Thomu Baring, Eon., M.P., presided, in the absence of Mr. Samuel Jones Loyd, who was pre voted from attending in consequence of ill-health. The c s a i reenn , in proposing the toast of the evening, observed upon 'the national importance of the institution. He be lieved that there was no society better directed, although di rected by gentlemen who were themselves unconnected witn artists, a nd were only influvaced in giving their time and attention to its affairs by lore of the arts and these cannecte with them. The objects of the society he considered in the highest degree entitled to support, as he conceived it t o be a national debt of gratitude to contribute to the support of artists who might stand in need of each assistance ; conducing so much as they did to the refinement of public manner and public taste. If, then, there was any clans which had peculiar claims upon public sympathy and sup port, it was artists. lie proposed " Prosperity to the Artists' Gored Benevolent Institution. Other toasts baring been drink, it was announced that the receipts of the society durind the past ear, amounted to 1,7021. 55., out of which a balance remained of 5491. 12a. 6d. The sum of 6801, had beta expended in relief during the year, making a total, from the commencement, of 995 cases, relieved by sums amounting to 10,5631. 7s. 103. The amount oollected during the evening amounted to 5601., which included 21/. from the chairman of the day, and 601. from the directors of the British Institution. A SIGHT FOR THE MONDAY HOLIDAY FOLKS.— A grand stud of 60 horses, 12 camels, and several elephants, arrived at Euston-square terminus of the Birmingham rail way, on Saturday morning. This stud has been engaged by L. Bunn, of Drury-lane Theatre, to appear in a grand oriental spectacle, called The Desert." The stud and paraphernalia occupied the longest train that ever tsmvelle on the Birmingham line. Among other rarities was the nth, or Burmese throne. HUNGERIORD SUSPENSION-BRIDGE STEAM-BOAT Fitt—Ca ^1:-rimy, pert of Srme.;:ricrd Su permen-bridge, situate between the market termination and the north turret was divided by an iron railing, the west side of the bridge, on and after Baster Monday next, being to be thrown open to the public landing or embarking in steam boats, free of charge. The directors of the Bridge Company have ordered a tollhouse to be placed at the north turret, fir the convenience of penous wishing to pass over to Lambeth. _ _ _ ----- FIRE AT BLACRWALL.—On Saturday morning an extensive fire broke out at the large manufacturing premises 01 Hems. Samuds, Brother,. engineers. in Crakerd-plan . between Bow Creek and the East India Docks. The fire was Heat discovered by the private watchman a few minutes after six o'clock, when a portion of the centre floor of a newly erected building, three stories high, was in flames. A most agwous effort was instantly m ad e by the workmen who had just assembled to stop the progress of the flames, but with out effect, and very little of the Roods therein could be rescued from their ravages. An engine from the neighbour ing glassworks was the first that arrived and got to work, bat the Ham quickly penetrated to the top story, fiiiett with patterns ot a most costly character and diffieult to be re placed. At the same time the tire descended into the lower d.or, to vl as the rivetting department, and in a very brief period the whole of 'he immense building . was wrapped in flames. The dock engines were quickly put in a working condition, but from there being no water mains laid down in the district, their services were of little avail, the tide bring down in the river. flubsequently,Mr. Superintendent Braidwood, with seven or tight engines of the brigade, arrived, and a powerful muster of firemen reached the spot, but they were of little use ; 11 , 1 rest was the want of water, that until the tide rose they could not be got into operation. At length the roof of the place fell in with a fearful crash, carrying along with it ell that remained of the floors, after which tho front wall kited considerably, and it was found necessary to set men to work to prop it up and prevent it toppling over into the street. Although every person exerted himself to the tamest, the fire was not wholly extinguished until late in the day. The origin of the calamity cannot be accounted for. Two men were at work in the lower floor so late as ten o'clock on Friday night, and when they left, they state that the building appeared perfectly free from fire. The exact aroma of damage it unknown, but at a moderate ;calcula tion it will reach several thousand pounds. The second Hoot, termed the store, contained prepared leather, valued at 4,11001. The brass castings in the rivetting department wen valued at nearly 1,0001., independently of the loft of area block', tubes, and the valuable patterns. Insurances in the Phoenix and Imperial offices will partially cover the lace. The remainder of the manufactory, iecludwg the slam-works and turning comport:matte, was uninjured.

Mr. Kelly will no longer be able to derive 12,0001. a year out of the exertions of the poor letter-eatriers. The correctness of his return to parliament may be tested by the feet that he began an action against the Sentinel, and did not proceed with it. The " notice" that any suggestions foe improvement in the office which we have to make, are to go through Mr. Kelly, has been pulled down since Mr. Dun e:lll6es speech on Monday night. Mr. Kelly now denies that when he succeeded in getting Mr. Rowland Hill out of can some years ago, that he posted a notice, stating that soy one communicating with that gentleman should be dis missed; but his denial will not do.

AOCIDEKT AT COVENT-GARDICN TESATII.—Oa Saturday, • fatal accident occurred at Covent garden The atre, by which an old mac, named Henry Warren, lost his life. An old pump, which prevented the formation of the few earriage-roed under the trent portico in Bow-street, ktring been nearly removed, the unfortunate deceased de n:laded into the well to rut off the water-pipes at a depth of hit; feet from the surface. Scarcely, however, had he reached that depth,lbefore the impure air overpowered him, sad be immediately fell to the bottom. The splash in the warn being heard above, every means were instantly adopted foe extricating the unfortunate man; but, owing to the Powerful mephitic gas in the some time elapsed before it was effected. The body was p rompptly carried to the sta tion-bocce, where Mr. Brook, surgeon, of Bedford-street, wee in attendance, and used every possible means to restore etma.tion, but it was of ao wail, life being quite extinct. tn° l 7 was removed to th e dead-house of St. Paul's, Co elettgarden, where it awaits an inquest.

It further appeared that Mr. Bacon, the master of St. Luke's workhouse, had known deceased five years, and that she had experienced ill usage from a man of the name of Emery, with whom she was con nected, and had several time, sheltered herself in the workhouse from his brutality. And the witness who saw deceased on Tuesday lut, said she bad scarcely anything to cover her, and she appeared very poor and in want; also, that Emery was at present in the West London Union Workhouse, which was denied by Policeman 6 189, who had been there, and found that he had loft it on the 3rd of February. The inquiry was then adjourned, for the purpose of a more searching investigation being made.— THU Hoot. NUMANCE.—Before Mr. Payne, at M.

MARCH 27. A week has elapsed since the reduction of la bourers—a sufficiently long interval for the develop ment of any injurious consequences, inasmuch as the Irish peasant acts on the "spur of the moment," but every where all is peace and order. In a few places impatience has found vent in violent language. Inspectors, pay clerks, check clerks, were among them, discharging a most painful duty; few in num ber, and without any protection. Yet they accom plished their purpose without provoking resentment or violence. 'f he labourers everywhere yielded with reluctance, though not without tears. Gradually they are being absorbed in the cultivation of the soil. One district (T allow, Co. Carlow) deserves especial record. A writer in the Flustman says, " You will be pleased to learn that there was no occasion to discharge the 20 per cent. from the public works in this district, as more than that number had removed of their own accord previous to tho 20th, and engaged with farmers at a better hire." Si sic °mon ! Great alarm has been excited here to-day in conse quence of a communication received by the Lord Mayor from Mr. Grogan, one of our city representa tives, who states that the English towns where natives of Ireland arc relieved out of the poor-rates, have all determined, immediately upon the passing of the Irish Poor-law, to send those paupers back to Dublin ' Clerk, Waterford, and the other seaports op posite the English coast. Mr. Grogan adds, that there are at least 40,000 individuals who will be thus conveyed to the shores of Ireland. That information rests upon the authority of Sir George Grey. You will easily perceive how startling is this announce ment to the people of Dublin, when I inform you that at a meeting of the two city relief committees ander the new act, held yesterday, it was stated that the estimated number of destitute persons to whom it was indispensable that relief should be extended, was estimated at 35,000 in the North Union alone ; and in both unions not less than 80,000. The whole population of both unions, pro bably, does not exceed 300,000. Thus, in the metro polis of Ireland, about 1 in 31 ; of the whole popula tion is destitute. This is a woeful testimony to the state of the country. The estimated expense of maintaining the destitute in the North Union for three months is 20,0001. at the knit, being 40,0001. in six months, which is about ten shillings per annum upon the value ion of property rated to the poor within the union. You will easily understand the alarm which Mr. Grogan's letter has created. Already the Lord Mayor has waited upon the Lord Lieutenant, upon the subject of that communication, and I 'understand that one of the suggestions he intends to offer is, that government should make to the relief commit tees of Dublin an advance, by way of grant, to enable them to defray the expenses of conveying such of those paupers as shall arrive in Dublin to the dis tricts upon which they may have claims for relief, either on account of birth or residence. It is gene rally understood that the greater number by far of this host of paupers are natives of the eolith and west of Ireland, many of whom, on the approach of famine this year, left their homes, to live upon the English poor-rates. Every tide wafts fresh provision cargoes into the port of Dublin. The "stars and stripes" have very rarely been seen on our waters, and several of the star-spangled banners, in consequence, have attracted the attention and excited the admiration of our citi zens throughout the week. From Monday to Thurs. dal , inclusive the following arrivals took place 3, ;60 barrels and 80 sacks of flour and corn meal ; about 6,000 quarters and 22,000 bushels of Indian corn ; 2,460 quarters, '2OO tierces, and 3,600 bags of wheat; 590 quarters of beans and 200 quarters of rice. Of the cargoes four were from New York, one from Baltimore, four from Spain, and one each from Marseilles and Leghorn. The greatest exertions are made to discharge all the vessels, so as to enable them to clear out as rapidly as possible. Some of the American vessels, contrary to the expectations of the emigrants, did not wait for an outward cargo, but after unloading dropped down the river, probably for Liverpool. Prices are tumbling. Indian corn, which once fetched 80s., has been offered and re fused at ills. Some purchases were effected at the latter price by a few buyers. A trial which excited much interest has just ter minated in the acquittal of the prisoners tried for an attempt to poison the family of Doctor Grattan. The facts are briefly these :—ln the beginning of the dis tress the doctor, who unites the farmer to the physi cian, purchased a quantity of Indian meal for the use of his labourers and servants. The latter, among whom were the prisoners, refused to eat it, and to abate the prejudice, the doctor had stir-about made for the !Emily breakfast. This was done, but the servants refused the remainder, which was given to some calves, all which died shortly after. Three days after, the family partook of it again—all got immediately sick, and his youngest son, a boy of 15 ears, died. The case for the prosecution rested mainly on the evidence of another servant, whose testimony was full of discrepancies, and who, it appeared, was not altogether free from suspicion in the fatal transaction. Arsenic was the poison used. The verdict was founded on the conviction of the jury that the poison was intended rather to sicken than to kill. A correspondent of a weekly paper states that in one day this week ten foreclosure bills were filed in the Exchequer, and in one day eighty answers, most of them in foreclosure 'nits, were filed in the Rolls' office.

THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 29, 1847. In 1814, when the competition took place, the principal prize was awarded to Dr. Brown, pincipal of Marischal College, Aberdeen, and the is oond to the Rev. Mr. Sumner, now Bishop of Chester. A meeting for the separation between church and state was held in Perth on Tuesday. The education agitation and other causes will probably tend to the multiplication of such meetings throughout Scotland. Dean Horeeley, of Dundee, has addressed a letter to the bishop and clergy of the Scotch Episcopal church, calling on them to stilPeribe for the purpose of enabling their brethren of the Irish cliurch to purchase seed corn for their glebes. SCOTCH ENTAILS.—At a meeting of the Glasgow Town Council, held on Thursday last, Mr. Dreghorn, la terms of the notice of motion which he had given on this sus eject, said the law of entail, as established by the act of 16.. e, appears to have had its origin in a desire on the part of the landed proprietors to preserve their estates from forfeiture. The rapacity of the servants of the crown at that period was enor mous, and not only current but retrospective ; tie. sons wire trumped up for the purpose of escheatiog the pumerties of the victims. But now that these causes have lona cowed to exist, it seems monstroas that entails should be allowed to exist far one day. They are totally incompatible with the rights of society in a commercial tawdry, most injurious TO agricultural improvements, productive of an en moos mass of litigation, and replete with much indi , ideal so well as national suffering. Nor do the two remedial acts passed in the years 1770 and 1824 mend the matter. These statutes, if taken advantage of, lay the foundation for the most ruinous emerge nces, com pared with which, all the benefits which they confer sink into insignificance. 'Entails have been condemned and depre cated by the most eminent lawyers and political economists, from the time of their institution till the present hour, and every lover of his country must hail the advent of their abolition. It is believed that the present government is favourable to an alteration, and that the Lord A trocaze has taken the matter in hand. If this be the case, no one can doubt, if his hands arc properly strengthened, be will bring forward such a measure as will give satisfaction to the country. I could have wished that his lordship, or some other influ ential member of the legislature, would apply himself to an alteration of the law of primogeniture—that remnant of bar barism. The injustice and hardship which flow from it are of daily occurrence, and, in a national point of view, is highly injuri ;us. In the mean time, however, let us do what we can to get rid of the law of entail, and join in the general movement sow being made for this purpose. I therefore propose that this council memorialise government to introduce a measure having this !or its object, and that we likewise petition pariiament to pus such a mmeure. Mr. Mitchell seconded the motion, which was unanimously agreed to. DONATION PROM TUE Dear. or WELLINOTON.—In the published statement of the proceeds of the sale of ladies' work in Dundee, last week, the following entry occurs: "His Grace the Duke of Wellington, per a lady, 51. ' The explanation of this is, that a young lady of that town wrote to his grace explaining the object of the sale, end soliciting a few aatec graphs, which, the said, would doubtless find ready and liberal purchasers. His grace politely declined the request, but enclosed a money thlaseription instead. THE PITT Patzsa.—On the 22nd current, the prizes awarded by the truatees of the Pitt Prize wore presented by Lord Mindowbank, in the chemistry class-room in the Uni versity of Edinburgh, in presence of the Senate Amdemicus and a numerous body of students. His lordship remarked that the Pitt Prize had been founded twelve yeunsince, and that for the eight last years, no essay had been found of suffi cient merit to entitle any of their authors to the prise. The subject this year was—" On the Influerce of the Positive Institutions of Christianity." The first prize of 50!. was awarded to Mr. James Giem, Wigtonshire ; and the second prize of 301. to Mr. Thomas Laing, Dalkeith„ STATISTICS Or GENERAL P/AISON OP SCOTLAND AT PERTH mon 1846.—The eighth report of the board of di rectors of prisons in Scotland, has just been printed. It contains much interesting information as to the General Prison. At the close of 184.5 the numbir of prisoners was 281, viz., 198 males and 83 females. There were admitted during 1846, 207 males and 115 females—showing the total number in confinement during last year to hive been 603. The general unhealthiness which characterised the summer of 1846, arising it was eupposed from the great heat and heavy rains, made itself felt within the General Prison to wards autumn, when diarthma, and subsequently scurvy and scrofula appeared. A more generous diet, longer exer cise, and other smithery measures, speedily checked these symptoms, and the year closed with only two prisoner on the sick list—a more satisfactory state than the surgeon has ever known it to be. The chap lain's report refers particularly to the department of cduea tion, and the result appears to be very encouraging. The prisoners leave confinement in a very diffelent state of men- tal acquirements than they entered ; and much success seems to have attended the exertions of the governor and chaplain to prevent the prisoners, upon the expiry of their sentence, from being throws again into their old haunts and vicious companions. Of '252 prisoners, liberated during the year, no fewer than 124, viz., 99 males and 25 females, have chained employment and are conducting them selves well in it. This is a large increase upon the result of former yearn, and forms a most important element in tho system of prison discipline. The governor re ports that the prisoners generally ha." *hewn an Increased anxiety is acquire habit+, of industry, which was evidenced in two respects, Ist, in the comparatively smaller number of pinishinf tots; and 'ldly, in the enhanced proceeds of the work executed. In the latter case, the improvement *prints equally to the better quality of the work as to the greater quantity produced, the grow, profits of the year being 1,068!. ss. 4d. The net cost per head for maintenance is 191. 175., and as mare than one-third of this is caused by the expense of the criminal establishment, the result shows how much more economically the poor could be sustained col lectively than ntiotained, as in the burgh of Perth, no ge nerally throughout Scotland, each in his or her own separate place of abode.—Perth Courier. evaded to the house of Mr. Franks, the landlord of the Old Angel end not many yards distant from the shambles, and told Mrs. Franks, at the time the corpse was lying in the shop, that he fully expected to inset Collis at the Angel, in order to settle their partnership aoccrunta.—This statement madoby Platte on Surdsy, would make it appear that after the blow inflicted on the victim, he was strangled to prevent the moaning noise, and which noise, it way be remembered, was sworn to as having been heard by several persons on passing through the shambles on the Sunday evening of the murder, and which attracted the attention of the passers-by. The con vict admitted that be then proceeded to rifle the dead body orbit' victim, and divested it of the shoes and part of the dress. Platte then went into lengthened details of the part he had sustained in the murder, and the circumstances. On Monday, upon being visited by the chaplain and governor, his conduct was very indecorous. Shortly before noon Platte had an interview with several of the visiting justices, and was then interrogated relative to the confession which he lied made on the preceding day, and was asked if the con fession wa: r.slueed to writing he would sign the document ; to the great surprise of all present, the convict contradicted the statement made on the preceding day, and denied that he bad any part in the murder, but implicated ether Me made another statement to the justices, which is said to have been full of inconaistencies. PROVINCIAL. THE DIMAND6 or THEFOCHL , ;;;;; THE SOUP-KITCHEN& or MANCHEBTER bare not abated. No soup was distributed on the fast-day, but oboist 3,000 loaves were given away. On Thursday the quantities were 1,300 gallons of soup, and about 2,000 loaves ; Friday, 1,000 gallons of anp, and be tween 1,400 and 1,600 loaves. THE PUBLic BATHS AND WASH-HOUSES IN IkIANCIIESTER increase in popu!arity. Upwards of 500 person bathed last week. So many as 114 women, too, availed themselves last week of the means supplied by the wash-houses for cleans ing their clothes. A very agreeable feature to be noticed, is, that there has not been the slightest disagreement of late amongst the women. Formerly there was impr - oper language and behaviour, too, among them, which, if suffered to con tinue, would have had the effect of deterring the peaceably. disposed and well-behaved from going thither. The refrac tory individuals, however, were suspended for time from participating in the benefits of The institution, and this appears to have had a good effect. YORKSHIRE. PETITtONINO ANTI-EDUCATIONISTS.—A person wu ob served, on Saturday, writing several names to the petition against the governinent mescals for education ; and on being asked, by a casual passer-by, why he was filling up the list in so wholesale a style, he answered that he was signing the names of two or three men standing by, who were un able to write their own names. We trust that each of these persons, so much indebted to their public-spirited amanu ensis, affixed " his mark " to his name, so that they might appear in their real condition ; for we cannot see that any parties can more properly be admitted to petition on a ques tion of education than those who cannot write for them selves. Such persons, in signing against education, show that they are contented with their ignorant* ; or, at all events, that they do not wish their fellows and equals to be come more accomplished than themselves. Their petition ing on the other side would, however, have been every way more decorous and rational.—Leeds Intelligencer. LECCOLNSHLRE.

Tea MII /DER AT C_ Cosv:cr PLarre.—Thir criminal, since his conviction, has been in the condemned oell of the county gaol, where le has been visited by the Rev. George Pickering, the chaplain of the prison, who urged oa the convict the propriety of making a confession of bin guilt. On Sunday (yesterday sennight) he attended divine services, and in the after part el the day ha wrote to his mother, sister, and brother, previous to which he made an unreserved and full confession of the murder. He stated that he was present when it wu eon mitted, and that he was the principal party concern. d, al though be did not strike the blow by which the unkrtonate man, George Collie, was stunned and rendered imensfhist. He next proceeded to implicate Morley as taking an active part, and divulged the name of a third person, which, as a matter of course, has not been suffered to transpire. The circumstances he narrated were es follows: Pieta and Collis, the deceased, spent dia Sunday afternoon with Morley. Collis was plied will drink and inveigled into Platte' shop in the shambles ands pretence of settling the account, and he was then murdeeed. The object of Plates and Morley was plunder, fur it was con jectured that as Collis was about to marry Ellen Bereeford in the West Bars, ke bad saved a gam of money for this pur pose, which he carr about with him. Thu young woman gave testimony en the trial. After the perpetration of the murder the body was mutilated, and on the Monday eight was deposit ti in the sack by Morley and the convict, and carried across the market-plue to the cesspool, where it was accidentally discovered.

EXTRAORDINARY CASR. —.` TRINO-NRELID JACK !" —Teignmauth wss greatly excited ou Monday, in conse quence of a " Spring-heeled Jack " investigation, before the magistrates. A delinquent of this genus occupied himself during the winter in lrightening and annoying defoweleas women, some of whom were rather roughly handled. The police having been on the alert for some time, suspicion fell on a Capt. Finch, of Shaidon;:a man of alleged ill health, and apparently sixty pats of n.te, about the last pc rson that could have been suspected. lie wu summlned before the magistrates. Mr. Tucker, in opening the case the corn phunant, said, it was not only difficult but moat painful to him: his client belonged to the humblest rank, and the defendant, Captain Finch, had been con sidered highly respietable. Should he not succeed in establishing the charge, the effect of the girl's es idence might prejudice her through life ; should he succeed, the ' moral character of one who hod hitherto moved as a gentle man would be blasted. He had two charges' of assault to prefer. His client, the servant of Mir Morgan, a lady living in Macfsrlen ' s-row, Bitten - road, had been twice assaulted in January, between nine and ten at night, by a , 1 man disguised in a skin coat, having the appearance of a 1 bullock's hide, skull cap, horns, and mask ; and the alarm had produced serious fits. Evidence having been given in support of the charges, the bench expressed pain at finding an old soldier guilty of such an *malt ; but there was no material refutation to complainant's evidence. He was fined lie, for each assault. Defendant thanked the beach for their impartiality. The case lasted from one to half-past seven in the evening. ..... EAST 80K1111.811T ELECTION.—The Rev. J. Vaughan, rector of Wray'll, has addressed a letter to Mr. Pinney, the liberal candidate, requesting to be informed of his views in reference to " any endowment of the Romish Church by our Protestant state." Mr. Pinney replies, " I consider it would be most injudicious and unwise for the government to introduce any measure into parliament for the endowment of the Roman Catholic clergy, as there is as much indispoai tion on the part of the Catholics to receive any such grant, as there is on the part of the Protestants to pay it. At the same time I wish you distinctly to understand that I ►m nut for framing any laws which may impose civil disabilities on any body of persons in consequence of their religious belief; for I consider that sound religious opinions are much more likely to be advanced by showing a spirit of toleration and a true Christian feeling towards those who differ from us, than by the enactment of any laws for the discouragement of erroneous doctrine." Sir Thomas Buckler Lethbrii.ge, of Sand.hill•park, formerly one of the members for the county, has issued an address, calling upon the electors to give their support to Mr. Pinney. RIPRESZDTATION OF THE 181 R OP WIORT.—" It is not without surprise, as well aa concern, we (Ilampshire Ad vertieer) hear that Mr. T. W. Fleming declines the invita tion of the Conservative electors ult.'s* Isle of Wight to allow himself to be put in nomination for its representation on the retirement of the Hon. A. A'Court Holmes. It appears, however, that from the high personal respect in which the memory of the late noble Earl Yarborough la held, and the populiz character of the Hon. Dudley Pelham from his op position to the i ntroduction of a railway into the island (an opposition 'hand in, nevertheless, by Mr. Fleming), that the contest would be a severe one, and rather than involve • disruption of social ties and conneximas, Mr. Fleming will reserve his claims to the support of the island county ennui tueney to a future period." Fear DAY IX THE New FOREST.—The labourers in the New Forest having taken up the impression that they were to abstain from work on the day of the fast, but were, so ' usual, to be paid wages, on being :reformed to the contrary, had regular meetings with their employers on the subject, and informed them that, to save th,m trouble and expense, they begspil to state their intention, whenever the day's wages were refused, to summon their employers before the magistrates. A SECOND DRY DOCK is shout to be commenced at South ampton. Messrs. Cubitt are the contractors, and the amount of their tender is said to be sonaethiog more than 17,0001. The new dock will almost equal the present ene in capacity. It is to be 2.50 feet in length upon the blocks, and is to hold two SOO ton ships at once. SUSSEX. THE REMOVAL OP THE SIRSES ASSIZES FROM LEWES TO Baiourox has been the subject of a communication to the judges and the leading members of the lin during the present anise ; and it is understood to be the opinion of those learned functionaries that it would be highly condu ' cin to the interests of the public, and to the convenience of the bar, that the removal should take place, provided the re quisite accommodation ne afforded. The Brig/Um% Herald lays : We apprehend that there need be no difficulty on this point, and that the lower portions of our Town-ball, with the existing court, could easily be made available for that purpose. A SCHOOLMASTER WAS TINED at Brighton police.offiee last week, for beating a pupil. The defendant was a Mr. Wharton, who had, according to the evidence, crueliy chas- ' tised the son of Mr. Pickford, a surgeon. The complainant was sitting in a chair, with a book in his hand, working a problem in Euclid, when the schoolmaster called him an idle fellow, and anntched the chair from under him, but the child being prepared for that he did not absolutely throw him down. He afterwards inquired for a cane or stick belotging to one of the boys. The case was brought, and defendant thrashed this boy with it till he broke it. Not content with that, he asked one of the pupils for his whip, end desired him to get it ; but the pupil replied that he would rather not." Mr. Wharton said " Where is it ?" The reply was that it was up stairs. Mr. Wharton went up stain and got it, and then best this poor child with it in a cruel way. To prove the severity of the flogging, it was stated that the de. fendant had actually cut through the clothes of the child. The complainant was examinel. He showed severe marks on the thighs, face, and head. Thu boy hail, moreover, a black eye, and there were other marks on the arm, all pro duced by the beating complained of.—The Bench were of opinion that the child had been chastised without any neces city. They felt it neumary, for the protection of children who were under a master that could not command his temper, to impose the full amount of the tine that the law imposed. He was fined 61. Defendant paid the money. EEX.

It was then stated that the trial would take place at the summer assizes, the partial having liberty to traverse.

SOCIETY OF BRITISH ARTISTS.—The private view of the first exhibition of the Society of British Artists sines the royal charter of incorporation, took place on Saturday. The exhibition consists of 717 works by 306 different exhihi tore—the 32 members of the society who exhibit contributicg in all 286 works, or nearly nine a piece, though one has sent as many as sixteen, and several twelve and even thirteen. There is little to lie said in praise of the exhibi• lien. Better it might easily have been, for we might have hod less of it. Worse it has never been, and with ling a few bright exceptions, worse it could not well be. Mediocrity, however, may claim indulgence, and with kindly critics seventeen may save seven hundred. Lanticapes, as hereto fore, form the staple of the exhibition, and some of these arc of considerable truth and beauty. Mr. Pyne has nine in all—but two alone are particularly successful—No. 30, " The Neckar at Heidelberg," is, in many respects, by . far the Blast work in the exhibition; alike original in treat ment and execution; the middle distance is extremely happy. In the other work by Mr. Pelle, to which we refer, No. 454, "On the Logo Maggiore—northern Italy," he has endeavoured to work in a spirit and style between Calleott and Clarkson Stanfield ; here, however, he is less successful. After Mr. Fyne, we may mention Mr. J. W. Allen, on account of No. 156, " the Val, of Clwyd, seen from the hills dividing }lineable° from Daibighshire." This is a large landscape, and Mr. Allen has stripped for the effort, and succeeded accordingly. Dyer bed derived a new icicle from it for his " Orongar-hill." Mr. Boddington may be named immediately after Mr. Allen, on account of No. 39, " A Summer's Evening in North Water," and N0 : 492, " A Welsh Mill." lie is apt to be cold, and to err in Mr. Lee'. worst manner ,• but he looks on nature for himself, and copies many of her beauties with taste and discrimination. Mr. Lindland's " Herne Bay" (No. 233), is a picture of much delicacy and beauty, altogether unlike his dark Venetian canals, and really . more e ff ective. Mr. Josh " Waiting for the H - -y-bost" is another picture deserting a goad word , Mr. Jer% ambition has not exceeded his skill: little is ' attempted, but that little bas been attained. In a difirresit line of art, and standing out from the sass of mediocrity with which they are surrounded, we may mention " Quietude " (No. 34), by Mr. J. F. Herring, a circular picture, made up of two horse's heads, four birds, a bser.:l turned upside down, a rusty iron staple, and a few Bowers. Mr. Herring has caught Mr. Lsnds.er's " knack," and, as far as he goes, bids fair to stand well with the " many" who can see a certain distance, and can see no fur ther. No. 6, " A Shepherd Boy," by J. J. Hill, is simple and pretty ; and N 0.276 by the same artist," Rustic Figure" (a boy looking at his dog), atilt better. No. 276, by J. Holmes, " Hadibras in the Stocks," is—for Suffolk-street— a successful imitation of Mr. Frith and Mr. Egg. No. Si, " The Wanderers," by C. Baxter, has a touch of poetry about it, but the child is better than the mother. Mr. Baxter has an eye for colouring : his "Young Bacchante" (No. 238), and his " Circassian" (No. 246), excel all that he kas hitherto done ; toy, hold out promise of what he may hereafter do. But let us not expect too much. More was looked for from the president of the society (Mr. Hurlatone) than he has yet realised ; his " Girl of Sorrento at a Well"—a half length, so called—is only pretty. Yet many of the members of the Royal Academy paint a good deal worse, and the president of their body not much better—at times barely as well. If Bile and subject constitute a claim to particular atten tion, Mr. Salter, the painter of the " Waterloo Banquet," should certainly have stood much earlier in our notice. His largest effort, " Lord Hardinge's Bivouac on the Field of Fereseshah," is sadly deficient in all that can lend import. mice to a subject of this nature. Lord Ilardinge is painted like a man sitting for his portrait, and perfectly indifferent W all the bustle that is about him. This the artist has mistaken forcoolnear. Still less suocesstal is he in his large picture of the " Entombment of Christ." This, and " The Widow of Hain " by Mr. Latilla, are the two most ambitious pictures in the whole exhibition. It is really painful to s?cak of such attempts; and quite impossible to comprehend for what good purpose they were painted. They jangle devotion out of tune. ,1 1.ie Morning of the Battle of Hastings " (No. 192), by Mr. A. J. Woolmer, is a poor feeble composition from English History ; and No. 424," Lady Jane Grey," by Mr. H. Hawkins, not one degree better—but alike destitute of character and drawing, and in colour cold almost beyond example. The society is about to establ;sh "A School of Art." Their preliminary labours have already commenced. " Casts have been procured, and a committee is taking the necessary steps in providing for the study of anatomy, the antique, the living model, painting, and sculpture, and for courses of lectures."

The hero of the piece was personated by Frasichim, Elmira by Madame Castellan, Don Carlo, (th; king) by Superchi, end Buy Gomez by Douche'. Of the operas of this composer which have been produced in this country, " Enlist ' is certainly the weakest; and yet this ought not to have been the ewe, for the libretto, founded on Victor Hugo's celebrated tragedy,. is much superior to the gene rality of operas. The ma i a incident is eminently Lupe. Ernani, discovered in the chamber of his metres by her aged lover, Roy Dome:, pledges himself that, ' when they shall have jointly avenged the injery done to both by the king, he shall surrender la own life to the vengeance of Comer, whenever he shall be summoned to do so. The conspiracy ; but UM king par.ltins the criminals, and bestows Elmira on Erman& The lovers are married, the nuptial festivities are over, end the happy pair are about to enter the bridal chamber, ;din the distant sound of a horn (the agreed.on signal of death) is heard ; the dark figure of the stern old man appears and de. mends fulfilment of the pledge, and Entani, obeyin g the dictate of Castilian honour, stabs himself to the heart in tbe 61131.11 of his bride. Few dramatic situations can be emir than this, and yet the composer ban made very little of it. He nu attempted to give an impressive effect to the appear ance of the avenger, by conveying his baleful summons in a phrase of canto ferns° accompanied by trombones, in bait& lion of the appalling accents of the statue iu " Don GU. venni ;" but hlosart's striking ides has been rendered common by frequent imitations. The moment when, in the midst of Ernenti's joy and tenderness, the fatal horn strikes his ear, and fills hie heart with sudden horror and despair, demanded the genius of a Beethoven—in Verdi's hands it is entirely lost; and the impassioned scene which follows, in which, after the agonised Elmira has vainly the old man's knees, and implored his compassion, littler plunges the dagger in hia breast, sugges's nothing but a string of cold platitudes, which the actors try to warm by the vehemence of their gestures and contortions. A por tion of this scene was encored ; and we never saw a better practical illustration of the absurdity of the practice. It is a some of rapid movement, without pause or interruption till the catastrophe is consummated; and yet, jest before the hero stabbed himself a number of pw ple began to applaud—the actors stopped shat and looked at each other. Alter a few moments' hesitation, Elmira threw herself down, and began afresh to clasp the old gentleman's keens t Mr. Bah hooriehed his beton, and the whole was done over again !
