PORTRAIT OP MS LArs MASESTY. . . Among the Midterm.s ptirtrairs of his late MA. JESTT which hise re.appesired siuce his lamented death, our of the Will lacerating we bare area is is full length picture. at Mr. CoßLlsia's, .of Tem ple-bar. It represents the late Kin° in hta splendid state tuber, rested in King EDWARD'S Chair, sod bearing the sceptre. It Is painted upon glint, from Sir JuSiltlA Itef1101:0V1 hue original portrait in the Royal Academy. for winch his MAJeSTY wt ; and we have nu doubt it was an excellent likeness, at the early period of the late reign when it was `executed. The buillosid effect produced by stain ing on glass is well adapted to display the rich 'magnificence of state decorations. and the purple and yellow colours in the drapery of t h is picture glow with the warm lire* of nature; the bold relief in the buck-ground, the overhanging grandeur of the cur tain, present a good contrast to the sparkling and transparent brightness of the predominating colours, and give a force and depth to the picture which impart to it considerable valor as a work of art. The foreshortened parts, which are judiciously thrown into the shade, are well drawn, and have a good effect. 11'hen it is considered that, in works of this kind, the colours are burnt in by a tedious, anti often uncertain process, that the brittle mate rial on which they are imprePed, often yields to the overpowering lien to which it is exposed, the wonder rather is. at how much is done, than that there should be little defects in the execution, which do not frequently occur in oil painting. Such works, at the moment when the notion bewails the loss of the lustriou• object of theta, are interesting even beyond their intrinsic merit, at all times, from the triumph of art which they display, and the demonstrative refutation they furnish, of the opinions of those who fancy, that this inimitable art has fallen into com parative decay in modern times. This, and other pictures in the same department of art which we have recently seen, clearly shew, that our artists possess, in full perfection, the power of making this branch of w onting as useful and ornamental as it ever was in the time of its more munificent pa trons.

A series of Resolutions were then proposed, high ly approving the conduct of Mr. Lamb, and recom tnending immediate exertions for his re-election. These Resolutions were severally proposed by Mr. Laurie and other Electors, in introductory speeches, acknowledging the honourable and diligent ful filment by Mr. Lamb of the trust reposed in him by his constituents, his frank and affable manners, and his particular +dictator) to the local interests of Westminster. Having at length found a Repre. sentative worthy of this City, it was observed that too great exertion could not be mink in his be. half, not merely to ensure his election, but to raise I • so his upon the poll us should leave all competition fur behind, and place him iu • state of decided superiority corresponding with his merits. Mr. LAMB returned thanks. He spoke briefly and modestly of his own merits, expressed his grateful tense of the honour already done, and pro posed to be done to him, and his determination to proceed in the course which he had the satisfaction to find had met the approval of his Constituents. Mr. Macdonald hiving left the chair, was suc ceeded is it by the Earl of Sefton. Thanks were then moved to Mr. Macdonald for his able and successful exertions as Chairman, in the two last elections, as evinced in the return of Sir Samuel Hominy and Mr. Lamb. The Resolution being seconded, the Earl of SBcros hoped lie might be allowed to say a few words in its support. In conversation among his friends respecting the ensuing election, he said the leading and prominent question was, who is to be Mr. Lamb's Chairman, and the name of Mr. Macdonald, in answer, every where inspired confi dence. and was hailed as a certain pledge of succ.ss.

Mr. DENMAN hoped to prove the discharge still, and for that purpose put iu the log-book where the discharge was entered by the mate, and the pay meta of the wage.; but as these had been entered by the captain's order, and the latter statement was contrary to the evidence, the case for the de fence was therefore ebandooed, and the Dcfeodapt was pronounced Gail/. • THE EXECUTORS OF IVIIILLOSH P.

ELECTION OF ALDERMAN MORA Yesterday, at one o'clock, • nuusermis eint highly respectable Meetisor of LW Irsiends of Mr. Alderman Thorp was held et the London Tom* Bishopegate-street. to convider the best means sr securing his Re-election as one of tbe Represent.- tures of this City in Parliament. When between four and five hundred person* had assembled, Mr. Warms proposed that Boyce Comte., Esq. should take the Chair, lit the room of Mr. Aldermen J. J. Smith. who had siiidertake.t to fill it, but was prevented, he regretted to say. from attending by dines*. This proposition von unanimously assented to. Mr. CON Ss accordingly having token the Chair. said, that he greatly regretted the absence of the worthy Alderman. who would have presided wills so much inure ability than himself. Helves happy to observe so numerous soil respectable au %spent bly of the Livery in support of his worthy Friend. —(Hear, hear.)—lt was svaircely neceseary to remind them that the circumstances under which he (Mr. Alderman Thorp) now presented himself for their suffinges, were ditfereut from those under which he met them on the last sunnier occasion. He could then claim their support only of the strength of the confidence they reposed in his pail copies, and the pledger he gave of his conduct Now lie appeared before them ass Member of Pir liament. conscious of having, es he (Mr. Couto) had coeceived, discharged his duties its the Hewer to such a mariner as proved him to be amply eimoiled to the confidence before placed in him.—(Chers.) Mr. SAUN DIMS then rose to propose the first Resolution ; when he reflected 'sew the maims meetings held fur occasions like the present, awl the talent exhibited at them, he oppreheisded it would be thought somewhat presumptuous ii. I to address them at an early a stage of the proceed imps. But that 'relit% was overcome by . a selow of private friendship and public duty. He had ac companied Alderman Thorp its his late journey to Ireland, as Governor of the Irish Society, the first official 'situation he had held in the city. During that time it had been his good fortune i t , conciliate his friendship, sod to have the uppertii nity of judging of his principles, and of the lather it was unnecessary to enter into a detail to these his friends. oii the last occasion Alderman Ttiorp had come before them as a new man ; but now they had an experience of his conduct. and he was persuaded that the more it was ex. iii i i into the more it could appear that he had isivasie bly proved himself the staunch supporter or . the rights, and the tires defender lit the privilev . l of the people.—(Hear, hear, hear.)--It wee known that he bad made the most simulating exertions to prevent the late large addition tw our military force. which in his opinion was desigised subdue and control free discussion, and the fair es ' pression of sentiment. The ',remit period was one well calculated to call forth all couscieutious Atesu bers of Parliament, all enemies of corruption and profusion, to an honest mud fearless perlurinanee of their legislative duties. It was snore thee probable that the Ministers would require the new Perkin. meat to lay on new taxes, passably to impose lieu restraints. Surely there wits not owe among those be addressed who would comma all etaguseitt the weight of taxation which already pressed so heamly —who would admit of an additiou to the Civil List, or to any other of the enormous demauds ou.the in dustry and Illello6 of the commuoity. Such being the situation of things, what could be of more. portance thou to stud a eau tuto the House of Commons who, as lie always had on every uccomea io his power, would still maiutaiu their best 'memoir and dearest rights. As it was probable that oilier opportunities of delivering his sentiments before the close of the meeting would arise, he should out trouble them with any further remarks at preterit. to proceed to submit the first Resolutiosi. It stated that it was of vital importauce that et this crisis the people should choose Reproietstatives attached 10 the true principles of the Constitute/4i. Mr. SLADE, in seconding it, obeerved, that it was unnecessary, after what had been already mid. to make tiny remarks on the expediency of adopt. ing the interests of the worthy Alderman. As fir the Resolution, its truth was self-evident; and it would only occasion loss of time, ■nd be au smolt to their feelings, to attempt seriously to demon. strafe it ; he had therefore only to odd, that he en. tirely approved of, and moot cordially seconded it. It was then put, and carried unanimously. Mr. S•UNDEILI rose spin, and said, it wee re. tifying in the extreme to soy person who proposed • resolution, to see it meet with the uttaiousous concurrence that his had . .jost experienced.
