rably delineated figure cif a servant in the aet of dra.
ing a cork, in whose face the labour of the task
well depicted: Every part of this picture is ve
highly finished, and the lights are harmoniously d
tributed ; but the wall and the cieling of the apai

(To be continued.)

Yesterday, while a number of workmen were com-
pleting the mansion of the Countess of Buckingham-
shire, in the King's-road, Pimlico, the scaffolding gave
way, and they were precipitated into the area, by
which several limbs were broken, and one poor man
died in the hospital of his bruises.
MANstoN-Housr.—Yesterday the Stewards of a
Society for-the Benefit of Widows, held in the Min°.
ries, were summoned to shew cause why they refused
to pay an annuity to the widow of a deceased mem.'
her. It appeared that the annuity had for some time
been paid, but in consequence of a second marriage it
was stopped. From this second marriage, however,
the complainant stat:d she derived no benefit, inas-
much as her husband had a former wife living ; of
this, however, no legal proof was adduced, and as the
first wife lived in Cornwall, time was allowed to pro-
duce testimony thereof, and the case ordered to stand I
over.

Mary Ann Ware, (father, mother, and son,) J. Fuller,.

dence, confessed the robbery was perpetratt.o by him-
self and the other prisoners ; he was, therefore ordered
to be detained, and the others committed for trial. 1
