MR. COURTS' PAINTING OF BOIS D'ANGLASSY
AT TILE NATIONAL. CONVENTION.-This celebrated picture,
which has excited so much attention on the Continent, is now
on view in London. We have paid it a visit, and were al-
most equally struck with the talent of the painter, and the
horror of the scene he has represented. The subject of the
picture is what is termed the invasion of the National Conven-
tion, on the first of Prairial, in the third year of the French
Republic, when the mob of Paris, armed with pikes, sabres,
and muskets, forced their way into the Hall of the Conven-
tion, and committed the most enormous atrocities. The mo-
ment seized by the painter for representation, is that when
the insurgents, after murdering the Deputy, General Ferand,
who had opposed their advance, having placed his head on
ft pole and marched with it round the Hall, advanced with
to the President's chair, and held it up before him. At
this moment Boissy d'Anglas (the President), stands up, takes
off his hat, and bows with reverence before the head of the
martyr of law and liberty. His mind appears by his counte-
nance to be almost the only one capable of sustaining a dig-
nified serenity in the midst of such a scene of horror. The
other Deputies avert their eyes from beholding the reekinc,
head of their murdered colleague, while the leaders of the
mob, and the furies in the form of women by whom they are
accompanied, gaze with delight on the exploit they have
achieved. A negro insurgent has placed himself in the ros-
trum, where " grins horribly a ghastly smile," as he views
the bleeding head. The picture contains upwards of 60 por-
traits of persons distinguished in the scenery, besides nu-
merous groups of male and female insurgents. The expres-
sion of countenance of many of the most prominent actors in
the terrific exhibition, marks the highest order of talent in the
painter.
NEW PLANT.—CORREA IVIILNERII.—This beau-
tiful plant, which is between a speciosa and C. pulchelea, and
which was exhibited at the Horticultural and Metropolitan
Societies, is at length in the hands of the Lowes, Browns,
Henderson, and other principal nurserymen ; but the smallest
plants are from three to six guineas, or about a guinea an
inch. This reminds one of the noise made when Lee and
Kennedy first let out the fuchsia. The total number of plants
of the correa, small and great, in existence, is said to be thirty-
one. Fifty pounds have been offered for the seedling plant...—

AFFAIR OF HONOUR.--A hostile meeting took
place on Wednesday, in a field near Wimbledon, between
Captain F— and Mr. W—, relative to some slighting
expression conceived to have been made use of by the latter,
respecting the late " Hermit in London," and calculated to
wound the feelings of Mrs. Kingston, the interesting and
accomplished daughter of that gentleman. The distance be-
ing duly measured, Captain T—, second to the aggrieved,
gave the word, and Captain H--'s ball whizzing past his
antagonist,
his aggressor fired in the air; and upon a brief
ex-
planation,
rwhich ended the whole business, was proved to have
originated in a misunderstanding, all parties declaring them-
selves to have been unqualified admirers and staunch friends of
the late distinguished author. —Morniny Paper.
Whether sincere or not, Canning spoke the truth
when he said that a reform of the House of Commons must be
followed by a corresponding change in the Lords. The neces-
sity of this change becomes every day more apparent. The
democratic and the aristocratic branches of the Legislature are
as ill paired as a living man would be were he encumbered
with the weight and offensiveness of a dead one. —Hull Adv.
