the National Gallery Board of Management.
Never perhaps was the truth of the adage more
glaringly exemplified. Everybody, and there:ore
nobody, was responsible. Within a considerable
interval of time, scarcely thirty pictures were
added to the Gallery by purchase, whereas within
the same period hundreds were being bought for
the Louvre and the Pinacothek by the French
and Prussian Governments respectively. The
majority of even the few paintings hanging on the
walls of the apartments in Trafalgar-square were
the gifts of private individuals, the fruits of pri-
vate munificence. From the merely " scrambling"
nature of these regulations, or rather from the
total absence of any thing like orderly or compre-
hensive arrangements in the gathering together of
our so-called National Collection, it results that
we have at this period a gallery comprising a few
indifferent specimens of a few of the more cele-
brated masters of the European Continent. In-
stead of having every master in some sort repre-
sented I Instead of having every school in some
way illustrated ! Instead of having every style
conspicuously placed before us in some picture,
however far removed from being a masterpiece !
Numerous artists of high and even illustrious re-
putation are unknown to the visitors of the
English National Gallery. A deplorable list of
their names might be very readily enumerated.
Against the folly of such copious omissions we
have already more than once protested ; and
against it we shall continue to protest with un-
abated ardour until the whole of this important
institution shall have been reorganised.
It may readily be perceived, then, what is

might be given up permanently to the Royal Aca-
demy—the front of it possibly to be adorned in
some manner, so as to render the structure some-
what less odious as a specimen of our ideas of
beauty in architecture. The new edifice would,
meanwhile, have been constructed on the chosen
site between Brompton and Kensington. There
the collection as it is at present might be adopted
as the nucleus of one more worthy- of its designa-
tion. It might be scattered chronologically, or
otherwise, through the newly-completed apart-
ments, and the gaps or interstices be then filled
up, as opportunity offered, by purchases made
with rather more extended munificence on the
part of the Legislature. Besides rendering the
National Collection in this manner more compre-
hensive, it would be well, we repeat, if changes of
a no less notable kind were introduced into the
machinery of its Management.

The Church of England Quarterly Review.

There are remarks made in this number on several
important works " Dr. Fraill's Josephus,"
" Niebuhr's Life and Letters." The most worthy
of attention is the first article on the " Holy
Scriptures and the Hebrew Language." Among
eyvernestpseucstefdr.om
regardinglts univeirtsaa, and
other reflections on the vast influence and sublime
one of
dignity of language, it is suggested that language
boons of Heaven. It •
en. is observed on
this subject :
tfishamenihloiitgarhrietieygtipltL
" Many persons suppose that language
of man—that it was very rough and imperfect in its ori-
ginal state, and became more polished and more copious
as civilisation advanced, and the wants of mankind were
multiplied. In the case of Adam, such a supposition is
obviously untenable. The
fromlanguage he spoke was that
which he had first heard
God, and it must therefore
have been a perfect language as coming from Godhimself;
and the faculty both to comprehend its meaning and to give
it utterance must have been implanted in the first man by
the Creator. The child who needs to be taught to
speak, and the savage who speaks only a jargon until he
Adam
never better instructed, are not anomalous cases, for
never was a child—never was in the condition of a
savage. He was created a full-grown man, perfect in
body and mind, and his speech, like everything alike
before the fall, was perfect—not, as is supposed, rude
at first, and gradually perfected by use. We maintain
that the primitive language was perfect, and that all
deviations from this standard have been corruptions
rather than improvements, when language is regarded
in its highest application as having reference to spiritual
and eternal things, and not merely to the things of earth
and the passing events of social intercourse."

WESTMINSTER HOSPITAL—His Grace the Archbishop
of Canterbury preached a sermon yesterday morning at
the church of St. Margaret, Westminster, in the pre-
Bence of Vice-Chancellor Sir J. P. Wood, Mr. Mateley,
Q.C. Dr. Sutherland, and a crowded congregation, in
aid of the fun& of this charity. The appeal produced PI
collection of 431. 70.

FRENCH PLAI'S.

Loisa, a two act comedy, by Mde. Ancelot, originally
produced about 10 years ago at the Vaudeville, where
the principal character was played by Mde. Doche, was
on Friday night acted for the first time in this country.
Kerven, a young Breton, who has come up to Paris,
has allowed himself to be led into the world of fashion,
and to be fascinated with the charms of Agla4 de Moran-
ville, a brilliant young widow, who so completely re-
alises his ideal of female beauty and elegance that he
forgets Loisa, the object of his attachment in his native
province. But poor Loisa has not forgotten him.
Released by a death from the ties that kept her in Bre-
tagne, she comes up to Paris and suddenly enters the
lodging of Kerven, with the intention of becoming
his lawful wife and remaining there. This visit em-
barrasses him not a little, and Loisa soon finds
out the melancholy secret, and the coolness of her former
lover, together with the insulting ardour of a roué friend'
who finds her in the apartment, drive her into the street
with such violence that she is nearly run over by a car-
riage, and is brought back in a fainting condition by
Mdlle. de Moranville herself, who is the occupant of the
vehicle. This fine lady, who is made to understand that
Loisa, is the sister of Kerven, takes her under her own
protection. Loin learns that her protectress has gained
the heart of Kerven, while Mdme. de Moranville is mor-
tified to find that the songs and artless manners of the
young Bretonne attract admirers who, previously, had
eyes for her own fascinations alone. At last—after a
delay, which we need not explain, and which rather im-
pedes than furthers the development of the leading idea
—first love re-asserts its rights, and Kerven and Loisa,
quit Paris hand in hand, leaving Mdme. de Moranville to
solace herself with a very respectable suitor.
Mdle. Page was Loisa, and her admirable acting
secured for the piece a success which its weakness of
construction seemed scarcely to deserve. She was fre-
quently and loudly applauded.

RUMOURED NAME OF THE YOUNG PRINCE.—Upon
every auspicious occurrence, such as the birth of a
Prince or Princess, no sooner is the fact of the interest-
ing addition to the Royal family promulgated than the
quid nuncs at the west-end are busy in devising the pro-
bable name to be given to the illustrious infant. With-
out recapitulating the variety given, or stating anything
positive on the subject, we believe the rumour which
assigns that of " George " is the most likely, after his
Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, who would, in
such a case, be a sponsor. Moreover, the young Prince
is borne in the month which reckons the day of "St.
George," England's patron saint.—Sunday Times.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

GENTLEMANLY AMUSEMENT.—Mr. Henry Woodward,
solicitor, Doddington, Cambridgeshire, and Mr. Thomas
Brown, gentleman, 27, Bouverie-street, were brought
before Mr. Bingham, charged with being drunk and dis-
orderly at the Argyll-rooms, Windmill-street. Mr.
Brown was also charged with assaulting police-constable
125 C while in the execution of his duty.
It appeared from the evidence of police-serjeant 4 A,
that on Saturday night he was on duty at the above
rooms, when the defendants, who.were much intoxicated,
applied to the money taker for admission. Seeing that
they were the worse for liquor, the money-taker refused
to allow them to pass, and requested them to go away,
and on their refusing to do so he (the serjeant), with the
assistance of 125 C, took the defendants into custody.
On the way to the station the defendant Brown struck
the constable 125 C several times with a stick which he
had in his hand.
Police-constable 125 C said the blow was not a very
severe one, as the stick was but slight.
Mr. Woodward did not deny being intoxicated, and
the usual penalty of ss. was inflicted.
Mr Brown, admitted striking the constable, but not
with the intention of hurting him.
Mr. Bingham fined him 40s. for the assault on the
constable.

ROBBERY BY A CONFIDENTIAL SERVANT.

George Oh,everton, 35, pleaded guilty to stealing twelve
quarters of wheat, the property of the Commercial Dock
Company.
Mr. Locke was retained for the prosecution, and Mr.
Charnock with Mr. Joyce for the prisoner.
From the statment of Mr. Locke it appeared that the
prisoner had been in the employ of the company for 25
years, and that his father, whom he succeeded, had
been 35 years,. and the greatest confidence had been
reposed in him for years. He had charge of the
warehouses, and on the sth of March he called in a
Mr. Bond, and sold him twelve quarters of red wheat
for 251. 45., which was received by a carman named
Clark, and sent to a dealer named Wright for sale. The
prisoner told Mr. Bond that it was old wheat, and that
he had bought it cheap ; but when it came into MX.
Wright's possession that gentleman identified it as his
own, which had been left in the care of the Dock Com-
pany. Information was given to the latter, when the
prisoner was called before the secretary, Mr. smithers,
to whom he acknowledged his guilt. He also wrote a

The prisoner received a good character from several
tradesmen, and the Court t

hard labour at Wandsworth.

LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 16, 1853.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER has already
received several significant hints as to the neces-
sity of going along with, and in obedience to, the
requirements of the age. If he desire to retain
his position as Financial Minister—if he is solici-
tous as to the stability of the Government of
which he is an influential Member, he must aban-
don some of the traditions of office, and deal with
the fiscal transactions of this Great Empire in a
liberal and enlightened spirit. He must avoid
the quibbling chicanery, more befitting an Old
Bailey lawyer than a British Statesman—must
give full weight to the plain common-sense view
of the subject, address himself rather to the intel-
lect of the many, than to the over-refinement of some

air-splitting casuist like Mr. C. BABBAGE, whose
chief desire is to find plausible arguments in favour
of a palpable absurdity—to startle those who
find themselves unable to refute a proposition,
which, though revolting to common sense, is still
hard to disprove.
Hitherto a locus pcnitentice has been afforded
to him in every instance. But the crisis of his
fate is rapidly approaching. On Monday evening
the Rubicon must be passed—the doubtful step
taken, on which depends the continuance in office
of the Joint-Stock Administration. When once
he has committed himself to a financial scheme--
when once he has laid down the "principles" on
which he is prepared to act, there will be no
further opportunity for evasion or mystification.
Considerable allowance will, of course, be made
with respect to the details ; but on all other
points he must " nail his colours to the mast,"
and sink or swim with the proposition he will
then bring forward.
The most important, the most urgent of al

these questions is the renewal of the Property and
Income Tax, which expired at midnight on the

sth of April instant. That impost produced con-
siderably more than a tithe of the entire revenue
of the country. From the revenue returns for
the financial year ending on that day, it ap-
peared that no less than 5,593,0431. had been
obtained from that source, and that it was also
rapidly increasing, the improvement, when com-
pared with:the preceding year, being no less than
309,243/., representing an addition to the profits
of professional men, merchants, traders, nianufac-

turers, and others who are assessed under Schedule
D, for it is among the industrious middle classes
that the fluctuations are entirely experienced, of no
less than ten and a-half millions of pounds sterling
per annum. This large amount, then, has been re-
linquished, through the determination of the
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER not to give any
intimation, not even the slightest clue as to his
intentions. It is, of course, possible for him to
propose that the new impost—he must move a
renewal of it in some form—may take effect from

The Madrid journals of the 10th have arrived in
due course, but they are two days behind the tele-
graphic dispatch published yesterday, and their
principal contents were given yesterday from a let-
ter of the 10th, received by express. The letter,
however, we perceive, omitted to mention that by
royal decree M. Llorente, Minister of Finance,
was charged with the ad interim administration of
the department of Justice, vacant by the resigna-
tion "from ill health" of M. Vabey. The journals
give a list of the Senators dismissed from public
functions for having voted against the Cabinet
in the Narvaez affair. They are—Lieut.-General
Santos de la Hera, member of the Royal Council ;
M. Lopez de Cordova, ditto ; M. Melchor Ordon-
nez, Governor of the li'rovince of Madrid ; M.
Arrazola, President of the Supreme Tribunal of
Justice ; Lieut.-General Shelly, Director-General
of Cavalry ; and M. Hilarian del Rey, Director-
General in the Ministry of Finance. Decrees
nominate other persons to some of these functions,
and amongst them is one conferring the post of
Civil Governor of Madrid on General Lersundi,
Captain-General of the province. The only other
item of news in the papers is, that one of General
Roncali's daughters was married on the 9th, to
Don Antonio Saavedva, son of a Minister of Foreign
Affairs under Ferdinand VII.; and that the Queen
and King were represented at the ceremony by a
Lady of Honour and a Chamberlain. A letter of
the 11th, received by express, announces that the
Queen had accepted the resignatioa of the Mi-
nisters, which, as stated on Thursday, had been of-
fered by them on the previous evening ; but her
Majesty immediately charged General Roncali to
compose another Cabinet, and he accepted the
task. It was thought, however, that he would
find difficulty in the accomplishment of his mission.
If he should not succeed in it, General Lersundi,
or General Armero, the retiring Minister of
Marine, would, it was said, be entrusted with the
duty by her Majesty.
