THE FINE -ARTS'.

An allegorical coloured Drawing, by Mr. FRANCIS
0/!MEIN, has recently attracted the particular notice
of the connoisseun, and acquired a considerable de,
gree of celebrity to an ingenious and modest young
Artist. it may be regarded as a magnificent tribute
to the genii's of the" British Nation, and exhibits the
following elegant and classical allegory :
England places the sceptre of het pewee and glory In the haods
of
the Prince of Waxes, who treads nod& foot .the itifurementi
of Pleasure, in order to attend to the interests of.his People. Tite
iisober of Hope is by his side ; the Zephyrs support his &adrift,
- end the sign of the Virgin in the zodiac indicates his natal day.
Jealousy, Rapine. Perfidy, and Calumny are seen flying from his
pa:esti:ice: Strength, Clemency, and Concord, serroend him:
Virtue, seated beside the bust of his august Father, eltrnis het
arms towards him. Glory, and the Genius of Albion, exhibit to
hie view the names of the Princes, who have been the benefactors
of their country : Victory points to a crowd of Heioie (haPpy
presage of the new reign!), among whom she chiefly distingsfshes
two: one of them, by a bold'enterprist, has achieved the ma-
gnetic of an Island essential to the prosperity of his einintryo; and
the other, as the consequence of a conduct equally wise and judi-
dons bas merited the double sirname of Fabius and Scipio t.
Abundance, the Arts and Sciences, Beauty and the Graces,
rest upon the arm of the rives Thames. Neptune and Amybi-
take, with various sea divinities In their train, actroach to ton-
template the new Sovereign, who ie about to take upon him the,
empire of the Sea. Ohl Ocean regards with pride the celebrated
lilt, Where Commerce and Industry are seated, and where the
palm-tree and the laurel of Victory spread their luxuriant foliage.
The Tutelar Star of lifitain and 'be Rainbow of good Fortune
shed their radiance over the whole groups; the thunder of
IitAVEN dispels the Hrtra of invasion, dittoed, and anarchy;
Which would disturb the general harmony.
The All-seeing Eye of Pawns:miter, placed at the apex of the
picture, watches eternally over this great and !bullshit's Empire,
in tfth;ch Justice, Liberty, and Hospitality bare taken up their
gesisi abode.

anittrda 'nn yse ght, some fire sparks or embers i
front a cbimaey having fallen upon the thatch of
farm house, near Tinwald Downs, Dumfries, occu-
pied by Mr. Smith, the premises were quickly in a
blaze, which was not extinguished uacil the whole ,
steaair.g, including a barn and a quantity of hay,
was consumed. Two families were thus deprived ofd
their habitations.

Sunday, Mr. T. SOWililt, watch-maker, Doncaster,
was unfortunately drowned, as he was bathing in the
river.- Desirous to learn to swim, he had first hail the'
precaution to have a rope tied round his waist, for,
the purpose of pulling him back, whenever he should
be in danger—but,ellinking himself able to de with;
out this, he had thrown the rope !aside, and advanced
into the middle of the river without it, when he sad-.
clenly sunk, nor could assistance be given, till be
finally sank to rise no more.
A melancholy accident occurred on the Humber
last Saturday. A boat, containing thyee persons,
who had been catching shrimps un the sands, was
upset by the violence of the wind' and surf, on the
Middle Ground, near Stalling**Wet. The acci-
dent was observed by a brick-mater, on the Lincoln-
shire shore, but, from the state of the tide and wind,
It was utterly impossible to render any assistance : the
whole were lost—and, what adds to the painful ca-
tastrophe is, that DAVID DUNCAN, one of the sufferers,
has left a wife 'and six small children bereft of their
only dependence for support. 'The names of the other
Unfortunate men were A. WARDEN, fisherman, and
T.*.Aituati, son of Mr. Aims:v, in the Custom house.

'which; upon examination, was found to 'contain re

platting of goal materials.. The consequence Was,'
that this cable 'eyes of much less real than apparent

COTT? v. Dian.

This was an actionsimilar to the last, in wh►ch the
defendant had manufactured an insufficient cable ;
and the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, with
damages treble the amount of the cable.

BROOKE V. SPEERINO.

This was an issue out of the Court of Chancery, to
try whether the plaintiff was Lord of the Manor of
Warder, in the Isle of Sheppey ? 2dly, whether, as
Lord, he was entitled to all the stones found on the
beach, being the wastes of the said manor ? Sdly,
whether he was entitled ,to the sofittereg stores found
on the sea-beach ? and, 4thly, whether he was enti-
tled td the slay nodules, out of which Parker's Cement
is made, found on the sea-beach of the said manor?
This was a question of considerable importance be-
tween the Landholders and Lords of Manors in the
Isle of Sheppey, the important question being, who is
entitled to the cement stones found on the beach—the
Lord claiming them as part of the Royalty of the
Manor, and the Landlords claiming them as being
washed oUt of their land by the action of the sea ?--
The plaintiff proved his title to the Manor, and his
right of wreckage on the shore. It was then stated,
and agreed to by the Learned Judge, that it followed,
as a consequence of law, the shore was part of the
senate of the Manor, and that the-Lord was trivia facie
entitled to every thing found upon it, as being in the
nature of an estray. The defendant then produced
his title-deeds, by which it appeared a former Lord
had granted away the copperas stones. His Lord-
ship, therefore, directed the itiry to find, that the
plaintiff was possessed of the Manor and its royalties;
that he was not entitled to the copperas stones, but
that he was entitled to the clay nodules, and all other
stones, except copperas stones. •

BROOKE 12. SMITH.

This was another action by the same plaintiff
against a defendant, whose land adjoined to the shore,
for picking and carrying away cement stones from
the sea•beach, in the Island of Sheppey. The de-
fendant justified, that the stones had fallen from the
cliff, which was his own land.
By the evidence ft appeared, that the sea made
daily encroachments on the southern shore of the
Island of Sheppey, and that some times half an acre
would fall at a time, and that the land so washed
down contained masses of clay nodule, which were
separated- by the action of the sea. But it was also
'moved, that the defendant had taken a great quan-1
city of stones which 'had not fallen from his cliff.
His Lofdship stated the case to be, that the Land-'
bolder was entitled to what fell from his own land, if
he took it up directly while it was capable of being
identified ; but if it remained so that its identity ;odd'
not be ascertained, it belonged to the Lord.
The Jury found for the plaintiff-,-Damages sel7o.
