THE KIIVG'S PICTURES.

At 'a time when the Monarch of these realms stands
forth as a most liberal encourager of the Arts and Sciences—
as the powerful supporter of every plan for the improve-
ment of the country, and for increasing the splendour of
the capital—when his highly-cultivated mind is exerting
its best energies to give that capital a rank among nations,
in the scale of taste as well as of those of wealth and in-
dependence--it is moat delightful to reflect that his sub-
jects are allowed to partake of those high gratifications,
which even his private palaces (of course, accessible only
to the chosen few) have hitherto afforded.
Ills Majesty's gr: cious condescension in allowing his
private collection of pictures to be opened for the amuse-
ment and gratification of his people, at the British Insti-
tution, is an event unparalleled in the history of European
Courts; and King George the Fourth of England take the
lead in this enlightened and liberal policy. his not enough
for his noble feelings that he finds himself in the possession
of some of the finest works of art that polished Europe
can produce; but placing them before his people, he soya
to them, " Share my pleasures ; partake of the delight
which the contemplation of these treasures afford ; refine
your taste, correct your judgment, and be satisfied that the
pleasures of Kings are not always selfish—that their pur-
suits are not always without regard to the best interests of
their people."
By his Majesty's gracious liberality, we have before us
one hundred and sixty-four Pictures, among which we
find seven of the choicest works of Rubens ; eight of his
more refined and graceful, but less vigorous pupil, Van-
tlyck ; seven of the magical effects of the powerful colour-
ing of Rembrandt ; nine of that most exquisite painter
Wouvermans ; fourteen of the most finished labours of
that faithful copyist of nature, Teniers ; six of the Choicest
gems from the rich and animated pencil of Van Ostade ;
ten of the brilliant, glowing, aerial summers of Cnvp;
many of the beautiful, delicate, and elaborate works of Dow,
of Metzu, of Mieris, and of Vanderwerf ; the charming
groups of eattleof Putter, of A.Vandeveltle,of Berghent. and
of Du Jardin ; the spirited whimsicalities of Jan Steen;
the magical freshness and aerial breathings of Hobbima
and of Both ; the matchless effects of storm and calm, of
'IV. Vandevelde and of Backhuysen. To these we may
add the splendid productions of our immortal countryman
Sir Joshua Reynolds, who soars like an eagle above his
surrounding admirers, with the highly-finished and faithful
labours of Zoffani, &c. and when it is considered that
every picture in the collection is not only in the finest time
and manner of these great masters of this magical art—that
they are also in the highest and most perfect state of pre-
servation—that they have been selected by the eye of taste,
matured by correct judgment, and under circumstances the
most favourable to the acquisition of such treasures (the
dispersion of many of the celebrated collections known on the
Continent)—every individual who sees this splendid collec-
tion must feel proud of being the subject of the Monarch who
possesses it, and grateful to him for his condescension in
thus enabling them to enjoy the highly intellectual pleasure
that such an exhibition affords. Nothing in the Arts can
go beyond the excellence of most of those pictures, and we
fear that we shall not " look upon their !ike again."

The Duke of York took his daily drive as usual on
Sunday afternoon in his carriage to Hampstead and its
neighbourhood. His Royal Highness was visited yesterday
by the Duke of Suisse:, the Duchess of Gloucester, and the
Princess Augusta.
On Sunday night Captain R. P. Gilbert, Military S,:ere-
tory to the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian
Islands, left town with despatches from the Secretary of
State's Office for Colonial Affairs for the Hon. General
Ponsonby. Captain G. alsotook with him brief answers
to the despatches brought to the Colonial Office on Friday
night from the lonian Islands, by a messenger.
It is reported that the anticipated duel was actually
fought near Belford. Mr. Lambton was afterwards seen
in hie carriage, in a posture which gave reason to believe
that he had been wounded. His second, General Grey,
set off for j.ondon immediately after.
MALnoN.—During this election, Mr. Western, one of
the county Members, sent Mr. Lennard, without the
slightest application, a bank note of 10001. and a promise
of 1001. a-day as long as the election lasted. It continued
five days after, which made the gift in the %hole 1,5001.

We are not disposed to visit the mistakes of newspapersl
with much severity, because we know that such mistakes
are unavoidable ; but we arc obliged to take notice of one
which appeared in a Morning Paper of yesterday, the
effect of which might perhaps be to lead wine of our
readers to suppose that the Morning. Herald had stolen a
march upon us. We allude to the terms of the capitula-
tion of Claw, which appeared yesterday as an exclusive
piece of intelligence in that pint. The journalist might
have seem the capitulation, which he was at the pains
to translate yesterday. in the British Press of May 20.
A letter from Genoa mentions that the plague has
made its appearance on beanie vessel which is under qua-
rantine at Varigriano, near Porto Venere, in the Gulf of
Spt zzia.
Buenos Ayres Papers, from the 29th of March to the 3tl
of May, arrived yesterday. The General Congress,
among other laws, have passed one for the consolidation of
the internal debt of the State to the Ist of February, IWO.
Another declares Buenos Ayres the capital of the•Repub-
lie. A third renders national, tinder the exclusive admi-
nistration of the President of the Republic, all the custom-
houses, and all kinds of duties on articles imported and ex-
ported. It appears that Potosi has been agitated hy mi-
litary insurrection, which was suppressed, and 21 indivi-
duals concerned in it, some of them sergeants and corpo_i
.rals, were shot, by order of the local authorities. These
disturbances will occur until South America is more set-
tled. The war with Brazil still continu, a ; and the Buenos
Ayrcans boast of some naval triumphs. Dr. Manuel Garcia
has been named Minister Plenipotentiary to Panama ; and
D. Manuel Torres to the United States. The Brazilian
commander at Monte Video issued orders, it appears, on
the 13th of April, not to permit the English packet to take
sntivri; or passengers to Buenes Ayres.

WE.STJ:OIILAN D ELECTION.

(FROM OUR OWN lIEPORTERI
RATUROAY, JULY I-NINTH AND LAST DAY.

The polling re-commenced this morning, and went no very lan.
guidly, on the part of Mr. Brougham, until twelve o'clock, when,
by agreement, it was put a stop to, and at one o'clock the Under-
SherilTannounced, that if no freeholder appeared to tender his vote
within one half hour, lie would close the poll.
At half-past one o'clock, accordingly, he again appearel upon
the hustings, and declared the state of the poll to be, for

9th day's pull. Final close.
Lord Lowther . - 172 - . 2 1197
Colonel Lowther - 17:1 . . 2.1124
Ni. Brougham - . 23 - - 1,387
3lajorhy for Col. Lowther over :11r. Brougham
on the day's poll . . - - 143
On the gross poll - - - 637

The le se nennett ERIFF then deriared the election to have fallen
on Lord Viscount Lowther sad the Hots. Henry Cecil Lowther
amidst loud cheering.
Lord Lot/I'Tel en then addressed the meeting, and said that as
the Under-Sheriff had declared that he was now returned as one of
their Representatives in Parliament, it was his duty to thank the
electors of Westmorland for the honourable position in which they
had placed hits on the poll. (Loud cheers.) Indeed he
anticipated the attainment of that honour at their hurls, and
he sincerely hoped that his futstre conduct wouhi prove sa-
tisfactory to those who had returned hint. (('heers.) The
kindly feelings with which he was everywhere greeted upon his
cenvass, were sufficient to assure him of the success which lie had
just achieved with their assistance. (Cheers.) The present was the
fourth time that they had conferred upon him the greatest honour,
and the greatest mark of confidence which it was possible for an in.
dividual ti receive; and he felt assured, that expressions, however
varied or well chosen, must fail to express the deep sense of grad.
tude that he entertained. (Cheers.) The contest which had just
been brought to a successful issue was a contest of principles, and
not of Individuals ; and the county of Westmorland was the chosen
arena in which they were to be tried. (Cheese.) Ile was happy at
the result, which could not fail to redound to the honour of the
county—he was happy at the success of the good old cause, which
tended to give, if it were requisite, additional vigour and strength
to the Established Church and King. (Great cheering.) He was far
from wishing to express any feelings of exultation, and he hoped
that what Ise said would not be considered as such. The Honour.
able Gentleman had noticed a declaration which had been signed
by a number of individuals, which declaration he had rather,
roughly handled; and should the honourable Member, in the
course of his remarks, make any harsh allusions, he (Lord L.)
hoped that his friends would receive them with the same compla-
cency as he did.. (Cheers.) He sincerely hoped that, now the
election was over, they would all return to their homes, and renew
with their neighbours that good fellowship which had been die.
turbo' a few weeks before the commencement of the contest. His
Lordship then thanked them for the honour they bad conferred
upon hint, and withdrew amidst loud cheers.
Colonel Lower's:a next presented himself, and was also very
loudly cheered. The result of the poll, he said, had placed him
above his opponent by a ve-y large majority. Indeed be felt
*sures' it could ur sen de in no other manaenfrom the support which
Itch el been pto nisei fr au all pots of the county, and the prediction
wleels he had firmed I a I then been realized. (Cheers.) They
had heard a great deal about mushroesns—indeed they were foe
some days the chief topic of speech front the hustings. The Hon.
Member for Winchelsea belonged to a profession which was
always engaged in making the worse appear the better cause, and
vice versa. Thus it was that on the previous evening he had la-
boured so strenuously to prove that that which was right with
them (the Blues) was wrong with us (the Yellows.) (Cheers and '
laughter.) When he applied the terns fungus to those mushrooms
who had voted for the lion. Gentleman, he was well aware that
mushrooms were a specits of fungus; but as the term scented to
be objected to. he would, in lieu of it, call them real genuine Winny
rings. (Laughter.) Ile then expressed his thanks to the electors
for the support which they had given to him, and professed his
readiness always to come forward at their call. The Gallant Cola
net then withdraw amidst enthusiastic cheers from the Yellows,
and marks ordistapprobation from the Blues.
Mr. BROUGIIA3I then presented himself amidst the most en.
thusimtic cheers front the Blues, and some hisses and groans from
the Yellows. As soon as silence was obtained, he addressed the
Meeting, and suite that if he had come forward at those contests
for the representation of the county of Westntorland in order to
promote any object of his own—if he stood there as a candidate, as
men often do present themselves for the suffrages of electors, from
a personal desire to sit in Parliament, not being, as he was, already
returned for smother scat, or from personal Merest or fancied per.
tonal interest—if lie had come forward trout seesaws of vanity or
of ambition, or from motives of a sordid description—if he wished
to exchange one sent for another, entering, for the mere gratifies.
tion of his own ambition, Unia. for a county rather than" occupy
another seat—if, in short, he had voluntarily COl/1C forward—if of his
own free will he had been put into nomination eight years ago, and
for his own selfi It purposes bud carried on an eight years contest,
then indeed might he have stood before them feeling deep disap-
pointment, peradventure mortification, at the result. Ile knew and
felt, and they knew, and their antagonists felt it too by that
time, whatever some persons might have pretended, who had re-
present(d him as a elan in pursuit of personal aggrandisement—
some who had sneered at and attacked hint in a more serious
fashion for presuming to attempt placing himself amongst county
Mesubers, possessing no right to claim a place amongst that distin-
guished; class, by either his station :3 the county or the country at
large; whatever such persons might have represented, their better
antagonists fur sense, discretion, and high station, knew well, and
noise knew better than the Lord Lieutenant, and Ise and his two
sons were aware that he (Mr. Brougham) never considered it as an
object of interest or embition ; for he was the same in Parliament
as if he sat for the county of IYestmorland ; Indeed he was just
as conveniently situated, if not more so, than if he had been re.
turned by the unanimous voice of the freeholders of Westmorland.
(Cheers.) Although this might be known, ant) he believid it was
known, it might naturally be asked why he bad originally stepped
forward ? He had a purpose to serve in doing so, but that pur.
pose was not Isis own. Ile had been put into nomination when he
was at a disteuce of 260 miles distant from that place, not only ig-
norant that he was so put in nomination, but contrary to his de.
clued resolution when the proposition was first made to hint.—
His answer upon that occasion was, that he declined standing, and
recommended the propounders to find another Candidate. (Cheers.)
(Then lie was told, however, that he had been put in nomination,
contrary to Isis expressed inclination and declared resolution, he
was told at the tame time that such was the success of the nomina-
tion. that's° prevailing was the interest which the cause had ex-
cited, that such was the animaeon which hall been given to it by
the name of' the humble individual who then addressed them, that
if his name were withdrawn there could be no hope; there must be
an end to all expectation of the emancipation of his native county.
(Great cheers.) With the same disinclination to involve himself in
such o contest, with the tame repugnance to come forward, lie found
himself placed in such a situation that it was impossible for him
longer to resist ; the appeal was irresistible, supported as it washy his
own feelings and his principles of independence. (Cheers.) If he
had followed the path dictated to hint by his own ronveni,n e, he
would have sacrificed to that convenience the cause which he as well
as they had at hoot (Cheers.) Therefore it was that he suffered
his name to be continued, and he hastened shortly afterwards and
appeared amongst them. (Cheers.) lie had carried on with them
the first, tee second, and had stow brought to a close the third con-
test, but not the last.- (Immense cheering) And he appealed to
every man who hail heard him, be he friend or be he he,
whether any man who had made this en object of his own
seeking—whether any man who had volunteered instead of being
I dragged into the contest—whether any man who had volun.
Leered widest the advice or reluctant friends—whether any
such man could have stood more firmly, or could have persevered
more strenuously, or be later in retiring than lie was himself,
although he had been the last inste:ul of being the first to come
forward to contest the representation of the county Thus firm
anti strenuous they would find him to the end. and thus also
would their opponents find hint (cheers)—thus wettnl they es.
perienee him until the final consutumatien was wrought out.
(Cheers.) Ile would stand with them again and again (tremen-
dous cheering), smiling with Indifference, it' not with contempt. at
those who pretended to think that he did so In order to undtetint-
self a county Member, fur they knew as well as he did that he was
actuated by any other rather than such a felling. liis °him was
to make old Westmorland a county and not n borough. (Cheers.)
It was therefore that he agreed with the Noble Lied who first ad.
dressed them, in declaring, as he professed to do, dust the cause was
not one of persona but of principles ; not of persons certainly, so
far as they (the Blues) were concerned, but of principles.
It was not a content of persons either upon their side
(the Yellows), he ass bound in candour and charity to believe,
but of principles also ; but though bound in candour and charity
to believe, he confouse that lie telt extremely at a loss to conceive
what those principles were which were involved upon their pert,
though he could well discern who and what were the persona. The
persons and cause were the Lord Lieutenant and his family. ane
that hereditary ambition which had been heeded down to Lord
Lonadale, undiminished, from his immediate and well-remembertd
predecessor, and which, having descended to the Noble Lend then
present, would, doubtless, be maintained with, if not increased, at
least with undiminished pertinacity. (Cheers.) ‘l'llat the prin.
ciples were which they usaintnined, or what the general grounds
upon which they stood, it was impossible by guessing to devise.
Was it upon the principle that property ought to have a predomi-
nating weight in elections foram county ? (n No, no. no," from a
person in the crowd.) Yes; he admitted that it should be so—
property ought to have its influence. The test of the elective quali.
Simeon was property,snd by law property was closely connected with
I he elective franchise. Hut he s ishet. to ask if there was no lin:puny in

counties but thta which lay in large enamel of thousands on thomara
a year? Were there no large properties on the side of the Blue..
Were they to be told that there was no high blood on their
when they mull reckon amongst their friends the Sackvilles, tl;
Tuftons, the Howard', and the Cliffinds ? lie would conteie
that they had as high blued and as large properties in the Kezidd
ward as the Lord Lieutenant and his adherents could para.:,
against them. But surely if one man, with 30,000 f. a year, haii
right to possess some weight in the representation of the county, I

ercise the same influence in choosing their own Member of Pane.

gether the (*Ward estates. and those of others of his friends, two or
which, one in the Kendal and the other in the East Ward, Ito.;
equal to if not greater than that of the Lord Lieutenant. Peter;
those large properties then entirely out of view, and admitting tie,

upon the property of the freeholders--of the real resident free:
holders of the county. (Cheers. j On the behalf or those tea
holders lie stood there to struggle against the overbearing, core

was more general, though not more sacred than their own, to take
care that no addition should be made to the unfavourable imprees
sion which would be sought to be excited against it 'ny their tone

Popery." (Cheers.) The came' of their failure on that °evasive
were known to them all. and they were all swam that those mos
were in no way coneeected with the Catholic Question. (Cheers.) He
held in his hand a lea of names which bad been signed to a de.
cleration of which they had heard much from the hustings; and le
found, upon me-folly examining the state of the p II up to lag
night, that of the neines signed to that declaration thirty-one had
refused to vote against the Blue cause (cheers), entwithstanding
the declaration which they were induced to sign. He found the
write. although their names were there also, had totwithetandaa
pieced them on the poll-book by voting for him (Mr. liroughann.
Some persons yesterday asked for the names of those persons,
anti he would then read them to them. They were Robert Cooke,
of though ; William Barrow, of Withely ; AVilliam Atkinson, sr
Kirkby ; Thone, William Horne, of Kirkby ; Theme, see
several other*, whit whose enemies he would not then trouble there.
A rxonget others. William Atkinson and William Ilorne had never
I signed tl,at dgelaistion, nor had they given any authority for having
their names affixed to it. (Great cheers.) lie found that severe
others were similarly situated, and some had been told and made to
believe that it was merely a Catholic petition, and had nothing to
all to du with the election. (Cheers.) Of these Richard Eduomeon.
of Clibum, was one ; John Joy, of Crosby, was another; and John
Bewsiser, of Pooley, another ; all of whom, with others, were
lad to believe that it was a petition against the Catholic (aloe
tion, and that it had nothing to do with the election. (Cheers I
Be that ['Wit might, there were certainly a good many of them who
had voted against hint—about as many as those he had mo.
tinned—between 30 and 40; but that all or any of them vie ti
against him on the ground of the Catholic Question he should le
extremely slow to believe, unless he had better evidence of the fat
than merely that delaration. His reasons were theoc-ein thee
cases where they had been able to trace real motives or probeEe
causes for this change of opinion, it was as much connected wee
the Pope or the Catholic Question as it was with the Emperor ..1
China or the Great Mogul. (Cheers. and • laugh.) He wool:,
for instance, ask his excellent friend, George Steel, of Neebe
who voted for hint upon a former occasion, whether he
farmed under the Yellows? (A laugh.) He (31raBroughano
believed he slid not, but he knew very well that he dal roe,
(a laugh), and under the family of the Lowthers themselves, i:'
his information was correct; tout, at all events, under the Yellows.
Cheers.) What, he would Ask. had the vote of John Bewsher, of
Pooley, to do with the Pope ? Just as much as it had to do with
the Great Mogul or the Emperor of Japan. (A laugh.) Let any
man look sharply in the neighbourhood of Pooley for the next ail
months, and he would perceive a greafhouse bending there. Now
he should be greatly surprised if Mr. John Bewsher, of P. o'er,
was not employed in the building of that house. A Yellow gentle.
moth was the prnprietor, and he would of course employ his friend
Bewsher. who was a carpenter, in the building of it; or if suet
should turn out not to be the case, he could only say that John
Bewsher would be the worst used man in England or in Europe.
be he Catholic or be he Protestant. (Tremendous cheers, wee
roars of laughter.) Ile deeply regretted perceiving upon that lies
and at the head of it, the names of three Reverend Clergymen of
the Church of England. They pretended to call upon all men, of
whatever religions denomination, Churchmen, Methodists, art
Dissenters, to join in that declaration. (A person in the crowd
cried out " Milner") No, Mr. Milner was never on their aide, and
PO far he was more consistent than those to whom he alluded. But
he would ask, bad that call been answered? Did they pewee!
the name of any Clergyman of any other persuasion than that of
the Established Chbrch attached to that declaration ? Not a single
one. (Cheers.) In vain had they appealed to the Dissenters anti to
the Methodists--the honour or the odium was exclusively 'heir
own. (Cheers.) It might certainly brand perhaps underiaahe
that those Reverend Clergymen might have been infleerce I it
their revolution of sentiment towards himself by a consciention
alarm at Popery. It might be so; and when one perceived the
names of respectable persons attached to such a declaration, he
wag In some measure bound to assume that it contained their real
sentimente. He knew, however, that one of these respecable
gentlemen avowed, that his patron being dead, he was to longer
under any obligation to support the Blues. kor his own part, he could
not help expecting that the Ree. Gentleman would look out for ono.
ther patron who was not a Blue,to whom his gratitude would be jest
as lasting as he found his patronage serviceable or convenient. Ano.
Cher of these flevererd persons laboured under a great misfortune,
having for a patron a gendetuan who had no better living to Mtn
him than ghat which he already possessed. It would eertairly be
extremely useful if the gentleman close by him (Mr. Cruektehorp)
who had given that reverned Gentleman one living, had still
another and a batter in reserve, and it was much to be regrets
that such was not the ewe. (Cheers, and a laugh.) With respect
to the third of these Reverend leaders of the dissentients on tint
occasion, he could not help thinking, that as his memory had
metered so marvellously short, his judgment must also he in ern
as to his real motives for changing his opinions with respect to hr
Blue cause. That Reverend Gentleman (the Rev, ale. Adam.
thwaite, of Winton) in a speech which he had made last Saturday
morning—OTT-Lech which:was not more zealous against thelilues than
one which he had matte in their favmersome years aeo at Brough—
• speech equally as nble and as ardert —in the speech if
Saturday last, however, he avowed that his reason for sup.
porting him (31r. Brougham) not the former occasion seas,
the ptrt he had powerfully and zealously taken in the defence of
her la e :Majesty. Now, it was very seange that the memory of
the R.v. fie itleman should be so marvellously short, but that it
was so this are erticn of his proved, for a mere refereece to d sees
must show that such could not hare been his reason for favenring
him (Mr. Brougheni) with his support. • Ile would just ad t tin
who,heard him, to consider whether, on the evening wheel that
Rev. Gentleman made that, which he called MOO zealous, but
which his opponents called reo tit t mperdte p e h, at Broueh,
on behalf of the 11111 CM—that 'peeve which, so tar as he mei
hear, far he was inside the window, and it was raker late in tits
evening, was as remarkable for talent as for the vehemerce with
which it was utter:se-and which was by no means misappropriate t
this period of the evening.' (A laugh). ' Ile would ask them to
consider whether it was possible that the support which he then
promised to hint (Mr. Breughem) could have any reference to the
part which he had subsequently, for it was subsequently. taken in
the defence of her late Majesty. The Queen came to England is
June, 1820, and the speech to which he had just drawn their
attention was made at Brough, in Marsh, 18111. (Imtrenee
laughter, and cheers). What was still more extraordinary was
that there was • not a single acted said about the Queen in
Westmodand; not a word even whispered for years and
years before, but them was at that time a great deal sohl
about " No Popery," and the Catholic Question (great cheering),
and not far from the place where he thee stood. here had beet
persons who at the very beginning of the contest were not deterred
from avowing theirmoncipies, as connected with that great ques-
tion. What it' a full year before the Rev. Gentleman made that
speech at Brough—if more than a year before he spoke, and can-
vassed, and wrote for the Blues, some speaker on his (Mr. Broug-
ham's) aide had spoken from Miss Ritson's window, and said, "1
fear that some of you object to us tor the opinion which we eater-
, tain favourable to the Catholic question." Now, I freely and
