were the ARCHBISHOP of YORK, Lord and Lady
DERBY, Lord MOUNT EDGECHNIBE, Ladies STAN-
LEY, LENNARDS, CAVE, Lady A. ti ErtNox and fa-

THE ARTS.— As it is a double .gratification
to do honour to the worth of the dead, and
at the same time to encourage living merit, how-
ever different in its nature, we mention with plea-
sure, that Mr. BATE, an artist of high repute in- the
province of Enamel Painting, has made an admirable
portrait of our late wise and virtuous Statesman,
Mr. PITT. The artist has founded his picture on
the excellent portrait of that great man, which does
so much honour to the professional powers of the late
Mr. HOPPNER j but without, in the smallest degree,
impairing the similitude, he has varied the expression.
In t he picture of Mr. BATE, the great Statesman exhi-
bits a placid benevolence, as it rather indulging him-
self in wishes for the happiness of mankind, than as if
absorbed in profound contempht ion on measures for
effeeting his philanthropic purposes. This is a
point of view in which, among the various portraits
that have been made of Mr. PITT, he had not been
represected. The effed pleasing and interesting,
. pat ticularly as the artist painted it con amore, from
iespe& to tiie memory of a distinguished prop
and ornament of the civilized world. The art of
ENAMEL PAINTING, which was sinking into oblivion,
or only employed on insignificant subjects, is, we
are glad to find, rising into high reputation, by the
exertions of such Professor)) as Bon
sts, and BATE, and
may, indeed, he said tb surpass ,what it was in the
zenith of its t,li.le. This elegant art,, which is un-
rivalled in permanency, is likely to rise into higher
distinction, for, among the liberal prottctors of the
latter Artist is the PriIICESS ELIZABETH, whose pa-
tronage is safticient to set FASHION on the side of
GENIUS.

John Marsden, a lunatic, confined in the York
Hospital, Pimlico, evaded his keeper pa •Friday, and
got into the adjoining fields before he was discover-
ed. He was pursued as iar as Sloane-square, where
he was overtaken, and enticed back to the hospital,
whence he again escaped, and got on the top of the
building, but was secured. He had on a straight
waistcoat the whole of the time, and he suddenly
got away from his keeper again in the evening, by
opening the ward door with his mouth, his hands
having been secured. He, however, succeeded in
getting over the paling, whence he plunged into
the Led of a privy, and was smothered. VerdiCA.—
