THE ARTS.

BRUMLB, Nov. 25.—Last Frid,ty about 70
personsi among ‘elmin were several Artists, as.
setiOlesl to found a Society,,of which Eogland.and
some German towns have set the example, and
•which the Netherlanders are worthy to follow,
namely, the cstahlis.homot of a Fund for the Relief
of meritorions and dist! &nista Artists in their old
age. A very excelletr, plan was presented by Mr.
Wier, of Brussels, a very agreeable Composer.
Which was tmeointonsly approved of, and signed by
all the versons present. It would be too long to go
into the details of the act of the formation of this
Society ; suffice it to say, 'that all the regulations,
.ore divoell.by an enlightened spirit at lantuanity.

STAra OF lila ,SlJfat.-;.The iteV. STARK',
Canon and Astronomer of Angsborgh, has ob-
served' in the Son a vast opening or cavity, four
minutes 36 seconds from its eastern, and 15 mi-
mites seven, seconds from its *anthem edge. In
that cavity, the, apparent' diameter of which is
three times larger than the real diameter of the
earth, are seen two black hollows or boles, se-
parated from each other by a luminous space, and
the largest of which termitkates in a point at its
upprr extremity, and is very wide, and crenated at
its lower. Between this vast apparent abyss and
the eastern edge of the Sun there are several asperi-
t its, below which four small black spots are seen,
and six above.—(Gozette de Fiance, Dec. 3.)

The exatnihation al Preston, Hooper, edshatatt,
Carter, and Oatable, at the Mansion Hawse, did
not take place yesterday as was expected, but they
were all in waiting in the custody of the officets.
'The public examination of the rioters is post-
rled until ‘Vednesday next.
Vrom all the cirrurastances which have trans.
pire4l, and which for the present are very pro-
perly known only to the Government and sow: of
the Magistrates, it WAS yesterday stated that the
plan was muck more general and extensive than
was at first imagined. The atteippt at insurrec-
tion was certain as well as the being provided,
with arms. This lane' fact is not only establish-
ed by the declaration of some of the parties in
custody, hut by the accounts delivered from seve-
ral quarters of the purchase of shot and powder
on the tnorning of Monday. Mr. Hawkins, of
Ilishopsgate-street, in part;cular, disposed of
quantity of powder and small tihnt early that day,
but his servants-, who supplied the persons who
purchased these articles, had of corrrse no appre-
hension of their design,.' Slime of the parties who
so purchased, however, calk heldtvitiot, •
Preston•still talks largely of the extent and na-
ture of the plot. Hooper, who states Preston to
be the instigator and great maeldnist of the cnn-
spiracy, has declared that the two tVatsons, him-
self, and Preston, were in concert togeth,*.in
Spa-fields on the morning of Monday. By some
accident, lioweVer,•when the patly left that place,
with the younger Watson tit their heed, for the
purpose Of advancing into the city, they lost sight
of each other, but Hooper after Wards saw the
former in the midst 'of the mob in Cheapside.—
Preston aka acknowledges that he was himself
with the patty in the Nlinories at three o'clock:,
r e latter fact, indeed, can be attested by A wit
I)etiS who saw him there,' and who, from the dr-
ennistanee of Preston's being lame, is more cer-
tain of the fact Another Gentlenran eau speak
to the unionof Preston, the %liaisons, and noopqr,
in Spa-fields. A man named Thistleton, also,
it is discovered, was most active In' the various
scenes of the riot:Ts, but he is not yet secured.
We ste'ed yesterday that two lancets were found

in the shop of Mr. Be, kw ith since the commksion
of the 'outrage on Monday. 'Upon a close exitini•
trati9o at these instruments yesterday, the name
at Watson was di•covered legible upon the inside
of each. Mr. Beckwith attended the Mansion-

who was hi the shop with Mr. Platt at the mo-
ment tbe't ioters entered. Ile is an inteiligent lad,
describes most accurately the person of the

entirely ‘eith the-person of young Watson) ; and
also of the man, a sailor, who was must active in

is to be taken to the Compter, where he may
possibly identify some of the parties in custody,
thii morning.

There were accordingly found there drafts of }Ali-

Letters also were discovered addressed to Preston,
with the signature of Runt; hut pone of these, as
we have Jearnt, are of s criminal nature. For some
Java previous to the last meeting in Spafields, Wat-
son ,nevernppeared at his lodging: in Hytie-street,
and itislconjectured that this active revolutionist
was busily employed night and day elsewhere in
arranging with Hooper, Preston, and nt her chiefs
of this contemptible, though desperate piot, that
plan.of plunder anti devastation which, untorta-
nately, succeeded to is certain extent on Monday
last. There are various conjectures as to the

probable of them, that he is at present on board
