STIPENDIARY CUR ATES.

On the motion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Home
went into si Committee on thi► Bill.

A variety of amendments were moved by different Members,
and some were adopted, and others withdrawn, but the Coin-
',Mice did not divide on any.
ME SPEAKER proposed a clause to be inserted, granting re-
lief to persons against whom an order should be made by the
enablinh them to appeal against it to the King in Coun-
cil, who should be at liberty to confirm or reverse the sentence,
as might seem best.
7'u CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQOER proposed a clause,
whereby Delegates or Commissioners should be appointed by
the King, by a warrant node?' the Great Seal, who should have
authority to make such decisions as should be conclusive in all
appeals that should come before them.

89. .4 Portrait:. Kit-cat.--J. NOIITIICOTE, R. A.

This picture is in Mr. Northcote's very best style : or rather
perhaps we ought to say, that it is in au excellent style, being
very dissimilarfrom the style that :Jr. Nortlicote has shewn in
must other performances. This is the head of a middle aged
gentleman, coloured with very striking effect, and remarkably
forcible as well as plcasiug in its general expression and cha-
racteristic effect.

'73. Portrait of the Earl of .dberdeen.—T. LAWRENCE, ft. A.
The merits of this portrait appear to us to be of a nature a
pod deal resembling those of the last mentioned picture. The
Earl of Aberdeen, indeed, is a young man ; but the tone of et,-
louring, and general effect of the two pictures have so much re-
semblance, at least to our apprehension, that we should have
imagined both works to be the productions of Mr. Lawrence,
which as far as any compliment from us can be valuable, is
certainly a very great compliment to Mr. Northcote.

lion. When we had 'studied It with the amplest care, we
began to discover, that the fault of the artist consisted not so
much in his weak execution, as •in his unfortunate subject.
Historical painting has been deemed the most noble kind of
composition , hut a picture is not noble merely because the
subject is historical. It is not the representation of an arlinn
that constitutes the glory of a picture ; but the representation
of passion : and unless the persons concerned on the canvas be
engaged in some business of emotion, the painter will be gene-
rally disappointed of his expected admiration. It is not enough
that the business be important; it must he interesting too. Now
we think that no artist, however great might be his genius.
could produce an interesting action or passion, on such a subject
as this otter of the crown. Lady Jane Gray is thrown into no
circumstances of imminent peril, the Lords can be little more
agitated than a city knight presenting an address, and the w hole
work gives us reason only to regret, that so much neatness of
drawing and carefulness of colouring sl:ould have been bestowed
upon a subject so totally barren.

A SPECIAL JURY.

LIBEL.-TUC KING V. WHITE and JOAN HARRIET HART.

This was an information filed by his M:jesty's Attorney Gene-
ral against the two Defendants, one the Editor, and the other the
Publisher of " The Independent Whig," Sunday Newspaper, for
three Libels on Mr. Justice Le Blanc, and the Juries who tried
Chapman and Bennett, two Slave Captaios lately tried and ac-
quitted at the Old Bailey, for alleged funnier:, on tw o person,
of their respective crews. The information ;dirge(' that the
Libel was published by the Defendants with a view to have it
believed, that those two persons were unjustly acq.,itted, and in
order to Win., the administration of the
,justice of the country,
and the Trial by Jury, into hatred and contempt, and both Judge
and Jury were most violently accused.
The Attorney-General, who led the prosecution, stated the
facts of the two cases for which 13enuett are: Chapman w ere
tried. The first was indicted for the murder of a boy of the name
of Rickman, and on the trial it appeared most certa'nly, that he
had behaved with great harshness to the boy, but by the evidence
of all the Medical Persons, it was stated that his death was not
occasioned b., that treatment, but by natural disease. The Jury,
therefore, acting under their oaths, found him Not Guilty.-1b ith
respect to the case of Chapman, he also stood accused of murder-
ing one of his crew. This case was tried after the former, and if
the witnesses who gave evidlitice against him had been believed,
they proved a clear case of murderngaitist him. But it 'was proved
in evidence, that those persons who gave testimony against him
had all been mutinous; that the Surgeon, who was the principal,
had conducted himself so badly that the Captain was tibliged to
inflict corporal punishment upon him; and it was also proved,
that the witnesses had been heard conspiring together as to the
evidence they were to give; and the Surgeon was heard to say
to them, " That is right, let us all stick to that story, and out
wages will be safe." Under this evidence, the Learhed Judge
left it to the Jury to decide, whether they could believe the wit-
nesses, and they thought tney could not safely adjudge the Pri-
soner to death upon that sort of evidence, and therefor:. they
found him Nut Quill,. The present Defendant, however, did
not state a word of tais evidence, and only took the case on one
side, and assuming all that the witnesses had proved had been
uucuntradictedt he proceeded immediately to impeach the con-

POLITIC. 11: EVENTS OP THE WEEK.

In The. Gazette of last night, is a Proclamation from
MiljEsrv, by which, with a most sibleinlid and truly
Royal liberality, he gi% es up all his share in the prizes
captured by our vessels to be (.1% Uteri among naval men for
the cecoLragement of the service. This munificent action
needs no commelit from us: it will speak more lOrcibly
than words to the hearts of our countrymen.

A great number of reports have been spread through the
country during the whole of the last week, on the subject
of the Some persons said that Admiral
Putty's and General SrEvcra, who were lying off ('ad:?,
bad landed their troops, and been received w ith open arms :
that the :loutish fleet had been surrendered to them in
trust, and the French fleet as a prize. Others asserted,
that General SPENCER, in an attempt to land, had been
repulsed with heavy loss. Others again de dared, that
General SPI,NCER had landed, and suddenly withdrawn
without loss, on the discovery of treacherous designs
against our troops. llowever, this was not supposed likely
to influelete the negociations between Admiral PURVIS and
General :-oeo RA.

Another Deputy has arrived from Spain : he says that
Biscay has joined the provinces of (,allied and Asturias,
which provinces, all united, have now 150,000 men in arms.
Be adds that no actual insurrection has taken place in
Ferrol. It is supposed that the spirit of patriotism has
manifested itself at Carthagena.
The Bishop of Oviedo publicly encourages the Patriots
in their struggle with the power of France ; and some pri-
vate letters train Gijon pretend, which we are very un-
willing to believe. that the Pturvce of AmITV R lAN has issued
a proclam ition at Bayonne, encouraging the people to
emancipate themselves.
On the 19th of last month, Mr AT issued a proclamation
from Madrid, in which, as President of the Junta, or
Council of State, he directed that all the different Provinces
of Spain should, without loss of time, send deputations to
Bayonne, to consist of certain Grandees, named in the
proclamation, Archbishops, Bishops, and others, who pos
sass influence in the country. These were directed to as-
semble at Bayonne on the 15!h of June, to receive in form
from the Emrceoe ArILEow, a new Constitutional ('ode,
by which the future Government of Spain was to be go-
verned, It was the publication of this document at Oviedo.
that determined the Patriots of Asturias to resist the ty-
ranny of the invaders.
Private letters state that BONAPARTE has prevailed upon
the Ctlizem of SPAIN to sign a Declaration of the illegiti-
macy of the PRINCE of ASTURIAS and that 100,000 French
troops were on their march to Madrid, An order has also►
been issued for the restitution of the whole of the property
of the Palsies of the PEACE in the kingdom of Spain,
The declaration of the Prince's illegitimacy was consi.
•idered necessary to counteract any seutimeots that might
be favourably to him.
