That/remit Exhibition at Sprinrgerdens con mists solely of Pointing, in Water Colours, and these by a single individual—an Artist of the mime of WALLii, little knows., we believe, iu the gent rid circle of our dung Artists. He is said to be a rising man who is entirely indebted to his own powers fee the proficiency which he has Nuquestiou. ably acquired in his profession. That this prod. civet/ is considerable, the pictures unquestiunibly peeve; they also, in some instances, convey a strung amtolnuation that the Artist is, in a greet degree, Mlliaseglit, and lies not availed himself of the very rimoomep drudgery of an academic course of study, by which he might (and no doubt from his powers would) have attained that anatomical know ledge of the human figure, which would have • fumbled bias to delineate it at will, with ease mid eorreetwess. This defect is, if we mistake tiot, observable iu some of the present pictures ; it is however het justice to say, that the Artist his, by chiefly omillning his studies to landscape paint *, adopted a branch of his profess on, which in weepy instances excludes the tiecesoity of any eery *este delineation of the figures which-are intro timed is the prospect, and of course avoided in a API* dives aloe Necessity of touching upon those trots of hie pearession to which he bed not very as. .11ifinously devoted his attention.

Mr. Mathews, the celebrated mats a meetly -birth and - arrived beef on Bate rday, paid him every attention, _ theatre ; and, by their advice, the perfomsance of his day, at three o'clock. that night promoting bills were printed under , of the Society, whom every gentleman in the county honours, and who is esteemed and respected by every man that knows him. Unfortunately, the urgency of the case. or inadvertency, prevented ap plication for the permission of the Mayor. In the esarse of the forenoon of Monday, while Mr. Mathews was louogiog in the library at the Parade. a City Constable rushed into the library. with fwy sparkling in his eyes, and with a roll of paper in bis hand, said, " Is a M— M— M— M—• Mr. Mathews here ?" The maniac appearance of the constable induced several gentlemen to retire to the extremities of the apartment, hut Mr. Mathews instantly annouueed himself. The con stable unfolded his roll, which was one of Mr. Mathews's bills, and said, " how deredest you, Sir. put forth them bills without the Mare's 'Jennie siou ? Hese Worship is mod, and you most come along with me to the office directly. Mr. Mathews, perhaps remembering that " a dog's obeyed in of fice," went to the Mayor's office. On his return. he entered into no detail of the conversation at his interview, hut ordered a few more bills to be printed, with the head—" By permission of die IVorrlsipfal John Kinekelo, Esq. Mayer,"—adding, " the Mayor was very polite, and behaved like a gentle ;" but his Deputy. " that ruffian-looking fellow, by G—, I thought I was arrested for high tremors." The report went instantly abroad that Mr. Mathews was arrested, and that there would bt uo performance, which occasioned a great fuss to that gentleman, and very considerable chagrin to the society who patronised him. Souse time after wards the same constable went to the office at the theatre, and stated that the Mayor expected. as customary, Moe tickets (54 shillings worth), taut that ,it (the constable) would nut be so saran, Alumnus( down four telipeunies fur his own anions men.
