THE LADY CHAPEL OF WESTMINSTER ABBEY. " But the building, of all others most in tended for a receptacle and display of sculpture, which former ages have left in England for our admiration, is the Lady Chapel of Westminster Abbey, built by Henry VII. to receive his tomb. It has been said the number of statues, within and without this chapel, amounted to three thousand !—perhaps many of these have been destroyed, and in that number every half figure, or animal, may have been reckoned ; but certainly, even at this day, the number is very great, and it is another marvellous example of the astonishing estimation and employment of sculpture in this kingdom before the Reforma tion. Many interesting particulars concerning this chapel and tomb, from original documents, are given in Britton's Architectural Antiqui ties from which, and The Life of Torri giano,' by Vasari, we may conclude that artist was employed on the tomb only, and had no concern with the building or the statues with which it is embellished. The structure appears to have been finished, or nearly so, before Torri giano began the tomb ; and there is reason to think that he did not stay in this country more than six years, which time would be nearly, if not quite, taken up in the execution of the tomb and some other statues about it, now destroyed, to gether with the rich pedestal and enclosure. The architecture of the tomb has a mixture of Roman arches and decoration, very different from the arches of the chapel, which are all pointed ; the figures of the tomb have a better proportion and drawing, in the naked, than those of the chapel ; but the figures of the chapel are very superior in natural simplicity and grandeur of character and drapery. " From these differences in style, from the indentures with Torrigiano relating to the tomb only, and not to the chapel, and from the names of several English artists, painters, sculptors, founders, and masons, being mentioned in the documents, who were not concerned in Torri giano's engagement, we may presume the chapel and its sculptures were native productions. After the observations on this building, we must take a long farewell of such noble and mag nificent efforts of art, in raising which the inten tion of our ancestors vras to add a solemnity to religious worship, to impress on the mind those virtues which adorn and exalt humanity. " The greater number of these structures are already gone !—the remaining few are daily crumbling into ruins !—and with what are their places to be supplied ? ".The reign of Henry VIII., and those imme diately succeeding him, were employed in settling disputes of faith by public executions; as either of the contending religious parties prevailed, this mutual and undistinguishing spirit of persecution extended to the equal destruction of man and his ingenious labours.”—Pp. man's Lectures on Sculpture.

R.KETS.—June 3. EXTRAORDINARY APPLICATION.--On Tuesday, a private soldier in the Guards, and a brick layer's labourer, applied to Mr. WHITE, at the Queen square Police-office, to decide which of them was entitled to claim the affections of a woman above the middle age. The deserted fair one took her station between the two gallants, but from her looks it was quite evident that her heart yearned towards the soldier. The bricklayer's la bourer stated his case, from which it appeared that he had married his frail rib some years ago, and he therefore said, that as she was his lawful wife he had the best claim to her, although she was now living with the soldier. The soldier contended, on the other side, that he had the best claim to her, for else liked him better than any other man in the world, and fur security he bad lately married her also, and he never would give up his right; wherever he went there should she go. Mr. WHITE :—" Why, then, you are both marr i e d to the same woman ?" The con tending parties answered in the affirmative, and the wife of two husbands hung down her head and sighed. Mr. WHITE told the woman she ought to be indicted for bi gamy, and recommended the soldier and the bricklayer's la bourer to go and settle about their wife somewhere else. The brick,layer's labourer said it was a very hard case that he was to be robbed of his lawful wife in such a manner. He would, however, give up his right and title provided he had a small remuneration for his claim, and that the parish should have no power over him hereafter to make him support her. Mr. WHITE told them lie had nothing to do with it, and they must make their arrangements else where. The parties accordingly adjourned to a public house in the neighbourhood, where,. over sundry pots of half-aad-h a lf , an amicable treaty was entered into between the husbands. The first husband, however, candidly con fessed to the soldier that his wife had never been particu lar about her amours. The bricklayer's labourer, finding it in vain to contend any longer with the gallant son of Mars, capitulated ; terms were entered into, and the parties sep arate d w i t h grea t satisfaction to themselves, quite delighted with the result. Mr. JONES, the Chairman of the Bridge-house Committee, brought up the Report of the Com mittee appointed to inquire into the subject of their Lordships' order to present the account of the in come and expenditure of the. Corporation. The Report stated, that in cases where the question was whether money should be granted to the Corpora tion to defray the expenses of any undertaking in ,vhich they should embark, it was usual to comply with any order for the production of accounts, in order to show the gronnds of the applicationi. and that the Committee saw no reason for refusing to comply with the order of their Lordships. Mr. Jones moved that the Report be agreed to, which being seconded, Mr. BURRA rose to oppose the proposition, or rather to move an amendment that a vote of censure be passed upon the Committee for having acted ithout receiving any authority from the Court. Mr. THORNHILL, a new member, strongly cen sured the Committee. Mr. TICKNER defended the conduct of the Corn mittee in the course they had pursued. That Com mittee had supplied to the Lords wl,at every one had access to—the printed accounts of income and expenditure which the Corporation was willing the whole world should see. They had in no respect violated or exceeded their duty, but had proved themselves worthy of the utmost confidence. He felt surprised at the objection which had been started to the report, but more particularly at the animadversions cast upon the Committee. Those animadversions, accusing some Members of that Court of a violation of their duties, came with a very bad grace from a person who had transgressed the most solemn obligations of a Member of that Court, by affording to those Noblemen who were privately interested information which he was bound by hi• oath to conceal. It was notorious that the indivi dual alluded to furnished the opposing Lords with. questions and information which should not have been given utterance to.—(Cries of " Name.") The LORD MAYOR, finding that the demand to know the name of the party offending in the way mentioned was very loud and general, stated to the Court that Mr. Tickner was not obliged to name the individual to whom he alluded. Mr. TICKNER said that as he had not yet deter mined whether or not to bring a charge against the Member whom he accused of this species of double dealing, he should not at present mention the name. Mr. GALLOWAY, Mr. TAYLOR, and Mr. STEVENS, and others of the most popular members of the Court, commended the conduct pursued by the Committee. The LORD MAYOR considered that the Com mittee could not have done otherwise than recom- mended the Court to comply xvith the order 01 the Lords. Several sharp observations were made respecting the attack made by one of their Lordships on the Magistrates of the City of London. It was admit- tee that some excuse was to be made for sudden elevation,—that it was but natural for a man who bounced from the House of Commons into the Lords, to depreciate every one he left behind, par• ticularly when his interests clashed with those of the community whom their Representatives were bound to protect,—that the serious losses which had been occasioned by the ruin of the combination were but too well calculated to engender animo sities, and that the ebullition which had been made in another place was to be considered as resulting from the vast public convenience which had grown out of the disagreement between the great coal monopolists. The report was agreed to, no more than five or six hands having been held up against it. Since the breaking up of what are called the re gulations, the price of coals, it has been ascertained, has fallen 9s. or 10s. EXTRACTS FROM THE EVIDENCE BEFORE THE LORDS' COMMITTEE, ON THE LONDON-BRIDGE APPROACHES' BILL. BENJAMIN WHINNELL SCOTT examined. I think you stated to their Lordships, on Tues day, that you were the Principal Clerk to the Cham• berlain of London did ; and for 30 years. Explain to their Lordships the exact nature of the Orphans' Fund. Is it not this,—that the or phans of the City of London can lodge their money in the hands of the Chamberlain, and he is bound to give them four per cent. till it shall become due to them, on arriving at age ?—That was the practice; they were so bound to deposit the whole of their property in the hands of the Corporation, and for which the Corporation were compellable to pay four per cent. What sum did the Corporation state themselves to be indebted to orphans or creditors when they applied to Parliament, in the year 1695, for the Act passed in the .sth of William and Mary ?-747,4521. State of what the Orphans' Fund consists ?—lt consists of the duties of 6d. and 4d. on all coals im ported into the port of London, and 4d. per tun on all wines imported into the port of London. What does the tax on wine produce ?—The tax on wine produces on an average from 4,3001. to 4,4001. a year. _ _ The next item is the charges on the City's re venue, amounting to 8,0001.; 2,0001. has been im posed by a subsequent Act, and 1,5001. by another Act, namely, 7th Geo. III.; together 11,5001. There are—a duty of ss. on the admission of every Freeman ; and 2s. 6d. on the binding of every Apprentice. What does the Orphans' Fund receive with all those rates and imposts together ? The produce of those duties and impositions, including charges on the City's revenue, produces about 79,0001. per annum. Can you state what improvements have taken place in the City rents ?—A very considerable im provement has taken place in the rents of the Cor poration within the last 30 years. In the statement which is laid on the table, end ing the 31st Dec. 1813, and purporting to be a brief state of the produce of the City's estate, there is, by general rents within the City of Lon don and the Liberties thereof, and the county of Middlesex, 31,000/. a year ?—There is. Can you give their Lordships any item, under the head of corn, timber, and West India produce, and other articles coming into the port, where the Cor poration of London has power to levy a tonnage duty for the accommodation afforded to the entrance of those vessels ? State all those commodities which pay any sum of money to the Corporation for that convenience.—No payment is made to the Corporation of London, in relation to tonnage for coming into the port of London ; there is a duty HISTORY OF WINES.

Enrron,—A Lady, who subscribed herself an up right, independent, and loyal Englishwoman to an article inserted in a Sund ty Paper of the 17th ult. addressed tt the Ladies of England, has most indisput ibly formed a very just opinion of the precarious state of British manu factures en masse, and advanced many truly logical ger suasives for remedying such unprecedented grievances; among which is a singularly energetic appeal to het countrywomen, that they should discontinue wearing articles of foreign manufacture. But, speaking of one house. not far from St. James's Palace, which the lady informs u , had amassed such a stock of Silks as were, perhaps, never before shown at any depot in Europe, either for beauty or elegance, but she did not add CHEAPNESS (which at this crisis more especially is so important.) This lady further observes, that beyond the royal favour, even the extraor dinary exertions and expence incurred, failed to elicit attention or procure any degree of remuneration; then adds, that although the Drawing-room followed, this splendid collection did not furnish more than from six to ten customers for the articles provided. This is the only paragraph fur which the Lady has not assigned a reason ; and desirous that your numerous readers may derive the necessary :iaurznation on this, the most essential of any, the following obvious reason is assigned, viz. ;—A great proportion of the dresses which graced the Drawing-room, and, indeed, which grace every fashionable fesort, were, and are, furnished by Alessrs.

EXPLOSION OF A POWDER-MILL. On Wednesday morning, between the hours of ten and eleven o'clock, the ►nhabitants of Hounslow, Hampton, Twickenham, and Hanwortl►, were thrown into the utmost alarm by the blowing up of the corning-house of the powder-mill on Hounslow heath, with the destruction of two of the workmen employed on the works. The names of the unfOr. tunate men sacrificed are Robert Barrett, aged 37, and Henry Bird, aged 28. The mills are the property of Messrs. Curtis s _ Harvey, and Co., and within the last three years no less than three explosions have taken place on the site where the present catastrophe occurred. So great was the shock, that the whole of the premises, which are situate above a thousand yards from the corning -house, arc more or less injured. The ele gant mansion of Lady Tollemache, at Hanworth, suffered considerably, the windows being completely demolished : at the moment of the explosion, her Ladyship's steward, an elderly man, named Stokes, was leaning out of a window, and was literally knocked backwards, the fragments of glass sticking in various parts of the body. The injuries he re ceived, however, are but superficial. Immediately on the calamity taking place, Mr. Harvey, the ju nior partner, ordered the whole of his people to the scene of devastation. On their arrival the most ap palling sight presented itself; the corning• house was blown to shivers, huge masses of brick-work, por tions of large wheels and planks of timber, were lying in various directions, the whole of a blackish hue, produced by the powder ; the trees surround ing the house demolished are quite destroyed, many of them being blown into the dams in the vicinity. Search was immediately made for the bodies of the unhappy men who had perished. Barrett was dis covered about 50 or 60 feet from the site of the corning-house across some water; his body was mu tilated in a shocking degree; both his legs were blown off; his death must have been instantaneous, from his head being crushed flat. Bird was found a short distance from him, but in a much more horrid condition ; his body was nearly severed just above the hips; both his thighs and legs were laid open to the bones, the muscles protruding; every other bone in the body was broken. Both the bodies were removed to a shed near the mills, preparatory to the inquest. Information having been forwarded to Mr. Stirling, the coroner, yesterday afternoon was fixed for the inquiry. John Hanson examined.—On Wednesday morn ing last, about seven o'clock, I breakfasted with the deceased men, and others, at which time they were both sober and in their usual state of health : after breakfast they went to their work. I was employed at the water-mill about half-past ten oclock, when I was alarmed by a tremendous explosion, and on looking in the direction of the corning-house saw smoke and large pieces of timber flying in the air : I instantly knew the cause, and that the men were inevitably sacrificed. CORONER—I cannot in any way account for the accident. By a Juror—lt is possible grit may have entered into the machinery, which, producing friction, caused the powder to ignite. Several other witnesses were examined, whose testimonies, however, did not throw any light as to the cause of the disaster. The CORONER briefly addressed the Jury, who returned a verdict, " That the deceased men were killed by the accidental explosion of the corning house." Barrett has left a widow and six children, and Bird a widow and four children. On Friday morning, as the two-horse coach from Hereford to Bristol through Monmouth was descend ing Ganerew-hill at a slow pace, with the wheel locked, the of•horse, annoyed by the weight of the coach, which was heavily laden, kept bearing against the Lear horse, and at last forced the coach against a slight hedge on the left side of the road, from whence, in consequence of the looseness of the soil, which gave way under the wheels, it rolled over into an orchard below. There were no lives lost ; but three of the passengers (a young married lady, who was going to meet her husband at Exeter, and two gentlemen) were very seriously hurt. The lady fell on her head, and lay for some time as dead, but afterwards came to herself, and we are happy to state is rapidly recovering from the effects of the accident. One of the gentlemen, who had only mounted the coach at the top of the hill atter parting from Major MARRIOTT, dislocated his shoulir ; abd t'_►e other had the small . bone, of hie leg Lokea..-..ifereforcl Journal.
