THE FINE ARTS NEW ENGRAVINGS the First after parting with his Children. ..ohn Bridges, Esq. Engraved by Samuel Bellin , rected by Mary Parkes. Published by Mary Parkes, Gol den-square, London : G. Linnecar, Liverpool. Some time ago we nad the pleasure of noticing the spi rited etching of this work, from an original painting by Mr. Bridges, in the possession of Mr. Stockdale, of this town. The promise of excellence that that etching gave, has been fully kept. There has not been in this instance, as in many other worldly matters, A promise to the ear broken to the hope ; but one of the most exquisite of modern mezzotints has come from the plate, to delight and excite the admiration qf,those who hail every acquisition to their portfolios of this descrip- tion with pleasure. We may as well briefly describe this fine work, as it not only deserves our warmest commendation as a specimen of art, but from its claims as a record of an historical event, proved the forerunner of great changes in the annals It will be remembered that the King, the ~ons to his execution, took leave of his children Duke of Gloucester and Princess Elizabeth) in presence le Bishop of London. His parting injunctions* are eyed almost literally in the following poem, Wb , n the prospectus of the work : his countr HARI.ES THE FIRST AFTER PARTING WITH II CHILDREN BY JAMES STONBROVSE The royal sire bath said " Farewell !

It is a large work and contains sixteen principal figures, as well as others of an inferior character. The subject is taken from Sir Walter Scott's novel of The Abbot, 2 vol., page 336, where the battle of Langside is so powerfully, though briefly, described—where Douglas, in a suit of black armour, is said to have followed Mary Stuart, like her shadow, to watch over and protect her. In an encounter with Sir Halbert Glendin ning the Douglas was mortally wounded. Sir Halbert, after having been made prisoner by Roland Grzeme, witnesses the death of Douglas under the vew tree.which Mary sobeautifully s made to apostrophise said, as if at the sight of it she had and had overcome t ately tree )een wrapt away from the presset her at the first approach to Cr standest horror which had op- kstone, " there thou ad goodly as ever, though thou hearest th I last greeted thee—love and lover—vows and vow and kingdom The picture must prove of thrilling interest to all, but more especially to the readers of Scott's inimitable tal H ere are set before them figures like life, which their " mind's eyc only can have drawn. Here in the centre, he very keystone to the scene, is the lovely, unhappy, and unfortunate Mary— " one that loved not wisely then endeavoured to show that the church had originally been built and endowed for the use of all classes of the com munity—that pews were not known in the primitive Christian churches, nor until the sixteenth century of Christia n ity, an d they had consequently been used only 200 years in this Christian country. (Hear.) He said that pews were in convenient for standing, sitting, and kneeling—and square pews were more inconvenient than others, People placed opposite each other must look at each other—at any rate it was frequently the case--and if anything curious or comical happened to pass, giggling and unseemly conduct took place, which ought not to be, and which could not be, if open benches were substituted. He had heard it stated that the introduction of benches would create much confushion in the church, but be concluded that it would not—and if the alter ation made every man stand up during worship, where the rubric stated he should stand up, it would be desirable, and that " confusion " would be more like Christian unanimity than anything else, much more so than at present, when many sat when they ought to kneel, and knelt when they ought to sit. To say the new arrangement would be the means. of separating individual members of families from each other, was saying that which was not correct. It could do no such thing, for if some members of families went into one bench, the remainder of which was filled up, the great probability was, that those who were late would only have to seat themselves in the bench behind, which could not be called a separation. (Hear.) Nor could there, even if one portion were in another, be any confusion in coming out of church. So far, then, so good. (Hear, hear.) His proposition would be thus—That, in the opinion of that meeting, it was ex pedient the pews be removed and benches substituted, and with this view a committee be appointed, with minister and parochial officers, for deciding on the best mode of carrying that object into effect, and that the committee report on the subject at a vestry meeting to be called at Easter next. The Chairman said, it was necessary that the parish should know what it really was now called upon to confirm or reject. He begged to say that the proposition of making the pews free, which was carried, was illegal, and could not be carried into effect, and was in itself null and void. (Hear, hear.) If the meeting were not aware of the law of the case, he would state to them that the body of a church was vested in the the parishioners. He did not, therefore, hold it to be right that this power which they possessed should be taken away from them (Hear.) Nor did he think that the sentiments even on he present occasic respect he felt towards the gentleman who had brought the matter forward, that the meeting ought to take care what it followed and carried out. He (the chairman) was anxious for the welfare of all, and he addressed them now, not as one of their fellow parishioners merely, but as a man appointed by God to watch over their true interests. There were an infinity of arguments that might be named against the plan. In the first place it was inexpedient, for it would lead to con fusion in the church. God was a God of order, not confu sion. What could tend more to confusion in a place of pub lic worship than that wives should be separated from hus bands—husbands from wives—daughters from their natural protectors , ? What would proceed from such a system as that he could not dwell upon. God was a God of order, and appointed different ranks in the world, and it was a fallacy to say that all men in the house of God were equal. All men ought to go in a level spirit to the Church, but not in a level ling spirit. (Hear, hear.) The noblest peer of the realm should in the church be as the beggar on the dunghill in his self-abasement, and laying his head in the dust, cry he was unclean ; but he should not, in false humility, prostrate him self in an earthly sense upon an equality with those who were below him. (Hear, hear.) No, it was a fallacy to say that all men were equal, and he thought that all men who went to church would feel more uncomfortable, if huddled together and driven like sheep into a pen, than could be imagined. (Hear, hear.) Let us have reform, and order, and decency, and decorum, and then we shall have the blessing of God ac companying our endeavours to improve His worship. But let us not exhibit ourselves as a laughing-stock to the king dom at large ; let us not exhibit ourselves in such a light to the world. Let us not make our conduct a matter of regret to all really humble-minded, pious churchmen; and let us not, at the same time, exhibit ourselves as a divided flock to those of our dissenting brethren who differ from us on points of Christian doctrine. The Rev. T. Mason moved the following amendment, " that a committee be formed to take into consideration the extent of the want of church accommodation in the parish, and to consider the most eligible means of remedying the evil. This was seconded by the Rev. Mr. Edgar. Mr. E. Lawrence (vestry clerk) said if the meeting would allow him he would read the law on the subject, as laid down by Sir J. Nichol and others ; and, after stating the disposal of seats to be in the churchwardens, under the direction of the ordinary, remarked that, " Subject to faculties and pre spective rights, it is the duty of churchwardens to look to the general accommodation of the parish, consulting as far as may be all its inhabitants. The latter have a claim on the ordinary to be seated according to their rank and degree. Yearbook, 8 H. 7, 12 a. Bro. Abr. tit. Chattles, p. 11. 2 Add. R. 425. But in providing for this the churchwardens are not to overlook the claims of all the parishioners to be seated if possible. They must not therefore accommodate the higher classes beyond their real wants, to the exclusio❑ of the poorer, who are equally entitled to accommodation, though not to the same accommodation, supposing the seats not to be all equally convenient. See Fuller v. Lane, 2 Add. R. 425. Rank, extent of property, general respectability, length of inhabitancy, local situation of dwelling, number of family, and even general regularity of attendance at church, may be fairly considered by the churchwardens in deciding on the claims of applicants." Some conversation ensued as to the number of persons the church would hold, Mr. Fonnereau stating that there was only accommodation for 436 persons, whilst another gentle man stated that there was room for 489 ; but it appeared that the former gentleman had allowed twenty inches fur each person, whilst the latter had taken only eighteen. A coach man present said that government only allowed sixteen inches fur each passenger, and they called that ample accommoda tion. The average congregation was stated to be 628, and one gentleman therefore argued that there was abundant room for the persons attending, and that future proceedings were unnecessary. Mr. Fonnereau replied, and stated that in foreign cathe drals, among the Roman catholics, the benches were free. This, however, was denied by a gentleman present, who stated that the seats were locked. Ultimately the amendment was carried by a large majority, and the original motion was put and declared lost. PENANCE !—The church of Heanton Punchardon, on Sunday last, was the scene of an unusual spectacle, a young woman (a farmer's daughter) having to do penance in pursu ance of the sentence of the Ecclesiastical Court, in the cause of Martin v. Priscott ; Miss E. Martin (daughter of a tenant of Heanton Court) being the plaintiff, and Miss Agnes Priscott defendant. The ground of action was certain defamatory expressions made use of to the plaintiff's preju dice.—North Devon Journal. PRESBYTERIAN 81-CENTENARY MEETINGS.—By a let ter received from Dublin last evening, we learn that the subscription there amounted to £1,275, of which Mary's abbey congregation furnished nearly £9OO ; and we may, therefore, expect that the contribution will be very greatly increased. We also understand that the amount subscribed now exceeds £6OOO, while in many quarters the subscrip tions towards this fund has not yet commenced. A consi derable number of meetings will be held during this week; and in Friday's number we expect that we shall have to re port considerable additions.—Banner of Ulster. SCOTCH CHURCH QUESTION.—A very important circum stance has occurred in the features of this question since Sir J. Graham's letter to the Moderator was published.. On Friday last, in giving his opinion in another church case, Lord Jeffery (whose elaborate opinion in defence of the veto has beer, always held by the leaders of the dominant party in the Assembly as the best statement of their case, and of the principles on which they hold the judgments of the House of Lords to be an invasion of their independence) declared in most distinct terms, that he was now satisfied that the case had been rightly decided by the Court of Session and by the House of Lords—that the church had gone against the pro visions of the statute law of the land, and that the courts had jurisdiction to restrain that excess of power. We look on this declaration as of great importance in regard to any peti tion to parliament complaining of these judgments as against the constitution of the church, or to any intention to secede on that ground.—The Times. On Thursday last the Hon. F. Maule was inaugurated Lord Rector of Glasgow. The address is characterised by the Scottish Guardian (conservative paper) as " remarkable for its unpretending good sense and excellent feeling." In the course of it he made use of the following excellent re marks. " Lay up those treasures of knowledge, which every one who has experience of after life will inform you, that he who has done so has always found a ready resource in time of difficulty ; and that be who has failed to do so, has never failed to regret the opportunities be has lost. But, my young friends, in pursuing your studies, there is one study which, permit me to tell you, is the first and foremost of all. Thank God, in this protestant country we have had placed in our hands freely to use, as freely as it was given to men, the sacred and holy Scriptures. 0 let me entreat you, so long as the heart is soft, and takes easily the impressions that are made upon it, to hasten to engrave upon that heart the sa cred truths of the Scriptures ; for believe me that in them, when you come into the world, you will find your best sup porters in the time of doubt—your best companion in the hour of prosperity—your surest comfort should the evil time of adversity overtake you, but which I trust you will be all spared from encountering. (Great applause.) THE BISHOP OF CALCUTTA.—The following is an extract of a letter, dated October 13, 1842, from the Right Rev. Daniel Wilson, D.D., bishop of Calcutta, addressed to the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge. The letter, after giving an account of the proceedings connected with the erection of the cathedral at Calcutta, thus proceeds : I imagine to myself a crowded native audience, with a native choir, assisted by the pealing organ, in some future age, chanting `Thou art the King of Glory, 0 CHRIST.' * * * I go to visit the dioceses of Madras and Bombay, not for diocesan business, but to confer, to console, to arrange, to animate, to plan for the spiritual good of the province, to settle this branch of our reformed Apostolical Church, under God's blessing, in all its evangelical doctrine, all its primi tive and unsophisticated discipline, all its edifying church order. If it were only to rejoice each other's hearts in CHRIST JESUS once in five years, the metropolitan visita tion would have its adequate object. But I hope much more may be done in the way of an united plan or plans for the government of our diocese. I propose staying five Sundays at Madras (from November 27 to Christmas-day), and four at Bombay (from the sth to the 26th February), so as to be back at Calcutta before Easter, 1813—a voyage of seven months, and 7,500 miles. Then in October, 1843, should my life be spared, I must prosecute my third north-western visitation to Agra (which requires a distinct bishop as mud as New Zealand, or Nova Scotia, or Toronto) for eighteen grace the archbishop should lay his orders upon me, India is my scene of duty, delight, and usefulness. The excitement of a short visit would overact me at my time of life. If I can but finish my course with joy, and the ministry which I have received of the LORD JESUS, to testify the Gospel of the grace of GOD, I shall have enough. Already have Ito bless GOD for nine years and ten months health in my residence in this land of disease and death. The climate of England would, most probably, not suit me—the joy of my family would break my heart—the voyages to and fro would exhaust my remains of strength. I must not, therefore, tempt GOD, bid be content with the intercourse of letters, and the com munion pf the saints in prayer and intercession. Three years ago I was ;lent upon going home, but my feelings have been subdued, by a sense of duty, gradually since. Where should a bishop die but in his diocese? * * * * And now farewell , my dear p.'.l friends and brethren in the LORD (I have been a member 42 years.)

'Phe execution of it is beautiful : the clearness and equal dispersion of the lights, the depth and softness of the shadows, and the brilliancy of the tout ensemble, combine to render it, as we have before remarked , an acquisition to the collections of engravings of this country ; and we cannot avoid remarking, that Mrs. Parkes, the publisher and partial engraver of it, deserves the best wishes of those who take a pride in seeing anything excellent emanate from the British artist or engraver The Death of the Douglas at the Battle of Langside Painted by C. Landseer. Etched by Murray Parkes, London Mr. Linnecar has been entrusted with the exhibition of th etching of this very beautiful work, which in its present state le who fascinated, like a How ex- serpent, all that came within her ma quisitely and touchingly she reads her own fate and character c influence a few pages on, in the same work, while gazing on the fate of one of her many slaves " Thus has it been with all who loved Mary Stuart ! The royalty of Francis, the wit of Chastellar, the power and gal lantry of the gay Gordon, the melody of Rizzio, the portly form and youthful grace of Darnley, the bold address and courtly manners of Bothwell, and now the deep devoted pas sion of the noble Douglas !—nought could save them ;—they looked on the wretched Mary, and to have loved her was crime enough to deserve early death! No sooner had the victim formed a kind thought of me, than the poisoned cup, the axe and block, t he dagger, the mine, were ready to pun- sh them for castin g affection on such a wretch as I am ! The queen appears in a kneeling posture, clad in white, with a flowing mantle of velvet and ermine, by the side of the " noble Douglas," who is stretched on an ensign, looking his last on his queen, for whom he had risked all, with the most devoted loyalty, uttering, as may be supposed, his dying words. Fixing his eyes on her with an eagerness of passion which death itself could hardly subdue. "Mourn not for me," he said faintly, " but care for your own safety ; I die in mine armour as a Douglas should, and I die pitied by Mary Stuart." Sardanapalus exclaims— " 'Tis comfort still to have our last looks Fixed on lovely and loving faces." And how well might Douglas have uttered the same words ! At Douglas's feet is a noble hound, one of the veritable Landseer breed—at his head, a monk, who is dipping his hand into a helmet filled with water—at the back of the monk is Roland GrEeme, who holds, by the bridle, Al ary's favourite palfrey " Rosabelle"—a beautiful, gentle creature— which appears to look wistfully towards the group guard, wounded, fills up the foreground at the spectator's right—near him are the arms of Douglas, his sword and helmet. Near to Mary is that exquisite creation of the novelist, Lady Catherine Seyton, who holds one of Mary's hands in hers. Next to her is the Lady Fleming, wringing her hands in all the passionate utterance of grief and sorrow; next, the Abbot Ambrosius, richly clad in the vestments of his order. Behind him is a monk, with whom a knight, armed " from top to toe, from head to foot," is in , as he points with his mace to the field of battle in the distance. Old Adam Woodcock supports Sir Ilalbert Glendinning, whose hand rests upon his hip as if in pain from the shock of his late encounter with the Douglas, in which he was unhorsed; be gazes with intenseness and regret on the features of the Douglas, dying by his hand. At Glen dinning's feet is a dead soldier, his face to the earth—an aged woman is striving to lift him. Nearly in the centre of the tableau is the yew tree before mentioned, under the spreading boughs of which• Mary chose to stand " spectatress of the fight." Those peaceful boughs, brightly green in the sunlight of a May morning, o'ershadow the whole party. On the left is the distant battle ; on the right Crookstone Castle, with its square and embattled towers, where with the beloved Darnley the honeymoon was spent, and where he died—a place teeming with, to Mary, such happy and mournful memories. The middle ground is occupied by two flying horsemen, bearing the royal banner, looking back with archer of the conversation curiosity to the group. Such are the characters in the scene of an eventful drama. The management of the figures is admirable; there is no confusion : every one stands as a principal, without detracting from that which gives the main subject. The grace, loveliness, and tenderness of Mary—the manly beauty of the Douglas—the sternness of Avennel— the distress of Lady Fleming—the charms of Catherine Seyton—the elastic youth of Roland Grteme—the heartiness of old Woodcock—the venerable appearance of the eccle siastics—the feeling of grief which pervades the whole group—give the picture a truthfulness and fidelity to nature that cannot fail to be admired and acknowledged as excel lent. When completed this etching will be converted into a noble engraving—and one that must and will be eagerly sought after. It is replete with the spirit and soul of Land seer. The poetry and genius of the original have been caught by the engraver. How Sir Walter Scott would have been delighted with it ! Would that that great man had been living for Mary Parkes to have had the honour and de light of sending him a copy for his approval and acceptance ! The sale of the library of the late Marquis Wellesley pro duced between £1,200 and £1,300. LOAD H ARROWBY'S TENANTRY.—The present Lord Harrowby was at one time vexed with, perhaps, the most troublesome village in England. The little community had been for years thoroughly disorganised. Almost every la bourer was a poacher, and during the winter time there were never less than eight-and-twenty of the finest young fellows of the village doing nothing, and exacting from the parish officers what they called " relief." The noble earl cut off from one of his best farms a piece of land, and divided it amongst the labourers. Poaching ceased ; a stimulus to ho nest industry was created ; the poor-rates were relieved ; and—to shame selfish farmers as well as utilitarian philoso phers—we must ask them at what expense this was done? The parish to which we allude contains more than five thou sand acres, and only thirteen acres were appropriated to this benevolent experiment, which answered so well ; in justice to the noble earl we may add, that he has since appropriated more of his land to secure and complete the fulfilment of his intentions. DIFFICULTIES ATTENDING PICTURE DEALING.—In the Bazar St. Honore, where there was a permanent exhibition of pictures, appeared a " Descent from the Cross," attributed to Van Dyke. An Englishman offered 30,000 f. for it; but, as no less than 35,0001. would be taken, he called in M. Henry, the sworn appraiser to the Royal Museums, who, on examining it, declared it to be a copy not worth more than 150 f. or 200 f. at most. Soon afterwards the owner died; and Messrs. Perrier, having advanced money upon it and other paintings, had them sold by auction. The catalogue was drawn up by M. Henry, who put down the " Descent from the Cross " as a copy, and it was knocked down to M. War neck for 31(if. who relinquished his bargain to M. Bedotti, who gave him to boot a picture he had bought for 1801.— Bedotti sold the " Descent from the Cross" to the proprietor of the Galerie Lebrun, Rue du Gros Chenet. Here it was seen by M. Aguado, in company with several connoisseurs, including M. Lahante, the son-in-law of M. Errard, the late celebrated collector, and whose judgment in paintings was held in high estimation, and also M. George, who, on the death of M. Henry, succeeded to be one of the appraisers of the Royal Museum. They all concurred in p.ionouncing the painting to be an original Van Dyke, and M. Aguado pur chased it at 40,000.—French paper. THE LATE AFFRAY AT BEWSEY. — It appears that the name of the young man who inflicted such serious injury upon his brother, as mentioned last week, is Henry Crosby. The one who suffered, Thomas Crosby, on Saturday afternoon, wanted zo go shooting again, instead of assisting his brother in the business of the farm. Thcy had both had some drink ; and, on Henry remonstrating with his brother on the impro priety of using his gun, and neglecting other matters of more importance, the serious affray ensued.

The transactions in Wheat, confined to necessitous buyers, were upon a limited scale, merely to serve their immediate wants, and all kinds of Foreign were the turn cheaper ; whilst the best qualities of Irish hardly maintained late prices, all damp and inferior descriptions receding Id. to 2d. per 70 lbs. Of farmers' Wheat samples were rather nume rous, and very little sold, although offered on lower terms. English and Irish !lour, with a fair demand for the latter, must be noted Gd per sack, and Foreign, with a dull sale, Gd per barrel under last week's rates.

We are still very scantily supplied with all descriptions of Grain coastwise and from Ireland, and have only a moderate quantity of Flour and Oatmeal from these sources ; no fresh arrivals from abroad, and the Canadian imports may be con sidered over for the season. Speaking generally of the trade here, no animation what ever has been apparent in the demand between Tuesday last and to-day, and prices of every article have been almost nominal. Almost wholly deserted by country millers, and our local dealers remaining nearly altogether on the reserve, our mar ket this morning passed over without a single transaction of the least importance having transpired in any article of the trade ; and had sales been feasible, even upon a mode rate scale, somewhat lower terms must have been complied with generally : seeing no practical good, therefore, likely to arise by forcing business, holders continued to require for mer prices, which for Wheat and all other descriptions of grain, as well as Flour and Oatmeal, may be considered no minally unaltered. It may, however, not be improper to observe, that as the stocks in the hands of consumers are diminishing weekly, and necessity must compel them to purchase, in order to satisfy their immediate purposes, it is not unrea sonable, in the opinion of many, to anticipate at least a bet ter and more regular demand at no distant period.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, J. 28 The dull and lowering state of the London market has had a depressing effect upon the trade, and though the supply of all articles is small, and holders have shown a disposition to submit to a moderate reduction upon the quotations of our last, the tran sactions of the week have been of a very limited nature. The Wakefield and Liverpool markets of yesterday were both fiat and lower for Wheat. At our Corn Exchange this day, Wheat, both old and new, meets a very slow sale at prices ad to 3d per bushel lower than on this day week. Flour goes off slowly, and a re duction of Is per sack (and in some instances still more) is sub mitted to. Oats, especially fine qualities, being scarce, support the quotations of our last Oatmeal 3d to 6d per lb lower. - Malt and Beans as last quoted. LIVERPOOL .WOOL MARKET, JANUARY 27 The public sales of Colonial and Foreign Wool, yesterday and to.day, do not enable us to report any new feature in the trade since our circular of 2nd.lanuary. Prices and demand for Colonial Wool, steady, at rates equivalent to London December sales, but without increased activity. The demand for low Foreign Wools was flat, without any improvement on our last qnotations, 1574 Bales Australian, fine fleeces, (one lot Is I0d) is 7d to Is Sid qp• lb ; middling ditto Is 4id to Is bid; low ditto Is Id to Is 3id ; scoured Is 4id to Is 10id ; lambs s2d to Is sid ; pieces and locks lid to is Sid; unwashed :id to pd. _ 777 Bales East India, white 65d to jd ; second ditto Sid to 6d ; yellow 4id to aid ; grey 24(1 to Sid. 404 Bales Buenos Ayres, dirty and burry lid to lid; washed and unwashed, withdrawn.

To the openness of the weather, this dullness may be in a great measure attributed. Beyond the retail demand for Beef and Pork for ship stores, the Provision trade is very inactive. The consumption of Bacon has improved a little, and fine Belf4t middles are worth 38s to 40s. LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, JAN. 30. We have had a fair supply of Beasts and Sheep at this day's market.

For the last fortnight the prevading feature in our Cotton market has been anxiety on the part of holders to effect sales which has been in some instances manifested to such a great extent as to cause what are termed forced sales at very low prices. The arrivals continue to be increasingly heavy, which will not have a beneficial effect on the present tone of our market ; the only redeeming poirit is that the late advices show an advance in both prices of Cotton and rates of freight in the States, so that the profit before realised will disappear in the future imports, so that holders will rather keep back than press their stocks. The sales on Saturday were 3500, and to-day 4000 bales, and closes heavily. COTTON MARKET.—WEEKLY REPORT. The demand throughout the week bas been moderate, and prices for most descriptions have again declined id per lb, at which rates the market continues to be fully supplied, 2500 American have been taken on speculation, and 1150 American and 250 Surat for export.
