In our fourth page we have inserted an article
Odressed to the spurious Political Economists
of the modern school, by an able and intelligent
Correspondent. lie has assailed those fallacious
dogmas, which threaten to be so pernicious
in their effects to the commercial wealth and
maritime power of the Empire, in it vein of irony
not less cutting than the truths which it conveys
are instructive and important to the best interests
of the country.

child went into the room of Captain Fraser, one
-of the lodgers, whose dressing-case was on the

his throat in a most shocking manner. On the re-
turn of his mother, he was found weltering in his
blood, on the parlour,floor : .surgical aid was in-

THE KING'S AQUATIC EXCURSIONS.

ROyal Squadron to ascertain their trim. The Royal Sovereign
this day came into harbour to have some necessary alterations,
when the squadron will be ready to receive his MAJESTY, who
is expected here the day after the Prorogation of Parliament.

THE KING'S ENTERTAINMENT.
[FURTHER PARTICULARS.]
The grand dinner given by the KING on Thursday took
place in the State Room called the Octagon Room ; from its
situation in the Palace it is peculiarly well adapted for the en-
tertainment of such a numerous assemblage. The Royal ban-
quet was most splendidly served up in the State plate, and was
most tastefully displayed. The whole was brilliantly illu-
minated with wax.
The dessert was of the most choice fruits from the Royal Gar-
dens of Kensington, Kew, Hampton Court, and Windsor.
The pines from Kensington were particularly fine and large ;
they were reared under the superintendence of Mr..Ayton, the
Royal gardener. All the State rooms which were opened on
the occasion, as well as. the Octagon Hall, were perfumed with
growing choice flowers and plants, also front the Royal gardens.
The military band attending the King's Gnani were stationed
in the gardens at the back of the Palace, anti played various
marches, overtures, &c.
The music with which the dinner and evening parties were
gratified, was composed by some of the most eminent
Composers, particularly glee music, both modern and ancient.
This style of composition is almoSt peculiar to this country; anti
his Majesty's example in encouraging national music we hope
will be followed by sonic of our Nobility, at whoie Concerts
foreigners only are engaged. The performer/ at his Majesty's
party were—Masters Wesley and Card, Messrs.W. Knyvett,
Terrail, Vaughan, Hawes, T. Welsh, and J. B. Sale ; Sir G.
Smart and Mr. Attwootl presided at the Grand Piano-forte.
The performance commenced with the Invocation to Har-
mony—Come all noble souls, followed by Glorious Apollo,
Webbe—The red Rose. %V. Knyvett—Come buy my Cherries,
Sir J. Stevenson—ln peace love's tunes, A ttwood—The Squir-
rel, Sir Cr. Smart—Since first I saw your face-When winds
breathe soft, Webbe—The mighty Conqueror.
The performance closed about twelve o'clock. The following
were among the distinguished personages at the evening; Party
Lord and Lady Maryborough, Earl of Bristol, Mr. and Mrs.
Wynn, Earl of Scarborough, Earl and Countess of Uxbridge,
Sir C. anti Lady bong, Earl and Countess Cowper, Viscount
Melville, Earl and Countess Bathurst, the Marquis of Bath,
the Marquis of Graham, Lord Grantham, the 31arquis and
Marchioness of Londonderry, Mr. and Mrs. Peel, Captain
Courcy, Sir R. Gardiner, lord Lowther, 51r. and Lady A.
Becket, the Earl of Liverpool, Earl Morley, the Bon. (1.
Villiers, Lord Fife, the 'Earl of Westmorland, Lord and Lady
Uwydyr, Lord Lovaine, Col. Thornton, Sir U. Turner, Lord
St. Helens, Lord Glenlyon, Mr. and Mrs. Arbuthnot, &c. &c.
His MAJESTY will give another grand dinner on Monday
next.

THE AnTs.—Among modern improvements in
the Fine Arts the new species of Engraving, stiled
LITHOGRAPHY, may be considered us entitled to
particular attention and encouragement. This art
has been now carried to such an extent as hardly
to admit or improvement in force and beauty. It is
equally well adapted to all subjects, whether his-
torical, portraiture, the animal world in general,
or landscape. Many admirable specimens in all
these provinces have been presented to the public,
and have, afforded great pleasure to the artist, as
well as to the amateur. We have seen some beauti-
ful specimens of, this style of engraving from Lady
CHARLES LONG, from drawings by her own ad-
mirable pencil. The latest works of this kind
which we have seen are the production of Mr.
WARD, R.A. whose skill as an engraver was
conspicuous before he devoted himself to Paint-
lug, in which he has displayed equal ability, and
now deservedly ranks amongst the most distin-
guished of British artists ; we cannot pay a
higher tribute to our countryman. Mr. Waal)
has recently produced, four lithographic prints,
from his own paintings, in which he has been
a powerful rival to himself, in precision, beauty,
and forcible effect, and may fairly be presumed
to have raised the art to the utmost degree of
perfection. The subject of the first two prints
are MONITOR and SOOTHSAYER, the property of
his MAJESTY ; the third is PRIMROSE (a brood
mare) and FOAL, which belong to the Duke of
GRAFTON, and PnANTom, a celebrated racer,
the property of Sir Joux SHELLEY, Bart., M. P.
It is impossible for engraving, of any species, to
excel these admirable prints in beauty,. promi-
nence, and vivid effect. The horses seem actually
alive, and the back-grounds are nil appropriate
and pleasing. Mr. Winn, it seems, means to
complete a series of twelve horses also taken from
his own pictures, of subjects equally celebrated.)
and the whole will form a valuable addition to any
graphic collection. We ought not to conclude
this article without a due tribute to Mr. ACKER-
MANN, who has now been so long in this country,
and is so thoroughly imbued with Englis,h prin.
ciples and habits, that we may deem him a native.
To Mr. ACKERMANN are we indebted for the
translation of a complete ,Course of LITHO-
GRAPHY, containing clear and explicit instruc-
tions in all the different branches and manners
of that art, with illustrative specimens of draw-
ings, and a History of Lithography, from its
origin to the present time with a portrait of the
inventor, ALOIS SENEFELDIIU, and anecdotes of
his life. This is a valuable, useful, and interest-
ing work. We ought not to conclude without
suggesting, that, as England does not produce
any LITHOGRAPHIC Stones, it would be for the
honour of the country and the art if the heavy
duty were removed which is imposed on the im-
portation, and which must necessarily operate as
a check on its progress.
