of this bust, like the justly eminent chars ter of the original, presents a forcible coincidence with nnr observations upon Mr. Iluit4IER . S. In talents, iu learning, in patriotism. and an unostentatious simplicity and ingenuousness of character, these distinguished Statesmen bore a striking resem blance to each other, while at the same time the Enron and outline of their features afforded little room for the artist to convey by his powers an tide. game representation of the intelligence a which they were susceptible when animated by mewed energy in the warmth of debate. Of Mr. Pox- SONUT we can also say, that, except in the instance .if his bring importuned into • sitting by Mr. Pore, fur one of the illustrations of an historical work; we are not aware of his hiving ever sat to sit artist. Independently, therefore. of the difficulty under which the artists must have laboured front the nature of their subjects. they had also, we pre sume, to encounter the disadiantege of nut instnt diately copying from nature. Our limits will not allow us 'ta_dwell soy bilker on the merits of this Exhibition. We ibull resume the subject in a more detailed form. BRITISH INSTITUTION. • We turn from this rapid sketch of tfte 'principal works of the modern school, to the pictures by the old masters in the present Exhibition of the British Institution, the private view of which took place on Saturday list. It is this coincidence in the °pro log of both places on the same day, which imposes upon us the duty we invariably. and often exclusive ly perform, of announcing at the first moment the exhibition of works of art, and intpressing on the public the interest they ought to excite, and not any desire to bring into &feet contrast or compare.. 'tarn the works of the old and modern school, though we are not of the number wholivould tremble fur our own artisti at such a competition, if conducted on fair suit liberal grounds. 'The Old works were executed under all the excitement of thrtitificent • jutronage, mid the artist received payment fur his -work with the conscious independence that the pur chaser preferred the picture to the money. andielt and appreciated its value. Whether these 'dean lager impel the efforts of modern artists and ctotin their labours, it is for those who are more immedi ately acquaiiited with the sale of their works to pro. goofier. The object ;if "the Directors of the British In stitution in collecting for the present Exhibition mine of the chef rtfearees of the Italian, Sposiish, Flemish, Dutch. and French schools, is doubtless to hnog before the public and the artist. iu a con- . Isenient and -instructive form. some of those works of standard merit in the general and recorditfopi- Ilion of Europe, which are calculated, if well' via seined and studied, to - ripen and correct she taste of the one, and enlarge the sphere of information of the other. 'Pile present Exhibition, besides two of the admirable Cartoons,. The Gate of the Temple. and Christ giving the keys to Peter, which occupy the extremities o f the north and south romp*, contains some splendid pictures by RuasNs, TITIAN, the POUSsINN the Coaatccts, PZVL POrkilt, SALVATOR _ MURILLO.

The Proprietors of these pictures, at the. head of whom is the Pasties RIGRIIT, and the moat distinguished of the nobility, have done an es. 'emit', 'mice to the fine arts of the country, by presenting so many excellent works for pub lic inspection. and the effect of such exhibitions must be of incalculable advantage. The author of the Catalogue Raisotsm4 may recommence his 'cri ticisms oi• the pictures di the Institution, or ra ther his vilification of the motives of the Pro prietors, who disinterestedly present them for ex hibition, and at the same time contribute their purses, and the ehef d'auvres of their galleries. for the 'promotion of 'modern art. If the antlior of the Calalogrie•Refroorti Cdti venture upon soother antorpteors proddetion, ode or two clerical errors to the Catalogue, the re-exhibithin of one or two pictures, and the (utmost necessary) disadvantage to 'hi. It some are exposed frodi`the construction of the Gallen., particularly in the south room, may afford abundant food for a greedy and illiberal appetite ; but the public at large can feel little iii. west in such a controversy, and those who en courage it can have lint an imperfect notion of the Idamier iu which the arts can be rendered either Useful or•popular in this country. The two Custom, by ItArmAcL, ill this Exhi bition, are in themselves studies, and will repay the -attention of the student in the same proportion as he males them the exclusive subject of his h.latton. Christ's Charge to Peter (or, as it is call ed, The girieg the Keys) is a great production, for biro.% feeling and diversified character. 7he Lome Mall Heated, or,The Gate tf the respit e is truly grand composition, and full of admirable in. structiou to the student in art, who does net con tent himself with • superficial glance. We shall take the other works in detail—the greater part of them ire excellent. Several diPtinguisked personages Were at the pri. 'trate view on Saturday. EXHIBITION IN OIL AND IVATLrR COLOURS.

LeIW INITLL!CENCF►. CONIIT OF KING'S BENCH, WISTMINSTIR, SATURDAY, MAY 2. DISSENTING CONGREGATIONS. T116 .. N1N0 D. Mg AFT. AIR. LUTON AND than' This was an indictment against these Defendants fora conspiracy to a.semble and disturb a congre gation of Pristei.taiit Dissenters, assembled for Mi. xitrestvarsliii, et a Wipe duty certificated fur that purfar•e. There was a second aunt against the • Defendants fur a riot. At the' trial befiire Mr. Justice Flolrilyd, at the last Assizes for Wiltshire, the Defendants were serendly arlsiiiittetl upon the count tor conspiracy, but were rabid guilty of the riot. Mr. Serjeant P►.LL now prayed that they be brought up to receive the jurigmeilt of the Court. From the Lear►wd Judge's report, it appeared that the Rev. \lr. Easton was perpettial curate of the yerish of "fisbury. 'in the county of Wilts. The Prosecutor, the Rev. W. Hopkins, was a Dis senting Minister of the Independent persuasion, and lied a regularly licensed chapel in the adjoin ing parish of Austell. A short tithe previous fo the month of December, 1816, the Prosecutor had taken a small private house in the parish of Tisbary, about one limidred and fifty yards from the punch church, in die occupation'of a man nam ed Butt, for the purpose of celebrating divine wor ship, disseminating the Gospel, and milting converts to his persuirsion ; a oil avert ificate had been obtained at the Quarter 'Sessions, licensing the house. On the Jlst of December, 18 IN, the Prosecutor proposed celebrating divine worship at Butt's house, in the eveonig, marl was pria•rediig to his destination, when he wits met by sonic of the Defendants, who essailed hint with hisses, gromiings, mid other ex pressioss of hostility. flo, however, proceeded to the house, and commenced the service. In the mean time, a greet number of persons, amongst whom were the Defendants, assembled on the dancing green before the house, and began to make the most violent noises, surl► as whistling, blowing ringing large sheep's bells, mid halloo. ao that it was impossible for himto proceed in his ministerial duty. He frequently attempted to g• on, but was so overwhelmed with the noise with• out, as to frustrate all his efforts. He sent out some of the congregation to remonstrate with the De. rendesits, but in vain ; the noise wss continued. The Rev. M►. Easton was seen among the rioters, and• was heard to order the mob three times to " play on," which they did accordingly. Another of the most active disturbers wall James Garrett, a substantial Griner, and constable of the palish. 'I he other seven Deka. lams were labouring men in he,. baindry, and appeared to join in the riot without any previous concert or design. It was sworn that a few days before this, Mr. Easton spoke to Butt, and asked Ilion when " that methodist fellow," or " felliive (the witness could not say positively which) was going to preach ?" • To which the an swer was, that Mr. Hopkins was coming on the Tuesday following to his (Butt's) house. The re ply of Mr. Emits,. was, "'I hope I shall be able to make an example of him this mouth;" and Butt rejoined, " I hope not." The Prosecutor having been "drivel) from the house by the disturbance created, left between eh: and seven, and was after wards hunted by the like noises to the confines of the parish. Uider these circumstances the cue was presented to the judgment of the Court. Affidavits were put in on the part of the De fendants in mitigation of punishment. Front Mr. Eastois's effilavit, it appeared that he had officiated in th►e parisib of Tisbury, for a period of thirty years, to the satisfaction of all his parishioners, church men its well as disarmers ; that his income was only eighty pouorls a year, and he had brought up a flintily of ten children by those limited means, six of whom were now dependatit upon him for sup port ; and one had lost a limb it, the service of his country. He denied all premeditation, or previkis concert with any of the ether - Defendants, in the unfortunate transaction in which he was impli cated; and stuteriLlort when lie went to the spot, he had not the slighteit intention of disturbing Mr. Hopkins or Ins congregation, amid that the expressions 4 % ploy up," did not fall from hail until lie believed that the service was over.— Since this unfortunate affair lie had applied to the Prosecutors to know what r .ession would satisfy theta and the rods or justice; and the con dition they imposed ultras him was, the degrading one of inekieg an apology in the public papers. Upon the whole, lie expressed his sorrow for the part he had acted, and, lementing his indiscreet conduct, lie threw himself upon the forbearing coil sidenni 0000 of the Court. Affidavits were put in as to his general charaeter, subscribed by Arun del, the present and late Sheriff of Wilts, and a great many most respectable Magistrates and Gen tlemen, who bore testimony to the prOper and be coining demeanour which Wad marked his conduct in the parish, to the satiglaction of every body, dur• ing a period - df thirty years. Fur the other De. fendaills affidavits were likewise put in of the like teiideney. Mr.CASIDISRD mill Mr. J.F.WILLIAIIIS were heard wills great ability in mitigation, and Air.

The company bad nearty all kft the theatre at that time. Mr. Churchill, one of the box-keepers a: the theatre, 'stated that on Friday night, when the company had nearly left the house, he hoard a scat& on the grauu staircase; be imme diately went to the spot, and saw the Prisoner with a pair of pistols, one of which he was presenting to a gentleman, who was on the ground, and dill not take it.

He said the lady who was in company with Mr. Lambe, was well hairs, to him, and that be bad a commuuication of a particular nature to make to her, which it was necessary she should know, but when he attempted to address her, she treated bim with coolness and contempt, and called upon Mr. Lambe to protect her from " that fellow." He acknowledged having produced the pistols for the purpose of settling the matter on the spot." . . _ . Si; Nathaniel—" I bare heard quite enough of 'your story."

APPREHENSION AND SUICIDE OF AN OUTLAW. *Some Ilkse is Jasnaty last, a person of the name of George Cowen, a merchant is Great Preseothetreet, be came a bankrupt, and absconding from his commission, was otitlawed. Several of his creditors hearing lately that he was living in great style at Rotterdam, applied to the Lord Miror for his issistauce in appreheudiag him ; and accordingly, 'Brand, the Marshalman, was sent over to Holland with his warrant for that purpose. The Italavian Government, hoWever, manifested a decided 'up. positiun to the 'measure ; and it was only by the great est exertions of Lord Clancarly, the British Minister at that Court, that it was at length seceded to. His Lordship was compelled to write LOOM to the English Government, and obtain its sanction to an undertaking, pledging a reci procal conduct, before the Minister of Justice at the Hague was directed to furnish the necessary authority. This was dune un the 1311 i of last month, at twelve o'clock iu the day, and Brand immediately proceeded to Rotterdam is search of his object, and at tire o'clock the same aflame/it he awl him walking in the street. On being accosted by the Officer, lie treated the matter with great contempt, and asserted tbarthey dare not take bin.; but the Dutch an thority bring *hewn to Irim , he made but little resist ante, and suffired himself to be taken into custody. The populace, however, appeared •larineil at the execntion of a foreign warrant iii their streets, and a great body of them collected immediately, who shoved a disposition to oppose the arrest; imeimuch, that the officers found it NC* 'misery to get au immeillite and strung reinforcement; and it was only then by a amnion exhibition of their that a 'rescue was not attempted, and the prisoner was lodged in safety. The same Night he was conveyed by • stroug patty, furnished by the Cortunissaire of Polies., to the prison at the flaetie; and the Gurernor aim di rected to let have terry comfort consistent with his safe custody, till the packet shook, be in readhsess to sail. On the Mousing of the folluwing Wednesday, however, the primmer requested the pi rson appuinled to he with him, to prOcure hills a little cane fur his breakfast, and though the man was nut away More than live minutes, um his niers he found him hanging by his handkerchief to the knob of a small cup board which was fixed in one curlier of the mum lle ass instantly cut 'down, tint he bail accomplished his purpose so carelessly, that life Was totally extinct.
