SIR JOIIN LEICESTER'S GALLERY. Sir .10111:4 LEICESTER just opened for the season his 6ne collection I'letwes or Bri tish Artis's in his Gillet). in Ilill.roreet, Berkrley square. The Gallery will continue open from one till four o'clock every Monday until the 17th Mac. We cannot allude to this collection without pry. tog the just tribute which is due to the patriotic ' intention of the lion. Baronet, who, sit considera ble expense, and necessarily at great private iiicoii venience, has thrown open his Gallery to the lovers of the Fine Arts, for the purpose of slwwing the ex tent and power of British Art, even under the vitro. nage of one (certainly a very munificent) individual. The Gallery contains forty-nine pictures by British Artists ; and when we :14141 that these works are from the pencils of %VEST, REYNOLDS. WIL SON, Gstosnoftouuti, ROMNEY. LOCTIIEREOU SO, NORTHCOTE. OPIE, HOPNER, HOWARD, LAW RENCE, CALCOTT, FUSELI, BEECHEY, BOUR GEOIS, TURNER, and a number of the most distin guished Artists whom this country has ever pro duced, it is superfluous to say, that the collection 'Ray be viewed as a fair specimen of British Art. It is truly gratifying at the same bore to state, that this collection is so well formed and arranged, as to comprise the best specimens in almost all the departments of Art to which the attention of our Panders has been called. The two latest pictures in the Gallery are by Mr. HILTON and Mr. COLLINS. the rival candidates fur the rank 4)1 Academicians at the late Council of the Royal Academy. Mr. HILTON'S picture is • representation of Ewropa—it is a luxurious deacription, by the pencil, of Ovin's glowing tale. There is a beauty of colour log, and an exquisite poetical delicacy in the man ner of handling this subject, which gives this pic ture the highest valor. The Artist has sliewii what lie can do, and he has found, as he deserved, a va luable and liberal warm,. Mr. COLLINS'S picture is a landscape, quite in a different style from his usual works. It is a stic. cessful effort, and though perhaps in some parts the bright buts of colour may be better spread, so as to harmonise with the eye in tepidly tracing the out line of the picture, yet 011 the whole it is a work which developer, new powers in the Artist, and places his talents in a superior point of view. The Gallery was crowded with people of fashion yesterday. We shall take occasion to consment to detail upon the works in this valuable collection. The patriotic Baronet has also • Gallery of the works of British Artists, at Table)-hove, in Cheshire, WEYMOUTH. MAac u 13. On Thursday evening Lieutenant-Colonel Tay lor, and the Officers of the 10th regiment, gave a must magnificent military ball and supper at Radi pole Barracks, to nearly 150 of the Nobility and Gentry of this town and the county of Dorset (that had previously joined the late Gentlemen's Ball at Thoinas'a Rooms), and in that style of elegance and profusion for which the gentlemen of this corps have hero so highly famed on similar occasions. Nothing could exceed the grandeur with which this banquet shone. A temporary awning, com posed of the colours of all nations, was erected slid carpeted, forming a communication with the ball, card, and supper-rooms. The grand entrance was illuminated with a most brilliant rtar, adorned with evergreens, and the interior of the awning was em blazoned with upwards of 1,300 variegated lamps, fancifully entwined with laurel, under the manage ment of Mr. Hawkins, and altogether producing a most sublime and enchanting effect. At the extremity of the - Ball-room was placed an elegant likeness of his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, over which was painted a plume of feathers, accompanied with an insignia of the Most Noble Older of the Garter, anti the inscription— or Praice's Own Regiment of Royal Hus sat.." I lie t•ompartutents and floor were o►namented with emblematical trophies and devices of war, loyalty, and victory, must delightfully executed from the pilleds of the Officers, and highly appropriate to the actions of Morales del 'Toro. Vittoria, Pyrenees. and Waterioo, in which this brave regiment ob laMed such renown ; to which was added the I,l4otto—"Nec aspera tering." The dancing commenced at hail-past ten, and continued moat merrily till half-peat one, when the company retired to the supper-rooms, the sump tuous disphy of which requires no further cum mem from us, but to observe. that Hardy, the Ma. nor' o 1 the Nlesa, and this Banquet, received uni vers4 and well-earned approbatiou for the very splendid and brilliant arrangentent of the different 141) 1 0 ', each overflowing with every choice wine alul delicacy that could be procured here arid from the metropolis. The party did not retire till Aurora nulled and peeped tutu the plum. Mr. PIiITTES, in I►is address to the Electors of the county of Tipperary, says. " From deference to the su4ge.tions of borne very powerful iriterests, the heads of which are now absent from Ireland. that the peace of the county ought ►wt to lie again so soon disturbed by another contested Election, autl dist toy Right 1100, C petitor should now be placed, MI if by common consent. and with the general acquiescence of all partiev, u► that situation from which * Noble Viscount has heen so recently called to the House of Frets, 1 have declined ollerssig myself to the Elexturs at the present li3usueast, u► the humble but assured confidence, that they will protwrly appreciate. when nest the opportuoity shall arise, the priticiplev and feel►ngs under which I have acted upon the present .

FOX CHAS P.. MELTON MOWBRAY. • MI 81nntlay the Bth inst. Mr. bounds met at Kettleby, and hail an excellent chase. The morning being fine, the effect produced by a view of above two hundred sportsmen in the field, many of them in scarlet, and all mounted on some of the floral horses in the world, was to the spectators, who were numerous, highly animat ing. They tried Canoe Thorns, and Saxetby Gorse, but in vain. Disappointment was strongly marked in every coon. trounce. Marriott's Gorze wee then tried, but sly Keynoted hearing the approach of the hounds, had left the cover a few minutes and took towards Upper Broughton, with • very sharp burst, running in a soot of ring -fence, for about 20 minutes, when he returned to rover; but being closely pressed, and And. ing his pursuers close tsp.'s him, pushed through the gorse, and ran over the lordships of Old Dalby,Upper Broughton, to Widmerpool, from thence over the heath to liickliug, re focusing by Upper and Nether Broughton', towards Wartnaby stonc•pits, which be endeavour..ol to attain, but within a few closes of which he was viewed, amid seen to lay down, nearly exhausted ; the hounds, however, being near upon Isins,poor Beynard made another tffoct, and succeeded M getting to ground, after affording an excellent chase of an hour and seven minutes, without a single check, over a fine, but se vere countsy, at full rpeed, and computed at nut less than twenty miles. These hounds bare this season had many long and severe runs, and, Gum their very superior breeding, have killed massy fuses; it was, therefore, deemed prudent to dig this excellent fox out, sod reserve him for another day's sport, Well might the Poet exclaim— " Oh ! could my muse resemble such a chase, And with the riders keep an equal pace; Though cautious, bold—cool, yet with ardour bred—. Free, without cheek—impetuous, yet untired. re knowing sportsmen! foremost of the lead, Who keep no turnpikes, and no Intim heed; Who crack the echoing whip, go off in style, Enjoy the burst, and pare through every mile; Now found, now lost, sad now again in view, The conning fugitive ye close pursue: In at the death 'lis glorious to arrive, Tu aims the brush no mean prerogative.v . .

PEDESTRIAN MATCH. Blemsel, the painter, started yesterday at Shephe►d's Bush, to run twenty miles in two hours and thirteen minutes, over a piece of ground of two miles, for 50 guineas. He effected bin mikes within six minutes the first hour, and he performed the filet eight miles in forty-seven minutes four i.ecunds, and ten miles in fifteen seconds within an hour. He performed the following five miles in thirty-two minutes, and after completing seventeen miles he became visibly distressed, and was minced to a walk. After refreshing himself with some brandy he started again,and aecomplisbed his task in twenty- Mile seconds within the given time. Betting even at starting.

In addition to which sixty, there ore five boys and five girls admitted as probationary scholars, who re ceive all the benefits of the Institution, except clothing, and ure chosen on the foundatiou as vscuncies occur. At six o'clock the company sat down to a sump. tuous dinner. __ ....... When the cloth wag removed, the LORD 'MAYOR (who was in the Chair). after proposing the usual • health, of the Royal Family, which were drunk with enthu►iam, adverted to the particular busi ness of the dry, nod expressed the gratification be felt ■t the progress of this Society. He said that the company would see the children of the Institu tion pass iu review before them, and that such a spectacle would supersede, the necessity of any up. peal, by words, to interest them in its behalf.— (Applause. The children were then introduced ; they were a clean, cheerful groupe of boys mod girls, whose appearance atid demeanour bore unequivocal testi tuony of their health, and the care which was evi dently taken with their education. A very fine boy was put upon the table, and delivered the follow ing address t— " Generous Patrons—On this ninth anniversary, permit us, poor boys, to repeat our thanks and gratitude, and that gratitude se cypress not only for ourselves, List for our companions that have left us, and whom your generous bounty has placed in situations which prove that sudustry preserves from wane. " Many of our late school-fellows are ins by your rare op, prenticr buys, who without that care might have beeu vaga bond boss, eurumbrauces on society, and prowling about the streets without a home; you, gruerous Patrons, have rescued them from vice, and our humble hopes are, that you will rescue us. Continue, generous Patron', your liberal care to us ; it is for that care and your protection that we present ourselves your humble candidates. We are taught by you to read—to write—to work—to praise ■nd woisliip our God ; and while we are grateful to you, we adore and praise our God that has given you hearts to pity as pour children." An interesting female child was then put on the table, who addre►sed the company an follows : a Patrons—We are poor girls, but grateful ; mod your goodness has turned our poverty to use, for poverty may be virtuous when guided by the baud of pious iudsuatry. " Many of our late companions we often see, who sow reap tbe fruits of your generous care ; they look to us% mid present themselves examples fur our iwination, hut they look to you with seutiu►ents of gratitude, and rejoice. " Generous Patrons, we supplicate from you a conti nuance of OW care to us which you 11.11/e sliewn to thew We are told that instruction improves the moist, and guides that industry which 4iveis strength awl usefulness to the body; both of these we receive from you ; and with piety and industry united, we humbly aspire to the favour both of God aud man ; and hope to prove, that your generous Care to us poor girls was nut in vain." The Loan MAYOR then gave— " Success or the Loudon School of Instruction and ludas try"—whicb was drunk with three limes three. Mr. Alderman ScitimEy then proposed— " The health of the Lord Mayos"—which was received with great applause. The LOUD MAYOR, in acknowledging the favour conferred upon him, expressed his high gratification at being present oil this anniversary, and at witness ing the interesting spectacle which he had joist in common with them seen. These poor children were nut only educated in their tender years, but they were also taught the means of providing for their future support.—(Applause.)—Fur his own part lot had only to say, that so benevolent an object ►hould have always his support. His private feelings and public duty concurred in rendering this Charit y dear to him. He hoped his fellow-citizens would always find him at his post in the discharge of his duty. He knew that he must, from the nature of the arduous duties he had to perform, have to encounter some particular at►imadversious, but these should not deter him from the due discharge of his duty, to the best of his abilities, with steadiness and impartiality. He ultimately relied on the good opinion of all thinking men to justify his acts.—(Applartze.)— The munificent means which the City of London had placed at the disposal of their Chief Magistrate, had given him an occasional prot .. i .. ence nn near mons of this kind ; and he could assure the coin- pony, that wherever he went he found a readiness to pay the just tribute to the humanity arid gene. rosily of Isis fellow-citizens, which they etniuet►tly deserved, on lICCIOOIt of their universal and disin terested henevolence.s—(Applause.) The Report of the Institution was then read. It drew a flattering picture of the progress of this ex cellent Society, and of the moral benefits which it diffused. In stating the expenditure of the last year at 5651. 15s. 6d. it was added, that the treasurer was in advance to the Society about 231. The LORD MAYOR, in referring to the Report, called upon the Meeting to re}►leniali its stocks purse, mod we were glad to flial that this appeal was not made in vain, for a xonsiderable sum was immediately subscribed in the room. The health of Alt. Altlerunisi Scholey was then given. The worthy Alderwau had given his eighth donation to the Society. Mr. Alderman SCHOLRY returned thanks, and expressed the gratitude lie felt for this mark of their Irrspect. On the health, of the ViceePresidents being drunk, Mr. Jr:MN CA Pit. returned thanks, and expressed the pleasure the Vice-Presidents felt iu the dis charge of their duty.

Those meetings had ti ss Sir Id 11,1 long in Guildhall, and were proceeded in at tilat place with so much convenience to the Cs'y', isi which many casts of bankruptcy naturally tics curred, fr the extent of their Sisal it was generally deemed inexpedient to cnt►•e them to be removed.
