EXHIBITION AT SOMERSET HOUSE. - More pictures were sale to have been seat this year o Somerset House than at any former period; and of such excellence ;as to perpleiethe-Academicians in their selections, who were at last obliged to send away a great number of admirable productions for' want of room to hang them up. Apprised of a cin. cumstance; so highly creditable to the state of the arts in this country, we went, full of expectation, to Somerset Heuse ; and, if the reports above alluded to be true, we certainly conceive that the perplexity of the Academicians must, indeed, have been so great as entirely to have confounded their judgments; and that they unluckily sent away what ought to have been retained; since we are sure they retained weat ought to have been sent away. From the ge neral aspect of the exhibition we s hould judge that those royal members (not unaptly called hangmen) who had the arrangement of the picturei must have been portrait painters, and not of the highest class; who exercised their power to display their own pro ductions to advantage, without any remorse of con. science towards others. Upon the whole, we do not recollect an exhibition, for many years, more barren of excellence than the present; and, with all our willingness to give applause, we find but very few subjects on which to exercise it. Sir Thomas Law rence has sent a great many portraits which, for flimsiness and total want of all real excellence, might vie with 11;$ imitator Mr. Harlow; who Is &bind of key to the KaighVs defects, and must, we have no' doubt, be very harassing to him. Had mot the whole length picture of Lady Wigram, which is in deed a very admirable one, rescued him from the abspicion, we should have been doubtful that Sir Thomas's title had proved one of the most fatal do nations ever bestowed by a Prince upon an artist. Sir Thomas will, however, do well to consider, that though honours and reputation are very proper alp• pendages to merit, they do not constitute merit it self; a truth, we are afraid, he is now and then apt to forget. It seems as if a little corpulency was becoming a Mind of deadly sin ; and that to be painted and to be lean, ought to be synonimous terms; for both our Academical Knights have so pruned away a couple of the Royal Dukes, that his good, honest, plump Highness of York might gin himself with thegirdle of his lady; and his royal brother of Sussex looks like a strapping Highlander of eight and twenty. In the same room is a portrait of e. Hatchet, Esq. by Phillips, which does the highest honour to his ta lents—it is a perfect piece of nature. Owen has by no means equalled his productions of last year; but Mr. Dawe certainly has equalled his; and, it he goes on levelling in this manner, bringing Bishops down to beadles, he will become a very Jacobin in art, and must be expelled the Monarchy. The term monate chy, bye-the-bye, is rather unusual in relation to the • arts, but appears to us very applicable to the Royal Academy ; for the members seem to treat the este. blishment not as a national Institution, but as an ab. solute possession of their own ; from which they have I a right of excluding whomsoever or whatsoever they • please, without regard to the merit of the person or the work, and without being called en to account for their conduct. Nay, we understand, it was lately very seriously debated by some of the most worthy and liberal members, whether they should admit the works of any artist into the great room, who was not one of their own body. Now, against this principle, do we enter our most decided protest. The establish.' mint was made by the King for the general advantage .of art, and though the Academicians are entitled to certain benefits resulting from the profits of the Ex hibition, they have no more right to reject, or injure by disadvantageouily placing, a work of merit, than they would have to chop of the fingers of its author, because they happened to meet him in a place where the atrocity‘ould not be made a subject of legal pro secution. But to return to our remarks, ltaeburn has several manly portraits which would be greatly distinguished, were it not for the fatal injury he does them by the opake unnatural skies, and the smutty red rocks which he intends for curtains, with which he deforms his back ground s . Lonsdale has a fine whole length portrait of Baron Wood, in his robes, which for dignity of character, strength of expression, accuracy of resemblance, general force and breadth, stands unequalled in the Exhibition. Wilkie's picture of •• Making Rabbits" on the wall is exceedingly beautiful, though not equal to some of his former productions. Mulready's se Interrupted Fight" is an exquisite picture. The various characters of the boys are pourtrayed in a masterly manner ; the colouring is uncommonly clear and beautiful, and the whole pro duction :hews him a competitor with whom Wilkie suay be proud to contend. Calcott's 4 ' Entrance to the tool of London" is an inimitable picture. If we may venture to hint at a fault in so excellent a work, it is that there is a little too much of a yellowish colour in the sky. Turner's Landscapes, though full•of talent, are sot equal to his former works. Collins's 4 f Shrimp Boys"- is a beautiful picture, and replete with nature. Hofland's Cimon and Iphi. genia" is a charming, ricbly coloured, picture • and his large Landscape is beyond all question one Of the finest in the Exhibition. The hangsmen ought to blush at not having given this picture one of the most distinguished situations the rooms of the Academy afford. We have now, we believe, touched upon all the principal points of merit, and shall leave the oppo site details as a labour altogether discouraging fmm its amplitude. We will, however, add one :stands which is, that if the Academicians have been obliged to reject so many pieces of merit, as reported, for want of room, it would be it very desirable thing that these productions should be assembled together in some place well adapted for their exhibition: for it really is a thing sincerely to be lamented that the very en. eressing perplexity, ineewhich the judgments of these worthy gentlemen weie thiev), should fall so cala. mitously . upon the meritorious, whilst it leaves babe= dlity to lord it so outrageously. The birth-day cf Suaitsegaac was commemorated on Tuesday se'unight, at Stratford.upon•Avon, by a public breakfast, dinner, and ball, under the patro. Ye of the Earl of GUILSORD, Lord Mmourrotr, ice. esterday afternoon a genteel dressed young girl, whilst amusing herself near the bacon of the C ana l i n the Regency Park, the uafcetuaately fell La o aad was dratvaed. . _ hfaaceouscautiarmer../Osterday Arms Aichow, the butler of Mr. Omelet, of Baker.street, was brought up for a 601101bd ettladalltiOth It was stated,4 that the prisoner liras usually sent to purchase tea for the other servants. Some of the tea left by the pti, sonar in the drawers of the two girls was produced before the hblistrate, and three Surgeons who were' in the Office immediately declared, that there was mixed with it a considerable quantity of cantharldes, or Spanish Iles. The object of Belchain was no longer, in their opinion, equivocal. The Magistrate, however, could not make out any ground for corn. mining him, the two girls having said, after some hesitation, that be had never attempted any violence, either before or during the operation of the candle. rides. The housekeeper, who had not the same im politic compassion for the prisoner, swore, that one of them had -oetroptaffied to her that he had rudely en tered ber chamber when she was in bed, but that her, threats induced him to retire. The prisoner denied thint he knew any thing of the matter, and refused to answer a question. Mr. Hicks regretted weedy that there etisted no legal , ground far committing the pri soner. He trusted that the edmonitiop given to him this day would work some change in his conduct, and assured Mm, that if either of the complainants had died in consequence of that he had administered, no thing could have saved him from the gallows, He was then allowed to depart. The neighbourhood of ' the Office was exceedingly crowded, and the *feat was awaited with the utmost impatience. Belcham is nearly fifty years Gine. WORSlfltc.laktn.—Xestetday Charlene Lahore, Alizainh Skeyard, and Ma npies, servants of J. King, Esq. of Highbury Terrace, Minima, were charged with stealing a 4dantity of wine, rum, and' brandy. The family left town a few days since, when the prisoners got a smith to open the cellar.door, and sent for their friends, for whom they kept an open house; but their conduct being perceptible ro the neighbours, they wrote to Mr. King, and he came to town, and finding the prisoners in a state of inebriety, he had them taken into Custody. Oa examination, they admitted having takes half a dozen of port and some rum and brandy.—Remanded. Quten-souane.—Yesterday J. etfiNereghtose, Esq. Deputy Commissary-General in the Peninsula, was brought from St. Martin's Watch-house, in the cus tody of Newman, the Constable, for committing most outrageous assaults on Major Toole, of the 32d, Cap. tain O'Connell, of the 67th, and the Waiters of the Salopian Coffeehouse, Charing-cross, and for break. ing the furniture and windows of the Coffee.room, on Wednesday night. The Magistrate ordered the Clerk to commit the prisoner until he produced bail. —Captain O'Connell said he had charges to prefer against Thornton, the watchman of St. Martin's, and he would punish him, let it cost what it would. He stated, that when be ordered him to proceed to the watch-house with the prisoner, [he could not assist himself, having lost an arm,) the watchman suffered the prisoner to break from him, so as to be able to strike him, and when he expostulated with him, he putted him off the road, and said he would knock him down also i that, after they were in the Watch. house, the watchman said, in a sneering manner, when Major Toole and he were signing the charge— Why don't you call yourselves Colonels ? you may as well, for it ia all stuff."—oldr. CoLatmovic-4; He , shall be committed to Tothill-fields prison until lie produces bail." Among the articles of provisions which have re cently fallen in price, we do not notice that of milk ; and we are the more surprised at it, as hay, corn, land, and cattle, which ought to regulate the price of milk, are aU at a depreciated value. By Returns presented to the House of Commons it appears that, from 1798 to 1816, the least number of Aliens resident in any year in this kingdom, was 18,090 (in 1807). The highest f 22,616, which is the number at present. The greAtest number of Aliens sent out of the kingdom in any year was 118, in 1798 : the least was 4, in 1814. In 1803, about 1700 were ordered to quit the kingdom, but not being per fitted to land on the Continent, they returned, and wire allowed w reside here. The sum claimed in 1814 by the British Govern. ment for the maintenance of French prisoners, was 46.799,678. The claim for expense of prisoners for 1815 has not yet been made—the amount is 471,995.

The favourite colours are, Po mona green, drakes neck, a light full blue, spring green, pink, and primrose. A melancholy event took place on Saturday, the 15th ultimo, at a corn-mill near Alton, the property of the Earl of SHRRWSBURY, which was occupied by a respectable tenant (Mr. BURTON). The flood in eroasing very rapidly on Friday evening, rose consi derably higher than had been known for some years, aaii penetrated in an extraordinary manner into a part of the foundation of the mill, and on' half was nearly levelled in an instant. A miller, who was dressing one of the stones, was buried in the ruins, with a favourite dog which accompanied him. Mr. BURTON, with three others, were emptying some sacks of corn into that part of the garners which is still re maining, and fortunately received very little injury. NIBBLING DEPUDATiRI.--A few days ago a widow, who keeps a public boost at North Shields, went to a drawer where she had deposited £25, in bank notes, when to her grief she found the whole of them shattered by mice in such a manner, as to ren der them a total loss. A MONSTEIL—Sunday evening, about nine o'clock, as Min Cutout:a CRANK, a young lady, residing in Greek•street, Soho, was returning home from a walk, she received a stab with some sharp instrument from a man wbo passed her without speaking to her. The instrument enterediabove the knee, and laid open her thigh as far as the hip, and the assassin immediately ran off without speaking. A Surgeon being sent for, dressed the .wound; and it was his opinion, that the wound would have been mortal, but that the length of the bones of the stays prevented the instrument from entering the abdomen. We are happy, on in quiry, to learn, that she is our of danger. From the slight view she had of the villain, she thinks him to be a slim youth of about twenty years of age.
