TII ri ARTS. Mr. DAVVP., whose rrofessionai merit-s very pro perly raised hint h) the rank ot ROYAL AcAnE mtclAN, is now at Si. PeterOturgh, ill high re putation tnri successful practice. He has re• cently sent into this country IA Portrait of Duke MetNINGRN, and another of GoF.The, the cele brated Author, who is now State Ministex at one of the German Courts. These porttaits, which were painted in the progress of his iourney,are sent here to be engraved, the Artist paying the compli mem to his countrymen, ot supposing that the k will he better executed among than on the Continent: Mr. DAws has sliewn how well he can youth anti age. The Pot trait of the Duke represents an elegant fi nd spirited you'd), anti that of Gown] tt, st sage and penetrat ing Counsellor.` ftiey are both worthy of the A , tist, and we hope, in due time, to see them among the ornaments of the Annual Exhiliiiion. It has been of late years the euvorn with some of our Artists, when they have painted it work of unusual 111,igitjtmle, to submit it to public not ice by itself. Mr. WILKIN, a v•iotig Artist of very re spectaihle talents, has adopted this precedent, and is exhibiting a Picture under the patronage of Sir GODF[IEY WEBSTEY, Hart. to viioOl it belongs. The subject is the ntemoratrle BATTLE OF MO. he Artist has displayed considerable in dustry and-research, in order to obtain all the in formation necessary to give historical accuracy to an event so important in the annals of this Genet_ i try. The point of time is the moment after HA- EoLD had been killed. WILLIAM, the Col;qtiet or, artivts at that interesting period, when he tvit-, nes,es the success of his invasion, in the destruc tion of his adversary. The scene is highly im pressive, and strongly operates on the feelings. The struggle appears to be over in the front of the Picture, but several skirmishes are seen in the back -groom!, so as fully to demonstrate that the BATTLE of HASTINGs iY not wholly at an end. It is evident that the Artist has taken gteat pains..to be as exact as possible in presenting the costume of so remote a period, in the dresses and, armour of the Norman and Saxon Warriors. WILLIAM, the Conqueror, is supposed to have been about two - and forty at the time. In our opinion, therefore, he appears somewhat too juvenile in this Work. The. expression of his countenance seems rather to indi cate a degree of pity for the fallen Monarch, titan of ttiomphant exultation; an expression that migtx.t. I naturally be supposed • to arise, as a momentary impulse of refitctiou on the vicissitudes of fortune. As a full historical explanation accompanies the Picture, and as, indeed, - the subject must be fa miliar to the Public in general, we shall not enter into an elaborate description of it, but refer our Headers to the Work itself. The colouring is chaste, the figureS well at - ranged ; there is as ju dicioui a mixture of light and shadow as the time of action would admit ; the whole interests the imagination, and is calcol4tell to confer on the Artist a high rank in the province of Historical Painting. As we have entered upon the subieet of Paint ing, we cannot, Oil this occasion, fur bear to ex press our sincere regret, that the venerable PRE.. SIDENT of the Royal. ACADEMY is in a state that excites much alarm among his friends, lest his present illness should terminate in,a manner that will be a loss to the public as will 'as'io his friends. Though, Ito wcyci, his bodily powets ore in a weak and threatening state, his mental'facul ties, we are assured, ate wholly unimpaired. A Very few of his particular friends are permitted to see bins, but he has the consolation of having two affectionate Sons in' time house with him, who are in constant attendance, and who " With lenient arts extend a father's breath, " Make langour smile, and smooth the tied of death, " Explore the thought, explain the asking eye, " And keep awhile our Parent from the sky?' ALARMING FlRR.—This morning SoOn after six,- an alarming fire Vroke out in the extensive work shop of Messrs. ELLIOT and FRANCIS, uphols terers, in New Bond-street ; from the quantity of wood on the premises, the greatest alarm was entertained for a considerable time for the whole neighbourhood. Engines, however, arriving soon after, and a plewiful supply of water being obtained, we are happy to find the principal da mage is confined to the building in which the fire commenced. The shops in the Haunch of Venison-yard were at one time in a complete blaze ; but this was also fortunately subdued by the activity of the firemen. DREADFUL Rats.—Yesrerday morning, be tween ten and eleven o'clock, a fire broke mit in .the dwelling•house of Mr. Taylor, hatter, in Gar den-row, London-road, St. George's-fields, which before the arrival of engines had enveloped the whole building in flames. The %vimd was rather high, and blew the flames into a court at the back inhabited by poor people, and containing the work-shops of Mr. Taylor and Mr. Butt, chair and rush-mattress-maker, which also took The passage of the court was so narrow that great contusion ensued in bringing out the fond tore of the inmates ; many were seriously hurt, and a great part of the furniture was destroyed.— At length four or five engines arrived, hut some difficulty took place before any water' could be got ; and whilst tire fit emen we re employed in raising the pings, the devouring element .bird com municated to the Bird in Hand public-house next door, and also to the back premises of Mr. Hayes, a grocer. A plentiful supply'of water being at length obtained, the engines were put in requisi tion with the utmost celerity, and by two o'clock the fire was subdued (it was supposed finally), leaving four or five houses completely witted. — No further apprehensions were cute' tallied for the premises, anti the firemen went to dinner ; but about four o'clock the afternoon the flames again burst forth with great fury. However, the men were on the spot, and being ably seconded by the inhabitants and passengers, succeeded in extinguishing the fire totally. The loss was con siderable.—Thursday night a fire broke out in the sugar-house of Mt. Gerkins, Bell-lane, White chapel, which, %jive regret to say, totalli consumed the Louse, butt Without demi; any further damage.

The grand Chinese apartment at the Pavilion is under the tasteful direction of one of the first Italian artists. The walls have a back ground of burnished gold, on which figures are painting. The Marquis of Hertford has purchased the large home on the East side of Manchester House, and it is the intention of his Lordship to get possession of the one at the West end, ssibenever an opportunity offers. Colonel Hughes intends making but few improvements in his late purchase in South Audley-street, until the Summer. The late Duke of Buccleugh made no alteration in the ara besque _ornaments so fully introduced by the Earl of Bute. The new room at Apsley House is intended as a cabinet closet, or study, for the Duke of Wellington. - Burlington House is still unfurnished, except .the suit f'of rooms on the ground floor. It is still undetermined what style of decoration will be introduced. Mr. Watson Taylor also has furnished only the rooms in the ground floor of his new Tesidence in Cavendish-ware. Although 25,0001. have been already expended, a very small portion of the rooms are complete. RELIEF OF THE POOR. The Marquess of Buckingham has sent 100 gui neas to the poor• of Aylesbury. ,The Patish of St. Mart in.itt-the-Fields are dis tialuting TiCkets to the indtistrious Poor to supply thew, according to their families, with coals and bread—tlie coals at 9d. per butitel, and the guar. tern loaf . at. sd. In imitation of the Cily of London, a similar plan is to be instituted in Westminster, for which purpose the SPEAKER of the House of Commons came'yesterday to town. Mr. CorELAND's e - tensive premises being in a huge space of ground, are fitting up for the Ilouseless during the incle ment season. The Churchwardens of St. Margaret's Parish, Westminster, have issued Tickets for their l'oor, which entitles the bearer, having an order from SIM( 1 )14 STRPHENSON, &q. to one bushel of Coals atis. Six hundred families have, through the exer tions of the Committee in Plymouth, been supplied with bread at three farthings per lb., coals at three• pence per peck, And potatoes at 71b. for a penny. lVe are happy to observe, that amidst the univer sal exertions now making on behalf of the poor, liberal . subscription is going on at Cirewester, which already amounts to 4001., to be applied to the employment of those whom the severity of the season has throWn out of work ; and also towards a supply of fuel anti other necessaries, 'phis sub scription being added to the halapce of a former. one, will constitute a fund of 5001. and upwards, applicable to the above laudable purposes. At a Meeting of Noblemen and Gentlemen, held at the Judges' House, in 'Stafford, IVedoesday last, a subscription was entered into, for the re lief of the manufactutix and labouring poor in this county, who arewitsffering distress from want of employment ; and a meetiug of the subscribers: is appointed to be held on the '27th inst., to consi der the best mode of applying it.—(Wolverharnp ton Chronicle.)

" Is there any man so senseless as not to know that Christianity may remain pure and undefiled, the Religion of the Land, and yet there may be, at the same time, in that Lind, much of the wicked ness and the wretchedness of infidelity. - Though we have no fears for Christianity, which is of Goo, are we to havi! none forLChristians, who are but frail and erring men Are the blasphemies of tint to be put down, because forsooth we are told, that it our Relilzion is from God, it stands•iti no net:d of the support of man ; while, at the same time, we Inc beholding the hearts and the . suids of all who join iti•suchblasphemies, polluted, seared, and blasted?.

" During a large portion of a long public life, now closed, I have watched the destructive ten dency of those revolutionary projects, I have matked their unremitted activity, their growing confidence, their extended influence, their last advancing progreas !
