Yesterday evening. Mr. Catitasie delivered the in-
troductory Lecture of his Course upon Anatomy, at
the Royal Academy. The Professor principally
dwelt upon the parallel between the Arts and Sciences,
and the mutual illustrations they afford each other,
particularly Anatomy, to the Arts of Design. For
further illustration, he enumerated instances of several
distinguished Literary and Philosophical Characters,
from the time of the Greeks to • the present period,
Who welled in Sculpture and Painting; and to
afford a proof to what insignificancy the :Iris decline,
unless supported by Science. he commented updn
the productions of the Chinese, which are little more
than a mere display of the briltiaat natural colours
of their country, because they are totally ignorant of
Chiato-Scuro and Perspective, two agents which
tore herself has provided to give the proper substance
and distance of objeCts. The attendance was ex-
tremely respectabb?. Several Academicians were
present. Mi. Ft•sru was hi the Chair.
