radians! a new light. Bat in this go-a-bead age people
look perhaps more to the tieing and the young. And
of the.. there is abundance to employ the curious
testar and sanguine prognosticator of future ex-

cellesce.
Perhape, indeed, the chief atUsetion of the exhibi-
tion is a new picture set down to an altogether new
name, M. Millais, who startles by bringing the be-
holder mat abruptly end vividly to the very age of
Boccaccio, so beautifully embodied by Keats in his
Isabella. The moment chosen is that in which
Isabel's lover acts humble servant at the repast, and
thus maddens her two brothers who wished to indoor
her to espouse some high noble. The figures_ are re-
lieved on a light ornamented wall, every one
telling from its accurate drawing and close observation
of nature. The positions all seem to have been caught
from life, end nevertheless boar the stamp of originality.
One of the infuriated brothers stretches forth his leg
horizontally' to kick the hound which Isabel is fond-
ling : this is perhaps WO, but may be pudoned for
its originality. The by-play of the o her personages is
%oily good •. the pose of the man wiping his sullied
is precisely what one sees every day in Italy.
The whole pietas breathes thought and suggests it
—one of the best promises for a painter. If we
mention M. Millais fleet, it is but the fair courtesy
dos to a young and promising member on his first
riling to speak.
The veteran Leslie never came forth with truer
loom than in " The Duke's Chaplain upbraiding
Den Quixote," dto. The kisser-4*r of existence was
never better done. The noble enthusiasm of the
hero, theismile of the duke, the fury of the el
sad last not least the duchess, a true Lealia=,
With dress so finely invented and colour so pretty,
se well as the pages and accessories, are marvellous.
Aeadwr small picture by Leslie brings King Henry
VIIL with maws before Witep the broad ;pin is
vontsmimeas, but is managed y.
" The Dose," by Landeser, supposed to repre-
sent the agony of a noble animal, with whose acci-
dents affair and mane he would seem as familiar as
these armors homely quadruped.. The few tones
=lgive it an air of remarkable simplicity and
e artist transports as from the sands of Africa
tothemsantainsof Soutland,and is equallyat home in
MIL * The Free Church " must have been caught on
despot fromungnarded and unsuspecting nature. The
mows bent forward listening to the word of life with
the peenlier earnestness of tottering age, the father,
the girl, and last not least, the listrung dogs, form
oils= and rivalling object'. The picture Is opaquely
pais& perhaps designedly, we allude chiefly to the
arlsdlnate figure, for nothing can exceed
the beauty of the play of light on the
aid lady, and her coarse yellow meeting.
It is with difficulty cos gets a peep at sufficient dia-
base of " The Wreck-Buoy," by Tuner. The close
ilservey baring proved offensive, in slightly dogleg
the erg one suddenly fancies oneself on the slightly
heaving ocean. The harmony, the scarcely percep-
tible change of light and shade are truly charm-
ing. " Vaasa and Adoeis" shows how this
great painter might have distinguished him-
self had he followed another of the art.
It is as a ghost of the ancient masters mime to pay a
smiling visit to our modern friends, and perhaps re-
buke them a little. The oolouring is very near being
as good as Titian ; not so the drawing. There are
some dog. painted with the nerve of Warm&
Idtty gives some of his noble flashes of colouring,
isveranng somewhat of the rural. In giving the
motto
Ostley the rose qleve, vrAlle:tis yet time,

few will sties conjuring up his favourite red cheek
and coral lip palming a flower, while a red toque is
looking on. " The Crotchet Worker "is also a beau-
tiful bit of colour. " 'three versions of the nine sub-
loot " is the happy title for the two profiles ands fell
less of a girl's head, and was probably suggested by
Vadyke's three studies of Charles L, dose that Ber-
-1 obi might make a marble representation thereof.
Thsocrt version does not aspire to the honours of
the
From the loose and pleasant vagaries of colour we
tarn to the ascetic and rigid contour of Herbert,
idiom scene from " Bing Lear " strikes one as the
elhet of a veis sod conscientious mind. The
pewee andcharacter displayed in the figures and
senatenanoes of Regan and Genera cannot be sur-
passed. Cordelia is the feeble point, and seems to be
a stereotyped visage with Mr. Herbert. " The out-
east of the people" is so sad as to be almost painful.
The sorrow depicted in the countenance of the Son of
Man, so heightened by the mournful twilight, shows
the intense catholic feeling of the painter. Mr.
Dyes, in " Omnia Vanitaa" (translated hterally, Mary'
Magdalen), isles. gloomy ! his picture is a noble study.
On seacoast and mountain lake Mr. Stanfield atanda
as usual preeminent. " Tilbury Fort, wind esahist
tide," is more than usually fresh and sparkling. Is
" Lugar," the anatomy of lake vines and their so-
comparaments are beantlolly rendered. Old pieces
of armour, as used by the " Bravi," are wonderfully
turned to account m " Salvator Ross's studio," a
mountain cavern, we presume, in the
Subisco. We also remarked a very fine study
of that unknown region Hampstead Heath,"
by G. Stanfield, who seems artfully to use
Paul Veronese "mussels eles passa." In the
simple dramas of history Masts. Elmore and
P lead the van. Seldom has the cause of the us-
e Henrietta Maria been pleaded with more
pass than in the figure of Mr. Egg's picture. The
faint image of Cbarin L serving is back-
ground to the head of the queen was a I
thought; so is that of the little Futons, awake
do arrival of De Rats with the provisions wh
smaned her from starvation. The colour is ex-
seedingly rich, and seems to possess the Murill•
tradidous. In the religious controversy of the time it
LosiisElV., Mr. Elmore deals with the stormy prisms
el the " Lesgue." The wavering and self-in terestall
assert, in whose oak-carved abode the scene takes
Ors, and women of the household, are dons with the
punter's usual felicity of style. The head of the
cardinal is very fine. The accessories are manipu-
lated with great skill.
To close a review of pictures of historical genre,
we must characterise Frith. The freshness of the
colouring and mastery over pigments are the chief
attractions of this painter. The complexions of the
w..men, the different modes of painting cloth and
silk, almost throw into shade the humour and the
-omposition.

The first and only materiel must in the declaration
stated that the defendants were eseemon carriers for hire be-
tween the Woodgate end Loadea-bridae stations, and that
the Weenie a passengerwith her loan* to be carried from
one plan to the other, and that they undertook to deliver
her luggage securely to her at the terminus, but that they
condsoned themselves so carelessly that the dressing-cam,
part of her luggage, was lost en the journey. It appeared
at the trial, that the dressiet Nee in question was placed by
• servant, who accompanied Iles. Ritherds to the Woodgate
station, under a seat in a lest -does eersiage, upon which seat
Mrs. Rieke:de, who was sa invalid, rested her het. No
prom travelled I. the same carriage with her her
meld. 'Upon the erring of the troth at the

of the peskages out of the carriage to the hackney ewe.
The amid accordingly left the railway carriage to give Mem-
lion to her mistress; but on arriving at Ma. Bish•We
houseZneer Hyde- perk, it was discovered the box was mtheing.
The ease for the plaintiff was that the box was stolen bythe
paw who took it out of the carriage at the terminus. The
jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for 1501., su4eet to the
question, which was misread for the consideraden of the
court, whether, in point of law, under the above eirsone-
steam, the action was nuintainable. A rule mid, to enter a
verdict for the defendants, pursuant to leave mimed, was
does obtained, on the ground that the defendants never be-
came responsible for the soh custody and delivery of the
- case inasmuch as it remained under the
immediate 'are and control of Mrs. Richards,
and also en the ground that the breach assigned
in the declaration was sot proved, the facts show-
ing the dreseinense was not last during the journey bet
after It MI arrived at the terminus.
Chief Sudo Wilds, in glebes judgment, said he was
of *mho Os isle proved at the trial supported the first
mart ih ihn fiesieratiou. The breach of contract coin-
plebs" ef was that the defendants did not use due and
peeper core ia and about the carriage of the dressingesse, and
that through their negligence end improper conduct
it was lost. Now, whet was the duty of common carriers,
Ma as the defendants were ? It was a warranty, safely and
merely to convey and deliver. It was immaterial whether
there was negligence or no negligence. Neeligence was
often ellectegainst common omen, but needed not to be
warranty to convey and deliver was ahmilute.
Upon this this count in the declaration the reset seemed to be,
that the lady and her dressing ease were received, to be
serried and delivered, and that the drembigeses was not
delivered, but who* _lest. All that was material in the
declaration was es by the evidease. It was suiliciently
made out that the ditoriageose was delivered to the
essipany. There was satin mere maim than for some
part of the hope, hr miamminse sake, to be put into the
ease carriage as the pessener. Where this was done
by the company's servants It did not relieve the com-
may from their liability as carriers in respect of
it. In like manner taking an article of vale* openly
and notoriously into the earns carriage es •person
travelled in did not save the company from respomiility.
It was utterly wails the case ef something carried about
and upon the person, which no doubt, was to be con-
sidered under the entire personal control and custody
of the message,. So also in the present an, the het
of the servant or agent of the lady having placed
the dressing-ease in the carriage openly sad notoriously
and without fraud, and in conformity with a muse which
custom sanctioned and, as it was to be presumed, the coo-
per), allowed, could not in any manner diminish the remora-
shWty of the sompany as mirk" end they were therefore
liable la this mdse.
Mr. Justice Cromwell expressed his concurrence is the
view taken by the lord Chief Justice, and was of opinion
the transit of the deeming-cues did not, in point of law, semi
M an end until &Away at the terminus.
Mr. Midge Waimea said he could not entirely commie
with whet had alba from his learned brothers, because be
MI mei Rink the precise form of breech of contract ems-
planed ef thisilsolention wen sustained by the facts given

In the result the rule was discharged, in conformity with
the opinion of the majority ot the court.

It this ease a very important question arms. A rule had
been obtained at cameInstan of Sir Robert in
on several
parties, to show why considerable property in the Glo-
ranges Iron and Coal Works should not be sold by the pro-
visional, assignee, under a when
order made by the court
on a creditor's petition in 1842, when Sir F. C. Knowles was
• prisoner for debt.
Mr. Nichols appeared for Sir R. Price; Mr. Sargood for
Sir F. C. Knowles ; and Kr. Norms represented a trade as.
sigsse is bankruptcy.
A preliminary objection was raised to the jurisdiction of ,
the mart. It appeared that the vesting order was made in
September, 184% and a flat in bankruptcy was betted in July,
1347, under which Sir F. C. Knowles had obtained his certi-
fies*. The property in respect to which the application was
made related to Use Oloransan Iron and Coal Worts, in which
Ok R. Price, Sir F. C. Knowles, sad B. Long, Esq., were
partsses on a apical of 42,000 i. The point was, whether this
court meld order a sale of the interest of Sir F. C. Knowles,
after his bankruptcy. It was 'Omitted that under the 39th
minks, 1 It 2 Vie esp. 110 (the Insolvent Debtors' Aet),
the Coact ot Bankniptoy had jurisdiction over the property,
sad not this smut The fiat was issued baton a day ((har-

gave his reasons at am length. His impression was, that
the jurisdiction of the mart wee gess ; but as the matter
was one of importance, he would allow it to be opened, If the
parties required teems dismiss.

The learned Contnessioner mentioned, in the course of his
olteervatiens, that the clause was copied from the act which
he (Mr. Commissioner Law) prepared in the year 1826, and
additions were made with regard to vesting orders end sp.
plications by debtors, as well le their creditors. There was
some erabignity in the expression, which was easily as-
counted for by the baste in which the sat the court now ad-
ministered (1 & 2 Vic) was prepared from the act he had
drawn. If be bad been earnestly informed, the act was
altered in about 24 hours; and, consideriag the expedition
used, he had often expressed his surprise that it bad been
doge so well.

advisable to bring the matter again under masideration. it

MONEY MARKET.

MONDAY Z•113f1110.

The returns of the Board of Trade fur the month
which ended 6th April—oompared with the corre-
sponding month last year—presented to parliament
on Friday evening were published on Saturday.
These accounts are again very satisfactory, and show
that the official value of our exports condones to be
gradually increasing upon that of last year. The
aggregate value of the exports of our own produce end
manufactures in the month ender notice is 6,36.5,6631.,
while in the same period of lut year it was
4,412,2951., showing an increase of 953,3681. in valae ;
while in the exports of foreign and colonial produce
there is likewise an increase in most of the leading
articles.

In the articles of our own manufacture, in which
there is a decrease when taken separately, the only
descriptions that need be noticed are, machinery—the
value of which, in the month of this year, is only
27,6321., against 62,8911. in the preceding year ; and
in pig iron, the export of which is only 28,1531. this
year against 73,4571. lut year, which may be easily
accounted for by the troubled state of the continent
checking manufacturing enterprise, and limiting the
wants of foreign railway companies of late.
We extract from the accounts the leading articles
both of our own and foreign exports, in the following
tables.

In the imports there continues to be a considerable
increase in the principal articles of Fain and food.
In tea, coffee, cocoa, and sugar, and in tobacco, there
is a great decrease in the quantity imported in the
particular month; but when it is borne in mind how
much more largely all those articles, with the excep-
tion of the last, were imported in the two previous
months of this year, as compared to the same period
last year, the decrease in the month ending sth April,
1849, may possibly be ascribed to the unequal distri-
bution of arrivals in that month ; and, at all events,
the quantities taken for home consumption of the ar-
ticles in question do not show so great a disparity 1
while in the articles of cocoa, tea, and tobacco there is
an increase in the deliveries over the name period d
last year. We give the leading articles of imports
and the quantities of each taken for home consump-
tion as follows:
