vourite air of the calumniated (lance has been set to the ca-
rillons of the cathedral of Antwerp. This gallantry on the

decided against Mr. Shore's protest, and ordered him to ap-
pear absolutely on the next Court day.

THE LATE THOMAS PHILLIPS, ESQ R.A.---This
distinguished artist, whose death took place early on Sunday
morning, was a native of Dudley, in 'Warwickshire, where
he was born in 1770. Having a very strong predilection. for. the
arts, he was placed with the late Mr. Edgiugton, of Birming-
ham, the restorer of the ancient art of gassstaining in Eng-
land. After a few years young Phillips came to London
with an introduction to the late Benjamin West, P.R.A., and
commenced portrait painting with tolerable success, and after
some years, having acquired considerable proficiency, he
elected an associate, and in 1809 a full member of the Royal
Academy of Painting, at the same time with Henry Howard
(secretary), and the late Nathaniel Marebant. Mr. Phillips
succeeded by election in 1824 to the professorship of painting
in the Academy, and delivered from the chair a course of six
lectures replete with the best advice to artists and the soundest
principles of art. Mr. Phillips resigned the profe.sor's chair in
1830 from the delicate state of his health; but he continued to
fulfil the other duties of council, visitor, at the .
In the summer of 1844 Mr. Phillips retired from the active duties
of, his profession, in which he had been for
ho the last few

the
rs
assisted by his youngest son Henry, w succeeds
practice. Soon after he established himself in London, Mr.
Phillips married a lady from Scotland, who was
.about to
embark for India. This union was one of the happiest upon
record. Four children, two boys and two girls (all living),
were the offspring of this marriage. The eldest son,
Scott
Phillips, has been for some years a
st
distinguieatlshed officer in
the Bengal Artillery. Mr. Phillips was greatly eeemed by
all who knew him ; the late Earl of Egremont was his steady
friend for thirty-eight years. He was a member f the club
at the '° Thatched House," formed by Johnson,o Reys,
&c., also of the Royal and Antiquarian Societies, the Royal
Institution, and was one of earliest members of the Atheneum
Club. Besides his lectures, Mr. Phillips wrote:inuch on the
arts ; all those on this subject in Ree's Cyclopedia are from
his pen.
THE AUCTION DUTlEB.—Considerable doubts
having prevailed as to the period at which the auction duties
are to cease, we aro authorized to state, that the Lords of the
Treasury have addressed a letter to the CoinmisFioners of
Excise, authorizing them to forbear to charge the duties on
auctions after the Bth of April, on the usual condition of
the parties consenting to abide the ultimate decision of
Parliament.
