ROYAL ACADEMY.

On Saturday the Pnontssoit of ANATOMY at
this Institution delivered his sixth and last lecture for the in-
struction of the students. Ile regretted that the limited period
assigned to his lectures obliged hint to treat his subject in a
more superficial way than he wished ; but he would propose, as
a-compensation, the admission of the students to his school of
anatomy, where every opportunity should be affurded them for
the prosecution of their study. Mr. GUEEN then proceeded to
discuss the muscles of the fore-arm and hand. lie dwelt par-
ticularly on the structure of the thumb, and remarked how won-
derfully that member of the hand was adapted by its strength,
and facility of movement, for the execution of the most labo-
rious as well as most delicate kinds of workmanship. Before he ,
entered on the muscles of the lower extremity, the Professor
took a cursory glance of those that run along the spine up so
the occiput, which he remarked are strongly expressed in the
neck of the Farnese Hercules, and give its remarkable breadth
and fulness. These muscles, he further observed, served to
make the neck of the bull, the stallion; and the wolf, so full
and large. In the lower extremity the most remarkable muscle
was the gluteus; indeed, he considered this muscle one of the
most prominent features of the human form. Why, he asked,
should it be so large in man ? It furnished one of the strongest
evidences in support of the opinion that man was designed
for erect posture, since its only use was not to carry back the
kg, but it was also a primary agent in preserving the body in
its upright position. In all the monkey tribes this muscle
was comparatively very diminutive, and those animals could
not stand erect for any length of time. The erect posture was
with them a forced one. Mr. Green next went over the mus-
cles of the face, describing their different action, and pointing
oat the influence the passions of the mind exercise over their
forms, and the consequent result in expression. He observed,
that with regard to expression, the artist should depend on
actual observation, and industriously collect materials for his
study front nature herself. He dwelt on the power of the will
over the features, and pointed out the general character of in-
telligence peculiar to the human countenance. It was no ob-
jection to this observation, he said, that there appeared in the
Australasian savage such a brutish and vacant expression. Ile
was not the represemtive of the genus, but of a pardeitlar
family of the human race. Still, in the midst of all this bru-
tality, the essence of humanity was seen gleaming through a
troubled medium. The professor adverted to the varieties of
expression in the human countenance. There was one general
form ;, and the difference in the portraits of the greatest and •
the wisest, exhibited merely so many different declensions in
the character of man. In alluding to propriety of expression,
he referred to the story of the young Greek actor, who having
to perform the character of Agamemnon, came before the
audience in a bold and Confident style, with a lively step and
elevated head. The audience were enchanted, and loudly ap-
plauded him. A solitary hiss alone was heard, and this, to the
surprise and indignation of all, proceeded front the teacher of
time new actor. The audience insisted on his immediately per-
' forming the part himself. This the old actor complied with.
and came on the stage with a slow step ; his arms folded, his
eyes cast down, and his head reclining on his breast. He soon
made the spectators recognise the true personification of the
leader of the Grecian forces, on whom the hopes of his country
rested, and taught them to distinguish it fawn the rant and
fury of an Ajax proceeding to battle. Mr. Green's lecture., a
few points of which we have given above, was at its conclusion
loudly applauded.

MATCH FROM GIITON.-31 r. Tomlinson, the celebrated
runner, made a bet of 100 soy. that he would go on foot from
the extremity of Brighton, to the Quadrant Coffee-house, Re-
gent-street, (63 miles), in ten hours. The pedestrian accom-
plished the first 20 miles, to the entrance of Tilgate Forest, a
few minutes within three hours, and proceeded on to the 26th
mile-stone, and halted. He laid down for a short time on
straw, in a covered van which accompanied him. He reached
the summit of Ryegate Hill in four hours and a half, having
five hours and a half to do the remaining 22 miles in. Air. T.
timed himself at rather more than four miles an hour ; took
half an hour to his mutton-chop dinner at Tooting, and won
the match leisurely, with ten minutes to spare.

WESTMINSTER SCHOOL.—T ER ENCE'S Comedy
of The Andrian was played for the third time last night. His
Royal highness the Duke of Yon= honoured the company with
his presence. He sat immediately under the proscenium ; on his
left sat the Lord Bishop of LONDON and the SPEAKER of the
House of Commons. His Royal Highness, on his entrance,
was received with the most enthusiastic cheers, the whole house
standing. He seemed in excellent health and spirits, and se-
veral times during play evinced much delight at the classical
exertions of the young Gentlemen, who all appeared to exceed,
if possible, their former efforts upon this occasion. The side
boxes were filled with Ladies of distinction and fashion.
The Duke of BUCK I NGHAM was convicted on
Saturday, at Mr. Lloyd's office, Winchester, in two penalties
and costs, incurred in consequence of his Christian and surname
not being painted on his waggons, as required by the statute.—
(County Chronicle.)

Two horses, the property of Thomas May,
Esq. Southwark, New-road, and Mr. Hall, Chief Constable of
Union-hall, which were at grass in a field near Brixton, were
cropped close, manes and tails, by some evil-disposed persons.
It is more unaccountable, as the whole of the hair stolen would
not fetch two shillings, and the damage sustained is estimated
at fifty pounds.
KEAN is playing at New York with great suc-
cess. His apologetical and supplicatory letter
completely allayed the excitement against him.
At the close of the second day's play he came
forward and begged pardon for his past conduct,
and assured the Howe they should have no future
cause of complaint. The opposition entirely
died away in a few evenings, and the Theatre
was nightly crowded with ladies.
