Public attention is requested to the following Letter addressed by Thomas Schofield, Esq., to the Editor of the " Morning Chroniele":— St it,—As lam sure you will be happy to promulgate any thin,; that will benefit your fellow-creatures, I confidently send you the following statement of an extraordinary cure from a •iole n t attack of that dreadful malady the Gout, which I Shave obtained by mere accident, feeling assured you will give it publicity in your widely-circulated paper. I was attacked with it for the third time on Saturday night, the 31st of 'slay last, and suffered the most dreadful agony till the following Wednesday, when I was, recommended to apply to a Mr. Feaver, woollen warehouseman, Friday-street, Cheapside, for a bottle of Embrocation for the Gout,--a remedy discovered by Lis father, and by whieli, I was told, he had curet! himself. At that moment, my sufferings would have induced me to apply anything ; I therefore obtained a bottle of this Embrocation, for which I paid 6s. 6d., and applied it immediately ; and to my delight and astonishment, in one hour the intense pain ceased, in two days I could walk, and at the end of one week the gout had entirely left me. I have no ciembt but for this remedy I should have had at least six weeks of suffering, as 1 had in former attacks. I am induced to take this step solely for the benefit of the thousands who are victims to this distressing disease (and for avhich, until now, it has been said there was no cure) that they may know where to obtain the same relief. Of Mr. Fearer, the proprietor, I know nothing, having seen him but once, when I called to thank him for the benefit ho had been the means of conferring on me ; and finding he had never made this invaluable discovery publicly known, I resolved at once to make known my cure to you, and I trust through you to my fellow-sufferers. It is much to be regretted that Mr. Feaver does not imme diately publish it. It cannot fail to prove beneficial in a large degree to himself, while at the same time it would be con ferring a great blessing on thousands of our suffering brethren. However, I feel myself bound to give publicity to my own case in every possible way ; and I consider, by inserting this in your columns, you will be doing a much greater good than usually results from whole pages of matter contained in some of our daily journals. I remain, Sir, &c. THOMAS 52, L ower Th ames -street, and 12, Marlbo S rou CgHhOFIELD, - place, Old Kent-road, July 6, 1840.

THE ROYAL POLYTECHNIC ShiIIi INSTITUTION, REGENT-STREET. THE CHANCELLOR'S BUDGET. MOST IMPORTANT REFORMS IN THE SU GAR AND TIMBER DUTIES, AND THE CORN-LAWS. On Friday evening, the Chan&llor of the Exchequer and Lord John Russell announced to the House of Commons the intention of Government to commence a series of most important reform's in the commercial sys tem of the country. The changes proposed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer are a reduction in the pro. tecting duties on Baltic timber, and a much bolder and more important reduction in the protecting duties on foreign sugar, On the former article, the reduction is only Gs. a load, but on the latter it amounts to nearly 30s. a cwt. The most important announcement, how ever, of all, was that made by Lord John Russell, who gave notice, that on Monday the 31st of May, he should move for - a Committee of the whole House, to take into consideration the Acts relating to the trade in corn! It is scarcely possible to describe the the sensa tion whleh the announcement of these reforms produced on the House, and we can say from personal observa tion, that the sensation produced on the Liverpool Ex change, was scarcely less extraordinary. Amongst the friends of Ministers, the feeling is one of universal delight, that they have commenced a course of reforms most ur gently required by the wants of the country and in which, whether they succeed or fail, they must cover them selves with honour ; and even amongst those who differ most from Ministers on general questions, especially those who are connected with the American and Brazi lian trades, the feeling of satisfaction is scarcely less decided. By all, or nearly all classes, these proposals are regarded as the commencement of a new commer cial system, which, if followed out to its proper results, will enable the cosogry to bear its burdens, heavy as they are, without diilculty, and will raise the trade and commerce of England to a point of greatness unexam pled in ancient or modern times. By grappling with the strongest of all the monopolies, namely, those of corn, sugar, and timber, Ministers have struck at the very root of the evil, and have prepared the way for a complete change in the whole commercial system of the country. In the midst of the unexampled depres sion which pervades trade and commerce in every one of its branches, these bold reforms will revive confi dence, and excite the hope of better days. They have not come a moment too soon, for never within our re collection has the trade of Liverpool and the manufac turing districts been so profoundly depressed as during the last fortnight. 'this year, even the arrival of spring, which generally brings a revival of trade, has only been followed by a deeper gloom than that which prevailed amidst the winter. There are those who fear that the great change pro posed by Ministers in the Sugar duties will never be carried through Parliament. We entertain no such fears. It is perfectly clear, from the Chancellor of the Exchequer's statement, that the nation's engagements cannot be discharged, and the nation's establishments cannot be supported, without an additional income of nearly two millions sterling. There are only two ways in which this sum can be raised. The one is by im posing.additional taxes on the whole British people, who are already ground to the earth by taxation—the other is by giving a fresh spring and impetus to trade, by relaxing the protecting duties, and thus at once in creasing the income of the country and adding to the comforts of the whole people. The merits of the whole change may be stated in a sentence. It will add nearly a million sterling to the revenue of the country, and will reduce the price of sugar to every family in the British dominions. That such a plan as this can ulti mately be defeated, we never can believe, and we feel al most equally confident that it cannot be delayed. There must be an additional revenue raised to meet the expendi ture of the country, and those whq will not allow it to be raised in this manner, will themselves have to raise it by imposing additional taxes on the country. That Sir R. Peel will attempt to turn Ministers out and bring himself in by assuming so odious a position as that he would occupy if he succeeded in-defeating this measure, and afterwards had to propose a heavy tax in its place, is what we have too much confidence in his sagacity to believe, without some decisive proof. We are happy to see that we were right in our conjecture that the East India Rum Bill and the. West India Provision Bill were mere preparatives. By those measures the mother country freed the East and West India colonies from the monopolies which formerly existed for her be nefit, and she surely has now a right to ask that the protections established for their benefit shall at least be mitigated. In this matter Ministers have wisely began at the beginning, and we trust they will never relax their efforts to emancipate the industry of the country, until those efforts have been attended with complete success. This one alteration in the sugar duties, while it will relieve the revenue, and the whole people of England by its direct operation, will also save the Bra zilian trade, which is at the present moment of the an nual value of many millions sterling, and which, if it had not been for this measure, would, at the termina tion of the present treaty of commerce, which is just expiring, have been destroyed by the imposition of reta liatory duties on British goods. Great, however, as will be the benefits resulting from the reduction of a protecting duty on foreign sugar, they will be nothing in comparison with those which will result from the establishment of the trade in corn on sound principles. What Lord John Russell intends to propose in the name of the Government is at present uncertain, but from what is known of his own opinions, and those of several of his colleagues, especially of those of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, it is believed that the fixed duty which he means to propose will be a moderate one. Every friend of the Government will rejoice if Ministers should make such a proposal, and, we trust, that even those who wish for a more extensive change will have the good sense to support a plan incomparably superior to anything that has been proposed by any former Minister of the Crown. The plan of the Government being a mode rate fixed duty. we cannot entertain the least doubt as to its ultimate success ; although we aro not sure that it will be carried in the present Session. But even this is less certain than the supporters of the Corn-laws will be disposed to think ; for, whoever may be the Minister, the pre sent system must be abandoned, and Sir Robert Peel, who is already vehemently suspected by the country gentlemen of a secret hostility to it, will feel great he sitation in committing himself into direct opposition to a plan very similar to that which he will himself be compelled to adopt, if lie should succeed in throwing out Ministers on this question. One thing, at all events, is quite sure, namely, that Ministers, by proposing a reasonable plan of settling this most important question, will do their duty, and place themselves in a proper po sition before the country ; for although we do not alto gether agree with Lord Sandon in considering that no plan of Corn-law reform, not proposed by the Govern ment of the country, can be deserving of support, yet we do quite agree with his Lordship that such a plan ought to originate in that quarter, to give it any chance of success,—Liverpool Times.

In the year 1810 the total net income of the country was 47,567,566/., of which was derived from the First Class (Customs and Excise) £35,536,469 Second Class ( Stamps 7,168,625 Third Class (Assessed Taxes) 3,940,444 By which it appears that the portion of the public in come dependent on the consumptive ability of the whole community, and particularly the working classes, as pre ponderating so much in numbers, is about three-fourths of the whole ; while the second class, which has rather a mixed character, constitutes not quite one•seventh of the whole ; and while the third class, a tax attaching to property only, constitutes rather less than one twelfth part of the whole ; and if we put the two last classes together, they yield less than ote-fourth of the whole income. It may be useful to put in comparison with the distri bution of our taxes that of the only other country i n t h e world the income of which assimilates at all to that of this country—France. In the year 1840 the net in come was 1,184,523,365 f., or 47 ,380,932/., of which was derived from Customs and Excise ......... 398,915,000 f., or about of the whole Stamps and Assessed Taxes 617,915,000 f., or more than of the whole The comparison will stand between this country and France, on the whole income of each country, thus : England.

In hemp, hemp codilla, and flax cedilla, no transactions of any consequence have passed for some time back, owing to the scarcity of some, and want of demand for others, of these articles. The last advices from Riga are of the 3-15th instant, when flax and hemp were in demand, and the prices fully supported. Flax cedilla readily fetched 15 Spanish reels per As., owing to its scarcity, which is much out of proportion to the rates paying for flax this season. Hemp codilla was offered out at 44 reels', with no buyers thereat. Unless somethirg unforeseen occur to depress the home trade, it is generally believed that the present prices of flax will be maintained abroad during the summer, be , Ause of the superior quality of the new crop, which cannot be appreciated until the arrival of the spring vessels with the first supplies. --Dundee Courier ( I t —7l • • k • "' 0 ( . •0. r *l t s . • 4LJA‘ e , &kstiiir ., ; B * 11 .!* 5----s‘ "0 • • - •i* , 4)%lPl i jkiW . • v r o ki V fr o .); , " 4 / 4 1 4,;- 7 , - Dit•Ar *'' ., '#?t'efif , ••• 4 - 5 ,4' ' • • J 1 .I ‘` ' of; Orr A 41111 , J , PRICE sd. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. THE HIPPODROME RACES. STEWARM —The Duke of Beaufort anal Hon. Capt. Bons. The Metropolitan Racing Season commenced yesterday at the Hippodrome, with a success which, if not so entire as could have been wished, proved that the spirit and liberality of the proprietor hi completing a'm establish ment combining all the characteristics of a legitimate meeting of the highest cyder, bare not been thrown away. The assemblage embi aced nearly all the patrons of the turf now in town, and a very respectable show of car riage company and horsemen. The doubtful appearance of the sky, however, evidently had an efftet on the attendance of fashionables, and the increase in the scale of charges for admission prevented anything like a crowd of either horsemen or pedestrians. The weasher agreeably disappointed the forebodings engendered by the heavy rain which fell on Monday and during the night, and which, while it laid the dust in the road for the visitors, made the ground so deep and sticky on the course, that the horses sank up to their fetlocks in many parts, and were unable to go any thing like a racing pace ; the " good-un's through dirt' had all the best of h. In the Steward's Stand, we ob. served the Marquis of Titchfleld, Lords Albemarle, A. Fitzclarence, Worsley, and Maidstone ; Baron do Tessier ; Sirs F. Collier, B. Hall, and C. Cockerell ; Honourables H. Rous, G. Anson, G. Byng, 11. !Wellesley ; Colonel Peel ; Messrs. Gardner, Houldsworth, Hawker, W. Ley, Greville, Payne, Etwall, De Winton, P. Williams, &c. The arrangements tar keeping the course, weighing, sad dling, starting, &c. were judicious and satisfactory, proving that the public may rely on the same observance here as at meetings of longer existence, and that they will not be exposed to the trifling, annoying delays and disarrange ments which have been the base of so many places within the home circuit. The strict punctuality with which the time of starting was observed is deserving of especial praise, the more so that it is a virtue which has not been sufficiently estimated at Epsom and Ascot. Some parties interested in those meetings were on the ground, and as they have at all times shown a disposition to con sult the public convenience, we have no doubt that so com mendable an example will not be lost upon them. Having mentioned in our paper of yesterday that a stand has been erected for the betting fraternity, refreshments, &c., we need only add that it was full to overflowing, and that had it been double the size the proprietor would have bad no reason to complain. We understand that it is in contemplation to build a Grand Stand, on a scale commensurate to the importance of the meeting, and the patronage bestowed upon it. The racing commenced precisely at three o'clock with— The Bayswater Free Plate of 501. for 3 yrs old 7st, 4 yrs Bst 91b, 5 yrs and upwards 9st ; mares, &e., allowed 31bs. Mile heats. Mr. J.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the r esu lt of very extended experie nce i n a c l ass of diseases and affec tions, which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apath', and almost in difference, by the oi dinary practitioner. 1 e enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physieal, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, MAY 4. -- V. MARAVOOD. This was an action for damages laid at 20,0(X:11. to try a right to property in Cornish mines, claimed by inheritance from Sir John Dc la Zouche, who died in the reign of Queen Elizabeth. The particulars have appeared more than once in Common Pleas' Reports of The Sun. The case was tried here last year before the Lord Chief Justice, and a verdict was taken for the defendant, subject to a new trial on points re served. The Solicitor-General since obtained a rule nisi for a new trial, the argument on which will come on next term. Mr. HILL having obtained this term a rule to show cause why the plaintiff should not furnish copies of a certain docu ment, necessa•y to enable the defendant to oppose the rule for a new trial. The SOLICITOR - GENERAL now showed cause against the rule, contending that as the document called for was acces sible to the defendant as well as to the other side, inasmuch as it had been produced at the inquest on the death of Sir John de la Zouche, and it was to be found in the record of that in quisition. Mr. HILL replied, and after a warm discussion the rule was discharged. ADMIRALTY COURT-1114r 4. THE 'WESTMORELAND-JUDGMENT. The Couur—The question which I have to decide in this case is, whether the mariners who have commenced this suit are entitled to their wages. A summary petition and an alle gation have been given in, and witnesses have been examined. Both parties agree as to the principal facts of the case, though the inference they draw from them are very different. The vessel left England in 1839, and the articles described the voy age as" a voyage from the port of departure to the Swan River, thence to any part in the Indian or China Sea, and back to a port of discharge in Great Britain, or at any rate on the Conti nent of Europe, and the voyage under any circumstances was not to exceed three years." She - proceeded to Swan River, and dis charged the cargo. The mariners were hired in 1840, the vessel then went to an island in the China Seas, and, having sailed in June on her homeward voyage, reached Cowes on the 28th of August. The master then hired a pilot to take the ship to Holland, where her cargo was to be discharged. The sailors, who now claim their wages, thought that under the 'articles they were not bound to go, to Holland, and they a ccor di ng l y wrote to Mr. Day for his advice, to whom they went on the following morning. While in, or near his office, they were arrested and taken before the Magistrates, and on their refusal to return to the ship they were sent to prison for thirty days, with hard labour. This is a bare outline of the facts, but it will be sufficient to enable me` to state the questions at issue. The fist is, whether the mariners were bound by the articles to proceed from Cowes to Holland? If they were not bound to do so, there can be, of course, no forfeiture of wages ; but assuming the owners to be right, and that the mariners were bound to proceed to the Continent, the Gourt will then have to consider and decide whether these facts amount to a desertion. After commenting on the case at considerable length, the Learned Judge concluded by observing, " On both points, I pronounce in favour of the mariners—and of course with costs, and I cannot but express my regret that, after these persons had been innocently—on the part of the Magistrates and of the owners—but still had actually been imprisoned for thirty days, it should have been deemed necessary to carry the controversy into this Court, and to have endeavoured to prevent them from receiving their wages." COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, MAY 4. N THE BANKRUPTCY OF iYRIGHT AND CO., BANKERS, IIENRIETTA-STREET, COVENT-GARDEN. This being the day appointed for an audit and dividend on thejoint estates of the a different partners in this concern the Court was crowded. Mr. France appeared to claim for a sum of 3,6001., which remained over after an improper sale of stork by Mr. John Wright to the amount of 61,0001., and also prayed that the dividend upon that amount might be reserved. All and every stock standing in the name of the bankrupts must be taken to he in their " order and disposition," and all the entries in the bankrupts' books would be found to be, "Messrs. Wright and Co., in trust," for, &c. _ _ Mr. Commissioner HoLaorn—The parties making claims should not be prejudiced, but . the disposition in this case is not right, for it says, " by one or all," without absolutely fixing the debt upon any body. Mr. France said that his client could not have made a safe affidavit in any other terms, for it could not be said that John Wright made all these sales of stock with the knowledge of the other partners. Mr. Hamilton would not object to the claim being entered, bttt the great object of the assignees was to make a good and hm nediatv dividend. The present claim, however, would be liable to a very considerable reduction. The assignees were satisfied that the stocks sold out were the property of the dif fers it parties in whose names they weie entered in the bankers' boo :3 $ and it was not at present. the intention to carry the question into any other Court. Mr. Bagshawe, barrister: appeared upon the part of Mr. Thomas Wright, to claim a right to prove for the value of annuities of 1,200/. a-year agreed to nave been given to him by Messrs. Wright and Co., in consideration of his relinquish ing all right and title to certain shares in the bank, which were settled upon him by his father. Mr. Hamilton objected to the admission of the proofs, as Mr. Thomas Wright had released the bank from every claim, and the 4001. a year whieb was allowed him by Mr. John Wright was gratuitously allowed. After some conversation, The claims were then ordered to be entered on the proceed ings, but without any reservation of the dividend for this day. Mr. J. Ball, the Accountant, then handed in the balance sheet, to the truth of which the bankrupt was sworn, and was then declared to have pac=ed his final examination. The debts proved in the course of the day amounted tog con siderable sum, and the " claims " were very large, particularly those upon the stock account presented by Mr. Withiam, of Gray's Inn-square, for upwards of 23,000/. The assets already collected are about 170,0001., and the dividend to be now declared is stated at five shillings in the pound.

Not only was his portrait to be seer in every shop-window, but busts and figures of him were to be found on every draw ing -room chimney-piece, to the exclusion, fur a time, of china vases and nodding mandarins. The Queen, too ready to fall into the error of following, instead of lead ing, the fashion, purchased a quantity of these busts todistri bute among the courtiers, which created a considerable sensa tion in the palace, They were regarded as ins'gnia of knighthood.

THE GRAMMAR OF THE ENGLISH LAN GUAGE TRULY MADE EASY AND 4111iTSING, BY THE INVENTION OF THREE HUNDRED MOVEABLE PARTS OF SPEECH. Br GEononlilunm. London, Cleave. This is an attempt to make the intricacies of grammar intelligible to the eye, and a successful attempt. Why the art of learning to use our mother tongue correctly, or of learning the cor rect use of any other language, should be gene rally repulsive, is more referable, we believe, to the manner of teaching it than the art itself. Were our mother tongue alone to be considered, and an explanation given of the several classes of words and of their adaptation to one another, without any reference to any other language or thing, as is done by this writer, there can be no doubt that it might easily be learnt, and be plea sant in the acquisition. Unfortunately, however, that is not the way that grammar is taught, nor the way in which the art was formed. But some very learned persons imported hither the rules and the terms employed by some other people, and to the utmost of their ability endeavoured to drill our language after that particular fashion, making youth learn terms and apply rules that in reality belong not to it. Mr. Mudie, without perhaps going to the root of the evil, points out in his preface a great variety of faults committed by the writers of school grammars, which he avoids, and presents the sub ject to his readers in its simplest form. His practical and visible grammar consists of a col lection of moveable words, by which he illus trates the use and employment of every part of speech. We do not object to making science and art easy and pleasant, for we have never com prehended the wisdom of compelling every rising generation to learn the faults and the errors of their predecessors, as well as the con clusions in which those faults and errors ulti mately terminated, and ought then to have been rejected. Neither science nor art is valuable for its difficulties, but for its results, and who ever and whatever enables us to attain these with the greatest ease and pleasure is, pro tanto, a public benefactor. On this ground, we think Mr. Mudie has done a public service, which will be peculiarly acceptable to the young, and we cordially recommend his little book to their at tention, and to the patronage of parents and teachers. FINE A RTS. The Annual Exhibition (the Seventy-third) of the Royal Academy was yesterday opened to the public for the season. It is, on the whole, an average one—neither better nor worse than those which - have preceded it for the last four or five years, comprising several clever pictures, but scarcely one—if we except Sir William Newton's exquisite miniature painting entitled the " Ho mage"—of first-rate merit, whether in design or execution. We miss Landseer among the contri butors, and regret to learn that the cause of his absence is ill health; Sir David Wilkie, however, has contributed a few pictures; and so also have Stanfield, Roberts, Maclise, Lee, Chalon, and Turner ; but not one of these able artists—not even Wilkie himself—can reconcile us to the loss of Landseer, who has been the great magnet of the more recent exhibitions. The paintings are upwards of twelve hundred in number ; and of course many mediocre ones are to be found among them, some of which we are sorry to see occupying far too conspicuous a station on the walls, while others of superior merit are hung at such a height that it is scarcely possible to exa mine them with attention. We had hoped that this system of favouritism was at an end, but we find that it is nearly as active as ever. But to our notice. No. 9 is by Stanfield. It is entitled " Castello D'lschia from the Mole," and exhibits much of this fine sea-painter's usual force and truth of effect. The water is disturbed by a half-spent gale, and dashes wildly against the eminence on which the castle is built, while its towering front and solid battlements wear an aspect of calm, majestic strength. The fore ground is vividly and beautifully coloured, and affords a fine relief to the other portions of the picture. No. 10, "Portrait of William Harrison Ainsworth," is a flattering likeness of the author of "Jack Sheppard." It is not in Pickersgill's happiest manner. No. 38, "Going to the Fair," is one of Chalon's lively, animated sketches. The scene is full of bustle, and exhibits some dextrous foreshortening. No. 45, " Midsummer Nights' Dream," by Howard, is not without merit, but, as a whole, the effect is stiff. The attitude of the sea-maid, in particular, wants ease and freedom. No. 33, " The Irish Girl," shows more skill of composition and colouring than appears in some of the artist's (Maclise) more ambitious productions. No. 116, " Portrait of Sir Peter Laurie." The original of this likeness has great reason to be pleased with Wilkie for the vigour and expression that he has thrown into it. No. 68 is a spirited portrait of his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, by Sir Martin Archer Shee, who has not often acquitted himself with more success. No. 223, " Portico of the Temple of Dendera, in Upper Egypt," is one of those carefully-painted oriental scenes for which Roberts is so deservedly celebrated. No thing can surpass the subdued vigour and harmo nious beauty of the colouring. There are no gaudy, meretricious effects of light and shade the whole is toned down with exquisite good taste. It is one of those few stirring pictures, which, the longer it is beheld, the more it will be admired. Indeed, it strikes the spectator more on a second, than on a first survey. No. 242, " Poor-law Guardians—Board day—appli cation for Bread," is a taking theme, nearly, if not quite, spoilt, from a want of earnest and de cided character. No. 249, "An Equestrian Por trait of Miss Hoare," by Cooper, is chiefly re markable for the vigour and truthful manner in which the horse is painted. The co louring here is almost worthy of Landseer. No. 253, " Coast of Dover," is a promising pro duction, from the pencil of an artist named Tan neur. The water has that perfectly liquid and elastic character which Vandevelde knew so well how to throw into his sea-pieces. No. 277, "De positing of John Bellini s three Pictures in La Chiesa Redentore, Venice," is one of Turner's freakish productions. It consists of but three colours, blue, yellow, and green, which are com pounded —or rather, are contrasted—in the oddest and most fantastic manner possible. No. 287, " Sir Roger De Coverley's Courtship," is by Redgrave, who has missed Addison's notion of the old country Baronet, who certainly never intended him to look like a ninny, while making love. The arch, half-averted countenance of his mistress is skilfully painted. No. 300, " High land Scenery," co nv i nces us t h at Lee (the artist) is not so much at home in pourtraying the wild, misty, mountain scenes of the North, as the tamer and more sylvan landscapes of England. There is a want of truth in the colouring of the picture. N o . 312, " H unt t h e Slipper atNeimh hour Flambo - rough's" is deficient in chaste ness and simplicity. The lights are all too staring, as if the artist's chief object was to surprise and startle the spectator. Mr. Maclise deals too much in exaggeration in the majority of his pictures, and is far too fbnd of glaring contrasts in his colouring. No. 428, " Celestial City and River of Bliss," partakes in a high de gree of Martin's usual mannerisms. No. 429, "Mary Queen of Scots, and her Retinue re turning from the Chase to the Castle of Stirling," contains one admirably drawn figure, namely, that of the famous Regent Murray, who is riding beside his Royal sister, and fully realizes our notion of the man, as we find him drawn by Robertson. No. 466, "The Sculptor's Triumph," is a showy, fanciful picture by Danby. N o. 492, "Party at Ranton Abbey," is one of Grant's clever sporting sketches. The portrait of Lord Melbourne is capital. No. 539, "The Trial of Effie Deans," contains some striking effects of light and shade. In the Sculpture Room—a mere cup-board, by the bye—the best statue is that of " Eve listening to the Voice," which is replete with grace and beauty of expression, and harmonious symmetry of figure. Bailey is the sculptor of this fine work of art. RAISING OF RENTS---..We regret to find that the present Duke of Marlborough, immediately upon suc ceeding to the Dukedom, gave notice to the tenants of his extensive cs t a tes to quit, and this for the purpose of raising their rente. These rents have a;nce been put at a most extravagant sum, and they have no other alternative than quietly to submit to them, or to sacrifice a considerable _ portion of their property by " going out" and " selling I F ROM A r i ORRESI'ONDENT. —The bud get , &c, o ff . . , One of the most respect a bl e f armers that astend:our has created a sensation in this n ei g hbourhood ( Ashton ... market has received the intelligence that he must i n f u t ure and Dukinfield), the like to wh ich has not been s i nce the F ay 1,700/. a year for th e f arm, f or w hi c h he has hitherto firstmi Ministers i s Reform ters str en ßill. g t h Gazette Dukinfield, &c., will begin on tAollcalrieryre their Slrhi p g ian sa s nd Tories, w i s h paid 1,300. only , or quit, a rise of 400L—D ev i zes out.
