Yesterday afternoon about three o'clock, as two
men, of fashionable exterior, who were in a gig drawn by
a spirited horse, were pr6sceeding along Hounsditch, the
animal, frightened by a sudden noiso, started off at a fear-
ful rate towards Aldgate. The reins breaking, the driver
lost all control of the horse, when a young man named
William Matthews, a vender of small articles in the street,
observing their danger, at the risk of his life rushed for-
ward and seized the horse by the head. In doing this, he
stumbled, and the horse, continuing his eerier, dragged
him a consideraje distance; he, however, kei:t hold of the
reins, and at lasi succeeded hi stopyieg the animal, be-
fore which one of the gentlemen was thrown out on the
pavement, but foi tunately escaped with a few slight contu-
sions. The gentlemen generously presented him with
three pence 1 and drove off without giving their rows,
amidst Itootiris of.tho crf4Y4,

FINE ARTS.

,JOHN KNOX ADMINISTERIAG THE
SACRAMENT.
Hodgson and Graves, London, 1841.
We were favoured yesterday with a private • -
view of this historical painting, which is the pro-
duction of Mr. W. Bounar, of the Royal Scottish
Academy. The subject is the administration of
the first Protestant Sacrament in Scotland, at
the Castle of St. Andrew's, by John Knox, who
is represented in an attitude of imposing
dignitY,
addressing the communicants at the women!
when the sacred elements have just passeu
from his hands into those of his excited congre"
gation. In a prominent situation in the centre
of the picture sits Lilias, the wife of Lord Drunl"
mond, and the daughter of Lord Ruthven ; in
her hand is placed the sacramental cup, which
she holds with an air of calm mental satisfac-
tion, as she listens to'the pastor's admonitions
beside her is her sister Barbara, waiting to re-
ceive the sacred emblem of her faith. I
_minedi-
atel3- behind them, and in the act of breaking
the bread, stand the sister and daughter of Sir,
James Sandilands. Still further in the rear 01
the picture is the Earl of Glencairn, a zcalfni,is
adherent of the Reformed faith ; and bey
o
him is seen the stern countenance of Sir Jaines
Balfour, who is directing the attention of the wail-
clad Lord Ruthven to a statue of St. And wre,
which adorns the chapel. Among the right:
hand group, and nearest the spectator, is seated,
the celebrated Sir David Lyndsay of the Mount--
cc Lord Lion, King of Arms," as Sir Walter
Scott calls him in Marmion. The countenance
of this eminent man is full of thoughtful beant)i.
and the expression has been admirably hit l)„
by the artist. Bending over Sir David Lyndsay'
stands Norman Leslie, who appears to bay
just quitted the battlements, in order to be pre-
sent at the solemn communion ; and at the table;
in front of him, is the young, intelligent, ttant;
high-minded Earl of Arran, together with
James Sandilands. These • two figures are t
best in the picture, and their attitudes are rie:
plete with ease and dignity. On the whole, ta;
painting is a very superior one ; every part 0;
the canvas is well filled out, without crowcling,o
confusion ; the various characters are nicelYCe ;
fined and discriminated ; and there is gr—d
power as well as breadth in the lights itle
shadows. The picture will make an admiral'
engraving.
