No. X.

No, 41.--'ketch of a Political Diving Machine.
By Viscount CASTI.CICAOII, L A. A. S S.
A late experiment made in the Thames, near
Woolwich, in presence of Lord Mulgrave, Sir Sid-
ney Smith, Mr. Pitt, and Mr. Long, appears to
have suggested the idea of this piece. The
machine is something like the shape of a• man,
or, perhaps, more like a mermaid. It appears
to have caught two very fine ',Wars, and taken in
great number of fl And :Pageant. The Unien
is seen flying a the hea-1 of the machine, while
the Pilot that weathered t%e ,to-m," in a neilhhoar-
iag barge, is singing, " flown, Dewr, high Derry
Powr." In one view, the crone appears like a ship
clearing for anion, which had thrown its lumber
overheard; but the mo•ion of the arms, and the
ernre%sion of the countentnce of the crew, one of
whom is giving the m 'chine a Fang pull, correspond.
more with sailors heaving the It d. This piece
is
lane in wake colours. The ,inking of the Diving
Bell, although orod,,,tal, and crire foreign from
eie intention or design of the Artist, is the most
beautiful and most admirer'. part of the peeform-
anre. Had the Artist stopped there, it would have
been a chef "emcee.

Ta ♦2.—The a,.1 his Gnnie.—A grime in
Yori,,iire. By Ft.mr, Tlioanros, and
C.,. B. A.

The tailor appears a flint of fire. Tie goose is
usil hot. The speftatnr almost fancies that h•
bears the hes,. The tailor is in the aft of lacing a
Colonel's coat. The scene is very detective, being
more like the G-and•stand, on the Race-course near
York, than a tailor's shop-board. The measure is
also very bad, and this sprightly Feint, we think,
would r.ot be very likely to please zman of fashion.
The colours of this piece are ton eintese. It is a
hasty sketch, without any regard to order or pro-
praely. An honest Yorkshire attorney, however, of
oome taste, considers it a valuable produetion.
