Letters of the 10th instant from Rome announce
as certain the Pore's speedy arrival at Rome. In
the Consistory, held on the sth instant, the Cardinals
had received orders to prepare for their departure.
These letters also state, that so far from retarding his
lloraNEss, the late occurrences in Paris would, if
anything, hasten his return to his capital.
M. DE COECELLES was expected at Portici to
regulate his return.
La Putrie in like manner mentions that the POPE
has announced his intention to return to Rome on the
28th. lie proposes to return by land, and he will
step at Terracino and Yelletri, v here General C.a.-
DOVA is to assemble 2,000 men, to be reviewed by
the Holy Father, previous to their being embarked
fur Spain.

At the early hour of nine o'clock, this morning,
his Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by
Colonel Grey and Colonel Gordon, visited the expo-
sition of specimens of French art and manufactures
collected by M. Sallandrouze de Lamoenais in the
spacious premises arranged for the purpose at No, 13,
George-street, Hanover-square. His Royal High-
ness examined, with great minuteness, the whole col-
lection, and was pleased to express his high commen-
dation of it, and of the motives fur forming it ; he
also stated his intention of inducing her Majesty the
Queen to honour it with an early visit.

THE LEGACY OF 10 0001. TO THE NATIONAL
GALLERY.—The will of T. D. Lewis, Esq. (who was the
youngest and only curving son of the celebrated come-
dien), has been proved at Doctors Commons. It is
worthy of public note, and the memory of the deceased
demands public gratitude for a legacy of 10,0001., New
31. ss. per Cent. Annuities to the National Gallery. To
this munificent hequest is attached a gift of a valuable
portrait of the comedian in these words: " From a desire
to perpetuate the memory of one of the best of fathers,
whose private worth and public merit were alike deser-
vedly appreciated, I give and bequeath to the trustees of
the National Gallery the full length portrait of my late
dear father, William Thomas Lewis, Esq., painted by
Sir Martin Archer Shee; and it is my particular request
that, in consideration of the above-mentioned legacy.
they will permanently, provide some conspicuous
and eligible situation in the National Gallery for
the said portrait, and preserve the same in
good condition." The portrait represents the late cele-
brated comedian as the Marquis in the Midnight Hour.
The pecuniary legacy is directed to be invested upon
trust to pay the dividends to Miss Lewis, the testa-
tor's only surviving sister, for life, and at her death
' the 10,000/. is to be transferred to the trustees of the
National Gallery, "To the intent that the dividends,
interest, and annual proceeds to arise therefrom (but not
the capital thereof) may be laid out for the use or ob-
jects of the said gallery, or otherwise in the improve-
ment of the fine arts in such manner as the trustees of
such gallery, or any committee or committees of the
governors or directors thereof for the time being shall
think fit." Miss Lewis is appointed sole executrix of
the will, and, with the exception of the foregoing bene
faction and legacies to the trustees, Thomas Smith
Tarleton, E. q., and William Edward Hilliard, Esq., has
an entire and uncontrolled power of disposition over
the whole property of every kind whatever, including a
valuable collection of plate. In the event of Miss
Lewis not disposing of the whole, or any part of the
estate, some contingent legacies are given to private
friends and charities, and the ultimate residue is to be
divided between the deceased's only surviving relatives.
The property is sworn under 35,0001.
VAUXHALL GARDENS.—That indefatigable caterer
for the public, Mr. Robert Wardell, now that the Casinos
are closed by the imperious mandate of the Middlesex
Solons, is actively engaged in preparing, at this Methu-
selah of public gardens, an entertainment during the
winter mouths specially dedicated to the votaries of
Apollo and Terpsichore. It is understood that the
royal property," as Vauxhall was; fAetiously: styled
by the immortal Simpson, will open on boxing
night, with a comic pantomime, ballet, concert, and ball.
The Waterloo ground, Italian, and other walks, will be
closed to the public, while the "covered ways, as they
I are termed, rotunda theatre, ball-room, and supper pa-
vilion, will be brilliantly illuminated, and heated by means
of warm air apparatus.—Sunday Times.
