Many of the free growing kinds, which were potted early in the season, will require larger pots, with which they should he immediately supplied, unless it is wished to flower them in their present sires, and some- I what earlier than their usual season.

Keep a moist growing atmosphere in the conservatory by fre quently sprinifling the paths, curbs, an ! other evaporating surfaces, in w :rat weather; and when syringing sprinkle well the walls of the house, that they may give off, in combination with moisture, the heat which they have received during the day. In fine weather, a little before the sun goes elf the l'elargonium house, the phew* that are Lot in dower should be siyrin,;,el, the water wad being soft, elcan, and fully as warm as the atmosphere of the house ; for, without this, the object for which it is done will he defeated, In the Orchid bona• the moisture should be moderate, unless when the we dlo:r is so line that it one accompani•.el with light and heat.

FINE ARTS. EXHILITION OF THE ROYAL ACADEMY. I (lane Nome.) Following close on the heels of tins Great Industrial Exhibition, the Royal Academy yesterday opened to private view its eighty-third annual exhibition. With the exception of W. M. Turner, who may well plead his well-won laurels in extenuation of his absence, all hare more or less furnished their quota to the present exhibition, which is one unquestion ably destined in every way to support the credit of i the British school. The most striking features seem to consist not so much in the partial prominence I of individual merits, as iu the high standatu or general i excellence. Works of an amlntious nature and large proportions are, therefore, in a decided minority ; but m the mingled historical and genre pictures we have attained a perfection and maturity unknown to our continental neighbours, who will be equally struck by the elevation to which art can be brought without the adventitious aid either of religious sentimentalism or heathen mythology. Another feature which cannot fail to strike our foreign visitors less agreeably, is the strange infatuation with which prominent positions are assigned to uninteresting individuals, and that in despite of the discouraging influence and example set by the most illustrious personage of the realm, who again this year is un represented. In her stead is offered to the gaze of her loving and faithful lieges the striking and amnia takeable likeness of Lord Brougham, who occupies the place of honour. It was, however, really too hard to make him less handsome than he is; and while willingly bearing witness to the solid and honest painting of Mr. l'ickersgill, it cannot be said that he has in any way flattered his illustrious sitter. In this, the principal or cast room, are placed con spicuously opposite to one another the large and striking canvases of Maclise and Stanfield, the sombre colouring of the one being strikingly con trasted with the singularly brilliant key of the other. Mr. .Maelise, in choosing Mr his subject " Caxton's Printing Office in the Almonry, at Weatininater" (67). seems to have hit tm an unusually felicitous sub ject for the etkrtual development of his pe culiar excellencies. Never, Since the days of the Van Eyck", has minute elaboration of detail been earned to such exquisite finish. Vet remarka ble and closely rendered as are the details of the wondrous printing mess, whether we look at its wooden frame, at the engraved wooden blocks, the images, or the type for the letter-press of the first edition of the (Mow at elle.se, they do not over power the other and main features of the composi sition. The central group is filled up by the figures of Edward IV. and his queen, to whom Caxton is offering a proof sheet ; the wondering fama of the royal progeny, and the groups of printer.' artfully Isaaneed on troth sides; are grouped In Mr. Maclises habitual masterly manner. Mr. Stanfield's " Battle of Rovereflo" in 1796 (196) is one of those richly varied, but almost fabu lous combinations of picturesque objects. As a deli neator of tie luxuriant vegetation and plessant architectural features which cluster round the base of rugged and snowahad Alps. uu one can sales Mr. Stanfield, who enlivens the scene with skilfully introduced groups , . Emerging from the shadow of a summer cloud are distmatuished the veterans; of the French republic headed by their young general. The different passages of * the sky are ad mirably managed. so as to render the mountain range effective, and to harmonise with the rugged texture of the bastion, and of the broken steps lead ing up to it. In picturing the rushing mountain stream, and mimicking the rugged texture of rough hewn stones, Mr. Stanfield has equalled his former sleights of hand. Constant to his Etvoinite authors, Shakespeare and Cervantes, Mr. Leslie gives their pages alternately central over his ft rtile fancy. As last year we were Merited to I hm Quixote and Sancho, this year it is the turner "Falstaff peraonatiug the King" 0.10). With all the habitual - charm and unatfieted grace of Mr. Leslie's works, this picture is remark able fur the warmth of its tummies and general "quality" of Mom 'somewhat akin to that of Velas coca. bat if the Spanish painter bequeathed to us faithful pictures 4.f the court of his age, Mr. Leslie amomplishea the near difficult task of bringing vividly hack to us a picture of an age of whiele few tree~ have been left behind, save those of tha poet. That these are ever ample for the purl:eats of Mr. Leslie 'a pencil, is evident. If the visage of Falstaff be somewhat familiar to us. his atti tude OS he leans int his dagger IS not ; the noble figure, and misehievints but handsome-looking Prince, is as full of character as any of this painter's former works, so is tlmt of the mirthful hostess, and the smirking courtiers. As one look, on this work, and those which have preceded it, tie Lacy is filled with a Leslian Shakspeare Gallery, witch puts utterly to shame that on which Bovdell lavished such wealth in the last century. laadseer also aspires this year to the task of poetical commentatonship. (h 37) a Titania and Bottom is equally remarkable for its poetry and its dash of humour; the infatuakd Titania 'whiles her head on the sturdy frame of Bottom. The haul of the teas, am well as the rabbits with transparent pink eyes, ridden by the diminutive Peasblossom, Cobweb, Mustard-seed, Moth, &c., seems touched with fairy brush. The larger picture by Landover,represents a collective group or - =deb: With an ox and a horse, gathered round their meal of vegetables., and beneath a porch. In spite of the title in the catalogue, which assigns to them Genovese origin, they have all the outward appear. ante of thts..e whose bells jingle on the rivals of the Papal States or over the Pyrenees. 11 the veterans, however, have trusted thenx-elves to the guidance of Shakespeare, the associates who comenext in paint of time, if not talent, have shown themselves equally anxious to take shelter beneath his capacious wings. Taking them as they come in the order of the catalogue, may first be noticed (77) " King Lear and the Fool in the Storm," by 11. Dyve; in limit ing himself to two figures in his coruposit ion, eout rary to the usual custom. Mr. I )yce has sought to bring out the contrast of character to the utmost: the daring fore-shortening of the figure as they lay stretched on the sloping sward evinces the most skil ful draughtsmanship ; indeed, the forms as well as the general scale of colour Korn to be marked out for the piecemeal work of fresco painting. The wrinkled visage and flowing silken beard of Lear is a fine embediment of impotent despair. Mr. Dyes has covered his canvas as the freseanli formerly covered their walls, which admitted of one coating of paint and no more, unless at the cost of freshness, depth, and durability. While Mr. Dvee has taken from the poetic page the furious strife of the elements, Mr. A. Elmores pencil has been steeped in time din of battle, His " Hetapur and the Fop" is by far the most perfect work that has come from his easel; not in any way trusting to the captivating graces of feminine forams, which have hitherto been his forte, this comp osition is marked by its deep feeling, by the skilful disposition of the !groups, and its rich fund of strungly-marked charne -1 ter. Every head has its distinct traits, as each pert of the composition fulfils its proper aim. The figure of the wounded ILaspur sitting on the shattered gum-carriage, and tallow in contemptuous derision towards the fop, is finely conceived. His suit of armour and its neutral greys serve as a foil to the elaborately embroidered and rose-coloured vestment of the afeminate °Moder. The group at the right side of the picture, of the I men carrying off thew wounded comrade is almost n picture in itself; little episodes in the background COURT OF EXCHEQUER—Y ESTERDAY . complete the picture.

Thus, two or three or men' tenons might have authorised the payment of the engineer's a %pm*, ; others might have authorised the appointment and payment of a secretary ; and in all such cases the members were only to lac Bailed mum to pay for those expenses which they had actuxlly authoriossl.

PARINI OF Sr. JAMES*44, WE/ITMIN.TEIt.—TIIIS LONDON IMAM% iiiirsWas a special case which came before the court from the Middles-1 tt.asions,. and the point upon which the eLeisii,n of Chi court was required was whether a literary association called the "Lon- . don Library,' 11111.1 hal& to Le rated tau' too more of the poor, or whether it was exemoted by the pro.isions of the 6 6: 7 Vic., cap. 36, which exempted societies which were form .s 1 for the marls.• or pr...ntio s literature, —0.,....., or me nee ruts from the payment of poor rates. It ap;:eard that the uppella LL ts , the Earl of Clarendon, the Earl of Devon, on . Philip Posey, Esq., were the trustet a of the London Library, %hilt society occupied No. 12, St. James'sospiare, and that the object of the society oas to allow its memlwri either to read books at their own houses or at the library itself. It appeared that part of the pr : wises in St. Jamcs'soluare were undsrlet to other societies, the Philological &slay being tenants to the London Library at a rental of 1501. per annum, and the statistical S.tht, twin! also tenants and paying a rent of 3111. in year. Beside- these too soeieties there s on a third society, who occupied premises under the Loudon Library, called the Ilukalyt Society, the object of which soci e ty was t o print And ..4:11 rare ataireiginal English and foreign books. Mr. Serj. ant ('hanuell (Mr. D. 1). Keane was with him) now conteudesl that the London Library was liable to pay poor rate:. The learned serjeunt sulnintted that the Lou don Library was not an associatiou within the meanin it of 6 if: 7 Vie., cap. 31. It was not altog , ther a society formed for the purp, of advancing the intents of literature, be cause t h e books were read by the members for their atuns, went. Another r.stson why the London Library could 7of be considered to bo within the meaning of the act of par liament was, because three other societies held part of the premises, which had been let to tit. as by the London Li brary, and the certitieate of Mr. Tidd Pratt, the barrister, that these then other societies were societies that came within the meaning of the act of parliament had nut be u obtained. To entitle the London Library to the exemption which it sought he (Mr. Serjeant Chairmen) submitted that the whole of the premixes should have been occupied by the London Library, and that a portion }wing let out to societies which had not obtained the nee e ssary cer tifi ca t e front Mr. Tidd Pratt, prevented the London Library front Is hist exempted from the payment of poor rates. lc impport of his argument the learned serjeant cited acveral au thorities, amongst other, the judgment of the Court of Qucet's Bench in the r3Sl` of " The Queen v. Brandt," which was the cast of the Manehester Amateur Con eert-rooms. The h anted serjeaut also cited the case of " The Quern v. Pocock," a here it was held that the Bell- Riot's Tract Society was liable to pay poor rotes in respect 01 . the premises which they oc c upi e d, because theology could not be held to be liteiat ore. Mr. Crowder, Q.C., with whom was Mr. Parry, on be half of the appellants, urged that it was clear that the London Library was a soci, ty which tame within the act of parliament. The subscription of the maubers was a volun tary aubaeription, and the objects of the society were portly and entirely the advancement of literature generally ; fur the London Library might be used by authors for the pur pose of rekrence, and if utter making those references they wrote a work, it would be clear that the Loudon Library had been used for the advaneement of literature. With re st r r t to the he tl•(11e r. Crowde r) Library submittedui 1;17 as they part th t o y f w e re under', t to vocieties who haul scit antic and literary ob jects in view, the London Library could not on that ac t:Gent be held liable to pay poor rune. The Lord Chief Justu•e said that he was of opinion, both with regard to the authorities a hieh had been cited, and the facts of the case, that the London Library was not a society which came within the meaning of the 6th and 7th Vie., tap. 36. A 'opting the language of Lord Campbell, in the ease of the Queen v. Brandt, he hoped the London Li brary might long flourish p . ,yatrc ita poor rates. With I respect to the second point, it was clear upon the authorities i that the mid. rletting by the Loudon Library to other societies, of a portion of tlit ir premises, rendered thsui liable to pay poor rates, particularly as those moieties had not yet obtainel a certificate front the barrister whoa• duty it was to give it. For flume reasons he (the Lord Chief Jus tice) waxer opinion that the rate was a god one, and that the judgnu it of the court ought, therefore, to be in favour of the reapondents. The reat of their lordeiips exprcesed a similar opinion. Judgment for the respondents accordingly. company, by inducing him to withdraw his opposition, ob tained, when the bill passed, the right to interfere with and prejudice his property, and that was a right which the de fendants ought well purchase at the sum of 3,0001. Mr. Bramwell, for the defendants, contended that the condition precedent to the liability to pay the3,oool.,was the taking the land for the purposes of the railway and the making of the line. Unless these acts were done no damage could be done to the privacy of the plaintiff's park. Nor could any injury arise to him in any of the matters pointed out in the deed; both the parties evidently cmitemplattsf,the making of the line through the plaintiff's park. It w.c.. therefore, a sufficient answer to th e c l a i m o f t h o p l a i nt iff to say that the land had not been taken /•y the. defendants who could only t be said be to have agreed with the plaintiff to pay him fordantages, when his claim for such arose, tu.tead of going before a jury to estimate them accArding to the provisions of the Land Clauses Acts. Mr. Peacock, in his reply, submitted that as the plaintiff never could have recovered damages from a jury for many of the particulars clarified in the deed, it wit clear that the object of the parties was to provide for the payment to the plaintiff of the sum agreed on for tease and all other in jurie, and it was but reasonable to hold that the plaintiff was entitled to th.it payment as soon as the act had pacseil, which precluded him trout opposin.t the line, and made his property subservient to the purpose, of the company. The Lord Chief llama said the court would concider their judgment. J udgruent dc (erred accordingly. COURT OF 13ANKItI.71 . TCY.—YEsrenutir. 6110111, Ma. Coup:most:it hot KOVD. .----.

FIRE AND Lo of LIFE AT WaLwOßTlL—Yes testily (Friday) morning, shortly after two o'clock, the inhabitants of Walworth were thrown into a state of great darn by the sudden outbreak of an extensive fire on the prani-e•s of Mr. William Elliott, a pros ',ion a,o• nt, of No. 3, ISed Lion-street, near the turnpike gate, wlich was un fortunately attended with iIMaS of life. It appears that the family had retire-d to re. t, excepting the eldest son, Henry , Kliott, aged 17, alas reached home at one o'clock from the theatre. The house at that time was quite safe, and soon afterwards he went upstairs to bed, when he put out the candle. An hour had scarcely passed, when be was arouses' by a suffocating smoke ent,:ing his sleep ing apartment. Ile jumped out of lied, and when he opened the room door the flames and smoke were rushing up the staircase. Ile went to the hack room and succeeded in waking his parents and the other members of the family. The father rescued his wife and two children, but discovered the unfortunate de -1 ceased (Henry) lying near the window, on th • tirstrloor, ,in a state of insausibility. He seised him, and succeeded in getting the youth out of the front window into the Street, where he was caught by l'olice-coustables 114 and 170 P, by whom he was carried to Newington ‘Vorkhouse, where medical assistance was afforded, but life was quite extinct.
