BRITISH Inarrtiston.—The annual exhibition
of the works of the old masters and deceased
British artists, at the gallery in Pall-mall,
opened to the public yesterday. The liberality
of the patrons of the British Institution in con-
tributing, year by year, their choicest art treasures
to form this exhibition, is not adequately appre-
ciated by the public. Dr. Wasgen has justly ob-
served that in a course of years a person might make
acquaintance with the noblest works of art in this
country by regularly visiting these rooms. Yet
the number of visitors through the season is
never more than a tithe of what might be
hoped and expected. The present getheriag is
of average interest. There are fewer pictures than
last year which illustrate the pre-Raphaelite era ;
but there are fine specimens of the Italian schools in
their more advanced stages of development. The
art-student and connoisseur, therefore, though he
may find few data for historical deduction, will be fur-
nished with sufficient materials for critical analysis.
To general visitors the collection will be unusually
interesting.
The sale of the valuable stud belonging to the late
Marquis of Waterford, consistiog of thorough-bred stallions,
raw-hones, steeplechase horses, horses in training, brood
mere., foals, and carriage torsos, together with a large
number of foxhounds end pointers, is announced to tete
piece at Curreglimore, on the 24th and 25th inst. The
stud, which is divided into 129 lots, comprises 143 animals,
hunters, 33 brood mere% 17 'tailbone, five carriago
horses, 18 two•yeu,olde, 23 yearlings, seven colts, and
seven filly foals.

KEEPING AN ADMIRAL FROM Tilt POLL.—Yea-
Wedgy evening an investigation took place at Cirencester
Petty Serious, before the Rev. H. Crisp. and a beach of
magistrate., into a charge preferred against Mr. Peter Ellis
Harmer, of Cirencester, and Mr. William Clark, of the
game place, liberal electors for the borough, for unlawfully
preventing Admiral Charles Talbot, the Commander-in-
. _ .

Chief on the Mali Station, from recording hie vote at the
recent election for Cirencester. Mr. W. H. Cooke, instructed
by Messer Mullings end Co., presented ; and Mr. J. J.
instructed by Mr. W. L. Cooke, defended.
The facts were briefly these :--Admiral Talbot is
a voter for Cirencester, and on the omesion to
question he loft Cork to proceed to Cirettemter,
in order to record his vote for the conservative candidate,.
The train by which he travelled from Milford Haven was
late, and he did tot reach Cirencester station until five
minutes to 4 o'clock by the railway time, which is three
minutes behind the town time, which governed the poll.
He had telegraphed to the conservative committee for a fly
to meet him, end the circumstance becoming known a
crowd had aesembied to " welcome" him. Clark, one of
the defendants, wee in the station-yard, and on the admiral
alighting from the fly, which was not allowed to leave the
yard, the gates being shut, he put his arms round hint, and
said, "11l protect the admiral.' The admiral did not leave
the yard until past 4 o'clock. For the usatilt thy/ committed
Clark was summoned by the admiral before the magistrates
on the following Monday, end which resulted in a tine of
bpi. The case against Harmer was that ho was seen outside
the yard at the time of the excitement inside.
The connect for the defence contended that Clark
could not be convicted a mooed time of the same offence, the
evidence in both cams being identical; and with regard to
Harmer, he proved by witnesses that be was at the station
'welting the arrival of his son, and interfered not at all in
al the matter. It was so contended that had the admiral been
allowed to leave the yard ho could not have reached the poll-
ing-place until after four o'clock; and that nothing would
have been heard of this case but for the Kdibiewhite ab-
duction cam. The bench retired, and on their return the
chairmen announced that they had decided on committing
Clark for trial, bat dismissed the charge against the other
defendant. Clark Wile admitted to bail. Another case in
which Clark WWI summoned for &blaming a voter, named
John Glover, was withdrawn by the prosecution.
THE RELIGIOUS FEUD IN ST. GEORGE'S EAST.—
The pariah church plat. Georges East wee again the scene
of a violent anti-treetarian demonstration on Sunday after-
noon. The Rev. Hugh Alin, the lecturer chosen by the
veetseitrryy~ has complied with the request of the Bishop of
not to preach until a legal determination has been
come to se to the rector's legal right to interfere; bet the in-
habitants, neveribelem, c ounce to meet, to display their
aversion to the innovations made in the oervioes and derma-
tine of the church. Oa Sunday last en immense crowd
blocked up Cannon-street, in which the church is situated,
though it was expected the church would not be opened fur
divine service, as wee the case on the previous Sunday. At
near four o'clock, howevre, the gates were thrown open, and
in less than ire minutes the spacious edifice was thronged la
every part. There could not have been lees than 1,801/ per-
sons within the church, in addition to the crowds who could
not obtain admittenoe. In a few moments the Rev. Bryan
King, the rector, appeared with a train of nearly thirty
choristers, and proceeded along the aisle of the church, amid
an indescribable Nene of hooting, hissing, and confusion.
On reaching the communion table, which wee decorated as
swat with crosses, candlesticks end flowers, he com-
mand the Litany, the choristers intoning the responses, upon
which the audience began shouting, hissing, end manning
their feet, so as completely to drown their voices. The rector
persisted for some time, but at hearth seemed convinced that
it wee useless to proceed, and after a coesultation with his
attendants proceeded again to the vestry, receiving on his
way a similar greeting to that he had experien on his
entry. The crowd appeared satietled with ibis reeult, and
soon quitted the church to discuss matters outeide till a
sodden storm dispersed them. The scene would appear to
be the result of a prom:carted arrangement, as placards had
been issued recommending the parishioners to attend in force
every Sunday till Mr. Allen le recognised so letterer. A
strong body of police was in attendanoe, and by their exer-
tions restrained the disposition manifested by a few persons
to proceed to further messuree.
I'ii DRINKING FOUNTAIN MOVEMENT.—A large
standard drinking fountain le about to be erected forthwith at
the end of Tower, hill, opposite the Rayed Mint and the St.
Katherine's Bonhomie, at the joint expense of the White.
chapel Board of Works and the Metropolitan From Drinking
Fountain Association.
