British Institution . —This fine exhibition has just closed . Besides many noble works of Murillo , Poussin , Vandyke , and others , it contained several of the most exquisite landscapes of Claude , fully answerable to the matchless criticism of Hazlitt : — " His trees are perfectly beautiful ,
but quite immoveable ; they have a look of enchantment . In short , his landscapes are unequalled imitations of nature , released from its subjection to the elements , —as if all objects were become a delightful fairy vision , and the eye had rarified and refined away the other senses , ' Something' of a similar kind , but applied to the human form , may be said of the large altar-piece by Guido . The figures are the most enchanting idealisms of nature , the very personification of all the sweetness and sacredness of pure and impassioned religion . The collection contains many unrivalled studies ; but artists are not to be allowed to copy them this year I R . H . H .

A press of matter obliges us to postpone the article on Sir John Eliot ' s * Monarchic of Man . ' Some offence has been taken , we hear , at a certain uncomplimentary allusion to Sir Walter Scott and Mr Proctor , contained in the review of Forster ' s * Eminent British Statesmen / Surely it was sufficiently apparent that we only spoke of them as biographers , L e . " of their element . " " The British Auxiliary Legion " came too late .
The author of the " Circulating Medium , has not seen our last Number . Argus is not very right in objecting to the brevity of many of our articles . He little knows the difficulty of keeping much meaning within few words , and ought to learn . Possibly we are too concise for those
wlio read only with their eye-sight . Words are cheap enough ; we want thoughts . Tne Hudibrastic u Flagellation" is mighty ticklesome ; but the length of the "birch compels us to decline . May we use a part ? We shall take the best—subject to a little modification ? The " Translator of ' Hector Fieramosca ' " has our best thanks .
Mr Jacob Jones should forward his Advertisements to the publisher . We have nothing to do with that department . We have received the newspaper from Hobart Town , and are much pleased with it . We wish the " Tasmanian Register " all the success it deserves . The announcement that " it will not be devoted to long-,
dull , and prosy articles , which prevent nineteen out of twenty persons from reading , " is a p ropos to our previous notice . The folks of Sidney , New Zealand , and Van Dieman ' s Land , are not so stupid . G . G . and the Ex-Moonshee must settle it between them . Is not
Xx . G . aware that Prince Moulti is superseded , and that the new ambassador from the King of Oude wab presented at Court on the 19 th of last month ? Prince Moulti has been continually to the India House ; concerning the presents , no doubt , which he gave to the wrong person ; but the Honourable Company will have nothing to do with him . Still , we trust he may not fare so hard on his return , as humourously hinted in " The Royal Suitors . "
