THE LADY CHAPEL OF WESTMINSTER

ABBEY.

" But the building, of all others most in-
tended for a receptacle and display of sculpture,
which former ages have left in England for our
admiration, is the Lady Chapel of Westminster
Abbey, built by Henry VII. to receive his
tomb. It has been said the number of statues,
within and without this chapel, amounted to
three thousand !—perhaps many of these have
been destroyed, and in that number every half
figure, or animal, may have been reckoned ; but
certainly, even at this day, the number is very
great, and it is another marvellous example of
the astonishing estimation and employment of
sculpture in this kingdom before the Reforma-
tion. Many interesting particulars concerning
this chapel and tomb, from original documents,
are given in Britton's Architectural Antiqui-
ties from which, and The Life of Torri-
giano,' by Vasari, we may conclude that artist
was employed on the tomb only, and had no
concern with the building or the statues with
which it is embellished. The structure appears
to have been finished, or nearly so, before Torri-
giano began the tomb ; and there is reason to
think that he did not stay in this country more
than six years, which time would be nearly, if not
quite, taken up in the execution of the tomb and
some other statues about it, now destroyed, to-
gether with the rich pedestal and enclosure. The
architecture of the tomb has a mixture of Roman
arches and decoration, very different from the
arches of the chapel, which are all pointed ; the
figures of the tomb have a better proportion and
drawing, in the naked, than those of the chapel ;
but the figures of the chapel are very superior in
natural simplicity and grandeur of character and
drapery.
" From these differences in style, from the
indentures with Torrigiano relating to the tomb
only, and not to the chapel, and from the names
of several English artists, painters, sculptors,
founders, and masons, being mentioned in the
documents, who were not concerned in Torri-
giano's engagement, we may presume the chapel
and its sculptures were native productions.
After the observations on this building, we
must take a long farewell of such noble and mag-
nificent efforts of art, in raising which the inten-
tion of our ancestors vras to add a solemnity to
religious worship, to impress on the mind those
virtues which adorn and exalt humanity.
" The greater number of these structures are
already gone !—the remaining few are daily
crumbling into ruins !—and with what are their
places to be supplied ?
".The reign of Henry VIII., and those imme-
diately succeeding him, were employed in settling
disputes of faith by public executions; as either
of the contending religious parties prevailed, this
mutual and undistinguishing spirit of persecution
extended to the equal destruction of man and
his ingenious labours.”—Pp.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE.—June 9.

Tile prices of Wheat at this morning's market were
noted fully 3d. per bushel below the rates of last Tues-
dry, and even at this abatement very few sales were of
fected. Two kr three cargoes of Oats were sold to the
Yorkshire miners, at a decline of about id. per 4.51 b, ;
but the trade in this Grain also ended heavily. Flour
supported our previous currency, there being only a
mited supply at market. Oatmeal was sold 6d. to Is.
per load cheaper. Beans and Pease were each a shade
higher.

EXTRAORDINARY APPLICATION.--On
Tuesday, a private soldier in the Guards, and a brick-
layer's labourer, applied to Mr. WHITE, at the Queen-
square Police-office, to decide which of them was entitled
to claim the affections of a woman above the middle age.
The deserted fair one took her station between the two
gallants, but from her looks it was quite evident that her
heart yearned towards the soldier. The bricklayer's la-
bourer stated his case, from which it appeared that he had
married his frail rib some years ago, and he therefore said,
that as she was his lawful wife he had the best claim to
her, although she was now living with the soldier. The
soldier contended, on the other side, that he had the best
claim to her, for else liked him better than any other man
in the world, and fur security he bad lately married her
also, and he never would give up his right; wherever he
went there should she go. Mr. WHITE :—" Why, then,
you are both married to the same woman ?" The con-
tending parties answered in the affirmative, and the wife
of two husbands hung down her head and sighed. Mr.
WHITE told the woman she ought to be indicted for bi-
gamy, and recommended the soldier and the bricklayer's la-
bourer to go and settle about their wife somewhere else.
The brick,layer's labourer said it was a very hard case that
he was to be robbed of his lawful wife in such a manner.
He would, however, give up his right and title provided he
had a small remuneration for his claim, and that the parish
should have no power over him hereafter to make him
support her. Mr. WHITE told them lie had nothing to
do with it, and they must make their arrangements else-
where. The parties accordingly adjourned to a public-
house in the neighbourhood, where,. over sundry pots of
half-aad-half, an amicable treaty was entered into between
the husbands. The first husband, however, candidly con-
fessed to the soldier that his wife had never been particu-
lar about her amours. The bricklayer's labourer, finding
it in vain to contend any longer with the gallant son of
Mars, capitulated ; terms were entered into, and the
parties separated with great satisfaction to themselves,
quite delighted with the result.

Mr. JONES, the Chairman of the Bridge-house
Committee, brought up the Report of the Com-
mittee appointed to inquire into the subject of their
Lordships' order to present the account of the in-
come and expenditure of the. Corporation. The
Report stated, that in cases where the question was
whether money should be granted to the Corpora-
tion to defray the expenses of any undertaking in
,vhich they should embark, it was usual to comply
with any order for the production of accounts, in
order to show the gronnds of the applicationi. and
that the Committee saw no reason for refusing to
comply with the order of their Lordships. Mr.
Jones moved that the Report be agreed to, which
being seconded,
Mr. BURRA rose to oppose the proposition, or
rather to move an amendment that a vote of censure
be passed upon the Committee for having acted
ithout receiving any authority from the Court.
Mr. THORNHILL, a new member, strongly cen-
sured the Committee.

Mr. TICKNER defended the conduct of the Corn-
mittee in the course they had pursued. That Com-
mittee had supplied to the Lords wl,at every one
had access to—the printed accounts of income and
expenditure which the Corporation was willing the
whole world should see. They had in no respect
violated or exceeded their duty, but had proved
themselves worthy of the utmost confidence. He
felt surprised at the objection which had been
started to the report, but more particularly at the
animadversions cast upon the Committee. Those
animadversions, accusing some Members of that
Court of a violation of their duties, came with a very
bad grace from a person who had transgressed the
most solemn obligations of a Member of that Court,
by affording to those Noblemen who were privately
interested information which he was bound by hi•
oath to conceal. It was notorious that the indivi-
dual alluded to furnished the opposing Lords with.
questions and information which should not have
been given utterance to.—(Cries of " Name.")
The LORD MAYOR, finding that the demand to
know the name of the party offending in the way
mentioned was very loud and general, stated to the
Court that Mr. Tickner was not obliged to name the
individual to whom he alluded.

Mr. TICKNER said that as he had not yet deter-
mined whether or not to bring a charge against the
Member whom he accused of this species of double
dealing, he should not at present mention the name.
Mr. GALLOWAY, Mr. TAYLOR, and Mr. STEVENS,
and others of the most popular members of the
Court, commended the conduct pursued by the
Committee.
The LORD MAYOR considered that the Com-
mittee could not have done otherwise than recom-

mended the Court to comply xvith the order 01
the Lords.

Several sharp observations were made respecting
the attack made by one of their Lordships on the
Magistrates of the City of London. It was admit-

tee that some excuse was to be made for sudden
elevation,—that it was but natural for a man who
bounced from the House of Commons into the
Lords, to depreciate every one he left behind, par•
ticularly when his interests clashed with those of
the community whom their Representatives were
bound to protect,—that the serious losses which
had been occasioned by the ruin of the combination
were but too well calculated to engender animo-
sities, and that the ebullition which had been made
in another place was to be considered as resulting
from the vast public convenience which had grown
out of the disagreement between the great coal
monopolists.
The report was agreed to, no more than five or
six hands having been held up against it.
Since the breaking up of what are called the re-
gulations, the price of coals, it has been ascertained,
has fallen 9s. or 10s.

EXTRACTS FROM THE EVIDENCE
BEFORE THE LORDS' COMMITTEE,
ON THE LONDON-BRIDGE APPROACHES' BILL.

BENJAMIN WHINNELL SCOTT examined.

I think you stated to their Lordships, on Tues-
day, that you were the Principal Clerk to the Cham•
berlain of London did ; and for 30 years.
Explain to their Lordships the exact nature of
the Orphans' Fund. Is it not this,—that the or-
phans of the City of London can lodge their money
in the hands of the Chamberlain, and he is bound to
give them four per cent. till it shall become due to
them, on arriving at age ?—That was the practice;
they were so bound to deposit the whole of their
property in the hands of the Corporation, and for
which the Corporation were compellable to pay four
per cent.
What sum did the Corporation state themselves
to be indebted to orphans or creditors when they
applied to Parliament, in the year 1695, for the Act
passed in the .sth of William and Mary ?-747,4521.
State of what the Orphans' Fund consists ?—lt

consists of the duties of 6d. and 4d. on all coals im-
ported into the port of London, and 4d. per tun on
all wines imported into the port of London.
What does the tax on wine produce ?—The tax
on wine produces on an average from 4,3001. to
4,4001. a year. _ _

The next item is the charges on the City's re-
venue, amounting to 8,0001.; 2,0001. has been im-
posed by a subsequent Act, and 1,5001. by another
Act, namely, 7th Geo. III.; together 11,5001.
There are—a duty of ss. on the admission of
every Freeman ; and 2s. 6d. on the binding of every
Apprentice.
What does the Orphans' Fund receive with all
those rates and imposts together ? The produce of
those duties and impositions, including charges on
the City's revenue, produces about 79,0001. per
annum.

Can you state what improvements have taken
place in the City rents ?—A very considerable im-
provement has taken place in the rents of the Cor-
poration within the last 30 years.
In the statement which is laid on the table, end-
ing the 31st Dec. 1813, and purporting to be a
brief state of the produce of the City's estate,
there is, by general rents within the City of Lon-
don and the Liberties thereof, and the county of
Middlesex, 31,000/. a year ?—There is.
Can you give their Lordships any item, under the
head of corn, timber, and West India produce, and
other articles coming into the port, where the Cor-
poration of London has power to levy a tonnage
duty for the accommodation afforded to the entrance
of those vessels ? State all those commodities
which pay any sum of money to the Corporation
for that convenience.—No payment is made to the
Corporation of London, in relation to tonnage for
coming into the port of London ; there is a duty
