St. Peter's leepentauce, a sketch far its a/tar piece
for a Church la il....reter.—N'ss. BaucitEoon.
This is a very well executed sketch, and, if we
mistake not, 'hews a careful and creditable study of
the Cortootis. The colouriug is good, and no doubt
some parts of the drawing, which appear to have
been beefily done, will be improved in the larger
picture.
The Directors of the Institution have. it is said,
given this artist too/. on doubt as a stimulus to
Isis industry (which seems to be considerable). and
in the well-grounded expectation that in his future
works that improveracit which is strikingly visible
in some parte of his pictures in the present E la•
• hibitiun will be evinced.
The Directors have also given (it is said) 1501. to
Mr. A [Aron, as a mark of their approbation of his
talents iii the Angel Uric!. The picture has also
been pnrefused Goon the artist at a high price by
that liberal patron of the Fine Arty, the Marquis
Of ST A rroao.

Landscape and Cattle.—J. STARK,
The Directors have the merit of stimulating this
artist to very crsditabk exertions this season. his
landscapes are excellent, and hove been chicly
sold
since the opening of the gallery. Mr. STAR[re
ceived .50/. from the institution last year in compli-
-
ment to his industry. and he has exhibited better
pictures this year than we have previously seen from
his pencil. As improvement in every art is un-
limited. we anticipate pelt year a still increasing
proficiency from this young artist.

Virtwe is daxgen—Fax MLR.
A spirited display of colouring is obseable in
this picture; but the foreign costume of the e figures
is repulsive to onr notions of taste; it has also the
effect of preventing the artist's display of drawing
in their shape.

A most excellent picture.

It may not be oat of place here to oliserve, that
if Mr. Ticatixir's proposition, which will he dis-
cussed in the House of Commons this evening (we
adverted to it at some length last Tuesday), for the
erection of a National Church, instead of naval and
military pillars, to celebrate mar late achievements,
be adopted by Parliament, the directors of the Bri-
tiah lastitution will be powerful auxiliaries in fur-
nishing (and we have no doubt gratuitously) appro.
priatether pictorial embellishments. Besides a number
of o pictures. by British Artists, which they
have purchased, they have Mr. IVEse's celebrated
picture of Christ healing is the Temple. It will
also be recollected, that to the year 1816 they gave
Mr. WARD an order for a large work, from his al-
legorical sketch of the Bustle of Waterloo, at a price
of 1,000 guineas. Another Artist received a simi-
lar order at SOO gtliaseui, awl in the notification
from the Directors of the Institution, it was ex-
pressly stated, that it was intruded to present the
works teatime public building. The public never
can expect a better opportunity than the present to

fully coutribute, both by their own pictures nud by the liberal encouragemeut they will no doubt con-
tints, to afford our artists, to carry into et&ct the
pictorial branch of the embellishments of any public
edifice. We place the same reliance on the leading
members of the Royal Academy. Asa proof that
suitable embellishments are not now cousiderad as
inadmissible to Churches. we have heard that Mr.
BACK LER is executing a sublime subject in stained
glass for St. James's Church, and that the present
learned Bishop or LONDON, without hesitation,
gave his consent to the work. IVlitai we know that
the Archbishop of CANTERBURY is a life Governor
of the British Institut 1111 l , the Bishop of DURHAM
an hereditary GOverilof, and the Bishop of SA eta
MLI arid several other diguituries of the Church
subscribers, we can have no doubt that the Fine
Arts, so far from being checked, as was once un-
fortunately the came by ecclesiastical interposition,
will uow receive from such distinguished quarters 1
the warmest patronage and support.

RICEPTIOF or
LORD CLIPE AND HIS BRIDE,
IN SURUPSHIRE AND WALES.
LUDLOW. ..4)D gaellidY senniglit Lord Clive
and hifyiscoonteis pureed through Slirewishatry

present omission, to welcome a Stranger into Shrop-
shire. The maiming was ushered in by the ringiim
of bells; on the steeple of the Clitireli was hoisted a
magnificent flax; at eight o'cleck. the Ludlow troop
oy ndati eomanry (of which his Lordship is Major Coins
t) aseembled isi full uniform, hearing i thei7
caps. and on the front of their horses' lo•ads,ii most
splendid white favours; soon after, the troop (with
several plitlemen's carriages) proceeded aloog

Worcester road m meet his La:4Np. SVhe they
Iced gene about two mites. his I..ordship'sappeaisrissite
was announced by a messenger who had heels pre-
viously dispatched fur that purpose. On the artival
of the carriage, the troop received Ins oith
sound of trninpet, a geueral salute, and loud cheers
the whole then pm:vetted to Ludlow. When they
arrived at the turnpike, all the Trifle Complasies of
the town bad assembled, with flags Niel a timid or
Nmusic, and a concourse of 1,1;00 people. Ti,e car-
riage was itistmattly stopped. the horses Micro from
it, and drawee, among the liuzzas of the multitude,
as far as Broad-street. Here the spectators in-
creased to the supposed number of three persona, and an ox, placed on a frame covered
with a most splendid canopy, fell into the proces-
sion: the whole then proceeded up the towe, amidst
the hums of she populace and ringing of hells.__
All the windows, tops of limier*, public 6141(11.1gs
awl the roof of the church, were tilled with spec-
tutors to behold and welcome the happy pair. The
females expressed their joy by the waving of
lkerchiefs the men by their hate ; and every word,
ook, and gesture, was full of expression
for the
ng life. health, and unititerrupted happiness of
his Lordship and his amiable Consort. The pro-
cession proceeded to Conte Bridge, where poet
horses were iu readiness, and the troop of cavalry
set oat with his Lordship for Walcot distance of
16 miles), where they arrived iii an hour and u half.
After the procession hail left Ludlow, the ox. with
700 loaves of bread. and the same number of gil-
lons of ale, were distributed to the populace. Oil
the road to Walent several triumphal arches were
erected by the peasantry, mid Ins Lordship was
greeted by the blessings of all ranks of people us
theY Pawed along. As soon as his Lordship alighted
from his carriage, the Bishop's Castle troop of yeo-
manry proceeded to escort him through that ho-
rough to Lymore. The Ludlow troop afterwards
returned to the Craven Arms Intl, to a well pro-
vided dinner, when " Health end Happiness to the
Happy Pair. and to every Branch of the Howse of
Petri'," were &souk with enthusiasm.
At Clun, sheep were roasted and benefactions
given to the poor. At Churchstoke an ox and seve-
ral sheep were given to the poor, with ale, &c.; at
the Mu his Lordship's friends and tenants
and gave a ball. The Rectory was illuminated.
At Btehop's Castle she inns were open to the friend*
of the Walcot family, and the town was a scene of
general festivity.
Mourcioasair.—On the arrival of the Noble Pair
at Lymore Park. near this place. about 301) of the
Yeomanry, Gentry, and Clergy had assembled on
horseback, with white mid plaid cockades, to wel-
come their arrival into the principality. 'Five late

ed his Lordship and his Lady, on behalf of the
County, assuring them dust they were received
" with the cordiality of Welshmen and sincerity of
friends." and that the gathering of the country upon
this occasion was not so much a testimmay to their
elevated rank, as a tribute of affeetiou and esteem.
In pleasing through Montgomery they were pre-
sented with the gratulatious of the inhubitaiits.
The tower of the church displayed the Union flig.
At night that romantic emitience on which stand the
ruins of the Castle of the Herbeits, displayed one
magnificent blaze, which, issuing from the ivy.
mantled towers, had a picturesque effect from the
deep vale below. Oii Monday there was a secoml
illumination, with transparencies happily conceived;
the whole concluded with a 1•311.
P00t..-oii the arrival of the cavalcade upon an
elevated spot within two miles of Powis Castle, the
horses were again taken from the Viscount's car-
riage, and it was drawn by 30 meta dressed in white,
attended by is band, through the town to the Castle.
The cavalcade was here greeted by shouts from
labourers, who were feasting upon a distant emi-
nence. The cavalcade consisted of about 500
gentlemen, which, two and two, extended very far,
and were followed by the carriage, attended by at
great concourse of foot people. Whets the float
horsemen had reached the Caule gates, they wheel-
ed right and left, leaving the road clear, and as the
Noble Pair passed tip the line they were saluted
by the whole party. As soon us they had alighted
fruits their carriage (and three cheers had been
given) the High Sheriff" proceeded down the liue,
followed two and two by the gentlemen, awl return.

to dint4r iu the Tows, Hall, and the evening was as
happy and cheerful as the subject could require.
After dinner, on the health. of the Bride and
Bridegroom being given, u discharge of twenty-one
rounds of artillery and three trollies of musketry took
place. At dusk. immense bonfires were kindled

TO THE EDITOR Or THE BRITISH PRESS.
---
Stu —The philippic delivered list night by Mr. Calvert
against Mi. Beaumont, the Magistrate, for the prominent
part which that Gentlemati has 'skeet in eupusiug the evils
of
the arbitrary licensing, and in framing the propositions in
anti-monopoly Petition, is made iii a taste so little to
he expected from sorb eminent characters in society as
/wester* have now-a-days become, and so little parliamen-
tary, that I am more than ever strengthened in my °pintails
against a system whereof the leaders resort to 'termer,
abuse for defence.
The asserti that " lir. Beaumont is a disappointed
Magistrate who load come into the c )))))) nisai to forward
his awn interest." is about as as if it were said that
a brewer got made a Member of Pao hainent to keep op a
system of excluding. competition in his trade, nod of
squeeziug extra profits out of the pockets of the labouring'
pets. But the imputation of improper worrier iv made
by what fart or probability does Mr. Calvert support it ?
None. Aod I will venture tot say, that the whole tribe of
brewers and licensing justices are unable to bring forward
a single trait to impugn the purity uf Jr. Beauntont's mu
tires or acts, or to warrant the imputati iiii . The 'thole
tenor of his eionolowt flatly Ileitis's the aspersion. Bo far
from conneetiug himself with any of the licensing Justices,
by which menus he might effrctircly have "forwarded Isis
own interest," he has tttt ifurntly, /Truly, and indefatigably
opposed and exploited the iniquities of their system, frgon
the first hunt tu which he entered tutu the cuumaissiov.
Nay, previously, it is shewn in the Malice Brims. that he
had thrown the gauntlet into the flee, of corrupt liceusers,
declaring, " that when be got into the in ttttttt Onion, if he
really fond any an mean as to traffic with their votes, 1w
would moment them, or make them R 511301411 of themselves'
But Mr. lieatemout happens to have lint al !Stepney and
Stleplwid's • Bush, I/II Wllleh there are at least Ido new
houses. Ou each estate, some year. beAtre he was in the
commission, he built a public-honse fur the necessity
°dation of his tenants. These were natural appro.
Iliir.ll 10 his estate—but he would tout condescend to me
any siesiater means In procure them to he lieetised.—.lnol
they were not liccusitl!!—He was forbidden the IMP of his
property. Homages which bad cost Ilion upwards of 4,0110/.
were rendered nearly as useless to hint as if they laid been
fired by au iatertidiary. The piablic 'loose nt slorpherd's
Hush, it I mistake nut, Meads empty 1., this day. These,
and similar injuries Meads
empty

Committee, auol their character is strottgly marked and
reprobate.' in the Report of thacConouitter. But accord-
ing to Mr. Calvert's logic, loecattar Mr. But
has
suffered injorier from the licensing system, Ile ought nut
to complain of it. He has been oppressed, and thrretiore,
his counsels fur the safety of others that come after him
ought not to be misfiled. He feels as an Englishinsit
might to feel, for himself and countrymen, and, therefore
lie ought not to be believed—hut In be abused, ply
understanding 'recta me to a very different eutoelosion.—
I cannot coaceive any person heifer qnalitionl to exemplOt
the errors ottlie licensing typical, than a gentleman woo
has suffered outdo" its operation, sad who (us an audition'.

trate into its recesses. At a fellow member with Mr.
Beaumont upon the Anti-Monopoly. Committee, and id
other situations, I have wain:voted the eandour amt public-
apirited acts of his comities, and can vouch for his• being
too iodependent in mind and fortune to-deserve the aoper.
sins which Mr. Calvert has out un his motives as it Magis-
trate. Mr. Cahrert% " shrewd ()pinkie'," that Mr. Beaumont
"wished to beetiase a moiler candidate, and be returned
on the shoulders of the people for the part 110? had taken," I
believe to be an well fonnoled as the rest. I rejoice, that by
the appointment of a Committee, a public oppurtionity will
