ART-UNION OF LONDON.

In the year 1842, the Committee of this Society, being
desirous of calling the attention of artists to those high
abstract qualities of art, which exist separate from all
effect of light and shade, offered a premium, by public
advertisement, for a consecutive series of ten designs in
outline, illustrating some part of British history, or the
work of some English author. In reply to this announce-
ment thirty sets of designs were received, many of which
displayed great talent, and were highly creditable to
their authors. Mr. Selons, the successful competitor,
happily selected for his subject the immortal " Pilgrim's
Progress ;" and produced therefrom a series of graceful
and animated pictures, which (increased by the libera-
lity of the artist to the number of twenty-two) were
faithfully etched for the Society by Mr. Henry Mores ;
these, however, formed only part of the subjects which
the skill and feelings of the artist haddelineated; he was,
therefore, induced by the commendation bestowed upon
his first series, and inspired, apparently, by the subject,
to complete the whole of his original sketches, making
upwards of twenty additional subjects, besides a number
of beautiful, vignettes and tail-pieces, which have been
engraved on wood, and are now published by Mr. Hol-
loway, of Bedford-street, Covent-garden, in the form of
a very handsome oblong folio volume, the page being
large enough to admit of the designs being engraved on
a scale sufficient for their full effect. The new plates have
been entrusted to the well-known talent of Mr. Charles
Rolls, and the wood engravings are admirably executed
by r. John Bastin. To the volume is prefixed a brief,
but well-written memoir of John Bunyan, by Mr.
Godwin, and a bibliographical notice, composed with
much diligence and care by Mr. Pocock, which contains
some curious information respecting the original publi-
cation of the " Pilgrim's Progress," and some clever fic-
similes of the grotesque illustrations of the old editions,
forming a remarkable contrast to the polished and clas-
sical productions of Mr. Selons. We may add, that the
new designs are of the same character as those issued by
the Art-Union of London, and are especially adapted to
be bound up with their engravings, thus presenting to-
gether, an uniform series of forty-three plates, illus-
trating, independently of the wood-cuts, nearly every
page of Bunyan's celebrated dream.

ART-UNION OF LONDON.
In the year 1842, the Cominittee of this Society, b eing-
desirous of calling the attention of artists to those high,
abstract qualities of art, which exist separate from all.
effect. of :light and shade, offered a premium, by public
advertisement, for a consecutive series t.or ten; designs iii
outline, illustrating some part of British history, or thi:
work of some English author. In reply to this announce-
ment thirty sets of designs were received, many of which-
displayed great talent, and• were highly creditable to
their authors. Mr. Selons, the successful competitor,
happily selected for his subject the immortal " Pilgrim's
Progress ;" and produced.therefrom a series uf graceful
and animated pictures, which {increased by the libe.ra-
lily of the artist to the number of twenty-two) were
faithfully etched for the Society by Mr. Henry Mores
these, however, formed only. part of the subjects which
the skill and feelings of the artist haddelineated; he was.
therefore, induced.by the commendation bestowed upott
his first series, and-inspired, apparently, by 'the subject,
to complete the whole of his original sketches, making
upwards:of twenty additional subjects, besides a number
of beautiful vignettes and tail-pieces, which have been
engraved on wood, and are now published by Mr. Hal-.
loway, of Bedford-street, Covent-garden, in the form of
a very handsothe oblong folio volume,- the page being
large enough to admit of the designs -being engraved on
a scale sufficient for their full effect. The new plates have
been entrusted to the well-known talent of Mr. Charles
Rolls, and the wood engravings are admirably executed
by Mr. John. Bastin. To the volume is prefixed a brief,
but: well-written memoir of John Bunyan, by Mr.
Godwin, and a bibliographical notice, composed with
much diligence and care by Mr. Pocock, which contains
some curious information respecting the original publi-
cation of the " Pilgrim's Progress," and some clever fac-
similes of the
,grotesque illustrations of the old editions,
forming a remarkable contrast to the polished and clas-
sical productions of Mr. Scions. We may add, that the
new designs are of the samecharacter as those issued by
the Art-Union of London, and are especially adapted to
be bound up with their engravings, thus presenting to-
gether, an uniform series of forty-three plates, illus-
trating, independently of the wood-cuts, nearly every
page. of Bunyan's celebrated dream.

Fletcher. The elderly woman and Griffin came
together to swear the affidavit. I do not remember
that Barber came upon the occasion of the swearing the
affidavit. The administration was sent to Mr. Barber.
Cross-examined by Mr. GREAVES—Fletcher accom-
panied the old lady the first time she came to the office.
I have been speaking rather from what is my ordinary
practice in cases of administration than from any recol-
lection of what passed. The affidavit was read over to
Griffin. He appeared to understand it. He asked no
questions. There were many persons present when the
affidavit was sworn. The clerk of the seal is the attesting
witness.
Cross-examined by Mr. WILKINS—I did not see any
thing of Barber until after the second affidavit was re -
quired. I should not have supplied Fletcher with a
security if I had not believed him to be a respectable
man. The transaction appeared to be conducted in a
proper manner. I did not go to Mr. Barber's office at all.
Cross-examined by Mr. JAMES—Giving a bond is a
mere matter of form.
At the conclusion of this witness's examination, the
Court was adjourned till this morning.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
WORSHIP-STREET. .

Charles Clare, alias Swinburne, the young man
who was committed for trial on the 16th ult., upon a
charge of felony preferred against him by an unfor-
tunate girl, named Keeley, whom he had seduced,
and afterwards abandoned, was brought before Mr.
Bingham, by Sergeant Allen, of the 12th Lancers,
who charged him with being a deserter from that
regiment.
The sergeant stated that he attended on the pre-
vious day at the Central Criminal Court, when the
prisoner was tried and acquitted on the above charge,
and, pursuant to the instructions he had received
from his superiors, he arrested him as a deserter.
The prisoner absconded from the regiment, which
was then stationed at Dublin, in the month of March,

1843, but he had deserted on three former occasions,
and as a confirmatory proof of his identity, the letter
" D" would be found branded under each of his arm-
pits. In addition to the offence of desertion, the pri-
soner had committed several petty acts of theft in the
regiment, which would, in the first instance, form the
subject of investigation before a military tribunal.
The prisoner, who admitted all the facts alleged
against him, was committed to the House of Correc-
tion, preparatory to his removal to the head-quarters
of his regiment.
