Our attention has been directed to this Act and its conwnneneen by an intelligent solicitor, who observes: "You would afford valuable information to a v er y large portion of One polite giving, in your quotation front the London Gne. tie, the applications to the Inelosure Commissioner for Inane of money under this act. The act provides no other notice than the Gazette to m or t pgees an d ot h ers I nst i ll , Amur' on lands, who may he seriously affected by the operation of the act, which gives priority over them to money borrow, d under it ; and, of course, not one in 500 of those persons reads the Gazette." The necessity, under these circumstances, of more extensive publication is obvious ; end we shall mu ply with the euggestione o f our correspon d ent, and hereupon give the particular. In the meantime, we think it advitsable to give an abstract o f th e act, end the names of all parties m the three kingdoms who have taken advantage of it. The Drainage Act of the last session of revilement (9 and 10 Viet., c. 101) woe pawed to authorise an ad noon' of public money to improve l an d in Great Britain end It land by works of drainage. It authorises the 'freasury, on the application of Commissioner), to advance ou t o f th e C onso lid ate d F un d, or by Exchequer Bills, a sum not exceeding 2,000,0001. fur Great Britain, and 1,000,0001. for Ireland. to be applied to this pnrposte. Before the advances of money are made the works proposed are to be sanctioned by the Treerurv. The Inclosure Commiisiouers under 8 and 9 Viet., c. 118, are to be the commissioners under this act in Great Britain, with power to appoint and remove assistant commissionerand surveyors; and all allowances end ex sinners of Public \Y or k s ca per-sea are to he regulated by that statute : while the commis in Ireland are to aint officers for the execution of this act in that country. An inspection is to be ma d e b y an assistant commitesinn, ppo r or surveyor, who is to report his opinion whether the proposed drainage will effect an improvement its the annual value of the land exceeding the yearly amount charged on is for the re payment of the advance made. If the commissioners think an advance expedient, t hey may issue (with the sanction of the treasury) a provisional certificate, which shall declare that the works have been executed in a durable and suistantial man ner, according to the plans of their engineers or survevors, and certify their opinion that such an advance of the actu el ex penses of the drainage than be made (not exceeding the whole amount required) as they shall recommend ; and when it is shown to them that part of the works are executed they will certify an advance on neeount in respect of the works so completed, not exceeding two-thirds of the sum actually expended. Before, bower, r, the provisional certificate is issued, two months' noti ce o f th e app li cat i on mus t be given by advertisement, in two nucresive week., in some newspaper circulating in the district where the lends are enuated, and in the Gazette, to es to enable any person having an estate or char e on the land to dissent in writing to the application, nor can any rec tifies., issue until such dissent is withdrawn, or an ord r authorising the applicant to procure an advance be m ode by the ad vance Courts of Chancery in England and Ireland, and the Court of Session in Scotland ; and the owners are authorised to make application for such an order, and the ropy of the petition to these courts must be served on the person dissenting fourteen days before the hearing of the application. But no order of court is neceesary unless dissent shall have been nified within the two months in which notice in given by advertisement. In the eate of glebe lands, the consent of the patron nr ordinary is necessary. AU guardians, trusts en, committees of lunatics, curatorsof m weird women. executors, admini teeters, he., are empowered to make such applicatnns for advances in their official character as ii the estates were vested in them in their own eght ; but they are not ob li gee] to signify dissent to any sitptication, or be in any wise to pensible 'or the con s quences of such u policetion or the charge made toe account of it When the c imenistioners are satisfied that the works have been duly lief:teed thy are tc forward a o rtilictte to the treasury recommending an advance of money on account for the expense Ill.tUfl lv incurred, eating the 1 old on which the advance is to he mane; a duplicate of which certificate is to be given to th- owner of the land, and the Comptroller-General of 'he Exchequer shall issue Exchequer bit's on the wale of which the Banks of Eng and and Ireland will bo ordered to pry the sums in question to the parties spice. ed. In Ireland the reports of surveyors &e., and the certificate must seecify eh • denomination of the lands, a..d in what barony and county they are sitnate, and a memorial of the certificate is to he registered in the Register-office, Dublin. The commissioners are empowered to nen Exchequer bills issued for their acconnt and place the produce to the drainage advances and repayme t account in the Banks of England and Ire'and ; and an account of all advances to be pt by the eommissionere of stamps and tours. de'it:na the 'and on which it is edvaneed with the 'mount, and crediting it by such ientehargeao shall from time to time he received. A rent.eherre (481. 10s , payable in 22 years, is to be charged fur every 100/. advanc-d, which is to be recoverable by the commissioners of stamp , and thew in the same manner as the rent-charge in lieu of tithes is recoverable under the Tithe Commutation Act (8 and 9 Wil. IV. c. 71) in E, gland and in Ireland in the same manner as tithes are recoverable under the set for abolishine compositions IV., tithe; and substituting rent-charges far them (1 and 2 Vie., c. 109), while in Scotland they may be r covered in the same manner as ft wiliities or rent, or otrer payments payab'e to the Queen are recovered, but subsequent in ceder of charge to such feu-duties. The advances under this act are not to ha construed as a contravention of any condi-inns of entail of estates in Sc-,tland ; nor is the rent charge to be considered such en incumbrance as to preclu ietrnstees from inveoting money held by them intrust in the mortgage or purchase of the land so charged Tenants for life, and other., having limited interest,' in the land charged, are bound as between thernee'ves, and parties entitled in remainder or reversion, to pay the rent-charges during the continuance of their interest, and pert of the half year due next before its terminetion,—ant au-h pennons are to maintain the drains and out-falls, and in case of neglict are liable to an action for waste at the suit of the person next entitled. Any tenant or occupier of land to bo improved may agree to pay the rent-charge or any part of it, and deduct the amount from the rent to be paid by him, and if the tenant or occupier thinks fit, the proportion of the rent-charge to be paid by him may be settled by the commis sioners, who shall give a certificate of such arrangement, a copy of which is to he deposited with clerks of the peace for counties, and another to be delivered to the tenant, with a notice requiring that. if he objects to it, he must give notice of his objections within three weeks of the service, at such place as the notice of the commissioners directs, and one of the commissioner will attend at the time and place specified in a month afterwards, examine into the objection, and settle and • ign the certificate, which is then final as regards the proportions to be paid by the tenant. The rent-charges are to be collected by the collectors of the Land and Assessed Taxes in Great Britain, and of Excise in Ireland. Where there are separate farms on the land charged, or it has become the property of separate owners, or is held under different titles, or for distinct interests, the commissioners have power so to apportion the rent-charges that they may b, charged on each separate farm, &c., but so that no rent-charge shall be less than 20s ; and the commissioners are to tran.mit their order of apportionment to the commissioner of stamp+ and taxes, on collectors of excise, that they mar be levied accordingly. Any landowner may, within twenty year., redeem his rent-charge (ant being less than 101. annually), by payment of the aggregate amount of the heltyearly payments not due, a discount of 31. 10s. being allowed ; and the commumoners shall give a certificate of such red mption. Such monies are to be paid to the Receiver-General, to be applied in the same manner as the other rent-charges. The Treasury are to cause tables of rates of redemption to he framed. The commissioners are anthorieed to make an order for the repayment, by the owner of land, of the expenses of the investigation of an application for advance of money and the itemection of the progress of the works, which has been previbualy paid by them, at ouch time and in such manner as they may direct. No bond or other security given to the commissioners is to be liable to stamp duty. The commissioner and the Receiver General . of Stamps and Taxes are required to make up an annual account, to the 31st of March in every year, of the amount of credets of the Exchequer funds or bills placed to their account in the Bank of England, end of the sums issued as loans, and of repayments on account of such loans, and deliver them to the auditors of public accounts.

EDINBURGH, JAN. 16. In the absence of more elaborate data respecting the distress in the Highlands, we must have recourse to the statistics of Dr. McLeod, a gentleman whose intimate ersonal acquaintance with those districts entitles hi m to confidence. He estimates the gross Highland population at 400,000, and conceives that of these 100,000 are in such circumstances as not to be affected by current casualties. Of the remaining 300,000, one half may be regarded as mainly depen quantity named of that particular food would amount to about 1,000,000/. This is appalling enough, but other things bet-ides meal would of course be required, and above ull things seal for next crop cannot be overlooked. However, the evil in all its horrors really exists, and must be fairly met in the face if we are at all to surmount the difficulty. Of the 312,0191. 19s. ld. applied for by Scottish proprietors under the Drainage Act, about 150,0001. will full to the Highlands, and so fur the expenditure of such sums will lighten the burden. The opinion is gaining ground here, that this act should be expanded into a general Land Improvement Act, embracing trenching, fencing, and other requisites of rural cultivation as well as draining. In reporting on the Act the directors of the Highland Society suggested certain amendments to be provided by an I amended act, or to be acted on by the commissioners in carrying the Act into operation. These were: 1. The expense of the machinery devised to secure the provisions of the act—by the production of plans, ape:idea tion' and estimates of the works to be performed, and the subsequent superintendence. 2. The advance to be home by the proprietor until the works xre completed. 3. That trenching, as a necessary accompaniment to the draining of uncultivate i land., which are to be rendered arable, should specially fall under the provisions of the act. 4. That pro vision should be made for securing a right of outfall through adjoining and lower properties. These suggestions have been so favourably received by the comnussioners that they will likely be acted i on. _ _ . -•••• The Edinburgh committee are afraid that the method adored in England of collecting for Irish and Scotch destitution, at one and the same time, may lead to some misunderstanding when the amount comes to be divided; and they suggest that there should be two separate funds. The amount collected by the Edinburgh Committee up to this date is 16,00.1/. 13s. 3d. ST. Avintew's.—Arrangements have ben concluded fee the erection of several handsome crescents and terraces on very eligible sites. which have been procured on property purchased from Colonel llalcroft and Lady Anstruiher, and which afford commanding views of both marine and inland scenery scarcely to be surpassed in Scotland. Operations are to be commenced early in the Spring. PROVINCIAL. A MEETING IN Fisvoun OP OPENING THE PORTE was called rat Manchester on Friday night, which led to an ex traordinary scene. The meeting had been called in the Town-hall, at seven o'clock, in • room capable of holding probably 2,000 people, but the door IMP besieged before six o'clock with applicants for admission, at least equal to its capability of accommodation , and by seven nit only was the room densely crowded, but many thousands were col lected in King stmt , Cross - street , and other approaches. The steps of the Loll and the colonnade were also crowded with people, together with the lobby and staircase, and thus the pressure from without at one time was so great that it was thought serious consequences must ensue. In this state of things the parties holding the meeting determined to divide their forces, and have an open air assemblage, in addition to the meeting within doors—a course which mgt with the ap probation of the superintendent of police, who directed • number of officers to keep the street clear of carriages and other means of disturbince. Outside the hall, Mr.A.Heywood, bookseller, was celled upon to preside, and inside Mr. J.Watts, draper, took the chair. The same memorial was adopted at both meetings. It set forth the great distress , and starva tion existing throughout the country, and more especially in this neighbourhood, in consequence of the dearness of food and the general want of employmetit, and called upon government to remove the remaining duty of 4s. upon corn, and to suspend the navigation laws. The speakers detailed some eases of frightful distress, and it was stated that amongst other trades which were suffering, at least two thousand people belong to the fustian cutters and hatters were out of employ. The memorial was carried unani mously in both meetings. The meeting in the hall lasted nearly four hours, and when a great number of persons had left it. alter the carrying of the memorial, a Chartist moved a resolution, and succeeded in carrying it, calling upon government eo inquire into the conduct of individuals said to be employed in forestalling the markets and buying up corn. The meeting, or meetings, presented a marked cousrast with the gathering which took place in the Town-hall. three months ago, for the purpose of memo rialising government to open the ports. Then, the pressure of scarcity had not begun to be felt here, and was only seen in the distance ; now, it is present, and its hideous and dreaded features have been seen by thousands At the former meeting, the hall was barely filled ; on the present occasion three such buildings would hot have" held the numbers presenting themselves for admission. It has been said that these famine meetings of the north are dreaded by all thinking men in other parts of the kingdom; and, certainly, any stranger witnessing the meetings on Fri day night must have gone away with a mind deeply, if not fearfully, impressed with the scenes they presented. It is right to state, prhaps, that the meetings were only ad dressed by working men, and that the l ea de n of the late League took no part in them. YORKSHIRE. A MURDER MAE BEEN COMMITTED AT SHEFFIELD, the perpetrators of which are at present undiscovered. It appears that yesterday week, a respectable tobacconist named Riley had been drinking at the Newmarket Hotel in that town, and left the inn late at night on his way home, when he was attacked and robbed by three men, and so severely beatee that he died on Saturday-last.

TIIR PICTURES IN TII E NATIONAL GALL ERE. — We return to the subject of the alleged injury done to the pictures in the National Gellery by elcanint. and t .ke, as we have promised, the" Peace and War" of Ruben. for our example. The removal of glinting* end body-colour—the malionity of skinning—the tli.turb ince of gradation and subordination.—and the subversion of the laws of aerial per hpec: ye—have been familiar charges for some months past in the earn of that public wh.ch reads the Times. One critic seeks to frig`iten his audience by learnedly denouncing to them the loss of that luminous colour and aerial perspective which can be produced by glazing only—.r compliment on his part to the.r assumed ignorance (it it he not a piece of ignorance of his own), which odds pleasantly to the other ingredients i that compose the animus of his accusations. The effect of glaxings, as many of them can inform Mr. Coniogham, is rather to subdue that luminous colour and approximate the aerial distances. Before enquiring if this great picture of Rubens be really injured— as now sk ca for the first lane in this country as it came from the master's mind and hands—a few partied .rs relating to its history will be interesting to our readers. . . . It is first mentioned in Vanderdoort's "Catalogue of Charles the First's Pictures" (published in 17.17, front an original MS. in the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford), page 86 : • No. 13. Item. The picture of an emblem, wherein the differenoe and advantage between peace and war are showed, which Sir Peter Paul Ruben., when he was here in England, did paint, and:presented it himself to the king, containing some nine figures." The measure is given 9 ft. 11 in. by 6 it. 8 in. It now measures 9 ft. 81 in. by 6 ft. 54 in. to the actual sight. Vanderdoort's supplementary inches may be the canvass beneath the frame, In page 3cf the same catalogue, we read—" Peace and Plenty,' with many figures se big as the life, by Ruhens, appraised at and sold for 1001." This was after the king's death. Rubens appears to have been in England about nine months, from) the beginning of June, 1629, to the latter end of February in the following year. (See the second part of Kugler's Band-book of Painting," p. 236, note by the editor. Sir E. Head.) According to the above extract from the catalogue, therefore, the picture was painted in that interval. —lt next appears in the possession of Prince Doris, at Genoa. Mr. Irvine, acting for Mr. Buchanan and others, purchased it there in 1802, for 1,1001. Mr. Irvine writes (Genoa, Ist Oct., 1802) : " It is an allegory that Ruben. has repeated in , another picture, but composed differently, and of which there is a modern print, engraved by one Henriques ; but I greatly prefer this. . . . . It is known in Genoa by the name of ' Ituberts . Family.' " (.' Buchanan's Memoirs of Painting," vol. 2, p. 107, and vol. i., pp. 172-176.) Mr. Bu chanan adds that on its arrival in England, the picture was re-lined, as advised be Mr. Irvine; and on taking away a former canvass nn which it had been lined, the Royal crown of England, with the letters " C. R." in )arse characters, were found on the back of original canvas." (lb. vol. ii., p. 109.) It was sold by Mr. Buchanan for 3,000 guineas, to the Mar quis of Stafford, by whom it was presented to the National Gallery, in 1827. The canvass of this picture has been enlarged on se : etre! aides. The principal portion, on which the main subject is represented, was evidently not large enough to contain the figures originally designed thereon ; so that the increase in the dimensions cannot be supposed to have taken place after it was presented to Charles I. The charming portraits are not of Rubella' children—nor of the m' , narch's, for no daughters were born to either, at the time when this picture is said to have been painted. Ruben, had two sons, but no daughters, by his first wife; and married his second wife after this picture was painted. It does not appear how this picture got its title of" Ruben.' Family." Wherever the similar picture engraved by Henriques may be, to which Mr. Irvine alludes, it maT safely bo concluded that the one in the National Gallery is no repetition. No duplicate is ever painted on pieces of canvass stitched on to eke out a composition. It is worth,' of remark that the centre picture is painted on a dark ground—a very minimal mode of • • •mwding with Rubella. This is apparent, among other • • .10' *OM the dark outlines left next the princi pal kmmt In ' the piece addel on the ;eft side, the addi tional figured= to .be painted on a light ground. It may give a of how musk of all those fine emends' charaetors maks the individuality of true genius most of areenty be sonosslat beneath that veil which time draws over the oil painting as surely se he grows the lichen on the grave—to state that this fact of the different ground shades, as well as that of the patched canvass, ro conspicuous now, were not seen nor suspected before their cleaning. What as be the value of a picture sitting under a cloud which could conceal a grow materiality like this last? The inferences in favour of the national officers and of the safety of the pictures entrusted to their charge, can be pro perly confirmed only by an examination of the works them selves, conducted es part of an inquiry into the maser in which the masters represented by them wrought. It is ob viously desirable, we nipper, that the nisesers of different colourists should not be reduced to a unions tone; and woe to the operator, who would treat a herd balsa pique r he might a Ce y p.

These ii-teresting documents prove, beyond all question, that nothing could be too height for Rube... fie could not bear" a little" yellowing in his whites, and was ao shins that the extreme aeshness of his carnations should he unimpaired by the rising of the oil. Of the pictures which he rent to Sir Dudley Carlton some may lie still in England. Wherever they are, they might, on Holistic's own word, be entirely stripped of their brown varnish; and if the l'itti picture could be restored to a state that would exhibit the whites with the least potisible degree of yellowness remainiag,itts equally certain that it would be more 1 ke what the master intended it to be. On these grounds,—the safest on which criticism can he founded, —we express our di liberate opinion that as regards the mere brielitness of the all, gory of Peace and War in the National Gallciy, there is not th, slightest reason to suppose that anything has been removed which the master left. And here let us offer a remediable and beautiful example at once of the necessity of this cli ening. the skill with which it has been done, and the hardness of the vehicle in which Rubens wrought. It presents an infallible test to those who desire to judge honestly if any injury has been dune to the picture----and might alone be a sufficient answer to the objector.. Let such look at the fine and perfect line formed by the jet of milk pressed from the bosom of the principal figure. Here is • beauty which was scarcely visible before the picture was cleaned. When we saw it in its freshness after the cleaning, for a m'.m nt we fancied that it might have been restored—in the more objectionable sense of the word. On touching it with the nail, we found it as hard as a flint —We are far from wishing to apply the criterion of Ruben, to other schools—or to every master of his owe school: but the evidence above adduced respecting the original freshness of his works is, we COCCI ive, irresistable. A private collector may, if he phase., have • gallery of brown pictures: but the purpose of • national collection, if it is to exist at all, is to exhibit the characteristics of different masters;—not merely their modes of inventing and groupiug—not merely their designs reduced to • uniform tint—but their varieties of taste in colour. To critics who have not attended to these saritties, a picture by such a painter as Rubens, when tolerably like its original state, looks overcleaned. We have spoken of the effect of accumu lated varnishes. We hear of a picture in the National Gallery (the large Paul Veronese, in the great room), which arrived in this country, imported by Do la liante, a silvery picture. It was seen, and while alone was admired, in this state. But as soon as it was Mina up with old pictures (before it was in the national collection), it was found to be too crude ; sad wag covered—with what—with varnish t no, but with several washes of liquorice water—and this "lazing " remains on it still. Boschini, a Venetian painter and well known writer (who heard the methods of the great Venetian masters described by those who had lived with them t in his Rieehe Minere della Pillars Veneziano (Intraduzone) makes this remarkable observation "He (P. Veronese) never glazed any drapery of whatever colour; so that, seeing in a picture attributed to him a glazed drapery, it is necessary to consider it very attentively so as not to be de mind." We repeat, we quarrel not with tastes. A picture may eft may not be imp:treed in the eye* of some persons by such treatment ; hut we desire, above all, to see each master like himself. Here is an instance of a fine work by a Venetian painter who is celebrated for hispearLlike freshntes, reduced, or raised—no meter which—to a level with painters of a totally different style in colour. In thence of the " l'eace and War," thedegree of warmth and harmony which is desirable is sure to be attained as the varnish yellows:—the right point of mellowness will, unfor tunately, be too soon overpaid. In six or twelve months from this time, the allegory of " Peace and War" will have ae quired the plow which some may think it wants.—There is a ease exactly in point for the critics. Few people are aware that the *torso( the " Brazen Serpent," by Rubern, on the opposite aide of the tame room in which hangs the " Peace and War" was cleaned two years ego. It was never quite finished by the Master; and there was scarcely • particle of Taxing on it. The brown varnish was retnized without mercy: and many exclaimed that the picture was overclesned —was stripped. It is now pointed out as one of the finest examples of tone in the Gallery. On the whole, this discussion hag not bees without its is and the parties who have descended to scurrility will finally have their reward. The question, divested of arbitrary and onsosided dogmas, is now fairly before the public s—and, for tunately fur the muse of real knowiedge it art, evident* which deserves the name will always command assent. lithlSK.
