Gentlemen in office are the objects of very con , . aiderahle envy, butiit sheuaseem, without good grounds ic for they do not possess one moiety of be ability or power of Gentlemen who are out of office. Wh& . Ministers toil and strug4le to pro cure' money for the service of the year ; to raise Ind equip troops; to send out reinforcements and expeditions ; to reconcile the jarring irate tests of foreign states,and unite the civilized world in raw common bond—while, we say, they toil and struggle at these mighty labours, and, we lament 4 ) al, very frequently find all their efforts vain, the Opposition Statesmen of the Chronicle, and the ruidille-course Politicians of the Times, meet fill not the slightest difficulty in levying millions; kraisling mid dispatching armies to all points; c omposing the differences among all the powers fl•;urope ; and, in fine, carrying the resources 1 the Country to the highest pitch, and sur glinting with the utmost facility the most tower % obstacles of foreign policy. It is truly asto 4iting to sec how admirably tbmy manage.all our 434 %141 'concerns ;—their measures give (for the 7,..41t4tie) satisfaction at home, and their power- Vezpioits abroad are (also pro prime) every way I 4 : 11 : 1 1 of the great people whose affairs they se 1 tl, l and, iugeniously conduct---in idea.

A. --;llicre seems to be a general concurrence among the higher order of Critics, in pronouncing this picture to be the best the-ingenious Artist has pro duced, great and unrivalled as his powers are in subjects of humour and character in middle and lower life. It is iinpossiWe by description to do justice to this work. A great nuni! , er of persons ate entployell in the scene, and there is a natural, vivid, and varied expres s ion in all of them. The alarm in some, the merriment in otl•trs, and the direction of the w hole to the niait , purpose, shew a remarkable observation of cbaiacter, and power of ski nesting the vari. us emotions of the mind. The medial:kat cxcellenee of the Artist may rank with the best proof of this species of merit in the Dutch and Flemish schools, and the mixture and distribution of light and shadow give full effect to the scene No. 212,—Portraits of part of the Family of Earl Grey. fLostsos , noticed this pic tare in its progress, and it is but justice to add, thAt the Artist has t . k.ily accomplished the promise which it then presented. The figures are well grouped, and they are employed with an air of truth, simplicity, and effect. All.the opportunity which the situation admitted Of a due contrast of light and shade, the Artist has judiciously ma naged. The favourite Ass is well 'placed, and painted with as much truth and accuracy as usu ally appears in Artists who wholly devote them selves to such subjects. No. 385 --Portraits of the Family of the Marquis of Winchester. T. STEIVAUDSON. - Anotber admi rable family groupe of seven beautiful children, painted with uncommon interest and effect. The great difficUlty of works of this description is to connect the figures together by some natural chain of action, and to give that variety to the bends.from situation or expression, which indivi dual portraiture . precludes the Artist front attaio lug by the esierctsg of his fanq,_taste, or imagi nation. In these points, Mr-.- Ste wart StVartrti has very happily succeeded in the picture hefcre us. A fine Newfoundland dog, bestrode by the youngest child, like another Nimrod, brandishing his whip, occupies the centre of the canvas, and all the rest of the family' are more or less occupied with this object. They are finely massed together, and thuuigh the picture is not very advantageously situated, it is impossible that its merits should escape attention and consequent approbation. .No. 335.—Sour Apples. M. W. SHARP. —A whimsical though rather melancholy story, excel lently told. A boy attended by the physician for a severe indisprisition, is Undergoing the scrutiny of the latter, who seems completely puzzled to ascertain the nature of the disorder, which is, however, discovered by a sister of the patient,Who is drawing front his coat pocket an ample store of crab apples. The anxiety of the fatuity is well expressed, and the whole of the countenances are german to the nature of the subject. The picture is also finished in that high style of excellenCe which NO much distinguishes all this Artist's pro ductions. • Ossonn, JUNE 5.--On Friday, the 28th of May, the following Gentlemen were admitted to degrees.:., Bachelor in Divinity—Rev.

Wednesday evening last the lotiOigs of Lady LaCELI3, in Upper Crptton-htrret, Edgware-road, were robbed at various articles, with which the thief got clear off. The mysterious disappearance of a servant girl who had been sent on a messege to Leith, and whose clothes having afterwards been found at the root of a hedge in Newhaven, excited strong apprehensions of nurrder. It appears, however, that the g i r l h a d dressed herself in some clothes of her sweetheart (a -ailar), and had been noticed on the road as a comely sailor Ito;.

HUGHES. • 'PIN action was brought on two bills of ex. Change, drawn on the defenthint by Mr. Redhead Yorke. It appeared that Mr. Redhead Yorke . was in pecuniary difficulties, and that in order to relieve him, the defendant gave the bills in tpies tion, together with two others. Mr. Yorke sti pulated at the same time in writing, that Hughes should be permitted to stop 31. per. week out of returns of the Weekly Journal, which he printed for him. Mr. It. Yorke gave the bills to Mr. Patten, his solicitor, who thereupon paid a judg ment-debt of Mr. It. Yorke's, to a much larger amount.; Mr. Patten was cognisant of the agree ment which Yorke had made with Hughes. Some time after, but before Hughes was reimbursed, Yorke tnok the Journal ,from Hughes, having first got 'a friend to pay Hughes - 791. which he owed him, besides the Bills. Hughes refused to per mit Yorke to rem° , e the printing of. the Journal frOm his office till ;he 791.. was paid. Patten,af ter the hills - liccaine due, indorsed them for a vit.. luab'e_consideration to the plaintiff. ELLENBOROUGH held that the plaintiff sty , al in tin:. S3IIIC situation as Mr Patten, the bill having been indoricd to him after it befame due ; and that Mr. Patten haying been privy to the con 7 tract between Yorke and Hughes, that Hughes should deduct 51. per :week out .of the journal, Patten stood in the same situation as Yorke; and 6S Yorke could not have recovered, as he had not fulfilled his contact, neither could ; Patten or the plaintiff in thiS action. ills Lordship directed the plaintiff to be nonsuited. fi.V.VLINS V.

Three servants of plain till were called, but not having set down in any book what fish each. delivered, they could not I swear positively to the delivery of more than to the amount of 131. 6s. 2d. They swore that the. fish WAS principally ordered by defendant's- ser-' vants, but was sometimes ordered by 4 Captain Farquhar. Mr. MARRYAT, for the defendant, said he should prove by the evidence .of Capt. Farquhar, that the fish was sent as a present by him. , his client ens a lady, who, if compelled to . pay for all .the pre sents she received, would be: involved to an indefi nite extent. Captain Farquhar swore that he hail hem . a Capt. in the Guards, that be had lodged in the house of plai t iff, with whom he had gut acquainted While .hei the Captain, wasitt th.e.liing's - tlettetw when plaintiff asked him for hi..enstont ; be, swore that all the fish were sent as prevents by him, that plaintiti knew it, and that he had never introduc ed the defendant us a_ customer to the plaintiff.— On cross-examination, he allowed - that 'Plaintiff had made out a bill to (in which bill he Sdid those articles xvere included, but said he bad not the bill), foam which he gave him bills of exchange, and that about the time they were beco►i►ing due be took himself off from the plaintiff's house, without giving him any notice, and that he was at present in the King's Bench, A servant of the plaintiff wits.called up, to con tradict the Captain, who positively swore, that the Captain had introduced the defendant as a customer, but also allowed that defendant said she owed a bill to another fishmonger, and could not deal with plaintill till that was paid.

Among the many improvements in the country, .that of rearing bfkis cattle deservei the attention not only of the agriculturist, but of the cOuntry in general. The first thing to be studied is a fine breed, which are . always nice feeders ; the sccond is the easiest method of rearing or 'suckling.— From experience it is now perfectly understood by some breeders, that calves -suckled upon churned milk, thrive equally well, by giving about one third more,. by which all the butter is saved for the market, and there 'has never been an instance of the calves brought up in this way, either taking the diseases of livetcvoolt or morti6ca, tiou.

He said he generally went a few m il es nut of to w n to perform his operations, and if the notes or money were discovered to be bad, his blindness was an excuse for him, and pre• vented his being suspected. We give the following from the Clonmel He rald of lust week On Thursday night, while Mr. Browne, of Armayle, ani his family, were sit. tiug in the park r, at an early honr of the night, accompanied by their guest, Surgeon Brailsford, of the Royal Dragoons, the house was, beset and entered by a banditti of armed villains, seven in number, of whom four took post as sentries, and three burst into the parlour. The leader of them - instantly presented a blunderbuss, and demanded arms, on which Mr. Browne knocked him down. Dr. Brantford attacked a second, when in the conflict one of the villains fired at him, end ono* they at Mr. Browne. The latter was desperat e ly wouuded by a discharge of small slugs from a blunderbuss, having r:,:ived several of them in the breast .and body ; the former was severely wounded by a pistol-shot in the arm, anahad his face and head savagely cut . and matOed. Dr. Brailsford's servant, hearing the shots, got a pis• tot from some in part of the house, and attempted firing it, but vain, the powder having been taken out, although the ball was left in the pistol. This gallant fidelity cost the pour fellow !us ; the v.refeh at whom he aimed having instantly Lio - Ati the contents of blunderbuss through his Ludy.
