FINE ARTS.

DEATH OF MR. R. VERNON.
We have to lament the death of Mr. Vernon, the
munificent donor of modern pictures now belonging ,
to the nation. He died at his residence in Pall Mall,
the walls of which he had spent the better part of his
1 life in adorning. Well do we remember the pleasure
of a first admission by. ticket into this sanctum, the
quiet wonder and enjoyment of each successive pie-
tare ; every illustrious name was worthily repre-
sented, every work admitting a doubt of its excel-
lence was weeded, the consequence was that the
mind was strong for admiration. Wander as one
might through these apartments, it was only to make
new discoveries and experience new thoughts, with-
out fatigue or satiety. This was, however,
a selfish gratification which Mr. Vernon re-
solved to communicate to all Englishmen. His
doors were thrown open, in the fu'filment
of this desire, to the crowds who thus acknowledged
that they felt the deep obligation in the only and
best way they could, by flocking to his house. More
backward were the responsible part of the people in
doing so; and it is to be feared that, although the
health of Mr. Vernon was feeble, vexation and annoy-
ance, at the way he wag treated may have tended to
accelerate the end of his useful life. Indeed this was
one of the chief reasons of the sudden removal of the
pictures from his residence to the Royal Academy,
not being able to keep up against the turmoil of
the erowd, which made the walls groan under their

weight.
It we are to judge by the standard of the oiggard-
lineu of parliamentary grants, the nation would have
been half &century betore it could have accomplished
what Mr. Vernon has done. It wu ever his maxim
to seek oat the artists themselves, and never to take
chefs-d'oeuvre at second hand.

who still hoar is their mind's retina, 'end that is the case
with all who visited last year's Academy Exhibition, the im-
pression of that tender scene between a poor stricken hind
and its foal seeking its wonted sustenance, may view with
interest the extension of its pathos by the clever graver of
Mr. C. Lewin This mezzotint of " The Random Shot,"
though in its first stage only, faithfully renders all the fine
points of the original, with which it challenges comparison.

THE IRISH FAMINE.

Mr. MONSELL, on the part of the noble lord the mem-
bee for Arundel, who had been struck with horror at the
recent accounts from Ireland, begged to ask whether any
detailed accounts of the state of the dirreseed districts in
that country would be furnished to the house previous to the
heidays.
Sir G. GREY said that all the information in the towe-
d= of government bad been already laid on the table, but
another series was expected containing an account of the ad-
ditional sums that had racen*ly been sent to Deland.
IRISH POOR LAW.
In answer to Mr. STAFFORD,
Lord J. RUSSELL stared that he intended to take the
Irish Poor Law on the 4th June, and the Incumbered Es-
tates Bill on the Bth.

Lord J. RUSSELL moved that the house at its rising do

ROMAN STATES: —M. Forbin Janson arrived at

terms of a treaty between the French and the Romans.
On this subject the Mkts of yesterday morning

It was stated yesterday that news had been received at
Paris of the eonclusion of an armistice between the Roman
soverameat and General Onclinot, bet we have not learnt
the terms. We =meetly hope that the pontillml court of
Gaeta will make some sacrifices to the spirit of conciliation ;
for we have daily from the correspondence between
Bans sad the nicts jeers= of Florence, Lem, Genoa,

PARIS, FRIDAY, 6.50 r.x.
The Assembly to-day resumed the discussion on
the demand foe a committee of inquiry on the con-
duct of Oeneral Changsrnier. M. Trelat started with
a diaquisition on the ateliers nalansaux, which brought
M. July to the tribune, to complain of the manner m
which the debate was allowed to wander from its

subject matter.
Mortimer Teutons caused much amusement by
quotiog from a speech made by M. Joly in 1830, in
which he called Louis Philippe the fatter of his
country, and declared hie love for the house of Or-
leans and his Gammon to a constitutional monuchy.
It is generally. supposed that the demand for A com-
mittee of inquiry will be negatived.

MONEY MARKET.

FRIDAY El-ENING.
The operations in the English funds to-day were
confirmatory of the opinions generally entertained of
an advance, and to which we have occulionally
referred during the last few days. Consols for
account were first done at 921, then at 1, and last at
93, closing at 93 to 93} firm. For money they were
done at 921, 3, and 92.1. The Three per Cents. Re-
duced were done at 921, t, and last at 93. The
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents, were only slightly
dealt in at 93i, and last at 93/. The negotiations
were not large, but the tone of the market was rather
buoyant, and closed with every symptom of a further
improvement.

THE NATIONAL LAND SCHEME.

Ttc following communication, from an intelligent
corresponden,, poioessed of ample experience in mai
affairs, requ'res no explanatory comment " Herrings-
gate is another babble that will shortly burst. The
fact is that no rent Las b en, and none I believe ever
will be, paid. There are 33 allotments—from two to
four acres each—and upon each of the latter, including
a dwelling-house, about 3001. has been expended. Now,
at 33 per cent, the rent would be 10 guineas per an-
num. No rent has been paid for three years—this is
the fourth year ; and if it should be exacted, the whole
of the crops, goats, pigs, &c., would be required to
Fay it, leaving the poor settler in a state of complete
destitution. Several allottera have run away ; and
one or more of the allot cents are had by absentees,
the we -ds growing on the uncul,ivated spots havirg
been cut and secured as a great prise. It seeme
that O'Connor despairs of the scheme, and has not
visited them for more than a year."

LAMBETH.

FATAL ACCIDENT. Ty Perkins, the eon of a master
drover, aged 16, was charged with causing the death of
David Erna er Moor, a tine boy, nearly 6 years of age.
From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner, between
12 and 1 o'clock on that day, was driving a cart belonging
to his father al .ng Providence-street, Walworth-common,
when the deceased, who wee engaged in Hying his kite, and
in going backwards, with hie eye intent on his kite, came
right before the wheel of the vehicle. The result Was that
he was knocked down, and the wheel of the cart crushed
him is a frightful manner. So seri.us were the injuries he
received, that he expired in a few minutes.
The prisoner, who cried bitterly during the examination,
was remolded to await the coroner's inquest, but was ad-
mitted to bail.

THE POLICE COURTS.

BoW-sTuEET.

CHARGE or FORGERY.—F. E. Broderip, late clerk In
the service of Messrs. Few aad Dukes, solicitora, of Hen-
rietta-street, Covent-garden, was brought up for final ex-
amination on three distinct charges of forgery.
Mr. W. Britten, bookseller, of Russell-court, Drury-lane,
having examined a cheque produced for 101.. stated that to
the best of his belief it was presented to Lim by the prisoner,
who said that he had a cheque, and was too late to get it
cashed at the banker's. Witness, having no doubt that it
was genuine, gave him two 51. notes and took the the que.
The prisoner, in his presence, wrote " Richard Barker ' on
the beck. Witness did not immediately present it for pay-
ment, but, having made inquiries at the offices of the prose.
tutors he ascertained that the prisoner had left their service.
The prisoner was fully committed for trial.
Another charge of forgery, to the amount of 471., on the
prisoner'e late employees, was also preferred.
Mr. James Duplan said that he was a clerk in the London
Joint Stock Bank, the office of which was in Pall-mall,
where Mews. Few and Co. kept an account. 0.1 the 18th
June the cheque produced was presented to him at the
counter by a parson he did not know, and he cashed it with
a 401. note, two sovereigns, and a 61. note.
Mr. Samuel Miller, a clerk in the Bank of England, said
that on the 18th of June a 401. note was presented to him,
for which he gave cash in gold. The names of Mews. Jen-
kinson, &within, and Jenkinson, of Lombard ►treet, was
indorsed on the back, but he did not know by whom.
A cashier from the London Joint Stock Bank proved that
on t►e 16th June the order produced, purporting to be from
Messrs. Few, fir a cheque book, was brought to him, and he
accordingly delivered a book. The cheque produced was
taken from that book, but he could net say to whom he
delivered it.

Mr. Dukes said that neither the signature to the cheque
nor the endorsement on the note, n..r the order fur the
cherre-book was in the handwriting of any of the firm; and,
to his belief each was written by the prisoner.
Mr. Rowland Peacock, clerk to Mmes. Jenkinsan, &e.,
proved that the writing 0..1 the different documents produced
were in the handwriting of the t risoner.
Toe prisoner was again committed for trial.
Another charge was also gone into, on which the prisoner
was a third time committed for trial.

ROMAN STATES.—Oudinot his attempted an
imitation of the modes of the middle ages, by f,rmaly
taking possession of the keys and forwarding them
to Gaeta to be laid at the feet of the Pope. A letter
from that place, dated the 4th of July, says: " This
morning, about noon, a colonel of engineers arrived
here from the French camp, to present to the Pope
the keys of the two gates by which the French troops
entered Rome."

The negotiations for the return of the priestly
ruler of Rome to St. Peter's are said " to be pro-
needing favourably." A writer, evidently in the
Austrian interest, says :
It is believed that big holiness will immediately send a
governmental commission to Runs. It is said 'hat Pius IX.
will go to Naples to persontilly thank King Ferdinand for
his geneses' hospitality. Ris holiness will of arwards go to
Benevento, and that his intention is to wait in that place
null the commission has established a little order in affairs
at Rome. If that should occasion too long a delay, the Pops
will repair to Wilogna, and remain there until the moment
when he shall think it advisable to return to his capital.

Signor &will, has addrewed an edict, dated the 27th

NAPLES.—In the sitting of the 28th alt. of the
Chamber of Deputies of Naples, the Commission of
Finance sent in its report of de conclusions of the
mixed comm;s ion named by the two Chambers for
the purpose of agreeing on the question concerning
the collection of indirect taxes up to the 30th of
April. The commission proposed that, if the budget
were not voted by the Slit of Marsh, government
would be authorised to collect the said taxes up to
the 30th of April ; but, considering that the late vote
of the Clamber implied a want of confidence in the
premat ministry, the commiosion recommended to the
Chamber to confirm that part in the present vote. The
Chamber approved of the report by 96 votes against 9.

ROBBIRT AT TUITIWAiV7B6 7;11;1 RAILWAY STATION,
PADDINGTON.—Margaret James and G. liecholla were
brought up for re-examination, on the charge of having
stolen a box, containing property to the value of 20/ , be-
longing to Mr. John James, residing at No. 3, Phoenix-
place, Spitalfields.
The evidence already given having been read over, the
prisoners were committed for

LAMBETH.
CHARGE or MERDEII.—H. Watson, aged 3.5, who had
been for some years a waiter at the United Service Club,
war charged with the wilful murder of Louisa Charlotte
Watson, aged 18 months (his own daughter), by drowning
her in a water butt, at 21, Wood-street, Lambeth-walk, in
the parish of Lambeth.
The particulars of this very melancholy ease, which were
given in our yesterday's publication, having been de-
tailed by several witnesses, the prisoner was fully committed
for trial Ile was in so weak and wre•ched a state that he
was obliged to be assisted to the cell.
TH2 AITEIIPTZD MURDER IN DULWICH WOOD.—Ser-
geant Pritchard reported to Mr. Elliott that he had been to
the hospital to are the young woman who had been at-
tempted to be assassinated, on Wednesday night, and found
her a good deal better than on the preceding day. She was
sufficiently recovered to state to him (Pritchard) the parti-
culars
of the attack made upon her life, and other circum-
gangs in r!ferecEa 1.3 her connexion with the accused. She
said that her name is Sarah Frances Evens; that she had
been a servant, and became acquainted with the accused
about 18 months or two years ago. She stated that she had
been on terms of intimacy with the accused, and that at
present she is pregnant by him. In the early part of the
week she saw him, and he made an appointment to meet
her at Brixton Church, at 8 o'clock on the Wednesday even-
ing. She kept the appointment, and he told her he had got
a job of work at Croydon, where he wished her to accom-
pany him, and consenting to do so, he took her through
Dulwich Wood, which he said war the nearest way to the
railway station. While passing through the wood, he flung
his arm round her neck, and with the other began to cut
her throat. She struggled violently, and succeeded in taking
from him what she believed to be the blade of a knife, and
threw it away. The accused then took out a pistol, and
began to beat her about the head until the stock was broken,
but she by some way or other got from him. Her hands
were severely cut in the struggle, and though not quite out
of danger it be expected that she will recover.
