SIR JOSIII7A. RE Y NOLDS.-We should.regret the
want of opportunity to enter into a particular ac-
count Of the admirable works of this. Artist, so
honourable,to, the country", as well as to himself,
if we had not the pleasure of knowing that the
public in general arc fully sensible of the treasure
that Is presented to them, and croud to the spot
where it may best-,,2n,---The effect must be highly
advanvigeous to the
.Arts, as it will: refine the
taste and improve the judgment of those Who de-
vote themselves to.paiotipg, and it will also enable
the public at large more properly to appreciate
their Merit, We therefore conceive that much is
owing to those; liberal and' enlightened Patrons
of the Arts by whose efforts the works of Sir
Josutin were assembled in this' manner, and who
have enriched the collection by such of them as
belonged to themselves, We have only to hope
that they will not require the Exhibition of those
exquisite productions of taste; feeling, and genius
to be soon closed, but let them remain till the
public mind shall be thoroughlyimbued with their.
excellence.

The Rev, Dr. BELA., the inventor of the New
System of Education, wafalso present to witness
the steiking effects produced by his excellent
mode of communicating instruction to the iufant
mind, and to see before him at the National
Schools an instance of. the benefits %vhich thoit-
sands, in every part of the country, are at this
Moment deriving from his inimitable system.
Nothing could surpass the correct and steady
conduct of the children, the knowledge imparted
to them of the principles of our fioly religion, or
the accurate manner-iii which both boys al.d girls
passed their examinati .11 in tl.o Catechkm, Lout
in the business of the6r respective classes. 1 was
particularly struck with the-devotion andearnest-
ness with which all the children, amounting to
800,- joioed in the Lord's P a; car, and in singing
part of the Evening hymn. The whole company
were much affected at thus witnessing the truth
of the Psalmist's observation—" Out of the mouths
of babes and sucklings thou hast pofected praise."
