Bin was admired, the ether was hissed, yet, as be observed to Geese, it was their owe. As to the pictaroftiouestion, it has faults, and what picture has not ? But the halts are neither glaring nor elementary. The painter had to produce a picture from a subject not formed Is the imagination for a pictorial effect, bat on fact, sad charged to become an historical record of a greet national achievement; besides be was assisted to a particular form of ground, and what wM shim particular colours, and these principally blue sated, " two fierce extremes." How he has overcome all dun difficulties inhereat in his subject, let candour and real judgment answer. Let the most matinees paiateri of our school acknowledge what they all feel, that he has produced, not a splendid as our grids imagines, but a deep-towed and sober-eoloured picture, with a powerful effect, arranged with astonishing skill (in despite of the ruggedness of the materials, in broad masses). and abounding with poetical fire, excellent drawing and masterly handling. It is true that the effect might have been more simple and im pressive, bad the doable action of the general battle. and the 'reaping is the (ore ground not been cow blued. bit then it would not have Mee an historical record. and its osly interest would have been an an. lees display of skill is showing the world bow Beg lisbusen cat sad slashed their enemy. We simeld have had a life guardsman here slicing (oar saves siert at a stroke, and there a miserable Preach Lancer, in vain imploring mercy from an English Hussar. Bat these things do not happen to battles, net time should they appear in the representations of them. Sir Joshua Reynolds says, " the first aim of a painter should be to please," and eceues of blood, and wounds, and fury, do net please. Why then should troth be suriiced to produce a painful effect? With better taste, and finer feeling, Mr. Jones has told his story ; the attitude. the place, the large group., and the priicipal light, all containe to point oat the Hero of the piece, calmly directing the great motement which is tilde( place about him. while the British Army, If we may be allowed shy simile, lent fanned 'rings, driving the confused toot of Freights.° before him, as birds before the mighty King of the air. He also le , be connecting link benne that action and the grouping is front. So mach for what may be termed the grand prtion of the picture. Then, with what delicacy of feeling is the mournful part told by the broken gun, the melancholy prisoners, and the few dead bodies in front, and the friendly Maces performed by General Alava and Captain Wright to Lord Fitzroy Somerset and Colonel Delaney i at the same time die. closing with the nicest touches the minor occurrences, by that beautifal passage where a horse is drinking at one of the pools, which mark the wetness of the wea ther before the battle. A strong poetic feeling is dis played in the wild form and sulphareons appearance of the atmosphere, mid the gleam of sunshine upon La Belle Alliance, with the dark cloud rolling heavily off beyond the Prussians. These are the nice discrimi nation of a man of real genius and fine taste, and will be felt as suck by all who know bow to value their qualities. If we only look for defects it is easy to find them in all human productions. If we look for merits there are emoogh to be found in this picture to satisfy a sound critic, that the English school of painting may bops to rival the proudest school of an tiquity. ANTI ZOILUS. Sion writing the above I have beard that the Di rectors of the Institution have awarded to Mr. Jones their first Prise of 200 Guineas; their second, of 1511 being given to Mr. Edward Landseer, for his splendid picture of the Larder imitated. A correspondent notices the neglected condition of the house of Weston, near Olney, so long occupied by the poet Cowper, and where be penned so much of hls elegant poetry, sad wrote so many of his ad mired letters. The house, we are informed, was very lately, and, we believe, still is occupied by pau pers, the garden which this Poet delighted to cultivate and adorn is ruined, and the bast of Homer placed , there by him removed. A petition, signed by upwards of 150 respectable householders. having been presented to the Magistrates of the town of Hertford. complaining of the bad qua lity of the beer vended by most of the publicans in that town, the Mayor called a meeting of the Alder men on Wednesday last, to take the matter into consi deration, when samples of beer from I public houses were produced, which fully sustained the prayer of the petition. After a great deal of conversa tion between the corporate body and some of the peti tioners, the Meyer declared and wished it to be under stood by all the publicans in the town, that if they were not in future supplied by their landlords, the brewers, with good wholesome bier, according to the present price of malt and hops, such as their customers approved of, they (the Magistrates) would grant the Innkeepers' licenses to free houses i* any part of the town where they could get the same.

Tits TROTTING MATCH roe 300 Goartsas.--The pres sure of the Parliamentary Debates prevented our going into particulars on this great sporting match over Sun buty Common on Monday. It was between the slate- coloured American horse, said to be the best of the four lately imported into this country, tad a horse belonging to Mr. Witten, to carry 12 stole, and the American 11 stone. The winner was backed to trot the three miles in ten minutes. The American horse took the lead, and was passed cleverly when he broke into a gallop, and in turning round Mr. Willie's horse got considerably a-head, and was fifty yards before the other when three quarters of a mile from home. The Americas horse broke into a gallop again, and did not tura, and on the backers of Mr. Willa. riding up to his jockey to tell bin not to hurry, that horse broke into a gallop, and in turning the American got in first; but Mr. Willan's horse woo the race. —Betting 2 to I on the American. Another match of a novel nature took place yesterday on the Beaconsfield road :—A gentleman of the navbe of Caution undertook, for 100 guineas, to trot his Moue seven miles in half as hour, and to perform each mile within 4 minutes and 22 sewed'. It was done as follows : silo. see. We. see. First mile Second ditto Third ditto - north ditto Fifth ditto Total 29 37 Betting was 6 to 4 against the performance. Last week, some young ladies who had been taking a walk were accosted by a gypsey woman, who, for a small reward, very politely offered to show them their (attire husbands' faces in a pool of water that stood near. Such an offer was too good to be refused, and, on paying the stipulated sum the ladies hastened to the water—each in anxious expectatioa of getting a glance of the " beloved;" but lo! instead of beholding the " fo:m and fate" they so fondly anticipated, they were surprised to see only their own rosy cheeks and sparkling .eyes glancing from below. " Sure you are mistaken, woman," exclaimed one of them, " fur we see nothing but our own faces in the water." "Very true wem," replied ibe sagacious fortnne-teller, " but these will be your husbands faces when you are mar ried."—(Deadee Corrisr.)
