THE LUCCA COLLECTION. June 5. This collection, minus some few pictures which had been sold privately, was dispersed by Mr. Phillips. The sale went off heavily. For Raffaele's much vaunted"Madonna dei Candelabri " but 1500 guineas were obtained; for his reputed "Creation" but 300. "Christ carrying his Cross," by Del Piombo, was passed at 1000%. "Noli me Tangere," by Barroccio, reached only to 300 guineas. The "Massacre of the Innocents," by Nicholas Poussin, though undoubted and admirable, only 80 guineas. A "Transportation of the Santa Casa," from Jerusalem to Loretto, called a Domenichino, 230 guineas; another, "St. Cecilia attended by Angels," 220 guineas. A "Holy Family," by Perugino, 200 guineas. A "Holy Family," by Del Sarto, 110 guineas. "Christ on the Cross," by Michael Angelo (i. e. Venusti, after Michael's design), 100 guineas; and the "Silence,' by ditto (qualified as before), 160 guineas. A "Sea-piece," by Backhuysen, large and grand, but hard, 470 guineas; another 100 guineas. Two landscapes, by Ruysdael, also large, and with much of his usual merit, 380 and 350 guineas. The "Chaste Susanna," claiming to be by Guido, 145 guineas. "Virgin, Child, and Saints," by Annibal Carracci, 160 guineas. This is one of the four great (i. e. large) Carraccis, rumoured to have been bought with the "Honthorst," for 10,0001. A "Repose in Egypt" having no higher name attached to it than Simone da Pesaro, was knocked down at 115 guineas. Furino's master-piece, "Hylas among the Nymphs," 30 guineas: an offender, it is true, against both moral and artistic decorum, but not worse in either respect than many a Rubens or Rembrandt. A landscape called "The Beckford Claude (something very different from a Lorraine Claude) 350 guineas. An excellent "Winter Scene" by Vanderneer, 135 guineas. "Intemperance," by Jan Steen, 300 guineas. "Christ in the Garden," a brilliant fac-simile of Garofalo, 140 guineas. "Sansovino the Architect," a portrait with the good travelling name of Giorgione, 115 guineas. An Ecce Homo," named as Titian, 50 guineas. A Gaspar Poussin 90. "The Gypsies' March," curious, rare, and admirable for original character, spirited touch, and artistic treatment, by Callot, but 28 guineas! The " Ball Room," by Teniers, 55 guineas.

On the same day were sold at Christie's the works of the late WILLIAM HILTON, R.A. remaining in his hands at his death. The prices, although beneath their value, were deemed by judges good, comparatively with those obtained for the Lucca collection. Comus 215 guineas; Triumph of Amphitrite, 128; Murder of the Innocents 75; The Angel delivering Peter 170. A precious little antique, Francis the First on horseback, 501.

À smaller landscape by the same hand, 275 guineas. A Holy Family, by Carlo Maratti, 200 guineas. On the whole, the prices were not considered high.

Constable, of which a copy was presented to each subscriber.

The committee of the Art-Union of London have failed in their endeavours to

obtain some unpublished plate worthy of the society, and have consequently selected for distribution to the subscribers of 1841, Hilton's beautiful picture of the Return of Una, which is now in the hands of an eminent engraver.

MEDAL OF ADM. SIR CHARLES NAPIER.

PER

MR ALFRED STOTHARD is about to publish a medal of Commodore Sir Charles Napier, K.C.B. representing on one side his portrait, and on the reverse the words FREE TRADE within a wreath of wheatears, round which is the legend " MARE PER TERRAM," in allusion at once to the central inscription, and to the admiral's acts on land in Syria, and in recognizance of the gratitude he owes the Marine corps (whose motto this is), without whom the Turks would not face the more hardy and courageous Egyptians. As an excellent work of British art, this medal is worthy of notice.

MONUMENT IN WESTPHALIA.

A remarkable monumental structure is at present raising, or about to be raised, in that part of Westphalia where Arminius overthrew the Roman legions, commanded by Varus, to commemorate that

event. The monument is to consist of a statue of the German hero, similar to the many images which may still be seen under the name of Ermin Sæulen, in various parts of Germany, and which became, in the early periods of the Christian era, objects of idolatrous worship. The statue is to be of copper, and 42 feet high! and to the point of the uplifted sword, 75 feet! It is to be placed on a circular temple 90 feet in height, on the top of the hill Teut, in the Teutoburger forest. The monument promises to do honour to German art, and the idea of erecting such a work is a proof of the patriotic feeling of the Germans. The expenses are to be defrayed by subscription, and all the Sovereigns of Germany have contributed.

A colossal iron lion has recently been cast by Verseen for the Egmont lighthouse in Holland; it weighs 6000lbs.

June 15. His Royal Highness Prince Albert honoured the Commemoration with his presence. Her Majesty and the Prince had arrived at Nuneham, the seat of his Grace the Archbishop of York, on the previous day. His Royal Highness reached Oxford from Nuneham at ten o'clock, when he was received in the Schools by the Duke of Wellington, in his full robes as Chancellor of the University, and by all the Heads of Houses in their state costume. At half-past ten the procession entered the Theatre (which was crowded in every part) amid the loudest applause. The Chancellor then read a suitable Address to His Royal Highness, which had been agreed to in Convocation, and subsequently handed it to the Royal visitor enclosed in a case of gold. His Royal Highness briefly thanked them for the honour they had conferred upon him. The Public Orator then delivered a complimentary Address in Latin; after which honorary degrees of LL.D. were conferred upon the Dukes of Marlborough and Sutherland, the Earls of Liverpool and Cawdor, Lords Ashley and Prudhoe, Sir John Johnstone, Gen. Sir Edw. Bowater, and John Loveday, esq. High Sheriff of Oxfordshire.

UNIVERSITY OF DURHAM.

At a Convocation holden on Saturday, May 22, the scheme of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England for the further endowment of this University was laid before Convocation, and received the approbation of the house. The scheme is drawn up in pursuance of the intentions and engagements of the late Bishop Van Mildert, and in accordance with the previous resolution of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, to make certain arrangements with respect to the Deanery and Canonries of the Cathedral Church of

Durham, with a view to maintaining the University of Durham in a state of respectability and efficiency. The following are its principal provisions :—

The office of Warden, upon the first vacancy, is to be attached to the Deanery of Durham; the present Warden receiving 5001. annually during his incumbency.

A Canonry in the Cathedral Church is to be attached to each of the Professorships of Divinity and Greek.

The present Professor of Mathematics is to be appointed Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy, with an annual salary

of 7001.

When the office of Warden shall be annexed to the Deanery, the salary of 5001. paid to the present Warden during his incumbency is to be applied to found a Professorship of Hebrew and the other Oriental languages.

In addition to the six Fellowships, already founded by the Dean and Chapter, there are to be founded 18 Fellowships, making 24 such Fellowships in the whole. Two of such 18 Fellowships are to be founded on the 29th day of September, 1841, and the same number in each year until the year 1849 inclusive. Eight only of the 24 Fellows who have exceeded the age of 23 are allowed to continue laymen. The Lay Fellowships are tenable for eight, the clerical for 10 years. They are to be of the annual value of 1201., the 10 senior clerical Fellows receiving 150l. Candidates for Fellowships must have been admitted to the degree of B.A. in the University of Durham, and are to be elected according to the regulations now in force, or such other regulations as shall be duly made for securing the election of the most meritorious candidate, regard being always had to moral character as well as to learning. The Fellowships are to be vacated by marriage or ecclesiastical preferment.

Towards providing the funds for making these payments, all the estate and interest now vested in the Ecclesiastical Commissioners in the lands, &c. formerly assigned to the Deanery and to the 11th Canonry of the Cathedral Church of Durham (all tithes being excepted), are to be vested in the Warden, Masters, and Scholars of the University of Durham; and when it shall become necessary, further provision is to be made for granting such additional endowment as may appear to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners necessary for making up the deficiency.
