THE Case of this unfortunate Artist, a Native of Newcastle, being correctly stated in his Address to the Royal Academy in London, and his talents as an Engraver well known, and highly esteemed, it is hoped the lovers of Art, and Friends of the Distressed, will give his deplorable Situa tion their benevolent -.Consideration, and exert themselves to save - a respectable Man and - his Family from utter Ruin.

' • The following letter -to the Royal Academy will explain the particulars of this melancholy cue. The gentleman re duced by a shocking calamity to this' painful necessity; is Mr. John Scott, the eminent animal and landscape engraver. To all persons who have the slidtest acquaintance with the works of living artists: the mention of the name is a sufficient intro duction. In the course of an industrious - life rd what life can be more industrious than the Engraver's ?) Mr. Scott has finished several hundred plates, which are all in high estima tion. The Sporting Magazine, Mr. Daniel's Rural Sports, and other works of a similar nature,-Owe a large portion of their reputation to the exquisite delicacy and truth of Mr. Scott's graver. His two large plates—" Breaking Cover," and "the Death of the Fox," after Gilpin artd - Retnagle--are possessed by ever lover of Art who prizes pictures of animals and field sports. Indeed many good judges conceive, that these plates are alone sufficient to place Mr. Spott at the top of his profes sion in that line. We cannot conceive any thing more distress ing, than a man of high talent, who was living respectably by his labours in a profession of which he is ardently fond, sud denly cut off frOm hit means of nubsistence, and thrown into utter despair by an afflection so dreadful as a paralytic stroke. " To the President and Mendbers of the - Royal Academy. " Gentlemen—l am reluctantly ,compelled by necessity to make the present appeal to 'your benevolence in behalf of my self, a wife, and a numerous famill,c For many years past, by indefatigable exertions, I have been enabled by my humble abilities as an Engraver to supp or t an increasing family, now ainottn - ling to nine children, in re spectability and comfort, and still enjoyed the cheering prospect of a continuance in such honourable endeavours as eyery.itule pendent mind ,delights in. But by one of those awful' visi tations of Providence, which It is not 'for us to question, I was rendered wholly incapable of further professional labours. I suffered a violent paralytic stroke in March, 1821. My medical advisers recommended a visit to my native'air, as the only means likely to restore my shattered frame. - - A stay'at Newcastle of some months affording no change for the better, I returned to London. In my absence, my enemies injured my interests by insidiously lamenting my total loss of intellect, while they Se cretly promoted their own selfish and mercenary views. The consequence.pf such, conduct was, - that I have been deprived of work, amounting to many hundred pounds, which was trans ferred to the hands of the men who had thus assailed me in the hour of affliction. ' " In this state of sickness and distress, I was advised by my friends to take a house in Regent-street,- for the better sale of my prints; and to let a part furnished ; and although this step has answered my most sanguine expectations, and would enable me and my family to live rent-free, yet the previous embarrass ments arising from a total loss of income, had brought me to such a state, that nothing can save me from inevitable ruin but the interposing hand 'uf benevolence. • To aggravate the ills with which I am encompassed, my wife has fallen sick from over exertion to avert them ; and the husband of my only mar ried child is Consigned to Prison for debt, leaving, his wife and two helpless infants an additional burden on me. " I trust, Gentlemen, this recital of my misfortunes will be a sufficient apology for the boldness with which I have ventured to address you. I plead urgent distress, and feel confident I shall not plead in vain to those who know - the difficulties with, which Artists are often beset, and who have on various occa sions stood forward to their assistance. Although I have not the honour of being a member of the - Royal Academy, I trust I shall receive the sympathy and commiseration of its members, and influence them to rescue me from irretreivable ruin by a timely donation, whiCh . will enable me to complete the works confided to my execution, and again to support my family by my own exertions. Trusting you will not deny me that assist. ante, for which I shall feel for ever grateful,--I remain, Gentlemen, with sentiments of the greatest respect, your obe dient and humble servant, " JOAN SCOTT." This appeal was not without its effect. • Seconded by Sir Thomas Lawrence (who has behaved with a feeling and deli cacy which double the value of his generosity), Mr. Soane the architect, and other Gentlemen, who have hearts to appreciate sufferings like these above detailed, the Academy.voted to Mr. Scott a donation of thirty guineas, to head the subscription list. What adds to the hopes of Mr. Scott's friends on this occasion is, that the . aid now sought from the sympathy of the Professors and Patrons of Art, and the benevplence of the Pub lic, does not extend to the support of himself and his family for an indefinite time,—which might render hopeless all exer tions in his behalf. He is so far recovered cis to be able to re sume his work partially, and is greatly assisted by his son, a youth of promising abilities. Should such.' a sum, therefore, , be raised, as would relieve him from the in imediate pressures which threaten to crush him, he possesses the consoling pros pect of maintaining his family as formerly.

LITERARY NOTICE. A GLOSSARY ; or, Collection' of Words, Phrases, Names, and Allusions to Customs, Proverbs, &c. which have been thought to reluire Illustrntion, , in the Works of English Authors, particularly SHAKESPEARE, and his Contem poraries. Cadentqu'e Qum nunc aunt in honore By ROBERT NAIRES, A.lll. F.R.S. F.A.S., Archdeacon' of Stafford, &c. The world has long been indebted to this Gentleman for many valuable productions, some in conformity to the duties of his serious calling, and others for the promotion of Learning and Taste. His work, entitled " Elements of Orthoem" is a standard Book, and proves how well he was qualified for that which he has re cently presented to the public, and which is the subject of our present notice. The Scrow of this Gentleman have been justly admired for the soundness of the doctrines, and time elegance .of the language. Of the work be fore us the leartied. Author tells us in a mo dest Preface that " its materials were sought and collected entirely for amusement ; and the task has been continued and completed, so far as it can be called complete, exactly in the same manner; with perseverance indeed through a long series of years, but uniformly at leisure hours, and only in the intervals of more import ant occupations." Happy •is the man that can so honourably and so usefully employ his leisure hours, and though the public have reason from the value of this Author's serious labours, to wish for more of them, yet they have reason to rejoice that he had leisure to produce a Work so amusing and instructive as the present. 'Ye doubt not that it will, to use his own words, "entertain the Reader no less than it has amused the Writer." To the admirers of our dra- ' matic Bard this Work is one of the most valuable treasures that has been ever pre sented to them. It illustrates a multipli city of passages by a reference to Customs Proverbs, Adages, and Tales, which have escaped the most elaborate and intelligent of the Com mentators. The Author cites abundant autho rities for all his explanations, and gives his own opinions with diffidence, notwithstanding the force and perspicuity with which they are supported. The nature of the work hardly admits of quota tions in this place, and therefore we can only offer our humble testimony to its general merit, heartily recommending it to the attention of the scholar, the man of taste, and particularly of the Lovers of the Drama, as 'it not only illustrates ,the works of SHAKESPEARE, but of those contem porary writers who, though eclipsed by his ra diance, will continue to adorn the Literature of our Country. We cannot, however, deny our selves the pleasure of transcribing the following respectful and dignified dedication of this truly valuable addition to British Literature : TO THE KING. SIRE,—It was 'the .Glory of one illustrious - Reign to have resisted and humbled the tnemies of the Country; and also to have produced and foStcred the distinguished Authors whose Works are here altempted to be illustrated. Under the Auspices of YOUR MAJESTY, as PRINCE REGENT, the forrner Glory has been surpassed ; and of the latter, the most sanguine expectations are fully authorised, by what is-already known of the Talents, Taste, and Beneficence, of KING GEORGE THE FOURTH._ . _ Looking up, therefore, to YOUR MAJESTY as the declared Friend and Protector of Literature, in all its Branches, I have solicited Permissiorrto lay this humble Performance at the foot . of the Throne, and subscribe myself YOUR illAJEsTv's Most obedient, most devoted, and Faithful Subject and Servant, ROBERT 'AIRES. ANECDOTE.- - A very genteel looking young man was seen to enter a church in time of ser vice; he paused at the entrance ; the congrega tion stared ; he advanced a few steps, and deli berately surveying the whole assembly, com menced a slow march up the broad aisle ; not a pew.was .opened ; the audience were too busy for civility; he wheeled, ,and..in the same man ner performed a rnarnia, stepring as if to Roslyn Castle, or the'Dcad March in Saul, and .dis a p.. peared. A few moments after, he re-entered with a huge block upon his shoulders as heavy as he , could well stagger under. His counte nance was immoveable--.-again the good people stared, and half rose from their seats, with their books in their hands. At length he plac e d th e block in the very centre of the principal passage and seated himself upon it. Then, for the first time, the. reproach was felt. Every pew door in the church was instantly flung open. But no— the stranger was a gentleman ; he came n o t th ere for disturbance ; he moved not ; smiled not ; but preserved the utmost decorum until the ser vice Was concluded, when, he shouldered his block, and to the same slow step bore it off, and replaced it where hellad found it. 2- 2 PIRACY. [From the Glasgow Courier, Nov. 19.] MEETING WEST INDIA TRADE.—Yesterday, at a general and full meeting of the West India Planters, Merchants, and Ship Owners, of this City, the following Memorial was adopted, and directed to be forwarded to the Admiralty, by JAMES EWING, Esq. their Chairman. To the Right. Honourable the Lords Commissioners of His Majesty's Admiralty. The Memorial of the West India Association of Planters, Merchants and Ship Owners, in the City of Glasgow, Sheweth, That your Memorialists are extensively engaged in the trade with his Majesty's Colonies in the West Indies. That authentic accounts have lately been received, of a pre datory warfare carried on by lawless banditti on the West India Seas--interrupting the passage of vessels to and from the Colonies—extending to the very shores and harbours of our ISlands—endangering the'persons and property of British sub jects—and raising the premium of insurance to double of the rate usually paid at this season of the year. That, in a time of profound peace, when no risk was:antici pated but that of the elements ; when no preparations of de fence were required against a foreign enemy, and when confi dence was reposed in the vigilance of his Majesty's cruisers for the suppression of every piratical attempt—your Memorialists cannot but contemplate with sentiments of regret and surprise, that the vessels of Britain should thus have been exposed to in-' suit, 'pillage, and barbarity.. Aware, however, on the one hand, of the prudential policy it was expedient to observe toward Spain ; and ignorant, on s the other, of the instructions which may have been communicated to the Commanders on the sta tions, your Memorialists do not presume either to attribute blame to the administration .of your Lordships, or to suggest the remedy best adapted to the exigency. But feeling in the strongest mariner the grievance of which they now complain, ,and confiding at the same time, with perfect assurance, both in the care and wisdom of his Majesty's Government, they, can not permit themselves to entertain a doubt that effectual measures will immediately be adopted to remove the evil, to prevent its recurrence, and to afford the most complete protec tion to the Trade of the Country. May it therefore please your Lordships to take the premises into your consideration, and to give such redress as the nature of the ease may require. Signed in name and by appointment of the Meeting, JAS. EWING, Chairman. C. D. DONALD, Secretary. Glasgow, Nov. 18, 1821 CITY, FIZID tY EVENING. A private express arrived this afternoon from Paris, by which a letter has been received, dated late in the evening of 'Wednesday last. By it the important information has been. communicated, that the Patriot • General MINA had possessed himself of the Seo d'Urgel, and it was farther reported, that the Baron I)' Ettor.rs was his prisoner. The Funds, therefore, Which the preceding day closed at 89, advanced 35 cents., and at the closing of, the, lit,:change this improvement Was fully maintained. Afterwards news of the most mo mentous nature, as it regards both France and Europe, was made public, and the Rentes were in consequence freely sold in the Coffee-houses at 88. 50. It was publicly known that his Most CHRISTIAN MAJESTY had been attacked with apoplexy, and considerable alarm was the consequence. Before the cx preKkr. Paris, however,.the KING had been declared out of danger, and thus confidence was in some measure again re stored. From Verona'the accounts were entirely pacific, and the French Ambassador was to leave that City on the 20th instant on his return to Paris. Letters from Trieste, dated on the the 6th November, con tain information which must be agreeable to every person in terested in the liberties of Greece. 'The Deputation from the Morea, with Count 11IATAcA at its head, had only been required to perform ten days quarantine instead of forty, at An cona, and had obtained passports• to proceed, if not to Verona, at all events to its suburbs. These are favourable symptoms, for though his highly probable that the Greeks may work out heir deliverance without any foreign assistance, still the interference of Europe in'their cause may avert much valuable bloodshed.— Christianity, liberty, and civilization may yetspread their bene ficent wings over this faireSt portion of the earth, and the ba4 harians will 'be expelled from that sail so deeply poluted by their crimes. Under the patronage. of the British Empire, a great nation of Freemen may be established in European Tur key—that land which formerly gave birth to every thing great and good, and which still nourishes - the men of the finest form and best natural capacity of any in Europe, and to have re established the descendants of the ancient Greeks in their just station in Europe, would certainly reflect lustre on the reign of his present MAJ ESTY, and, add to the character of the nation. On the Foreign Market prices are generally higher, and the prospect is certainly good: -After the 30th, should the King of FRA NCE not .sufferany relapse, an-improvement may be ex pected, for nothing hostile to the repose of Europe will at present arise out of the deliberations of the Wiseacres at Verona.

Having given this opinion, the chivalrous writer adds— " At all events, should it prove true that England refuses to co-operate in measures which appear to have been long since concerted on the affairs of Spain, we may, from all that we see, conclude that the resolution is taken to act without her participation.

Bayonne and Perpignan speaks more clearly on the subject than all the articles of the journals, and than all the letters public or pri vate, though they may come direct from Verona." FOR THE SUN. REMARKS ON AN ARTICLE SIGNED " N."• Mr. EDITOR—I am not inclined to gratify your Correspondent. N. by replying to his quo-. tations and childish invective, until he has learnt.. that 46 'Personal abuse, that favourite colour which glares most in a fool's rhetoric is carefully to be avoided ;" and until he has learnt to state positions which he attributes to another in ate words of the person to whom he attributes them„ and not advance his own statements instead of • them. The Review of Mr. Norris's able expo sure of the want of conduct in the proceedings of the. Bible Society, consisted in great part of quo tations from the work. Among them it was stated that one Dr. 0. Gregory had assured an assembly of females that if they were active in the cause of the Bible Society, " God would be . their . Lover." This quotation N. terms a cc gross error," an " attack upon a private indi vidual," and " unhesitatingly pronouncing Dr. 0. Gregory to be a Calvinist." If. the sagacious , Mr. N. is right, then henceforth any man who assures an assembly of Ladies that " God will be their Lover," is to be considered as professing the Calvinistic Tenets. The acute Mr. N. also considers that any person reviewing a work, which gives a detailed account of a vast combi nation of Sectarians, and quoting therefrom, at tacks- private individuals, and pronounces on the religious tenets of others. If any arguments had been advanced to prove the accuracy of the state ments made, then it is presitmed that the pro found Mr. N. might have concluded that the person thus reasoning held the same opinions as the writer from whom he quoted. But no arguments were used, therefore Mr. N. would have been more correct in his pro ceedings, if he had shewn that Mr. Norris was in error in saying that Dr. 0. Gregory made use of the phrase above quoted. It is not neces sary for a man to be Calvinist to address an As sembly of the Bible Society, and Dr. Gregory may, ith zeal and sincerity, have attended the meeting.at Hertford, but even his - Champion N. will find it difficult to prove, that Dr. 0. Gre gory acted with either judgment or taste in in flaming the enthusiasm of a highly wrought as sembly of females, by telling• them that GOD would be their lover. Mr. Norris's exposure has given to the world, a very clear insight into the proceedings of that So ciety. And though some imbecile tirades, have been made against the work, no member of that Society has yet shewn, that with all the trumpet ing of its votaries, the prices demanded for their copies of the Scriptures of the same description as those disseminated by the Society for the Pro motion of Christian Knowledge, are not many per cent. higher. Lest the comparative prices should'he forgotten.. The table from Mr. Norris work Aall be again quoted : • Bible Society's Prices. 1812 s. 4. 3 6 3 0 4 4 5 3 8 0 8 6 _jeep.

And also that he would soon realize a considerable fortune by the extensive and profitable traffic pursued by the So ciety. Since the quotations from Dr. 0. Gre gory's works have been quoted by Mr. N. to confute a•charge which was never advanced, it will be but candid to acknowledge that the opi nions they contain and the feelings they evince, excite great regret that the writer of them should have forgotten his maxims, by using expressions to an assembly of females, which his' indiscreet champion, Mr. N. had better have allowed to pass without unnecessarily dragging them again into public notice. Q. *See THE SUN of Wednesday last. Mtronm.—During an Electionfor the City, a • few years back, a gentle m an having ordered 'his carriage for the purpose of proceeding upon a canvass in behalf of Sir W.Ctlwris,was compelled, in consequence of his coachman being out of the way, to content himself with a hackney. On his way to Sir WILLIAM'S Cominittee he saw JOHN yoked with a number of the, mob to Mr. WAITIIMAN'S coach. When he returned he sent for JOHN into his study, and, after some expostu lation on his being out of the way when wanted, asked him how he could degrade himself low as to change condition with the -brutes he was in the habit of driving : JOIAN stared, and, twisting the side curl of his buckled wig, replied, "he was• only doing honour to the man of the people." " And what is this man of the people to do for you more•than the other candidates, John ?" asked his master : " Do, Sir," replied John, 44 Why he promises to do a great deal ; he is to get us Triangular Par liaments and Universal Sufferings."
