet the forms are too vaguely indicated: it is the beau ideal of the drawing-master style. The drawings have been presented to the Queen.
