An ancient City, by Moonlight.- There is one point which it would be gratifying that any one of them took an opportunity to explain we allude to the sending abroad, and supporting in their studies, such young men as afford evidence of abilities likely to be cultivated to the honour of their profession and native land. We have not recently heard of any such appointments; and yet they form a very prominent feature in the purposes for which the Royal Academy was founded. It would hardly have been imagined in the commencement of British Art, that a union of the Flemish school with the characteristic humour of Hogarth, should have been found in the pencil of any single artist. Yet so it is, and the picture of Mr. Wilkie will bear us out in this remark, by the varied and confirmed talent which it exhibits. It is difficult to imagine a subject in which character and expression, costume, scenery, and accessories, could have found a field of more ample scope for a play of the picturesque.

The British Institution-Canova and the Arts of Italy-the Memory of the Artists of Greece-Mr. Shee and the union of Poetry and Painting-and other appropriate sentiments, were honoured with vinous libations. Mr. Balmanno, the Honorary Secretary, prefaced the reading of the subscription list, amounting to above 4007., with some remarks which seemed to us to go further into detail than was absolutely needful; but this gentleman has been from first to last so zealous a friend to the Fund, and has done so much to promote its interests, that even in questioning his judgment on this point, we must applaud his intention.

In rivalry to the theatres of the out-skirts, a melo-dramatic thing, called Montoni or the Phantoin, was brought out at Covent Garden on Wednesday. The public seems to have come over pretty generally to our opinion, and to be tired of these senseless exhibitions, which assuredly fulfil no one of the purposes of the stage, for they neither reflect the manners of the age, nor improve the morals of the people. As this draina experienced the reception it deserved, we shall not waste our readers' patience, by recording the virtues and vices of the defunct. Suffice it, that not even the powerful art of Macready, aided by the gentlemanly vigour and discrimination of Abbott, the sidelong glances of Miss Foote, and the clever though unfinished acting of Yates, could avert the doom of Montoni. A new tragedy, on a subject of Roman history, has been accepted, and is forthcoming at Covent Garden. We hear a very favourable account of it as a spirited production, and one possessed of high dramatic qualities, from a literary friend of very competent judgment. The Drury Lane bills also announce a new tragedy, entitled "Virginius, not unlikely to be founded on the same story with that at Covent Garden. Retort.-A French officer quarrelling with a Swiss, reproached him with his country's vice, of fighting on either side for money, while "we Frenchmen, (said he), fight for honour." "Yes, sir, (replied the Swiss,) every one fights for that which he most wants! " Anecdote.-A woman anxious to get into Notre Dame, whence a sacred procession had just issued with the Host, was very urgent with the Verger, who denied her entrance. "I want the blessing of the Good God!" said she: "The Good God is just gone out for a walk," was the answer; "there is no use in being so troublesome-he is not at home!" Memorandum from an Artist's Sketch Book.-I divide my sky and clouds into kings, lords, and commons. To the sun I give the powerful and regulating influence of the laws. The azure vault of heaven reigns as king. The light and fleecy clouds are the lords; while the commons are distinguished by those of a darker and graver tone, sometimes approaching to a threatening tone, and bearing in them the destructive qualities of a tempest. The due equipoise of these, is health and fertility to the globe we inhabit.
