?NE FINE AR! S.

Tuaxettem.r, the celebrated Sculpiar, has just
finished a marble statue of our :illustrious and retie-
ralsie Soveteign, so majestic and-yet so placid, as to
excite a glow of loyalty and enthusiai.m in all Who
inspect it. The virtues, in shoat, which warmed the
manly heart, and grated the long and honoured life
of the royal original, have bete most. happily de.
picted by the Sculptor in his present chef deist's,.
Air. TVRNEIIELLI has caught the peculiarly graceful
and dignified, but altogether unaffected attitude of
Gaotma ti l. when addressing his Parliament ; and
in addition to the elegance of the whole figure, the
rich drapery of the royal costume is arranged with
exquisite skill. Under the flowing palliamentary
robe is seen. part of a rich embroidered .brat. similar
to that which his Islajesty usually wore on state occa.
sions, with the full Order of the Garter, George and
Dragon prominent in the front, the wig tied behind
and flawing curls. The left hand of the figure rests
on part of a oolumn.the other hand holdi the sceptre:
the column vupports the clown and cushion, on the
front of which is a pleasing device, emblematical of
the union of the three coo itries, by.the rose, sham-
rock, and thistle, encircled with a wreath of oak.

expression of the features is by far the most
correct delineation we have ever seen, and• most
faithfully pourirays the mild and beneficent counte-
nance of our belovLd Sovereign, without the emotion
which marks so many of the other likenesses. It ap.
pears to be a faithful study from the well known and
winch admired Bust Ice villids hit MAJlnalf did Mr.
upsatut the honour to sit, in October, 1809, to
c te his Jubilee, and which is known
throufil•out Europe by the' name of the a Jubilee

of the English school of Sculpture.

It is reported that the French Government have
it in contemplation to-raise a sum of money by Lot-
tery, for assisting the Parisians to, meet the requisi.
tions made by the Allies ; in which case the scheme
and plan of dratving will be modelled upon our's.—
We Are not surprised that they should condescend to
borrow from as in this particular—especially when
we look at the Scheme of the Lostety to he Drawn
next week, in which we find a list of splendid Prizes,
and only Five Thousand Tickets.
At the Quarterly Meeting of the General Assembly
of the Church of Scotland, held on the 9th of August
last, eloquent and impressive speeches were made by
Dr. JQIIN iNbLiit and Dr. FIRANCIS NICOLt, to recom-
mend aid support Athol* the people of Scotland, the
liberal and well merited Subscription for the sufferers
of the British Army in the Victetry of Waterloo.—
These speeches were preserved and retorted in an
elaboratte manner, by an effort of memory, of a relf.
roved young man, the son of a private of the gallant
42d Regiment, who fell in the defence of his country
in that ha .fought and glorious battle : having stated
his case, and simple story, elegantly written, and
being found to be well versed in Latin, Greek, and
other acquirements, he has beenhy the fortunate
notice and generous em-eof Rosairtelonitsrmit, Esq.
of the Waterloo Committee, at Edinburgh, at once
placed as one of the Assistants to the 'Librarian in the

IrAll LIAM%
• . The Defendant in this case, who is a tayertkeeper,
attended in. compliance with a summons from the
Commissioners, to answer a demand made upon him
by the Plaintiff, who is a hair dresser, tor 18s. 6d.
being the alleged value of a scalp, made to cover his
bald pate.
The Plaintiff having stated his case, the Defendantl
was called upon for his defence, which consisted!
iimply in the assertion that the Scalp in question was
not the colour of his natural hair, being of a com-
plete carroty hue, and his Own hair being dark brows.
The Plaintiff, by way of rejoinder, produced the
written order of the Defendant, in vrbich he 'a. di
rected to make a handsome scalp of a " winning nit-
ftearance," hut there was not one word about the
colour or quality.
The Defendant, on hearing this read, admittei
that it was his order, hut observed that die
had been in the constant habit of shaving him for
three years, and coesequently could not be ignorant
of the colour of his hair. In making a red scalp,
therefore, he could have no other object in view than
that of making him ridiculous to his customers.
The Commissioners said they were certainly of
opinion that it WAS rather an esti aortlinary*stretch of
fancy in any man to suppose that carroty locks were
either winning or agreeable; nevertheless, as there
had been no specific agreement for colour, the plain-
'tiff Was at liberty to consult his own mite, and it that
taste was bad, the mistOrtune must tall on his cus-
tomer, who had neglected to be more explicit in his
directions. The Commissioners could not, however,
out call upon the plaintiff to state the masons by
which he had been actuated in the extraordinary
choice he had made.
The Plaintiff, who appeared to be an honest Ca-
ledonian, candidly answered, that he took no blame
lo himself whatever.. The defendant bad directed
him in his written oral & to make a scalp of a 44 win-
ning appearance," and as he had never experienced the
winning effects of any ornament of that sort himself,
he. determined not to be guided in his choice by his
own judgment, but to apply to • his wife, .who, like
him:self, had come from Inverness, and who, he con-
ceived, would be better able In say what was agree-
able to the fair sex' (for he supposed the defendant's
orders had the ladies in view), than himself—and she,
without hesitation, gave the prefereece to 46 alyellow
Aair'd ladder." By thi: choice he was guided, and if
he had erred, he had only to lament the defendant's
instructions were not more exeress.
The Commissioners thought this explanation
tremely satisfactory, and under all the circumstances,
however ill, as they were ready to admit, a carrot /
scalp became the defendant, felt themselves bound to
decide in favour of the plaintiff, whose demand they
awarded to be paid, with costs.
The debt being paid, the parties were discharged,
the defendant declaring most vehemently that the
plaintiff should never take him ly the sees again.

aims laid on the floor, and. resuming his load, he
tgOk it to a pawnbroker's, and demanded fourteen

carried it back again. But here a different reception
awaited him s the man whom he had beaten claimed
the I?ed, and was waiting with Goff, the officer, to
