tures of the original, be has not obscured and overwhelmed them
with the accidental deformities induced by age. An historical
portrait-painter will, in his work, after the precept and example
of Remotes, avoid as carefully the heavy fleshiness which age
and infirmities create in some subjects, as be will the equally
culpable, though more palatable practice of Sir Thomas Lew-
mince (otherwise the greatest portrait-painter in existence) whose
portraits in senility have all the bloom and freshness of youth.
The King's likeness on this Crown Piece is, we repeat, one of
the few dignified representations of the original which we have
seen ; it has more of real character, and less of accidental change
arising from age, than we have observed in any former Medal. The
air is firm and dignified, with a peculiar and forcible expres-
sion in the lips and eye-brows; the neck is finely formed,
and the hair encircled by a wreath, which is plain and simple ;
.the curl,: of the hair are not frittered away into small and trifling
parts, but formed in broad serpentine floes, which flow at ohcr
naturally and gracefully.
The reverse of this Crown Piece is uncommonly beautiful.
The arms are quartered in the form of a cross, as ea the old
shillings of the different reigns of the House of liausswu:e.
and their predecessors of the Stealers. Some fine specimens of
this arrangement of the Royal Arms are to be found in the best
coins of Cusazes 11. If it were not originally designed. by
Snaox, whose . medallic skill was so celebrated, it was at kast
chastened and finished by that Artist in a superior degree. Mr.
Musa has, in the new Medal, re-cast, as it were, the style of
the ornamental cross, which, in some of our past coins, dis-
played the Royal Arun, and rendered it in effect uncommonly
beautiful. 'fire arms of the cross are formed of four shields;
one with the usual armorial bearings of three lions, a second
with the lion rampant, a third with the harp, the fourth with
the horse, the Hanoverian emblem ; the shields of the three
first in order, surmounted with the British Crown, the fourth
by the Crown of Ceeatastausa. The centre of the field Is
formed by a small and beautiful representation of the device of
St. George and the Dragon, encircled by the Garter motto, front
which spring four tasteful branches that intersect the field be-
tween the armorial bearings—the Rose, the Shamrock, the TAi♦
tie, and the Horse of Hanover, cap these branches respectively.
The execution of the reverse is beautiful in the extreme, and ff.
fleets the highest credit upon Mr. Mitts, a young Artist, who
has been patronized by Mr. WEST (whose Medal he struck), by
Mr. CHANTRY, the Sculptor, and many other eminent Artist*.
The shields on the reverse equal any thing we have ever seen in
this branch of Art, for delicacy of execution and inimitable
finishing. The raised protecting .4c is also skilfully eactrived i
is presents a sufficient protection by a raised and delicate thread,
instead of a thick and heavy cording, and answers every real
inorpose for which it is intended, withouttrespassing upon the
fine polished field, the even surface of which affords a dazzling
relief to the ornamental parts.
This pattern piece ahews at least what English Artistaanight
have done at an Engliik Mint, had it been deemed more seemly
by the Gentleman who has £4,000 a-year for judging, and who
is no doubt the best judge, that an Englisk Artist should have
been tried before an Italian were introduced. But we must take
the business as we find it—our Coin will go forth with Signor
Pnreucci's name to the world, and our Medals will at the same
time shew what oar Artists can do. The Public can never be
at a loss to make a tolerably fair estimate, when they have the
Coin and this pattern-piece before them :—the one in its most'
essential parts fleshy, unseemly, and undefined ; the other bear-
ing the strong marks of genuine taste and proper discrimination
of character ; and furnishing evidence to the Nations of Europe,
that though medallic Att has not been cultivated in this country
under the direct patronage of the State, it has yet attained a
perfection under the patriotic encouragement of private indivi-
duals, which has not been surpassed by the effect of the more
munificent patronage uniformly held out to it in other States,
and which, we fear, had unfortunately induced a belief (by this
time from recent events pretty well dissipated) that on the Con-
tinent alone could Artists be found, competent to superintend
and execute the new Coinage for the use of Great Britain.

Cssiva Svaattsta.—Tuesday, a little girl, fiveyears old, named
Margaret Hemmingway, was at play with some other children in
Red. Lion-market, Saint Lake s, when a Lady, dressed in the
first style of. elegance and fashion, decayed the child away with
the promise of buying her some fruit ; several of the other chit-
dren wanted to accompany their play-mate, but the Lady toid
them to return, and she would send them some; neither her not
the child, however, have been seen or heard of since. The mo-
ther of the child has kept her bed ever since she heard of the Iflift,
and little hopes are entertained of her recovery,
REMOVAL OF cONVICTB.--Yesterday morning, at
a very early hour, .twenty-five male convicts were
removed from Newga:e, in a caravan, to be conveyed
to Sheerness, in order to their being ultimately
transported to Botany Bay. The caravan was met
on the Surrey side of Blackfriars Bridge, by a di-
vision of Lancers, who were to accompany them to
Sheerness. The convicts were principally boys, not
exceeding 18 years of age, and among them were a
few of the West-End Fair gang.
