ethers from corresponding incurable maladies, which having
resisted the skill of our first 5111,e01151 of the present day,
have, as a dernier resource, been subjected to extirpa-

irremedial.

tlemen professing the. Veterinary Art, and all others inte-
rested in the anatomy of the horse, and its congenus, such

16th, will be appropriated to the Professors of Surgery,

one of the first Chemists, with a dettil of their component

NATIONAL REPOSITORY OF ARTS AND

SCIENCES, KING'S MEWS.

The following is a more enlarged report of this
admirable Institution than we were able to give on
Monday, from the lateness of the hour. This exhi-
bition is devoted to the productions of native genius
in Arts, Sciences, and Manufactures :
It is not yet so comprehensive as is intended, but it al-
ready possesses a variety of specimens', the view and exa-
mination of which must prove in the highest degree grati-
fying to all who take an interest in the progress of native
talent. Indeed we are not without hopes that the opening
of this establishment will operate beneficially ns regards
our arizans and manufacturers who desire only to occupy
that place in public favour to which their merits fairly en-
title them; it cannot be denied that foolish prejudice, and
unworthy predilections for foreign produce, have hitherto
' pressed heavily upon our deserving countrylneo, and
(Tamped their industrious efforts; bet now that an oppor-
tunity is afforded, the British public are as it were called
upon to visit this National Repository, to cxansine, to judge
dispassionately, and thus arrive at a just decision. We have
no hesitation in adding that we have been led into these re-
marks from having looked through the present exhibition,
scanty as it is ; every article is worthy of attentive exa-
mination, and there is no department which dots not
exhibit striking proofs of ingenuity and genius; the models
of steam engines are indeed models of neatness, and are ex-
ceedingly well designed ; the carvings in ivory and wood ate
admirable; among the architectural models, that of Moor-
fields Chapel surpasses any thing of the kind we have ever
witnessed; through a glassroof the pews, pulpit, altar, gallery,
&c. are seen executed with the utmost precision and beauty.
At the top of the room there is a drawing of the projected
pyramid, or metropolitan cemetery, which has been much
spoken of lately; the details are very explicit ; the intended
number of cells are nearly 800,000, and the estimated ex-
pense between seven and eight millions sterling ; the base
of the pyramid would occupy an area equal to that of
Russell-square, and its height would be four times that of
St. Paul's. The plan for the National Waterloo Monu-
ment also we should be pleased to see carried into effect.
The specimens of silk and lace manufacture seem really to
court examination ; and perhaps the most attractive part
of the room is that where the weavers are actually working
at the looms—the action of the complicated machinery,
together with the industry and dexterity of tie weaver,
form an interesting and instructive scene. The artificial
eye, and other optical illustrations, also the keyless watch,
and various other articles, display much ingenuity. We
have mentioned but a few of the varieties of the National
Repository, leaving our readers to satisfy themselves by a
visit. We should add that, for the satisfaction of the
public, the inventors or other persons are ready to give any
explanations required. The arrangements are somewhat
on the plan of the Conservatoire des Arts et des 3.fetiers,
at Paris.

LANDED PROPERTY.--The beneficial in-
fluenee of the Coin Bill seems to haye inspired the farmers
with a spirit of extraordinary activity, owing to which a
greater quantity of land has been introduced into the mar-
ket than usual : for instance, Branches Park, near New-
market, containing nearly 3,000 acres—Lord ONsLow's
estate, between Guildford and Farnham, of 1,800 acres—
a fine property
near Melton Mowbray, of about 1,360
acres (upon which the Stilton Cheese is made)---and a
freehold investment of 2,000 acres near Cheltenham, and
700 near Gloucester, are all announced for sale by that
übiquitous auctioneer,' GEonov. Rontys. Rents are alas
improving throughout the country, and :are more punc-
tually paid than they have been since the peace. It is said
that estates exceeding- in value 500,0001. are ulaced under
this gentleman's controut for alesolute sale at this moment.
