DISCOVERY OF MARBLE STATUES IN
WINDSOR FORRST.

It is often the province of a journalist to relate the
discovery of statues and other valuable works that have
lain bidden in the earth for cesturies ; and, but for such
incident, they would in all probability never have been
preserved, or descended to us. But, whenever such dra-
wee axs exhumed, the mind naturally wanders away to
the once-favoured cities of Green, and Italy, and reverie
to that period when they 1.11 before barbarism. Yet,
nras it may appear, Red it is almost herald belief,
iedeor Forest, unk• away from any habitation, for
many and many long years, have slept statues in marble
of the rarest excellence; why, or at what period such
works were, or mold be cast saide, nothing is known;
and bow they mum there la a queening equally witL-
mit a saltines : yet so it is. The first knowledge that
there weft such treasures arum from one of the wood-
men employed about the park stating his dears to
have a figure that was lying partly buried In the earth, in
one of the covers, at the same time aiding permission to
place it on his garden walk. The request was granted :
horses and chains went to work, it was drspged forth, end
in a short space of time found • pedestal and a emit of
whitewash at the woodman's home. As soon as it was placed
hie Royal Highness Prince Albert, cur wakeful to the in.
tenets of art, yet, under the eireurnstancies, never deeming
it coati be of any worth, proceeded to its new liseility,when,
to his surprise, he saw, Lithe pruzuvoced it, a work of great
beauty and value. With the taste and judgment of his
royal highness matters were not permitted to remain
here, bet going to the spot from whence the statue came,
be saw sufficient to direct tLat further search be made.
And no fewer than four other statue; • celessal group of
three figures, and numerous fragments, were revealed. It
may he here stated, that without a guide, it is almost im-
pmeible to reach the parts of the fermi where they have
been so long. But our readers will remember the statue of
his Majesty George 111. at the end of the Lam Walk. On
arriving there lb* thick wooded part has to be pene.nited.
bearing slightly to the left hand and to the distance of
about a mile, but there is no Sind of path or track in any
direction ; two miles beyond this is the nearest house. To
see them in sat • place, and at such • time, trees grow-
ing over and around them, with heed wood springing
up between, brought fueeibly to the mind Btevene's
discovery in Central America ;rt was the same picture
ru little." At this time Mr. Thornycrol% was man-
muuicated with to report upon their restoration; that
done, it was thought desirable to have them brought to
Los on, mad three of the statues, and the largest group, are
now in his studio. With the exception of one, which is a
Greek statue in Porno marble, they are all by the same
artist—Pietro Francavelia, or Latinised, Petrus Franca-
velius. Bach work is iuscribed with his name, end dated.
The subject of the great group. " Vents defending a
Nymph from a Faun," is treated most masterly. It is the
last dated of his works, and notwithstanding the oonsum•
mate knowledge it displays in composition, drawing, and
anstomy, yet there may be traced in it a slight leaping to-
ward. that affectation of grace which so disfigures and dis-
tinguishes the works of his immediate followers, by whom
the study of nature was abandoned. Her simple beauty
was indeed too homely for men to contemplate who gave
themselves op to what they misnamed idealism, but the
rimless of fancy have narrower limits than they in their
qmoranes soprani; and, as • consequeme, their concep-
tions were of • beauty which nature in her truth
anoited, and is diatempered dr. tuna, forgetting
her pure laws, they produced, as we too often see,
the fantastic and artificial graces of the drawing-room,
which so degraded art. Frammenti rose superior to all
this; he was worthy of his great master, John de Bologna ;
sad, hie statues of Mores and Aaron, at Florence, show,
be feared nut to attempt the solaria grandeur or the dignity
of Michael Angelo ; and, in °mot the figures at Mr. none
nyceoft's, the most mutilated probably, that of Benison
' forcing the hands bound behind with cords, the violent
effort to free himself gives great scope for muscular
actioa and anatomical display, of which we have
in this work an exceedingly fine emus*. One
of the statues, judging from a quiet Mat not
unusual device of a child bl'.wiag, with flowers indicated as
' mixing with the breath, the figure young In form, and
partly in repose, is, it may be presumed, intended to repre-
sent the &ohm The most perfect is the Apollo, • statue
fell of youthful beauty; he as represented kneeling with
one knee upon a rock, the right arm resting upon the lyre,
the body leaning slightly forward ; the head, surmounted
by • wreath of bays, Is turned towards the right shoulder,
as if in the act of listening; the whole action of the figure
le that of great ease and elegance. The sculptor's name
seems to hove taken various forms; the we have Franca-
Franctievilla, and Franca Villa ; he was born at
Cambay about 1538, which place he left early is life to
study in Italy, as already stated, and became the pupil of
the celebrated John de &doges. His prodnctioes are known
and prized both in France and Italy.—dri yenned.

THE POLICE COURTS.
GUILDHALL

AMA yr l'acioasioare, omnibus proprietor, sppeartd to on
information calling spun him to show cause why a dis:ress
unfold should not issue to recover a penalty ol 101. upon
• conviction in this court. about 18 month, ago, bur having
omnibus illegally constructed, which conviction had pub.
scginatty been misbrand at Quartcr 8e56104611 and in the
Court id Queen's Bunch.

The City ttelkitor attended for the cemelaMant, Mr. Roe
the summoning officer of this court ; and. Mr. Pulling' the
ber.ister apse &red for the defendant.
Mr. Mae, haring been swore, stated that he served ihe
min WWII upon the ddendant personally on the WA of the
present month.
Mr. Pulling—Do you lay the information In this case,
Mr. Ito.

The City Solicitor objected to that question being put to
Mr. Hoe, as the information was merely calling upon the
defeudsist to show came why a warrant should not issue.
Mr. Pulling said his object in salting the question was to
know if Mr. Hoe really was the Informant, and If so, to
show that information given by any person but the Solicitor
fur S:amps was invalid,aecordiug to the statute under which
these proceedings should have been taken.
Alderman Wilson said ha could not allow Mr. Roe to be
examined upon matters that took place prior to the oonvic-
two upon which the present information was Moiled. The
case had been litigated now for about a year and a half, and
they could not go into the merits of it again. He (the alder.
man) thought it was too late to question the validity of the
conviction ; the defendant was only required now to show
cause why he had not paid the line.
Mr. Pulling said this was the first stage of the present
summons, (or defendant had never been called upon before
to show cause why he bad not paid the tine, and, if the
conviction were enforced now, it would be attended
with very serious consequences, tad en action would be the
result.

Alderman Wilson said he was not to be frightened by
threats of that nature, and ordered a distress warrant to
issue.

Jain Patinas, alias WiMaas Edward ('inter, yeoman,

Mr. Wes. Kama, miller, Rochester, were brought up be-
fore Mr.lianlwiek, charged with having obtained large sums
of money from gentlemen connected with Kent, by means
of a petition falsely representing that the prisoners had been
great aulferers from the recent Goode occasioned by the
over Sowing of the Medway,
Sir Thomas Maddox, ALP. for Rochester, said the pri-
soner Pittman, and soother man not in custody, brought a
letter to him at the Clamed= Hotel, which contained •
statement of al aged losses sustained by • fanner named Bol-
an:the, neer Rochester, in cooseuenee of the recent floods.
This memorial purported to by signed by a number of res-
parable inhabitants of Rochester red the neighbourhood,
who had various sums as contributions placed against their
names. The letter was backed up by • nsemerial, which
stated that the ease of Mr. Balcombe was • mat afflicting
one, and that he deserved the sympathy of 'be public. The
memorial lad the signature of " Dr. Lewis, town clerk of
Rochester." Believing the statement in the petition, and
having faith In the authenticity of the letters handed to
him, he gave the man 101. Shortly after this be was in-
formed by the Mendicity Society that he had keen imposed
upon, and that the petitions and letters were forgeries.

HARDWARE.—bramarromast, Dec. 25.—1 n this, the
dullest of all the season of the year, ae regards the trading
concerns of this town, basin's+, Is brisker than at any
period in the course of the year joet expiring; the orders
for the home trade have come in up to the last week of the
quarter r freely r they do in busy times in the /rat week
of a new ono ; and from all we can learn there is scarcely •
manufactory which is not in full work, and in many of them
the men have the opportunity of working overtime. These
remarks apply to every principal branch. The foreign
trade continues in pretty much the lame condition last re-
ported, so that beyond these general remarks there is really
nothing at this moment worthy of more than this general
notice. A rumour bee reached as to the effect that the
DJard of Ordnance contemplate the substitution of forged
tree (straiten for markets in place of the material already
used ; and It is further alleged that the Board has already
approved the pattern of the gun ; the rumour, however,
wants confirmation; we give it without pretending that
much value attaches to it. We observe that at the Cam-
bridge-street Works, the proprietor has acceded to the
regent of his workmen that they shall leave work on
Saturday at noon ; end we have been informed that many
of the largest manufacturers are not unfavourably disposed
to this system ; but at present there is a very great obstacle
in the way of its being generally carried out, and until this
is removed, it appears tow that Saturday half-holidays
will be exceptions rather than the rule. For a long time
past it has teem the custom of merchants and factors to pay I
accounts to the manufacturers on a Saturday morning on ;1
this is the regulation that must he altered, and some other
day deed for the purpose, before the workmen's half-
holiday ma be folly recognised by all. The circumstanceswhich reader the change to which we have referred neon.
eery will be admitted by all who are familiar with matters
eammeeted with the mode in which the Birmingham trade is
smileless. That this Saturday holiday would ultimately
be Memded with beneficial results, so far es the workmen
ere eansailed, there is very little doubt; neither would the
amantastaren be Inconveuteeced or losers in anyway ; for
as the teen wO4 generally speaking, make a certain sum
weekly aid ma more, the holiday at the end of the week
will be an inducement to a great many to give up the
" Saint " Monday celebrations, which is likely to benefit
tit !ir employers rather than otherwise. It will take some
time to bring the system into operation, but there is very
little doubt of its being ultimately carried fully into effect.

WatauroYD, Dee. 24.—There has been but a moderate
supply of home-grown grain at market since Saturday last,
and from abroad the arrivals are very limited, consisting of
only 2,000 qrs. of Indian Corn. The trade during the
week has been quiet, but priers of all article. have been well
maintained. At this morning's market we had •
lair show of Wheat; the condition generally was
much affected by the continued damp wearher, and,
except f,r a few of the drywit samples, the extreme
quotations of last week could not be obtained.
Barley firm, at former rates. The quantity of Oats on
offer has nut been large, and holders have had no difficulty
in realising the currency of this day ee'nnight, for both
black and white. Foreign Wheat has met a fair sale
during the week, at unaltered rates; and Indian Corn has
been in moderate request, at our last quotations. Floor
sells steadily. Imports this week: Indian Corn, 2,000
qrs. Exports this week : Wheat, 41 brls. ; Barley, 126 ;
Oats, 8,290; Flour, 1,083 sacks.
