Wrestling Society met as usual on Friday, at the Highbury
Barn Tavern, to contest for various money" prizes. The as-
semblage at the commencement of the day's sport was less
than that of former years ; but during the afternoon there
was a gi eat admission of respectably- dressed company, and
towards the close of the day's play more than we ever re-
member to have seen congregated together: The wrestling
took place in an immense room at the rear of the premises,
competent to hold two or three thousand persons, and the
preliminaries having been adjusted by the steward, who
walked round a spacious ring roped in, the sport commenced
with the men of eleven stone and under. The prizes were,
81. to the first man, 41. to the second, 21. -to the third, and U. to
the fourth. After a succession of cants, in which great science
in the art of wrestling was displayed, William Morton won the
first prize, John Sinuninds the second, John Lill the third, and
James Irving the fourth. The men exceeding eleveti stone
then contended for prizes' of the same -value, and there were
several powerful Life Guardsmen entered the lists. The play
lasted until half-past seven in the evening, when T. Miller, a
Guardsman, won the first prize, A. Nelson the second, H.
Ihrzetoon the third, and James Uwe the fourth.

MEETING OF THE INSTITUTE
OF FINE ARTS. •
The annual meeting of this Association was held
on Saturday evening, in the Council-room of the
Society of Arts, John-street, Adelphi. Emerson
Tennant, Esq., M.P., was called to the chair, and the
business of the evening commenced. A letter icso
read from Sir M. A. Shee, the President of the Royal
Academy, stating that in consequence of his advall•
cing age, and the attention which his duties as. Presi-
dent of the Royal Academy required; he was pre'.
vented from accepting the office of Vice-President-9f
the Institute of Fine Arts which he had been invited
to accept. The Secretary then read the annual
report of the Council, which stated that.
after a lapse of a year, the Council had
reason to hope the most cheering results to art form
the influence of the institution. Eligible premises had
been taken for the institute in Newman-street, with *
reading-room for the members, and a library was also
in progress of formation. A petition to Parliamiat
for increased means of acquiring knowledge in al
was stated to be on the eve of presentation, PI
through it a lasting benefit is expected to be conferred
on the arts of this country. Artistic information, con',
sidered to be important, has been communicated to the.
Commissioners of Fine Arts, and an extensive- corre"
spondence had been established with eminent foreign
professors of art. The announcement that the nage
ber of members had increased last year from 110 to
300 was received with loud cheers.
The CHAIRMAN then ardressed the meeting, and la
a very appropriate speech, remarked upon the lel'
portance of cultivating a taste for the fine arts in.
Et4gland. He alluded to the aid which decorative
art gives to the manufactures of this country, and
the diffusion of pure taste amongst the people Pi
sculptors, painters and engravers, V-rough the medial.
of manufacturers, and he said he felt confident that
manufacturers must be improved, and consequeatlY
prosper, through the influence and assistance' of
society like that.
Mr. PARK. the sculptor, then read a paper entitled'
Triumph of the Anglo-Normanspropesr:
series of sculptures to occupy the whole range of Ow
wall of the projected court inclosing the New Palace'r
yard, with groups and single statues in advance, mark"
Mg different ages, discoveries, and characteristics; to
he executed in Ravacciene marble, the use of bron zebeieg
opposed to the perpetuity of art from the temptLation to
destroy offered in the value of the material. Mr. Pard.
proposed that a continued line should be formed rotw
the court, not higher than 10 feet, within which far
tures in bas-relief should be received, and that on pr.
destals should be placed statues and groups, so aiSi
posed as to he seen all round. The bas reliefs ell.
statues would combine to illustrate the.manners an
costumes, and the historical and poetical characteristic'.
of the people, from the earliest ages of antiquity doisl‘
to the present time.
Mr. TEMPLETON next read a paper " On ;the
mission of Works of Art in Churches." After villict
Mr. Finden was called to the chair, and the thanks
°
the meeting being voted to Mr. Tennent, the assel'ie
bly separated. .
THE PIRATE OF THE MEDITO'

RANEAN.
ea
There has, on tyeral occasions, lately appeor„
some brief particu s respecting the daring depreusi
tions of a Greek piratical vessel up the Mediterry
rean. Already have several foreign vessels been re;
,sacked, and an English barque sunk by her, and tua
within the space of a very short time. From thel:
scriptions given of this vessel by commanders of vie
sell who have either been plundered or chased by Wit,'
is rather singular that none of her Majesty's We
of-war have yet come athwart her. But her el
hitherto, shows the ingenuity and deep deceptioillp,
must be compelled to resort to to elude the 'nen' oot
war ; still, it is somewhat surprising, that she has gir,
been taken. By a letter received at Lloyd's . Pit
turday, from Malta, dated the 28th of March last,
appears that the Clipper, Captain Hanitnct°
arrived there from Liverpool, had been chaseSl4,
a suspicious looking barque on the 2d of that rnen7
off Cape Passare, and from certain circumstances 548
tending the chase, the one in question, there is 'lto' ,
doubt, is that seen in this instance. Captain. 'ita
mond states that when first seen she had her' CO'tup
clewed up Nsith her topsails on the cap, hut upo2 Doi
hauling to the wind, she immediately
courses, hoisted her topsail and set top-gallitnt Prei;
and gave chase after him. He was compelled to taeli
,three times, and only escaped upon several,velf
heaving in sight. When first seen she was about
¢,
mile distant, by which Captain Hammond WO She
bled to note her appearance more particularly. ;e1
had a small heart painted white on her stern,•sh"th
no boats, and, from.the rapidity of her inovelo,se,
must have been well-manned. The chief of ?et- It
predations have been between Cadiz and Qiigiitgol
is satisfactory to knOw VT her Maje=ty's GO'
meet are acquainted iwitif, er depredations.
RAILWAY TO c.,4-vrLaND.--The' whole o. to
capital of the Caledonian Railway, from Carlisle ./4
Glasgow and Edinburgh. has been subscribed for,

the shares are now at a premium in the stock-twirl 0
This is an instance of public confidence and approo)o6
which we scarcely know a parallel. In the mearilive
the bromnters of the Glasgow, Ayr, and Dumfries - to
to Carlisle, are us;ng the most strenuous exertiohloof
