EDWARD PRICE and CO., Patentees and Sole Manufacturers of the COMPOSITE CANDLES, respectfully call the attention of the Public to the fact, that, although the price of these is somewhat higher than that of ordinary mould Candles, they are in reality much cheaper than these latter; one real Composite Candle giving about the same quantity of light as three of the moulds. They require no snuffing, and burn snore brilliantly than the best wax. The purposes of economy and luxury are therefore both served at the same time by the use of these Candles. Parties intending to try them for the first time, are earnestly requested to take care that they are served in the shops with " PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES:" the reason for this caution is given elsewhere.

Sir Robert Peel, or his Irish purveyors of judge-made law, thought they did know how to do this. Ac cordingly, they stuffed out a monster indictment, by way of being commensurate with its object. They seem to have thought that, if it were but big enough, it could not fail to overlay the whole bulk of Irish discontent. They made a mistake ; a single bullet, well aimed, may prostrate the king of beasts ; but the most capacious net that can be thrown round him may be gnawed in pieces by well-filed teeth. Plain coercion might have obtained over O'Connell the only sort of victory that can well be obtained over a man who is the organ of multitudinous aspirations and antipathies. Butlawyer craft, when it knots its meshes with such exceeding complexity and subtlety, lays itself open, at every part of its texture of technicalities, to the operation of pre cisely the same faculty in undoing the whole of its work. The party exasperated by the Lords' recent reversal of judgment make a mighty point of assert ing that reversal to have turned on mere technical points. Why, what did the judgment turn upon? If it was lawful to lavish technical constructions, for the purpose of accumulating a series of acts not singly criminal into crime, surely the same skill may equally be employed in unravelling the process. Nothing, in deed, can render legal refinements endurable, but their impartial application. If the whole penetrating in genuity of the legal profession were devoted to rearing the fabric of constructive crimes at the bidding of a Government, and if no independent minds of legal training were exerted in the opposite direction, the Cusack Smith race would be even more useless tools of power than in this case they have proved. Men might not be able to unravel the web of legal sophistry, but they would burst through it. It is only the con fidence that the rules of fence are available for both sides, that makes them respected on either. There is something absolutely ludicrous in the clamour ofover refinement against the law Lords, considering all the refinements relied on to eke out the case on trial. It is a maxim with architects to make the principal parts of their structure stronger than strong enough. It is a practice also of Parliamentary logicians to rely on a dozen bad arguments, rather than trust to a single good one. The conductors of the case against O'Con nell seem to have proceeded upon some such analogy. ' They wanted to swell the slippery frog of repeal meet ings to the stalled ox of conspiracy. They caught the subject of their experiment, and inflated it at their leisure. We see the result; instead of keeping their ox impounded, they have burst even their frog. The party in power received Ireland with nothing more than her chronic complaints. They were greeted, in the autumn of 1841, with the same Repeal cry, with which they had been greeted in the autumn of 1830. There was nothing new in the case ; and they had full time to study its symptoms. Indeed their first demonstrations appeared aimed at eclipsing the Whigs in laissez faire magnanimity. Sir Robert Peel has since made a merit of having begun by reducing the amount of force which the late Government had stationed in Ireland. Like Lord Ellenborough in India, though not with the open-mouthed absurdity of that delegate of his, he meant to demonstrate his peculiar mission for paci fying all that his predecessors had studiously been charged with disturbing. And like Lord Ellenbo rough's, his peace-making mission has ended its courses considerably different. The country has had to pay for setting Sir Robert Peel up in a new character. He was resolved to have matter to twit the Whigs with, in the administration of Ireland as of other things. If they had kept so many troops in Ireland, he was re solved to keep so many less; and ended as might have been expected, in bristling at all points with horse, foot, and artillery. If they had once on a time passed Coercion Acts, he was resolved to " ask no ex traordinary power, though at a period of admitted danger, appealing to the law alone for a remedy to the evils with which we had to contend." Appeals to the law ngainst individuals can only be success ful in a country where those individuals are in a minority in their sentiments and their conduct. To convict some half-dozen men of- conspiracy, for dis plays dangerous by their immense publicity, was a sort of practical Irish bull, however the lawyers might cook up the case. If the repeated and avowedly systematic array of numbers was dangerous, then Sir R. Peel was a fellow conspirator with O'Connell in bringing that danger to a head. Sir Robert had his new character to support, as a Liberal Minister; O'Connell his old one, as a Catholic and popular agitator. It was necessary to each to " play out the play." Then why was only one brought to answer for it? Sir Robert Peel had the public force at command at first, as he had at last. Why did he not stop the first meeting ? Or the next ?—Or the next ? Or, if it was only the lazt . one or two that threatened the public peace (and it appears to us ne cessary to Sir Robert Peel's exculpation to assume that this was so), why then the elaborate accumulation of charges deduced from the whole series ? All was equally public throughout. Either the procedure de served the reversal it has received—as swelled out with overcharges—or else Sir Robert Peel conspired with Mr. O'Connell, end abetted the progress of a public danger, for his own purposes—as Mr. O'Con nell for his. STANDARD.—But for the dearth of other topics of interest, we should feel some reluctance to prolong a discussion like dot which the result of the monstre proces has forced upon us ; but the impudent asser tion of the arch-conspirator and his friends, that the decision of the three law Lords in his favour was " not founded on technicalities " (we quote the lan guage of Mr. O'Connell's late speech), for that his " success had been achieved upon the merits," leaves us no alternative. The Morning Chronicle repeats this audacious falsehood, but with some slight modification ; averring that the verdict which the jury originally proposed to return " con tained no finding upon any valid imputation in respect to the multitudinous meetings, although it was in reference to those meetings that the whole prosecution was originally instituted, and the whole punishment ultimately inflicted." There is some thing novel, at least, in an argument on the hypo thesis of a verdict which the jury might have found, a verdict which no British court of judicature could have received, which overlooks the verdict which really was returned, and on which all the subsequent proceedings have been founded. But our Contemporary has, no doubt, remembered the adage, that " neces sity has no law !" We might join issue with him even on this hypothetical argument, if it were worth while to occupy our space _with a repub lication of a part of the proceedings which is in everybody's hands; but we deny the statement of our Contemporary most emphatically. The original finding of thejury, although technically invalid, con victed the traversers of the substantial charges which were brought against them ; enough and more than sufficient to have warranted an even severer sentence than that which was inflicted upon them. But to turn from the Chronicle's hypothetical ver dict to that which was really recorded. It insists that the sth, Bth, 9th, 10th, and 11th counts of the indictment, which embody every part of the charge, amount to the imputation of nothing that ought to be considered criminal ; quotes the opinions of the Irish judges, that the " exhibition of great physical force, for the purpose of overawing the Government, at the monster meetings," was the gravest of the charges the jury had to try ; and proceeds to assume th a t th e en ti re p e nalty inflicted on Mr. O'Connell was imposed upon him on the suppo sition of an offence " of which there was no legal or valid allegation in the record." We are reminded that the Ist, 2d, 3d, 4th, 6th, and ith counts are gone ; and we are assured that the remaining five impute no charge of which there was a " legal or valid allega tion." Now the simplest answer to this most dent assertion will be found in an extract from the speech of Sir Thomas Wilde, the leading counsel of Mr. O'Connell, setting forth his notion of the meaning of these very innocent counts. It will be seen that Sir Thomas Wilde's ideas of the meaning and importance of the counts on which the verdict was found, differs essentially from that of our Contemporary ; and that they contained many grave charges beside those which the Chronicle affirms were not legally alleged Having shown, on the authority of Mr. O'Connell's leading counsel, what the counts on which his client was found guilty do contain, and the degree of cri• minality with which they distinctly charge Mr. O'Connell, we shall not attempt to follow the Chronicle through its elaborate exposition of what they do not contain ; neither shall we resume to-day a task in which the admir able article we have elsewhere extracted from a morning Contemporary, has altogether fore stalled us. Suffice it for us to have shown that the five counts pronounced to be good include all the criminal charges in the indictment ; and that a judgment upon any one of them would have been valid. To the complaint that we have treated the judgment of the three Whig law Lords with less respect than we ought to have done, we reply, that that judgment is common property, and that a question on which nearly the whole of the judges of the United Kingdom, including two law Lords, are at issue with the Whig triumvirate, forms an exception which would warrant the disregard of all rules of ordinary etiquette. Mr. O'Connell and the Morning Chronicle assail, in the most indecent manner, eleven of those learned and exemplary judges, whose qualificrtions for their office the people of England have hitherto regarded, and still regard, with the utmost veneration and respect ; and it is something too much to attempt to debar the public press from criticising the decision of the three Whig law Lords by whom the opinions of that very large majority have been superciliously set aside. But, even when a leading member of this close court of appeal differs not only from eleven out of thirteen of the judges of the inferior courts, but from four out of five of the law Lords themselves, we ought, ac cording to the Chronicle's notions of propriety, to refrain from the expressions of our belief that he is not the sole depository of the learning, talent, and honesty of the English judicial bench ; in short, whilst our Contemporary does not scruple to insult the overwhelming majority of the judges who have been consulted in this case, we are bound to refrain from any opinion at variance with those of the intrepid three who have thus boldly asserted the supremacy of their j u d g me n t. A judges, two of whom , vigour of their sup portadte c l e i s ao i s o ft n a had little Whig tlthreeea dbeyond t r i a c tt a ih l oen to recommend them to the important offices they have respectively filled (one of them conferred after the Government of which the recipient was a partisan had been condemned the corrupt view ofgg h b it e n yon ar d reprieve, etirin gsa thlwariy), is forsooth to be treated with the utmost tenderness and forbearance whilst the "vile judges," as O'Connell has had the audacity to designate those eminent men who decided against him, and who adminster nineteen-twentieths of the laws of England at the present moment, are exposed to the most groundless and v i ru l en t a b use . If such be etiquette, it is a sort of etiquette " more honoured in the breach than the observance." NATIONAL ASSOCIATION. ADDRESS FROM THE MEMBERS OF THE NA TIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR PROMOTING THE POLITICAL AND SOCIAL IMPROVE MENT OF THE PEOPLE, TO THE WORKING CLASSES OF FRANCE, ON THE SUBJECT OF WAR. BRETHREN,-By this title we presume to address you—for, though the ocean divides, just principles and mutual interest should unite us—and though, at this crisis, bad men would foster prejudices and strife between us, the spirit of Christian brotherhood should recal us to our duty ; and cause us to spurn all those who would urge us to break every moral obligation, and plunge our respective countries into a ferocious and devastating war. We are, for the most part, working men who now address you—men who, intent on the political and social improvement of our brethren, conceive we have some claim to the attention of those of our own class upon any subject of mutual and vital importance ; and considering war as paramount for evil, in its de moralizing effects, as well as for retarding the intel lectual, moral, and physical progress of mankind ; we deem it our duty to invite you, fellow men, in the spirit of fraternity, to a calm consideration of its evils, as respects ourselves, our countries, and our race : and would urge your co-operation in appealing to the higher and nobler feelings of our brethren, to devise means for extinguishing this destructive spirit, which has cursed our race from the beginning of time. We are induced to make this appeal to you, the Working Classes of France, in particular, as the war like spirit has of late been sought to be fomented be tween us, by those who have 'either party views to promote, exclusive interests to protect, or who, like vultures, hope to thrive on the carnage of war. The press, too, of both countries, with few excep tions, for some time past has, unhappily, been admi nistering to our combative feelings ; and by sallies of wit, boastings and threatenings, seeking to fan our old (and, we trust, never to be revived) animosities into a flame of destructive war. Nay, to the disgrace of those who shared in it, we have seen professed fol lowers of Him who preached forgiveness and mercy vindictively inciting those they could influence, to re venge the real or supposed insult to an individual by plunging whole nations into war. The prevalence of this insane conduct has caused us to appeal to you, the working millions —you, by whose industry the munitions of war must be raised —you, who are mainly selected to be the tools and instruments of warfare—you, who must perform the bidding of some aristocratic minion, were it to war against freedom abroad, or to exterminate your bro thers at home—you, who have most cause f o r lament ing the sacrific es an d bereavements of war—you, who mnst bear (and are now bearing) the burthens in peace which past wars have inflicted—to you we ap peal, who, with the working millions of England, must bear the brunt and sacrifices of war—and of you we ask for a verdict condemnatory of the strife which the parties we have alluded to are seeking to foment. We address you, the working classes, because we believe that the interests of our class are identified throughout the world. Our interests are evidently in the peaceful cultivation of our lands, the feeding of our flocks, the ingenuity and extent of every manufacture and production capable of administering to human hap • piness, the reciprocal interchange of our commodities, the full enjoyment of the fruits of our labour, the culti vation of freedom, intellect, morality, religion, and brotherly affection among all the nations of the earth —in all these we believe there is an identity of inte rests ; and when the majority of our brethren have knowledge to perceive it, the advocates of national strife will be few, and the trade of war will fail to bring either glory, honour, or fame. Can - men so readily forget the enormous expenditure of money, and immense sacrifice of life, wasted in the last wars between your country and our's, that they are so anxious to renew them ? The revolutionary war and the war against the empire have already cost Eng land 2,229,830,000/., and the destruction of more than 700,000 human beings ! and if to this amount we add the sacrifices made by your country, we should imagine that such a holocaust of life and wealth, sacrificed to the demon of war, sufficient to glut the sanguinary appetites of men to all posterity. Does not every generous mind already revolt at the record of blood between two nations said to be foremost in civilisation and refinement ? and shall the page of history be fur ther defiled with the atrocities of war between people who ought to lead the world to freedom, by their in tellectual and moral greatness ? Forbid it every tongue !—condemn it every mind devoted to human happiness ! Imagine, fellow-workmen, that the wealth and human energies sacrificed in our last wars had been devoted to the instruction, comfort, and happiness of our neglected, ill-used, andi unhappy fellow labourers, what imperishable and glorious results might now be realised. What schools, what colleges, what smiling, happy villages, might be covering the soil beneath which repose the dust of beings once madly incited against their fellows, to glut the ven geance, or gratify the vanity, of those the world is still taught to worship as " heroes." We would also direct your attention to the amount annually expended by our respective countries in con sequence of the demoralising spirit of war. The annual war expenditure of England is 14,513,916/. ; of France, 20,418,730/. ; an enormous amount an• nually drained from the sinews of our brethren, and used to enslave and degrade them. Yet the only excuse for this mischievous and useless warlike array, is the mutual fear or jealousy entertained by one country of another; mutual folly, which it is high time the common sense of our brethren condemned and scouted, not only as a pernicious waste of the fruits of their industry, but as an instrument for per petuating national feuds and political slavery. If England and France were to set an example to the world of two powerful nations united in amity, rely ing on the interests, energies, and affections of their people to repel all who dared :assail them, we should soon witness the holiest of all national alliances, one for promoting the peace and happiness of the world. But those who would excite your prejudices, re mind you of the evils which our country has in iflicted on France. They condemn our rapacity and lust of power—they point with jealousy to our colo nies, and with envy to the extent of our com merce ; and, for past ills, would fain invoke present retaliation. Now, fellow-men, we are not of these who would frame an apology for injustice, and we also condemn, and have the burden of our debt to remind us of, the monstrous injustice of warring against the rising liberties of your country. We have also great cause for lamenting all the wars which our aristocracy have waged for the preservation of " their order," or for providing nesting-places for their children and dependants ; and would greatly rejoice if every colony of England were self-governed, and attached to us by no other tie than that which should unite all countries—that of enlightened self-interest, and the brotherhood of man. We class our late wars in China and Affghanistan with the war you are now waging in Algeria, as unjust wars ; the power of might being immorally exercised in all, as it always is when force and destruction take the place of reason and justice. But our object is not the mere condemnation of par ticular wars, but of all war ; believing war in prin ciple to be vengeance in practice—a vice equally op posed to our morality and condemned by our religion ; its tendency is to deteriorate the nobler faculties of man, and strengthen those which level him with the brute. It stands the most formidable impediment to the civilisation of our race, rendering nearly nugatory the best-devised efforts for elevating humanity ; for, by polluting the youthful mind with tales of blood, by stamping public approbation on deeds of vengeance, and idolising as heroes those who have excelled in crime, we sap the very foundations of virtue, and offer the highest premium to vice. Be assured, fellow-men, the evils of our age cannot be remedied by the sword ; the steady increase of knowledge is the harbinger of freedom to the millions, and individual and national morality must be the basis upon which their political and social prosperity must be founded. The arts of peace are fast preparing a highway to the world's happiness ; the ingenuity of invention and triumphs of genius are fast breaking down the barriers which separate nations ; gothic pre judices are yielding before human sympathies ; the pro ductive classes are fast learning the lesson of human reciprocity ; and, eventually, the freedom of nations will be placed on a foundation not to be endangered by official folly, or destroyed by the whim of a despot. And shall this promise of good be marred by the ill-intentioned or unreflecting ? by those who plan battles on paper, and prefer fighting by proxy ; who talk of national " honour" being purified by blood ; who invoke the specious name of "glory" to induce our brethren to leave their peaceful pursuits, their homes and relatives, to deal destruction and death against those who have given them no just cause for resentment? Let but the united voices of the mil lions proclaim it madness, and the civilisation of the world is secure. Unhappily for the cause of peace and human pro gress, State and Church are combined in favour of war. We have seen your Bishops and our's bless its flags and symbols ! invoke the Deiety for its success, and pour out their thanksgivings for victory ! But, fellow- workmen, though the highest authority may sanction, it cannot establish the justice of crime. The principles of religion and morality stand out broadly in condemnation of war, and to these we would refer you, against all power, and all authority. In furtherance, then, of this sacred cause—in the spirit of brotherhood—in our love of peace and hatred of war, we respectfully submit the following proposi tions for your consideration, amendment, or approval ; hoping that they may form a preliminary bond of fel lowship, to unite us for every good object tending to advance the intelligence, morality, freeedom, and hap piness of mankind : " 1. That we, the working classes of France and England, respectfully present our different legislative bOdies with a solemn protest against all war; as being in principle opposed to morality, religion, and human happiness. " 2. That we request them to use their influence with the nations of the world to establish a Con ference of Nations, to be composed of three or more representatives, chosen by the people of their re spective countries, to mee t annua lly, f or the purp o se or settling all national disputes that may arise by arbitration, without having recourse to war. " 3. That we urge on them to devote the enor mous sums now expended in War and warlike prepa rations to the education and improvement of the people of their respective countries. "4. That we impress on them the necessity of set ting an example to other nations of that justice, for bearance, morality and religion which they preach the necessity of to their own people. " 5. That we earnestly beseech them to set the bounds of justice to their acquisitions of territory, and seek to amend their institutions, and improve the con dition of their people." Should you concur with these propositions, or with others more effective for the just and peaceful accom plishment of the object aimed at, we shall be ready to co-operate with you ; excepting that we do not de sire to enter into any new agitation short of our pri mary object—The Political and Social Improvement of the People. But it is not on our rulers alone that we should rely for support or sympathy in this great cause, but on our own combined intellectual exertions. We have too long relied on others for effecting our po litical and social redemption ; each and all must la bour in this grand work, and every individual must be religiously impressed with the necesssity of exer tion and sacrifice to effect it. The increasing progress of knowledge is rendering opinion powerful, and it lies with the millions to make that opinion conducive of good to themselves and posterity. Let us, there fore, brethren, begin by directing our own thoughts to the examination of great principles, and honestly proclaim th em b a d or goo d, regar dl ess o f consequence to ourselves. If, on examining the principles of peace and war, we think the former should be extended, and the latter condemned, we should commence our reform at the source of pollution, and begi n w ith our c hild ren . W e should remember that the warlike tales and toys of the nursery are the seeds of strife and battle, and that our admiration of warlike splendour and gory " glory" is fitting instruction for moulding our sons into soldier slaves or tyrant chieftains. Instead of stamping our approbation on the Heroes of War and Oppression, let us seek to generate a more ennobling opinion in favour of those who have contri buted to the intellectual greatness or physical happi ness of their country; then, indeed, would Art con tribute her best efforts to elevate and dignify huma nity, instead of representing the mementos and hor rors of war, to brutalize and degrade it. Nor must we, in our pursuit, forget the power we possess to render the Press one of the most powerful instruments for human benefit, instead of being, as it too often is, the ally of power and corruption. Let us wisely discriminate, and generously encourage, that portion of it which maintains its exalted character, as the proclaimer of truth and assertor of right, and thus shall we gradually lead it onward to perform its highest duties—the improvement of human institu tions, the perfecting of human character. Sincerely hoping that your country and our's may long he cemented in fellowship ; that our people may unitedly seek to secure the peace and tranquility of the world ; that our rulers may effect timely reforms, and apply the vast resources of our fair countries to the happiness of our brethren ; and that we may al fast progress in knowledge, morality and universal brotherhood, is the ardent hope of the members of the National Association. Signed on their behalf, by W. LOVETT, Sec. National Hall, 242, Holborn, London, Sept. 10, 1844. CITY OF LONDON REGISTRY. The revision of the list of voters for the City of Lon don commenced yesterday before James Thos. Arnold, Esq., barrister-at • •law. _ _ Mr. Wansey appeared on behalf of the Liberal party, and Mr. Quin for the Conservatives. The following is a summary of the claims and objec tions made by the Liberals, on amount of the livery : gross claims 15, gross objections 450, in the household list. New bona fide claims 351, claims to amend 117— gross claims 468, gross objections 671. The claims and objections made by the Liberal party in the parish of St. Stephen, Walbrook, owing to the recent circumstances connected with the collector's ac counts in that parish must for perspicuity be divided into two lists, namely, the list of Mr. Alderman Gibbs, to which the Liberal claims and objections are as follows :—New bona fide claims, 15 ; claims to amend. 4 • gross claims, 19 ; gross objections, 5 ; and the li s t o f Mr.i Rock, the objections and claims to which are under the head of new bona fide claims, 14 : claims to amend, 3 ; gross claims, 7 ; gross objections, 5. The following is a summary of the list of claims and objections served by the Conservative party :—Livery objections, 219, of which 73 were what is termed " doubles," or objections by both parties ; thus leaving only 146 available Conservative objections in the Livery. The claims were only 5. In the household list the ob jections were 831, from which were to be taken 76 " doubles," reducing the objections to 755. In this species of franchise the Conservatives only put in 10 claims. Acccrding to the usual custom, this being the first day, it was determined to enter upon no further business than merely to receive the different lists of claims and ob jections from the several vestry-clerks and overseers, and also the parochial lists from Mr. Secondary Potter. Upon the Revising Barrister taking his seat upon the bench he said, before entering upon the business of the day it might be convenient to the gentlemen in attend ance if they were to come to some arrangement with respect to the order in which the several parish lists should be taken. Last year the arrangement was to take them in alphabetical order, but perhaps a course more in accordance with the wishes of the majority of those in attendance might be devised. Mr. QuIN thought it would be much better if, instead of taking the parishes alphabetically, they were to be taken according to the different polling lists. Such a course would enable them to have the registry placed in the hands of the printer much earlier than could be done otherwise. Mr. WANSEY also concurred in the views of Mr. Quin upon the subject. It would be much better if they fol lowed the same course which was pursued in Middlesex and other places, and take the several parish lists accord ing to the order in which they stood as polling districts in the Parliamentary lists. He also trusted that some means would be adopted whereby publicity would be given to the daily order in which these lists would be taken. After some objections against this course being urged by one or two of the collectors and overseers, The REVISING BARRISTER. said, as it seemed to be almost the unanimous opinion of the gentlemen engaged in the revision, he should take the parishes in the order in which they stood as polling districts —at the same time causing a notice to be posted upon the doors of the Court the da Isefore, as to what partic ular p arish wo uld bo under revision upon the following day. The electors, and all concerned, will thus have ample notice given to them of the time when the revision of his several polling districts to which they belong will come on, and should, therefore, bear in mind the different order in which they will be taken this year from that in which they came cn last year, when the parishes were taken alphabetically. The Court then proceeded to the routine business of naming the lists of claims and objections.

On Saturday last we attended A private view of the pictures selected by the prize-holders in the London Art-Union for the year 1844, which are now exhibit ing at the Gallery in Suffolk-street, Pall-mall East. The number of selected pictures is 251, the whole of which have been before the public at those exhibitions of art which are open to the prize holders to select from, viz.:—the Royal Academy, the British Institu tion, the Society of British Artists, the Society of Painters in Water Colours, and the New Society of Painters in Water Colours. Of these the kUyal Academy furnishes 73; the Society of British Artists 92 ; the British Institution 31 ; the Society of Pain ters in 'Water Colours 29 ; and the New Society of Painters in Water Colours 26. In addition to which a bust, in marble, and a group, have been selected from the Society of British Artists. We have also Mr. Bell's Eagle Slayer, from the recent IVestininster hall exhibition; three or four bronzes; a water colour copy of Calcott's Raffaele and Fornarina, which, it will be remembered, formed the subject of the engraving for 1843, and an unfini , hed proof of the Castle of Ischia. As all these works, at least, all the selected works, have been already be fore the public, and for the most girt noticed by us at the time of their previous exhibition, we will not enter into any detailed criticism of their respective merits. Suffice it to say that the majority of them afford proof of the excellent taste which, in general, has governed the selection of the fortunate prize holders. It will be seen by the analysis w e have given that the Society of British Artists is the fa vourite; we know not for what reason, utiles; it be from a desire to discourage the monopoly which' is generally understood to be the pervading principle of the Royal Academy, for it cannot br denicd that the pictures selected from the latter institution are amongst the best, if not the best, in this exhibition; we might refer especially in support of this position to D. Roberts's splendid picture, the Pyramids of Gizeh at sunset; Tennant's Magpie Island ; and Cooper's Repose, which reminds us forcibly of some of the happiest efforts of Cuyp's pencil. The Ford, by the same artist ; the Ploughed Field, by Lee ; and Waiting for the Ferry, by Barraud, are also beauti ful specimens of oil painting. But it is almost unfair to make particular selections from amongst the large number of highly meritorious works of which this exhibition can boast, many of which, in the cursory glance we were enabled to give to them on Saturday, no doubt, escaped our notice. Few, however, who visit this exhibition will, we apprehend, be prepared to dispute the beneficial effect of the Art-Union in encouraging the arts and improving the public taste. From a correspondence which the Committee have very properly published in their catalogue, it appears that an attempt has been made, in connexion with this year's distribution of prizes, to carry out one of those jobs which, when the institution was first established, it was considered by many persons that it would have a tendency to promote, viz., by collusion between the prize-holder and any artist amongst the exhibitors, who might be found base enough to join with him, to convert the prize into a money payment to be shared between the two parties—the picture selected being returned to the painter, in addition to his share of the money paid to him by the society as its value ; thus giving to the proceedings of the Art-Union all the objectionable features of the old lotteries, making it a medium for mere gambling speculations, and frus trating those great and important objects for which alone it was established, and in consideration of which the existence of such societies can alone be tolerated. The attempt to which we here allude is described in the two letters which the society have published, and which we here print from their catalogue. The Coins mitttee say that they "reluctantly feel themselves compelled to publish the following letters; but, while strongly reprobating the unworthy attempts there de tailed, they wish to exempt from any suspicion of collusion the artist whose picture was finally selected as Mr. Saunders's prize :" " 11, Argyll-place, August 20, 1844. " Dear Sir—By the wish of my friend, Mr. Hollins, A.R.A., I beg to trouble you with the following state ment connected with the objects of the Art-Union, Mr. Hollins being too unwell to write clearly at present. " Towards the close of last week, a person calling himself the agent of a Mr. Saunders, of Burton-upon- Trent, waited on Mr. Hollins with the object of pur chasing a picture of his, now in the Royal Academy, valued at two hundred guineas, for Mr. Saunders, who had obtained a prize of that amount at the late distri bution, and offered to select that picture, if Mr. Hollins would agree to purchase the picture again at a less price, 175/. or so; as the prize -holder preferred having the money to a picture. Mr. Hollins, by this arrange ment would have received about 35/. and have kept his picture, and Mr. Saunders have pocketed 175/. of the Art-Union money. " Mr. Hollins, of course, declined this arrangement ; and, as he has no doubt you will agree with him that such a perversion of the funds should be avoided if pos sible, this information he trusts will enable you to see that the money is bona fide laid out in the purchase of a picture by Mr. Saunders. " Mr. Hollins is confined to his house, 47, Berners street; but will give any information you may require, and be happy to see you or Mr. Pocock, if you would favour him with a call. "The party hinted that their proposed arrangement could be carried out with other parties. " Believe me, dear sir, your, very truly, " Geo. Godwin, Esq. " J. J. SCOLES." " 6, Southampton-street, Fitzroy-square, Aug. 22, " Gentlemen,—On Friday evening two gentlemen called on Mr. Claxton, who is at present in the Isle of Wight, and finding he was from home, requested to see me, when they introduced themsclves by saying that a friend of theirs in the country had gained one of the 2001 prizes in the Art-Union, and had commissioned them to choose the picture, and then to propose to the artist that he should give them some part of the price, which he only could receive from the secretaries of the Society. I wished them much to write to Mr. Claxton, but they declined to do so, and also to leave their names, saying if I would write they would call for his answer on Tuesday evening, and if he would mention how much of the price he would return them, they would - then tell him how much they required ; but if he re fused, they would select another picture, and endeavour to make the same arrangement with another artist. j received an answer from Mr. Claxton on Monday morn ing, in which he says, Should those gentlemen return, you must tell them that I refuse their offer most deci dedly, as they must know that, by accepting it, I should be defrauding the Society, and disgracing my profession.' " I believe Mr. Caxton intends writing to you himself, but he may be prevented for a few days ; an d as t h e gentlemen have not returned for Mr. Caxton's answer, I have been advised to inform you immediately, as there may be some regulations of the Society which provide for such an occasion.—l have the honour to be, gentle men, your respectfully, " SOPHIA.

FORGERY AT THE BANK. The discovery of a forgery on the Bank of England for 8,0001. has been a matter of general conversation since the event occurred ; and as the chief party im plicated is a clerk in the Bank of England, it naturally turns the attention of pra c ti c al me n t o the working of a system by which facilities are offered to persons connected with the Bank to effect such extensive frauds. It would be throwing a doubt on the cha racter of a body of the most deserving and assiduous men, the Bank clerks, to suppose that because in one case such a fraud has been perpetrated that others will follow ; but nevertheless it is quite necessary that the Directors, in future regulations, should endeavour to do away with the plan of identification by Bank clerks, which, in the present case, has caused all the mischief. The following is understood to be the manner in which Burgess, the Bank clerk, and his accomplice effected the fraud. The former, by his intimate acquaintance with the Bank books, found that a stockholder of many years standing, Mr. Wil liam Oxenford, of the Long Room, Custom-house, had a large amount of money in Consols, and having obtained leave of absence for a few days, it was during this interval that th e f orgery was execute d . H av i ng thisobtained knowledge it seems he obtained a party, his accomplice, to represent the bonii fide holder of the stock, and they proceeded to the Bank, and there effected a transfer of 8,2001., Burgess identifying his friend as a holder, and h ence l u lli ng sus pi c i on . Di rec tly they obtained the s t oc k , t h ey sold i t at t h e current market price, and cha nge d th e no t es th ey rece i ve d into gold, which in equal divisions of 4,0001. was de posited in a carpet bag, and taken away in aca by the accomplice. It was not t ill t h e a b sence o f Bur gess continued beyond hi s a pp o i n t e d time th a t a d ou bt entered the mind of hi s f e ll ow - c l er k s o f th e l eg i t i macy of the transaction, but when inquiries were made for him and he could not be found, the matter was in vestigated and the result ascertained. The culprits having had a week's start of the officers, there is every reason for supposin g th at t h ey em b race d th e oppor tunity for a Transatlantic trip, and up to the present time no clue has been discovered of their retreat, al though rum ours from d ay t o d ay h ave been circulated on the subject. So barefaced a fraud was never before co mmitted, and the Sl ac k consp i racy , no t w ith s t an di ng its organisation was of a more complicated and inge nious character, was nothing to compare to the h effrontery The D m not Directors twaallowfuture clerk s t o id ent if y, b ut str i ct l y en forceson of s i gnature, an d ta k e t h e wor d o f c oir the broker, who will be made to suffer the loss in case of forgery or fraud following.

While the Ellen Crawford, Captain Newby, from Hamburgh, lying in the Junction Dock was de livering shoddy and " devil's-dust," a quantity of tobacco was found in one of the bales of the hold. On further search, two other bales, in the hold and one upon the quay, which had passed the landing-waiter' s scales, were found to be in the same condition. The discovery was made officer, and crew suruveey were immediately by a tide-waiter named H o lmes, who gave information Gleadow, by whom immediately placed under seizure. The q uantit y of tobacco found was 4 to o e his vessel, superior car o g ffi o, n cwt., 3 qrs., 241 b., the whole of which was, we under stand, manufactured, and of the finest quality. So badly had the concealment been made, that the first bale in which any was found actually fell to pieces in the hold. But for that circumstance, it is probable the whole would have escaped, as one bale had already passed the land ing-waiter.—Hull Packet. RARE AvES.—TWO extraordinarily curious speci mens of freaks of nature amongst the feathered tribe hare been—one captured, the other shot—in the fields hard by this town (Louth), during the past week. They are, although of different species, p urely white. The first, to use an Iricism, is a white blackbird ! which was discovered by . Mr. Paddison, shoemaker, of this town, who, with assistance, succeeded in running down and capturing it. It is now in Mr. P.'s p ossess i on, a young and remarkably beautiful bird. The other, a milk-white sparrow! which was shot by Mr. Would Elvin, of Louth Park -buildings, in a field near the mans i on of G. Hol land, Esq., at the Park. The shot did not take fatal effect, and the pretty natural curiosity is now caged and doing well i n M r . Elvin's possession. The two have been much admired by those who have a taste bent towards such curious matters.—Lincolnshire Chronicle. THE GREAT BRITAIN.—It is with feelings of un common pleasure that we arc enabled to announce to our readers, upon undoubted authority, that arrangements are in progress for the release of this ma gn ifi cent vess el from her present untoward situation, and that she may be expected to be floated out of the harbour either in the ensuing month of October or the early part of November. It would be premature to state the nature of the arrange ments about to he made, but the above statement may be implicitly relied on.—Bristol Mirror. THE SEASON AND THE CROPS.--Very little of any thing in the shape of crops now remains to be got in in this neighbourhood ; a few backward crops of oats or barley may remain unhoused, but they are very few. Second crops of grass have been cut here and there, and also the first grass in the East-croft, which is always late. One or two nights this week have been rather frosty. This change is described in our locality by the frequent exclamation, " It begins to smell Goose Fairish." —Nottingham Review. DETERMINED SUICIDE. - -- An inquest was held before Mr. Payne, on Satur day evening, at the Tower of London Tavern, Tows.- street, Waterloo-road, on the body of Mr. Thomas Noy, aged fifty-two, late a clerk in the Army Dis trict Pay-office, Duke-street, Westminster, who com mitted suicide on Friday morning, by hanging him self in his bedroom, under the following distressing circumstances : Police-constable 177 L stated that he was called in about nine o'clock on Friday morning, and found the deceased hanging by a rope behind the bedroom door. He immediately cut him down, and sent a brother officer for Mr. Sewell, surgeon, upon whose arrival, in about two minutes, life was quite extinct. Mary Noy (daughter of deceased) said her father had been very low spirited for some days. He was indebted to the landlord for rent to the amount of 71. 19s. 6d., who had threatened him to distrain on his goods, unless a portion of the money was paid on Friday. Deceased had recently been discharged from his situation ; but it appeared from the evidence of a clerk in the Recruiting Department, that hopes had been held out to him of a re-appointment, and he had received his salary up to the 30thof w t h h i e ch pr t e h - e following pre sent month. The police, on searching his room , found two leb• ters, written in pencil, one addressed to the coroner, the ll wi otherng areto e A o l p r i . e L a e :_ gge, his landlord, of . " 14th August, 1844. 46Mr. Coroner—l a . min my perfect senses, there fore there is no occasion for . a jury. I wish you to m y body to .Westminster hospital, if in your for I received good treatment from that in stitution 9 S s t e i n tU de t r ioll about twelve months since, and I have no other legacy to leave them. Pray comply with my wishes if in your power, "THOMAS NOT." " Sept. 14 ; 20 minutes to Six, A.M. " Mr. Legge—You see what your precipitancy has brought on. Did you think I would see a broker in my Place ? No, never. Had you waited a few weeks everything would have been settled, but your avarice and miserly propensities are well known to me. Do not touch an article of Mrs. Gibb's things, as you value the curse of a dying man. Her rent is paid to me to the 20th of August last, and when her daughter comes from the country she will pay you what is due from that time. I shall lay the same in veterate curse on you if you touch any article that belongs to Mary in her own right, such as clothes, boxes, &c. " THOMAS NOT." " There will be sufficient of my property to pay you, and a surplus to hand over, as, according to law, there is one-and-a-half year's interest too much charged in your account." It appeared that a portion of Mr. Legge's debt was for money lent at at 7 per cent. interest. The jury returned a verdict, "That deceased com mitted suicide while in a state of temporary insanity," The contemplated alliance between Lord Loftus, eldest son of the Marquis of Ely, and Miss Hope Vere. daughter of Lady Elizabeth Hope Vere, and niece to Lieut.-General the Marquis of Tweeddale, Governor of Madras, is expected to be solemnised at the close of thq ensuing month, when the noble bride elect will have ark rived with the Marquis and Marchioness of Douro front the Coptiuout.
