UNDER THE SUPERINTENDENCE OF THE SOCIETY
FOR THE DIFFUSION OF USEFUL KNOWLEDGE.
On the first of June will be published, to be continued
monthly,
GALLERY OF PORTRAITS.
No. I.
Perhaps no species of knowledge has a more direct ten-
dency towards true refinement than an acquaintance With
the Fine Arts. The, Committee of the Society for the
Diffus►on of Useful Knowledge, therefore, consider them-
selves as acting strictly within the scope of tltuir powers,
in Publishing a GALLERY of PORTRAITS. They
begin with Portraits, because the Authentic Likenesses of
Great Men are equally interesting to the Lover of Art, the
general Reader, and even to those who have but a limited
acquaintance with past Events or Personages, but who
may probably be stimulated to read by the sight of the
Print. For such, and to refresh the memory of others, a
short Memoir will he given with each Portrait.
The " Gallery of Portraits" to be published by the So-
ciety, although similar in form, and not inferior in execu-
tion, to one or two series of Portraits new publishing, will
be in a great degree different from any other, in the selec-
tion of those Illustrious Persons whose Likenesses it is
thought desirable to make familiar to all.
The Committee have to acknowledge the ready assist-
ance of many distinguished Personages and Public Bodies,
in furthering their Plan, by permitting Copies to be made,
for Engraving, front original Pictures in their Possession.
Artists of Ability have already finished many copies front
the Collections of his Majesty, of the King of the French,
of the Royal Society, of the French Institute, of the Duke
of Devonshire, the Duke of Marlborough, Lord Egre-
mont, Lord Holland, and Lord Dover. The Execution
of the Engravings front many of these Pictures has been
confided to some of the most eminent Engravers of the day.
Each Number will consist of Three Portraits, with
accompanying Biographical Memoirs, occupying upon an
average Twenty-four Pages of Letter-press. The size of
the Work will be Super-royal Octavo, corresponding with
the small-paper Copies of Lodge's Portrait,. The Price
of each Number will be Half-a-Crown. No large-paper
Copies will be printed.

MIDDLESEX COUNTY COURT, MAY 24.

After some preliminary business of no public interest, a
discussion, which lasted nearly two hours, and which gave
rise to many legal arguments, and much contrariety of
opinion, amongst the Learned 31 igistrates, took place
respecting the appointment of a second Chaplain to the
House of Correction, on the ground of increase of prisoners,
and separate service being required for the male and female
prisoners. I❑ the end, the matter was referred back to
the Committee.

THE NEW STREET FROM FARRINGDON TO CLERKENWELL

AND THE NORTH ROAD.
Mr. ALLEN, the Clerk of the Peace, then read a letter
from Mr. Woodthorpe, the Town Clerk of London, on the
subject of opening a street at Holborn-bridge. This letter
requested that a conference might take place on the sub-
ject between the M.lgistratts of 'Middlesex and the Corpo-
ration of London.

The CHAIRMAN observed, that it was highly desirable
the conference should be held, and suggested that a Com-
mittee should be appointed for the purpose.
Mr. HALL remarked upon the importance of the subject
then before the Court, and said he was prepared to move
the names of several Magistrates to form a Committee of
Conference to meet the Corporation of London. The
proposed new street would be the greatest improvement
yet effected in the metropolis, and would remove the hot-
oeds of vice and sinks of infamy between Holborn and
Clerke'nwell-green. The county of Middlova would not
ire at all committed by the measure. The Worthy Ma-
gistrate then proposed nine gentlemen to form the Com-
mittee, including the Chair man and Mr. Byng,
Mr. Hall's motion was then agreed to. A
discussion arose as to the removal of trials in 'Middle-
sex cases of larceny from the Old Bailey to the Middlesex
Sessions, and it appeared that the Recorder was not fa-
vourable to the plan.
A Committee is formed in Lotion and Middlesex, to
report upon the proposed alteration.
After some warm observations between Mr. Botch and
Sir Peter Laurie (the latter being on both Committees,)
Mr. ROTCH said, the Middlesex Committee Were not
then prepared to make any repo' t.
Some routine business being diyoed of, the Court
broke up at live o'clock.
