RU AL ACADEMr.

IR. Tigers.—S. GILPIN, R. A.—This is a very
good sketch, hut is nothing more than a (ketch.
Subjeds of this defcription fhould have fomefinifh-
ing bellowed upon them to make them of fufficient
confequence to hold a place in a national exhibi-
ti,n, particularly when coming from an atrift of
eftablithed reputation, and a Royal Academician.
56. Portrait of Earl Cowper.—J. LAWRENCE, R.
A.—This is a finely executed portrait, and a col,
red likenefs, but the effect produced is by meretri-
cious means. We fincerely with an artift of fuch
great merit could bring hirnfelf to paint in a more
legitimate Ilile. The clearnefs and btil:iancy fo
much admired in the proJudions of the Venetian
fchool were not produced by glazing and varnyting.
61. Portrait of his Royal Ifighnsfi the Duke of Cum-
herland.—Sir W. BEECH EY, R. A.— In this portrait,
which is one of the bell in the Exhibition, the artift
has very fuccefsfully charaderifed the peculiarity
difccrnable in the vilion of his Royal Highnefs.l
He appears in the uniform of his regiment, which
is very elegant and pidurefque.
135. 140. Cupidflung by a Bee, Es'c. Two deign:
from Anacreon.—B. Wert., R. A.—The Prctident
this year has been very claffical in the choice of
feveral of his fuldeCts. Thefe are very pleating
compotitions, not highly finithed, but richly colour-
ed. The artift, perhaps by a poetical licence, re-
prefents the " Urchin God," though diminutive
in fixture, proportioned as an adult. This may
be admiffible, but it has a very fingular effttl.
160. Richard and Kate, or Fair-Day.—Mils SP I LS-
BUItY.—This lady greatly improves, both in her
Rile and execution. In this pidttre the army is
well told, and there is much natural expreffiun in
the faces of all the figures introduced.
08. Mr. Emery, in the charatter of yobn Lump.—
S. DE WILDE.—Mr. De Wilde, for a number of
years, has been the fuccefsful delineator of thea-
trical portraits, but in the prefent inftance he has
been lefs fortunate than ufual. The character of
John Lump is very well preferved, but the repre
tentative is not Emery.
7 . Gaut:, &c. at Bowes, on the Ganges, Es'c.—
T. DANIEL, R. A.—To Mr. Daniel's pidures in
general we cannot refufe the tribute of almoft
un-
qualified praife. This is one of the molt beautiful
of them : a grandeur of defign, a breadth of light
and thadow, and a bold firmnefs of touch, prevail
tin onghout : perhaps here and there the yellow
and blue exhibit too thong a contrail. Thefe few
obfervations apply to every picture the produdion
of this gentleman in the Exhibition.
522. Portrait of the Marquis of Exeter.—M. A.
Salts, R. A.—A very fine likenefs, and a cub-
ftantially executed pidure in all its parts.
4oS. Portrait of Mr. D. Davis.—J. LONSDALE.
—The colouring of this portrait is foil and good—
the pofition eafy : the whole thews the pencil of
no common artill.

The Stibfcribers to Mr. PITT'S Statue have re.
folvcd to let the money colleeted accumulate at in-
tereit in the funds till Mr. PITT'S demise. We fee
in the Subfcription the name of" THOMAS ARIS"
for five guineas. Whether this be the Governor or
not we are not certain.

Two young m:n at Edinburgh, in confequence
of fome difputc, agreed to decide their quarrel on
Sunday fennight, according to the prevailing
mode, by Olio's ; but the Procurator Fifcal of
the county having received information of thcfe
irregular proceedings, the young mem were taken
into cuflody, brought before, and examined by
the Sheriff, who very properly fined each of them
in ten guineas, for a breach of the public peace,
payable to the Houfe of Indutlry, betides expences,
and granted a warrant to commit them to prifon
until they found fecurity for their good behaviour
for twelve months, under the penalty of tool.

The Rcv. T. GREEN, of Middleton Cheney,
Northampton hire, in a letter of April 27, 1802,
addrelfed to B. D. PERKINS, feveral remarkable
Cures by the Tradors ; among them is the fol-
lowing Cafe, which is requeßed to be publifhed.

CA se. —St. Vitus'. Dance.—" A man of this place, aged $7
had been for fome years afflifted with that Complaint, and
which of late had continued to increafe. It affected him
chiefly by paroxyfms, which generally took place about three
times in fourteen days. Being one day (hocked at fecing him
very much agitated, and recolleding to have read a cure of a
fimilar cafe in one of your publications, I drew the Tradtors
down over his knees, which appeared to be the parts molt af-
fected, about half an hour from which be evidently derived
much relief. I ufed the Traetors on the two preceding morn-
ings only, and performed a curt ! It is above two months fin ce,
and he remains well."
