thoee splendid models remains yet to lie etiowit ; we see few
specimens from the students which denote high merit, or a

a stamp was a young man named (we believe) PROSIER,
who tAllibilftl own model% from poetical 'Objects, at two
lIIICITSPiVe exhibitions of the Academy, six or eight years ago.
The members of this corporate body admired the works, and
wonders d at the talents of the man ; eve; y hotly praised
them, but nobody held out a helping band to the Artist, who
in Malcom mid despair, broke his works to pieces when
Ire had to carry them back to his closet. Another exhi-
bition came, hat Mr. PRO,SER was not there—nor in the
interim was it konwii that lie had been suitor at the gate
of any academician. 'lle humanity of Mr. ilreter, who said,
if hecould be found lie won't, send him to Italy with his own
sun, led to an inquiry after the Artist, who was discovered
just alive in a garret in Clare-market, where he hail been
lone pining in waist nail misery, and he died trefore he
could be removed from this wretched situation ! Art would
not have enstalned such • loss if the British Institution had
been in existence, to watch the growing energies of a retired
student ; and yet Iwo such Artists might have been main-
tained for a year at die expense of one of the ostentatious
auntie, dinners at the Royal Academy, which are given by
nierobers of that body to their friends and a new public cha-
racters. Once we recollect rejecting the name of Lord BYRON
from their dinner list, because his presence would be thought
diepleasing to an Artist, who was, however, above the mean.
netts of peewits' pique to any man, notch less to the first
living Poet of hit day. The Academy has, however, filled its
Ili:l4l,mA Exhibitions, which du not at present seeni
as attractive as formerly. The raze for Portrait Feinting
(the prim-Olaf,' action at Somerset House), 'ping, we rather
think, upon the decline. The British Institution, which
first gave the Imp-Ns to the Royal Academy, contiontt s, as
it defdivel, to aligment its sphere of actiou—it has svisely
diffueed a taste for Oradell Art in fashionable lite, and by
exhibiting, Mom( favour or unworthy selection, the works
of our rising Artists, and rash ivatiog their taste at the shrine
of the old Masters, it has checked the importation of foreizu
works he living Masters, and preserved that patronage for
native pious which the intercaltrae with the Contisent might
have at the moment endangered, at re it mot for the judg.
nolo tout liberality orate Directors of the British Institution.
—The private galleries of some distinguished iadividuals
have also had a coeseiderable sheet its ane,mettling the taste
for the Foie Arts, and rendering them attractive and pm.
pular ammig the higher claeses. The splendid colleettots
of the Marquis of StAFFORD, open (by tickets) on Wed-
nt inlays, which contains Pilate of the fittest works of the an-
cient and !modern Masters, among them the chefs deferrer
of the I elebvated Orleans Gallery, I, s had a powerful effect
in encouraging the Fine Arts in this eauntry. The Noble
Marqui has not only placed before the students the best
tßtotrls of their art, but he has also rewarded, with a muni-
ficent hand, the erode of their own pencil.
Of Sir JOHN LEICESTIER'S patriotic collection of works
of British Art, we have spoken with the warm approbation
whit-lithe liberal opening of that Gallery by the Honourable
Baronet, was so well calculated to excite—it has produced
a great sensation an 1111 l g the lovers of art. Mr. WALTER
FAWILVI'II beautiful cullsetion of Water-colour Drawings
has also excited enliven:al attenti tttt . The patriotic pm-
prietur of this Gandy has lately added to his admirable col.
tedium, a very fine water-colour drawing by Mr. NICHOLSON.
Under such private and public patronage, the Arts may he

plied, "it was.1111(1 that the heroes were destroyed 'by

Defoe's; it was the cry wherever he went, he served

MANSION -UMW .
Saturday a tailor, named Casey, was brought before the
Lord Mayor upon a charge of beating and kicking his wife.
The tailor said she was the aggressor, and skewing his face,
asked the Lord Mayor what a man was to do when a woman
flew at him, and with her nails made palek-work of his face?
The Lord Mayor said, lie should comp.!! the Defendant to
find sureties for his good behaviour towards his wife.
The tailor said it would be of nu use to do so, as he was
determined to quit tier and leave the country immediately
he got his liberty. The bird Mayor said, that although he
might be determined to quit his wife, yet they would not so
soon quit him, but wail,' compel him, ere be went, to find
a maintenance for his wife, and to find bail to answer for
the assault at the Quarter Sessions; iu default of which his
was committed to poison.

BOW-STR LET.
Saturday Mr. Rickards was charged before the sitting
Magistrate with obi ' g Looll+ under false pretences.
It appeared from ilk &position of Miss Osborne, that she
was in business WI the upholstery hue in Tottenham-court-
road, and that M►. Rickards, aboot a fortnight since, ordered
goods of her to the amount of 'inwards of MO/. describing
himself as a Mr. Toaney, of Dean's-place, Westminster, and
left aU. deposit for the same, and that if a receipt was sent
with the goods, it should be pant. MiSs Osborne also stated
that her father's property had been taken in execution, butt
that she had saved about 401 in 111011 Cy, and with this suns
she had commenced business on her urn account. The gouda
were sent home; hilt in consequence of a bill of upwards of
Mt of her father's, which had not been taken up, it appear-
ed that this rut thod had been adopted by a creditor in get
the pods iii question, thinking that Miss Osborne had merely
nn assignment of her father's property. But it was proved
by lulls of parrela that she had milts eil tbe various alludes
alluded to from different tradesmen, and the accounts were
made out sol Fly in her name, and that she had no contiol
or connexion with her father's affairs.
The Solicitor On behalf of Mr. Rickards endeavoured to
sift this subject ill the bottom, having the schedule of Mr.
Osborne in his band ; hid the clear and candid statement
given by Miss Oshorne of the embarrassed state of her fa-
ther's Wait s, induced the Magistrate, Mr. Nicks, to observe,
that as long as lie had sat upon the Bench, lie bad never beard
any evidence given with sit much propriety and the appear-
ance of truth.
