A terrible difafter befel a poor lad at a colliery,
in the neighbourhood of Swainet Moor Edge, near '
Halifax, on Saturday fe'nnight. James Scott, aged
144 had no !boner afcended to the mouth of the pit,
than perceiving that the bankfman had quitted his
ftatimi, and that an ungovernable horfe at the gin
was lest to the management of a child, he vehemently
cried out " I (hall be killed l" which exclamation
was fcarcely uttered before it was verified ; for im-
mediately his head was nearly fevered from his body
spina the top of the machinery, and his limbs, with
a percullion that would have defrayed a giant were
lan broken. To complete the awful fcene, his
mangled (and almo( lifelefs) body was

EXHIBITION 047.
199. Portrait cf. Sir. Samud HOPPIIER,
R. A.—A very corral iikenefs of this gallant officer,
but the figure does not well projed from the back
ground, which is painted in a cold slovenly mariner,
that the artift appears to think calculated to give
effect to the colouring of the principal (Ned. When
a pielorial critic of high anthority•ohferred, that a.
hack wound fhonld partake of the whole contents of
the painter's pallet, he could not mean that the refufe
of it fhould be fkumbled in with a pound br ufh !
266. 4ilelrofi Abbey, acc.•••-j. WARD.—This is a
highly meritorious landfcape, but of a quite different
charaler as a work (.1 art from the preceding, inaf
much as it is a.laboured difplay of fcholaßic know-
' ledge. We do not charge Mr. Ward with not having
given a faithful delineation of the varied and rich
fcenery that furround -Melrofs Abbey, but we object
to the excciti 41 of the work as too fludied an imita
tion of the ftyle of the old matters. Wifhing to be
thought no longer the pupil of MoRLAND, this afpi-
ring artift feems inclined to play truant with Dame
Nature herfolf, in whole fchool honeft George was
certainly a very able ffier, to fay no more or him.

landfcape is placed in a rather oblcure fituation in
the Anti-Room, but its general merits are fuch as to
command notice, not by difplaying any of thole me-
retricious ar is to which many of the leading Painters of
the day have unnecell'ary recourfe, but as exhibiting
effects reflected from theclear fpeculum of Nature. The
• fcenery of the place may indeed be pronounced more
,fafidiouflycorrect than pictorial licence requires, but it
, is not op this account deftitute of graces, which, like
thole in mutit judicioufly thrown in, are made to im-
, provethecompofition withoutdifguifing a fingleorigi.
nal feature. The execution of the water, which is made
inftrumental in diffufing a warm breadth of light, is
particular!! deferving of commendation. 'I his pie.
Lure is alto the produdion of a Caledonian artift.
333. Duncan's Horfis (bride Macbeth.)—S. GILPIN)
R. A.—This is one of the fait produdions of this la
mented artift which we can expect to fee exhibited on
the walls of the Royal Academy. It rnanifells all
that grandeur of defign for which his pictures have
obtained loch celebrity, but it has the appearance of
having been left in an unfinifhed Rate. Black and
white predominate too powerfully.
