TUESDAY, NO EDWARD BIRD, ESQ. R. A. We tiid not•know till we saw. the following character of this excellent Artist in the •Bristol Journal of Saturday last, that the world had been deprived of his talents. " The memory of the late Mr. BIRD will be preserved by all who intimately knew him, on ac count of the sincerity of his manners and philan thropy, as well as . generosity ; independently of the admiration his pictorial attainments excited, be was a' good son, -affectionate husband, kind father, liberal master, and loyal citizen ; and no man, while he enjoyed health, was more social or amiable [n- society. The last five or air years of his_ life were .11 continual struggle with disease, latterly producing hypochondriacal affection, till At length medical assistance could only alleviate pain;—for the last -year he could not - averrexercise• his beloved art, and that alone was sufficient to affect him poignantly Naturally he bad a. strong mind, and superior natural parts to conduct him to success in the arts, and long practice in its in terior branches Wad confirmed him in the—mecha nical part of its great powers. Coutrary to most men who possess the comic powers of the pencil, be ever avoided satire in his compositions beyond what was general, and on no consideration would lie allow a licentious idea to appear on his canvass. His success in his profession fully corresponded his 'abilities and virtues ; the Marquess of Stafford, early in his progress, patronized him ; and his first picture Of arty consequence WO, to serve him, placed in his celebrated. ga'llery among the old masters. The Prineesi Charloire of Wales gave him the title-of her painter, on the slightest recommeodation. For the Prince Regert he executed the " Psalm bingers" in a Country Church, and hod a commission for its " Pendant," which he never liven to execute. Lord Bridg water ordered his ". Debarkation of the King. of France," which lie munificently rewarded; and also the " Embatkation," on an equally grand scale. in Bristol, Mr. &nigh employed him to a very considerable extent ;. and Mr. Hilhouse was. early his admirer and liberal paymaster. He seas a Member of the Royal Sussex Lodge of Hospi ,tality, and the superb Freemason's Hall, in 13ridme street, bears upon its ceiling a fine specimen of his taste .and talents, .'The Aeademy elected hits almost without a ppli cat i on ; M r . West entirely , patronized bins ; the Public vie Wed all" Ill's firm- ductions with partiality, and could he but have preserved his health, there is no doubt he might have .left a considerable fortune behi n d him ; which, as the love of money never made any part of his composition,• and he has died in the prime of life, is not likely io be case.--A great deal of his success arose from his good understanding, which enabled him to profit by the observations of others; and although, Rs is natural, he would shrink at severe criticisms at the moment, yet the next day he would own. be had benefited by them; and he went through this ordeal better than most artists of very inferior merit All his Pictures, especially his comic ones, were closely studied from Nature ; he employed mod e l s f or ever y t hi ng , and chose his models with superior judgment;-- having many acquaintances and friends. and be ing rapid with his pencil, few would refuse him a sitting, and his best pictures abound with actual portraits—on such a foundation his canvasses must acquire value with time,forthe basis is hunian!nature. His mode of painting was perfectly singular ; any room was his painting-room, and any Lour the hour of execution. The writer of this has seen him painting by candlelight in oil, during the time his tea was pouring out, and beginning and finish ing a little study before that meal was compleat ed ! He painted his portrait once in 15 minutes, during the time he was making a hasty breakfast; and it was no uncommon thing to see hint begin a large picture without any previous drawing, in two or three parts at once ; vet the scale in his eye was so just that all harmonized in proportion at the termination.—Nobody was more liberal of his sketches, and - for some years he was the - centre of a society assembled to make drawings in the evening before supper, where the greater number of members were amateurs, and the result of their labours went into the scrap-book of the party whose turn it became to hold the Meeting at his own house : on these occasions his contributions were often the most ?likable, and an infitsite number of his designs'are thus scattered about Bristol, among his oldest acquaintance.—Like all men of genius; be possessed a fund of simplicity and faith in other men's professions, and was•pro bably often the dupe of his own good nature and innocence of the world ;—his morals were pure and be did not want for sagacity, but many causes creditable to himself, contributed very often to his being a loser where others would have made great gains. It has been - the follyof some who have passed for his friends to pit him against Mr.Wilkie, a thing he never approved ; always allowing that gentle man's great merits, and knowing well that their systems of execution were entirely dissimilar, he never vaun►ed over him, but enjoyed his compo sitions in common with every good judge of art. He liberally patronized abilities wherever he found them, and took pleasure in bringing forward ta lents in others,—his scholars were always his scholars, and for years he promoted the advances of many who had long ceased to benefit him in a pecuniary way. For himself, his discoveries were all his own ; and if ever any man might be allow ed to be self-taught, it was Bird ; no one ever made so great progress with so little help ; am bition in him supplied every other want. A great deal more might be said in his praise w ou ld t h e limits of your pages allow it, or could th e vo i ce Who in losing him are not of his family b e •h eat d ; only deprived of his support and the friendships he created, but of the most indulgent and tenderly affectionate relation that ever existed.

PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. We copy the following article from The Bir mingham Herald SatoNay last, not because it has paid•THR,SoN the complitnent of taking •an extract from it, but because the Editor is apan o f know n loyalty, who has suffered, for the firm ness of his principles, and because his Journal is uniformly devoted to the support of our best Na tional Interests : " The Meeting of the Reformers in London has _terminated most farcically : but we do not consi der that the evil is yet come to an end, for-al though these miserable actors have lost their power, we conceive that the managers have not given up the wish to create contusion and ruin. It is much to be wished that some law may be passed, strong enough to prevent such daring. Outrages as are daily practised on the liberty of the suhjeet by the daring conduct of the RadicaLs, who, by their meetings under the flimsy pretence of Reform, as completely stop all business as .though the plague were in the country. To bor row the remarks of,a Correspondent of the SUN, " There is no legitimate freedom, except the tree.' door of holding one's person and property in safety. For my part, I think the Engh.o trades man who is obliged to shut up his shop for fear of its being robbed or fired, and his family, perhaps, murdered, by the heroes of a Radical Meeting, is as very a slave as the wretch who closes his shop in Constantinople, for fear of being stripped. by the Grand Turk. Talk not to me of such free dom, while I ant not sure of holding mylife or my goods for half an hour k." Such must be the sentiments of every rational man ; and we sin cerely hope, if the laws are not s•rottg enough to prevent such outrages, that the Parliament, which meets dosing the present month, will enact some that will ensure to the quiet and peaceable man the most valuable of all blessings—tranquillity and security.---There is one part of the Radical Union System which we confess we should like! to see adopted by the loyal part of the com munity, and which self-defence ! makes perfectly justifiable, viz, never to purchase any article, how ever minute or necessary, from those who profess Radical Opinions : this would be fighting them with their own weapons, and, sooner than any other scheme we can think ot, would let them see what contemptible numbers they muster, and that the good sense of the people is decidedly against them. " On Monday last, George Ragg, the proprietor .of a shop, in this town, notorious for the sale of publications tending to the subve rsion of civilised society, was apprehended under a warrant from the Magistrates, for selling " The Republican," work published by Carlile since his trial. The Magistrates agreed to accept bail for his appear ance at the next Actsizes, himself in 1001. and his sureties at 501. each ; but even this moderate bail he was not able to procure, and was consequently conveyed to Warwick on Wednesday. It is the duty of every-person to check the sale DI the blas phemous- and seditious publications, 'which have for too long a period disgraced this town, and we sincerely hope,-as the Magistrates have shown that there are laws for the prevention of the sale of such abominable trash, that there will not be Wanting good and faithful subjeets . .to give such information as may lead to the entire suppression of pamphlets, of so vile a tendency " We are happy to learn that the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, at a nunierons. • Our spirited Correspondent FLINT, Vide Toe Sus of the 4th inst. • • [PRICE SEVENFTNT:E. Meeting held on Taresdsy, unanimously expressed, in the strongest terms, their concern and alarm at (lie dangers to which the more uninformed part of the Community. are exposed, from the daring at• tempts that qare-d,ai.ly made to sh.tke their belief in Divine Revelation, and determined upon the adop. tion of . the most• effectual means for :he cpunter. action of such' mise:devuns exertions.—A cheap Edition pf Bishop Watson's Apology for the Bible has been just printed by dirce ion of the.So6ei for distribution, through its Members, at the very reduced price' of "The Cottnnit.tee.of Gentlemen who have signed the, Loyal .Declaration iu this town, have voted I" sum °l.:money to - purchase :4 quantity of the :above valuable work, for the purpose of distribuiting among the poor in this town and nei:thbourilood." THE LATE DURHAM. COUNTY MEETING; Mr. L!ktußtoti, by his conduct at this Meeting, 'has excited the attention of T. MACKENZIE and - , IlonGsort, both of whoa) have_ addresses! Letters to him, which shew clearly the meats opinion that they entertain of the WHIGS as a PARTY. The following Extracts from Mr. HoDo- SON'S Letter ate deserving of novice ." You say you will pass. over my insinuations Against the Whigs with contempt ; now I did not insinuate any thing against them—l charged them i n dir ec t terms with having done more injury to !tie,constitotipo, than any other party • this can be easily sett fed by that history to which you so triumphantly refer. Did not the Whigs pass the Septennial Act,, by which. all the Electors of the Kingdom have been disfranchised tour i j eap out of every seven sice and the consequences of which have probably given rise to most'of the miseries we at present labour under. Now did the Tories ever do any thing halt so injurious to the ljhertics of tie People as this ? it was impos sible they should, except they had pot an end to Parliatneut altogether. This is neither the time nor the place to give a catalogue of the political sins of the Whigs., from the corrupt adiniuisr.ra tiou of Walpole to the present day ; but I hope I have said enough to ,satisfy every candid mho! that I have not calumniated the IVlsigs. In short, it is their own condi:Cl 'that has lost iltii party the public confidence, *find their present equivocal po licy is as little likely to restore that confidence as it is to bring back the belief in witchcraft. " You have thought proper to take'y accuse the Reformers of an intention to overtwo all that is eminent and virtuous in society ; which accts. sation I defy you to prove, and charitably sup pose it to have at iseo from your igoora u ce of the p ers o ns whom you so . gratoif on , ly vdtiy, p irticu larly as persons of your exalted s - (. - Itioo in 14e, CATItiOt be supposed to have notch intelligeuce of what is going on amongst the lower order of ple beians, and on that account ate gPnesally abon dautly ignorant of what is known to every person but thenistlves. " In short, the Rt•forAuers wish for such a Re form its the House of Commons as will realize the favourite WHIG TOAST, The Sovereignty of the People.' " They wish to be misters over their servants, and to have the power to . turn them out when they betray their interests, 911(1 to 1)e governed by Wisdom anti virtue, and not • be oppressed by. fully, vice, and corOption. They consider them selves as sufficiently enlightened so he entrusted with the exercise of very extensive political privi ieges ; they'see the country becoming more in telligent, and of-course more moral every day, and tkity know that the present rage for Reform not a passion to be turned to the account of any party; but a steady, fixed, moral principle, whien cannot recede, but will continue to animate them till the abuses which give rise to it are swept. away. On its success depends the future hap. piness or misery, liberty or slavery, of our country."
