The Ministry for Foreign Affairs demands his, year 300,000 fr. snore than in 1820, assigning . as a motive for this augmentation, the expense of •the new Embassy to Brazil, and the increase in the *flow:meet to diplomatic ogetlts.

COLLINS'S STAINED GLASS, SirmaJ, Dear Temple bar. The visits op Saturday were numerous to inrprci the re:, catraordireary wpareation of skill and wiener dirplaysil is Atte painted windows prepared for Branspetb Castle, the chief of which represents the Battle of Neville Cross, in *lnch . King DAM Wes taken. The design, which compresses the leading incidents and thief personages of the• light into a compass comparatively so small, deserves great praise. The straggle of heroes—•the dying despair of same, the fierce and triumphasit exultetion of otiose who have prevailed—the precipitate mid dastardly flight of the royal troops—the earnest and confident devotion of the ecclesiastics—the air of based but unconquerable courage which bursts (ruin the captive 3tonarch-s-the subsiding of tie mortal eontest— , the deadly havoc of the chiefs and their generous stets, contrasted with the Lady on her palfrey, her sttendmits, the idle Wile which surround, her as she obseives from the distance the mingled horrors of the field—taking shear• 'le siva into oue view, it may be truly said that few battle pieces have ever exhibited their narratives with such int pressiee simplicity. Hut the execution is still more admi. rable, because the difficulties are so much greater. The most trifling enamel, if tolerably executed, is a considerable operation; bet sheets of it, displaying, in well•blcnded limits, with freedom of delineation equal to the original design,. without diminishing the energy of ally one feat, the war. like action before describer', are things which the a t , has reason to be prowl of. The spectator is to consider ti, difficulties before hinted at—the tendency of the colours, after being placed try the Artist, to shift their dispositi,w, fall out towards and deprave the I outliers, besides injuring the tune and blending of the colours, to say no thing of she fiery faunae' in which the Artist's work is by its fourfold trial vitrified in its passage to immortality. It would be injustice nut to notice Ilse colours, which area a solid and primitive character. There cannot be two finer hues found in say window than those of the blue and given armour,. Whstever inconvenience Mr. COLLINS suffers from the ingress of curious visitants, we trust will be ahem &ally made up to him through the estimation which, not only this work, but the classical refinement of site dis played in the rooms and gallery leading to it (equipped like a fairy palace), must give him in the public mind. EXHIBITION OF SIR. NIARTIN'S PAINTINGS, Corner of Catherine-street l Strand. The intense cariosity of the public to examine he gLa:- sar's Feast, at she British institution, has very naturally led to the project of exhibiting it once more for the asks.. tage of those a 100 did slot succeed it their first visit. Of tie painting, we need add nothing to whit has been already ad vanced upon the subject. The least favourable judgmeots hare decided the pre-eminent claims of the Artist, on the score of imagination and diligent and correct finishing, nt Isis favour. The painting of Joshua, which two yeas, ago was honoured with the psi mum by the Society of Arts, is to accompany it. This is as surprising a performance as the one before mentioned. It implies a more lofty and am bitious sweep or the imagination. The subject will instantly present itself to the reader, who may slut have 'lewd of or seen the painting, by the naming of the inspired hero whose miracle it represents: "Thou sun ■taud still on Gibeun, and then moon in the valley of Ajalms." Joshua' roods upon a trifling emiurnee, partly shadowed by a bold rocky declivity, his hand sketched upwards, to imply the command which lie is uttering. The sun is checked in its course, and the contiguity to its sphere is overaooded with light. The large temples and edifiers on the heights are nearly ivasm►d with the reduudaacy of solar beat, which is aided by the dreadful play of lightnings among the buildings. The bus. tle of the war engages in some way or other the whole of the foreground. While the battle rages on the plain, succours are coming down from the strung holds of Gibes. through narrow and cragged defiles, and the business of the hostile multitudes breaks upon ns in confused and appalling array. We cannot do justice to the power Mr. IlAisult hes displayed in the landscape and its distances. The shower of hail, which descends as if the vault of heaven were climbing, by degrees admits the vision to plains and mountains of dig lances woitdeifully diversified, and of Ism ,extent, among which are to be seen cataracts bursting from their rocky prisons, and the rapid fury of rivers swolo by the tributes of the supernatural storm. The fate of the un righteous and defeated Ammonites is revealed in palpable horror by the tempest of hailstones with which " the Laid chased them along the way that goeth to Beth•Horon, and smote them to Aachen, and unto Makkedab," so thatµ there were more which died with hailstones, than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword." Mr. MARTIN has nearly realised the inspired force of the Holy Text hero quoted. There is an awful ef f ect arising from the whole, which classes the painting among the images of the true sublime. The Gazelle de Florence of the 2Sth of April an nounces that the nuptial• of the Grand Duke of TUSCANY with the Pnuce►s MARIA FERDINASDA of Saxony will very shortly be celebrated. The Princess and her father are already at Florence. We are happy to find the reports of the Countess of WARWICK'S recovery from her late accident are as favourable us it is possible to expect, and that her Lad}ship is progressively approaching to conva lescence.
