SPANISH SUBSCRIPTION.

The following is a Copy of the Protest ten-
dered at the Common Council, on Monday last,
and which the Court refused to receive :
" London, June 10, 1823.
" To the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor of the City of London.
We, the undersigned Aldermen and Members of the
Court of Common Council, do beg to lay before your Lord.
ship our Protest against the Vote of the Court of Common
Council assembled on the 10th instant, on the question
for contributing a sum of money out of the cash of this City
in behalf of the People of the Peninsula of Europe, as such
Vote in our opinion ts'wholly unprecedented, and tends to oppose
the system of neutrality wisely adopted by the Executive Govern-
ment of this country, and sanctioned by the two Houses of Parlia-
ment; and also as it grants the cash of the Mayor and Com-
monality of this City to purposes foreign and unconnected
with its municipal interests, and because such also appears to
us to be injurious to the national benefit.
(Signed) "W. Curtis, Rd. Carr Glyn, C. Flower, John

G.ARRICIi AND HIS PICTURES.

These were the last legitimate memorials of
that mighty master, who, in practically illustrat-
ing the works of the " Great Bard," left every
competitor at such an immeasurable distance.—.
Most of the domestic pictures were painted by
the express order of Mr. GARRICK, and under
his immediate superintendence and direction.—
The retired-habits of Mrs. GARRICK, during the
latter period of her life, owing to extreme old.
age, and the natural infirmities consequent on a
protracted existence, had occasioned many- of
these rare gems to be forgotten, except by a_few
amateurs, artists and actors who could obtain
permission to view the interior of " Garrick's

villa" at Hampton and his residence on the
Adelphi Terrace. it is always of use to know
in whose possession pictures and gems remain, in
which persons of taste feel a deep interest.--
These relics were sold by Mr. CHRISTIE, at his
Rooms in Pall-mall, on Monday last, and his ex-
ordium upon the merits of the great actor were
worthy of the accomplished" Returning Officer,"
as Mr. CHRISTIE humorously designated him•
self, after having awarded Hogarth's very cele.
brated set of four Election subjects, for sixteen
hundred and fifty guineas, to Mr. SOAVE.

SINGULAR AFFECTION OF A DOG.---We are
credibly informed that, a few days since, some
person on the opposite side of the river (in
Duchess county}, for some supposed, or perhaps
sufficient cause, shot a dog, and, as he supposed,
mortally wounded him. The dog was in afield
at the time, distant, and probably out of sight
from any dwelling. He was felled to the ground.
A person living adjacent to the spot, severali
days immediately succeeding (without having
any knowledge of the fact that the dog had been
shot), observed his dog daily, after being fed,
run with alacrity with part of his rations iu
mouth, in the direction where the wounded dog
was found ; be was from this unusual conduct or
his dog induced to follow him, when, to his ast,)--
nishment, he found that his dog bad been some
days carrying comfort and sustenance to his un-
fortunate fellow-quadruped, who had by this
means been saved, become convalescent, and re-
stored to his master. What a lesson to poor
human nature !—(American Paper.)
