LITERATURE, tie FINE ARTS, DRAMA, fc. . " It is traditionally asserted that the king employed Hoards to paint the portraits of the fairest young balks in kis kingdom that. in use of the frailty of a queen, he might go to his gallery and select her successor. This story, which I can desire no one to credit, seeing that his majesty had ready access to the oft. • 'heals, is countenanced by an anecdote related by Vensuader. One day, whilst the artist was pointing in private the portrait of a favourite lady for the king. a great lord unexpectedly found kis way into the chamber. Ibe painter. a brawny powerful man. and somewhat touchy of temper. threw the intruder down stairs, bolted the km, ran to the king by a private passage, fell on hi. knees, as k e d kr pardon, and obtained it. In came the courtier and made his complaint. 'By Gab's splendour.' exclaimed the king (ibis was his customary oath).' you have net to du with Hans but with me. Of seven peasants 1 can make seven lords, but I cannot make one Hans Holbein.' "—(Ni.. • • •• • • •• • • • • " Holbein died of the plague in 1554. His works have sometimes an air of stiffness, but they have always the look of truth and life. He painted with great rapidity and ease, wrought with the left hand, and dashed off a portrait at a few sittings. He was gay and joyous, lived freely, and spent his pension of two hundred florins and the money be received from his works with a careless liberality. He had a strong frame, a swarthy sensual face, a neck like a bull, and an eye unlikely to enlist, contradiction. It would be unjust to his fame to withhold the information that hi. talents were not conduit! to pictures. Like other eminent artists his mind took a range beyond the brush and the easeL He was an able architect—be modelled and he carved. He was skil ful too in designing ornaments, and in making drawings for printed books ; some of which he is said to have cut himself. Sir Hans Sloane had a book of jewels of his designing, which is sow it the British Museum. Inign Jones had another book of his designs for weapons, bilts.ornansents, scabbards, swordbelts• buttons, books. hatband;. girdles, shoe-clasps, knives, forks; salt -c ellar, , and vases. ad for •King Henry."—Offs. " Kneller Was one day conversing about his art, when he give the following that reason fur preferring portraiture. ' Painters of history,' said be, make the dead Uve, and do not be gin to live themselves till they are dead. I paint the living, and they make me live!' In a conversation concerning the legitimacy of the unfortunate son of James the Second, some doubts having been expressed by an Oxford Doctor, he exclaimed with much warmth, His father and mother have sat to me about thirty-six times a-piece, and I know every line and bit of their faces. Mine Gott! I could paint King James new by memory. I say the child is so like both, that there is not a feature in his face bet what be longs either to father or to mother; this I am sure of, and cannot be mistaken; nay, the nails of his gingen are his mother's, the queen that'was. Doane, you may be out in your letters, but I cannot be out in my lines.' —Olio. HOGA RTH'S PICT U R ES.—TWO original paintings by MigZ, one of " Midnight Modern Conversations." and "The s flai iri ll= Porters." have been just removed from the walls of the public-boese in Fenchurch-street, and trans ferred to canvass. Hegarth, In 3723, lodged at this house, and, having run op a mere which be could not pay, painted the first picture to liquidate the debt. The design became popular—cos. taxers thronged to see the painting; Hogarth ra.. up another score, and was again ealkd on to satisfy his landlord in a similar MAW. He then executed the second picture, and there they both remained till a report that the house was about to be taken down attracted much attention, and the Marquis of Stafford sent an agent to ascertain whether k was possible to save the paintings. The gent abandoned the idea of attempting to restore them. Mr. Celseglid, of Cockspur-street, offered a hundred guineas for each of the paintings, if they could be scooped net of the wan. No sae, however. would make the experiment, smtil a Mr. Hall, a patron of the arts, stepped In ; and seder the Impreedea that a removal was quite practicable, purchased dem weeesdideaelly of the late landlady. Mr. Han devoted himself to the task, and succeeded, to the astonishment of every body, in removing the pelotings from the wall. The great artist, to obviate the dilliculty whidt a rough surface presented, had laid on the paint with a most *seal hand, so that time and heat bad cemented the ground into a degree of hardness almost equal to that of marble. They are now in the bands of an eminent picture-dealer. One of the greatest misfortune,. of Bonaparte was his Incredulity in friendship, and net to feel the want of loving, the Anew sentiment of man. How often has he not told me." Friendship is bet a name ; Hike nobody ; No, I don't even like my btotben— J0: 4 4 0 k perhaps. a littk--even if I do like him, it is from habit, it Is because he is older than =pelf. Dame!—Oh yes, I like him also ; but why ? His temper pleases me i be is cold, dry. severe —and besides Defoe never complains. As to myself. all this is very ladiffereat to me. I knew very well that I have no real friends. As log as I remain what lam I shall lave as loony as I wish is appearance. Do yen see. Besirkone. you mast let women cry. k is their business—but as to myself ? No ameiblkty ! Oise must be firm, have the heart firm—othervilse it is useless to meddle either with war or governments." Bonaparte bad for the sanguinary men of the Revolution, and particularly for the Regicides, the most profound aversion. He considered it a heavy bunben to be obliged to dissimulate with them; but when he spoke to me of those bloodthirsty men, whkb be called himself" eke Amna' /Louis IT!," it was with a feeling of barter, and he regretted the necessity is which he was placed to employ them, and to be forced to spare tam. How often did he not say to Cantbaceres, whilst pinching him gently by the ear, in order to soften, by this ordinary familiarity, the ford of the Intim :s. My poor Cambaceres, I can do nothing, y our case is clear , if ever the Bourbons return. you will be banged . ' A A forced smile contracted then the leaden countenance of Cambaceres in such a way as would bugle' all desalpdon. This smile was generally the only answer returned by the Second Consul, who, however, once replied In my presence, Now, prey. leave erthese ouspiassoas juges." If ever the vulgar tam of eirejospne could be applied to any body, it certainly might be so to Cansbaceres.—Meowires di Barrios:se. VAUXHALL GARDEN s.—The ordinary course of enter tainments at this place of amusement was diversified last night by the introduction of what the bills called " Italian and French min strels." There were four females and two males tricked out in fancy dresses, and armed with violins, guitars, and harps, no which they played, or scented to play, while they sung some loreigu sirs of a light character. Their voices, taken individually or colkedvely, are neit►er sweet nor powerful ; however, by the aid of some knowledge, considerable taste, and judicious management, they contrived to execute the airs with correctness and effect, and were cordially applauded by a most indulgent audience. (Me of the males imitated the singing of a bird in a style so sweet and natural as to draw down an oatmeal Poem. We should suppose " the minstrels" to be exclusively and entirely a French importa tion. The company was respectable, but thin. COLLECTANEA.

It appearing from the reports made to the General command ing.in-chief, that the practice of light infantry movements has bean much neglected in sonic regiments of the line, the Adjutant-Ge neral has received his Lordship's orders to direct the notice of tis Inspecting General Officers to this subject, and to desire that they will call the attention of Officers in command of regiments and re serve companies, to the Importance which is attached to the in struction of every regiment of infantry in the service in the move• meats and duties of light infantry. His Majesty's regulations have at all times prescribed it ; and Commanding Olken of regiment. are much mistaken, if they conceive that the practice, so prescribed is to be confined to light regiments, or to the light companies of other corr.' The object in view is, that the whole of every regiment should be made as perfect as possible in the evolutions and movements of light infantry, and should be qualified to move as such if required, and to take the out-post duty in any situation of service. The Officers have ample time to make themselves acquainted with . every detail of this service, independently of the informatiou" they must possess of line movements ; and it is unnecessary to dvfell upon the mendsl advantage which they will derive from a com petent knowledge of duties which they may, in the absence of light troops, be called upon to perform In the held. Lord Hill therefore directs, that the exercise of the whole corps in extended order, as light infantry, may, in future, form one of ' the objects of the half-yearly in.pec ion and report to be mad, of every regiment.

IRELAND. LIMERICK, JOLT 29.—Mr. O'Connell, accompanied by two of his sons. and Mr. Thomas Steele. of CuMane, arrived bete last Monday, surrounded by a crowd of the populace, shouting sod buzz:log. Mr. O'Connell sat on t►e dickey of the post-chase with Mr. Steel. AS his side. The latter wore across his breast a broad green sash. Mr. O'Connell left town yesterday for Raids to attend the election. and Mr. Steele followed an horseback by Castle Connell and Broadford. Counsellor O'Gorman has also left for Ennis. On reaching Castle Connell yesterday, Mr. O'Connell was hailed by a great commove of the peasantry, and inhabitants of the village, whom he harangued in that style of language for which" Mr. O'Connell is so peculiarly felicitous—vulgar abuse and gross egotism characterised the address of this political agitator. The houses of the publicans were covered with green boughs, and trees were planted in the streets. This scene was enacted in a county (Limerick) with which Mr. O'Connell has no cunnezion whatever, and it really is a reproach to the Magistrates of that district, to suffer such an exhibition, in the teeth of the Lord Li-utenant's Pro clamation. forbidding any assemblies for party or political purposes. Since writing the above we have received authentic particulars of what occurred at KUlaloe. which Mr. O'Connell intended to visit on his way to Ennis. At eight o'clock yesterday morning the frosts of all houses in Kahle, were covered with green boughs, (with die exception of the Protestant inhabitants) and large kegs were planted by as idle mob in the lower part of the town.— Threats were then loudly made that if the like demonstration of poptale feel's, and triumph was not put forth through every part of LULbe, they would break the windows of any house offending against their injunctions. This menace, of course, was conveyed to Captain Goldfrap, of the Rifles, at Maki:, and be, mu having the aid of any neighbouring Magistrate in this critical enact. inky, was obliged to send of to O'Brien's Bridge, for George Lloyd, Esq. a Alagistrate of the County Clare. This Gentleman with the most laudable energy repaired to Killaloe, and communi cated with Captain Goldirap on the escitatioo visible in the town, and the alarm of the more peaceable inhabitants. Mr. Lloyd then went through the tweets ; be addressed the crowd, and requested 1 that the trees *meted in the town should be taken down in half an hour; that he would not allow the public peace to be violated; and that if his order to this erect were not complied with, be was determined to have them removed by the military. The mob had previously declared that no one dare pull them down. The Rev Mr. Vaughan the Parish Priest , having been apprised of Mr. Lloyd's lineation, Immediately addressed the crowd, ad vising them to avoid any violation of the peace, not to injure or insult any person, and earnestly eshorted them to carry sway the obnoxious trees, in obedience to the order of the Magistrates. The Clergyman succeeded, and Ms bearers removed those symbols of party, In doing which they frequently declared that not one should ever have been taken away either for Magistrates or soldiers, bad it not been the interference of their Priest. A short time after this Mr. Steele came from Mr. O'Connell, and inquired of Mr. Lloyd what did he mean or what was he (Mr. Steele) to understand, by the measures adopted to prevent Mr. O'Coatiell's constituents manifesting their feelings on the approach of the man of their choice. Mr. Lloyd replied, that he felt it his duty to suppress any exhibition of party feeling, no matter of what shade or colour, that he acted as a Magistrate, and in that capacity was determined to crush any popular ebullition which might lead to a disturbance, or endanger in any way the good order and tran quillity of the town. Mr. Lloyd repeated his determination to put down every insignia of party or faction, and any political demon stration likely to injure either life or property. Mr. &eele withdrew and communicated to Mr. O'Connell the result of his embassy. Mr. O'Connell immediately shaped his course to Kilgore", and declined visiting his crest-fallen adherents at Make, as he bad originally purposed. Mr. Lloyd gave early intimation that all public houses in the town should be closed be fogs tea o'clock at night, and to insure a compliance went round himself at that hour, with a party of Hines. and closed the dome of every one that remained open ; thus effecto.lly preserving the tranquillity of the town, and the maintenance of peace at a very trying juncture, when a direst threat was openly made to assail those houses that would Dot join in a fate show of exultation. at the entrance of Mr. (Yesonell and his silly followers. If the same decision and energy of character that distinguished Mr. Lloyd on this suasion, had been exercised by other magistrates, the country would never be reduced to that lamentable state of . agitation and disorder so prejudicial to its beet interests. kluarma--Information having been received by the Civil Au- &orbits that a rencontre was to take plate at the fair of O'Brien's Bridge, county Clare, oo Saturday, between two muttering fac tions, Sir Hugh Dillon Maury, Ban. accenspaaied by nine other Magistrates. Lieutenant libidos, and the constabulary force. with fifty of the GOA Riles, under Captain Goldfus', repaired thither. and by their presence prevented disturbance : howev e r, about s i x o'clock, at the close of the fair. an unoffeuding young man, about eighteen years of age, of the name of John Farrell, a most indus trious and peaceable farmer, from liarbane, near liroadford, was knocked down by a blow in the bead from a shirt lead loaded bludgeon, which the assassin drew from his small-clothes pocket, and whilst his victim was on the ground, gave him repeated strokes of it across the small of the back. The un fortunate young man had his skull fractured so severely that be died in the course of the night. After the deed, the assassin very deliberately replaced his weapon, and notwithstanding he was seen to commit the deadly act, and was personally known to several bye-wanders, be was suffered to walk off without the slightest in terruption : subsequently, however, evert exertion was used by the police to apprehend him, but he has hitherto eluded detection. It is asserted that this fellow has been employed on similar occasions. and that be was associated that day with a gang who were armed with like weapons (some of which were taken front them by the Magistrates), and that other victims were marked out foe destruc tion, which the judicious arrangements adopted by the CivU Autho rities alone prevented from being carried into operation. The de ceased never bad any quarrel or dispute whatever with his mur derer, and it is said the latter did not know upon whom be was to =Letill pointed out by the person who bad employed him.— a shoeless proof of the depravity of the lower orders, end, w e wee, the perpetrators will be brought to that punishment which so gold a deed estrits.--Lisuncit Obrinisk.

The most important chorge recommended t. in - the Foun t iling Hospital, for which upward. of 3006001. a year bat been far some year. granted. From the Ist of January neat the Cornmittre recommends that admi..ions Into this hospital shall oast. Thc expense of the Charter Schools, which has burn in some years so high as 36,u00i. in addition to their own funds, is to be reduced by removing 300 ebikhen yearly, till the establichnieut can be supported by the pre-env endowment, without Parbamentary aid. The expense a the Richmond Lunatic Asylum, which has amounted to between 6,000 f. or 7,00. 1 a year, will be relieved by local assessments and distinct asylums. The annual vote to the Cork Institution, not boring been aided by the private subscrip. Mona, bto be reduced to one-half In 1830, and discontinued in' 1831. The present plan of paying for the Insertion of proclaim tins in the newspapers (others than the Drilla Gasetfe), which has been used as a mode of influencing the provincial paper., is open, the Committee states, to various obitction., and therefore .ecassary to be abandoned. The supply of stationery, which has long been a productive job in the bands of Sir A. Ikadley King, is to be put on a more economical footing. An agreement was made with Sir A. B. King, In 1822, to furnish the public ollices with paper at 16i per cent-above the wholesale prices in Landon; but these wholesale prices, the Committee remarks, have been higher than the prices of the Stationery-office. Several regulations are 'recommended In different branches of expenditure, by which the gross amount of the whole votes must be much reduced. In its inquiries Into the expenses of Crown prosecutions, the Committee has taken some important evidence on the dilculty of administer ing the law in Ireland, especially in the south. The fear (by uo means unreasonable) which prevents parties from prosecuting any outrage, and the want of a provision for parish and minty prose cution., have made it absolutely necessary for the Government to take upon itself the expense of a great number of prosecutions, and will make it necessary, apparently, If the law is to be well admi nistered. for it to take on itself the expense of more. The Govern meat, too, has not only to pay the expenses of the prosecutions,but when the trial is over, to protect the witnesses, and very frequently, as the only means of doing so, to remove them out of the country. The state of things is slimmed up in a very few words by Mr. Barrington. one of the Crown Solicitors : " In knighted every man assists in the pronteotioo ; in Ireland, generally, every man anima Man awinittal—l mesa people of the lower class." • SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

An article in the Morning Journal of to-illy co:o- Dienes, thus:- •• We perfectly agree with the Rename:its of our admirable contemporary the Standard, tint iu general the private wrangle► of the Press ought not t be obtruded upon the public."—We were p: epared by this preamble, avowing honourable acquiescence in su just an opinion, to peruse some worthy matter iliostr.i tive of this very proper notion ; but conceive tilt amazement to red as follows :—" And that the im pudent Liars who conduct the Courier, and correspond with the Post, are beneath the notice of any one allied, in the remotest degree, to a gentleman,"--contemptiii scriblders--scarcely to be ranked by Linnieus in tt.e class of Mammalia' —" does the iddithur of the Courier or his Cad think, because the conductors of tLa Paper have forfeited all claim to the character of ye', tlemen, that we too are a disgrace to oar species,"- " we are not allied to pickpockets and slanderers - -- " miserable hirelings"—" driveller"—" polluted sour( e" —" villainy of the slaves"—" weak head"—" corrot:t • heart"—and—" we sincerely trust we may never be sub jected to the infamy of being deemed worthy of his praise !! !"—And this is the language of a London Journal —the arguments of one arrogating superiority as a gentleman! Can any thing on earth tend more to de grade the British Press than such a system of revultiag personality and foul vit u p erat i on ? Wh y , suc h language is as digraceful to those who revile as it is to those who suffer themselves then to be reviled. Were any hailing a respectable situation in private hie to use such expressions towards another capable of ea during them with impunity, both—by the e,tablished lass of good societywould be driven from it with Sc.)! n. Gentlemen do not blackguard each other —for blacktr.a:d ism such language surely is,—or when one is found to - got himself so far, the pistol or the cudgel are expected to do their work. Are then the Editors of • Londuu Newspapers, members of good company or not ? or being so, are they alone exempted from the delicate Les that govern it ?—Persons whose party rage prevent* them from discussing with temper, ought to abandon a press they abuse to the detriment of all who, pro fess to write for it ; and it behoves those who would preserve its respectability to coalesce against all u Lot• selfish violence would divert it from its wise end, to make it an engine of private pique, vengeance, and malice. Oppose argument to argument, and to personal injury personal chastisement; and the Press will soon become what it ought to be—the profession of gentlemen. • •
