There is now on view at Mr. Grundy's repository. Church-
street, a picture painted by the late Sir David Wilkie, ex-
l'ibiting a style of mastery equal to any of his previous
achievements, though its existence was known only to his
friends, namely "The School,', or more properly, we
should say "The Village School." For upward of
twenty years he had this picture in his studio; and front
time to time, and in his happiest moments of conception,
added to it., con amore, some new iecident or telling

nurchased• for £756, and was afterwards bought by Mr.
Moon, for a thousand guineas. A lady suggested to
Wilkie the idea of " The School," and he gave it " a local
I):.l3:tation" in his native county—Fleshire. The "in-
terior" of the room, though not entirely filled up in
details, is in admirable perspective, with an open roof in
the old fashioned style, rudely approaching to the Gothic,
and the perspective of the groups below is equally
effective when viewed from a proper point. The school
is one in which boys and girls are educated together, and
this gives a pleasing variety to the scene. The room is
lighted by but one window at the further end, partly
curtained, and the children are disposed in various groups
tiarinonizaag into a whole. One class (boys and girls)
are on their legs, with book in hand, saying their les-ons,
in various attitudes, and variously inclined, from the
studious to the careless, while one boy is with extended
mouth bawling from his book. The. Dornin ie is seated
in his elevated seat, and his contour is peculiarly charac-
teristic. From his countenance, disturbed from his
hearing of the class before him by a scene of mischief at
the other end of the room, one might imagine that he was
one of those of whom it milk be said,—
Fail well the boding tremblers learned to trace
The day's di aster in his morning face.
Yet he is eviden ly a kind and indulgent man at the bot-
tom, or at least no very well. pract.s ed disciplinarian, for
he his a pet little fellow between his knees, and the frolic
and mischief at the other end amongst the writers and
cypherers, and other incidentals, show that his scholars
have frequently practised mutual annoyance with inipuni-
ty. The most rampant of the urchins are at, or about, a
desk. One has blotted another's copy-book ; two others
are alloying a lad who is doing his best of a fine hairstroke,
the one by nudging his elbow, while the other is tickling
his ear with the feather end of a quill. There are numer.
ous other incidents throughout, full of humour and ef-
feet,—rmongst them a group amusing themselves with
the play of cat's cradle, the immediate performer
in which is an arch little old-fashioned girl, who
has threaded the mazes of the first form on her hands;
also a group at the fire-place behind them, where a boy is
blowing a red hot stick which he has lighted, probably to
make caricatures of the worthy master on the walls when
he had found an opportunity. In fine, the whole picture
is full of life in its varied juvenile tendencies as exhibited
in such a place ; the costumes and countenances are
varied and characteristic, and a breadth of hun our runs
through the whole, at once easy and even graceful, and
equally removed from affectation and coarseness. Wilkie
has, in fact, " held the mirror up to nature." The more
finished parts are truly admirable, especially some groups
in the foreground, and a distant view of the village church
seen through the window. These had the painter lived,
would not in all probability scarcely have been retouched.
A copy of the picture is about to be pubished as engraving,
to be executed by Burnett, himself a painter, and the in-
timate friend of Wilkie, whose " Chelsea Pensioners" he
engraved, and aa a companion to it his own scarcely less
admired painting of the " Greenwich Pensioners," read-
ing the gazette of the Battle of Waterloo. The engraving
is already in a forward state ; is in the finest line style of
the, art ; and will, we doubt not, become a national acqui-
sition. Mr. Grundy has also at his rooms a number of
sketches and water-colour drawings of the lately deceased
Sir Augustus Calcott, all of them first-rite works of art,
and characterized by the softness and repose that distill-
push the works of that celebrated master.

CHARGE OF ABSTRACTING AND APPROPRIATING
MONEY FROM A LETTER.—At the police-court, yester-
day, a youth named Thomas Henry Houghton, was
charged midi stealing a £5O note from a letter addressed
to onf. of his employers, and received by the prisoner at
the posy-office. Mr. Dowling conducted the case againA
him. Mr. Richard Dunderdale, of Bolton, said that he
did business with Messrs. Atkin and Rider, and sent to
them on the 27th of May last a £5O Bank of England note
(No 31,977.) enclosed in a letter. and addressed to. Mr.
samuel Rider, G 2 Castle-street, also in the same letter a
£lO note. He gave the dates of both. A youth in the
service of the last witness said that he took the letter to
the post-office, and put it into the too-late hex. Mr.
Hawley, a clerk in the Liverpool post-office, s,id that
a letter prated from Bolton by the too-late mail
would inc'riably reach this town next day, by way
of Manchester, from which there were six posts a day.
He recognized the prisoner as coming tor Messrs.
Atkin and Rider's letters. They had a box at the
post-office into which the letters addressed to the firm or
to the individuals forming it were put. lie produced a £5O
bank-note, now cancelled, but showing the nun. ber. &c.,
of the missing note. Mr. Rider (Atkins and Rider) said
the prisoner was in their employ, and was in the habit of
going for them to the post-office every day. He (wit-
ness) did not receive the letter from Mr. Dunderdale
dated 27th May, nor did he expect a remittance from
him. Mr. Norris, of the Custom House, sal dhe re-
ceived on the luth July instant, from the prioncr, the
sum f £ll5 11 s 6d,—namely, five £5 notes, one £5O
note, a bank-post bill for £25, and £l6 lls 6,1 in other
moneys. He handed the notes over to the person Rho
records them. Mr. Marcus M'Oaland, recorder of notes
to Mr. Norris, said it was his business to take the parti-
culirs of the notes and the names of the pirties from
whom they were received. He showed his book in which
he had recorded the £5O note received on the 10th July.
Mr. Rider being recalled, read a memorandum on the
tHck of the note to the effect that " it was got f, om
stranger at the Customs," and which he said
was in the
handwriting of the prisoner. John Sale, a police•officer,
said that he had apprehended the prisoner at Holyhead on
the 24th instant. He cautioned him in the usual way
and he said nothing then. Next day when at a village on
the way to this town prisoner expressed a wish to speak
to him privately, and he took him into the garden behind,
when he (prisoner) said that "bad company had been the
cause of all this; that some of the money was concealed
in a bed at his father's house in Liverpool—he thought
about £4O; that on examining the bed it would be found
that at one corner it had been sewed up with white thread,
and that money would be found in a black glove. He
(witness) searched accordingly, and found notes to the
amount of £35. The prisoner declined to ask the wit-
nesses any questions, or to make any remark. He was
committed to take his trial at the assizes,
