WINCHESTER, Wetinesday, Four o'Clock.—Last
nidit the Concert at St. John's House was
attend, d by newly five hundred persons of the
first respectability. We never saw so large, an
assembhge of elegant and well-dressed females.
The first Act consisted of ..dcie and Galatia, which
Wa3 most exquisitely performed ; the second Act
consisted of Selections from the most favoured
Masters.

BARTLEMAN delighted: every one with CAL-
COTT'S new long, from Dr. Youxo's,Revenge, of
Sister, of Acheron ;7—Mr. and Mrs.VAtionAN's
Duet of " Born in you blaze of orient Sky," was
universally applauded ; and Mtss STEPHENS'S
g` Sweet Bird," accompanied by Mr. CRAMER,
was the theme of general praise thronghimt the
eveoing. BELLA‘mY was eminently .successful in
nn Ait of MOZART ; and Mr% W. KNYVETT'S' new
Glee of Theßose of the Valley" was most
tneritedly encored. GRIESEACIrS Concerto on
the Oboe, and Master LINDLEY'S Solo, were both
very mud; applauded, and the whole performance
closed with great spirit and effect;
'The fineness of the
.weather, has evidently in-
duced many families to visit Winchester at this
interesting period. tarly this morning numerous
.carriages were seen contisig in at the several en,

performance of oiis pi vine Oratorio of this great
Master, "as was genetallyexpresser) at that. of 111i3

The Concert of this evening will be more nu-

STATUARY —The Duke of Devossnine, prior
to leaving England, ordered several Vases, of
classic form, to he executed in the finest Ame-
thystine Flour of Derbyshire, with a view of as-
sisting the manufacture, then declining, from the
influx of Italian alabaster. These beautiful vases
have so pleased the highest circles of St. Peters-

received front this his Grace's introduction. -
His Grace the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND has,
with a liberality becoming. his rank and fortune,

ever -extent) edittiot be unattended, with moril
tises.. Veettpations i f such a nature ;1 also
among the best.sateguarils of the mind against the
access of evil and tnaltgrOnt pas:ions.'

But looking at the moral influence of the Arts
specially, the instances in which they can be in-
eontestbly sheyvn, to possess such a power are
'necessarily few, becanse they are liinited to works
of the highest, order, , by, which the mind may be
powerfully seized, and directed to,the side of vir-
tue and religion.
I propose, however, -at preknt to point out tt
moralnse of
_the Arts of a different description
from those just mentioned., one to which, in their
present state'of Cultivation, we are rightfnlly en,
titled to pretend ; and to call your attention.(and
may you he induced to nse whatever nreao you
poSsess to call the attention also of the persons
most concerned) to a pc:Collar circumstance 'rela-
tive to our Coinage:
It has been announced to the, piNic,- that at po
great distance of time,
,the Bank-Tokens of three
shillings and one shilling and sixpence are to be
withdrawn from circulation. You, Sir, who'pro.
fess to open your Paper to every candid observa-
tion on the works of the Fine Atts, need not, I
imagine,. be informed, that the (lies of those Coins
werebthe.work of the late NATHANIEL MARCHANT,
one of the most excellent. Gem Sculptors of mo-
dern times, and far the most eminent that our
country has -produced at any time.
The-remarks which I have to submit to you on
this occasion are as folloWs

Ist. There can be no doubt, that ihe,more ex-
quisitely any work of Art is wrought, the'more dif-
ficult any imitation 'of it becomes, and the more
easily every attempt to counterfeit it is liable to be
.detected.

It is easy to illustrate this pbsition -by apposite
examples of the most familiar kind. Every one
of your readers knows ho:tv extremely difficult it
is to imitate exactly, or counterfeit the:almost
perfect hand-writing of eminent masters in that
art, and, on the contrary, how very easy it is for
every smatterer in copying to imitate a deformed
or imperfect scrawl.
In the same Tanner, the air or gait of a man
or woman regularly formed by nature, and trained
to elegance by art, is within' the reach of very
few to imitate, and.of none to equal, unlessendow-
ed with. similar advantages ; whereas a limp, a
stoop, a twist, a shuffle, or an awkward stride are
easily turned into ridicule by every ordinary

The case is exactly the same in the Fine Arts.
‘Vhen Apelles called at the house of a contempo-
rary painter at Rhodes; not finding him at home,
he left an outline so regularly and exquisitely
drawn, that the Rhodian, on his return, enter-
tained no doubt of the quality of his visitor, and
immediately drew, within, a second smaller line
of equal beauty, to denote his own rank also in
his Art. Probably no other person then living
coal have been fOund to draw a• third. Had a
_bungler, or a common workman ventured to try
'his hand, he would have been speedily-disgraced
by the vain. attempt.
These premises once established, lead to the
following conclusion : that; if a.Coin could be
put in circulation of as exquisite workmanship its
the lines of the great Masters above•men!ioned',
that Coin would be beyond the teach of imitation
by all inferiOr workmen, that is, by workmen in
general ; and that any cOnnterfeit.of such a Coin
would easily be detected, It -would require no
extraordinary power of judgnnlnt to detect it-7
How few persons would be imposed on by'the
-attempt of a common writer. to counterfeit. the
masterly pentna. uship of Champion or' Toinkins
How few would hesitate to distinguish betweLit
the gestures of a eotumon ininiic; and the refined
movements of Vestris and' Pafisot, and the'ele-
vated action of GArrick, Siddons, Kemble

2dly,, ft is unnecessary to insist how important
and how highly desirable it would be, that a Coin of
such inimitable beauty should be. the medium of our
ordinary circulation, when we reflect -that. the penalty
pf countoleiting that medians (whatever• be the faci-
lity or d ffficulty of the attempt,' is DEATh.
\% lictiever, therefore, the ex,:ellettee of Art in
this point can prevail., sti far.as: to-dely, and deter
imitation, the Art itself may justly boast its moral
importance. It then exists in the highest degree.
And. that conscience must he seated, whiclilloes
not feel the high and awful responsibility 10 those
persons who at once promulgate the penal lasy.
and determine its object. What is their neglect—
how heart-appalling---if they tail to employ their
utmost means to establish a seture'guard, that
the work which it is death to connterfeit,.shonld
be (as far as can be attained under existing circum-
stance;) beyond the reach of countertenors !
Without the strictest - watch over tltis point, the
expiring pang of every %,ictim to a fraudulent at-.
tempt in coinage,' is a hitter arrow pointed at the
bosom of the Legi4ator—is fatal record, of
filch he must one day give account to his:eternal
Judge.
Now let us' revert to the wot k in question, of
NATHANIEL MARCHANT. It is said, that dpriog'
the whole period of the circulation of the Silver
Bank Tokens, fewer countertrits have heseo found,
either of the larger or smaller Token, than of any
other COin of the realm ; and that attempt, to
pass such counterfeits have its general' failed, Iron'
their glaring and obvious inferiority to the prtgi
nal: If this assertion, is ill founded, some of your
Readers will probabily be able to furnish you wit'.
facts to contradict it. The comparative circular:
lion (between these and other coins, and their
counterfeits) must be within the knowledge of

BRIGHTON, Tu.F!spAy.,—we stated, in Mon-
day's paper, that Walker and Donalchop, the two
litre try.-keepers at Brighton,
.were bound overnot
to allow any more 'top in their shops. Friedeburg,
the keeper of the Bazaar, entered into similar re-
cognizances ; but being alarmed at a measure
which he conceived would ruin his establishment,.
he ou Monday entreated the advice of the Learnej,
-Serjeant how he was .to act, having, as he said,
.expended an immense sum in the establishment of.
which he was proprietor.

ing the law. ,You met me, I think, in the street
about three weeks since, and you then inumiirtd
whether you could not'have a yzasquerir de ? My
answer was, you may if you like ; 'but I also
joined, would you like to go to time House of Cor-
rection ? The motives of the iFsgistrates, 1 know,
have been ,suspected ; and it is disgraceful to add,
we' have also been grossly inisrcpresented in the
course of our late proceedings in certain papers.;
It is our object, however, to be guided by the law
alone, without. turning to the right hand yr to

whatever.

of payments fora musical entertaZninelit, open his

proved to belting to the man who had re-
