Leon, on a journey to Rome last year, was received most affectionately by the family of Buonaparte.

CROSBY HALL.-We are happy to announce that a meeting was held, May 8th, at the City of London Tavern, W. T. Copeland, Esq. M. P. and Alderman, in the Chair, to consider the best means for preserving and restoring that beautiful specimen of domestic architecture, Crosby Hall, and to appropriate it, when restored, to some useful public object. A Committee was formed (of which Octavius Wigram, Esq. was appointed Treasurer, and S. J. Capper, Esq. Hon. Sec.) and several subscriptions were entered into (see p. 424). A monument to the memory of Sir William Wilson, the sculptor employed at Nottingham Castle (see our Nov. magazine, p. 325), still remains in the church of Sutton Coldfield, in Warwickshire, near Birmingham. The following is the inscription, by which it will be seen that his wife, whom Deering erroneously called "a Leicestershire widow lady, the Lady Putsey," was not him a Lady by title before she got knighted," but the widow of Henry Pudsey, esq. of Langley Hall in the parish of Sutton Coldfield :-"Near this place lieth the body of Sr William Wilson, Knight, interred here by his own desire. He was born at Leicester; but after his marriage with his wellbeloved lady, Jane relict of Henry Pudsy, Esq. he lived many years in this parish, where he also died the 3d day of June 1710, in the 70th year of his age, and generally beloved, and very much and no less deservedly lamented; being a person of great ingenuity, singular integrity, unaffected piety, and very fruitful in good works-the only issue he left behind him. Aut tumulis flamma, aut imber subducet honores, Excidet Artifici: stat sine morte decus. A Plan has been proposed to Government by Wm. Bardwell, esq. architect, for improvements in Westminster, on a most extended scale, which, if executed, would have the effect of raising a new city on S.W. side of the metropolis. The grand features of the plan are first, a street 4,700 feet long, and 100 feet broad, from the Abbey to Grosvenor-place; three squares, each 800 feet long, and 100 broad; and a crescent opening into the Park. The houses of Stafford-row and James-street being all swept away, an extensive circle is struck around Buckingham-palace, the periphery of which circle is planted with quadruple rows of trees. The whole of the squares and new street to be raised three or four feet above the present level, and thus secure the important advantage of good drainage; the want of which now renders this district a horrible nuisance. The houses to be all fire-proof, and have flat roofs finished with a balustrade, forming an agreeable and useful promenade. The National Gallery presents a façade 710 feet long (half the length of the Louvre Gallery), composed of a grand diastyle twelvecolumned portico, with wings separated from each other by intervals, decorated with rich niches containing statues of professors of the sister arts. The centre is surmounted by an attic supported by caryatides, and crowned with a lofty cupola. The whole of this superstructure is raised upon a rustic basement of arches, which are filled in with glass, forming shops and dwellings, the rents of which it is presumed will return an interest upon the outlay: so that in fact a National Gallery upon this plan may be built and maintained without expense to the country. A CORRESPONDENT observes-"It has fallen in my way lately to hear several recently ordained Clergymen read the Lord's Prayer, the Apostles' and Nicene Symbols, with a degree of inattention which surprises me, knowing that all of them, except one, are graduates of Oxford or Cambridge. They read Μη εις πειρασμον, instead of μη εισενέγκης ; and lay an improper stress on the substantive verb, as if it were emphatic in the original, where it does not occur at all, being supplied only by the English idiom, Rose again,' as if he had risen before; Come again,' as if he had never come before. sov Ex eov, as if Θεον Θεου-and δι' όν in immediate connec tion with Пargi, as if that, and not Kupiov, were its antecedent. A moment's glance at the Greek would surely prevent such inaccuracies, through which, in the two last instances, the doctrine is entirely lost." In answer to INVESTIGATOR (p. 290), a Correspondent states that "the present Stuart of Tillicultrie is the third Baronet. He married a widow lady of the name of M'Lachlan, of the island of Jamaica. I do not know whether he has sons or not. He is a very old man. He was not the son of the 2d Baronet, who married Miss Calderwood of Polton; but rather, I believe, the son of Hugh or James, sons of the 1st Baronet. [Further information is requested.] There is a little inaccuracy in our review of Mr. Tate's Horatius Restitutus, p. 416, respecting the MSS.-Bentley, whom he quotes, p. iii. notices the different position of the Ars Poetica in some MSS. but no instance is given of such an inversion of the other works of Horace as the first cited D'Orvillian MS. presents. The profiles of an African Prince and European Princess, of which a drawing was communicated by X. N. are probably cast from an antique gem. It is certainly not a medal but, without seeing it, it is difficult to say more. |
