FINE . . IXTRACi PROM A PRIVATE LETTER: " BERLIN, NOVEMBER 7. 44 Our town is uncommonly dull, as the KING has. ,been so very long absent. The PRINCE ROYAL has also left Berlin again, to join his august father at Aix-la-Chapelle. Mr. RAUCH, our famous sculptor, is not yet returned from Breslau, where he went to ;consult with the Representatives OF Silqa, who have entrusted him with the execulion of the model for a brass statue; to be erected in memory of our valiant Old hero, Prince BLUCHER. Mr. SCIIADOW, from whose Model a similar one has lately been cast here, which is to be erected at Rostock, at the expense of the States of Mecklenburgh, has exhibited the two basso relievos with which the pedestal of the statue is to be decorated ; while the two other sides of it are to be occupied by inscriptions planned by our famous poet GOETHE, who has had the superintendance of the whole. The exhibition of the walks of our Ar tists, which has taken place in the new built rooms of the Royal Acadenty, is to close to morrow, after having been open to the Public for more than six weeks. Amongst the sculpurees a fine bust of Prince 'HARDENBERO, done in marble, by Raven, has at tracted particular attention; a nd two others, one of ' Mr. OFFLAND, the famous performer; and the other of his Excellency M. SERGEBARTH, Postmaster-Ge neral, by Mr. WICHMANN, have also been much ad- Mired. Amongst the pitures, we have noticed two large battle pieces, one by Mr. Ws:itself, represent ' ing the Battle of Bar-sur-Aube ; and the other by Nlz. SCHUMANN, representing that of Calm. Both of these, as well as another of inferior merit, and exhi biting the Battler( the liatzbac, have been purcha sed by a Frenchman, of the name of LA who, after having Germanized himself, is called TBAUENDORF, Or TRAUENSTEIN. A copy of one of Ritrisitzes Holy Families (belonging to the King of SPAIN, and sent' to Paris to be mended and varnished there), by Mr. WACT, is uncommonly well done. " A beautiful picture by SCHINKEL, our famous Architect, exhibiting the two statues of the Grand Elector and of Frederick the Great, both on horse back under a mighty perch surrounded by crowds, with the metropolis in the back ground, is the object of universal admiration. The Painter gave it to the Prince Royal as a present on his birth-day. The por trait of the Indian Juggler Balagu, whom you u ill recollect having seen performing in London, with his attendant, by Mr. HENSEL ; a Carthusian Monk, by Mr. SCHADOW (presently at Rome) ; a Cooper's Work shop,. by Mr. ROLBE ; a Wreath of Flowers, with the portrait of our late Queen in the centre, by the cele brated Flower Painter, Mr. 'VA LEER, are among the best of the other productions of our Artists. As pro ductions of other Artists, I ought•particularly to no tice the very elegant articles from the shop of Messrs. YERICKE, silversmiths, who, amongst other things, have exhibited a large tankard decorated with the full-length images of eight Knights in full armour. This tankard is to be the property of one family which ranks amongst the noblest of. our country, 1 mean the Rocitows. Eight Gentlemen of this name, all serving in his Majesty's army, fought against the French in the glorious campaigns of 1813 and 1814. —These Gentlemen have determined on meeting once a year on one of the estates of a member of their family, of dining there, and of drinking ' out of this tankard, which of course is to be created a family property, and to be preserved as such as long as one of the Roenow's exist. Hot eowav's Engravings of the Cartoons, belonging to the Royal Academy, are also exhibited, and excite general admiration. A portrait of our famous bo tanist, Professor Wildenow, does not answer the ex pectations of his friends, and is altogether a very in different production. " The Playhouse is rising from its ruins with such wonderful celerity, that the Architects expect to be able to erect the roof before the bad season comes on. " Several new Professors have been appointed at our University one of them Mr. IlEoet, a friend of Professor SCHELINGS, is reputed to be one of our first philosophers. Mr. A: W. SCHLEGEL, who was ap pointed Professor at our University, is to remain at Bonn, the new Rhenish University, where he is to lecture." CUANTRY'S Statue of the late Lord MELVILLE, now placed in the Outer Parliament House, Edin burgh, is of white marble, standing on a pedestal six feet high, and the figure is seven feet nine inches in height. Its drapery is that of a Viscount of the Uni ted Kingdom, dressed in his Parliamentary robes: it is esteemed a masterpiece of art: the attitude is grace ' fill and commanding, and the likeness excellent. 'ROYAL ACADEMY.—Last night Mr. CARLISLE de livered, to a numerous audience, a Lecture on Ana tomy. It was observed and explained at length, that the same general system prevailed throughout the organization of all animals ; that the nature and pro perty of the latent power of vitality, which animated all, was totally unknown. The course of nature, in the replenishment of waste and decay, was com mented upon; after which a general survey of the organization of the internal parts took place, and the economy of nature with respect to its hydraulic, pneumatic s and chemical operations, was particularly dwelt upon. The Professor remarked, that the rea son of some circumstances in nature was difficult to be accounted for, though the same was observed as a system 'in many animals. It could not be satisfac torily explained why the fingers of the numan hand were limited to the number of five, yet the same member form the wings of the bat, are prefixed to the ends of the wings of many bird;, and five bones analogous to the human fingers, characterize the fins of the whale. After remarking that the foundation of every art and science originally existed in nature, and that many were derived from the structure of the human body, the Professor concluded. It has been observed by philosophic travellers, that the passion for play pervades all ages and countries, and exists as strong in the untutored savage, as in the refined European. This is not surprising, when we consider the universal de:,ire for power and wealth, and how easily they may be acquired by the. smile of Fortune; for every person who now buys a Ticket or Share, may leap into independence NExT Tues- DAT, when the very first-drawn Prize will receive one of. he Four Prizes of Thiity Thousand Pounds, 'in addition to whatever Prize it may be armorn. sijozitrAw .---- k.sTriNC A t TArraasAtt.s YESTIthDAT.

Rainer was from twelve to twenty yards a-head at the min (half the ground) and he made great play to catch his adversary, after running the twenty-five yards further.

By Act of Parliament they were nrdered to lay down certain roads, from the Forest of Dean to the river Wye. hi consequence of their having laid down one of these roads in a certain direction, several Gentlemen had laid eiit im mense sums of money in opening collieries near the said road; when the Committee of the Company (nearly the whole of which consisted of proprietors of other collieries) suffered the road in que,tion to ' fall into disrepair, and refused to renew it, for the purpose of preventing competition in the coal-mar ket. Some of them had given other reasons for their refusal ; but one openly avowed • his intention to de press any rival in the trade. By the Act of Parlia- • ment, they had no authority to take up any road af ter they had once constructed it.—The Court granted a Rule to shew cause. PALMERS t 7. PARE:CRS. This was an action on the case, brought by the re versioners of some coal-pits ; and the defence set up was, that the action should have been in assumpsit, and not in case. Mr. TAUNTON, in showing cause why the verdict for the defendants should not be set aside, and a new trial be granted, went at great length into the evi dence, to shew that the defendants had done no act which could be called a tort ; but were Jiahle, if at all, under an agreement or licence by which !1:e coal-pits had originally bean let. He admitted that this agreement had been deviated from in many par ticolars ; but it had been deviated from by both par ties, from the very commencement of the lease up to the present time, and with the full knowledge cf the plaintiffs. The parties, he contended, had all along been treating on the terms of contract ; and ,the husband of one of 'the plaintiffs being, at the same time, occupier of the mine as tenant with the other defendants, the plaintiffs could not but he bound by what was done by one of the reversioners, fur so this individual was, in right of his wife. Up to November, 1817, money had been regularly re ceived, under the name of mine-rent. It was true that the defendants had worked wider a certain pad dock, without measuring the size of the mine on the surface, as they were bound to do by the agreement ; but the agreement had been deviated from by both parties: admeasurements or. the surface had never been made in any one instance for twenty-seven years: and the reason why the measurement was not made on the paddock was, that the surface remaining un touched, there was nothing to be paid to the occu pier. He then endeavoured to shew that the plain tiffs knew that excavations were going on tinder the paddock ; one of them having observed that the houses on the surface had swagged. Chief Justice Assort- seemed to think that the evidence of the plaintiff having notice of these exca vations under the close was far from being clear, and that they might be greatly prejudiced, if the surface admeasurement were omitted, having no other means of ascertaining the quantity of coals carried a-s•ay. Mr. TAUNTON, aster stating that they might enter the mine for this purpose, endeavoured to explain a circumstance, that . upon one occasion the plaintiffs were refused admission to a certain part of the mine ; which was contrary to the agreement; but at' the moment they were so excluded, they were.told that excavations had taken place in the part they wished to enter ; and it was only for . the purpose of giving them this knowledge, that the clause of•entry was inserted in the agreement : he relied on the circurir stance that the defendants had all along acted under the agreement, and that tile plaintiffs had notice of all their transactions: it would Le very hard, after they had laid out large sums in engit,es and machi nery upon the strength of the aereement, that they should at once be treated•as wrong-doers instead of tenants, and all their money be thrown away. Mr. PULLER, on the other side, contended that the.• verdict was obtained, in consequence orthe direction of the Learned Judge who presided; and . which he insisted was much stronger than the facts warranted. The Learned. Judge ha *told the Jury, that if the plaintiffs were to recover in this action, all the money the defendants had laid out on the premises for twenty seven years would be thrown away. But, surely, if the plaintiffs had recovered damages for injury doge • to one paddock, it could not follow that an ejeetesent would lie for the rest of the prettifies that passed un der the agreement. No rent had been paid 'for the paddock under which the injury complained of had been committed. Chief Justice Aaao'ry said, there were coosidel-- able difficulties.in the case; and he thought it but proper that it should go again before a Jury, to as certain certain points, upon which it did not stern that very distinct evidence had been adduced. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, ROVILTIER l e. The Court was occupied till after twelve o'clock in hearing bail justified. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGH • HARDRAM r. cistisTOP. Mr. Serjeant Contra mentioned,• that in this case, after reference to the Chief Justice, who had presided at the trial, for it had been tried in Hertford at the last Assizes, by a most respectable Special Jury, and after full consideration of all the circumstances, they felt no disposition to recede from the verdict of trx Jury. He had not been aware that his Learned Bro ther, Serjeant Taddy, had obtaiaed a rule, till notice was served. He was Su.-prized to find that the me was founded, not upon an affidavit. but on the recor•l. T.ie CLUNY JUSTICE said, that brother Taildylud mentioned the case as shortly as it was possible. Mr. "Serjeant TADDY, who had come into Court in II 1
