THE ARTS.—The Monument in honour of Cap -
tains . Moss and Riou, who so gallantly lost their
lives in supporting the Rights of their Country be-
fore Copenhagen, has been placed in St. Paul's Cal.
thedral. It consists of two figures of Victory on op-
posite sides of the Tablet, each holding a medallion,.
representing profile likenesses of those lamented
sons of valour. ' The whole supports a sarcophagus.
. The figures of Vglory are as well contrasted. as the'
- design would admit, considering that one monument
was to serve for two persons. Rossi is the Artist,
and the work is very creditable to his talents, though
we understand that he was not left to the diredion
of his own mind as to the design, which was sug-
gested by the Committee appointed for the Regula-
tion of Monumental Honours decreed by Parliarnent
as the rewards of those who nobly fill in the Service
of their Country.

Cardiff Rates commenced on Wednesd3y se'n-
night : only two horses started for the maiden plate,
.viz. Junius, a 3-year old colt belonging to Mr.
JONES, of Foninon Castle ; and Yelling Starling,
a colt of the same age, belonging to Mr. Fluns.r.
The first heat 'was won by Junius, and the second
was very closely contested until.they came near the
distance-post, when Mr. Hun ST'S colt bolted, and run-
ning full speed against the fence-bank, threw himider
some distance, and rolled over him. a person on the
opposite side of the course, heedlessly running to the
assistance ofMr. ifußsr's rider, and coming in con-
ta6t with Junius, was run over, and received such
a violent blow on the chest as nearly to deprive him
of life. The horse fell, but recoveriw himself, the
rider kept his seat, and won the plate,----On Thurs-'

On Tuesday evening an unfortuote accident
happened while the Norwich Rifle Corps were fir-
ing at the target in the Horse-Barrack-Yard :—Mr.
Hardingham, Jun. had loaded his piece, and left it
incautiously on the cock ; without recolleding the
danger, he was leaning on the firelock, looking
at those who were firing, with his face over the
muzzle of the piece when by some means it dis-
charged itself, and ;he contents went through the
upper part of his facerind head, and killed him on
the spot. Fie was buried with military honours on

-The present very tmexpeeted demand for Barley
is accounted for, by the Scotch Distillers being al.
lowed this year to commence their operations, for
their home trade, on the Ist of Oetober, in place of
the 16th of November. Upwards of one hundred
thousand quarters will be necessary for their use
before the new Crop comes to Market.

COURT OF KlNG's BENCH, rt;t.v

CR.,L.FE .I;CD OTHERS, tXECUTORS or W. rAnsoNs,

V. MARY I'AUSONS.

Mr. GAR ROW, for the Plaintiff, said, that this ac-
tion was brought against the re endant, who had
received 17(.1 3s. 3d. iron the Board of Ordnance,
to which the Phintitis were entitled. The Defend-
ant was the widow of Allen Parsons, who had a con-
tra& to supply the Board With candles, On the death
of her husband the contra& was continued to her
nominally, but was supplied by Wm. Parsons, whom
the Plaintiffs reptle.,,ented..The money which was to
constitute the payment for their candles was receiv-
ed by her, and, contrary to all justice, withheld, and
applied to her own use. If it were asked why Wm,
Parsons, or his Executors, did not receive the money
from the Board in propria persona, the answer was
obvious—the Board, in the technical phrase, know
only the Contractor., and, -by whomsoever the com-
modity may be supplied, they will pay it alone to the
nominal contra&or. After the witnesses were called,
Mr. ERSKINE said, that the contra& was trans-
ferred by the Defendant to W. Parsons, on the con-
dition that Mary Parsons should be allowed 20 per
cent. on the amount of the orders. The sum of
3s. 3d. which was now- claimed, was much
less than 20 per cent. on the orders executed under
this contra&

tord_ELLENnottouon.--" This mode of under
contrails must occasion an exorbitant waste of pub-
ii I do not say, that in honour and con-
scier,ce some allowance should- not be made to the
widow, but no specific agreement has been proved,
and nothing therefore can be legally claimed.—Plw,
