THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS—(Tms EVENING). The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. MALICIOUS INDICTMENTS On the motion of Lord CAMPBELL, this bill, which stood over from last session, was ordered to be read a second time to-morrow. ROMAN CATHOLIC COLLEGES. . The Earl of SHAFTESBURY asked if the Govern ment intended to grant a charter to the Roman Catholic College, St. Stephen's-green, and if there were any nego tiations pending in, connection with the subject ? The Earl of DERBY had no difficulty in answeing the question. As at present advised it was not the intention of the Government to recommend the granting of a charter to the college in question. THE ADDRESS. _ _ The Marquis of EXETER, as Lord Steward, brought up the reply of her Majesty to the address of their lordships on the occasion of the opening of Parliament. On the motion of the Earl of DERBY the reply was ordered to be entered on the minutes of the house. LAW OF DEBTOR AND CREDITOR, AND CON SOLIDATION OF JOINT-STOCK ACTS. The LORD CHANCELLOR brought in two bills, which it was of importance should be passed as speedily as possi ble. The first was the Debtor and Creditor Bill, and the other was a bill to consolidate the law with respect to the winding-up of Joint-stock Companies. He proposed that the bills should be reed a first time that evening, a second time and committed to-morrow, and a third time on Thurs day next. LAW OF PROPERTY TRUSTEES RELIEF BILL. On the motion of Lord ST. LEONARDS this bill was read a second time. - THE WHITSUNTIDE HOLIDAYS, The Earl of DERBY said, in accordance with the usual custom, he should move, to-morrow, that the house, at its rising, adjourn over Whit-Monday and Tuesday, and re assemble on Thursday. THE NATIONAL GALLERY. The Earl of SHREWSBURY moved for a copy of the correspondence between the trustees of the National Gallery and the Council of the Society for the Encou ragement of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce, with reference to the opening of t j he Vernon and Turner Galleries of pictures at South Kensington of an evening, and also for copies of all letters and memorials on the same subject which may have been received by the said trustees up to the date of their making the return now moved for. The Marquis of SALISBURY said he had no objection to the motion. Lord OVERSTONE objected to the expense of printing this correspondence, but as the trustees of the National Gallery had no objection to the production of the papers, it was thought desirable they should be produced. With respect to the opening of the National Gallery of an even ing, he thought such a step was not desirable, as there was' no other gallery of the same description open at dark. More over, it was thought that the gas and the dust arising from a crowded room would have a very injurious effect on many of the Rictliles. The Earl of DERBY said there could be no objection to the production of the papers. After a short conversation the motion for the production of the papers was agreed to. MILITIA COMMISSION. The Duke of NEWCASTLE asked when the report of the commission appointed to inquire into the state of the militia would be produced ? The Marquis of SALISBURY said the commission would meet for the last time on Monday next, after which the report would be laid before Parliament at the earliest possible moment. The Earl of said he had been informed that some judicial business stood for Wednesday next, and he begged, therefore, to state that he should to-morrow move the adjournment of the house until Wednesday, and not Thursday, its he had formerly stated, it being clearly understood that the house would meet on Wednesday merely for the transaction of judicial business. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(Tms EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. SWEARING IN OF MEMBERS. Several members took the oaths, amongst whem were Col, Tynte, Mr. Divett, Mr. Clifford, &c. PRIVATE BUSINESS. Several private bills were advanced a stage. PETITIONS. Petitions were presented in favour of legalising marriage with a deceased wife's sister; the Medical Practitioners Bill; the ballot; against the return of the members for Pomfret, Huddersfield, &c., &c. FOREIGN ENLISTMENT. Mr. D. SEYMOUR gave notice that he would move for leave to bring in a bill to amend the laws relating to foreign enlistment. MR. CHISHOLM ANSTEY, Mr. E. JAMES gave notice that on Monday next he would move for the production of papers relating to the dismissal of Mr. Chisholm Anstey from the Attorney- Generalship of Hong Kong. PENALTIES INFLICTED ON THE POOR. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE directed the attention of the Secretary of State for the Home Department to Return No. 192, of the last session, relative to convictions and penalties inflicted on the poor, under the act 29 Charles 2, by the rnagistrtites of the county of Southampton, for selling fruits or sweets under the value of one penny; and asked whether it would not be expedient to have the law re pealed, or impdrtially administered throughout the country. The hon. member mentioned several cases in which fines were inflicted on persons for selling a pennyworth of some articles on Sunday. Mr. S. ESTCOURT said that if a proposal were made to repeal the act in question, he would give it his most serious consideration. OCCUPIERS OF LAND (IRELAND). In answer to The O'DoNoaltuE, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that bills in refer ence to this subject would shortly be introduced. CHURCH RATES ABOLITION. Sir J. TRELAWNY obtained leave to bring in a bill to abolish Church-rates. THE WAR IN ITALY. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE moved an address for copy of the instructions given to each officer sent by the British Government to the head-quarters of the armies in Italy of Austria, Sardinia, and France, together with any corres pondence that has passed between the Government of Eng land and those countries relative to such mission.—Agreed to. THE NAVY. Mr. HUTT moved for a return of all ships of the Royal Navy not in active service, with the name and class of each ; distinguishing ships lying in ordinary from those otherwise laid up in harbour, and stating the date when each ship was last actively employed.—Agreed to. THE ARMY. Colonel SYKES moved an address for return of the number of officers and men, distinguishing each arm of the service, cavalry, infantry, horse and foot artillery, and en gineers, annually, from 1800 to 1858, b o th years inclusive ; stating the numbers serving at home, in the colonies, and in India ; the enrolled pensioners, and embodied militia and volunteers ; and the amount annually voted for these ser vices, distinguishing effective and non• effective services.— Agreed to. THE ADJOURNED DEBATE ON THE ROYAL ADDRESS. - - - The debate was resumed by Mr. Sergeant DEASY, who, after some preliminary ob servations, said that the Government of Lord Derby in Ireland was open to grave objections as regarded pa tronage, and exclusion of Catholics from juries in particular cases. This had created great bit terness of feeling in Ireland, and excited much dis trust in the policy and impartiality of Government. That feeling should be removed, or, at all events, abated, neither of which he believed would be effected solong as the present Government remained in office. (Hear, and oh, oh.) He denied that the result of the late elections in Ireland proved the opposite of what he asserted, as was contended by some parties. It was indispensable that there should be larger concessions made to Catholics than was proposed by the ; Government. He denied that the antecedents of the present Government were such as entitled them to the con sideration of that house or the country at large—that they showed the greatest hostility to what was liberal and in accordance with the spirit of reformers. When they at tempted to introduce anything of a liberal character they failed altogether—the Reform bill of last session was a proof of his position. Such being the case, he contended that the Government tenure of office must necessarily be brought before long to a termination. The Government might have gained some increase in their numerical strength ; but it was a fact that the Liberal party was much More united than previously, and there was a disposition on the part of that party to make mutual concessions, in order to secure good measures for the country. With regard to the foreign policy of the Government, he did not consider it entitled to that praise which was claimed for it by certain politicians; and the predictions of the Government last session were falsified by the present state of hostilities. As regarded other departments, he asserted that they would not suffer much even if the Government changed hands, because on that side of the house which he occupied there was as much efficiency as would render the transfer of the execudve to their kands unattended with any danger. (Hear, hear.) They had been taunted with their dissensions, but was it not a fact thal there were differences of opinion amongst the supporters of Government on certain questions ? He denied that the Government were justified, from the known consti tution of the house, in expecting to get such a constitutional majority as would, render their remaining in office prudent or beneficial to the interests of the country. He believed that it was highly desirable for the interests not only of his own country, but of England that power should pass from the present Government into hands that were more able to wield it with efficiency, and which would enjoy confidence at home and respect abroad. (Hear, hear.) Colonel DICh SON defended the Government. He stood there as the representative of a large Catholic constituency, and on their behalf he repudiated their being actuated by any sectarian view in the support they had given to the Government. That support was conceded in consequence of a conviction on the part of the section to which he alluded that the Government would conduct the affairs of the country beneficially alike to Ireland as well as England. He denied that dissensions pervaded on the part of the supporters of Government to the extent that was repre sented, and he appealed to the Irish members to give that Government the support to which it was entitled by the policy they pursued in regard to Ire land. He maintained that • the foreign policy of Government deserved and enjoyed the confidence of the country, notwithstanding the attacks to Which it was ex posed and the statements that had been made in that house and elsewhere. (Hear, hear.) Mr. DUFF supported the amendment, and was [LEFT SPEAKING.] GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION. --Th e Government emigrant vessel Parsee, 1,060 tons, Captain William Nor ris, sailed from Southampton on Tuesday, the 7th inst., for Sydney, New South Wales, with 418 emigrants, under charge of Surgeon Superintendent John Sebastian Wilkin son. Her Majesty's Emigration Commissioners will receive tenders to-day (Thursday), for the conveyance of Coolies from British Guiana to Calcutta and to Madras. The ves sels must not leave England before the loth of July, and be placed at the disposal of the immigration agent at British Guiana not later than the 26th of September nest. The Commissioners will also receive tenders for the conveyance of a small party of emigrants to Port Natal, in a vessel capable of crossing the bar, to sail about the end of July.

(Peers Present—The Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord St. Leonards, Lord Cranworth, Lord W ens l e yd a l e , the) Marquis of Lansdowne, Lord Kingsdown, and other Peers.) Appeal causes to be considered :—Judgment—Thellusson v. Robarts et al, ex parte as to'certain respondents ; Hon. A. Thellusson v. Robarts et al, ex parte as to T. R. Thellusson ; Hon. R. Hare v. Robarts et al, ex parte as to certain respondents. These were appeals from decisions of the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly, holding that on a true construc tion of the will of the late Mr. Peter Thellusson, the re spondents were entitled to take his property as the eldest male heir lineal descendant of the late Peter Isaac Thellus son. The majority of the consulted law judges were of the same opinion. Thefr lordships of the House of Lords, Lord Cranworth, Lord St. Leonards, Lord Wensleydale, Lord Brougham (and the Lord Chancellor concurring), who delivered their opinions at length this morning, were unani mously of opinion -Ist. That the eldest male heir lineal descendant of the late Peter Isaac Thellusson was the eldest male heir in primogeniture, and not the eldest of age or blood. 2d. That the person appointed to nominate by the will was the eldest male heir in primogeniture at the time the succession opened, and not the eldest of age or of blood. 3d. That the will was not void from uncertainty, and that the next of kin were excluded. Their lordships tendered the thanks of the house to the consulted judges for the very learned and able opinions given by them to their lordships in these cases. Their lordships unanimously affirmed the decision of the Master of the Rolls, and dismissed the appeals with costs. The Lord Chancellor declined to deliver any formal opi nion, having previously been counsel in the cause, until he heard the unanimous opinion of their lordships, in which he entirely concurrred. SHERIFFS' COURT. REFUSAL TO COMMIT-GREY V. OLDBURY. This was a judgment summons, and the defendant had agreed upon the original order to pay 15s. per week. The first instalment was due on the 9th May last, and the present summons issued on the 10th. Mr. Perry, from Mr. Buchanan's, said that defendant had so many orders 'and judgments against him that he could not comply with the order of the Court in this in stance. His Honour thought it was very sharp practice to take out a summons on the 10th, and refused to commit. PUTTING ON THE SCREW. Mr. Beard made an application that the fees paid for hearing-in rib certain cause should be returned. The parties had settled the matter out of Court and the case was with drawn. Mr. Osgood (the chief clerk) had repeatedly al lowed the fees to be returned, and now refused. _ _ _ His Honour did not think'that this was a case in which he could order the return of the fees. It was putting on the screw to get better terms out of the defendant ; and, after having had the advantage of compelling the defen dant by this means, it was pot right to ask for the fees. Mr. Beard said that it was not so, and the parties had settled the affair a long time since, and directly afterwards he (Mr. Beard) applied to Mr. Osgood for the fees. His Honour saw no reasonable grounds for granting the application. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH STREET. A CONFIRMED THIEF.—FORTUNATE ESCAPE.—Louisa Spencer, alias Walker, a well-known thief, was charged with stealing a silver watch, of the value of £5, from the person of William Martin, a ship steward, at the Spread Eagle, Charles-street, Middlesex Hospital. Mr. Lewis, jun., appeared for the prisoner. William Martin, the prosecutor, who said he was at pre sent staying- at 25, Nassau-street, Middlesex Hospital, stated that on the previous night he was at the Spread Eagle, when the prisoner and another female asked him to treat them, and he did so, and while talking to them he missed his watch from his waistcoat pocket,. which was safe when ho entered the house. The watch produced was the same, and worth about £5. Mr. Lewis said she would plead guilty, and asked Mr. Bingham to dispose of the case. Inspector Pethers, of the E division, said the prisoner was a well-known thief, and there was an officer in court to speak to that feel,. An officer of the court said she had, he believed, been convicted at the sessions. Mr. Lewis again urged the magistrate to deal with the case, but Mr. Bingham refused. _ _ _ Prosecutor said his ship sailed on Wednesday next for Hobart-town. Mr. Bingham said, to do great good he would run a little risk, and at once committed her for six months. PROPER PUNISHMENT-CRUEL TREATMENT OF A HORSE.—James Sheppard, a carman in the employ of Wm. Etteridge, coal merchant, of the Old Kent-road, was charged at the instance of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals with the following cruel treatment of a horse Mr. 'William Love, chief constable of the Royal Society, said that on the 30th of May lie was in Tottenham-court road, when he saw the defendant driving two horses draw ing a heavy van, having an empty cart attached to it. Per ceiving that one of the horses moved about in a very rest less manner, as if in pain, he asked the defendant if there was anything the matter with its back ? He first said there was not ; but on my telling him that I wished to see, and asking him to remove the saddle, he then said, " There is a little sore, governor." He (Mr. Love) then examined the horse and found on its back a large sore covered with a piece of old sacking, which being covered with the saddle pressed into it, caused it intense pain. There waS also another large sore partly healed, it, was lame in one of its feet from disease, and it was altogether quite unfit for use. On calling his attention to it he said it was not then nearly so bad as it had been. He also said he was 'on his way to Camden-town, to fetch two tons of coals to take to the Old Kent-road. Mr. Bingham said he should like to make the defendant raw in the back, and make him draw two tons of coals with a piece of sacking pressing into it. Such treatment was the only way of making such people understand what cruelty was. He should fine the defendant 17s. 6d. and costs, and if he appeared there again he would visit him still more severely for his brutality. .. 3 .. 2 THAMES, THE FORTUNE TELLER'S fORTUNE TOLD.—Elisabeth Woodfield, a cunning old woman, well-known in the dis trict of this court as a fortune-teller, and who was mixed up with the abduction of a girl named Newman, in 18.51, and in a very disreputable manner, was brought before Mr. Yardley charged with stealing a piece of bacon weighing two pounds and a half from the shop of Mr. John Mills, a cheesemonger, of Charles-street, St. George's-in the-East. The prisoner is as savage and vindictive as she is cun ning; and when she was fined Lb, for a brutal assault 13 years ago by the late Mr. Broderip, that gentleman declared her to be one of the, most dangerous and crafty women that he had ever met with. She was in the prac tice of attending this court daily for many years, for the purpose of obtaining people's secrets, in the discus sion of assault cases and breaches of the peace, and then making use of the information thus obtained to extort money. Mr. Ingham, who was formerly a magistrate of this court before he went to Hammersmith, fined her 405., and gave directions that she should be excluded from the court in future, a proceeding for which the public are deeply indebted to the worthy magistrate. Mrs. Woodfield has been lately doing business in a beer shop near the Clerken well Houik of Detention among the friends of prisoners confined Mere. Mr. Walker, a very intelligent officer, the sergeant of the van which conveys the prisoners to and from this and Worship-street, stopped her vile practices and drove her away from Clerkenwell. Thomas Smith, a boy in the ervice of the prosecutor, said that he saw the prisoner take a piece of bacon off his master's shopboard yesterday evening. He followed her and took it from under -her shawl. The prisoner said she did not steal the bacon. The boy picked it up in the road. Mr. Yardley—You aro here again. You are a most dis honest old woman—a very bad woman. Mr. Livingston, chief usher of the court, here produced .0 pack of greasy cards which had been taken from the pri soner. The depositions having been completed by Mr. Bowdler, the second clerk, the prisoner said that she would prefer that the case should go before a jury. She wished to make one remark. The boy said he took the bacon from under her shawl. She wore no shawl last night. She sent for the yellow shawl she was then wearing. A policeman--The prisoner wore a black shawl last night and sent it home. Mr. Yardley—The prisoner is committed for trial. TIIE FELLS ON FIRE.—The other day, a rumour reached Appleby that a fire had broken out on Burton Fell, one of the Crossfell range of mountains, and it was soon as certained that such was really the case. From what can be learned, it appears that the fire was discovered by a farmer who was looking after his stock, but having no idea that it would extend far, he took no steps to extinguish it, al though it is alleged that a canful of water at that time would have been sufficient to put it out. Since then, owing to the extreme dryness of the moss and heather, aided by a strong easterly wind, the fire made consideiable progress, having reached Hilton Fell, and spread over an extent of ground roughly estimated at 1,000 acres. The fire has got a strong hold of the peat moss, amongs t which it smoulders until it reache s th e dry heath, when it bursts into flame and then rapidly spreads. How it is to be e x t in guished, it is remarked, i s a serious puzzle. An attempt is being made, by digging a deep trench, to cut off the communication, but whether this plan will be successful remains to be seen. It will entirely destroy the prospects of the sportsmen for the eason, as the game are nearly all sitting at this time of the year. John Wybergh, Esq., is the owner of Burton Fell, and Hilton Fell is the property of the Earl of Lonsdale.— Cumberland Pa4uet. THE BRITISH INSTITUTION. (PRIVATE VIEW.) A saunter round the three roams of this popular gallery on Saturday afternoon, upon the occasion of the Private View of the 173 works now publicly exhibited upon the walls of the Institution, afforded us, in several instances, more than ordinary satis faction. This particular exhibition, among all others of annual recurrence in the metropolis, has long possessed for ourselves a peculiar fasFination. It is calculated directly year by year to realise the original design with which the British Institution itself was established—that, namely, of promoting the Fine Arts in the United Kingdom. Here, an nually, during the very bloom of the London sea son, are grouped together some of the choicest "works of ancient masters and deceased British artists," selected for temporary exhibition toge -1 I her from various scattered private collections. The Exhibition for 1859, as already observed, num bersl73 pictures,and these pictures have been brought together for this one occasion from no less than 71 different collections. At the head of this long list of 71 contributors appears the name of her most gracious Majesty the Queen. And, as if the key note to the harmony of the whole had been struck by the hand of the Sovereign —that particular painting supplied by the liberality of her Majesty from the Royal collection (No. 97), the noble portrait group of the "Duke and Duchess of Cumberland and Lady Elizabeth Luttrel," by- Gainsborough— marks the one great distinguishing peculiarity of this really, so far, most remarkable exhibition. It is an exhibition, then, let us say it at once, which, while it possesses many notable attractions, as con taining several remarkable specimens of the ancient masters and deceased British artists--possesses, above all, tits one paramount attraction, that it is, perhaps, the noblest accumulation ever yet brought together and exhibited to the public, of the works of one of the most rarely and variously gifted of all our great English painters—Thomas Gainsborough. The exhibition this year in the British Institution, while it illustrates in some degree many of the great schools Of art—comprising even among these remarkable works of art. an oil painting by Michael Angelo Buonarotti, the famous Madonna dell' Im panata of Raphael Sanzio d'Urbino, specimens of Bellini and Perugino, of theCaracci and Domenichino, an exquisite Rubens, two works from the hands of Titian, three by Sebastiano del Piombo, three also by Vandyke (two of them superb specimens of that great master), four paintings by Salvator Rosa and five by Tintoretto—demonstrates above all the glory of the diversified gifts and brilliant genius of Thomas Gainsborough. Out of the aggregate of 173 pictures hung upon the walls of this gallery, as many as forty two are from the pencil of Gains borough. They comprise, these forty-two Gains boroughs, portraits of all sizes and of all characters, renowned and anonymous, kit-cat, full-length, and three-quarters, almost life-size and almost minia ture. They number among them, moreover, one delicious sea view, and a variety of exquisite land scapes. Yonder, well remembered (No. 172) is the " Girl Feeding Pigs"—yonder (No. 93) " The Cot tage Door," renowned through many a popular engraving. Here (in No. 83) is the full-length portraiture by this great master of Mr. and Mrs. Hallett—youthful, comely, blooming, both of them as they passed out into the sun shine from the church porch upon their marriage morning, and as they will saunter down to after times radiant and beautiful with the im mortal youth imparted to them by the Rosicrucian brush of Gainsborough—noble sp..cimens of their race, a true English lady and a true English gen tleman ! Here, in (No. 114), is Gainsborough's Portrait of himself—here, in (No. 132), a sort of a semi -comical, semi-quizzical garden portrait group of himself and Mrs. Gainsborough. And it is in teresting to compare these two limnings of his own features by his own hand with (No. 166) Zoffany's admirable and life-like " Portrait of Gainsborough." Gainsborough ! The whole gallery is his glorifica tion. That one name is the chief and prominent attraction this season to the Exhibition in the British Institution. There, in (No. 125), we n o t e Gainsborough's " Study of a Horse"—there, in (No. 129), his sketch of "Dogs." Here, in (No. 133) are his " Rustics on a Journey"—here, in (No. 131) his " Seashore with Figures"—wind and spray commingling. His green lanes sprinkled with wayfarers—his green meadows dotted with kine— his " Peasant Boy" (No. 157)—his " Cottage Chil dren" (No. 146)—his exquisite portraits and his no less exquisite landscapes, met us on Saturday at every turn. One by one we paused before them and drank in their varied beauty, grateful for the feast thus presented to us in 1859 in the gallery of the British Institution. Conspicuous amonc , the more celebrated portraits from the hand of Gains borough. here for once brought together, are (No. 163) "Georgina, first Countess Spencer," a decided pre-Bloomerite---(No. 149) " Georgians, Duchess of Devonshire," the Duchess of Devonshire, the Beau tiful Duchess of Devonshire, whose mouth of fasci- nation, loveliness, and wit so tantalised the skill of the great portrait-painter, that after painting it again and again, he smeared his brush across it afor the twentieth time, still baffled and unsatisfied— (No. 154) " Miss Gainsborongh"—(No. 173) ditto —(No. 135) " Mrs. Gainsborough"—(No. 152) Miss Linley, afterwards Mrs, Sheridan, and her brother," two charming countenances, tile latter arch and cupidon, the former pensive and piquant, the very face to drive the young wit to the despe ration of that duel at Bath through which he won his beautiful young' wife, and caught up in his imagination the seed-germ of one .of the most bril liant comedies in the language. If we,pause thus musingly, however, over the masterpieces of Gainsborough, we shall leave our selves neither room nor time for reference, however casual to many of the other miscellaneous and some of them most notable attractions in this Exhibition. Neither the Michael Angelo nor the Raphael satisfies us. The former (No. 15) is the " Virgin and Child, with St. John, &c."—an unfinished oil painting, and therefore a great curiosity, from the hand of Buonarotti a work belonging to the Right Hon. H. Labouchere. The Raphael (No. 16) is the Madonna already referred to, the effect or which is incongruously humorous. , Of the two Titians in the gallery, one (No. 21) is called a "Portrait of Raphael"—though it bears but slight resemblance to the half angelic, half voluptuous, wholly beautiful countenance of the world's greatest painter. Of the three Piombos in the collection, one (No. 10), a very small but very precious work of art, contains side by side with the head of Guilio Romano, that wonderful, admirable, life-like, and truly noble head of Michael Angelo Buonarotti. Looking at this head, we can only marvel how it has come topass that it is almost always represented in engravings what it is unquestionably not here, namely, ugly and gro tesque. As represented here by the truthful brush of Piombo, the whole visage wears an aspee.t most noble and commanding. Of the four Salvator Rosas here the most singular and whimsical is that indecent and spiteful allegory of "La Fortuna," for the painting of whick in a moment of pique it is not very surprising to know that he wak expelled from the Eternal City. There is in (No. 27) a " Crucifixion," by Pietro Perugino—and in (No. 87) another " Crucifixion," by Albert Durer. Now we loiter before (No. 26) a pathetic " Ecce Homo," by Ti n t o retto—now before (No. 89) the l ove ly " Mag da lene" of Etty. A noble Etty, one of the noblest in flesh tints and anatomy he has left to attest his great manipulative skill as a painter, is (No. 116) " The Combat—Mercy intercedi ng for the Va nquished." The sight or it again was welcome to us—the last time it met our gaze having been the date of that superb collective exhibitiont together t of the various works of William Etty for one season som e years ago i brought n the u r gh ooms o of e the Society of Arts i n John -street Adelphi. [Why are these collecti ve exhibitions reserved always until after death ? What a charm and interest would there not be in witnessing one, for example, of the works of Maclise—one of Webster—of Stanfield — of Landseer ? The only contemporary exhibition of the kind we remember to have been attempted in this way was one of Mulready—and gladly should we hail the fact of its repetition !] To return, however, to our hurried glance round the three rooms at some of the works of art not yet particularised,though most noticeable in the collec tion. There are two, at any rate, out of the three Vandykes here on view, most worthy of the master hand—(No. 5) the " Madonna and Child, with Angels," one angel playing on the guitar, one on the violin, both with angelic features divinely prayerful, rapturous in the breathings of their in spired psalmody ! The other great Vandyke is (No. 42) a brilliant and charming family group of " Snyders, his Wife and Child." The neighbour. ing room, by the way, presenting to view two colossal paintings from the hand of that gentle looking, thoughtful-visaged Snyders (No. 104) " A Boar Hunt," and (No. 110) "A Stag Hunt," the former especially admirable for its variation. In (No. 105, and No. 108) there are presented to the spectator's amused view by the bold, slashing comical hand of Frank Hal's " Portrait of a Gen tleman," " Portrait of a Lady , " such a lad y ! such a genteman !—she 1 presen ting him with a rose— he ungloving his hand to take it—both the most pert, smirking, good-humoured arrantest of vul garians ! Yonder, hanging high up in the corner there (No. 68), is the portrait—by Sir Godfrey Kneller, of observant, prurient, gossipßing, sly, naughty old Samuel Pepys, the Diarist. Grandly beaming down upon us from another wall is Hilton's majestic representation, in (No. 162), of "The Angel Releasing St. Peter from Prison"—surely about the noblest angelic apparition artist's hand ever depicted . Opposite this depi a very gorgeous and Louis Quatorze-like life-size family group, by Mig nard, of (No. 138) the high, mighty, and puissant prince, his most gracious Majesty King James the Second of England, with his Quebn Mary of Modena, the little lordly Prince Charles, and the dainty little Princess Louisa. There, in (No. 128), is Zoffany's well-known Garrick as Macbeth, w ith Mrs. Pritchard as Lady Macbeth—Garriok, in powdered peruke, old court dress-coat, silk stock ings, and buckled shoes, with a rapier at his thigh, starting conscience-stricken at the horrid thought of murdering Duncan ! A skating scene by Ostade (No. 56), a storm by Vandevelde (No. 62), a dirty old man by Rembrandt (No. 84), some perfectly delicious fruit and flowers close by (No. 85), by Van Os ; that noble portrait group by Rubens, already alluded to incidentally (No. 46) " The Duchess of Buckingham and Family," lure us still to loiter on in the gallery. But we are con strained, however, reluctantly to bring our notice to a conclusion, commending all lovers of art to the British Institution, if o n ly for the sake of those paintings by Gainsborough. LITERATURE. Village Belles a Tale of _English Country _Life. By the author of " Mary Powell." New Edition, revised. Bentley. The lines on the title-page of this book serve most aptly to illustrate its purport. They are as follows : "Familiar matter of to-day; • Some natural SOITOW, joy, or pain, That has been, and may be again." Few readers can be otherwise than charmed with the perusal of this little volume. There is something real about its character, and one feels interested in the fortunes of the inhabitants of the White Cottage. Mrs. Wellford is a delightful portraiture of a true lady, one whom adversity, and the total reverse of fortune, could not entirely depress, but who accommodated herself to circumstances with cheerful resignation. Her daughters are of very different dispositions, but both are attractive. Hannah, the eldest, is a gentle and refined maiden, but Rosina is of the spirited and brilliant style. The story contains many pleasing passages, and the description of Huntly is a very admirable one. He is represented in a very natural manner as a gifted man, totally destitute of prin ciple, but possessed of a power of fascination that 'was dangerously influential. The episode of his engagement' with Hannah Wellford forms an important feature in the narrative, displaying that there was something innately good in Huntly's mind, or he would never have been attracted by such a pure being, while her rejection of him, when she discovered his deficiencies, revealed most un mistakeably her fixed adherence to the lofty stan dard of right. Rosina is a lively sparkling heroine, with nothing calm'or composed about her. She is genuine in her character, however, and displays, on many occasions, much kindness of heart. Altogether Village Belles " is a very desirable and delightful little work. The Net, Monthly Magazine. An account of the "Flight to Varennee is the first thing to meet us in this number. This mourn ful event, one of the most painful in the annals of that:troubied time, is narrated at -length. It is one that is almost irritating to the reader from the mis management and want of precaution which charac terised it. All readers, whether Republican or Royalist, must sympathise with the unfortunate family trying to escape for their lives; the poor, simple-minded, patient king, the undaunted but suffering queen and niother, whose hair went grey from the terrible anxiety of that ill-managed flight. The account here given is clear and interesting, and fuller than is general in histories. After this tragic romance of real life we come to a vivid but painful fiction entitled " The Brothers." It continues the story of Pommeroy Abbey under another name, and tells us how Rupert Pommeroy murders the lord, his brother. It is well written, but the subject altogether is painful and unpleasing. Cardinal Maury is the next on the list of Sir Nathaniel's note-worthies, and an entertaining account of his career is given. "My Friend Pickles " continues his amusing catalogue of grievances. The fifth of " Stereoscopic Glimpses," by W. C. Kent, shows us the mighty master of his toric fiction in his study at Abbotsford, with the shadowy forms to whom he has given immortality clustering round him. We subjoin the following lassage : " Though slight this wand, its flickerings still Above each scroll their witcheries fill— As fast the mystic symbols shower— Recal to light dead shapes of power. Back o'er Burgundian plains are rolled The buried pomps of Charles the Bold I Flames out once more 'neath northern sun The shattered glaive of Marmion I Loud clangs again in dust and blood The stately tournay's iron flood— The warlike storm of plume and spear, That rings with many a blow and cheer I Around the old magician throng With these, the heroines of his song— Whose charms his inmost soul entrance, The glories of his heart's romance ! Sweet Ellen of the sylvan lake, Whose bark a floating heaven would ma e : Fair Catherine, fairest maids above, As maiden of the morn of love : Diana, whose quick-reined reproof Wring's music from her palfrey's h oo f : And e, the hero-robber's joy, Queen-mistress of the bold Rob Roy : Rebecca, poised in virtue's proof O'er batslements of Front de Bceuf And loveliest still, though crazed in blood, Yon widowed bride of Ravenswood ! Strange types of various clime and age— The goblin elf, the pauper sage, The smuggler grim with ruthless scowl, The shaven monk in russet cowl, The turnkey of the squalid jail, The red-dioss knight in tinkling mail No theme so quaint, no dream so fair, But finds its aptest semblance there— There circling as with magic ring Yon grey-haired bard—their Lord and King." A paper on "Arrivals from Paris" treats of some of the new works that are exciting the attention of the Parisian world. " Aunt Francisca," a plea sant tale from the Danish, is brought to a conclu sion. Cyrus Rodding, the veteran contributor to the New Monthly, gives us a paper on " Lady Morgan." There are other articles on subjects of varying interest. TILE LATE CASE OF HOMICIDE AT BIRMINGHAM. Very exaggerated reports of this case have ap peared in the papers. At the inquest, which con cluded on Tuesday night, it was shown that Bugg, who fired the gun, went into the public-house with the deceased on the night of the occurrence, and called for a glass of gin and n glass of ale. They stood by the bar door and were talking together in a friendly manner. Shortly afterwards the bar maid brought the gun down stairs, and placed it against the smoke-room door, while she went to call a man to discharge it. Immediately after wards the report of the gun was heard, and Bugg was seen to let the gun ,fall upon the Paynergeon, floor, whil e P a y ne f e ll bleeding. Bugg, in com- P an an d y re w turn ith a but sil ed an i o n th .a e b r ou m t a fi n, ve w m en in t ut fo es r , was then dead. On his return Bugg appeared greatly excited, and fainted several times. Police-constable 307 having given evidence as to the nature of the admissions made by Bugg, to the effect that he picked up the gun, and on making the remark " How heavy it is," the gun exploded, witnesses were called to show that there appeared the greatest friendship and cordiality between the deceased and Bugg on the night of the fatal occur rence. The Coroner, in summing up, said hehad observed with very great regret that observations h ad been prematurely ma d e before any authorised inquiry could take p minds in regard to th e circumstances lace, which tended to pr e j udice, he feared, many of the inq u i r y. O ne of the points made and plainly suggested was, that some feeling of jealousy, founded or unfounded, had been excited in some way, and imputat ions were made which were calculated to invest the case with a doubtful character. They had, howeveri at considerable length gone into that point , and had found that t o h n es the oli e c l t e a n t i i il o evening of of the Bugg, fatabluoccur rence that of the deceased himself , and all the circumstances there was no foundat ion whatever for a su pposition of this kind, so far as was known to those 'proxi mate and nearest to the parties concerned. Th e • rcumstances of actof was go n ' i 1 g o t at out ut the case would seem to indicate th a t any preconceived i n t e ntion on the part of B ugg would have been a matter of absolute insanity. The demeanour of the parties showed that they vi , • ere perfectly friendly, and the direction of the woun d , as had been explained 0 by the medical gentl emen wh had given their evi dence would tend to show that the act was the re sult of an accident. There was another important circumstance with regard to the hour at wl tich the gun was brou g ht d own to be discharged. On the evening of the occurrence the gun was b Taught down at a much later period than usual, and it was impossible for the pri • soner to have known. th at it had not been brought he entered the house. After a deliberation of an hour, the jury r( :turned a verdict of " H om i c id e b y m i sa d ven t ure , t o George Bugg." The nature of the verdict appeare dt o give great satisfaction. The prisoner was brought before the be rough magistrates yesterday (Wednesday) n torning , hay in6 been remanded from Saturday; And aft er the evidence of several] witnesses had b. en he: I rd, he was discharged. 1
