PINE 4RTh. • • BRITISH INSTITUTION PALL-MALL; • The exhibition of ancient masters, which has gitrosdenels MO gratification to the visitors of this season, is about to close. A fortnight .more will landmass its period. The . public will take Imo of it with regret no less than must ►ave bees Mt at porting from several previous ones, in which t►e glories of ancient art have been collected into one view, to Ike smite advantage not only of the schools, but the @es timable and meditations of Sae minds generally. Having give• particular notice to the major part of the pictures, in turn, there is little room for observations of that nature. The usefulness of the collection will be most felt from the comprehensive specimens which bare been *hews of Russia. Diana, and St. Martin dividing kit cloak, are certainly among the most imposing of his works. At any rate they glow with that Are of animation and rich colouring w►ich characterised his genies in its meridian splendour; though the Julio and Argus, in possession of Mr. WYAT (the ingenious sculptor of the Cenotaph for the Primer:4o 011111- Loper), reaches rather beyond both. The pieces of Won ♦aamANs, the two Poussiss, TITIAN'S classic Landscapes' sod his Emperors Afro and Dike, have heightened the interest of the collection greatly. The little pic ture by BAROCCID (Madoss del Goths), is • feature of nu light erect in it. The CLATIDCS, it seems, are sot so interesting as they might have been, had Mr ANIIEKIEEKIN'S collection not bees available to the curious This is said upon hearsay, as we have not seen Mr. Anagx. /Yaffe.. CLAUDE*. At any rate, there is room left in the next exhibition of societies to gratify the 'public anew on *that score. I.e Dos and Wife, by VANDYKE, anal the saaguikceut portrait, by 'Nouns, will not be forgotten, though the pictures should never again meet the public gaze. The order for closing t►e Gallery is • fortnight is understood is h• perempto►y, as the labours of the school are nut to be sespeaded oa any account for a longer period. . MR. HAYDON'S EXHIBITION. The Pieter, of the Entry into Jerusalem is a vast addi tion to the Exhibition. The light is admirably soiled to it, and the brows floor-cloth has a felicitous effset in qualifying the descent iu the solar rays. The Agony is Ike Garden is the more difficult effort, has more of the eminence of poetry in the dung*, especially as the Maio action is coatined to owe person, to which the betrayal of Judas is a well.esa netted eptiude. But the Eery isle Jernsalein will always be the more popular work for the contrary reason, because the subject is more extensively diffused, or rather it is unique, and every figure hears ■ part is upholding the inte►est of it. Every time it is reviewed it will i the admiration of the Artist's skill and knowledge, his profound sagacity in the physical and wuratal properties of his ape. cies, under the agitation of deep and ponderous emotion— Isis preference of solid and time-enduring fame for that which is but for a day, and which be could procure with a tithe of the labours tegnired for securing the esteem of posterity To these might be added tie high traditional character of his Apostolic and Judaic physiognomies, and his manly taste in draperies and the assortment of their hues—and not the least of his many excellencies, the substantial and aerobic character of his colouring generally, which varies as winch from most of hie contemporaries as • well-disposed esawl dues from the most sketchy water-colouring. Yesterday the gentlemen of Merchant Taylors' Company proceeded in their ►tate barge to Rich. mond, where they dined and spent the day ; the Company's state barge in going was towed by one of the steam boats, full of respectable company, and a band of music on board, they had a most beautiful appearance on the water ; as they passed through Westminster-bridge they were saluted by a discharge of cannon tram Messrs. Gooracy and Seaut's wharf, which attracted numbers on the bridge and the banks of the river ; the surface of the water was speckled over with pleasure and other boats. Miss S.

OXtilf FORD. , ' This Was an action to recover 1.1001. Money, had and received for the Plaintiff's use. Mr. &AIL WIT stated the case to the Jury. The Plaintiff was a retired tratleatnan ; the De fendant was a stock-broker. The Plaintiff hod • passed his life in business, and having realised a competency, had retired into the country to reside; ' here, however, hie desire for employing his capital followed him, and having unfortunately been in formed that great GUMS were to .be made by' em ploying money in the funds, although totally igno rant of the nature°, such transactions, be was induced to place his money in the Defendant's handi. He paid over to hint'ait various times, between July 1830 and January 1821, the sum which he now sought to recover, to be employed by him in the purchase and transfer of stock. A correspondence ensued between the parties, and at different times sums were paid over by the Defendant to the Plaintiff, Is the profits on the different transfers of stock made ou Plaintiff's account. At length the Plain tiff was surprised to receive a letter from the De fendant, containing an account stated, upon which it appeared that the Defendant had been playing with the Plaintiff's money upon time bargains, and • balance of 7001. appeared due to the Defendant, which sum he desired the Plaintiff would take an early opportunity of settling. Instead of paying 700/., however, for losses incurred in illegal specu lations which he had never contemplated and never participated in, the Plaintiff brought his action to recover back the 1,1001. which he had placed iu the Plaintiff's hands for legal purposes. Two letters were then put in by Mr. SC A ILETT, to prove that the object of the Plaintiff was i4l h4ve his money legally employed, and that he had never contemplated any thihg else. The Soutrroa-Gem ERA L, for the Defendant, contended, that his client had moat reason to com plain of deception—for so far from the Plaintiff beingignorant of stock transuctinus, he was well versed in them, and perfectly aware how his money was employed. He would prove the Plaintiff's knowledge of the transactions, both by oral evi- deuce and his own letters. C. Wilson, called and examitted.—He stated that he was an iron-merchant in Fenchurch-street, and had known the klleintiff for ten or twelve years, and had often conversed with hint on the subject of the funds. The Plaintiff exp r d a wish to spe culate a little, observing that he knew much money might be made, and he mentioned some individuals who, he said, had made fortunes by speculating. He inquired of witness if he knew any broker on the Exchange. Witness mentioned the Defen dant. The Plaintiff did not appear at all ignorant of the business of the funds ; he said that much more might be made by bargains for the account than by transfer. Witness ultimately introduced the Defendant to the Plaintiff in July or August, ' 1830. Previous to the Plaintiff's going to France, he called and said he had deposited in the Defen dant'', hands 1,1001. for the account; that he had seen his books, with which he was perfectly well satisfied; he had kept them in a most tradesman. like manner. and that he would, on his return from France, leave more money with him. ' The SOLICITOR-GUI KRAL also put in several letters which had pained between the Plaintiff and Defendant, in one of which, dated 11th July. was this ;message- 1 .." I authorise you • to make use of 100/. to the best advantage, giving me an account evesy settlin g day, and holding the 1001. as a de." posit." In , letter, dated July 24, the Plaintiff expressed re ref that their speculations had not been more fortunate, but declared he acquitted Defendant of any fault or neglect. Another letter of the Plaintiff's, dated 20th September. stated, " I send you 5001. more to speculutir with : you holding the balance for me : you will see it in the beat manner possible, either by investing it in the funds, or buying fur the account." Other letters were put in, to prove the Plaintiff's knowledge of the nature of the transactions. Mr.SCARIATT replied, and contended that the Plaintiff's intention was to employ the money placed in the Defendant's hands in transfers, which would hare been a legal way of employing the money. The LORD CHIRP JUVrICR summed up the evi. deuce to the Jury, and observed it was for the Jury to decide upon the evidence which they had heard, what were the views and intentions of the Plaintiff. From the letters which had been read, it was plain that some part of the money paid over to the De• frodant was intended by the Plaintiff to be applied to time bargain.. These were illegal, and there fore the Plaintiff was not entitled to recover the money so paid. If the Jury thought there was any part of the 1,100/. nu,' paid over with that view, but paid over for the fair boosafide purchase of stock, for that the Plaintiff would be entitled to a verdict. The Jury retired for an hour, when they re turned with a verdict for the Plaintiff fur 5001. HAREM V. CoSTAII. This was au action for words spoken. Mr. COOPER opened the pleailings. The words charged were, " Hawkes has stopt payment." The SOLICITOR-GENERAL misted the circum stances of the case to the Jury. The Plaintiff is a warehousemen, in a very large Ivey of business at Norwich. The Defendant is a silk mercer, living in Lad-lane. In the month of November last year the Plaintiff bought some goods of Mersrs.Stirt and Co., fur which he agreed to pay by his acceptance at three months : before the bills became due, he was somewhat surprised on being applied to by Messrs. Stirt and Co. to pay the bills by anticipation, which he immediately did ; but other applications of a similar nature being made to him, he found it force:wary to institute some inquiry, and Mr. Dewy Stirt at la►t told him that he had been informed by the Defendant that he (the Plaintiff) had stopped payment. To the Jury, who, as men of business who knew the inestimable value of character to • merchant, it was not neer.- Hsi object ortiteVlaintiff wet not dating* ilia a the Defendant would nun give up the came df the permits fired whom he received the information of the Plaintiff'd having stopped payment, or ise knowledge he• had no foundation for the report ] he wes ttady to 'take a verdict for nominal damage* titerely. Henry Stirt called and examined.—He is partner in the hoose of Stint and Co.; he first did boil nese with the Plaintiff some time before January lest, and took bills at three months for the amount of goods sold him. He knows Mr. Costar; on the 10th January he was standing at the Defeo dent's door when the postmen delivered the letters, on opening one to himself from Norwich, lie was informed in it that it was reported that Hawker had.••opt payment; he mentioned it to Coster, who said it could not be, but about two hosts after Costar called on him, and said he was afraid it was true, for he had seen a letter from Norwich which mentioned a great failure there, but no name. The next day Mr. Costar called on him again, and said he had seen a man from Norwich, named Baird, who told him on his asking *hat news, that Hawk's had stunt payment, and he win sure of it, as Mr. Bignold had told him so. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE here intimated to the Solicitor-General, that ou case was made out against the Defendant. The SoLICITOR-GBIIERAL consented to be non suited, and the Plaintiff was accordingly celled. Mr. SCA RLETT, who was for the Defendant, said, he owed it to the Plaintiff to say that there was no ground whatever for the report. THE SING V. WEAVER AND OTNERS. This was ■n information filed agiiiist the De fendants, the proprietors of the John Bull news paper, for a libel on bitty Wrottesley. Mr. SOLICITON-GENERAL said hef was for the Defendants in this case, but as he felt it impossible to deny that the publication complained of was a libel, he was willing to let a verdict of guilty be re corded, reserving what he had to say till the De fendants appeared in :mother place. Mr. &WATT desired that in consenting to a verdict of guilty being entered, he subjected him self to no cundilions, but should remain free to urge in aggravation of punishment, if he saw fit. The Jury, under his Lordship's direction,_ found a verdict of guilty. OLD BdILIt Y. FRIDAY, JULY 27. Hen►y llawkins and James Turner were indicted for stealing from the rerson of Mr. Jagleo Cooper on the evening of the 6th July lest a 101. note. The Prosecutor stated, that he was act:Gated by the Prisoner Turner on the 6th July, while he was standing at the shop window of a boot-maker's in Middle-row, Holborn, who entered into a conver sation, and represented himself to be a cattle-dealer in the country. After walking together some little distance he was prevailed upon to hove something ' to drink, which he complied with, and they tiro ceeded to the Blue Post public-house, in Mouth amptoo-builditigt, Holborn, sod sat in the parlour. At that time no person Ma ids the moult NI. in a few minutes Hawkins came in and rotered into conversation, saying be was • tradesman in the country, and had come to London for medical advice un account of ill health. Soon after another person ca►ue in, and seated himself apart from them. Hawkins, and the last person, laid some bets with each other, when the latter said, " You are all three poor fellows." Hawkins seemed angry at the remark, and asked him what sum he would bet that they could not produce 10/. ? The Pri soner, Hoskins, then asked witness if he had got that sum ? He replied he had, but it was at home, and he would go fur it, which he did, old on his return to the public-house, the Prisoners were in the tap-room, who went out and retired into the parlour. Each of the Pri►oners produced, as wit ness thought, 10/. and held it in their hands. Witi►ess also 'hewed Inv 10/. when the stranger admitted having lost the bet of one pound to each of them, but offered no money to pay it. It was then proposed to bet " double or quits," or some words which witness did not understand. The Prisoners then put down in a hat what they called 101. each, and witness put in his 101. also to bitsd the bargain. A dictionary was then produced, and they told witness he had lost. Wit ness wished to have his 101 returned, but was told be had lost it ; this lie denied, as the bet was only for I/. Fti►diog lie could not get his property, he called loudly for assistance, but could get none at that house. He then rail across the road to another public-house for aid, and in the interim the three persons ran away. A con stable being on the spot joined the Prosecutor in pursuit, and at • distance of 400 yards apprehended the two Prisoners, but the third escaped. The constable in question who took the Prisoners in charge. stated, that while they were in his cus tody he observed • piece of paper fall from the per son of Hawkins, which, on being picked up, proved to be the M. note of the Prosecutor, the number corresponding with the memorandum he had taken of it at home. James Read, sen. en officer Irelonging to Hatton garden, searched the Prisoner., and on Hawkins found among some mrtuonnulums a flask note, of which the following is a copy : " No. 7.-1 promise to pay to Talents, Ins and Oute, or Bearer, Two Peace, when the penaissed drone and the monopolising became shall have ►ers reesowed from the hive of British ladnatry by the ale or the better.

On Thursday night, between half past 10 and 11 o'clock, lie was crossing the ruins leading from the Borough Road to Newington Cause way, on his return home, when four men, of whom the Pri soner was use, came before him on the path, and with the most dreadful imprecations told him they must have his money or his life! He said be had nothing worth their taking, and was trying to avoid the gang, when the Prisoner rushed upon him, and with a most terrible blow felled him to the ground. Prosecutor called " Murder! murder !" On which one of the robbers, a short man, dressed in a blue coat, jumped upon his oeck, and lean. ing his 'bands against an adjoining wall, continued jump ing up and down upon his throat, till his cries were stifled, whilst another man was employed in kicking him in the ribs; he was then seized by the waistband of his trou sers, turned on his face, and all his pockets were rifled of their Contents, which altogether amounted to the sum of 3s. 6d. The thieves, disappointed at finding such a trifle, commenced kicking and heating him with increased vio lence, till at length his senses forsook him, and he had no further neollection of what occurred, till he found him.elf under the Care of an officer, by whose timely ariival, he bad no doubt, his life had been saved.

We have - had an excellent [image from the Orkneys to this part of the world ; the weather, however, since we base been here, has not been so favourable. " We have made two attempts to unload the transport, having misrule fast to icebergs for that purpose, but have been blown off successively by heavy gale., with the loss of some of our boats from the deck, and no small share of tribulation for the transport, which has not been properly fortified fOr the ice. She has come off, however, very well, con sidering every thing, having onlylloat the copper from her bows. We are now taking advantage of a fine dry, and hope to get rid of her ►n a day or two, ■nd to proceed upon our destination. " We made an island about • week ago, called Resolution Island, where we expected to *ft "MS Indians, hut there was so much ice betweiew dot ships and the land, that we could not get in. •r I can hardly give you an idea of our intended route, or, ►core properly, of our ideal route: first. because our course most, in a guest measure, de pend upon the state of the ice ; secondly, for want of a chart, fur those In common use !it'd so incor rect in the general outline of the coast as to be perfectly uvrleas. If, however, you should fall in with • good mop of the country, I will tell you the track we shall endeavour to take. " After making Cape Farewell, the southern extremity of Greenland, in lat. 39. N. and long. 44. W. we proceeded nearly due west between Cape Chidley, on the Labrador Coast, and Resolution island, in lat. 61. 40. N. and long. 63. W. where we now are; from hence we in• tend to steer, if wind and ice will permit, 'about a north-west course, and endeavour to explore en inlet to the Fast of Repulse Bay, which has never yet been entered by any one but Fox, about ISO years ago ; thence we shall proceed to Hearne's Sea, where we shall winter (if we get there) ; then to Mackenzie's Sea, Behring's Straits, Ike. " All the Officers are exceedingly agreeably, and I have hut little doubt we shall spend the winter very comfortably together. We are ill pre paring our rifles for shooting deer, with which these islands abound. We are, however, exceerlinele well off in the eating wry—pl en ty of fresh br e mutton, pork, eggs, fish, and poultry on besides sheep, pips, and 22 line bullocks, on horrid the transport, and potted meats and soups of all kinds for ►nore than three years, so that our ials provisions we scarcely need taste the whole voyage, unless we choose. " The mean temperature where we now are about 35 deg. Fahrenheit, the sun just skimming below the horizon at this time et midnight, so that we have constant day, which you may conceive is a great comfort in navigation amongst ice. An appa ratus was yestetday let down to the depth of 500 fathoms for bringing up water : its temper,iture by a registering thermometer was 401 degrees Fahren heit ; that at the surface being 36 degrees. The specific gravity„, at the same depth was 1.0.178. and at the surface 1.0260. • Our position, as deter mined all -- alwes• •, the riorth•e- . -.
