ANCIENNE SEVIIE

of the time of Louis IV., comprising many specimens of
the much esteemed hlue and green china. Also

THE MULBERRY TREE-BOX.
made of the wood of the renowned tree planted by OUR
IMMORTAL BA RD at Stratford-on- Avon. The authen-
ticity of ►his box is placed beyond doubt; a most respect-
able man (a tenant of the late Duke of Dorset) made an affi-
davit that it was front the genuine tree, before a kighly es-
teemed clergyman, who is now living to corroborate this
interesting fact. French docks with pedestals, and nume-
rous ornaments of great rarity.

There nre especial reasons that the sale of the whole
should be peremptory.
The Collection will be on view the Friday and Saturday
previous, when descriptive catalogues may he had at the
Office of Mr. George Robins, Covent-garden.

The object of this great discovery may he thus abridged :
It will supersede the ordinary crank
IN STEAM ENGINES,

the Rohinett, great beam, parallel motion, external fly-
wheel, reducing all friction, and leaving no other labour
on the piston but the work intended to be accomplished.
This " original motion," universal in its action, is simple
in its combination, and may be adapted to

kLI KINDS OF MACHINERY,
WITH OR WITHOUT STEAM.

The propulsion of ships, canal and other boats, chain-
force and other pumps, to carriages of all descriptions.
Amongst its manifold advantages, it may be stated that its
effect is equal in every position. It is a direct and perfectly
rectilinear motion, and its movement easy and smooth, by
means of having only two revolving wheels to put the whole
in motion. It is more compact, and its weight less, than
other engines, and it possesses a manifest increase of
power ; beside's which, its immense saving in fuel, and its
moderate cost in erection, are advantages that it is believed
only require to be known to be duly appreciated.
The Model may be viewed at Mr. R. Barlow's (the pa-
tentee), No. 58, Quadrant, in Regent-street, who will
attend until the sale, to explain more particularly its va-
luable properties.

Printed particulars (with a full description), may be
had also at the Mart, and in Corent-garden.

THE CELEBRATED COLLECTION OF THE
HIGHLY-ESTEEMED WORKS OF BENJAMIN
WEST, ESQ., THE LATE PRESIDENT OF THE
ROYAL ACADEMY; TOGETHER WITH THE
SPLENDID EXHIBITION ROOMS, ERECTED
BY MR. NASH, AT AN EXPENCE EXCEEDING
4,000 POUNDS, AND THE RESIDENCE OF THE
VENERABLE DECEASED, IN NEWMAN-

STREET.
NV. GEORGE ROBINS has the grati-
fication to announce to the Public, and more
especially those who encourage the FINE ARTS, that it
has been his good fortune to be honoured by the Executers
of the revered and highly-gifted Artist,

BENJAMIN WEST,
LATE PRESIDENT OF THE ROYAL ACADEMY,
To offer for unreserved competition, on, FRIDAY and
SATURDAY, the 15th and 16th days of May, at 12
o'Clock,
THE UNEQUALLED COLLECTION OF
HISTORICAL PICTURES,

Including 170 of the SUBLINIE EFFORTS of his vast and
comprehensive mind.

The great renown acquired by this distinguished orna-
ment of his Art, will necessarily circumscribe the necessity
of going into a very long detail : this is fortunate, inas-
much as the appalling difficulty of doing strict justice
would weaken the humble effort, and thus render more im-
perfect a sketch, that pretends not to give more than a very
faint outline of the brilliant picture, to which a much snore
talented man would feel himself incompetent to do adequate
justice to. In viewing this
SPLENDID EXHIBITION or THE FOUNDER AND

FATHER or BRITISH HISTORICAL PAINTING,
The nation at large will lament that in times like these,
when the march of intellect and improvement has made
such rapid strides, so great a treasure as

- AIR. WEST'S GALLERY
Should be left to the hazard and uncertainty of the ham-
mer; it was surely not appreciating too highly the English
taste and liberality to contemplate

THE BRITISH INSTITUTION AND
NATIONAL GALLERY

Becoming the depository of this entire Collection, and thus
transmit to posterity a proud record of what could be accom-
plished by an Englishman, and in that peculiar art, which
had so long remained in its infancy. It was by the
generous devotion of his pencil to the noblest aim of his
profession, that first brought British Painting into direct
association with the Throne, and raised it into an object of
national importance in the mind of his Sovereign. It will
almost partake of the work of supererogation to state, that
until the year 1768, Historical Painting was in no wise
encouraged in England, and the immortal West encoun •
tered the trial in fear and trembling : how well he suc-
ceeded future generations will acknowledge,—and the pre-
sent will, it is believed, add their concurring testimony.—
For this proud testimonial of having raised the character
of English Historical Art, the public are mainly indebted
to the kind and fostering eneonrigement of his
LATE MAJEST)t, GEORGE TUE THIRD,

Who, in the singleness of his mind, and unbounded libe-
rality, commanded the late President to paint TWENTY-
TWO PICTURES, tO adorn

THE ROYAL CHAPEL IN WINDSOR.
Our pre.ent Monarch was graciously pleased to restore to
Mr. West's family these precious gems; they include the
SUBLIME COMPOSITION,
MOSES RECEIVING THE LAWS,

The universal Deluge and the Crucifixion of Our Saviour.
The remaining ones are all appropriate for Altar Pieces.
It would fae exceed the limit of an advertisement to men-
tion separately all the Pictures: a very few will demon-
strate the treat which is in store for those who have not
been so fortunate as to see them.

CHRIST REJECTED BY THE JEWS,
(And for which 10,0001. was refused) was exhibited in
Pall-mall, and 240,000 persons were gratified by a sight
of it.
