BOROUGH OF MARYLEBONE.

THURSDAY, MARCH 14.--Lest Light a general meeting
of the District Committee, in favour of S:r Samuel What-
ley, took place in the Committee Room at Mr. Ritchie's,
the Marquis of Wellesley, Cromer-street, Gray's Inn-road,
for the better insuring the return of Sir Samuel. The
meeting was intended to have been private, but it haring
got rumoured that Sir Samuel would be present, the rooms
were crowded to excess by the friends of Mr. Murphy,
who came, as they stated, for the purpose of irking Sir
Samuel, some questions. Upon the arrivil of Sir Samuel

,nspection of the books of that august body. To this he
answered, without hesitation, in the negative ; likewise to
stler questions nut to him (which, through the noise, we
were unable to hear), and, as soon as he could obtain
quietness, he not only entered into en explination of his
past, but his intended future conduct, which completely
di.comfited the leaders of this party, and they retired. But
not so the others who had attended for a different purpose,
for immediately the leaders were gone they hogan to hoot,
stamp on the floor, and halloo out «Murphy for ever," to
the great annoyance and hindrance of the business the
meeting was called for ; and it was not until the landlord
advised the members of the Committees to prepare, as if
for departure, and through this device, as if they werd
going, they got these gentlemen to leave the room. Ttte
Committees then gave in their accounts, which were
highly flattering ; and as it is expected the principal tug
will be between Sir Samuel and Mr. Hope, it will be gra-
tifying to know that under the system and organiz ition of
Sir Samuel's Committee, there will be no doubt of his
return.

PANORAMA of the SIEGE of ANTWERP.

We were this morning admitted to a private view of Mr.
Burford's new Panorama of the Siege of Antwerp,which is,
with the exception, perhaps, of a little too much sober uni.
formity in the way of colouring, incomparably the best, or at
any rate the most interesting, of any that he has yet pro,
dined. The subject is one full of difficulties, yet Mr. Mit'
ford has grappled with and overcome them. He was himself
an eye-witness of thelatter operations of the besiegers; more-
over, he had the valuable aid of practical men, who willingly
explained to him all that was obscure and difficult in his task,
so that he can rely with perfect justice on the accuracy of his
panoramic sketch. The finest, that is' to say, the most ani.
mated and expressive portion of his painting, is the bit compri-
sing the Pont de Succours, the Fosse—the dull, lazy water of
which is portrayed with singular truth and force of colouring
—the Bastion de Toledo, the Breach, the Store-houses, and the
Breaching Battery. It is on this part of the picture that the eye
of the spectator will linger longest and with the greatest plea.
sure. Next in interest is the groupe surrounding Marshal
Gerard, which consists of his Aide-dc-camps, the Dukes of
Orleans and Nemours, and the English Colonel, Caradoc. The
young Duke, de Nemours, is busy in conversation with Colonel
Caradoc—the bustle of military operations having, apparently,
for the moment ceased—and Marshal Gerard is handing a des.
patch to one of his Aide-de-camps. There is considerable
spirit in the portraiture of this groupe. The view of the
city of Antwerp, above which towers the spire of its cell brated
cathedral forms a graceful addition to the Panorama. We are
sadly cramped for room, or we could enlarge further on this
subject, but for the present we must conclude.
