At three:o'clOck on Saturday last a Meeting of the Subscribers to Mr. WirArr's design for a Nlonuinent to coturtemorate the Virtues of his late Majesty King GEORGE the TRIRD, was held at the Thatched-house Tavern, St. James's-street, th e E ar l o f H ARRINGTON in the Chair, sup ported by the Marquis of LOTH IAN , th e E ar l of BLESINTON Lord KENYON, the Lord I;3ishop of SALtsRuRy, andseveral other perSomages of rank. The object of the Meeting was to consider the questi on o f t h row i ng open the Monumental design for general competition, instead, of letting the work rest alto gether with Mr.AVYArr, who was the ori,ginator'of it. The Earl of BLESINTON then opened the business of 'the Meeting, by reading the folloWing document, explanatory of the proceedings of the Committee:— REPORT. The Special ComMittee (nominated by the Earl of Liver pool, for the -. purpose of pointin g out the b est course to be adopted in order to carry into effect the wishes of the Sub scribers to the National MOnument) assembled on Saturday, March 16, and proceeded to examine the documents, resolu tions, - &c. contained in the books of the Seerc'tory. • It appears_ that Mr. M. 'Wyatt, on the 3d of June, 1820, subinitteil a specific plan to his Royal Highness the Duke of York, which, on the 21st of June; 1820;' his Royal Highness consented to patronize. Mr. Wyatt then applied to the other branches of tue Roy a l F am il y, to many Noblemen and Gentle men, who consented to be members of the General Com mittee. Previously to submitting the plan to the public, Mx. Wyatt, on the 7th of October, obtained, through the friendly assistance of a warm supporter .of it, the sanction of his Majesty. It appears that the sketch designed by Mr. Wyatt was ap proved at a meeting of the Committee, on January 27; the Marquis of Donegal in the Chair. The Sub-Committee (consisting of persons conversant in various branches of art) was instructed to facilitate the exe cution of the plan, and at the same time to protect the interest of the subscribers. It has been very erroneously supposed that the Sub-Com mittee was formed of personal friends of Mr. Wyatt, for the sole purpose of advancing the interests of their friend. The members of that Committee were induced to act from:various motives ; but, generally_ speaking, the great inducement was an affectionate recollection of the. private virtues of King Geo. 111. and a just appreciation of the zeal and intrepidity of Mr. Wyatt; . which were sufficient to i ns pi re hi m with hopes of patronage, and confidence of success. The first resclution published in the different newspapers, established a subscription for the plan, which, on tho 13th of February, was publicly announced as designed and to be exea cuted by Mr. Wyatt. The first document that appears on the books as.an impedi ment is a letter from his Royal Highness the patron, stating, that a strong opposition had been created, and that he con sidered it advisable to make new arrangements." To this let ter the Sub-Committee respectfully replied, arguing,- " that the plan was Mr. M. Wyatt's ; that he had long laboured and ar dously exerted himself to further - its success ; that he had de voted much time and incurred much expence, and that his re putation was now intimately connected with it." The Special Committee took these circumstances into consi deration, and it was argued on the one side, _that the Members of the Committee were p l e d ge d to , Mr. Ak. Wyatt and his plan; on the other side it was contended, that the subscribers were not bound to adopt the plan, nor compelled to confine the .national monument to any particular artist. The result of the debate was, " That a deputation was direCted to wait on the illustrious patron, to ascertain his, opinion whether Mr. M. - Wyatt was or not to-be the artist` employed. By the' report of that mission, his Royal Highness's sentiments appear to con tinue favourable to competition., though not unfavourable to Mr. 1%1. Wyatt or his plan. It may not be considered im proper tci: mention the Cenotaph to the memory of her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte. One of the objections to Mr. M. Wyatt was, that the Cenotaph was not finished ; but that ,objection must now cease, as tile nine figures are coin. pleted. For this work there was no competition. The figure to be erected in honour of the Mike of Wel lington is not the fruit of competition; and here it may be I observed, in opposition to one of the objections to the National Monument (viz. that it is an inappropriate record of the private virtues of his Majesty George III.) ; that Mr. M. Wyatt wished to include- the glories of the Regency in the monumental record of the reign of King George 111. What allusion more appropriate than on the design of Mr. M. Wyatt does there appear in a bronze figure of a Castor, a Pol lux, or an Alexander, brou g ht f rom M onte Cavell°, without his-horse, to stand in naked and classic beauty, as an emblem of the valour, the wisdom, and the perseverance of a Welling ton ? • The statue to the memory of President West is the pro position of an individual. The monument to Lord Nelson at Liverpool was competed for, and the prize gained by Mr. M. Wyatt; but in this case the money was raised, and the plan advertised for. In the present case the plan was proposed by an individual, and approved of by a Committee, which Com mittee advertised for subscriptions to carry it into execution—: These observations have been made in order to give the sub scribers an accurate view of the situation in which they are placed, not with the intent of giving any unfair bias to their decision. ThiSpecial Committee is anxious to appeal to the subscribers, trusting that the great object in view, viz, a splendid monumental record of the reign of King George 111. will, by their decision, be effectually attained. (Signed) i BLESINTON, March 30, 1822. Chairman of the Special Committee. Mr. KERB, M.P. considered that nothing could be more un just to Mr. Wyatt than to throw open the work which had cost him such labour to general competition. Mr. Wyatt was the person from whom the design originated ; and had it not been for his indefatigable exertions, probably the erection of a monu ment would not have been undertaken at all. The model was now completed, and lie trusted the Committee would con tinue their support to an artist in every way entitled to their confidence. The Rev. Mr. CROLEY addressed the meeting at consider- - able length in support:of Mr. Wyatt's plan. Nothing could be' more absurd or malicious than an assertion which had been so sedulously and (no doubt) injuriously circulated, that the erec- - tion of a monument to the memory of our lamented Monarch had been converted into a " job" by the subscribers, for the bi nefit of Mr. Wyatt. tie had no doubt whatever that the im pediments thrown in the way of the subscriptions sere occa sioned by the attempt to deprive Mr. Wyatt of the rewards of his labour, and to throw open to competitiOn a work which might be almost considered complete. It: competition were in tended, it should have originated before Mr. Wyatt had finish ed his truly elegant and classic design, which had cost him so much time arid money to execute. Let no man suppose that -the subscriptions had languished from any want of public con fidence in the talents of the artist. The fact vas completely the reverse; and these very persons who were most anxious for competition could not withhold their admiration of Ma trans cendent merit. But the very nature of the undertaking ac counted for the gradual increase of subscriptions. It could not be supposed there was any want of ardouror attachment to the memory of our late Sovereign. But the circumstances of the times had materially obstructed the channel of benevolence.._ This was not a fund for the relief of actual misery pining in dis tress ; it was not a fund for the compensation of the Widovis and orphans of those brave heroes who had so nobly shed their blood in fighting the battles of their country. No, it was the silent tri bute of the good and loyal, paid into the unrefundi ng treasu ry of the grave, to commemorate the virtues of one of the best of Kings.—(Hear ! hear ! hear !)—But still it must be remembered, that however. worthy the object, it was that kind of moral excitem e nt, wh ose importance and value was re-. commended to the mind by slow degrees, and was not elicited by the enthusiasni of the moment. Had it not been for the on.: fortunate doubt which existed as to Mr. Wyatt% right to be the artist, a very - large sum of money would have been collect ed last June at the dinner given at the Freemasons' Tavern. He the more lamented that any obstruction should arise in the undertaking from a desire of competition, because he knew if it were thrown open to-morrow; no respectable artist would offer himself a candidate ; for artists of eminence were afraid of competition, not on account of the wisdom, but the ignor ance of their judges, anti • he. could not bring his mind to believe, that any man of real genius would come for ward in so iniquitous a transaction, and endeavour to raise his own fame upon the ruins of another. You might indeed get the striplings and- apprentices of' the school, who would bring forward their crude conceptions from their copy books.- But depend upon it no man of eminence would yen tore to subject himself to the universal indignation with which .he would be justly overwhelmed: , Hetherefore called upon all those present to persevere in their exertions to have the monu- meat completed. The subscriptions had been 'given for the specifie work of a specific artist,and they could not now throw the door open to competition, without dishonour to the members, and nun to the fame and fortune of that unrivalled artist.— (Hear, heat. !) Mr. LOWNDES said, that on general principles he was art advocate for competition, but it would not b e common j us ti ce to Mr. Wyatt, after all his labour and complete success, to allow competition. The Marquis of LOTHIAN admired as much as any man the talents of Mr. Wyatt, but he was always a friend to competi tion, and would remain so. Colonel TRENCM, M.P.. strongly deprecated the injustice of-admirting others to a competition with Mr. Wyatt, after he, which gave universal satisfaction. - had completed hi s d es i gn Lord KENYON was deeply impressed with a sense of .Mr. Wyatt's merit, but 'he thatuzlit his friends acted injudiciously in opposing a competition.. For he thought if a Committee of taste were appointed, and the designs of various artists ware submitted to their inspection,, it would be ten times More cre ditable to Mr. Wyatt -if his model Were approved by them, which he thought extremely . probable. For his part lie was a decided friend to competition, and should therefore propose that a Committee be appointed to inspect whatever models should besubmitted to them for ati anent to the memory of George 111. Dr. BUTLER was of opinion that the present plan had been already tried and had failed, and if the doors were thrown open to competition, he hail at do9bra'llOotrof gold would • pour in. Lord KEN - YoN's resoltition was then put and negatived by a large Majority. Various resohttions, (vide AdVertisement) declaring that Mr. Wyatt should have the undivided support of the subscribers, were then proposed and carried by acclama tion. Thanks were then proposed to the Noble Chairman, who expressed his hearty concurrence in the course which had been ,ultimately adopted. The meeting then separated at 5 o'clock, evidently well pleased with the result, which must be extreme ly gratitying to the feelings of Mr. Wyatt, on account of the high eulogiums pronounced upon his private and profeSsiohal character, by indiViduals whose opinions must always carry such weight and influence.

MONTHLY REPORT FOR illAncm—Notwithstanding the scarcity of fine samples that now appear in Mark-lane, 'but little advance upon' them has yet been made in price, while the ordinary Wheats continue nearly unsaleable. The effects of this depression are so widely extending through every Corn District, that numerous farms have been quitted at Lady-day, without the prospect of new tenants f or th e i r occupat i on . T he proprietors' loss, though great, will, it is feared, be found but a secondary- consideration, from the deterioration of the soil, which in many parts is already too visible.—The growing 'Wheats are generally good, but more than usually foul from 'the 'mildness of the winter : to have them made clean by the hoe would exceed the present means of too many occupiers in a season of such general distress. Unless a check shortly be given to vegetation, an early harvest may be looked for—The Barleys and Oats have been got well upon tender soils ; b u t on heavy lands the L e nt Seed Corn 'has required additional rollings and harrowings to cover it. Beans and Peas plant well. Potatoes are getting in generally through the Stratford district, in Essex. The Turnip and other green food has with difficulty been taken off, though given to the graziers. The young Clovers and Rye-grass are forward in growth. The liop grounds through Kent and S'usSex are principally polled, and show strong bine ; but many old plantations are stubbed up, from the produce not answering the expenditure.—Stnith , field hascontinued loaded with Mutton and half-fat Cattle, 'which barely maintained last month's prices. Prime Beef, being rather scarce, had some advance. Lamb and Veal also rather dearer. The prospect of early Grass-fed has occasioned - a rise in Lean Beasts, particularly those of the Scot kind, many droves of which are shewn on Epping Forest. The Lambing season on the South and Wiltshire.Downs has been a favour able one; but not so in Lincolnshire, and adjoining districts, where the loss of ewes has been considerable.—The Wool market is brisker, and 'command's rather more than lait month's prices. —Rape, for peed, 1s pushing into bloom, and promises a good crop on the high lands ; but the plants in the Fens were mostly destroyed by the floods. •. A• Madagascar. youth, of about 14 years of age, died on Thursday on board the Andromache, at Portsmouth. He was sent •to this country by the King of MADAGASCAR, with others, to be in structed in the principles of the Christian reli gion, and knowledge of some useful art, but the change of climate produced consumption, of which he died, ere he could be conveyed back to his native country. His remains were landed on Saturday afternoon, to be interred in the Gar risen Chapel. LITERARY NOTICE.

Plates ; faithfully copied front Japanese Ori ginalS. Royal 4to. ' This copious title presents an accurate bill of fare of the entertaimnent to be found in this very curious volume.—Under the system of se lelusion so long pursued by the ,Government of Japan, such an accession to our stock Of infor mation, relative to the history, manners, customs, arts and literature of its inhabitants, as is fur nished in these illustrations, cannot fail. to be extremely welcome to every inquisitive.mind.— . -'We .see by' the example of the author how much may be effected in the way of communis'ating to the Japanese a taste for the arts and s...ences. of Europe; by a man whose faculties are not Wholly . under the "diuninion of the plodding spirit of .com fierce. A beginning- having been made to open their - eyes to the benefits likely to' accrue tp themselves from a relaxation of their narrow po licy, arm the permission of a more extensive in tercourse with Europeans, it seems to be a point worthy of Serious consideration, whether British enterprize might not avail itself of this favour able disposition for attempting with some chance . of success to establish a counexioti with his po pulous insular. empire. We are well aware that it would have no trifling difficulties to encounter, not only in the prejudices of the Japanese, but probably also. in those of the Dutch, who have hitherto enjoyed this' privilege, to the exclusion of all other foreign nations. Be this as- it may, we have too high an opinion of British spirit, in dustry,.and: perseverance, not to be convinced that they would find means to surmount even still more powerful impedinients. Such are the judicious remarks with which the translator ushers this volume before the public, and in which we heartily concur. It opens with private memoirs and anecdotes of the reigning dynasty of the Sovereigns of Japan, who have occupied the throne since the year 1600. A circumstance calculated to excite strong interest and curiosity in behalf of this portion of the 'vo lume, is the prohibition- to publish any historical work relative to a dynasty so long as it fills the throne. This practice, . partly designed 'to pre serve historians from the temptation of swerving from truth, and partly to prevent premature re velations and such discussions as are conceived to be injurious to the Sovereign authority, and dangerous to the tranquillity of the State, tends to conceal the most recent facts from the know ledge of the public. M. Titsingli, who trans lated or extracted these Memoirs from Japanese manuscripts, availed himself of the high cenfi deuce which his character had won him, to obtain access to materials which the possessors carefully conceal, or at least shew to none but their most intimate friends. When we consider the Suspi cious spirit of the Japanese Government, its aver sions to foreigners, and the rigid inquisition and barbarous jurisprudence by which private indi viduals are oppressed, we have abundant reason to congratulate ourselves that a European - has accomplished what a native never durst have attempted. • Having dismissed this part of the volume be fore us, from which, replete as it is with anecdote, we can promise the reader much entertainment, we shall not attempt to analyse the remainder of its multifarious contents, which exhibit the Japanese character in many singular points of view. What shall we say of a nation in which all persons holding offices under Government are obliged to be ready to sacrifice their own lives, on receiving an order to that effect ? and by whom the art of ripping up one's body with grace and dexterity is deemed an essental part . of a genteel education ? Suicide is a 1 ractice whiCh extends to the lowest classes, death being pre ferred by them to the slightest disgrace. The fragments- of their poetry, and the explanatory observations on them, throw light en a subject which we have never yet seen toughed upon ; they are interesting inasmuch as they enable us to appreciate the degree of mental cultivation to which the Japanese have attained, but wbich, from these specimens ) we should not be disposed to rate very highly. The latter half of the volume is chiefly occu pied with the details of the interminable cere monies practised at marriages and funerals, which prove how completely the Japanese are the creatures of etiquette. The numerous plates- at tached to this part of the work, copied from ori ginal Japanese designs, furnish accurate notions of the costume and domestic economy of these singular people. Two of these plates; of great length, exhibit a striking representation of-the funeral pomp, pride, and circumstance, atthd ing the obsequies of persons of some distinction. To this part is appended the description of a powder, the application of which is said to' give flexibility to the limbs after death, but whose composition is kept a profound secret. We are certain that we need not dilate farther on the contents of this volume, in order to recom mend it to the attention of every inquisitive mind that wishes for a better acquaintance with a. na tion which has long and studiously kept itself secluded from the rest of the world. We therefore, merely add that the nature of the . em bellishments, -which are very showy, and the prieral style of the work, qualify it for a pla& in any library.
