ROYAL ACADEMY.

Ftaxstast delivered his such and concluding
Lecture on Sculpture yesterday ceasing.
The subject was the climax of euellente, in which
the Artist summed up all his powers and genius.—
This exCellence attained the highest pitch in Greece in
the days of Phichas. Bet when the Greeks were
conquered, they no longer were able to build and de-
corate superb temples with the riches of their enemies.
akt this rinse there were produced the beautiful pieces
of scolliffiffot the Destructive of Niobe's Childten
end thiMeath of Priam's Family, lltc. by Greeks,
when esbployed by the Romans, while the produc-
tions of the latter were rude and barbarous, and the
subjects cruel and inhornan. With respect to com-
positions there should be one centre to which all parts
should relate eider by corniced= or otherwise.
The Professor commented on the different charac-
ters of the muscles in the exprasion of the passions
as the acuteness In violent emotions, and the beautiful
circular and easy appearance in the softer affections.
It might generally be observed. that two curves,
either plated together in the same inclination, or di-
rectly opposite Inclinations, produced discord and op-
position, but when united. caused that harmony,
called by HOOARTM the line of beauty. Various
beautiful specimens were then exhibited, in exempli-
fication of the elements of lines and composition,
after which, Mr. FLAXMAN displayed prints of the
SAM sublime compositions, produced by tht soul of
Stan, those of ANGELO and RUMENS. Here the spec-
tator is astonished with the tremendous Fan of A,o-
gels I distracted, overwhelmed. terrified with the con-
fusion, the disorder, the horror, the dismay, of infer-
nal numbers, thunderstruck, and mingled in clouds
of sulphureous smoke.
Tbe Ruasses Fall of the Angels might claim the
preference (in comparison with ANGELO'S ran Judg-
ment) in the composition, and the disposition of
masses t yet the work of Angelo, certainly upon the
whole was the superior, on account of the gradations
of sentiment expressed in it.

Yesterday the Duke of OttLamm paid his respects
to the PRINCZ Rama. at Carlton-House and the
Duchess of Yentas, at York House. The Duke and
Duchess of OEILICANS are about to leave England to
reside in France, the King of FRANCK having pre-
noted the DUKZ with a splendid mansion-house,
about four miles from Paris, at his late visit to the
Kato, which the DUKE accepted ; and at the solici-
tation of his Majesty, promised to reside there, to
which the Royal Duchess readily assented, and the
whole of the family and estaislislitnent ate expected
to leave England by the Sth of April, including his
Highness's horses, cows, and even dogs. The Duart'S

Tuesday night last, about half past ten o'clock, a
large barn, with a stable adjoining, situate in the
fields betwixt the villages of Old Dalby and Wil-
leoghby, in Leicestershire, and in the occupa-
tion of Mr. Jelling:, a respectable farmer, of the for•
'tier village, was totally destroyed by fire, together
with about five"or six quarters of unthrashed wheat,
nearly the same quantity of nothrashed oats, which
happened to be in the barn, and the gearing for four
horses, which hung up in the stable, •besides sense
cow cribs and farming implements, which were in
and about the buildings. There is too moth reason '
for believing the conflagration to have been occa-
sioned by some wicked incendiary.

the Insolvetes station in life and business set forth

that of a mill-wrigbt. The insolvent, in his marina-
lion, stated that he was bora in America, and reared
to the business of a mill-aright; be never practliecti
this trade in England i his general occupation hereisaft
in tbeUsanufacture of soap, and be sometimes worked
as a evarciwasisr. This variety of occupation was
jug as occasion required. Mr. Batutv's objection

img bit proper trade or trades in tbis country. He
