BOTAAY BAY.

.WE yeceived, yesterday, a set: of the Newspapers
of this Colony, ending at July 2 1 last. .The 'public
news consists chiefly of disturbahces given to distant
Settlers by small parties.of the Natives, Who had be-
come very ventrous,' and had tWo leders; the one
called 1-hvich Jack, the other Abtspito. In some
instances the latter have been vidorions, their spears
outlasting the ammunitionof the Stttlers; in others,
they have been repulsed. They generally attempt
to set Ore to the buildings they attach.;, and have a
mode of throw:ing tiretbrands from a distance, by
means of-the:Nputting, or
.1/A-sig. It seems, how-
ever, from [he following Notice in the Paper of July
7, that there was a prospect of a better. understand-
ing with them :

No. az. Fall of the Rhine at Schaffhausen.— W
URNEI4, R. A.
THIS SUbjeki has often given,scope to the powers
of the pencil, but the best etlOrt 'of the art that we
have seen came, from the veteran LOVTIIERBOUItG
p
and appeared in the Exhibition Many years age.—
The subjea seemed td be well caletilated to draw
thrth the powers of Mr. TO4NF,R, but.we are sorry
to say that we cannot compliMent him on.his' sue--
cess. Instead of boldness and grandeur, his pidure,
in our opinion, is marked by negligence and coarse-
ness, and the prevailing features of the colouring
seem to have been produced by sand and oa/k.
No. 35, Portrait of Lord_ Elk.nboiough.—T.:LA WR E NCR,
.The Artist has been peculiarly successful in this
Portrait. It is 'a strong and spirited likeness, and is
Vet* richly coloured. This, may be classed with -the
very best POrtraits in the present Ifxhibition,, and is
painted in Mr. LAWRENCE'S happiest manner. It was
no. easy-matter to produce a• pidureT with- such a
redundance of scarlet in the judicial garb; Without
glare, yet, by the skilful distribution of his lights
and shades,' the ingenious Artist has entirely ob-
viated that effect.
N 0.736. Evening, with a Stage-coach.—P4.-P,F..
Bouao, R.A. •
We have here an admirable specimen
.of the pe- very singular swap: wai,.shot-last week by John
cpliar poWers-of this Artist Irt the detail the work Karkup, groom .to• Sir \Vilfred• Lawson Bart of
is excellent,. and equal in finishing to any thing that Brayton'House, which iveialied l sllb. It measured
across the wings i 3 feet 2 inches, .and in height "6
the art .can produce. According 'to the usual style.
et inch.' is of a y!:ry remarkable Col9o, and
panegyric; we May' almost fancy that .the stage-
coach is moving, the horses and all the attendant IS supposed to be the largest ever seen in Cumber.,
circumstances are given with. so much spirit. The i land.
figures and inferior animals are, touched with great -ITe4tc,st•;:lziy-, at Marlborough-.street;
skill. We wish that the :sky had not such " flaring:' a porter' belonging:to the, Gloucester Coffee-house,•
beams-- oaf_ yellow, and that-London were not in Picead;ily,. was charged -by B. LivrponNE4,l;sq. of St.-
vohwd in such an atmospheresofpink. • • Jimi'eS'ii Place, with exturtiou. 'flie Prosecutor had
with,n_a short time had three parcels sent. to him by
the mail, which were delivered at his residence by
the porter in question. 11lr.i L.was.convinced that
tlic charge Was incotrea, and he accordingly went
to the inn; where, on inspecting the books, he fotind
that the last parcel, which was charged to him by
the .poller. 55.,10d., ,shouid hate been only 3s. 6d.
On farther investigation, he toutpil that the' ticket
had been altered. The Mlaistiate. fined the porter
On_two of the. Charges,
.cos. each, with. costs..

Several of the Natives of Otalteit7 acid New Zea-
land' having been-broil:2;a by different yessels,to BO:
tany Bay, Governor KI`NG, with equal harnanity atid
wisdom, had them Stiimooned to the Government
House,- where they were' inforin:,,d that they were
free, and might servewholn piease43 that,incase
of any ill-usage, they. inig:tt complain to him; and
that they might- apply to the Govfernment Artificers
for gratuitous inige\'eral useful trades.

ititenclant, Of the Sniiths,- the et her nder this Cstr,
