Your committee be Lng . desirous to vary the proposed decorations, and cc 'mewing that Scripture subjects, as affording scope fc it the highest style of design, and as being especially e' aigible on other grounds, should by no means be ex c huded, considered that the above-named locality, in r.lich the principal compartments intended for paint ii are of considerable magnitude, would be well a dapted for such subjects. Your committee are of !pinion that the illustrations should have reference to ' ;he idea of Justice on Earth, and its development in Law and Judgment, and that the folloiving sub jeets would be appropriate :—ln the larger compart ptent, on the west side, 1, Moses bringing the Tablets bf the Law to the idolatrous Israelites. In the two smaller compartments, on the east side, 2, The Fall of Man; and 3, His condemnation to labour. On the south side, in the larger compartment, 4, The Judgment of Solomon ; and, in the two smaller, 5, The Visit of the Queen of Sheba ; and, 6, The Building of the Temple.

Twenty-eight upright narrow compartments, mea ruring 5 feet 7 inches high, by about 2 feet 6 inches wide; and twelve panels for carved work, four mes s airing 6 feet 9 inches wide by 2: feet 9 inches high, a rid eight measuring 2 feet 2 inches square. Your c ommittee considered that the six large com p artments in this locality, being at a considerable h eight, might be filled with copies in tapestry of the d efeat of the Spanish Armada, taken either in part or al together from the designs of the tapestry originally e: tisting in the House of Lords, which, your em u/ 'Wee conceived, it is of great importance to pre- - se crve, as far as possible, to the nation. The twenty ei ght upright compartments might be appropriately fil led with portraits relating to the Tudor family, viz. : -Henry VII., Queen Elizabeth of York, Arthur, p since of Wales, Queen Catherine of Aragon, Henry V 111., Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Catherine H ()ward, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Parr, Edward V Queen Mary, Philip 11., Queen Elizabeth, Prin ce ss Mary, Queen of France, Duchess of Suffolk, L ouis XII., Brandon, Duke of Suffolk; the 11 larchioness of Dorset, Lady Jane Grey, Lord G uildford Dudley, Princess Margaret, Queen of Scot ia .nd, Lady Angus, James IV., Douglas, Earl of An g' ras ; James V., Queen Mary of Guise, Mary, Queen oi f Scots ; Francois 11., and Lord Darnley. That the t ,welve panels might be filled with the following sub j ects in carved work :-1 and 2, the Camp de Drap l'Or, and the Visit of Charles V. to Henry V 111., in i;he two compartments on the east and west sides; 3, 4, and 5, the Escape of Mary Queen of Scots, the Mur der of Rizzio, and Mary looking back on France, in the three compartments on the south side, west of the door, the Escape of Mary, Queen of Scots occupying the central panel; 6,7, and 8, Queen Elizabeth knight ing Drake, Raleigh spreading his cloak as a carpet Ifor the Queen, and Raleigh landing in Virginia, in the three compartments on the south side east of the door, the subject of the knighting of Drake occupying the centre panel ; 9, 10, 11, and 12, on the north side, Edward VI. granting the charter to Christ's Hospital, Lady Jane Grey at her studies, Sebastian Cabot before Henry VII., and Catherine of Arragon pleading. THE ROYAL GALLERY. A considerable space on each side wall, measuring 77 feet 6 inches wide, not being subdivided into com partments, the committee are of opinion that such space should be occupied by one large and two smaller subjects ; the smaller corresponding in width with the dimensions of one window, and the larger com prehending the width of three windows. Of the re maining compartments defined by the architect, two on the side walls measure each 13 feet 3 inches wide by 11 feet 6 inches high ; four, on the same level, in the end walls, measure 12 feet 2 inches wide by 11 feet 6 inches high ; the six remaining compartments, three at each end, in the upper part of the walls, measure 12 feet 2 inches wide by 19 feet 7 inches high. The compartments would, therefore, be 18 in number. The committee are of opinion that the sub jects for the Royal Gallery should relate to the mili tary history and glory of the country, and that the following subjects would be appropriate : In the three upper compartment in the south wall : 1. Boadicea inciting her Army. 2. Alfred in the Camp of the Danes, and 3. Brian Boroimhe overcoming the Danes at the Bridge of Clontarff. In the three upper compartments of the north wall : 4.

In the remaining compartment on the east wall : 13. Marlborough at Blenheim. In the lower compartments on the north wall : 14. The Death of Wolfe. 15. The Death of Abercrombie.

In the corresponding compartment on the east wall : 18. Waterloo—The Meeting of Wellington and Blucher. THE QUEEN'S ROBING ROOM. Containing compartments of various dimensions, adapted for painting and decorations. The committee, influenced by the considerations before expressed as to the expediency of varying the character of the de corations proposed, are of opinion that a series of paintings, and other works of art, illustrating the legend o f King Arthur, would be appropriate in this locality ; and the committee unanimously agree to recommend to the commission, that the execution and entire superintendence of such decorations should be entrusted to Mr. Dyce, who has already executed a fresco in the House of Lords. THE GUARD ROOM. Containing two compartments, each measuring twelve feet wide by eight high. The committee con ceived that the second apartments might be filled with the following subjects :- 1. Young Talbot defending his father in battle. 2. Isabella Douglass barring the door with her arm to protect James I. of Scotland. THE LOBBY OF THE GUARD ROOM. Containing oae compartment, measuring 14 feet 5 inches high to the points of the gothic arch, by 10 feet wide. The committee have selected the subject of St. Edmund the Martyr slain by the Danes. THE NORMAN PORCH. Containing two compartments, each measuring 18 feet 2 inches high to the point of the Gothic arch, by 10 feet 10 inches wide. It was the opinion of the committee that these compartments would be appro priately filled with the two following subjects :-1. Canute reproving his Courtiers ; 2. Queen Elizabeth on the Sea-side after the Defeat of the Spanish Ar mada. The committee conceived that the subjects in all the localities mentio n ed should be accompanied with inscriptions, and in some instances with appro priate mottoes ; that in the last-named subject the motto might be, " Afflavit Deus et dissipantur," and in the subject of Canute " N e mo Dominus nisi Deus." THE PEERS' AND COMMONS' REFRESH MENT ROOMS. Containing compartments of various dimensions, might, in the op inion of the committee, be decorated with views of remar kable places in the British dominion, such places bei n g selected with a view to their historical importa nce ; such as views of London, Edinburgh, Dublin, Stirling, Cork, Waterford, Glas gow, Liverpool, York, Dover, Portsmouth, Plymouth, Oxford, Cambridge, Madras, Bombay,Calcutta, Delhi, Quebec, Malta Gibraltar, Cape Town, Kingstown in Jamaica, Hong-kong, &c. ; also subjects relating to the chase, the harvest, &c. THE CONFERENCE HALL ON THE RIVER FRONT, NOW CALLED " THE PAINTED CHAMBER." Containing 15 compartments adapted for paint ing; two on the east side, measuring 10 feet 4 inches high, by 7 feet 4 inches wide ; five on the west side, the centre compratment measuring 10 feet 4 inches high, by 16 feet 4 inches wide. Two com partments next the corners, measuring 10 feet 4 inches high, by 9 feet wide; and the two over the doors measuring 4 feet 6 inches high, by 6 feet 9 inches wide. Three on the north side, the centre compartment measuring 10 feet 4 inches high, by 14 feet 3 inches wide ' • and two small er compartments, each measuring 7 feet 10 inches high, by 4 feet 8 inches wide ; and the three on the south side, corre sponding with those on the north side. The committee conceived that the subjects for painting in this locality might have reference to the acquisition of the countries, colonies, and important places constituting the British empire ; and that the following subjects would be appropriate :—ln the centre compartment on the west side-1. The mar riage of Strongbow and Eva, daughter of Dermot, King of Leinster. In the centre compartment on the south side—i). Edward I. presenting his infant son to the Welsh as their Prince. In the centre compartment:on the north side-3. James VI. of Scotland receiving the news of the Death of Queen Elizabeth; or, Setting out for England as Jame I. In the two compartments next the corners, on the west side-4. Lord Clive receiving a Grant of Terri tory from the Mogul. 5. Penn's Treaty with the American Indians. In the two compartments on the east side-6. The Colonisation of Australia. 7. The Treaty of Nankin. In the two compartments over the door, on the west side-8 and 9. Incidents illustrating the Voyag: s to the North and South Poles. In the small compartments on the north side-10 and 11. Incidents relating to the acquisition of St. Helena and the Cape of Good Hope. In the two small compartments on the north side -12. Sir George Rooke planting his Standard on Gib raltar. 13. The Surrender of Malta. The entrance from Old Palace-yard, is also in tended to contain some compartments for painting, but the committee conceive that it would be proper to postpone the consideration of subjects for that locality, as it is not yet certain whether paintings can be seen in it to sufficient advantage. With regard to the technical method in which the paintings proposed should be executed, the ecmmittee, although not pre pared to offer a general recommendation on that sub ject, are of opinion that the pictures in the three cor ridors leading from the centre hall, and the pictures in the refreshment rooms should be painted in oil ; and that the Queen's Robing-room, St. Stephen's Hall, and the Royal Gallery should be painted in fresco. The representation of the four patron saints, from their size and situation, might be advantageously executed in mosiac, like the four Evangelists in the pendentives of the cupola of St. Peter's, thus giving an opportunity for the introduction into England of an art highly valued in other times and countries. The committee have further to observe, that move able oil paintings, not coming within the general plan proposed, might be placed in committee-rooms and in other parts of the building.

THE COMMISSION OF FINE ARTS• We are enabled to anticipate an important report of the committee appointed by the Commissioners of Fine Arts to select subjects in painting, with a view to the future decoration of the Palace at West minster. The committee have just brought their labours to a close, and their report has been privately circulated among the members of the commission only. The document is not only of great public in terest, but of the highest importance to British artists, for the committee have so clearly defined the subjects for the paintings which are intended to adorn that magnificent structure, that the size of every compartment intended to be so decorated is accu rately given. The report commences by stating that the com• mittee was appointed by the Commissioners to con sider a general plan for the selection of subjects in painting, for the various apartments of the Palace at Westminster, agreeable to the orders of the Commis sioners, in their sixth report to her Majesty, in the following words : _ " In accordance with the principles which have already guided us'in deciding on the plan of decora tion in the House of Lords—viz., with reference to fresco paintings, stained windows, and statues pro posed for St. Stephen's Porch, St. Stephen's Hall, and the royal approaches, we conceive it to be the duty of this commission, for the better guidance of present and future artists, and in order to maintain a cha racter of harmony and unity worthy of such a build ing, to determine a complete scheme for the future decoration of the Palace. We are of opinion, in de termining such a scheme, the especial destination of each portion of the building should be attended to ; that in the selection of subjects the chief object to be regarded should be the expression of some specific idea ; and the second, its illustration by means of some well-known historic or poetic incident adapted for representation in painting.' The remainder of the document we give at length. The duty which has devolved on the committee being thus defined, their labours have been di rected to the selection of subjects in accordance with the plan above explained. They have for the present given their attention to subjects in painting ; a considerable number of names of distin guished persons to whom statues might with pro priety be erected having been before proposed, and of these some have been selected by former committees for particular localities. ST. STEPHEN'S PORCH. Containing two compartments, one measuring 26 feet high (to the point of the gothic arch) by 16 feet 8 inches wide ; the other measuring 18 feet 3 inches high, to the point of the arch, by 11 feet 4 inches wide. The statues of Marlborough and Nelson have already been recommended by the commission to be placed in this porch; and your committee are of opinion that the subjects of Peace and War would be appropriate to the two compartments intended for paintings. ST. STEPHEN'S HALL. Containing on the side walls eight compartments, each measuring 14 feet 5 inches wide, by 9 feet 8 inches high ; and two end compartments, one mea suring 20 feet 9 inches high to the point of the arch by 11 feet 6 inches wide; the other measuring 17 feet 6 inches high to the point of the arch, by 11 feet 3 inches wide. An opinion has before been ex pressed by the commission generally that, as St. Stephen's Hall stands on the spot where the House of Commons was, during many centuries, in the habit of assembling, it should be adorned with sta tues of men who rose to eminence by the eloquence and abilities which they displayed in that House. Twelve personages selected on this principle were accordingly named in the fourth report of the Com missioners to her Majesty. Your committee con• ceived that the walls might properly be decorated with paintings illustrating some of the greatest epochs in our constitutional, social, and ecclesiastical his tory, from the time when the Anglo-Saxon nation embraced Christianity to the accession of the House of Stuart; and that the following subjects would be well adapted for this purpose :- 1. In the State,—A sitting in the Wittena-gemot ; the homage of the Barons to William the Conqueror ; the first writ for the election of Representatives brought down to the city of London; Stanley and Oxford crowning Henry VII. over the dead body of Richard III.; the termination of the baronial wars. For the Side Compartments.—An early trial by jury; the signing of Magna Charta; the abolition of villeinage ; the privileges of the House of Commons asserted by Sir T. More against Cardinal Wolsey. 2. In the Church.—For the End Compartments. — West End.—The preaching of St. Augustine ; the introduction of Christianity. East End.—Queen Elizabeth receiving the Bible in Cheapside; the Reformation. THE CENTRAL HALL. Containing four compartments, each measuring 17 feet 7 inches high, to the point of the gothic arch, by 12 feet 7 inches wide; and three small panels under neath three of the large compartments, each mea suring 5 feet 5 inches high to the point of the ar ch, by about 4 feet 6 inches wide. Your committee , b e aring in mind that this hall is the central point of - the whole building, were of opinion that the na tionality of the component parts of the United King dom should be the idea here illustrated, and would be appropriately expressed by the representation of the four patron saints—St. George, St. Andrew, St. Patrick, and St. David, in the four compartments, intended for painting ; and that in the three small spaces underneath three of the compartments, the he raldic emblazoning of the Orders of the Garter, the Thistle, and of St. Patrick, might be introduced. CORRIDORS FROM THE CENTRAL HALL. Consisting of the Peers' Corridor, the Commons' Corridor, and the Central or P u bli c Corridor. The committee are of opinion that corridors which join the two Houses might properly be decorated with paintings illustrative of the great contest which com menced with the meeting of the Long Parliament, and terminated in 1689. It will be seen that the subjects have been selected on the principle of paral ellism, and that an attempt has been made to do justice to the heroic virtues which were displayed on both sides. THE PEERS' CORRIDOR. Containing eight compartments intended for paint ings, each measuring 9 feet 6 inches wide by 7 feet high :—Charles I. erecting his standard at Notting ham ; Speaker Lenthal asserting the privileges of the Commons against Charles 1., when the attempt was made to seize the five Members; Basing House defended by the Cavaliers against the Parliamentary army ; the setting out of the Train Bands from London to raise the siege of Gloucester; the Expul sion of the Fellows of a College at Oxford for re fusing to sign the Covenant; the Embarkation of a Puritan Family for New England ; the Burial of Charles I.; and the Parting of Lord and Lady Russell. THE COMMONS' CORRIDOR. Containing eight compartments intended for paint ings, each measuring 7 feet 93- inches wide by 6 feet 9 inches high :—Charles 11. assisted in his escape by Mrs. Lane ; Alice Lisle concealing the fugitives after the Battle of Sedgemoor ; the Executioner tying Wishart's book round the neck of Montrose ; the Sleep of Argyll; Monk declaring for a free Parlia. ment ; the Acquittal of the Seven Bishops; the Land ing of Charles H.; the Lords and Commons present ing the Crown to William and Mary in the Ban quetting-house. THE CENTRAL CORRIDOR. Containing six compartments, each measuring 8 feet 9 inches high by 7 feet wide. The paintings in St. Stephen's Hall, and in the corridors which join the two Houses, illustrate the gradual progress of our institutions during the interval which elapsed between the introduction of Christianity and the Revolution. It has been thought that the central corridor might with advantage be adorned with paintings exhibiting in strong contrast the extremes which are sepa rated by that interval. With this view, six subjects have been selected ; in three, Britain appears much in ignorance, s lavery, and heathen supersfition ; in the other three :he appears instructing the savage, libe rating the slave, and abolishing barbarous rites, simi lar to those she:once practised, viz.:—The Phoenicians in Cornwall ; Cook in Otaheite ; a Druidical Sacri fice ; English Authorities stopping the sacrifice of a Suttee; Anglo-Saxon Captives exposed for Sale in the Market-place at Rome ; and the Emancipation of the Negro Slaves. THE UPPER WAITING HALL. The subjects for six (out of eight) compartments in this locality have be en p ro p osed to be selected from following the poetsDryden, and: -- Pope Chaucer,; the Spe choice nse of such Spenser, Shakspere, Milton, sub jects being left to the artists appointed or to be ap pointed to execute them, after they have been ap proved by the Commissioners. THE HOUSE OF PEERS. The subjects for the six compartments intended for painting,, and the selection of historical personages proposed for statues to be placed in the 18 niches as well as the decorations for the stained windows, have been determined by former committees. EXPERIMENTS WITH LIFE PRE- SERVERS. A series of highly interesting experiments were yesterday made upon the Serpentine in Hyde Park, in the presence of several of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, and an immense assemblage of persons, some of whom were well known as taking a deep interest in nautical matters. The experiments were made for the purpose of testing the efficiency of a recent invention, which has received the name of the " Nautilus Life Preserver." The first test ap plied was that of attaching "the tubes" to a common sized boat, and withdrawing a number of plugs from the bottom and sides, leaving the boat to fill with water. Nothwithstanding this great weight and that of six persons who were on board at the same time, the boat still preserved its buoyancy, and was rowed for a considerable period round the water, all efforts to attempt to capsize or sink the boat appearing perfectly futile. A number of the air tubes were then linked together in an incredibly short space of time, for the purpose of forming a raft, which sustained the weight of as Many persons as could possibly crowd themselves upon it, and at the same time was easily managed. The " Nautilus Life Preserver" was then applied to several persons, armed with which they leaped into the water, and were, without the slightest exertion on their parts, sustained breast high in the water; one of these belts was of sufficient power to bear the weight of three persons in the water. The extreme portability of the article in question must be a great desideratum, it being capable of being compressed into a space not larger than an ordinary-sized circular snuff-box, and could be carried with perfect ease in the pocket. The celerity, also, with which it can be made ready for use must tend to enhance considerably the merits of the in vention ; for while other inventions tending to pre serve life from drowning necessarily require a consi derable time for the purpose of their being properly adjusted to the person, by means of numerous straps and buckles, and some indeed requiring to be inflated previous to use by considerable exertion of the lungs, the whole period required for pre paring and adapting this for use does not exceed four seconds. By means of a spring the belt is caused to elongate itself to the required dimensions, and a small valve at the top being pressed down causes the interior immediately to fill with atmospheric air. The tube thus filled is then drawn round the body, the two ends secured by means of a spring clasp, and thus equipped the wehrer may float about at his leisure, fearless and careless of the watery element. The invention appears to us a highly use ful one, and one that if generally adopted would have the effect of saving numbers of lives, and of mitigat ing to an incalculable extent those horrors attendant upon shipwrecks, the accounts of which are so fre quently brought before the public.

THE LATE MURDER OF A CHILD BY ITS MOTHER. prisoner, Ellen Tuxford, was again brought up ...—LOUTH, LINCOLNSHIRE, SEPT. 9.--Yesterday , the to the Town Hall, before the Rev. W. Smythe and F. W. Wel fit, Esq., charged with the wilful murder of her illegiti mate daughter. The evidence was very similar to that adduced at the inquest, no additional fact of importance being elicited. The Bench, after going over the whole of the evidence, fully committed the prisoner to take her trial at the next Lincoln Assizes for the wilful murder of her child. Upon hearing the decision of the magis trates, the prisoner said, " A many persons seemed to bother their heads about the matter; she did not, and ,herefore she cutild no see why anybody else should." THE DUTCH FLEET.—On Monday, soon after 11 o'clock, the crews of the ship, of war composing the squadron might be seen busily preparing for departure. A royal salute, discharged about twelve, announced that all was ready, and in a short time the whole fleet had spread their swelling sails, and were steering in line past Incbkeith. Another salute then boomed through the air, which was promptly ret.urned from Leith Fort, and the noble vessels steadily glided away before a light rippling breeze.

The Mayor of the place sent his Lordship a public acknowledgment of gratitude.— Galignani. FIRE IN THE BLACKFRIARS-ROAD.—Last night, about a quarter past ten o'clock, a fire broke out in the midst of a large clump of wooden premises, situate in Cross•street, Blackfriars-road. That part in which the fire began was in the occupation of Mr. Nash, a cooper. Owing to the highly combustible nature of the stock-in trade, hardly five minutes elapsed before the cooperage and all it contained were enveloped in flames. Before eleven o'clock, however, the flames were entirely extin guished; not, however, until the cooperage was levelled with the ground, and the contents destroyed. The sur rounding buildings, owing to the exertions of the fire men, escaped with trifling damage. The origin of the fire is unknown. The sufferer, it is understood, was un insured, but the building was protected by a policy in the West of England office. CONFLAGRATION AT BANSTEAD.—Yesterday after noon, shortly after two o'clock, a fire of a most alarming and destructive character broke out upon the estate belonging to Mr. Kennard, miller and farmer, situate at Banstead, about ,16 miles from London. When first perceived the flames had obtained a firm hold of one of the ricks standing upon the homestead, and although every exertion was made to extinguish them, owing to the strong wind they extended with frightful rapidity, seizing upon rick atter rick until the greater portion of those standing on the ground presented one immense sheet of fire. On the opposite side to which the wind was blowing stood the spacious mill, thrashing-houses, and barns, and up to seven o'clock last evening none of these buildings had become ignited. At eight o'clock the flames were ascending so high that the h t neighbour hood, for miles round, was illuminated to f such an that the village churches and other lo ty st o d ere then entertained lest the work of destruction should ex tend • Seeing the alarming progress the brought out in bold relief, and the great fears to the mills. fire was making, an exp ress was sent to the London of the fire engine stations, with intelli g ence disaster, b u t owing to there being no water nearer than three miles to the scene of conflagration, the engines were not dis patched thither, but a body of firemen were sent down to take charge of the salvage. POCKET PICKING . A res p ectabl e young man had occasion to attend a meet i ng of a of which he is a m em b er, an d , on thehonio'clockn Wednesdayoibetween twelve and one o morning last, on p ass i ng St. Clements- hsl Church, ivsciinergteytiun r ity ininn Pimlico, the Strand, a middle-aged person of gentle manly appearance hailed what seemed: to be a return cab, which immediately pulled up, and the gentleman, on getting in, called t o th e young man,v:to which he wishing to know where he was goine The gentleman stated th a t to b e the placeansweord of his and kindly asked hi m to h ave a ride as they were both going the same way, and he wished for company , a l s o promising that th e r id e would not cost h i m an ything. He immediately Pimlico. abode. accepted the offer, and while proceeding on their journey got so interested in conversation that he took no notice of the road they were taking. After ;bout three-quarters of an hours ride the cabman pulled up, and told them they were at Pimlico. The young man got out, thanked the gentleman, and bade him good morning, when the cabman instantly turned his horse towards town, and drove off at a rapid rate, leaving him in the Wandsworth -road instead of Pimlico. A policeman happening to be at the corner of the street where be alighted, on being told of his mistake, asked whether his money was all right, and on feeling his pockets found it was gone. The policeman made after the cab directly, but all pursuit was useless, and it was noticed that the cab had no number. Th e amount o f m oney taken was 15 s. 2,id., leaving him without a farthing to pass the bridge, and compelling him to walk all the way to Westminster-bridge before he could cross the water. SINGULAR FIRES.—On Monday night, Mr. Dud field, carrier, of Bath, dropped a spark from a candle in a drawer, containing 3001. in bank notes. He shut the drawer, ignorant of the mischief, and on opening it the next morning found all the notes destroyed. A fire from a similar cause took place the same night at the shop of Mr. Estill Croker, Stall-street, which destroyed nearly all the stock in the shop. • . 1 11° 1 d pi fll
