Past Events : an Historical Novel, of the Eighteenth Century. London. S vols. Bvo. 1821. In our restricted space, we cannot abridge or analyze a narrative which fills three good sized octavos. The bare outline is all that we can give. It turns upon the fortunes of a lovely girl, who is taken up as a found ling by a wealthy, kind-hearted Spanish Grandee, edu cated and presented to the world as his niece. All the young Dons of bladrid become enamoured of her, but 1 in vain. Her affections centre on Alfonso, a young of- ; ficer of the Guards, the nephew and heir of her bene factor. The interest of the story turns upon the obstacles which her obscure or igin interposes to prevent this mar riage, and the attempts of a profligate young Grandee to carry her off from the family of her protector. Her adventures and sufferings are told with much probabi lity and great tor ce. She is at last discovered to be in deed the niece of her benefactor, and the doaughter of one of the noblest families of Naples. After all the dif ficulties usual in such cases are surmounted, she marries the heir of Albazetta, and all is happiness and content. There are some lively pictures of Spanish manners in this novel, which harmonize with the general story, and asda in augmenting the interest of the whole. The lan guage is good, and the style fluent and easy throughout. BRITISH INSTITUTION. FEHIBITION OF THE WORKS oF THE ITALIAN, FLEMISH, DUTCH, AND ENGLISH SCHOOL. One apartment in this display is appro i sriated to the works of the English school. In this we behold many fine compositions, by our native artists, yet but a small portion of what could be g altered together of equal worth, which are now equAlly esteemed, valued, and sought by the collector, as treasures of art: but their ingeninus authors are no more. Those Noble Peers, the progenitors of our Noble Peers, who have contributed to stuck this gallery,—were the contemporaries of those great artists,—but they too were collectors of the works of those that had lived before, and generously left their successors to appreciate—what they had not sense enough to feel, or virtue enough to reward—the lis ing genius of their day. Certain Noble Peers, and others, great collectors, are enthusiastic in their admimion of Ilogarth, Nilson, Gairishormigh, Reynolds, and Romney. Wilson they compare to Claude. That Wilson, whose noble mind upheld his hand to paint for the applause o: posterity, in an age that suffered him to pine neglected --without a patron, and to die in obscurity and want ! Hogaith too, he of whom all would boast, rend whom none would serve , was constrained to sell. to one who knew naught of art, his incomparable set ies of paintings of the Marriage a-la-Mode—for one hundred pounds! G.rinsborough, whose landscapes are the daily theme of a thousand new-coined eulogies from the great — who behold his sylvan compositions in. ecstacy, s' as re duced to quit the genial pursuits of land.tcape, to supply vanity with a likeness of itself! RotOney, whose Birth of Shakspeare, to use the cant of dilestantishi,), is now immortalizing the painter with the mighty poet—was beholden to a print-seller for this develorement of a talent, obscured by portrait painting—and which, in the more inventive department , of art, would have raised him to the skies ! S with ltc)nolds, the pride of the English school ; ' had he not sagaciously chosen the path he did to for-' time, he miAlir, prblaps, have laboured on in poetic poverty, and started himself into future fame. Yet did tl.eir contemporaries, as do their posterity, affect to cgmernii portrait painting, and talk loudly to the pro. lessors of the great and grand in art! That the formation of a national gallery of the paint ings of the old masters will greatly tend to improve the public taste, no one, at all conversant with art, will attempt to dispute; for it is only to the general diffu sion of knowledge in these elegant pursuits, that the vast increase of professors in all the flue arts can look for soppor t. But if age is to succeed age, pa) ing none hut posthumous honours to genius, of what benefit will he the general knowledge thus acquired, to tho-e inge- Lions men, who, whatever excellence they may display in their various pictorial compositions, shall address their talent to those who are determined to appreciate pictures only for their age,—for qualities nut within the scope of genius to give?—Literary Museum. AFFRAY BF.TWEEN TUE BLOCKADE AND SMUGGLERS. A few days ago, IV. Foster, marine, of Deal, was crmve}e,l, handcuffed, in a galley, from the Blockade station, to Ramsgate, for examination, under the fol lowing circumstances :—S. Paine was the first witness called, who appeared with his head tied up, one part being laid quite open; he deposed that be was a seaman of his Majesty's snip Ramillies, on the Downs station.— Being out on the morning of the 31st ult. at about one A.M. I:e perceived four or five men with bundles on their backs, running from the river (Sandwich Ilaven), when, supposing them to be smugglers, he ran towards them, desiring them to drop the articles (which he now discovered to be bales), o he would fire in amongst them: they then let the ghods drop, and ran away; shortly after they returned, and with sticks and bludgeons (part of which were produced in Coukbroken, although heade.l with stout metal) began melt unmercifully to beat him, and they again attempted to draw the bales ah:ng the ground, observing which, witness crawled on his hands and knees and made a chop at their hands with his cutlass, when they ran off ; the witness having discharged his pistol several times, remained by the bales, when shortly after Lieutenant C. W. Riley and Mr. Smith (both officers of the same station) came up, and ordered the deponent to proceed to the watch-house, to turn out all hands, and to disperse themselves in dif ferent directions, if possible, to cut off the smugglers ; be then left the ground and went immed;ately to the watch-house. Lieutenant C. W. Riley was next called, who stated that, hearing the report of a nistol, he pro ceeded towards the spot with Mr. Smith, when they found Paine, in a kneeling posture, bleeding profusely. He ordered Paine to go to the watch-house, and call out the other hands. He then, accompanied by Smith, pro ceeded along the side of the bank, when on a sudden the prisoner %V. Foster arose from. the ground and said, " I am one of the men, for GoD's sake do not shoot me, but have mercy on me;" witness answered the prisoner, " How can you expect mercy, you having shewn none to my men ?" and took him in custody to the watch- Louse. The prisoner voluntarily spoke this, and with out any promise or reward being held out to him.— There were Rine bales, containing 196 pieces of India or foreign handkerchiefs, with other articles. The pri soner was fully committed to Maidstone jail. He is a well-looking young man, about 24 years of age. SPORTING iNtfLLIGENCE. . .11f.:11 'lt 11‘i BETITIV3-ROOlll, TATTERSALL'S, JUNE 21. The Mom to-day was tolerably attended; it would have bees better, had not the fights taken place. The different speculations on stakes of last week at Ascot were pleasantly adjusted, and the odds an the Doncaster St. Leger stand precisely as they have done fur several weeks past. FIGHTS AT COLNDROOK, BETWEEN MATHEIA'SON AND AARON; AND WARD AND SAMPSON. The first of these was a Summer fight—a dish of light play, to suit the delicate taste of the high-bred amateurs. The second, first in usual importance, yet minor according to the articles, was a full meal for the glutton of the ring both the real thing, where man. hood, game, and science, were displayed in the highest perfection... supercarbonated, according to the soda-water-manufacturer. Of the first, it is known that Mathewson, or by pet name, little Arthur, is tin boasted of Birmingham, and Aaron, sirnamed Barney, the mighty of Mendoza,. This same little Arthur has made long faces ere now among the Piro*, and their pockets sung small since his defeat of young Belasco. Aaron was looked on as invincible by all the tribes, since he beat all his opponents, and the conquest of Arthur, was but the last step between him and the summit of his ambition, a trial with Curtis, who stands the champion of the-light weights, and the sovereign master of ten stone. Barney Aaron is a Jew, and well for him that he is so, fur since Belasco was beaten by Sampson, all the loose and spare cash of the People has been sporte d on him—on the child—the boy, as they call him.— Yesterday was the best trial of their affections; and not a brother, from Duke's•place to Wych.street. who did not tarn out to support him. The desk was forsaken, and the bag thrown by, and the metropolis had one day's respite from the sonorous attentions of itinerant wardrobe dealers. Colnbrouk, in Buckinghamshire, was the place appointed, and, with the break of day, the sons of Solo mon were on the road, certain of success, and proportionately liberal in their expenditure. Four horses, decked with orange favours, and gay barouches,here them in six and eight parties happily along. No tavern was passed unremembered on the road, and baskets of 1 fried fish and other edibles were preserved fur provision on the' ground. At the village of Colithrook it was amusing to remark the characteristic physiognomy of the people in all corners; and, with few exceptions, there was not a man in the riug who did not bear his nation strongly on his brow. The odds were previously five and six to four on Mathewson ; but as the crowd of Jew backers overpowered his friends, the bet ting changed on the ground to five to four en the Jew. Aaron had the advantage of weight by six pounds, and that was several points in his favour, as it must be with men under ten stone. Mathewson was supported by a few staunch friends from Birmingham, who took the sulds as long as their pockets or credit lasted. Ile re mained with them quietly in doors; but Aaron, true workmanlike, spent the morning in drawing all strangers for tickets to his benefit. In the meantime the ring was formed in a field by the road side. The outer ring was lined with the carriages of the Jews, instead of the usual circle of waggons, and the inner space was occupied by the gentlemen themselves. At one o'clock Aaron (attended by Aby Belasco and Nathan—the latter, one of his backers, who thought to make assurance doubly sure) threw up his hat. Mathewson (who was in a post carriage with his townsman Sampson) immediately lot lowed, squired by Harry I lult and Harry Harmer. Tile Jew sported the yellow kerchief, and Arthur picked pride in a scarlet ribbon. • 003/131 1 ,11) elles ) 4S* -.lr . 04 4 0 10 " - _ , - _ _ _ THE FIGHT. All being in readiness the rind was heat out, and the men came to Action. Iftiums I. The men sparred for a short time, evidently waiting for ats opening. 'Mathewson seemed anxious that Barney should begiri, and the latter soon gratified his wishes. After one or two feints lie went to work, hit Mathewson on the head and closed. Mutual fibbing followed, in which there was hit for hit, and the cork was drawn from Barney, and 3lathewsines eye evinced strong proofs of chit Jew's strength of knuckle.

Mat. turned his back, and Barney tried for the fib, but Mat. went down, and as he fell Bar ney caught him on the side of the nob. (Cries of " Foul, foul !" followed by cries as loud of " Fair, lair!" The umpires decided that all was fair, and the Jews were as jolly as sand boys.) 7th. Barney came up ripe for sport, and hit right and left at Mat. Mat. turned, and Barney caught hint again round the waist, in which situation Mat. received some punithment and went down. Bth. Barney put in three smashers on Mat's face.

(Loud cheers for Barney.) 11th. Barney was ag..in ready, and began his handywork ; he hit 'Mathewson with his left, while Mathewson met hint with right; in a close there was mutual fibbing, but ultimately Mathew son was thrown. 12th. lilt far hit. Barney caught Alathewson's pate under his arm, fibbed hint, and pulled hint down. (Cries of "Go it, Bar ney, its all your own."). 13th. Barney Lit Alatliewsnn a slap on the left cheek, and closed.

Barney hit right and left, and hi a close both down. Barney missed two slashing hits at Mat.'s head; a rally, in which there were mutual interchanges, followed by a struggle, and Mathewson was thrown. The fight had now lagted 29 minutes, and Mathewson had evidently the worst of it. Barney drew the cork of Mathewson's nose, and floored him. It was now evident that the Jew was win ning the battle. from the 25d to the 59th round, inclusive, all in favour of Barney. 40. ally, in which Baruey received one or two clumsy thumps, but in the end Mathewson was thrown. 41.

A dreadful rally, in which Mathewson was thrown; (the cdds were all now upon Barney, and the general impression was that he must inevitably win. Odds were offered to any amount— so much as 101. to ss. was bet and taken). 44. An excellent rally, in which Barney bad recourse to the weaving system. Mathewson much punished, and in a close thrown. 45. Mathewson punished severely and thrown. 46. Barney still fresh—fought boldly, and threw Ms man. 47. Hit for bit, but in a close bath down. 48.

Barney administered with severity; an excellent rally, In which Mathewson, notwithstanding the severity Grids punishment, ewed uncommon game. $O. Mathewson received right and left on the lead, and wee tshewed thrown.- Proviona be this the Ring had been I.rolted in, and the crowd pressed close round the ropes. In this situation %Tarim possible to form a just Idea of the merits of the men. It appeared that Barney clearly had the advantage both in strength and severity of hitting. Mathewson was nearly choked with the blood which flew from his threat % and the general belief was, that the Jew must certainly win. Mathewson, however, was game to the last, and having suddenly thrown the blood from his stomach, he revived, and fought with renewed energy. The odds in favour of the Jew now gradually diminished, and in the six rounds which followed, Mathewson was evidently improved, and the shouts of the Sheenier subsided accordingly. At last, in the 56th round, which was one of long continuance and desperate exertion, Mathewson, who fought with unexampled courage, caught Barney with a tremendous hit on the throat, and floored him with the rapidity of lightning—those who were a short distance from the Ring were incapable of judging of the effect of this blow ; but the sudden shouts from the friends of Mathewson soon convinced them that the change was as singular as it was unexpected; in fact, Barney was hit out of time, and was unable again to come to the swatch; Mathewson was of course de clared the winner, and was assisted out of the Ring. Barney was perfectly senseless, and for some time did not recover the effects' ' of this last visitation to his thorax, and was conveyed to his chaise. REMARKS. Barney Aaron was decidedly the best fighter. Braver men never pulled shirts off, and five guineas to five shillings were twice betted and lost in the ring. Mathewson was blind with the left eye in the early part of the fight, and he first shewed symptoms of want of training. But there was a denial to yield, and he fought up bill bravely, and scarified his adversary's head upon terms ad vantageous. Chance was at last the in-go, and Mathewson won it by a hit upon the throat. which dorsed his adversary. Mathewson woo the kin by kitting out at last with the left hand. WARD AND SAMPSON. These men next catered the ring. They fought for one hun dred pounds a-side; and, from their consequence in the Pugilistic School, it was anticipated that their efforts would have afforded general satisfaction. The odds were In favour of Ward tive to four, but in consequence of certain recollections to which it is now unnecessary to advert, the betting was not very extensive. On coming to the scratch, both men sliewed excellent condition, Samp son appearing much larger than his opponent. Sampson was at tended by Harmer and Belasco ; Ward, by Oliver and Owen. It would be tedious to follow these men through the twenty-five rounds which they fought, because throughout there was but the one result, viz. the clear and unquestionable superiority of Ward over his opponent ; Sampson, from the first round, chewed his ap prehensions of the superior tactics of Ward, and frequently threw himelf down to avoid punishment. His tears were nut groundless, Cur in eery round he was severely punished, and in the end scarcely made any return worth mentioning, Ward having received but two blows of any importance. Sampson was dreadfully peppered both on the head and body, and in fifty minutes cried enveqpi. Ward scarcely received a crotch, and proved, that if he had but honesty un his side, there are few men in the I'. It. who could cope with him, either as to science or effective operation. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. -.~- 110 W-STREET. T. Raton, a young man, in the dress usually worn by horse dealers, was brought up for final examination. charged with steal ing a horse and harness, the property of Mr. Bates, a livery-stable keeper, in Ratcliffe Ilighway, and a gig, the property of a trades man named Cobb of Bakers'-row, Whitechapel. Si:- R. llieste was ut opinion that this case was exactly similar to that of the celebrated Major Semple, who having hired a horse and gig for a day, sold it, and applied the money to his own use. This was held to be a felony, and he was transported.—The pri soner was fully committed to Sewgate for trial !lace:see Coacuasern—The drivers of two hackney-coaches were summoned to answer the complaint of Mr. Hesse, the Solicitor to the Lottery Office at Somerset House, for refusing to take a fare, when legally required to do so. Mr. Ilene had a party at his house on the dreadfully rainy night of Frid:y sennight, and between eleven and twelve o'clock be sent his footman to procure coaches to convey his triends to their homes. The servant went to the stand in Charles -street, Covent Garden, where he found seven or eight coaches disengaged, but not one coachman could he find who was willing to go with him. One of the drivers said he was engaged, and would not stir an itr:b ; and the other, whom the servant had watched setting down a fare, and coming on to the stand empty, swore that he only came there to water his horses, and that he was engaged. Ile drove off the stand, and in a few minutes returned, when the servant again spoke to him, and received the former answer, that he had only come to water his horses. The Waterman of the stand brought a pail, but the horses did not drink one drop. Jarvis again drove away, and shortly after returned once more to the stand.-- 64 Well,' said the complainant ' s servant, "are you come to water your horses now?" " Yes, S'reency, I am," replied Jarvis, and drew his coach up to the side of !tue street, refusing to stir from the spot. The poor footman, after being exposed to . waking rain for two hours, was obliged to return without a coach, and Mr. Hesse was under the necessity of making up beds for his friends. Both the coachmen declared that the story of the footman was all false. thie defendant was fined 10s. and 4s. costs, and the other was ordered to pay double that amount. Ile said he would not pay it. Sir liteusun BIILNIE then directed that he should be committed to the House of Correction for 21 days. 11AIII.1;011OUGH-STRF.ET. Jonathan Thiery, a footman, and William Lunn**, a coachman, both in the service of N. M. Rothschild, Esq. were charged at this office, the former with assaulting Wales and Ballard, two officers of this establiAment, in the execution of their duty, and the latter under the Highway Act, with blocking up the public way. The officers stated that a few nights ago they were directed to attend at the Argyll Rooms, to keep order and regulate the carriages of a vast number of fashionables who attended the Annual Juvenile Ball held at these Rooms; and when the company were retiring, and the carriages drawing up to the door in regular succession, the defendant Lowndes drove Mr. Rothschild's carriage out of the line, and endeavoured to force it forward to the dour out of its turn, and when the officers attempted to stop hint and put him back, the de. fendant Bailey seized the horses' heads, dragged them forward, and when the offiCers interfered to prevent hint, he assaulted them both in a furious manner, and it was with difficulty they secured him. The defendants said that they had no defence to make, but that they considered themselves justified in getting their master's carriage up to the door as soon as they could. The Magistrate said, that the constant misconduct of servants of late at these public places in defiance of the many warnings they had received, made it almost useless to address anything to them in the way of admonition; but he could only say, that wherever be had an opportunity of doing so he should t igidly enforce the law against such offenders. hi the present instance, the defendant Bailey must find bail for the assaults on the two officers, and the coachman must pay a fine of 10s. for obstructing the public way. NOMINATION OF SHERIFFS. From time immemorial it has been the practice in the Corporation for the Lord Mayor to name those Gentle men a born it is intended to propose as candidates for the offices of Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, by drinking to their healths at the civic dinner preceding the 14th of June. It has been the practice to drink to the healths of nine well-known Gentlemen of wealth and respectability as candidates. The Lord Mayor then sends in their names to the Court of Aldermen before the 14th June; and, on the day for choosing the She- riffs, they are formally nominated to the Livery. But the circumstance of drinking their healths at the Cor poration dinners has heel), in point of fact, the real no mination hitherto. It was also customary to name those citizens who were old or infirm, and whom it was judged were averse to public offices, particularly those of such a costly nature. The expense of serving the office of Sheriff, if it is sustained on the narrowest scale of libe rality, is not less than SOON. and it generally happens that some of those nominated as above described, every year bay large fines to be excused from serving, and being obliged to incur so heavy an expense. The father of the present Alderman Garrett was pitched upon for his opulence as a fit person.to be nominated, and bewas chosen in the regular manner; but he was, from his frugal habits, extremely averse to serve, and he at once paid the fine. This circumstance exceedingly embit tered him against the Corporation, and there was found after his death an item in his books:—" Robbed by the City of London of 4001." There has been no ing i tance of the omission of this practice, except daring the Mayor alties of Wilkes and Sawbridge, who refused to adopt it. As the custom has been atteadei with severe grk v „ ance and annoyance to many citizens, the present I.fitd Mayor has followed the example given in die May o .. ahies mentioned . ; he has this year refticed to make :my nomination, and has sent no names in to the Co urt Aldermen. The candidates talked of for tile office o f Sheriff for the ensuing year are Mr. Alderman Key aild Mr. Alderman Brown. Mr. Alderman Gal rait qaues on the rota as the candidate for the Civic Chair. DEATH OF MADAME RIEGO. --ii.-- Saturiay last, Donna Nlaria Theresa del Itieqo Rego, widow of Gener.il Don Rafael del Ric t o v Riego, died at her ie.idence, No. 13, Seymour-pl.tcc, Little Chelsea. This Lady, whose fortunes have so deeply intere,hq public sympathy, was the daughter of I).at del Itiego y Bustillo, and Donna Jowla Florez. She was born on the 1;:th May, 1:s00, in town of Tineo, capital of the district 01 the same nan;:, in the province of Asturias, and was the eldest of se , c , chikken, having at the time of her de.oh three broti.ei.; and three sisters living, all of whom were sep;tr.t:cd from her by the fatalities of civil war, except on e s i sta, Donna Lucie, whom neither peril nor privation distract from the exercise of that tegard and attenti.., which she was able to manifest under evei y trial. Within three months after her an ival t.ir, sanguinary act was perpetrated which ertitiguiam.l every present consolation and future hope. Tii , r of his death reached her on the 15th of November.— Her poor frame could no longer rally or resist; -he wasted and withered daily under the coiroiing, fluence of a tedious decline, and at length closed h.:;- unhAppy course in the embraces of her siste-, attended by her devoted protector, the estimable Canon, ;t,,,l several distinguished and faithful Spaniard , , who to the latest moment, enjoyed the confidence an.{ adhercJ to the fortunes of her hush.t , id, and never failed in proofs of respect, atteatitni, and tega;cl to wards the widow. Some few days previous to her dissolution, she intl. mated to those around her an aue.ious desire to execute a testamentary document, and on the 12th instant she duly made her last will. In this instrumeat hhe nut only arranges her private affairs, but furnishes aiditional proots of unalated attachment to her native land, an d solicitude for its happiness. She does ample justice to Great Britain, and directs her executor, the canna, t•' assure the British people of the gratitude which she felt towards them at her dying moments, for the sympathy and support which they extended to het in the hours cf • her bitter adversity : but what ntakt.s the wail re iv affecting is her solemn and impressive, though supe:- &ions attestation to the penny and aincetity f the p o i : . tical life of General Itiego; for she states that she esteems it to be her last act of justice and duty to the memory of her beloved husband solemnly to &dare, in the awful presence of her Goo, before whose judg ment-seat she feels site must soon appear, that ali his ptheate feelings and dispositions le:Treeing his country corresponded with his Fublic acts and professions in dt fenee of its liberties.
