A. LITERARY FRAUD OF THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY —The Venerable Edward Chnrton, Archdeacon of Cleve land, has just published an interesting account of the singular literary fraud practised on the memory of Bishop Jeremy Taylor, by attributing to his authorship the well wn work entitled " Contemplation These " Contempla n the State a published in bout seventeen years afte: eath of Taylor, with a statement signed by Robert Harris, (a person who has loft no other memorial of himself,) to the effect that " left these holy contemplations in the ill purpose to aandiof i worthy fr have printed them had he lived," but without even nam ing the " worthy friend" to whom they were entrusted. -"arranty the work has been hitherto held to be remember of s ; and, although excellent in itself, the fraud no - - the mud."— I doubt was a gainful one, as the " pontemplations" under • I alma; of cours a most deli; Taylor's name becat xceedingl tions were printed and sold in the Leff century following appearance pout ten years a Archdeacon tern empire to the inrch of Rome had Churton became doubtful of its authenticity, but proof of the fraud has only just been obtained by a discovery of original in the works of Juan Eusebio Niremberg, one he most eminent writers of the Church of Spain in the nof Philip IV.

PLUNDER AND PURCHASE OF PICTURES DURING THE PENINSULAR WAR.—The fame of Spanish painters, like the honour of certain crowned heads, long suffered from their geographical position. Till the present century, little was known on this side the Pyrenees of the arts of the Peninsula. * * * But the time of their deliverance Irew nigh, Le French eagle stooped on Spain then was the wall of the catalogue of the Louvre was part of the recognise , duty of the French armies ; to form a gallery for himsel had become the mbition of almost 'ery military of the empire. The sale of the Orlearis, Calonne, and other great collections had made the acquisition of works of art fashionable in England, and had revived the spirit of the elder Arundels and Oxfords in the Carlisles and the Gowers. With the troops of Moore and Wellesley, British picture dealers took the field well armed with guineas. The Peninsula was overrun by dilettanti, who invested galleries with consummate skill, and captured altar pieces tr , -^.- Cr ^dcathe• nithant manoeuvres. ,onvents anu 'inns of art were beset by connoisseur horse or letters of ' xchange Murillos or Ca i n drals, venerable sh provided with squadrons and the priest and prebend, prior or abbot, sel dom failed to yield to the menaces of death or the temp. tations of gold. Soult at Seville, and Sebastiani at Granada, collected with unerring taste and unexampled rapacity; and having thus signalised themselves as rob bers in war became no less eminent as picture-dealers in peace. King Joseph himself showed treat iudirment and within Tesence he snatched at the last moment from the gallery of the Bourbons, as he fled from their palace at Madrid.
