THE ART TREASURRS

The Earl of Yarborough will contribute to the Exhibi•
tion the 20 valuable pictures of which a list is subjoined.
In connection with the two paintings bee Turner which
are therein included a noble example of generosity on the
Some me ago "The Wreck of the Minotaur" was
being engraved by •Mr. T. 0. Barlow, a gentleman
from the neighbourhood of Manchester, and, in the
course of conversation with him Lord Yarborough in-
quired what institution was it existence for the relief of
unfortunate artists, or those who were incapacitated by
infirmity. Being informed that the Artists' Benevolent
Fund was an establishment with that object, Lord Yar-
borough soon afterwards employed Mr. Barlow to en-
grave the other painting by Turner, "The opening of the
Vintage at IVLla.non," and presented the plates of both
ptctures for the exclusive benefit of the institution above
named. The engraving of these two plates involved at,
expenditure by his lordAnp of upwards of 3,0001. In
order to sec•,nd this act of liberality to the utmost of
their power, the c•munittee of the Art-Treasures Exhibi-
tion have resolved to allow the engravings to be placed
near the originals in the Exhibition, with the hope that
the copies may there find purchasers. The excellence of
the object has been thought sufficient to justify a depar-
ture from the rule, that no work for sale shall be ad-
Mitted to the Exhibition. The following is the list above

a mother and her four children, were discovered in a state
of nudity and starvation at 7, Wall:tier-place,
Maryle-
bone —a house but partly inhabited, and in which they
had concealed themselves. Inforunatiln was at once
forwarded to the parish authorities who quickly attend-
ed, and having administered stiniulants to the unheppy
sufferers Buited to their sinking condition, had th,in re-
moved to the workhouse infirmary, where the wretched
mother died yesterday morning. The: parish officers
have learns that the woman's name was Elizabeth Mann,
and that she had formerly cohabited with a party named
Franklin, and went by his name. The children—three
girls,
aged respectively 14, 12, andll
years, and a boy,
ag..d 7—bad, as well as their unfortunate parent, beeninMates of the workhouse, but were on her request dis-
charged in September last. How they have been living
since is at present a mystery.
