ROLLS COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

His Lordship, the MASITIL of the Rou.s, was occupied
the whole morning with motions, chiefly on points of prac-
tice, of no general public interest.

VICE-CHANCERY-(THIS DAY.

:MACINTOSH V. EVERINGTON.
Mr. KNIGHT applied this morning, in this case, for the
revival of an injunction which bad been granted by the
Court some time since. Our readers will recollect that, in
November last an application was made on behalf of Mr.
Macintosh, the manufacturer of the cloaks that bear his
name, for an injunction to restrain the defendant from
manufacturing a similar article, which he alleged was an in-
fringement of a patent he had obtained. Upon that appli-
cation, which was. made ex parte, the Court granted the
injunction. In December an application was made on be-
half of the defendant to dissolve that injunction, and upon
that occasion it was agreed by all parties that the injunc-
tion should be dissolved without prejudice, the plaintiff
being put to bring an action. After that an application
was made to the Court for the purpose of postponing the
trial, but that application was refused with costs. The
trial took place on the'2sth and 26th February, and a ver-
dict was then found for the plaintiff, establishing the patent.
At the conclusion of the trial an application was made, on
behalf of the defendant, for leave to enter a nonsuit, and
no notice had been given of a motion for a new trial.. Un-
der these circumstances the Learned Counsel trusted that
he had made out a case for the revival of the injunction.
Mr. JACOB, on behalf of the defendant, denied that the
verdict established the validity of the patent. It was the
intention of the defendant to apply for a new trial in the
next Term, which was the earliest possible moment he
could adopt that course. He submitted, therefore, that
the Court would not order the injunction to be rev'ved
until the fifth day of next Term.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR was of opinion that the injunc-
tion ought to be revived. He did not find that there was
any complaint made of the reception cf evidence by the
Learned Judge that ought not to have been received, or of
the rejection of evidence which ought to have been received.
If the defendant succeeded in the second trial, of course
be would be at liberty to apply to dissolve the injunction.

WAVERLEY NOVELS. PARTS 5,6, 7,8, 9, 10.
Fisher. London. 1836.
This is a new series of Scott's immortal novels, publishing
weekly in shilling parts, and printed from the author's own
edition, being in fact, the only one which contains all his
last notes, introductions, and corrections. It has further the
advantage of being illustrated by a variety of engravings
from designs furnished by Turner, and also by George
Cruickshank, who has engaged to contribute a series of
comic illustrations. A few of these last are now lying before
us, and are executed in George's very best manner. Alto-
gether, the edition is the cheapest and the most complete of
any that has yet appeared.

PRACTICAL LATIN GRAMMAR.
East. London, 1836.
A. very useful elementary treatise, remarkable for its
simplicity and conciseness ; but most inconveniently printed
in two thin volumes, instead of being comprised in one.
Should the work reach a second edition, this defect should
be remedied, for schoolmasters will be apt to complain of
it, as a drawback on the general utility of the work.

LANDSCAPE—HISTORICAL ILL USTRA-
TIONS OF SCOTLAND.
Fisher. London, 1836.
The second and third Parts of this Work have just
reached us ; they contain six engravings—for the most part
Landscapes—from designs supplied by Turner and other
eminent artists, illustrative of the scenery of Guy Man-
nering and Waverley. Brief descriptions are attached to
each print, from the pen-of the Rev. G. Wright.

LAS CASES' MEMOIRS. Colburn. London, 1836.
Mr. Colburn deserves great credit for the cheap, com-
pact, and handsome form in which he is getting up these
memoirs of the last years of Napoleon, which are publishing
in weekly parts, like the Waverley Tales, and are embel-
lished, like them, with numerous appropriate en-
gravings. We understand that the republication, so
far as it has yet gone, has met with prodigious suc-
cess ; and we do not wonder at it, for the author
(Count Las Cases) is a most faithful and animated his-
torian, and was in the full confidence of the Emperor
Napoleon, of whose manners, habits and conversations,
during his exile at St. Helena, he gives, if possible, even a
better, certainly a more minute account, than even O'Meara
himself has furnished us with. The present part contains
an engraving of Sir Hudson Lowe, who looks much more
like a rat-catcher, than an officer in the British army. We
cannot, however, vouch for the accuracy of the likeness,
having never seen the jailor of Napoleon.

FINE ARTS.

SOCIETY OF BRITISH ARTISTS.
A private view of this exhibition took place on Saturday
in Suffolk-street. It is a highly creditable exhibition, of
more than average excellence, containing many historici
paintings and well-executed landscapes, though fewer por.
traits than usual—a deficiency, however, to which few
vi
sitors will feel inclined to object. Among the historica
pictures we may single out for praise Linton's " Jerusalem"
at the instant of the crucifixion, which, though perhaps it
reminds us'somewhat too much of Martin's manner, is strik-
ing in its effects, and remarkably successful in its colouring.
" Home-brewed" is from • the pencil of F. Pidding, and_ is
happily conceived and executed. A jolly old farmer, sur-
rounded by a family party of gossips, is criticizing, evidently
with strong gusto, the merits of some genuine English ale.
The expression of his countenance bespeaks the connois-
seur, and is, otherwise, full of appropriate character. The
grouping too of the picture is admirable. " Newton dis-
covering the loss of his Papers," by Goblet, evinces 'no
ordinary powers of mind. The philosopher's countenance,
which betrays deep regret and vexation, chastened how-
ever by tfie long enforced habits of calm reflection, could
only have been pourtrayed by one who was well skilled in
the expression of the human face—perhaps the greatest
difficulty which a young. artist has to struggle with in his
profession. " Bingley Gate," near the city of Canterbury,
I is remarkable for some skilfully painted cattle, which proves
that the author has studied the works of Paul Potter with
success. Yet he is no servile imitator of the manner of that
great artist, being merely indebted to him, here and there, for
a judicious hint. " Smuggler looking out" is a very manly
and vigorous production, particularly as respects the head
of the smuggler, which is full of bold expression, and most
skilfully coloured. " A Peasant Girl of Frescati," is by
Hurlstone. It is natural and graceful, though not without
some few trivial defects in regard to the colouring. " Pea-
sant Boys of the Abruzzi Mountains" by the same 'artist, is
in it much better style, and reminds us not unfavourably of
Murillo—indeed parts of the picture may almost vie in
firmness and propriety of colouring, strong and fervid, with-
out exaggeration, of that Spanish artist's fine production in
the Dulwich Gallery. Haydon's " John Bull at Break-
fast" is capital. What a promising appetite John shows
With what a gloating eye, full informed with the true gas-
tronomic expression, he eyes the edibles 1 The picture
almost gives one an appetite to look at it. " Portrait of a
Lady," by Salter, is clever, and gives us a high idea of the
talents of this young artist, who is among the most rising
of his day. The painting, however, seems as if it were
hung in a wrong light ; but even with this manifest draw-
back, it rivets the eye of the spectator. The drawing is
singularly fine, and the colouring and expression just. Mrs.
C. Pearson has one or two good portraits, and among them
one of Sheriff Salomons, which, as a likeness, is not t 9 ,he
mistaken. There are nearly nine hundred subjects in the
Gallery.
