W. whelk increafed towards afternoon to a complete hurricane, abating only by Stott intervals throughout t'•e night. Nest morning a variety of wreck, feattered along the Store, announced the ueltrudlion of fome veffel at no great diftance. Some of the inhabitants, eager to make a farther dircovery, went to furvey the weft rocks, where, from the top of a itupendous promontory. in a curved more, called Whaleeove, they dikovered a large mars of wreck, which convinced than that this bad been the feene of the unfortunate event they had anticipated. Adtuated by a kirk of enterprifing humanity, fome yowl • tfttn adventured to cravrl down the tremendous precipice, and notwithitanding the fluctuating and furious flaps of wind peculiar to the time and place, actually defeendcd the depth of 900 feet perpendicular. On reaching the bottom of the rock, their attention and feelings were fuddenly inter, .red in a very ftriking objedt indeed—the only furvivor of an unfortunate crew (eleven in number) in sulated on a rock near the wreck, in whom the tide of life was left ebbing ! our was it till low water that thefe laudable ad venturers were able to refcue him from this dread afylum.— Thia, however, at loft they happily eitedted; and fucceeded, weak and bruifed as he was, in bringing him tale up the hill—an atchievement which any ftranger wade. certainly . - pronounce impolfible. The wreck proves to be the Reliance of blewealtle.

In every part of the Exhibitioa of the firth& year we lament to fee fo great a difproportion of Portraits prevail ; neither are there any pictures which, by their magnitude, command particular attention. We that' notice tome of the moR con fpicuous. NO. 7. A Calm, wish Kfiernen dragging net.— R. FR SEBAIRN.—There is a delicacy of pencilling difcernable in the productions of this Artill which always deferves refpeaful notice.—The picture before us is executed in his belt le : the water is beautifully tranfparent, and the aerial peripelive is well underflood ; but the whole wants force. RIO. A Storm—..SAMß ARTS S —This, we fop pofe, is intended as a companion to the above.— The landfcape is altogether a fanciful compofition, coloured after the manner of the Roman fchool. It is a better picture, in refpeet to general execu tion, than the other, but it exhibits lets of nature. It is alfo defective in force. 16. rik to the Cottage, or doathing the Naked—i J. One, R. A.—This is, perhaps, the bell piaure ! of the kind in the Exhibition. The defign is that ' of a benevolent Lady, canting the children of al cottager to be (tripped of their tattered apparel, and re-clad. It does honour to the feelings of the painter. A fweet little (Name faced boy occupies the centre of the pieture, and the figure of the Lady, who is picking out fuch cloaths as (he thinks' will fuit him, is moll graceful. an excellence not heretofore peculiar to the produCtions of this ar till.—The colouring of the whole pieture is ex tremely rich, and the diltribution of light and fhade molt happy. Is. Portrait of her Royal Ikhotfi the Prinreff Au grrfla—M. W. SHARP.—The attitude in which Mr. Sharp has placed the figure of her Royal High nefs is not graceful, and the charatier which he has given to the face, though the features in de i tail are Ur, is not that of the exalted perfonage who has honoured him with a fitting.—The figure is, however, well coloured, and produces a good general effect. 21. Portrait of Lord Thurloeo--T. LAWRENCE, R. A.—A very tine likenefs of this venerable Peer. painted with great folidity of touch and truth of colouring. Mr. LawrEnce is commendably getting nut of that glitter of manner which has diain guilhed his piltures for fame years. 4 6 . A Shooting Party going eld—W. R. Bic c. R. A.—This picture is mad'e up of parallels and right angles, otherwife it is well defigned, and coloured with a good knowledge of the effects of nature. (To be cont:nued.) Yetlerday was moll unfavourable for them exlyi &don, of the Cs MNPT Sws r as. The rain, indeed, compelled moll of them o Ray at home, fo that there were but few non rodent Clergymen. At Newmarket, on Tuefday laft, the following horfes were put up by auftion, and bought in at the following prices, viz. Highlandfling, 44ogs; Alkgrantt, togs; and Strathhey, 165 gs. Yeflerday Mr. Warru st am's Appeal againft the Poor Rate of the Parifh of St. Bride's, came on to be heard at the General Garter Seflions at Guild hall, when the Court qua(hed the rate. Yeßerday the Water Bailiff prefented two large porpoifes to the Right. Hon. the LORD MAYOR, which had been caught in the River Thames. The two fithermen, who were the means of catching them, were paid 6s. each for their trouble, being the ofual fee. A new Table of Rates, by which the Fares of Waterman are regulated, has been at length male out by the Court of Aldermen, under the authority of four Members of the Privy Council, and began to take place this day. All perfons hiring boats will now know what they are to pay; and Water men can no longer, with impunity, refufe to take a fare when called upon; becaufe they are obliged, under a penalty of +as. to carry, in their bats, badges containing the number of their boats. Sroartno.—K number of fpedators yefierday attended at Copenhagen Houle. near Iflington, to witnefs the following match between the well. known Burk and a man named Grindley, a fhoe maker. The match was. tit, te fight three rounds for so guineas; ad, to run too yards for so gui neas ; and 3d, to leap di Rance for so guineas. In the fight Bark hit his antagonift fo revere a blow between the eyes that he gave in. They then ran and I -qped, in both which Grist/lay was vidorictus, and calfequently g.tinrcl the money. The tB:d Anniverfary of the Landing of the Engli(h Settlers at Plymouth. in New England. was celebrated at 13ollon a few weeks ago.

ROl4/111 ALTAR.—Lately was dug up, about a mile fouth of Kirk Andrews upon Eden, and a• bout three miles welt of CarliOe (in a riling ground, known by the name of Kirkfteads, and rkfembling a church-yard) a Roman Altar, about four feet four inches in height, two feet in breadth, and four. teen inches in thicknefs ; with the following infcrip lion thereon, quite diftinift, in (even lines, viz. Livialva Vic—Todiaus El—Caellames Leg VI Vie—dlobreftrais—Vallevis Pro—Spcniellas. The Altar has a hollow - or cup, on the top, ahont two inches deep. and twelve or thirteen in breadth. Many (tones, curioney carved, have been founil at that place ; Inch as fragments of pilLars, Rattles, &c. tome with infcriptions, but none legible except the above. The fituation is about a mile fouth of the Pies Wall ; and it is moil probable, it has been a Roman Salim. THE LATE DUEL. Mr. EMTOa—As various illiberal, unfounded reports, Are in circulation, refieding on the con dud of the Seconds in the late unfortunate Duel between Colonel Mon roomsa v and Captain MAC NAMARA, I feel it my duty, as the Second of the latter, to Slate (with his knowledge and approba tion) the following particulars :—As the origin of the difpute is irrelevant to my put pofe, I will make no comment on it.—Capt. MACNAMARA and my felf, accompanied by Mr. Flr•vis IDE, on our way to Chalk Farm, overtook Sir WM. KEIR, who making himfelf known, I left the chnife, having pi evionfly received my friend's inftrudions. After the firlf compliments were over, Sir WM. Kant ()Nerved, " This is an unfortunate bufinef's, but I hope we (hall be able to do it away." I replied, " Yes, I hope we !hall ; but, Sir W ILL I AM , I will at once inform you, that no apology Mill come from Captain MACNAMARA, as he feels himfelf the offended party." I then related the particulars of the difpute, as Sir WILLIAM appeared unacquaint ed with them. Sir WILLIAM obferved on the word orrogneet, ufed by Capt. M. I agreed with him, that it was a revere word, but that the con do& of Col. M. had drawn it from Capt. M.—Sir WM. then walled to put off -he meeting this• ever!. ing, obfcrving, that he hoped in the morning we might do it away ; and that he thought it was getting too dark. To this I replied, that I moth lamented the very prompt appointment of his. friend, Col. M. who had fo decidedly fixed the meeting at precifely two hours from the time I de livered Capt. M.'s meffage, and for that purpore had (het his watch to mine : that as to the bghts having accepted Col. M.'s time, it was not for us to objed to that, even were it moonlight ; but that as I was equally anxious with him to do away the difpute, I would, the moment the time was expired (if Col. M. did not appear) quit the ground with Capt. M. and wait on Sir Wm. lit la at any time he pleafed, that evening or the following day; but that I did not think we could, as men of hononr, quit the ground till the time was elapfed. A few minutes before the appointed time, Col. M. appeared ! Sir Wm. Kt la then went from me to (peak to him, before they proceeded to the ground. After a very (port converfation, Sir Wm. and Co!„,M. walked towards the ground, Sir Wm. ordering his fervaxtt, in French, to bring the Mak.— I then directed a fervent to bring mine. When, on the grotnuf, Sir WM. KEIR and I went apart, and I then repeated, that if Colonel M. would make a written apology, it was not now too late. Sir WILLIAM fpok: to the Colonel, but foon return. ed, laying, " A written apology, you know, Capt. BARRY, would be entirely out of the quelllon ; but Col. M. declines making any apology." The pißols were then loaded, and it was agreed that they fhould Rand at twelve paces diftant from tack other, then level and fire as they pleafed. The ex change of films was almnfl inftantarlemls, but Cot M. fired firs. The parties were immediately con veyed to Chalk Farm, and while I was binding up Capt. M.'s wounds, Sir Wm. Katt informed me, Col. M. was dead. Sir WILLIAM then waited for me till my horfe was brought nut, and we accons. panied each other to town. This, to the bell of my recolledion, is a corred account of the con duit of the feconds. ROBERT 3AUSS. Capt.
