SURREY AND SUSSEX.

The association which is in course of formation for l
the prosecution of this useful undertaking has, we en.
derstand, received promises of encouragement and sup-
port from nearly all the landed proprietors through whose
-property it is intended the proposed line shall traverse.
No opposition is anticipated, either from the Duke of
Norfolk or Col. 'Wyndham, as the line will, by its junc-
tion at Guildford, make a direct communication with the
metropolis, and render available the produce of several
towns and villages which aro now without railroad
communication. Such an enterprise cannot?, fail to be
beneficial to the surrounding districts. Large quantities
of timber are grown there ; and the agricultural produce
which is raised, situated as it is in the most fertile dis-
trict of England, is of great importance ; but hitherto,
owing to the want of unproved means of transport, hag
been rendered comparatively unavailable. The port of
Arundel, at a small expense, can be rendered deep
enough for ships of large burden ; and at this present
time exertions are being made to deepen the harbour.
This port carries on a large trade with Sunderland and
other towns ; it is nearly opposite to Havre, and when
the improvements in the harbour are completed, and a
railroad connects the town with the metropolis, a great
increase of trade must be expected. We have reason to
expect that, in the course of a few weeks, plans will . e
matured, and the operations will be commenced.--44/

REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS ON
THE FINE ARTS.

The following is the tenth report of the Commissioners.
on the Fine Arts :

"To THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.
" We, the Commissioners appointed by your Majesty for
the purpose of inquiring whether advantage might not be
taken of the rebuilding of your Majesty's Palace at West-
minster—wherein your Majesty's Parliament is wont to
assemble—for the purpose of promotir', and encouraging
the fine arts in your Majesty's united kingdom, and in
what manner an object of so much importance might be
most effectually promoted, bog leave to report to your
Majesty the progress of the works recommenced by us, in
accordance with the duties prescribed to us.
" The series of eight fresco paintings in the Upper Wait-
ing-hall is now completed. In first
.proposing that the
apartment should be decorated with paintings executed in
that method we observed—viz., in oar report of the 7th of
August, 1845—that we were desirous to afford opportuni-
ties for tho further practice of fresco-painting, and for the
cultivation of the style of design which is fitted for it, *
provided the architectural arrangements and the light
should, on the completion of the apartment, be found to
be adapted for the purpose.' The room was ultimately
found to be but scantily lighted, but we 'conceived that,
as the paintings would admit of being closely inspected,
that objection was in itself less important ; while, on
the other hand, it might not be without its use expe-
rimentally, by suggesting a treatment adapted to such a
condition.
" We have now to add that, apart from the important
objects, more or less attained in the designs referred to, of
appropriate conception and expression in reference to the
bects, these experimental works will be of use in showing
what are the external qualities generally essential in fresco-
painting, and especially so under given local circumstances.
It will be for artists to consider, in witnessing the effect of
these works, to what 'extent the great requisite of distinct-
ness, as resulting, in its perfection, from intelligible forms,
perspicuous arrangement, and the judicious distribution of
light and dark massee; has or has not been kept in view,
subject to the local conditions of light, the size of the
apartment, and the dimensions of the paintings ; and sub-
ject to the general technical conditions of fresco painting
—a method requiring, from its comparatively limited re-
sources, an especial attention to simplicity and significance
in representation.
"In the House of Lords 11 of the 18 metal statues of
barons and prelates are now placed in the niches intended
to receive them. The seven remaining statues are the
only works coming under our superintendence now to be
completed for this chamber.
"In St. Stephen's-hall, without as yet contemplating
the execution of the frescoes intended for that locality, we
pi•oposc that the series of 12 marble statues of eminent
statesmen named in our fourth report, bearing date the
25th of April, 1845, should be gradually conikpleted.
cordingiy, iu addition to the three already executed and
placed in the ball, we have given commissions to five
artists to execute each a statue of one of such personages.
" With regard to the Prince's Chamber, which we pro.
pose to decorate with statues, bas-reliefs, and other works,
as detailed in our seventh report, dated the 13th of July,
147, we have commissioned John Gibson, B.A. to exec ate
a statue of your Majesty, with figures of Justice and
Clemency, and with bas-reliefs on the pedestal, to be placed
in the recess on the north side of the apartment. We
have also employed Mr. William 'need to prepare a
series of bas-reliefs, to be subsequently cast in metal, for
the panels on the walls. _

"-Of the frescoes intended for your
nMis4lelstsyst'rart7vbeinogf

report, four have been completed. devote his whole time to

satisfactory, whether
regardedcr in their general treatment, or as examples of the
method of fresco-painting.
" We have commissioned John Rogers Herbert, R.A..,
to prepare a series of designs for frescoes to be executed in
the Peers Robing room, according to a scheme so indicated
in our seventh report. . The room itself is not yet built,
audit is therefore expected that the artist's designs will
be completed by the time the walls are in a fit state to re-
ceive frescoes.
" We have also given our attention to the decoration of
the principal corridors connecting the Central Hall with
the two Houses of Parliament. We have accordinglycommissioned Edward Matthew Ward, AI:LA., to under-
take the Commons corridor, and Charles West Cope, R.A..
to undertake the Peers' corridor. The subjects intended
for these localities are enumerated in our seventh report,
in which it is also proposed that the pictures should be
painted in oil.
"We further propose to commission Daniel Machu.
R.A., to paint in fresco, iu the Painted Chamber, or Can'
ference-hall, the subject of the marriage of Strongbow and
Eva, the subject being one of the series selected by us for
that apartment. The design for the fresco so proposed to
be executed will he adapted, according to the requirement
of fresco, from an oil picture of the same subject executed
by the artist on his own account, and which he has treated
with great ability.
" In our last report, dated the 11th
humbly stated to your Majesty that the Lords
topro.
Commis-
sioners of your Majesty's Treasury had consented
amounting to
pose to Parliament an annual expenditure

4,0001. to defray the cost of the various livto

benefit, but without success, and the disease ultimately.
assumed so severe an aspect, that it was considered am-

Hopeless as his case appeared, he resolved not to un-
