The ,gratification which was so universally felt
throughout the circles of taste, from the exhibition
of the works of the late Sir JOSPICIA RZYNOLDS, at
the British Gallery, in Pall Mall, have induced the
Directors of this Institution, to endeavour to procure
the toan of the finest specimens from the pencils of
11011RTII, WILSON, and GAINSIIOeOVOII, with II
View to their being exhibited at their Gallery is May
meat.

I.\w A ttItANGEMENTS.-SIT JAMES MANSTIELD
has at length consented to retire from the Chief Jus-
ticeship of the Common Pleas, to *which the Chief
Wilton, Sir % . Claus, succeeds. Sir W.GAanow, on
this remove, becomes Chief Baro6 of the Exche-
cprer ; Serjeant SIIEPIIER» succeeds to the office of
Attorney-General ; rind Mr. Serjeant BEST to that
of Solicitor-General to the KING.
Mrs. MoutrAim, it is said, has declined an en-
gagement at the 11cPum Theatre, for the ensuing
she has, we understand, in consequence of
thi, report, received very liberal propositions from
the Managers of the principal Provincial Theatres.

STANTIAL TOUT'S IN IT TRAM IS, GENESOLILT
Dy POOR NABOSiI, or Pluanwasort.
February Is, 1514.
Two thonsaad three boated and forty years since,
Reigti'd Clwarsas—rt potent and pralse.wortlry Prince,
As neat as my story need tell ;
Ile appointed a person, SYSIONES by name,
To hear sod determine each Litigant's claim, •
With a " !died you determine them well."
STIA3INES. like some of some subsequent DIMS
Disregarding his duty recurred to crimes,
Of corruption and bribery too;
For a man that had money awl many a friend,
Was sure of obtaining his object and end,
Be his character brown, black, or blue.
d Much money meant merit, or much the same thing,"—
Was a maxim SYSAMSGS would oftentimes bring,
To defend a position of wrong;
For foul filthy lucre so full fill'd his mind, •
To intriguing and !merest he always inctio'd,
• . So history says, and my song.
• judging he found, when inspatieat to dine,
•Soup had not the substance of 'animas and wine, • ,
• Inducing at once to assert;
" As theflaintilf was poor and of origin base,
" Such surely applied to the n hole of his CAM ea
Thaspluaging him deeper in dirt. , •
Thus Justice inverted—the Populace arm's', .4
AO demanded io toots that CAmsTsmalattali,
That the Judge should be called to account;
''he praiseworthy Prince promptly gave his perianth,
To make a minute7a most strict Inquisition;

Which resulted in this—the amount:

Of corruption convicted most clearly complete,
•
And of dark. double-dealing, deception, deceit,
And evils enormous beside;
Suspension—frees office and trust did ensue,
And then a suspension in air.--deem'd his due;
So Sirs►nsEs with infamy died.
But ClumvsEs the potent and praise-worthy Mule* •
His abhorrence and anger at once to evince,
Once orders to take off his skin;
Urging—" Flaying for fleecing the poor was but jest,
And might tend to make Judges more two to their trust,
So avoid his sad state and his sin. •
So a butcher and tanner were called to decide,
flow they would advise to dispose of the hide,
Wbo agreed and concerted together:
Their advice was npprov'd by CAIIRTSES the King,
As the bet, the most cogent exemplary thing;
So ►he same was converted to leathe►.
If then (future justice to reader complete)
Stuff'd and nailed on a Lord Chief Jtutiees seat,
Prodoe'd this consoling effect ;
Not an instance oecurr'd fur a cent'ry or more,
Of the rich circumveoting, oppressing the poor,
Not a case they could even suspect.
This lesson we learn—from this terrible Tale, 1
Truth and Justice, tho' tardy, in time will prevail;
But the whole Case, when taken together,
Demonstrates with Truth--clear as EUCLID 111)9 down,
Whole Kingdoms couvuls'd, nwe se SAVED—or a Town—
By a wise application of Leather ! ! !
