This he ascended, and the bear followed ; at the height of 10 or 12 feet, she was so near him he gave her a kick, and she slipped to the bottom. She immediately reascended, while he exerted himself to climb beyond her reach ; but she again overtook him, and as he kicked at her, she tore his right foot badly, took off his shoe, and again fell to the ground. She then followed him up the third time, and fell without doins him any injury. He had now ascended the saplin about 20 feet, but the oid bear was soon at his hsrels the fourth time, caught his left foot, and both fell together.

Sir Thomas Lawrence has latelv finish ed a very fine painting of Mr. West, the late President of the Roval Academy; which was ordered by the America Acad emy ol tine Arts in this city. Sir Thom as has obtained permission to exhibit it in Lngland lor one year, when it will be ship ped to this port. The London Observer contains the following critique on this per formance : Portrait of the late B. West, F. K. A. is a magnificent and masterly performance. After his own works a great man's' best monument tliis is the way in which a mighty genius should go uown to posterity. It is chaste, simple, and severe : it produces all the effect possible ; and this not by its ostentation, but its modesty. The coloring is rich without gaudiness : the drapcry is natunJ, without labor : there is a depth a, clearness, and a tranquil majesty about this en tire picture, which the greatest portrait painters of antiquity might be proud of. It is a faithful re sembl ance of the late President ; and one cf the most durable and indisputable claims of the pres ent to be his successor. It is at once a testimo ny to the genius of the one and of the genius of the other. If we were inclined to hir.': any thinr which looked luce a drawback from the merit cf let mc get out ol the country hrst, as I Act, required to be made by that body, so nne a picture as this, we should doubt wheth have seen quite enough of cutting throats previous to its admission into the Union, ! cr lt wouJl1 not have been more appropriate to since I left New-York. A short time by the law passed at the late session of j h7 Pf1 sme of West's own fine paintings, since, the citizens met fcr the purpose of Congress, declaring "as a fundamental ! Uo ? ir- r .... . . " r n i v-aiuciii a casci, man me canoon ot tns ' ucai;i appointing deputies to Lisbon, and, as is usual on all those electioneering occa sions, political discussions ran high; though wc were assured the military would not interfere, I deemed it prudent to retire, and luckily for me I did so, for, almost immediately after, a body of sol diers entered the building, and with the utmost sangfroid, began firing in all di rections, and most fmiously charged bay onets up and down the rccms. The condition of such admission, that the fourth clause of the twenty-second section of the third article of the constitution, (prohibit ing the emigration of free negroes into the state,) submitted on the part of said State to Congress, shall never be constru ed to authorize the passage of any lav, and that no law shall be passed by which any citizen of cither of the states in this Union, shall bc excluded from the enjoy ment of any cf the piivilegcs and irrmu- 01 Annanias.' Put, perhaps, it was a delicate way of associating: the divine Panhael with the human, but, in fame at least, ths immortal Am::i can. A man was killed at Providence, R.
