EXHIBITION-MDCCCX.

No.• 113. Portrait of Mrs. Dickons, as Margarita, in
No Sokg no Sumer.—Sir W. BEECHEY, R. A.—This
is tolerably correct and animated, but a rather vulgar
likeness of the celebrated Singer ; the picture is
painted with a fine breadth of light and shadow, but
the colouring has rather too much of the hue of cray-
ons ; the figure stands well relieved from the back.
ground.
104. A Bunch of Keys.-41. W. SHARP.—An imi-
tation of the painters of the Spanish school. A very
laboured little picture, resembling a cross child ap.
peased by its nurse with the rattling of a bunch of
keys. The expression in the faces of the figures is
strained out of nature, and the contrasts in the co.
louring are too violent and gaudy. We do not like
these pieces of pictorial mimicry.
100, Village Choristers rehearsing an Anthem for Sun-
day.—E. BlRD.—This is Mr. Bird's principal picture;
and in the design, composition, and colouring of it,
he treads, indeed very closely, upon the heels of the
absentee Wilkie. The scene is the interior of a re-
spectable cottage, or small farm house, in which a
set of decent mechanics, &c. are assembled on Satur-
day night, to render the very becoming task which
they have imposed upon themselves, that described in
the Catalogue, as perfect as their abilities will ad-
mit. All are attentive to their several parts, as vo-
cal and instrumental performers, between whom a
most characteristic distinction is made by the painter,
expressive of the superior intelligence of the latter, in
regard to scientific acquirement ; we particularly call
the attention of the spectator to a violincello player
on the left hand side of the picture. The other cha-
racters are strongly discriminated, so that their diffe-
rent professions may be tolerably well guessed at.—
This picture is painted altogether in a very chaste
stile ; the drawing is correct ; the general tone of
colouring sober ; and the pencilling easy and flowing.
99. Titania.—H. HOWARD, R. A.—There is much
of the rich fancy of Shakespear, displayed in his Mid-
summer Night': Dream, transferred to the canvass of
the artist in this design. The composition is also
classical, the colouring brilliant, and the entire execu-
tion that of a most highly finished cabinet picture.
114. Titania, Puck, &c —H. THOMSON, R. A.—
From the same play as the above, and nearly the
same subject, but the painter has here given a rather
more licentious rein to his imagination than his bro-
ther Academician. The figure of Titania is bey :tch-
ingly wanton, but not gross, while that of Puck is
represented as, the most wicked little wag we ever be-
held. It is altogether a sweetly connected and well-
coloured composition.
110. Portrait of Sir .E.yre Coote.—M. A. SHER, R.
lA.—This is one of the most forcible and gaily pain-
ted portraits in the Exhibition ; the likeness is ex-
tremely animated.; the figure well harmonizes with
the background, by a happy management, which sub-
dues the glare, without taking from the rich effect of
the military dress. We lament that this Artist, who
can write so well on the subject of painting, should
confine himself altogether to the portrait department
of the art ; but we suppose he finds his account in it.

Stonehouse Fair, which commenced on Wednesday
and closed on Friday last, was extremely well attend-
ed throughout. Among the shew of cattle, which
was large, were two beautiful oxen, the largest ever
reared in that part of the kingdom ; they were fed at
Mount-Edgcumbe farm, entirely on turnips and hay.
These fine animals were slaughtered on Saturday, for
the use of the Royal Marine Barracks. They mea-
s wed, when alive, tin feet in girth, were five feet
eight inches high, and' eight feet ten inches in length.
After they were purchased, they were led through the
Royal Marine-square, Plymouth, decorated with
ribbands ; the band, at the same time, playing—
gg 0 the Roast Beef of Old England."
In addition to the Forty Capital Prizes which the
Scheme of tke present Lottery contains, the first num-
ber drawn a Prize above £1.5, will be entitled to 400
Tickets, which are deposited in the Bank of England
(each Class receiving One Hundred Tickets, in four
of a Number), by which plan One Ticket may gain
£100,000; Shares in proportion. RICTIARDSON,
GOODLUCK, and Co. beg leave to point this out to their
Friends and the Public, as likewise to remind them
that they Sold Two of the Four Prizes of £20,000 in
the last Lottery.

The following was sent to Mrs. Richardson, of Manchester,
by the Rev. W. Sibrester, of Sandhach, Cheshire Madam—
You have long wished me to send you the case of the child I was
mentioning to you ; the circumstances are as follow : in April last,
a child belonging to James and Elizabeth Yates, of Brookhouso-
Green, near Congleton, was taken exceedingly ill, owing to the
cutting of its teeth. tich was the effect of the disorder, that
from a very fine healthy boy about eleven months old, he was re-
duced to a skeleton and entirely taken off his feet ; he bad seve-
ral convulsion fits, and his death was hourly expected. They
sent fur a surgeon, who lanced his gums, but without any good
effect. They then applied for the Am ER ICA N Soo r man SY An r ;
a friend gave them half a bottle; on the first application of which
the child had immediate ease, and before the whole was used he
was perfectly restored."-11:it parents have since declared to the
above Gentleman, that it was their firm belief this medicine was
the means, in the hand of Gon, of saving their child's life.—To
be had of the Proprietors, J. Johnson and Co. No. 94, Newman-

NO Medicine is so well calculated, or has better
succeeded in giving relief in numerous bad Cues of Sero-
phula, than SPILSBURI"B PATENT ANTISCORBUTIC
DROPS. A trial will prove this, and convince even the tender
anxiety of parents when the glands become first swelled and
diseased, or the usual symptoms of scrophulous enlargement of
the stomach in children takes place. In eruptive cases of Scurvy,
Gout, Rheumatism, and Nervous Irritation of the Stomach from
bilious affections, its superiority has long been acknowledged.—

expressed on the bottle, bill of direction, and outside wrapper,

GRAVEL, STONE, AND LUMBAGO.
HICKMAN's PILLS is an effectual Cure for the
Gravel and Stone, stoppage of Wrine, Complaints iu the
Back and Loins, Kidneys, and Bladder, Lumbago, &c.
Of the venous complaints incider.t to the human frame, there
are none more dreadful in their nature, nor more alarming in
their consequences, than the Gravel and Stone. They are com-
pltiets which every person, even the most abcentioti., is
liable, as the air we breathe and the water we drink are impreg-
nated with particles which not only cause these excruciating tor-
tures, but area foundation for every other spec'es of disorder.
HICK stAN's Original Pm Ls, composed of the must innocent in-
gredients, have been found of singular ethicacy, in not only
strengthening the vessels containing the urine, but happily de-
stroying the petrifying quality of it, trout which proceed the
above complaints, &c. removing the calculi, or gritty concretising,
and banishing every pernicious tendency to those disorders, with-
out confinement.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
'THE Advantage the Public must always. derive
.1 from regularly educated professional men directing almost
exclusively their studies to one specks of malady, was never more
clearly demonstrated than by the unexampled success which has
attended the administration of their new remedy, and the extraor-
dinary cures it has performed. For a long series of years Messrs.
CURRIE and Co. Surgeons, formerly in his Majesty's service, have
made the Venereal Disease the particular object of their investi-
gation, and are happy in having discovered a medicine superior to
mercury, in the cure of that complaint; it it sufficient to observe,
that the effects of this remedy are diametrically opposite to those
of mercury, for though it completely eraditates every vestige of
the virus, in its most confirmed stages, yet it does not in the least
injure the constitution ; on the contrary, it renovates the system
in all its natural functions, promotes appetite, and facilitates di-
gestion; thus instead of reducing a strong and vigorous constitu-
don to the frightful condition that mercury does, it not onlyipre-
serves that constitution in its primitive state, but restores aweak
and debilitated one to its natural strength and vigour. Number-
less instances are on recent record of the superior efficacy of this
medicine, its inherent and specifio virtues acting as a perpetual
corrective to bodily debility, whether proceeding from an excess
of conjugal or illicit pleasure, or from the mote insidious, though
not less destructive, indulgence of incautious youth of both sexes
in a certain pernicious habit. 'Amidst the melancholy variety of
disorders which are the consequence of this solitary vice, there are
none more afflicting than that distressing state of debility and de-
ficiency which prevents or embitters the matrimonial state; the
unhappy sufferer broods over his misfortune, ashamed to seek re-
lief, until lie is reduced to such a state of weakness as to render
life oppressive. To such persons it must be a consoling reflec-
tion to know, that they may nor, by a new infallible mode of
treatment, be restored to that greatest of all hunianblessings, a
strong, manly and vigorous constitution,
In all cases of debility, deficiency, from whatever cause arising,
as well as in every species of venereal infection, Messrs. Currie
and Cu. may be consulted by patients of either sex with the
greatest secrecy, and honour, at their house, No. 107, Hatton-
