The-day of the birth, and also that ofthe death, of Uatfaello Sanzio da Uibino, whom the universal voice of posterity has recognized as the Prince of' modern Painters, and designated by the enthusiastic appellation of M the divine Raphael' No rival, at least, has ever been placed beside Raphael exceptMichael Angelo., Of the two illustrious contem poraries, the former may perhaps be ap propriately stylec the Shakspenre, the lat tt r the Milton of Painting. Dignity and imposing grandtjur of design are the reigning characteristics of Michael An gelo; the highest dramatic power which has ever been displayed by the pencil, and the representation of passion with all the force of life, arc the "qualities that chieflly give their wonderful fascination to the works of Raphael. Raphael was born at Urbino in 1483. By the lime he had reached the age of twenty-five he had so greatly distinguished himself that he was invited by Pope Julius IL to paint in fresco the chambers of the Vatican. From thjs time tiil his death, in I52l, at the early age of thirty-seven, he was employed iu the execution of a succession of grtat work?, chiefly for that pontifland his suc cessor, Leo X. flis moot famous per formances art', his picture of the School of Athens in the Vatican, the-Transfigur-. at ion, and his Cartoons on subjects taken from the Gospels and the ' Act of the April II.

At the uual a je young Canning wt.s sent to Ejon. vrnete he idori distinguished hifnself by the Lrillitjicy of his talents." While therejhe made th first public trial cf his literaty powuYit! The Microcosm a very clever periodical work, which he carried on in conjunction with some of his achooifellowy.t'-anrKGf which he was the projector and editor. In 1787 he removed to Christ Church, ! Oxford, intending to cdort the profession 01 tne law. JJut while t at the Ljmrr I sity, his reputation lr ability otttiiTed for ; him the notice of Mr. P.tt.'who brouffl.l j him into Parliament in 1703. Mr. Can : ning's official career belongs to thehiftory 1 of his country, and Vspecially thut prriuJ j of it during which he was iMcretary of j State for Foreign AfTnirs. The system j of foreign po'.icy with w hich his liame is j associated has caused his memory to to j held in honour; and although he eppoftu I Parliamentary Reform, ns well ns other -j opul8r measures, yet his steadfast stop j port of Catholic Emancipation for a lonjf ! series of years, ana the prt.Uction he nl i forded to the cause 0 fru !om on tljc Continent, and in South America, oie proofs of his attachment to h'tf celebrated toast of "Civil and RiligiGvsUirberty all over the World." In April, 1827, he was appointed Prime Minister by Ccorge IV and continued to hold the rfllces of First Lord of the Treasury, and Chancellor of the Exchequer till his death.1 on the 6ih of August in the same yr, at the Duke of Devonshire's villa alChiswick, after a shoit" illness. His death ot to early a period after his accession to rower raift ri forth a deep feeling or grief in bis own country, and, perhaps, a still strongerand , more general feeling on the Continent, where medals were struck io memory 0 the British minister. livening" Scliool.
