Among the most interesting works in the place are the models for the national monuments to the memory of Nelson, the greatest of our naval heroes, and William Pitt, the first of our orators. These models have been submitted to the Committee of Taste, appointed by Government to select the best specimen of genius, and most calculated to do honour to the illus- scapes.-Mr. S. Woodforde has six trious dead. Among these and other models of a similar kind are admirable proofs of the talents of Bacon, Flaxman, Nollekens, and other artists.

Among the artists belonging to the Royal Academy who have this year sent paintings to the British Institution, the President, Benjamin West, Esq. has two; the first, The Cruci fixion of our Saviour, and the second, The Ascension of Christ. Mr. Copley, besides the picture already mentioned, has another, A Youth rescued from a Shark in the Harbour of the Havanna. Mr. T. Daniell has four views of places in the East Indies, viz.

Besides the above, there are pictures by various other members of the Academy, as Howard, Bone, Reinagle, Hone, Nixon, Sir Wm. Beechey, and Rigaud.

The number of pictures amounts to 310.

Jan. 24. A new ship, named the Valiant, of 74 guns, was launched at Perry's Dock, Blackwall. Her head is ornamented with the bust of a naval officer in uniform, and the stern is decorated with figures and trophies.

Feb. 23.-The two men, John Holloway and Owen Haggerty, convicted of the murder of Mr. Steele, lavender distiller, of Catherine-street, in the Strand, were executed in the Old Bailey. This murder was committed so long back as the 6th of November, 1802. Various persons have been apprehended, at different times, on suspicion of the above murder, but no direct evidence appearing against them they were discharged. It was at length brought to light, through the means of one of the party concerned, of the name of Benjamin Hanfield, who, a considerable time subsequent to the murder, was convicted at the Old Bailey of grand larceny, and sentenced to seven years transportation. He was conveyed on board a hulk at Woolwich, to await

We proceeded from thence upon the road towards Bedfont, and expressed our hope that we should get a good booty. stopped near the eleventh mile-stone, and secreted ourselves in a clump of trees; while there the moon got up, and Holloway said we had come too soon.
