We limier there are (as mast always be the ease) two or three great exception', who, however imperfect he their education, must still ad vance from the native energies of their own talents. (gulch a stamp was a young man named (we believe) PROSIER, who tAllibilftl own model% from poetical 'Objects, at two lIIICITSPiVe exhibitions of the Academy, six or eight years ago. The members of this corporate body admired the works, and wonders d at the talents of the man ; eve; y hotly praised them, but nobody held out a helping band to the Artist, who in Malcom mid despair, broke his works to pieces when Ire had to carry them back to his closet. Another exhi bition came, hat Mr. PRO , SER was not there—nor in the interim was it konwii that lie had been suitor at the gate of any academician. 'lle humanity of Mr. ilreter, who said, if hecould be found lie won't, send him to Italy with his own sun, led to an inquiry after the Artist, who was discovered just alive in a garret in Clare-market, where he hail been lone pining in waist nail misery, and he died trefore he could be removed from this wretched situation ! Art would not have enstalned such • loss if the British Institution had been in existence, to watch the growing energies of a retired student ; and yet Iwo such Artists might have been main tained for a year at die expense of one of the ostentatious auntie, dinners at the Royal Academy, which are given by nierobers of that body to their friends and a new public cha racters. Once we recollect rejecting the name of Lord BYRON from their dinner list, because his presence would be thought diepleasing to an Artist, who was, however, above the mean. netts of peewits' pique to any man, notch less to the first living Poet of hit day. The Academy has, however, filled its Ili:l4l,mA Exhibitions, which du not at present seeni as attractive as formerly. The raze for Portrait Feinting (the prim -Olaf,' action at Somerset House), 'ping, we rather think, upon the decline. The British Institution, which first gave the Imp-Ns to the Royal Academy, contiontt s , as it defdivel, to aligment its s phere of actiou—it has svisely diffueed a taste for Oradell Art in fashionable lite, and by exhibiting, Mom( favour or unworthy selection, the works of our rising Artists, and rash ivatiog their taste at the shrine of the old Masters, it has checked the importation of foreizu works he living Masters, and preserved that patronage for native pious which the intercaltrae with the Contisent might have at the moment endangered, at re it mot for the judg. nolo tout liberality orate Directors of the British Institution. —The private galleries of some distinguished iadividuals have also had a coeseiderable sheet its ane,mettling the taste for the Foie Arts, and rendering them attractive and pm. pular ammig the higher claeses. The splendid colleettots of the Marquis of StAFFORD, open (by tickets) on Wed nt inlays, which contains Pilate of the fittest works of the an cient and !modern Masters, among them the chefs deferrer of the I elebvated Orleans Gallery, I, s had a powerful effect in encouraging the Fine Arts in this eauntry. The Noble Marqui has not only placed before the students the best tßtotrls of their art, but he has also rewarded, with a muni ficent hand, the erode of their own pencil. Of Sir JOHN LEICESTIER'S patriotic collection of works of British Art, we have spoken with the warm approbation whit-lithe liberal opening of that Gallery by the Honourable Baronet, was so well calculated to excite—it has produced a great sensation an 1111 l g the lovers of art. Mr. WALTER FAWILVI'II beautiful cullsetion of Water-colour Drawings has also excited enliven:al attenti tttt . The patriotic pm prietur of this Gandy has lately added to his admirable col. tedium, a very fine water-colour drawing by Mr. NICHOLSON. Under such private and public patronage, the Arts may he raid to be dad:, advaacingiu public estimation. The teurts so outwit's:rutty made by th.. Directors of the British lusts. latuny and by the noble and distinguished personages as hose Haloes we have mentioned, will, we have no doubt, place the Fllle Arts of our country upon that liberal mid patriotic fueling which they are entitled to hold iu a free cuuutry. 1.41 Y INTELLIGENCE.

The Lord Mayor said, lie should comp.!! the Defendant to find sureties for his good behaviour towards his wife. The tailor said it would be of nu use to do so, as he was determined to quit tier and leave the country immediately he got his liberty. The bird Mayor said, that although he might be determined to quit his wife, yet they would not so soon quit him, but wail,' compel him, ere be went, to find a maintenance for his wife, and to find bail to answer for the assault at the Quarter Sessions; iu default of which his was committed to poison.

MiSs Osborne also stated that her father's property had been taken in execution, butt that she had saved about 401 in 111011 Cy, and with this suns she had commenced business on her urn account. The gouda were sent home; hilt in consequence of a bill of upwards of Mt of her father's, which had not been taken up, it appear ed that this rut thod had been adopted by a creditor in get the pods iii question, thinking that Miss Osborne had merely nn assignment of her father's property. But it was proved by lulls of parrela that she had milts eil tbe various alludes alluded to from different tradesmen, and the accounts were made out sol Fly in her name, and that she had no contiol or connexion with her father's affairs. The Solicitor On behalf of Mr. Rickards endeavoured to sift this subject ill the bottom, having the schedule of Mr. Osborne in his band ; hid the clear and candid statement given by Miss Oshorne of the embarrassed state of her fa ther's Wait s, induced the Magistrate, Mr. Nicks, to observe, that as long as lie had sat upon the Bench, lie bad never beard any evidence given with sit much propriety and the appear ance of truth. b FORD.
