.12(drifz,— ACADEMT.

Mr. Peseta Ii commenced a series of Lectures on
Painting; that on. Thursday evening was devoted to
that department of the art called Design.
It was scarcely necessary, he observed, to state,
that he used the terns Drsigst, not according to the
generai meaning of the word, but in its most concise
and specific sense, to signify the drawine or outlining
of the figure. It is this alone whicii will stand the
test of time ; colours fade and are lost ; lines alone
;ate never obliterated. Design has two ptinCipal ex-
eliencies—correctness and style : two principal de-
fects—incorrecmess and manner. It has been said
within these walls, by a person of celebrity; that the
sooner the student in drawing learned to bindle the
the better ; but it would certainly be pervert-
jog his meaning to suppose that he intended, by this
. oisservation, to discourage correctness; on the con-
trary; the opinion he wished to exiiress woes. this, that
:ts long as that great end, correctness of deiign, was
7e idled, it mattered notWheiher it itier;-"ittatiledwith
the pencil, the crayon; or the pen. This correctness
is the grand aim in art ; colour, grace, and• taste,
ought to be its companions, not substitutes for it.—
Without it they form only splendid defects. The
mode of study pursued by the students in the -Aca-
demy is too-frequebtly to alter, or, according to their
ideas, to improve the antique. Thin to whit pur-•
pose is it to give them the antique first, as a standard

tions on it ? - It is the antique alone Which' can --tees,

to the students not being sufficiently *grottAed in' this
style, that their admission into the lite Acadi-MY is'so
rldom attended with advantage. They enter. with-
on; elements, and depart without success. Mr. Iruseli
here remarked, that there were two opinions respec-
ting the mode in which the students in the Life Aca-
demy ought to study froin Nature, viz. whether
they should copy accurately, and without discrimina-
tion, the living figure before them, or correct it after
the antique. He gave it as his decided opinion that
they were admitted into the Life Academy for the
purpose of profiting by their knowledge of the antique,
and that they ought to improsie their designs from
the living .model, by approximating to that idea of
perfection which their previous studies had afforded
them. To the anatomy of the human body--to the
muscles, tendons, and articulations of the bones, the
aoaation of the student ougl.t especially to be direc-
ted. 'Nor is the study of physiognomy to be rejec-
ted. With 'regard to physiognomy, there are some
who admit its effect Mahe mass, but deny it in the,

manner, for they e ere all to be taught ;- bur after
they had done all th it might be anticipated in those
respects, they were but at the commencement of
their career. They have arrived at that point.where

can be taught, and without which nothing great is
ever to be expected. We are, perhaps,- robbing the
pulpit, the desk, the plough, or the looms of many
luable supporters; and it may bevelled upon, that an
industrious tradesman, or a good Mechanic, is a
greater ornament to society than a poet or an artist
of mediocrity ; it is, therefore, the duty of the Aca-
demy to deter rather than to allure, for genius will not
be deterred, but will finally overcome eatery-discou-

Friday morning early, DI cow, a respectable
warehouseman, in Watling-street, was discovered quite
naked and nearly lifeless, in the fields near the'hlsep.
herd and Shepherdess, City-road.. Mr..D. was taken
to a neighbouring public-house, where he now lies,
dangerously ill. For' some hours' aftet his remoial
be wets too 'enfeebled to state what had.eauied his
being four.d in that situation. It is suppOsedt hew.
eve c, that he was knocked down the preceding night,
and robbed of all his property ; when she ruffians, noki
eaustiud with plundering him, had the barbarity to
strip him quite naked, and after beating him, to leave'
him eiposed to the inclemency of the weather.' The
watchman in that neighboinhood says that he had on
that morning met a man who was running very fast,
and who said he had been robbed near that place, but
it was afterwards suspected that he was one of those
who robbed Mr. Deacon. The Magistrates of Wor-
ship-street Office went to Mr. Deacon's examination,
but he was found too weak to collect any particulars.
from him. Saturday, however, all the persons who
I"knew any thing of the manner in which he was found
. were privately examined by Sir WibLIAM PARSONS'
siva Mr. Mozart. and,it is hoped the perpetrators of
shit nefarious crime will shortly be apprehended.
