The 35th depot has lately joined this (Exeter)
garrison, having singular facings—orange colour: On in-
quiry, it appears that WILLIAM 111., as Prince of ORANGE,
was its Colonel.— Western Luminary.

" I have a peculiar pleasure and pride in the
pictures I send to remote countries, which are unac-
quainted with the higher works and principles of art.—
They might with security be deceived, and slighted by
me. The judgment, difficulty, (if I may say it,) the
science of the picture, will be lost upon them ; but after
they have, perhaps, for years liked and admired it, as a
resemblance, and being satisfied that it is a fair specimen
of my talent, some great artist or true connoisseur may
come among them, ~nd then they will learn that in every
part it is one of my most finished productions; that even
for the Monarch of my own country, I could not have
laboured with more skill and vigilance than I have done
for strangers, whom I shall never see, and from whom
neither praise might he expected, nor censure feared."--
Life and Correspondence of Sir T. Lawrence.

The Tories are " composing themselves to
submit to the Bill !" They have discovered that there is
" much reason for cheering anticipation,"—" that out of
power they will no longer be the objects of that unpopu-
larity which always attaches itself to the dominant party,
and that then the road to popularity will be once more
open to them ;'.—that, in fact " their present reverses
furnish them with the Lest ground for hope." Three
weeks ago we were told that " the Bill" would inevitably
subvert the Throne, overwhelm the Aristocracy, and de-
stroy the Church. The fundholders were menaced with
robbery—the agriculturalists were threatened with undis•
tinguishing ruin. The Bill was to consign them to mud
hovels, where they were "to enjoy themselves all the year
round upon fermented cabbage-leaves, and to go without
shirts, or any other shoes than could be scooped out of a
block of willow timber with a sharp knife!" Small in-
deed would be the "ground for hope" in a state of things
so deplorable as this ; and yet the Tories, it seems, have
already discovered the " best ground for hope." Hope in
once "merry England," without King, Aristocracy, or
Church ! Are the Tories themselves prepared to take part
in the "general scramble" which they have so confidently
predicted ? and do their anticipations of the lion's share
furnish them with these best "grounds for hope ;" or do
they not know that the country will go on and prosper
even after the disfranchisement of Old Sarum and Gatton ?
Were not their clamorous wailings mere moonshine_the
tricks of skilful electioneering tacticians, put forth whilst
the question between the King and his kingdom was sub.
judice, and when consequently much might possibly be
gaMed by appealing to the passions, the prejudices, or
the fears of the people?
