BRITISH INSTITUTION, PALL MALL.

On Saturday last the annual exhibition of modern
v..orks of Art in this establishment was opened for the private view.
Tit weather was singularly unfavourable, cold, wet, and gloomy;
w therefore the more gratifying to see so many patrons of the
I'm. . Arts assembled on this occasion. Among them were the
Cot: of Essex, the Countess of Essex, Earl Brownlow, Countess
Fg.:lenlow, Colonel H. Ballik, the Hon. G. A. Ellis, M.P.. Sa-
muel Rogers, Esq; Sir G. Duckett, Bart; John Fulkr, Esq;
Sir S. B. Worland, Bart ; Saville Daley, Esq ; G. A. Gunder,
Li.j , Henry Baring, Esq. M.P; G. W. Taylor, Esq. M.P. arc.
Ali.ong the Royal Academicians present were Messrs. Daniel,
• ,Ilcott, Etty, Cooper, Hilton, Chalon, Turner, Chantry, Sir W.
they. Sir G. Wyattville, Bailey, and Some.
We were pleased to see that the number of very large pictures is
hooch diminished. This is as it should be in an establishment of
this description ; besides, it rarely happened, that the immensely
large pictures usually seen on these walls were entitled to, or ex-
cited, the public admiration. The works are on a smaller stale
generally, and, in all the points of pictorial excellence, are, we
think, a grade in advance of former collections in this place. At
present we have not room to point out all the works deserving at-
tention ; we shall merely mention a few, taken indiscriminately as
they presented themselves. We hope in a few days to go more at
large into this interesting subject.
No. 32. A Study. M. A. Shee, President of the Royal Aca-
demy.—This picture puts us in mind of some of Rembrandt's
elaborate portraits. The character of the head Is like what we
might imagine would suit Lord Byron's " Corsair." The colour-
ing is rich and natural; the drawing correct; the light and shade
broad, mellow, and effective. '
43. The Corsair. H. P. Briggs, A.—This composition Is de-
signed with spirit and taste ; the deep repose of the sleeping pirate
is well conceived, but we think Gulnare might have been repre.
sented more attractive and more impassioned.
53. The Stone-breaker. Edwin Landseer, A.—This is a small
picture, full of character, which is not impaired by a few inac-
curacies in the drawing; the colouring is clear and brilliant, the
light well distributed, and the pencilling careful.
146. Greek Girl. W. H. Pickersgill, R.A.—Subjects of this
kind are more favourable to rich and brilliant colouring than to a
Chaste or severe style; this picture, though showy, is not, we be-
lieve, more so than is usual among natives of the " Eastern clime ;"
the drawing is good, and the, tones of the flesh are clear and
natural.

199. Notre Dame. C. R. Stanley.—This view is taken from
the banks of the Seine; the scene is picturesque, and some passages
are well executed, but the towers are two hard against the sky,
which Injures the keeping, and lessens the magnitude of that ve-
nerable pile of Gothic architecture.
209. Interior of a Cottage, Argylesbire. A. Fraser.—This lit-
tle picture has a great air of truth about it, mixed with some fic-
tion ; it is, however, well drawn and chastely coloured.
258. Portobello, near Edinburgh; Morning. J. Wilson.—
TH. picture, though in effect and colour very good, has one strange
defect,—the horizon, or sea-line, evidently rises towards the mid-
dle of the picture, instead of being quite level.
240. Venus and Cupid. W. Etty, R.A.—This small picture is,
probably, among the best specimens of our native school ; the
drawing is correct ; the colouring clear and brilliant, yet chaste and
natural ; the general effect broad, although the detail is not ne-
glected. Perhaps the face of Cupid would admit of being repre-
sented of a more iniantine character.

KING'S COLLEGE, FORMING ONE OF THE

WINGS OF SOMERSET HOUSE, STRAND.

The preparations for the new edifice of King's College
ore now considerably advanced, though the ceremony called laying
the first stone has not yet taken place, nor have we learned that the
time fur that imposing affair has been Sled, or the personage chosen
upon whom the honour of the great deed is to devolve. " The
King. GOD bleu him," has now become a little too ancient for
feats of that class, and, possibly, his Royal Highness the Duke of
Cumberland may represent Majesty upon the occasion. Since the
7th of last September, 300 has been the average number of men
employed in excavating and laying the foundations, the greater part
of which are now up to the ground level. For those near the Strand
it has not been necessary to sink more than about six feet, nor more
than 14 even close to the River. Like all buildings upon a decli-
vity, one end of the edifice would contain a much greater number
of floors than the other, were it not arranged that the more spaci-
ous apartments are to be at the end of the building where the
ground descends, namely, next the River, and the rooms of lesser
dimensions at the north end. _

The area which this edifice will occupy contains between fifty
and sixty thousand square feet. On the South it is bounded
by the Thames, on the West by the east end of Somerset
House, on the North by the Strand, and on the East by Strand-
lane.
From North to South it measures about 400 feet, and from
East to West upwards of 150. Tgro houses in the Strand have *l.
ready been bought and taken down ; and, if insuperable obstacles
do not present themselves, possibly others may hereafter be pur-
chased. The contractor, Mr. Diartin. has merely undertaken for
perfecting what is technically called the carcase, namely, the walls
and roof, for which be is to receive somewhat upwards of £60,000
the work to be completed within three years. That time, we
should humbly conceive, would be more than sufficient for all, even
to the most minute finishings of the interior, if expedition were the
object. Mr. Beckford, of Foothill, would get up such a building
in half the time, even without the aid of torch-light. But Mr.
Martin has his full three years, and may proceed with all the eco-
nomy to which abundance of time is, in such undertakings so emi-
nently conducive. It has been proposed, we understand, to com-
plete the interior portion of the building, not by contract, but in
conformity with plans and specifications, the whole being subse-
quently surveyed, the actual prices of labour allowed, and also the
trade prices of timber and other materials, with a per ventage on
the timber, Bcc. but not on the labour, to Mr. Martin, or who-
ever else may be employed to superintend, for the conductors are
not bound to that gentleman beyond the mere contract for the
carcase.
The site, as the reader must have already anticipated, precludes
any exercise of architectural invention, or combination. It must
be a fac simile of the one wing of Somerset house, or it cannot be
called into existence at all; that is, it must present to the river a
short terrace and a pitiful little front of 80 or 90, or perhaps 100
feet, composed of an archway, surmounted by a short celonade of
four small Corinthian columns, not fluted, with an advanced section
of the building decorated with four pilasters; and this at best, Is
to be the grand point of " King's College;" for that which will run
along the east end of Somerset-house is robably to be built in coo.
lormity with the sides of the present quadrangle, of which that
edifice is principally composed; and as it must stand in immediate
proximity to Scmerset-hou•e, anything like a noble or imposing
effect is totally out of the question. Though them will be an en-
trance from the Strand, the spot occupied by the two houses re-
cently pulled down affords no capabilities, as Brown would say,
and thus the whole architectural character of this great national
and metropolitan edifice is, its being a copy of so unfinished wing
of Somerset-house; sod its splendid triumphs dwindle into being
nothipg more or less than the new wing of that building. This
observation is made from no feeling of hostility to the principle of
the establishment, and none can be more willing than we are to ad-
mit bow highly desirable it is that Somerset-house should be com-
pleted, but the mere adjunct of a set of Government offices is not
the sort of habitation in which the men who have lived in Oxford
or Cambridge, Edinburgh, Dublin, or even Aberdeen, would ex-
pect to see a British University located.
To the particulars given above, there remains little further
to be added, except that the estimated saving effected by avoid•
ing land carriage or antedate, owing to the proximity of the
river, will not be less than five per cent, upon the whole expendi-
ture. There are but three varieties of .tone used—Portland,.
Yorkshire, and Scotch Granite. The average numbee eit
MUMS employed is about twenty-five, but more than N
or 100 will soon be called into activity. There are 47 brick-
layers engaged at present, and their number also will be speedily
augmented. Much of the carpenter's work is done on Mr. Mar-
tin's own premises, but 12 or 13 carpenters are generally employed
on the period itself, with a few smiths and other artisan.. The
paymenalieenge £OOO weekly, and the ultimate cost of the whole
building will probably be nut less than £1150,000. May it proceed
and pauper, producing all the good which its warmer advocates
prom*, and escaping the failure and misfortunes which its enemies
—lf any It can have—may possibly predict.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Fits. 1.
JUMIENT,-MOSIIIS V. DAVIS.

The LORD CDADCiLLO---L, 011Ttaking his seat this morning la
Court, pronounced Judgment in this long-contested and im-
portant cause. It was a bill originally bled in the year 1812. by
the plaintiff, who claimed to be the legitimate sou of a gentleman
who died possessed of considerable landed and other property,
which, at his death, descended to the wife of the defendant,
Davis. The teal question to be decided was, the legitimacy of
Morris, the plaintiff' and to decide which question Lord Eldon
directed an issue. That issue was tried some years since, at
Shrewsbury, and after a trial of several days the Jury found
for the defendant, thereby annulling the plaintiff's claim. The
plaintiff was dissatisfied with the verdict, and after long and pro-
tracted discussions in this Court the late Chancellor directed
a second trial, when a contrary verdict was found, being in favour
of the plaintiff, thus establishing his legitimacy. Again proceed-
ings were carried on in Chancery, and the present Chancellor
directed a third issue, which his Lordship ordered should not take
place at Shrewsbury. ut at Gloucester: On this third trial, which
also occupied several days, the Jury were unable to agree. eleven
being in favour of the plaintiff. and one aganist him ; they were in
consequence discharged without giving any verdict. Some time
since application was made for a fourth trial, when again an ar-
gument of several days took place, and which ended by the Court
refusing the application • and this morning his Lordship gave judg-
ment in a cause which for eighteen years has been carried on with
the most expensive litigation. Ilia Lordship, alter minutely going
through the facts of the case, which have been repeated before the
public, concluded by saying he thought the plaintiff had failed in
proving his legitimacy'; and therefore as his claim to the property
of the deceased Mr. Morris depended upon that fact, the bill must
be diunined. With respect to costs, his Lordship would give his
opinion on a future day.
VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Fat. 1.

The Vicit-cumiczu.oft sat this morning at ten o'clock, and dis-
posed of a few causes; but, in consequence of Mr. KNOUT, who
still continued indisposed, being Counsel in several, the Court could
not proceed with them. His Honour rose at half-past eleven o'clock,
having nothing to go on with.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Frs. I.

At the Sittings of the Court this morning, the peremptory paper
was proceeded with.

cauenui 1117/01MA21011.

The Arroluze-Grxasar. made a motion, of which he gave no-
tice on the last day of Michaelmas Term. He moved in behalf of
the Magistrates of the Petty Sessions at Newton Bushell, in the
county of Devon, against the Editor of a Newspaper which circu-
lates in that neighbourhood, for the publication of a libel reflecting
on the character of the Magistracy. It appeared from the affidavits
that the Magistrates had refused to license a public-house, and that
the person- who had been refused the license (Mr. Mercatti) ap-
pealed to the Quarter Sessions. In consequence of the proceedings
upon the appeal, an article appeared in the newspaper, imputing
corrupt conduct to the Justices. The Attorney General read part
of the alleged libel, which complained of the conduct of the
Magistrates in the following terms :—" How much longer are we
to be insulted by such Justices? It is time for every Englishman
to hold up to public infamy such jobbing Magistrates." The writer
imputed corrupt motives to the Magistrates, and charged them with
refusing to grant the license under the influence of Sir L. Palk.
The Magistrates in their affidavits denied corrupt motives, and
'tared that they refused the license because there was no occasion
for a public house. All the proceedings upon the appeal passed
in open Court, and no idea was entertained at the time that
any person had cause for complaint. Only a few of the Magis-
trues were present, yet the newspaper had thought proper to at-
tack all the Magistrates.
Lard TINTZSDIK—Take a rule to show cause.
TIM Km v. ISAACSON AND 02111111 S.

Mr. Humirmatia moved that the Rev. Mr. Isaacson, who had re-
ceived notice, with other proprietors of the Morning Journal, to
come up on Thursday to receive judgment for the publication of a
libel on the Duke of Wellington, might be allowed to attend and
receive judgment next Term. The application was made upon the
affidavit of Mr. Isaacson, in which he stated that he was a Clergy-
man residing at Demerara. He was not the author of the libel, but a
proprietor of the Paper. He held a living at Demerara, and was
in England on leave of absence for a year, which had expired.—
The deponent had been ordered to return to De , and in
case of disobedience his living would be taken from him He ex-
pected to be able to go and return again before next Term, and
was willing, if be could save his living, to return. His affidavit
also stated that be was ready to return to Demerara, and was only
waiting with his family on account of this prosecution. If he did
not return to Demerara, he must vacate his living.
Lord Tsunami—He will not go before Thursday.
Mr. Htturnans—My Lord, I am not sure that he is not on
board, and on the point of sailing.
Lord Txrearsoan—You might have made your application
earlier.
__

Mr. Hinurnams—We had not received notice.
Lord Trairmiossi—You might have made it before notice was
rued. How ate the other side to show cause?

Mr. Hosaramas—There is no danger of Ms nut returning ; his
security will remain ; and his only reason for going is to save his
living.
Lord Tanzman—You may draw ,up your Ride for Wednes-
day, but I do not say you can mak* it absolute.
Ride to shew cause granted.

Mr. Biannual& moved for a writ of Mandamus, to compel
Thomas Benson, a collector appointed by the Comissioners under
a local Act for lighting and improving the City of York, to levy
certain rates upon the inhabitants of the twenty-four parishes in that
city. The Learned Gentleman stated that the Commissioners
were empowered by the Act to make a ra:e for one shilling in
the pound for a year, and to appoint a collector., Having appointed
Thomas Benson, that person had refused to levy the said rates.

EXCHEQUER CHAMBER, Pm 1.
LLDIA kb V. iNSTIZ.

OD the Loaf► Cuter BARON coming tato Court this morning, be
proceeded to pronounce judgment in this case. It Was a bill flied by
a Rector; the defence to which was a real composition in lieu of
tithes in kind. The question therefore turned on the point whether
the real composition which was set up was sustainable or not?
A real composition is an agreement between the landowner, patron,
parson, and ordinary, whi. h gave the parson lands, or other easels-
meets, in lieu of the tithes in kind. Anciently the practice in cues of
this description was to have the deed produced which establabed the
real composition, but recently the practice had been modiSed, and
presumptive evidence of the existence of such a deed was received,
according to the rules of presumption, which are adopted in the
Court. It is clear that non-payment of tithes, wlibout other evi-
dence, is insufficient to establish this defence. The lands in gun-
don, in the reign of Charles 11. belonged to a gentleman named
Vandenhoff, who had three daughters : a deed of partition was
executed to the three daughters, and there were several other
deeds which mentioned the payment of some small sums of
money as part of a larger sum of 10e. He thought it necessary to
state, that neither in the pleadings nor evidence was there the least
reference to a writing under band and seal, establishing a real coot-
position. Deere had been several cases cited in the arguments on
both sides ; and from the authority of them lee was reluctantly
compelled, though there appeared to have been no tithes paid in
►ind:in this parish since the time of the Edwards, to come to the
conclusion that this dctence had failed. Perhaps the law ii
this case was defective, but it was nut for this inferior Court to
site' it; that was for a superior Court. or for the Legislature. to

MURDER.

CONFRIMION OF BROWN AND WILLIAIIB.—In our
'paper of lost week, we mentioned the partioulars which transpired
before the Coroner, F. Howard, Zsq. in his enquiry into the cause
of the death of William Winney. a convict, who was found on the
previous Friday morning, in a sited in H.M. Gouwkarf, wish his
throat coil (in the uvula' of this inquest, the Coroner after a
patient and most minute investigation, whkli lasted five days, inti-
mated to the jury, that be did not consider the evidence sufficiently
conclusive or distinct to warrant their returning a verdict of " Wil-
ful Murder," against any particular person. The Jury, however,
It will be recollected, after a abort deliberation, returned a verdict
of Wilful Murder against John Powell. At the time we went to
press, yesterday se'nnight, we sided with the Coroner in the view
he wok of the transaction, but It would have ill-become us, as
public journalists, to have expressed any such opinion, In the face of
the decision of a highly respectable Jury, which we are quite sure
was a conscientious one. Circumstances have since come to light,
which however contradictory in themselves, tend nevertheless
strongly to confirm' the presumption of Powell's innocence. It ap-
pears that Powell was, after the inquest, removed on board the
York Hulk, where he was, of course, placed in confinement, and
we must here remark that it is not customary to allow the convicts
to mix freely with each other, but merely to hold intercourse with
those of their own respective classes. It occurred, however, to
Capt. Kirkham, of the York, that if the prisoner were allowed the
range of the ship, the rest of the convicts being also for a time freed
from the usual restraint, be might possibly be induced to enter into
conversation with the other convicts, and that something might
perhaps come out to elucidate the facts of this mysterious case.
Accordingly, after chapel time, on Sunday last, Powell was per-
mitted to associate with his comrades, a strict watch being kept
upon him. The murder soon became the subject of general con-
versation, and certain suspicious hints were heard to pus between
Brown and a man by the name of Smith Williams, which were
communicated to Capt. Kirkham, who immediately ordered both
to be confined in separate cells. Brown, whose evidence on the
verdict will be recollected as tending to implicate Powell, was af-
terwards, during the former part of the week, questioned by the
Captain, who at the same time cautioned him strictly, telling him
that any information be might give relative to the murder would
be urged against him, and therefore his communication, if he had
any to make, must be voluntary. Brown then, in the presence of
the mate, Mr. Bailey, made a confession to Capt. Kirkham, of
which theDfollowing Is the substance. On Thurday, the day be.
fore the murder, deponent was in conversation with Smith Wil-
liams, when the latter observed that Winney was well-tined. in con-
sequence of which they agreed between them that Smith Williams
should procure some rum, and entice the deceased into a shed to
drink it. Williams said he would be damned but be would have
his money or his life. Some rum was accordingly procured by
Brown, from a labourer named John Blight, and given to Williams,
who accompanied deceased into the shed, No. 9, Brown remaining
on the saw-pit watching the event, (his partner ,having gone into
the carpenter's shop with some oak which they had just cut.)
Williams then offered the rum bottle to deceased, who took it from
him, and while in the act of drinking, Williams knocked him down
by a blow on the temple with a hammer In about a quarter of an
hour from the time when Williams entered the shed, be came out
again, and beckoned to Brown, who went up to him ; Williams
showed him his bloody bands, and said, " I have done for him."
—I hey then both proceeded together to the pnnsp lo the centre of
the shot square, about twenty yards distance, where Williams
washed the blood from his hands and shoes. Williams then told
Brown that he had hidden the rum-bottle, whist' be described as
being a Sat-sided one, under some skidding in a certain store. A
bottle of this description has since been discovered in the place de-
scribed by Brown. Williams. however, gives a very different ver-
sion of the story in a confession which be nude to Capt. Kirkham
at different periods during the week, baying been previously cau-
tioned by the Captain as to the effect of any information he might
give. Williams says. that Brown told him last Wednesday morn-
ing, that he was very much troubled in his mind about Winney,
for that he had helped to murder him. He said he was in shed,
No. 9, with the deceased, when be struck him two or three blows
with a hammer, which knocked him down ; that be dragged him
to the light nearer to the door, that he might the better see him,
and thinking he might possibly recover from the blows, be took
Winney's knife out of his pocket and cut his throat. In a subse-
quent confession yesterday, Williams said that he saw Brown come
out of N 0.9 an the Friday morning of the murder, when he (Wil-
Hams) accompanied him to the pump ; that Brown bad a bloody
handkerchief which he put into his bat ; that he then took out a
long knife from under his jacket, which he dropped down the pump.
This pump has since been examined, as well as the drain or tank
near it, but no knife has been discovered.
An investigation took place Saturday afternoon, before the Ma.
gistrates of the borough, but being a private one, the particulars
are not known. Brown and Williams,froin the fact of their being
kept separate, oral naturally afraid of each other's evidence, so
tbat, in all probability, the truth of the case will shortly be known
from one or the other, as each will be anxious to save himself at the
expense of the other. The information they bays already given,
although very contradictory, tends at least to prove, that both of
them were accessories to the murder, though some doubts may
exist as to which of the two actually committed it. Powell still
remains in confinement, as it is nut possible to upset the Coroner's
verdict, without a tedious and expensive process. He will in all
probability be brought up for trial, pro-forma, and in the absence
of any evidence will be immediately acquitted.

We are extremely happy to be able to contradict the
late report of the death of the admirable comedian, Mr. Manners.
Accounts which may be relied upon have been since received,
which state him to be ht possession of perfect health.—Galigrunses

lent health and spirits at Edinburgh, a general report of his death
has been in general circulation at Paris )
TALE OF MISERY.--A few days ago, a weaver came
to a Clergyman of this city, with the following tale of misery and
woe :—He said, that when employed be could only earn 41. per
week ; that he had a wife and sir young children ; that be had
tasted no food from Saturday ro Monday, except some raw tur-
nips, which he bad taken in a field in the neighbourhood, on the
Sabbath; that his wife had been delivered of twins; that, unable
Ito move, the half famished babes were sucking the half-famished
mother, till they literally drew blood instead of milk from her
bosom ! The Clergyman, with an elder, visited the abode ; they
saw—they wept—they relieved—what they were told was not a
solitary case in this place.—Glasgowariwier.
Yesterday morning; about one o'clock, a fire broke out
in the Black Bey public-house, in Beauchamp-street, Brook's-
market, Holborn. bit. Milton, the landlord, and his family, re-
tired to rest between 11 and 12 o'clock on Sunday Light, but
scarcely had closed their eyes, before they were alarmed by the
cry of "fire. fire," and upon awakening they found themeless
enveloped with smoke, and heard the policemen outside the pre-
mises call to them to lose no time in effecting their escape. We
are happy to state that they succeeded in doing so, and that
no fives were lost. In less than two hours the whole of the build-
ing, with the exception of the front wail, was consumed to its
foundation, and the adjoining houses have sustained very consider-
able ,injury. Although at a lace hour yesterday morning the
smoke was ascending from the dying embers, Icicles of Immense
length were pending from the burnt beams and rafters, which
were lying in all directions; and the walls of the adjacent premises,
upon which the engines playedt muted a complete sheet,of ice!
THE TAR AND THE WHlP.—Ratier in extraordi-
nary occurrence took place at Llangollen, in the county of Den-
bigh, between a Jack Tar and a Knight of the Whip, on a curious
question, viz. which of the two had the best claim to a spouse,
both husbands being fields y Jt appears that about the year 1818, a
Cambrian lass being in service at Liverpool, and not before able
to judge of the power of a first. rate man of war, she, after a short
engagement, was persuaded to bear to, and be made his partner
through fife. Bet, in the course of a few months, Jack was
