DEATH OF VIRGINIUS. The ptivate view on Saturday of thi; painting at the! Egyptian 11.411 was numerously and elegantly attended. Monsieur LE THIERE was present, and teemed to be moth gratified with the compliments very generally paid lri this noble effort of his art, M. LE THIERE fully sustains the great celebrity which his former painting of the Judgment of Brfa la so justly acquired for him. Lt the choice of subjects he has been peculiarly bapyy, and the present ileture will not be beheld without ex citing varied emotions in the breast of the spectator. SOCIETY OF PAIN lERS IN WATER COLOURS, Saturday we were favuuted with a private view of the Exhibition of l'aintings in Water Colours. It is gratifying to record that ti's exhibition, like each of the preceding exhibitions, displays renewed and aug mented improvement in this interesting department of the pict(itial art. This may not, and we had almost said cannot, be expected in future, as really the utmost pc:fiction appears to have been attained in many of the performances of the ;resent year. Mr. Copeley Fielding, Mr. Varley, and Mr. Barret, have many admirable paintings. Messts. Richter, Dewint, Turner, Cox, and others, have valuable paint ings in the spresent collection ; but, for the present, we shall only add, that the Exhibition is a delightful one, and eminently met its the liberal pattonage and encourage ment wh ch we a• e glad to be assured that it receives Arcot g the fashion ible company present at the private view on Saturday we n ticed— The Prince of Saxe Coburg, the Dukes of Norfolk and Devon shire, the Duke and Duchess of Bedford, the Marchioness of Staf ura, the Earl and Countess of Tankerville, the Earl and Countess of Essex ; Earls lkownlow, Grey, Durham, Gower, Harrowby, Ste. Lords Cawdor, Grantham ; Lord and Lady Fataborough, &c. some of the Forei g n Ambassadors, Sir Thomas Lawrence, and other Members of the Royal Academy. The improvements in the Park are now very rapidly advancing. On Saturday the small bit of ground, or, as it is called the Ait," which has attracted so much novice, was entirely plantel with evergreens and rose trees. Upon the whole the walks and shrubbery, even in their unfinished state, present a we; y pretty picture. The Middlesex Lunatic Asylum is to be erected at Hanwell, on some ground brlonging to Lord JEasev, and for which a sum of 11,5001. is to be given. The cost of the ettction of the building is e.timated at 100,0001. A inagnificent copy of the Vulgate, wricen on vel lam, and 100 other valuable books, were stolen last 'eek fiom the Archishop of ARMAGH'S library in DoMin—the Bible was valued at 1000 guineas. A new Farce was read at Covent Garden Theatre, on Wednesday, called Babes out of the Wood, which, according to Green Room report, is likely to be very effective. The Babes are KEELEY and Miss Gowarto. Fawcett has an admirable part in it, equal it is said, to Captain Copp. Mrs.lAvarronr and Mr. Witscu are both pleased with the characters allotted to them.— Ptak a is the reputed author. GAIL!

MAJOR LAING AND CAPTAIN CLAPPERTON It is with great concern we state, that there is no longer any doubt with respect to the fate of these en terprising. persevering, but unfortunate travellers. They have both been murdered. The Pasha of Tripoli has received letters from one of his officers in the interior of Africa, communicating the painful intelligence. • It appears that Major Laing was severely wounded by robbers in the territory of Toualt. Having, how ever, recovered, in consequence of the kind attention of a marabout, or priest, he at length .succerded in teach ing Timbuctoo. But he had scarcely arrived before the Foulahs, that powerful and warlike horde which at present reigns exclusively over the immense deserts of central 'Viten, came, to the number of thirty thou sand, and demanded that M jot Laing should be de livered up to them, that they might put him to death ; " and thus," as they observed, " prevent Christian na tions from receiving such infurmatnin as might enable them, at some future period, to penetrate into and enslave the countries of Africa." Before the arrival of the Foulahs, twenty•four chiets, among whom was a feniale called Nina Beira (Princess Mother) commanded simultaneously in Timbuctoo. Oae of these Chiefs, of the name of Othman Voold Q'raid Aboubekhr, had re ceived Major Laing into his house, on the recommenda tion of the Sheik II Mokhtar, with whom he had taken refuge after having escaped the daggers of the Hangars. When the Foulahs presented themselves before Timbuc too, and demanded Major Lais:g's head. his host,Othman Vould Qnaid Aboubekhr, contrived his escape at night, escorted by several servants, who were supposed to be trust-worthy. If unfortunately happened, however, that one of them, of the name of l!ehliel; had been bribed by the Toulahs ; and this fellow . not only delivered Major Laing into their hands, but gave him the l`ors[ of the stabs tinder which he fell. Every body knows the, praises which D.:triton and Clapperton, in their Narrative, published two years ago, bestowed on the • Sultan Bello, the sovereign of these very Foulahs, who have just assassinated Laing, and Clapperton himself. It was a relation of the Sultan Hello's, Alihmed Labbori, who ref aired to Timbuctoo, un the arrival of Major Icing. After having accom plished his immediate object by the assassination of our brave friend, he destroyed the oligarchy in Timbuctoo —:-and established, as the sole Governor of the city, tire very Othman Vould Q raid Aboubekhr, whom we have already mentioned. Poor Clapperton was murdered at Sakatoo, the:ordinary residence of the Sultan Br!lo; notwithstanding the• kind reception which he had ex lierienced from the Sultan on his first visit. This double 'perfidy of the African Prince, by whom these sanguinary acts have been either ordered or permitted—and that after having shown so much attachment to the English —appears to have been simply owing to the disc ust Created in his mind by certain individuals, who repre sented our unfortunate countrymen as spies; sent for the purpose of ascertaining the best means of facilitating the conquest of his country.—Literary Gazette. Saturday the dispatches were closed at the East India House, and delivered to the Pursers of the following ships—viz. London, Captain Tistortiv SMITH, and Canning, Captain PHILIP BArLIS, for China direct. FlRES.—Saturday evening, about nine o'clock, a fire broke Out in the lower part of a house in Playhouse. yard, Whitecross.street, St. Luke's, occupied by a MI. WALFOHD, dealer in marine stores. The flames were exceedingly rapid in their progress, in a short time en veloping the whole house in one body of fire ; and in about an hour the entire building was reduced to a heap of ruins. About twelve o'clock last night, the family of Mr. YOUNG, of Grafton -street, Soho, were thrown into alarm by a lit e bursting out in the shop which spread %i ith great rapidity. In the alarm of the moment, Mrs. Yours jumped into the street from . her bed-room window on the second floor, and was taken up in a state of insen sibility, and we regret to state, has sustained very severe injury. The remainder of the family escaped without injury. Tile fire twilici it is believed originated thruugla the negligence of an apprentice) destroyed the shop and *lnfer rooms before it was extinguished. SPORTING INTELLIGENGE. .~ ~~ . NEWMARKET FIRST.

Every European tongue has, however, terms enough. The changes of position In an alphabet of twenty letters is almost Infinite.
