The Committee appeared to have been indefatigable in giving due eclat to the exhibition; the whole of the productions having been arranged with great taste, and with every disposition to set off the merits of the respective artists to the greatest advantage. Of the character of the exhibition, it was pronounced to have been first-rate, and far exceeding the expectations of its promoters. The landscapes, in oil, were regarded as the most valuable, though the productions in water-colours contained a great number of very fine specimens. The London artists seem to have contributed the great bulk. Next in order came the productions of the Norwich artists; whilst the Ipswich artists, in point of number of contributions, stood third. As regards the latter, the deficiency created no surprise, from this bein the first exhibition of the kind in Ipswich. The success of the experiment this year, will, no doubt, act as a stimulus for the future.
We shall postpone any comment upon the merits of individual works. In the meantime we present our readers with the following catalogue of productions:-
