NATION AL. GALLERY.

It must be allowed that there is much tameness and
in many of the pictures which wo have been taught to' admire as
the works of the (lode, and it is very rarely indeed that,
we see three pictures of hie to ether so entirely free from any
such imputation, as those which form part of the splendid roller-
tion just presented by Sir George Beaumont to the nation. ',Ve
think the ,banging these beautiful. landscapes together a judicious
arrangement, es, by. the pilfect harmony of style that' prevails in

with a combined and very powerful effect.

These.pictures have:not. only the gloWing effect of real light
and sunshine, for which- Claude is *Oust)), admired ; but also
the more intereging politica of deep shadow and rich tone, at the
same time that they exhibit to perfection the matchless 'power of
touch in all the leafy luxuriance of Italian landvorpe. Ilia tone,
in the errengewea of the fortUS.and foliage of his trees, was never
more conspicuous than in these pictures; and it will give us the
greatest pleasure, as sincere lovers of our own school, to WI our
landscape painters deign to look into those pecnlier beauties of
this true painter of nature. We have one of these in me mind's

genuine works Eine 4rt, and wheat pictures mould,

which he justly aspirci.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jut:z 11,
mLion P. WELLisLET.

Mr. jergeant SPA XKIt lad obtained a rule an a previous day,
calling on the plaintiff to show cause why this trial should not. be
postponed till the sittings after next 'Alichaelipas Tenn, On account
of the absence of- some material witnesics in' Italy.
Mr. Sergeant VAUWIAN now showed 'cause: against the rule;
on affidavit. This was a case of great importance to the plaintiff,
as regarded his character, his peace of mind, and all that" was dear
to hint. The cause was to have been tried at the Sittings after
last Easter Term, when. it wag postponed by eppliegunt on the
affidavit of the defendant, which set out that it was necessary he
should he ebbe to produce certain papers, in the possession of
a notary at Naples. The nature of these paper* however, was not
explained ; it was not shown that they would hear it all Do
thus ease ; hut if they did,. the defendant htul plenty of time
since he had retired notice of trial to obtain them. The same
observation would apply to the witnesses, who, it wee said,
could not be got to this country. The statement in the affi-
davits, regarding the witnesses, was curious enough. The.de
fondant said that they, beim!, gentlemen, some of them of distinc-
lion, could not he expected to rim the risk of passing the Pontine
marshes, and the Campagna di Rome, at a season when the
disease peculiar to these places was most prevalent. Surely
the defendant could have obtained his document, at least. Cou-
riers were in the habit of passing these towns, and the papers
surely would not have been infected. On the part of the plaintiff
there was an affidavit in answer to this, stating that there was an
eastern or upper road, which the witnesses might take. One of
the witnesses was wanted to contradict some 'auppoled libellous
rumours, which bad appeared in the public papers, and which
the defendant feared might hate excited a. prejudice against hint;
hut this was evidence which could not be received. nhetever
these rumours were, they had their origin from uffidevita made in
the Court of Chancery ; the plaintiff lied not in any way caused
their circulation. Then, it was said, that there had beep sons
official cominunication with Sir Charles Stewart, who had oppor-
tunities of making certain observations at the Valais Royal; but
this was idle and abt•ard.. The affidavit, on the part of the de-
fendant, said, there wee no foundation for the asserted ill health
of the plaintiff; kit there was another affidavit on the pat of
the plaintiff, which distinctly stated that .the plaintiff was in a
very precarious state ; his lunge were affected, and in fact he was
certainly afflicted with a pulmonary consumption. tinder the.ie
eircumstancea, Mr. Sergeant Vaughan hoped the Court would dis-
charge the rule. ,

fiergeent StANICIA argued in +support of the rule. The
defendant did not suppose that the plaintiff had in any way lent
himself to the circulation of the reports referred to ; but they
were nererthelese injurious. The defendant lied not an opportu-
nity of compelling the appearance of these gentlemen by snbpmna,
they being on the Continent. It was said that there bad been outfi-
tient time to obtaitilliem ; but the eflidevit set forth that it was
only just discovered that the evidence of three of the ivitnessei
was material.

The Coosa said this was the 'lest time they Would postpone a

PREROGATIVE COURT, Jui.r J.
HATLDON AND It/M.OON.
This was a question as to the admission of en allegation which
went to remedy an omission in the will of the late Mr. Baron Wood,
dated in November, Mill, who died possessed of property to the
amount of 110,000/, In the draught of the instrument, which
woo in the Learned Judge's httuthwriting, appeared the words aud
figures fblloWing:—" 5,000/. ;1 per teat, Consuls to my nephew,
Riebard Bayklen ;" but they were omittell in the will itself,
although the name of Richard Payldon
,was inserted in a list of
those persons who would have a leery-duty to pay, awl which
was also in the hand-writing of the deceased,

I'itimamoxx, on behalf of tilt executor, objected in liming
that this case was diatiluished from all °there of a similar nature,
since there was no ambiguity on the face of the instrument; and
wherever a will was regularly exeeuted by a competent person,
these Court never opened' the door to evidence which altered its
diSpollitiOrte.
Sir Joss Nicuot,t, war of Opinion that there existed no doubt
AI to the intention of the-testator in this case, and es little donbt
that the Court could by law remedy the mistake he had matte, by
the admission of extrinsic evidente. It was elem.' that it had been
thr intention of Mr. Baron Wood to leave 15,900 t. Consols to his
Richard Bayldon, and that the. bequest bad been omitted
hy accident; for the instrument stated', " I give and bequeath the
soul or, 60,001, J per Cedt. Consols, in manner following.'
Titer) various let/mite were-expretted, which made only the sum of
Titer, was farther evidence ; for the deceased disposed
of the residue of hia property, as if it hod been 4,0001., whereas
it was 0,000/. The draught of the will had hero recognieed
after, the execution of the instrument itself, and had been witnessed
by Mr. Justine Bayley and other persons, as expressing the tee-
tater.* real intentions. There was no doubt, therefore, as to
what those intentions were in respect to Me. Billiard Bayltion, of
whom the Learned Judge continued to think well up to the time
of his death; and there was nothint in point of law to forbid the
admission of evidence in support oft e
Dr. rant:llolW intimated that after this ',Pinion from the
Court, he should offer no lusher opposition to the bequest, on
beholf of the executor.
