INTERESTING DiSCOVRRY.-A letter from Rome
states that two paintit.gs had just been discovered in that
city, one of which is supposed to•be the work of Michael
Angelo, and the other of Raphael—the first represented
Christ h• ing laid in the sepulchre, end the other was a
p"rtrai of the celebra•esl Cardinal drl Monte, which re-
sembled exactly the one painted by Raphael of the same
Cardinal in the cattoons of the Vatican, representicg the
institution of the canon law. They were bought amongst
a number of old pa'nt,ngs, that by 'Mit•hael Angelo was
purchased by Mr. Maceaul, a young artist from Scotland,
and the portrait by Raphael by M. Cardeni, a pictnre
dealer. On the hack of the frame of Buonarotti's paint-
ing was a small tin plate stamped with the arms of the fa-
mily of the Farnesi.

JUDG Ete PERQUISITES.—Lord Ellenbornush died pos.
Besse,' of ample wealth. wealth, whieb has been computr d
to amount to £240.000. So monrficent a fortune may be
easily accounted for. There were three offices of very
considerable-value at.the disposal of the Chief Justice of
the King's Bench ; those of the Chief Clerk, the Cnstos
Brevium, and Clerk of the Outlaw ries. The sale of these
offices is now most fitly abolished, as inconsistent with
the digni y and independence of t`,e judicial station.
Luckily for Lnrd Ellenborough, two of these places fell
vacant shortly after his appointment. Ile refused
.{130.000, which was ffrred for the disposal of the Chief
Clerkship; and until his.nnwas of age to receive it,added

its amont.t. which was .£7OlO a-vear, to Ins own saltiry ;
realiziog thus an income of £16,0+.0, a SIMI considerably
larger than aaa enj•ned by tho,e who immediately pre-
ceded and puma-Ile,' him. It equalled, nay, in some
year.. ex..eeded, that of the Lord Chancellor, and jlsti-
fled, even in a worldly sen,e. the s-mgacity of the learned
Lord's derision, when in 1g.:6 he refuted the seals.—

THE NEW COURTS OF I AW AND THEIR NEIGHBOUR
THE W HALE.--When visiting this beautiful boiling, the
other day, his Royal Highness Prince Albert was observed
to be particula ly struck with the good taste displayed by
the Corporation. in permitting the showman's booth,
containing the enormous whale measuring 26 ft. long,"
to occupy a position in such immediate contiguity. One
of his suite suag,sied that the fish was typicA of the
building, which had swallows d up the Corporation reve-
nue at an awful rate. PUNCH remarked that it might
refer to the architect's original estimate, which had turned
out "very like a whale". Whil,t looking at the west
front from St. John's-lane, the Prince was observed to
hold his handkerchief to his itose. On being told, how-
ever, that the smell he exp-rienced was only that of the
Corporation midden, behind the Fish-hall, his Royal
Highness laugh.-d goodiruniouredly at his error, and
replaced the cambric, in his pocket, remarking that he
thought it was something worse.

ROBBERY, IN LIVERPOOL, OF UPWARDS OF
300 BARRELS OF AMERICAN FLOUR.

On Saturday a middle-aged man, of respectable exte-
rior, named John Nicol, was brought before Mr. Rush-
ton, at the Police-court, on a charge of having robbed
Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. i 4 337 barrels of Ame-
rican flour, worth upwards of £460. 'f ne case excited
very considerable interest, but was not investigated at any
length, as the principal portion of the plunder is at t.re-
sent in Dublin, and will have hereafrr r to be identified.
The prisoner was defended by Mr. Wardle.
Police-officer Tuck deposed, that, having received in-
structions from Mr. Superintendent Brown, on Thurs-
day, to proceed to the Waterloo Dock and to watch what
might be going forward, he observed a cart, with twelve
barrels of flour, pass through the gates. 'He followed it
along St. larnesie-street, and when it reached the shop
of Mr. Stevens, baker, Great George-place, and was
about to deposit the load there, he prevented the cart man
from doing so. and, leading the horse back to t. 4h-street,
he had the twelve barrels left at the Central POlice-sta-
Lion, whete they still rern.t n.

Constable I-ltd.:rill said, that, hearing of the robbery,
he went in nursnit of the prisoner, arid, after following
him Ihrou,h a great portion of the town, took him into
co-rod y.

John Mallaflew, warehou.eman to Baring Brothers and
Co., stated, that 1286 barrels of flour nad,been consigned
to that firm by a New York house, and that it had lat,ly
strived at Liverpool by the Independence. Witness
placed the prisoner in charge, and told his to see that
the b4rrels were properly taken care of as they were
landed; bot, on going down to the vessel on Thursday
aftertri, n, he was surprised to And that the nri!,oner was

from the City of Deilin Company for a qn intitv of fitur
shipped by one of their vessels. On reaching the City of

in the B►ithnnta for Dublin.; that they were shipped in
the name of Wilbur) Hetling, and consiened to Mr. J.
Robinson. of Dublin. it would sipper that 300 hhErels
were to have been sent by the prisoner in the Britannia,
for twenty-nine hairels were lying upiin the quay atter the
shipment of the 281. and these twenty-nine the witness
was in a p•'s Lion to identify as the property of his em-
ployers. W►tness immeniairly proceeded to Dublin and
took possession of the 281 barrels there; hut, from tke
sti.rtness of his stay. he was unable, without a further
investigation, to identify them Ile w-

Was. however, in-
formed by Mr Rol/neon, that that gentleman had not
been advised prior to its arrival of the shipment of any
flour at Lw-ruool for his account.

Officer Tuck here informed the court that he had found
fire barrels of the flour at the btu))) of ➢lr. Williams,
baker.

Mr. Williams. baker, of StAnhope-street. said, that on
Thursday afternoon a load of flour, cotisiating of twenty-
five barrels, was brought to his door. As he bad not or-
dered any. he went to the door to inquire who had sent
them. tie found that they were brought in a cart, and
that the prisoner accompanied it. He informed the pris-
oner that there was no mom in his store for so large a
.qualdi,y, and the prisoner arked him whether he had

• • -
room for any ? Witness replii d that lie thought he cnu►d
stow away five barrels, and five were accordingly lift on
the premises. These wet e the five found by officer Tuck.
The other twenty barrels were taken to a shop In an ad-
isceat srreer, bur, as be refused to have anything to do
with them, they were conveyed away elsewhere, and bad
not been traced..
Mr. Melladew ident!fied the five berrels found at Wil-
liams's as part of his employers' property.
Mr. Thomas Stevens. baker, of 29, Great George's-
place. slated, thtt on Thurs.(' y afternoon the prisoner
came to tats shop and told him that the mate of an Ame-
rican vessel bad brought over two hundred barrels if flour
on his own account. and that he wish, d to have then, con-
verted into cash. The prisoner added shat he lisd bought
it at the rate of a guinea a barrel, and that Oct r and above
that amount was to be for himself. V 1 itness asremi to
