SIIAASPEAKE AND J'ANDYCK.

An English Gentleman residing at Brussels has
had the good fortune to rescue from oldlViun, and
to become possessed of Ito original petite cf
Vaiiirlyck, rspresenting the interesting ',retie of
our immortal Shaksprare—Howler c.otemi baing•
the skirl! of VOrick. The picture was accidentally
discovered among the rubbish of a coach-house
at Brussels, but so completely covered with dust
and dirty varnish, that it was scarcely visible.—
It was pronounced by some of the Flemish Con:
sioilleurs to he a picture of some met it —l,at the
story of a Doctor or an Apnila cars/ exami.iing a hu-
man skull wag considered to he trifle, and the plc-
tore was sold for a trifle. On its heiog car.- folly
cleaned, it was found to he in perfect presertation—
the colouring as fresh and brilliant ;is it cattle front
the easel of the painter. It is half-length, the
countenance of Hamlet full of exiiretooni, the
hands touched with all the truth of nature, and
with the exquisite delicacy of the pencil of Vaiiilyck.
This inestimable picture, which has excited much
attention at Brussels, particularly 81111111;g• the ama-
teurs, is tow ascertained to have formerly beloitged
to the Count Aylesbury, who married the Princess
of Horne, and that it was originally painted for
Charlet, the First, by Vaudyck, when lie was to,
Englund. Walpole, in his " Anecdotes of Pain,-
kg its Eng:used," mentions, that after toe
death many of his fittest pictures were taken aa:iy
by his servants for ,their rouges, and e err irit tutu
Holland and Flanders, where they were sold.

On Saturday afternoon hi, Imperial Highn►ss

iii three carriages and four, arrived at the Ito)ai
Hotel, Prince'a-street, Edinburgh. The Arch-

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF COANCERY, iTawrytuirft,

711101111)" NOVEMIER 12.

This was mo►ion day. The LORD CHANCELLOR
came into Court at half-pas: ten o'clock, and
Counsel being only prepared in a few motions of
course, his Lordship bad gone through the Bar at
eleven o'clock.

Mr. HEALD a short time afterwards entered the
Court, and said he had a motion to make.

Mr. 1-lAttr requested that it might he postponed
to this dry week. as, from the great length of the
11111W11X, which were only filed two days, he had not
been able to look into them.

Mr. HEA LD said. he had DO objection to lICCOM
modote his Learned Friend. but ■s he war then in
pussesvion of the Court, he thought Mr. Hort could
Dot refuse to let him move it on next Thur,day
before any motions he (Mr. Hart) might have to
make on that day.

Mr. Haar—" As to myself, I can have no ob.
jection to my Learned Friend's taking the pre-
cedence, but I cannot answer for the assent of my
clients."
The Low CHANCELLOR—" Take what I am
going to say as it is intended, good humouredly,
Mr. Heald. if you had been one minute later in
coming into Court, you would have been in entire
possession of it, as T was just going to rise, us I bud
been bitting here 15 minutes without any business
before me. Under these circumstances, Ido not
think you can build much on being in possession
of the Court."
Mr. 1-IEALD-=4 T should have been in Conn
much sooner. but I thought the Counsel who take
precedence of me would have occupied the time of
our Lordship."
