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 sightof it.
DEATH ON THE PALE HORSE,
Representing the opening of the first five Seals : the effect
proposed to be excited by this Picture is the terribly sub-
lime, and its various modifications, until lost in the oppo-
site extremes of pity and horror,--a sentiment which
Painting had not, until then, attempted successfully to
awaken. This is indeed a chef d'oeuvre ; and the same
panegyric might be safely pronounced on the remaining
150 Pictures. The space allotted for this purpose is,
however, insufficient, and this imperfect description will
end by intreating especial attention to the following :
Expulsion of Adam and Eve The Overthrow of the Old
The Deluge Beast and False Prophet
Abraham and Isaac Telemachus and Mentor on
The Resurrection • the Island
Peter and John Cicero discovering the Tomb
The Three Marys of Archimedes
The Brazen Serpent Death of Wolfe
Saul Prophesying Mark Anthony showing the
St. Paul shaking the Viper Rube and Will of Cesar.
Christ healing the Infirm

Thus has Mr. West left for the admiration of the pre-
sent and succeeding generations,
A SUBLIME SERIES OF PICTURES,

From Sacred and Profane History, Poetry, and ori•
ginal fancy, including the greater portion of the labour of
his long and meritorious life, as
THE ONLY LEGACY FOR HIS CHILDREN.
In Americ I, the exhibition of one of Mr. West's Pic-
tures,—The Healing of the Infirm in the Temple,—(which
he presented to the Hospital of Philadelphia gratuitously),
produced a sum sufficient to perpetuate the maintenance of
twenty-five Pensioners, besides 1,800 guineas to build
a room to receive it. To conclude, Sir Thomas Law-
rence, at the distribution of Prizes to the Students of
the Royal Academy, eulogized the late venerable Prz,..:
sident thus :—" His works were not only superior to.
any former productions of English art, but far surpass..
ing contemporary merit on the continent—were un-
quailed at any period below the School of the

IN SHROPSHIRE,
BORDERING ON WORCESTERSHIRE.

The Coton Estate, with a superior Residence, Gardens,
and Grounds, a very fine Freehold Investment, includ-
ing upwards of 1,560 Acres of excellent Land, in a
Ring Fence, and Tithe Free ; Four Manors, extending
_ _

over 5,000 Acres of Land, with the Adrowson ;
Paper and Corn Mill, superior Farm-houses, and the
Public-house midway between Kidderminster and
Bridgenorth, and Woods abounding with Game; the

present value 2,7001. a-year.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS has great satis-
faction in announcing that he is directed to SELL
by AUCTION, on THURSDAY, May 21, at Twelve, in
One Lot, at the Auction Mart, London, a singularly ad-
vantageous Investment for Capital, comprehending

THE COTON MANSION AND ESTATE,
THE ADVOWSON OF ALVELEY,

AND 1,560 ACRES OF EXCELLENT LAND,

TITHE PEER,
AND IN A RING FENCE,

very desirably situate on the borders of Shropshire, the
Turnpike Road from
BATH THROUGH WORCESTER

to SHREWSBURY and HOLYHEAD passing through
the Property. There are so many and such self-evident
advantages connected with this Investment, that a few
of the more prominent will exhaust the usual limit of an
advertisement. There are
FOUR MANORS,
EXTENDING OVER THE WHOLE PARISH,
OF 5,000 ACRES,

which has an immensity of Game upon it, independently
of ROYALTIES, HERIOTS, CHIEF RENTS, AND ♦PPURTE-
NANCES. The Residence is of modern structure, ADAPTED
TO A FAMILY OF GREAT RESPECTABILITY, built of Free-
stone, at an expense exceeding 12,0001. It is delightfully
situate, and environed by Pleasure Grounds and Plantations,
laid out in good taste, and presenting A PARE-LICE
AP-
PEARANCE. The Kitchen-gardens are extensive and en-
compassed by lofty walls ; the Offices connected with the
Residence are very commodious and good. The FARM-
HOUSES ARE EXCELLENT, the Agricultural Buildings of the
best description, and the Tenantry highly respectable. Ths

WOODS ABOUND WITH PHEASANTS.
There is Gravel and Freestone upon the Estate, and it is
hardly doubtful that

COAL AND IRON
may he included in the long list of inviting properties con-
nected with the Estate. The Markets in the vicinity ars
good, and the river Severn approximating upon the Cotes
Property, gives additional facility to the export of the pro-
duce to 'distant markets. There are Corn and Water Mills,
and the INN ON THE ROAD MIDWAY BETWEEN BRIDUE-
NORTH AND KIDDERMINSTER is an additional feature.
Indeed it would be very difficult to suggest so satisfactory
an Investment, in a County proverbial for all the advan-
tages the most favoured can aspire to.
THE YEARLY VALUE IS £2,700.
