• The private patrons and friend's of the member's,
and many Well-known amateurs, were yesterday
admitted to a private view of the pictures for the
• , ensuing Exhioition. The Duke of GLoUCESTER,
• , ,the Princess SorulA of GLOUCESTER, Lord Mut-
GRAVE, Sir JOHN LEICESTER, and several other dis-
tinguished connoisseurs were present. We have the
pleasure cf saying, that high as she state of the arts
was last year, theprodirtions of the present strong-
ly manifest a general improvement. The artists of
. established reputation fully evince, in utidecaying
strength, the merit by which it was acquired,- and
there arc very striking proofs of genius in the rising
generation. The President has sent three pictures, the
I),•st ut which is an animated representation of
`PRAY'S Bard. Sir WILLIAM BEECHEY has eight
pictures, al! of which are worthy of his pencil, but
the chief is a portrait of Mrs. COMERELL and her
Daugh.er, which we have before noticed. WILKIE's
Bent Day is an exquisite perfoimance, full of cha-
., tader and expression, and if possible superior to all
his former works of a similar kind. He has another
of interior size, but of equal merit, according to
its scope. A new artist, named BIRD, has follow-
ed thetsteps bf WILKIE, with great' success, in an
admirable picture entitled Good News. 'A man is
reading a newspaper in a country ale-house, and
its utreas on the stueral charadera are finely ex-
pressed. tiorrNEß has smile excellent portraits.
His portrait of Sir Grottos BEAUMONT is a faithful

and spirited work. OWEN is very prominent this
, . year. his portrait of- the Dowager Lady BEAUMONT
is one of the best works'Of the present year. Tstom-
.sot§: has also very much distinguished himself' in
some fine portraits, and particutirly in his Distressed
Rain Hy. SEE has two animated portraits. To a-
• .titit sheWs the force of real genius in three pictures;
'two are views'of Sir Jotor LISICESTEIt'S seat, in dif.
tereneaSpetit, and the third Spithead.
,NoßTHcaries
Portrajt of the bishop of SALISBURY IS a masterly
7,vork. LOUTiIERBO.URG has shewn that his pencil
has all its (Omer spirit and vigour. WESTALL has
Pnme beautiful works, and so have both the'DANIELS.
CALcotT'slandscapea are among the best produc-
tions in the room. The historical work, by HAY*
VON of Plyitionth, is a very promising effort indeed,
in that branch of zrt.• appears 'to great
advantage,. particularly in 'a Portrait of Sir Jostrx
Barrk-s. We have not Space, however, to'mention
the srveral works of nitrit which deserve our ap-
-I)rocatiori, but shall notice them in due•orcler on a
fit titre occasion.'

THE gni? MATER s.

An of account of the loss of the Ship Travers
bat been published, from •ivhielt it appears that this
Vessel (an extra- East Indiaman) was wrecked on
litit of NoveMber, at -five o'clock, A.. M. on a rock
detached frtnn the Sunken Island, iu lat, 15. 38.• N.
long, 92. 20.. E. All the passengers, officers, and
'company, With
,the exception of six Euro-
peans, ievenaanete, nod tbreit leascars., were saved,
and were received,l)y Captain HlOlll4O, of the Earl
Spina+, and,treated with the gre4test huthanity and
generosity, they being in a 'state of great distress.—
The- vessel struck on the rock about five in the
Morning. Two Ships which were in company es-
caped. The Captain endeavoured to secure' the
packets, bur tould not succeed. By seven o'clock
th 6 hid all the ladies, passengers, and crew,
:with 'be exception of those mentioned, in the boats.
The weather was so extivinely squally, and a heavy
tlea running, lie thought it not safe to allow more
than ninety-three pawns in the launch, she being
bo "treMely deep, and eighteen in the cutter; but
ordered the jolly-boat back though she was also
very crowded; to 'endeavour to bring off as, many
Of those remaining as possible ; which, from their,
obstinacy in persisting in not eat Mug without their
baggage, the Officer was unable to efiefl,.excepting
three. When they put.off; our situation was still
knore 'distressing, as Captain FlAwas", of the ilia-
parch, the senior Officer, followed by tile Earl
Spencer, had gone to so great a distance,. that the
ShipS.could not be discovered.' In-about an hour
and a half they, were descried at a distance of about
ten Or eleven miles., The boats shipping much wa-
ter, kept them constantly bailing, which gave the
Captain much apprehension, from the .severity of the
*tattier, of their not being able to beach them ; but
'about eleven A. M. we were all safe on board the
ikart Spencer.- '
Two of his Majesty's ships were dispatched Several
clays afterwards to the spot where the wreck of the
Zavers Was left, in the hope of yet affording assis,
tance to the whole, or a part of the unhappy people
'Who' remained. As both ..Drowned and Diamond
Islands were in sight from them, and neither,of them
clistant .upwatds of a league,. there is smite chance
that a part of the people may be...saved. Diamond
Island aboundit with turtle) orx which those,. who
may have been so fortunate a; to reach that Island,
might for Wine time.sntnist.
