ROYAL ACADEMY.

Last night A. CARLISLE, Est. F.R.S. delivered his
third Lecture on the principles of Anatomy, as ap-
plicable to Painting. The Learned Profc•sor alluded
to the interruption which had been occasioned in the
regular delivery of his Course of Lectures, by the
lamented death of the Consort of the Royal Founder
of the Royal Academy, whom he described as the
undeviating example of every virtue which could
adorn her rank, or add lustre to her sex. Alt. CAn-
LISLE had hardly began his Course of Lectures last
year, when the lamented death of her Royal High-
ness the Princess CHARLOTTE occasioned a suspension
of his labours ; and on the resent occasion, his Lec-
tures were nearly three weeks adjourned, owing to
the death of the Quar.x. The Lecture of last night
related entirely to the anatomical arrangement and
conformation of the bones of the human body, which
the Learned Professor pointed out and explained
with his usual accuracy and perspicuity.—The

the Dock-yard. The bell tolled a funeral knell dur-

irg_the greater part of the day.
