(Concluded from the Seas of Thursday.) "In Italy a public taste inevhably sprang from this political expediency; and habitsof long-practised judg =tilt and well-exercised discrimination produced the singular phenomenon of a nation of virtuosi. Towards the commencement of the sixteenth century the Roman and Tuscan people had become, with respect to paint ing, what the lowest of the Athenians had once been' with respect to language ! The orators of a free Go vernment had made a nation of philulogi-ts ; a Church despotism had created a population of dilettanti. For Governments, in particular stages of society, make the people; in others, the people make the Governments. " While the natives of a country, which once fought Inc the mastery of the world, were occupied with an art to which all pretended, the munificent merchants of the Italian Republics 'turfed into competition with • Poises and Princes ; and if they could not outbid such sumptuous competitors, they at lesst assisted in raising the price of the precious commodities.- Thus, from the period when poetry held the ascendant in the persons of Dante and Petrarch, to the birth of philosophy in tilt cradle of Galileo, the rich rewards of genius flowed exclusively in one channel, and were lavished on those great painters and sculptors, whose works, while they beautified churches and embellished shrines, contri buted to extend a system that rejected no ally however feeble, nor refused any support however incongruons. " The great poets of the sixteenth century were forced to woo their patrons; the painters were to be courted, and were rarely won unsought. The immortal creators of the a Jerusalem' and the Orlando' waited despondingly in the antichambers of the pitiful D'Este, while Vinci took his place in the saloons of Kings, and Titian rejected the invitations of Emperors.° Towards the close of the sixteenth cen tury, new interests and new wants arose, which occa sioned new adaptations of human ingenuity. The lie. formation came—the greatest event of modern times., It was the policy of the new religion to carry on her system by a stern rejection of all the meretricious means by which the old church had effected her scheme of u.urpation. She wanted no pictures, and patronized 110 artists.f Equally bent upon supremacy as her great predecessor, she called in new aids to accomplish her ends; .he affected to engage reason on her side, and to found faith on proof. But more bent ofi her object, than considerate of her means, she discarded too little or too much ; and did not foresee that reason, usurping the ter, ivory it was called in to defend, would eventu ally t atm light on the retained abuses, : as it had 'Ton th•ise rejected. In discarding the arts and preserving the tithes, the reformed church at once loosened her stro ,Kest hold on the imagination, and armed the • • cal 'dating passions against her. Philosophy, meanwhile, leaving reFotm to its strut. gl s, and theology to its sophisms, availed herself of t e license of the times, and of the inquiring spiritof tire age. She same forth with her great ezpeiimental truths to better the condition of humanity, to lessen its inflictions, to meet its wants, and to diminish the many ills which Ash is heir to.' fler object was the hap piness of mankind ; and her agent, knowledge. Ob siructed in every step of her. progre s s , — cond e mned as infidel, for expounding the laws cf nature v L-and perse cuted for truths, for which she deserved to be deified, still she advanced—slowly indeed, but firmly: moral and physical evil, error and disease, bigotry and the phigue, receded before her luminous progiess. Philo sophers, it is to ue, perished. in the dungeons of inquisi tions, or fed the flames of In auto da fe ; but philoso phy survived and ttinanphe'd.. Nut so the art, which Lad so long made a part and parcel of the church and state legislature of Christendom. " In the begioning of the seventeenth century, the great market for painting was closing, never again to be open with equal splendour, save under the presiure of exigencies, vast, influential, and _incorporated with the interests of society, as those in which the prosperity and perfection of the art had originated. The grind historical acid epic masters of the splendid. sehtkili of Rome, Tuscany, and Lombardy, the sc%ooli of R.4hiel,. eel Da Vinci, and of the Cirracei, were now replaced by the - well-named g Dependeatil of Cardinals, by the court limners of the Bourbons, and the 'sergeant pay otors of the.Stuarts,—the subservient decOrators of the Es curial, the Tuileries, and Whitehall. The system of politics, which, in the beginning of the seventeenth cen tury, drove nearly all Europe to the haiardous'expe riment of revolution, had its influence on the arti; and assisted with other causes to degrade its professors. It was in vain that such names as Rubens, Poussin, and Vandyke, illustrated and almost redeemed the list of court painters of this degraded epoch. Even the Wil liam genies Of such men submitted to the influence of the . times I and an eternal series of hatchet-faced kings and BA ten-wigged queens, with all their allegorical virtues,—unreal as the monsters by which they were represented,—afford a running commentary on the dic tation imposed on the art, and en the influence exercised by the presuming patronage and the overweening con ceit of princely pretenders. " Royal vanity, which, like " self-love, loves pr. triits,"s circumscribed those talents which should have belonged to ages and to nations, within the narrow limits • Leonardo da Vinci was the guest of Francis the First, and died ha his arms at Fontainebleau. Titian refused the special invi tations pf Charles the Fifth, and of Philip the Second, his son. t Among the votes pasted in the Parliament of 1656, were two sufficiently singular, eaceeding even, the persecution of the ans by the first Protestant Reformers. Ordered that all such pictures -- diere (in the Royal Collection) as shall have the representation of the s coral prams of the Trinity on them. shall be forthwith burnt; that all such pictures as have the representation of the Virgin Mary upon them; shall be forthwith burnt.' The pictures without any superstition uPon them were fold fur the benefit of Me peer /nab !! See X l iersatif the Jiousel Cantata. This destruction of pictures during the first heat of the Here lake, wallas sortie measure political as well as religious ; being a eoutiter-bleep to that taste for the Fine Arts, which Charles had en deavoureA to reader national, to the neglect of better things. - _ 6 Varteir pars ;shoe les portraits.'

Still,' with all opplianco and raeoPtetb keiPts thegenius of painting sunk beneath. such distinctions. The secret and the importance of the art were lost to gether.ll The fires which had warmedthe soul of Michael Angelo under the dome of the Vatican, were iluencbeik' the zeal which led the pilgrim steps . of the Caracci and their disciplesi to Rome and •Naples, was no•more ;' and, towards the end of the seventeenth century, that long list of illustrious masters, who, by their mighty; genius and lofty spirits, had raised the art to its highest 1 excellence, and given dignity to the profession, was closed for ever, and terminated in the person of one, well worthy of the splendid but melancholy pre-erni trence,—one who, distinguished above all his predeces sors as the ' FamosO pittore delle eose has still been more celebrated than known, by the name of SALVATOR ROSA.- " The Flemish school, which succeeded to the Italian, was comparatively but of short duration. It opened and closed within a century. From Cimabite, the founder of the Italian school, to Calla Maratti and Sal •Atmr Rosa, who were esteemed the lad of its atastent, there is included a space of nearly five centuries." DOMESTIC ECONOMY. Preservation of Eggs and Potatoes. The Scotch method of preserving eggs, by dippi ng them in boding water, which destroys the living prsn •! ciple, is too well known to need further notice. The preservation of potatoes, by similar treatment, is 'also a valuable and useful discovery. Large quantities may be cured at once, by putting them into a basket ss i large as the vessel containing the boiling water will ad-, mit, and then just dipping them a minute or two at the, utmost. The $4, m, which r, so near to the skin, is thus! " killed," without injuring the potatoe. In this way se; venal tons might be cured in a few hours. They should then be dried in a waim oven, and laid up in sacks or ! casks, secure from the frost, in a dry place. Another method of preserving this valuable rout is, first to peel them, then to grate them down to a pulp,, which 1. put into coarse cloths, and the water squeezed out by putting them ilto a common press, 6y which means they are formed into fiat cakes. There is yet another method practised by some people, which is very effectual—namely—by cutting out, with' ' a small pointed knife, all the eyes or germs. There is' no need that the wound be either•cleep or large, as the germ is very easily dissolvei. alkgositxd as monsters. Still, hi all these portraits there is much of the " human face dieine ;" but what will posterity say to the pictures of some of the " Singes titres" of reigning dynasties? —those of Sardinia and Naples, for instance —or even of the portraits of Rae 0 Hun, the Goth, and the Calinue," as inseparably connected as Brown, Junes, aid Robinson (the heroes of" Read ing made easy"), and henceforward to be designated in history as the " three Gentlemen of Verona? . § Vandyke, when he arrived in England, was lodged among the King's artists at Blackfriars, whither the -King frequently came, bespeaking pictures of the Queen, his children, and his courtiers. d Portrait-painting, as a distinct branch of the art. only begin with the commencement of the seventeenth century, when the name of " ritrettinr was given to the Italian limners of that day. " we have other pictures titan portraiu (says H. Walpo/e), and paint ing has ampler fields to range in than private apartments, it is in vain to expect that the arts will recover their genuine lustre." Kneller, the last eminent name given to the arts before that barbarous in terval which occurred in England between his day and that of Sir J. Reynolds, had turned the profession into a trade. Such men, where they offered one picture to (ante, sacrificed twenty to lucre, and lessened their own reputation, by making it subservient to their fortunes. llonsiniclitcso, Lacifranco, &c. PRIVILEGES OF•tHE-BAR. ' . COViT b 17111.3,4 in. g a i r . Thi Record,'Stourgeo.n . 9..DoUglaf, and others, came on for it this 'day, before 'Mr. JustiCat JEST. Mr. WALIAca stated . the'case.of the plaintiff, Stogy geon; towirdi the citnclusiais he made reflections uplM the character of Mr, Birlow, an eminent and highly re sPectable Solicitor, of :North Greif . .George s i-street, grounded 'upon the anticipation of that gendentan's coming forwaid to give his testimony as to the identify ing the hand-writing of the testator, whose will was the Ilmsbject matter of controversy, in,4much as Mr. B. de ''rived a. considerable interest himself under the will; the observations were strong, forcible, and severe. After the rising of the Court:Mr. Birluw, who was of Gouwel for the defendants, and SOll to the Gentle- Man reflected upon by Mr. Wallace; publitly addressed the latter Gentleman, and told him that passage in his pitatement, alluding to his father, 41 was grossly false." 'SOme conversation passed; and the Getitlerrien retired. Nest day, when the Court was about to rise, Mr. CIUDIPrON ro s e to make a Motion connected with the privileges of the Bar, which, ha said, ivtts'vio. listed in the pei son of an able and mtable member belonging to it. The offence comp lained.of Was a great violation of the law—a great personal insult— and much to be deprecated, even upon the.scoce of the public justice of the country.; He coacluded_with moving for an attachment against Mr. James Barkiw, for the warm language which had .been used .by. that' Gentleman to Mr. Wallace: He held in his hand an affidavit touching these facts. Covar—No doubt the course which remains to be punned, is, indeed, avery painful one.. Mr. ilotstes said, if a criminal information was moved for, an opportunity would be afforded of an swering it. The Counr would give time to answer the charges stated in the affidavit. Mr. WALLAca said, the present proceedings were to him most painful, but he would consider himself un worthy to wear a . bar gown, or hold the rank of a British subject, if be submitted to the violation of the law in his person. He could not charge himself with having used any expressions that he would retract, if the Gentleman (Mr. B.) was to have given his evi `dence. His case was not a personal one, and he was no further interested, than as it was connected-with the dignity of the profession to which" he belonged. The COURT would not feel that Mr. Wallace was worthy to hold the high situation and rank of one of his Majesty's Counsel, had he so far forgotten the du ties annexed re his, as not to bring the matter before the CoUrt. Mr. Wallace's manly avowal in , the case was to be approved—the interest of public justice made it imperative I'm him to act as he had done. A copy of. Mr. Waaace's affidavit,was ordered to be surved upon Mr. Xiallow trickly. stonnay, MARCH 1. Mr, CRAMPTON rose to move the Court touching the difference between the two legal Gentlemen, when The itnms said, that Mr. BArlow was bound over to appear an the firsr day of the next Term, and which was ruled en the book of the Court. This termination of the difference gave considerable satisfaction to the friends of both the Gentlemen. ~ .._ ~1 .~ ~ ~ . r" ) . • POLICE INtELLIGE.VCE. • mANsio7ctiousr. • satvtial.„,Cosr nekiir, who stands charged with having stolen upwards bf 411000 in Bank -notes, out of the banking-house of Pialaws. Lloyd and Jones, of Lothbury, was brought up for final einutUnetion- Some of the stolen notes were passed at Gravesend acid . Bristol, where the prisoner was well knoWn, but from either ot, these places no witness appeared. The Bankers appeared to b, quite satis fi ed with the evidence affecting the - 110 Moe, and eon. quite satittietl with the evidence affecting the EiO titite, and con. oed thanisehtes to that cue. Mr. Wood, one of thesa4hiers, wbre wps sorting the nqpes at the time the robbery was committed, could peg Identity the prisoner as the robber, but was confident tile £lO Wit produced was in the parcel.— Mr. 'l'ootley, another cashier, iweeived the £lO note about four o'clock of the day of the robbery, .11W had not since taken it out for circulation. Other clerks had, access to the drawer in which it was deposited, but none had I:een dismissed on account of the robbery.—A third cashier said he sat iu such a Position as to be aisle to see very distinctly the person of the thief; be was standing quietly in a part of the office, and cud dealy darting upon the notes, made his ese.sr, the upper part of his face was exactly like that of the prisoner, but the lower part was not so thin. Mr. floyd said, had he taken any notes from the drawer, on the day of the robbery, he should have madean entry of It. it was ob served that mistakes of the kind had occurred, and the note might Lave been put in circulation bysome onewho had access to the drawer. The Lona MATO% was of opinion the case was sufficiently strong to scud to a Jury, and although Mr. Wilde pressed a postponement, the prisoner was cominitted. GO W. ST RF.F.T. Late on Saturday evening, Thomas Frederick Crease and Etizandlk . Amin, his wife, were brought before G. H. Miasmas., Fog. to the cestody of S almon, one of the principal officers, charged on sus. picion of stealing jewellery, and other valuable property, to amount of about £Boo, from the house of Mrs. Kealy, a Lady re. siding in Upper Harley-street. Mrs. Kealy is as aged and very Infirm Lady, and the female pri soner had lived in her service for nearly le years, was her constant at tendant, and possessed her entire confidence. Heiconduct was irre- I proachable, and so high was the opinion entertained of her by her mistress, that she was entrusted with the care of everything of value in the house. Some time ago abt formed an acquaintance with the hale prisoner, who is a translator of languages, well known tat ' many of the principal booksellers, and considered an accomplished 1 young nun ; and within a few weeks they were (as she avers) ruar . ried. She suddenly absrondeil from Mrs. lealy's house, and of count: a circumstance so unlooked-for and so extraordinary excited I suspicion that all was not right. Mrs. Keely,s drawers and abet places or deposit were examined, and it was discovered that almost, all her valuable jewellery and articles of that description were gone., Every watch was made fur her and her bulb .nd, but in vain. Such evidence, however, was obtained as to place the delinquency of the absent parties almost beyond a doubt, and an indictment was pre ferred against them before the Grand Jury, a true bill found, and a Judge's warrant issued. The warrant was put into the hands of Salmon, who Otained information that the prisoners were gone to the Continent. He followed and traced them to Ostend; where, in a few hours, he succeeded in apprehending the woman, but was not so successful with repeet to the Mill, until just as :.e was about Ito embark, when hr discovered him he rather a singular manner. Salmon called in at an English tavern, where he wa, known, and while speaking to the landlord, he saw the prisoner sitting. He bad never seen him before, but feeling convinced, from the description he hattreeeived, that he must be the man he wanted, hi called him by name, and soon found. that he, was right. On "'retching the pri soners, he found sonic books and a bunch of keys belonging to Mrs. Kealy, and pawnbrokers duplicates for a portion of the stolen jewel. kry, which had been pledged in this country. These were sealed up by the proper authorities at Ostend, and Salmon brought them with the prisoners, to England. The prisoners were brought before the Magistrate separately, the woman first. She was absorbed in tears, and when asked if she wished to say anything, she sobbed out, " Nothing, Sir." The other pannier, when put' to the bar, seemed perfectly composed; and in answer to an intimation from the Nlagistrate. that be was at liberty so say anything he pleased, be merely said, " 1 shall say nothing at present, Sir." Tile prisoners were committed to separate. jails foe a final exanii. nation on Sattirday nett. UNIVERSITY and CLEiI. CAI! INTELLIGE.VM - CAMBRIDGE. MARCH 3.
