MN 4 250 where he acquired his fame The small volume which contains the Holy Scriptures, is nothing when compared to the bulky productions of an . Augustine or a Jerome ; yet, the latter never furnished a Painter with a subject, whereas the other has been an inexhaustible source—a mine of the most productive kind. The reason of this disparity is not easily assigned ; we must observe, however, that ther6 is more of nature and simplicity in the one, and that, consequently, it is more likely to inspire than the others. The sweet little Picture under No. 1, is taken from one of the Tales of the " Hermit of Ferney," as the Nestor of the French Literature used to call himself; and the Artist has shown in it how powerful his hand is in expressing the effects of mental affection upon the face. The head of the long-tailed tailor, the whole attitude of his body, speak to the eye the consciousness of his having done his best fur the little master, who, with a sneer of complacency, ingeniuhsly adapted to his temporary feelings, looks at himself in the glass. The aceessaries are painted with boldness and truth, and the high finishing, which in some Paintings of the same Artist seems to be the result of la bour and time, appears here as if the happy effect of bold touches, and dashing strokes.

Mr. Serjeant Lens moved the Judgment of the Court against the defendant, who was convicted at the last Assizes at Exeter before Mr. Justice CHAMBHE, of assaulting Mr. Charles Pugh. The parties had a former quarrel, in the course of which the prosecutor thrashed dig defendant; and in the month of July last, the prosecutor was passing with some friends through a field belonging to the' defendant, in his way to a neighbouring river to ilsh ; where the defendant, who was superintending his hay-makers, demanded of him what right he had to go that way, it not being a tt K i oughfare ; words arose betw een them, and the defendant pointed ay-fork at the prosecutor, which constituted the assualt. Mr. Serjeant Pell was heard, in mitigation of punishineut on be half of the defendant ; when Mr. Serjeant Lens said, his only object in bringing him up for judg ment was to insure his personal security against future violence. Lord ELLENBOROUGU observed, that in a moment of irritation he had raised the fork, and prudence induced him to let it fall again, aid no harm was done. He thought the justice of the case would be folly answered by a nominal penalty. The defendant was accordingly fined ls.; and entered into his own re.:ognizance to keep the peace, in 501. for two years, and was then discharged. Pow -
