A second visit to the eshibition at this place justifies tbe opinion we at first formedT of it, with regard to its general inferiority to most that have lately preceded it. A closer inspection, bowever, while it has in many cases strenFthened our former k-nowledge of its defects, has also made us acquainted with several little works which deserve to be recommnended to notice It is indeed impossible, amidst the variety and glare of a modern exhibitionjoom, to observe on a sin- gle visitlaU that is worthy ofnotice, andwe dare say that there are still several pictutes of merit which a variety of circumstances may have prevented us from remarking. Among otber clever things we ob. ser*ed, No. 303, " Pack carry'Ig the Ass's head to place it on Bot- ,azs siwulders," by B. R Haydon, which is a spirited picture, and executed in a verypowerful style. The arch humourot Puck's expression is eminently successful, and there is an admirable buoyancy 'of effect in his figuze which actuallv seems to glide through the air. No. 169, " The ioreer of usiuc;" by T. S. Good, is remarkable for its day-light effect, and for the careful execution and natural appearance of eyerv part of the picture. No. 186, " Thc Zale of.Eveshaas," by inm. Lmnton, is a pleasing representation of a very beautiful scene. N'o. 244, " Thue Social Pinch1," and No. 2S3 " The yountg Boat-builders," by A. Fraser, are highly creditabie to theta~lents of an artsttwith whose name we were not hi- therto acquainted. A strict attention to nature in character and ex- pression, a modest sobriety of colour, and a very clever management both of composition and eff'ect. distingnish these performances. No. 255, which is misnamed in'the catWlogue, a "1 View at Torres Nrovas," is a clever representatior of the romanticaUr situated and picturesque little town of Cintra, in Portugal, famous for the conven- tion-concluded with General Junot: the execution of this picture does great credit to fflr.. R. Landaser's pencil. No. 296, "Bar- nrby and the Puritan," by Edward rrentis, ice a very droll and numorous composition, and' Is an extremely promising spedmen of the talents ef the artist, whose name is also new to us. The fe of the " Puritan"'one who is seen Hangjin of his cat on hMonday " For killng of a mouse on Sundy"- .' is highly characteristsc. . BRITISH GALLERY, PALL-MALL.

We lately reported the case of a person wvho allegedl he bad been robbed of 1,300 sovereigns in a liouse in this towni, and that a gentleman, w4ho happened to be in the house en passaea.at the time, and unfortunately for him, in his haste to join the coach, put his "leg iato the wrong bear," was suspected, and brought back from London to Liverpool, instead of proceeding to Paric. His in- nocence was, however, completely established, and the person sup- pesed to have been robbed naid his exipenses. We now learn, that afthe the most active ana extensive inquiry by the police, they hgve not been able to trace any property to the possession of the sup. posed sufterer to justify him in making such a charge of robberey-' LiverpooZ dvcrfliser.

We have received an account of a Fox Dinner given at Glasgow on Saturday last, for which we regret that we cannot find roomi amidst the pressure of matter which must be got rid of before the session of Parliament. The respect paid eyery where to the memory of this distinguish- ed statesman, for so long a period after his death, is a most remarkable circumstanCe. It may be said that Mr. PITT'S memory is celebrated for aa equally long, or rather a longer time, and with equal arclour. True: but who are those that celebrate Mr. PrITr's memory ? MIen, chiefly, whom he called from obscurity, and enriched with the public mo- ney. It would be absolute baseness in them to forget the father of their fortunes; though many of them did forget him during the short period- when the power of be- stowing places and pensions was transferred- to another; and such men were, no doubt, base enough. Among the great numbers wvho meet to celebrate annually, wvith: considerable trouble and at some expense, the atnniver- sary of Mlr. Fox's birth-bay, it may be said roundly- for the exceptions are so few as not to. be worth noticing- that none have ever been benefitted by his patronaie, for he hatl notlhing to bestow; and even hope itself must have expired with him. So that his admirers must meet from pure loyalty to his memory (if we may use the expression), and love of his ptihciples. Such is the diffcrence botween the followers of Mr. PITT and Mr. Fox, that many of the former deserted their patron even in his life-time, when he was bercft of the power of repaying them for their sordid services: the latter have adhered to a chief who, wh.ether living or dying, could impart to them nothing b-t his opinions ' opinions, also, which those who embrace them are never lilkely to turn to any great personal account.

Levy Hyams was indicted for selling counterfeit silver money. It appeared that Armstrong, and other officers of Worship-street office, baving information that the prisoner was dealing in counter- feit coin, they sent on the 23d of Derember two persons (Trotman and Goodluck) to the prisoner's lodgings,in Marlborough-court,Pet_ ticoat.lane, (having previously marked 5 shillings given to them,) to purchase counterfeit silver money. They introduced themselves by mentioning the name of aperson who had been a customer to the pri-. soner, and were supplied with 10 shillings, 16 sixpences, and a half- crown, allcountarfetmoney. On the two men coming out and giving the signal agreed upon, the offlcers went up and took the pri- soner.

HUNTERTAN ORATION.-" It is to he observed," said Mlr. Cline, in the Hunteriari Oration delivered at the Royal Col. 3ege ef Surgeons on Saturday, the 14th inst., " that John Huniter did not begin to deliver his lectures until he was 47 years of' age, having been 27 years employed in preparing the materials of the course. Extraordinary as it may appear, his professional reputation was so inconsiderable at this time, that although he issuedl adver- tisements to give a public course of lectures, the number of pupils who assembled at that first course did not amount to twenty. Of that munber he who has now the honour of addressing; ou was one. 1 had the happiness of hearinn the first course oa lectures which he dlelivered. I had been at that time for some years in the profession, and was tolerably well acquainted with the opinions held by the surgeons then residing in the metropolis who were most dis. tinguished for their talents; but hbaing heard Alr. Bunter's lectures on the subject of disease, I found them so far superior to every thing I hadl conceived or heard before, that there seemed no con;parison hetveen the great mind of the man who delivered them, and all the individuals, whether ancient or modern, who had ever gone before him; for although the profession of surgery bas been cultivated more than 2,000 years, this single individual has probably done more towards establishing surgery as a science, than all who preceded him. The complete revolution produced in the minds of profes- sional men bh the discoveries which the great mind of Hunter was capable of effecting, sffords one of the strongest proofs of his title to the character of a man of genius. The distinguishiing cha- racteristic of his mind was undoubteily enthusiasm-it was the enthusiasm of genius which prompted himn to apply bis mind with so mutchardour to the pursuits whicl led to theseiamportzent disco- veries. In these pursuits he was engaged etarly and late, to the last day'of his life. He died at the age of6& aad thcse uninterruted exertions were continued, therefore,during xperiodof45 years.

In answer to a question put last night in the House of Lords by Lord GuosvENon, LorA LIvERPOOL stated that the new appointment of K-ing's Remembrancer of the Ex- chequer was merely temporary, till the Treasury could agree upon the best means of carrying into effect the re- commendation of the Parliamentary Committees for tlie regulation of that office. As the word " eternal," in the language of young ladies, means, according to FIELDING, a duration of. a few days or hours; so "temporary," in Ministerial parlance, is used to comprehend any given lime.' We hlave a strong suspicion, that but for the late notice taken of this appointrnent, "1 temporary" -would have been un.drstood in its largest andmost extended sense.

Upou this case beinsr called to-day (tor tFie pariculars ot wtlclt &ee The itese of the 14th inst.) SirCRttsTOPUElt ROBINTSOSt said. that thaugh the Court liad no doubrof ita power to sequestrate the profits and income of a liv. inc, it could not with as little hiesitation determine that it was cm- powered so to sequestrate, with a view to provide for the service of the cure pendings thesuspr-nson of the incumbent. It would not at presert determine any tbiag on tlis point, which would beofgreat im- Tpotnce if ftrthercontendea tor. But the present case was exceedingly pecuxiar in ull its circamstancea. In a ca se of office instituted in this court, Dr. Clarke had been condemned in costs; and a moni- tion had been grsnted against him for thleir payment. With that nonition he hid refuised to comply, and had been pronounced con- ar acimou. The parties by whom the Judge's office had been pro- moted, now prayed the sequestration by way of security for their cocts. The origin of this debt. therefore, was dearly of a personal character; and as there were other an,d more direct means of enforec. it t its pavment, this Court did not think it necessary on the pre- seat ocntstofn to excrcise its jurisdiction ill the matter, though it might hereafter be disposed to direct (as we understrod) the seques- tration as for tbe provision 4o be rnade for the officiating curate daring the term of the inciumbents suspe:tlon. Dr. IUsnSaNGToN hoped that on a future day the Court Would permit him to wrgue that the costs were uncidental to the sequestra. tion; and that a sentence ot that nature included themn. Dr. SWABEY suggVested that Dr. Clarke should have notice to at. tend in Court again, next term. This was ordered, alid the matter stauds over. CONSISTORY COURT, FfR Dky, FEB. 20.
