CONVERTS TO POMANISM.—It is fully expected that
several of the late converts will seek a return to the bo-
som of the Anglo-Catholic Church. The Rev. Mr. Sib-
thorp has already returned, and is now resident near Win-
chester, anxious to resume active ministerial functions.
The Rev. Charles Seeger also deplores his secession, and
will seek peace of mind in union with the church. His
heart ye erns for participation in ministerial duties, from
which, as a married man, he is debarred in the church of
Rome. Mr. Capes also, like Mr. Sibthorp, went over
too suddenly, flying from one position of zeal and love to
another—he will return. At all events this is apparent,—
that in every case of conversion to Rome there has been
some note of singularity cr irregular haste in the con-
verted.—Globe
THE WATERLOO AND PENINSULAR HEROES.—Two
exquisite paintings, " The Heroes of the Peninsula," and
" The Waterloo Heroes," have been on view during the
past week, at Mr. J. R. Keys Repository, Bold-street,
and have excited considerable attention. They are painted
by J. P. Knight. R.A. ; and whether as historical works
of art, or vivid illustrations of events commemorative of
the glorious victories of our country, they are worthy of a
place in our National Gallery. The Heroes of the Pe-
ninsula is an admirable production, displaying beautifully-
executed portraits of His Grace the Duke of Wellington,
the Right Hon. Sir George Murray, &c. &c., the former
a likeness that at once conveys to the mind all the fine
and manlybearing, yet cool and dispassionate temperament
of England's great defender. Though there are upwards
of thirty portraits in the picture, the grouping is so admi-
rably managed that, wit!. F. w exceptions, ail are prominent
characters; and it is devoid of that jumbling so
often found in paintings in which so many individuals are
sought to be displr.7 2d. The drawing is good, and the
colouring well n ,aged. The glazings are very highly
worked, which c,-1. es the flesh a natural and skin-like ap-
pearance. " The Heroes of Waterloo" is equally talented,
and displays the " Iron Duke" receiving his illustrious
guests at Apslev House, on the anniversary of the glorious
18th of June. This picture also contains upwards of thirty
portraits, and is not only interesting as a congregation of
men so famous and honoured in history, but as a picture in
which the features of every individual represented may be
instantly recognized. The general tone of the painting is
good—the objectionable glare of the scarlet military uni•
form being well subdued, and the lights and shades, which
are effective, beautifully and pleasingly dispersed. The
plates after these pictures will be from the graver of C.C.
Lewis, Esq., and will, we doubt not, rank with the other
meritorious works of that eminent artist. As they will
remain on view a few days, we would advise all lovers of
the art to see them.

LOSSES BY SHIPWRECK.—On this point, the evidence
of Mr. Somes is valuable. He was induced, on account
of the frequent attacks against the mercantile marine, to
make a calculation of the comparative losses in the naval
and merchant services. From the parliamentary returns
he found the men-of-war lost were 1 and 1-10th per cent ;
in the merchant service, they are 2 and 1-10th per cent—
including the coal, coasting and British American trades,
which are peculiarly hazardous. Deducting something
for these, he thinks there will be very little difference at
last between the two services on the average.—Mr. Sharp
on Navigation Institutions at the Outports.
