-TILLS subjeet is so well known, and has been so
often treated, that the. ArtiSt ventured upon perilous

but, on the contrary, 'has reason to pride himself in
having acquittedhimself with so much success on so.
hackneyed a theme. The figuye3 are well-disposed,
and excite a strong interest. They have the true
infantile charataer, and produce syMpathy; without
distressing the mind with too.violent an impression.
The colouring is rich, and' the lights 'are dispersed
with, treat judgment. The whole is brilliant and
harmonious. -

If this Piatire'had the lustre.

and were not "so fresh in its colouring, it would hold
a distinguished rank vjith the best productions of the

strong a resemblance to "the-. /phigmia of that ad-
mirable Artist'. It is however :drawn with great skill,
and beautifully coloured. We cannot help \vishing
that the Curtain had not been quite so large, as it
somewhat tends to take from .theimpression of the
principal object._ It is, hOwever, a capital Work
on the whole, and Would do 'honour to any Suneol
of Painting. . .

No. 229. Prospero ani Miranda.--M. A. SHITI R. A.,

Nature has been so liberal to this Artist in poeti-
cal genius that he might well• have been content if
he had inferior pretension's to graphic celebrity. This
hOwever, stews that he is
" Equal to both, and arm'd for either field."

The charmers are well. conceived. The sage dig-
nity of Prosptyo is successfully pourtrayed, and the
figure of Miranda. is light, elegant, and graceful,—
The Artist haS expressed with much felicity. that
timid simplicity and amazement which might be
supposed to arise from the necromantic terrors. that
surround her. We are glad to tina, that successful
as this Artist deservedly is in, tile line of portrait-
painting, his laudable zeal for fame, induces him, to
exercise his strength in the historical department.

The PANORAMA of the BATTLE CIi.TRAFALGAR, in.
the Haymarket, appears at present to be the centre
of attraction among our Fashionabhts and Elegantes.
Never, indeed, has any Extiibition'of this nature ex-
cited so much curiosity, and none, we believe, ever
"so-amply gratified it. The awful situation' of our
Shipping engaged with the Enemy Is so ably de-
pitted, that the btroic:condutt displayed by NELSOTAT
and his Associates acquires fresh interest and ad-
miration from this impressive View of the A6tion..
It will benolittle recommendation to this admirable
Piece, when We assure our Readers, that- every. otA of
the -English, Ships are ccirreaty pourtrayed, atiel that
severdl Naval Officers, who kignalized themselves
on that memorable day, have honoured it with their
entire approbation. , -

But few persons can boast Of having many friends
that would, lend them, on an emergency, a hundred;
shillings ; yet, them is no , person who_ may. not,
for a very triflin stake a adventure, possess Mime..
rous chances of gaining, many hundreds of pounds,:
not by 2, loan, but bya a free, gift of that wealthy
dame called Madgme Fortune. Cornmon pride and;
imbition should,: stimulate those who stand in need
of a comfortable competency, thus to endeavour, by
their own. means, to render themselves independent.
The rich Lottery:Scheme, that begins drawing' oz
-Monday, affords, -many- chances of crowning their
wishes. • • •
