Al ED A LS, - Ma. EDlTon,—Having frequently been gniti fied by the occasional strictm es on the Fine Arts iu }your 'valuable and truly indeperident Journal, I am induced to trouble you with a few obseiva lions on'a branch hitherto neglected in thti'couu try. We may he thought to rival Greece And Route in Aims - and Arts, -yet in Medals we have been greatly inferior ;• but I trust that this inferiority 'has not proceeded from a want of that - descril►- •tion of `talent, but from the little patronage he '. Hstowed on it, as may he evinced from the works of - the ceiebrated TuoliaS SIMoN, in CRoNfw ELL'S thine, and by a-series - of Medals- now publishing, in which I :am happy to find au union of high 'poetic fancy in the allegorical designs, and a mas terly style of execution, peculiarly gratifying to .the feelings of a Briton, by the most glorious achievements of our Navy and Armies being re corded in the most imitable and durable material,. an d handed down to future ages, with the por traits of the heroes who commanded, by which their sons' sons may not only be incited to enatt late the bright example of their ancestors, but contemplate the animated lineoments, nnimpair ed by those ravages of time to which - pictures, and even statues, are subject, and thereby prove a perpetual memorial of the successful valour of the present era. The Historian,.Poet, Sculptor, and Artist, ar•e greatly indebted to the exquisite coins of ancient - Greece and Rome, so many of the rites, 'civil, • military, and religious, are present ed on the reverses, with buildings, deities, sym bols, and portraits, which are absolutely requi site to illustrate the larger but more mutilated remains of those justly admired natiOns, France displays a most numerous and complete medallic series, while in England very few good medals have been struck, and twilling like a series until the present, which is the offering of an indivi dual, with no reward for his patriotic exertions, but the patronage of a liberal public, which I trust he will receive, for the honour of our country. I cannot but express my surprise on looking over the names of the subscribers, to find that, though graced by Royalty, Nobility, SenatorS,' Mer chants, and the Numismatic Collectors, how tew of those are included in the list whose very busts are given in the series; and the Publisher inform ed me, that in no one instance had any number of a Medal which bore a portrait been ordered by the family or friends of the party so distinguished. What this indifference can proceed front I am at a loss to account, unless it be that the series is not yet sufficiently known—as it need only to he seen to excite admiration, and may be placed by the Napoleon series, without suffering by a compari suet arid in the hope that an undertaking, which combines so much genius and executive talent, will eventually be properly appreciated, I ant, Sir, - Your very obedient Servant, PHII.O-GRAPIIIA. We resume our notice of the last Concert given by Mr. and Mrs. (Btamscut) LACY, preViOuS •to their embarkation for Calcutta, on Monday night. The Viscountess HAMPDEN, as we yesterday stated, opened her splendid Mansion, and nearly all the Fashionable World were present, to pay a tribute of respect to talents so eminent, and so long employed in the service of the Public.—M. LACY sang Mozaar's floe Air. Non piu undrai with great spirit, and its a chaste and legitimate manner. His Duets with Mrs. L. were also given . with theedelicacy, precision, and expression which con,titute time peculiar excellence of vocal art.— Mr. and Miss NALDI and Sig,nor 13EGREZ lent their powerful aid. Miss NALDI'S execution is exceedingly brilliant and finished, and her Duet with Signor REGREZ exhibited at once the high natural and scientific endowment of both. There were some very dill:knit instrumental Pieces by Messrs. SPAGNOLETTI, &c. ; and amongst others, a Quartette of BERTH OVEN Was mist admirable.— One of the highest treats during the night was the Rondeau of Mr. KELKBRENNER. He had 'not played in public for many years. His prodigious command of the instrument excited deep atten tion, and was displayed to abundant advantage.— The PRINCE REGENT had signified his intention to be present, and places were reserved for his Royal Highness.—We cannot close till; article without expressing our regret at the cause of their quitting England (Mr. L.'s health), as weil as at the loss the Music of the Country will sustamn. Mrs. L. has not only continued to us the genuine style of singing the Compositions of our old• Masters, but she has blended in her stu dies the purest .and most perfect manner of the Italian School. As a Teacher, her place will not, we had almost said cannot, be soon supplied ; and at this moment such models ai they both afford are more than ever necessary to the support of good taste. The largest Prize drawn yesterday was One Thousand Pounds, No. 3718. It was sold in Shares by HAZARD and Co. the Contractors, who also sold 9,504, a Prize of '2Ol. and entitled to Six►een *indrawn Whole Tickets. The Wheel still contains Three Prizes of 20,0001., Three of 2,0001.. &c. &c, all of which must be drawn Sa turday, the 3d April, being the last and only day.

Mr. BROUGHAM said that he held the Petition of two individuals of the name of Make and Wil liam's, complaining of the . conduct of General Macquarry, Governor of New South Walt's. • He considered it his ditty to present all petitions that were couched in respectful language ; but in this instance he. had made an inquiry into the cha racter of the Petitiooeis, and had'been informed that they were respectable men, and not likely to misstate any tact. With respect to any complaints against the distinguished individual at the heed. of the Colony, he thought the fault ought to be imputed more to the system than the man. The population of New South Wales had now increas ed to 20,000, one-half of which were free settlers, and the annuel increase of births was nearly egaal to the number of •convicts sent over every year. But when Governor Macquarry had gone to that • Colony, the population was almost entirely com posed of convicts, who of course required a very different system of Government. It would therefore be proper to deal leniently by him, if it should he found that he had its any wise overstepped the houti - ds prescribed to his authority. The question would be, how far lie had overstepped those bo l 'ands ? The present petition charged him with having arbitrarily admioistered the law, particularly itt levying taxes to the amount of 24,0001. a-year, without any warrant under his Majesty Commis.. sion. The principal duty which he was chat ged with having laid, was one of 10s. per gallon on the importation of spirits. It was also asserted, that the sum so raised was irregularly applied, and that the accounts were improperly audited.— That besides, the Governor was in the habit of gratying exceptions to his connections and the persons of his household, who were conse quently not affected by the said impost. Ile watt said to have established a turnpike and turnpike duty, for which similar exceptions were also granted. He was also accused of having punished as offences acts which never were so considered by the law of this country. The petitioner Blake complained that, for walking across a piece of ground which the Governor bad enclosed, he, who was a free settler, and two other persons who bad been felons, had been seized, and with out trial, or the examination of witnesses npoit oath, had received twenty-five lashes on their bare backs. I-fe s:att:ll that be bad laid his complaint two years since before the House, and had re newed it last year without effect. The other pe titioner, Williams, was a printer and a free settler, who had removed Irons the Cape to New South Wales, wit!) the consent, he asserted, of Lord Ba thurst. He had been employed by the prin ter of the Government of that Colony, Mr. Howe ; but having signed one of the forieer petitions complaining of the Governor's conduce towards Blake, lie had been discharged in conse quence of a positive order to that effect from Gen. Macquarry to Mr. Howe, to which his having given his signature was the only offence mention ed. His land had consequently been taken away trout him, and the usual allowance had been re fused. Although he (Mr. B.) was disposed to make the greatest allowances, in consideration of the change which bad taken place in the charac ter of the population of .New South Wales, lie thought that every thing showed the necessity of bending the attention of the House towards the Government of that Colony. It was already a considerable., and would soon become one of our must important foreign settlements, and this was the propitious Monlent for adopting a systen► which would prevent things in future from tak ing a wrong course. He contended that the Nev South Settlers bad no other means of ob. taioing redress, when aggrieved, but , hrough aft application to that lic;use, and that the Governor had no right to preveut or punish such an Hpplica• tiom. Ills only motion at present should be, that the petition be brought up.—t'l; reed to. The petition having beets brought tip and read, Mr. MONaY was well Hequainted with General Macquarty, end admitted 'the fairness of the ob set vatioos with wi,ich the Hon. and Learned Gen denten. had prefaced his 'utensil. But if time chat ges contained in the petition were true, Gen. Macquarty must have completely altered his c1.8,- \\;,\
