SHIPWRECK.

A letter from Garden'town rays—On Tuefday the 19th
inßant we had a very hard gale from W. S. W. whelk increafed
towards afternoon to a complete hurricane, abating only by
Stott intervals throughout t'•e night. Nest morning a variety
of wreck, feattered along the Store, announced the ueltrudlion
of fome veffel at no great diftance. Some of the inhabitants,
eager to make a farther dircovery, went to furvey the weft
rocks, where, from the top of a itupendous promontory. in a
curved more, called Whaleeove, they dikovered a large mars
of wreck, which convinced than that this bad been the feene
of the unfortunate event they had anticipated. Adtuated by a
kirk of enterprifing humanity, fome yowl • tfttn adventured to
cravrl down the tremendous precipice, and notwithitanding the
fluctuating and furious flaps of wind peculiar to the time and
place, actually defeendcd the depth of 900 feet perpendicular.
On reaching the bottom of the rock, their attention and feelings
were fuddenly inter, .red in a very ftriking objedt indeed—the
only furvivor of an unfortunate crew (eleven in number) in-
sulated on a rock near the wreck, in whom the tide of life was
left ebbing ! our was it till low water that thefe laudable ad-
venturers were able to refcue him from this dread afylum.—
Thia, however, at loft they happily eitedted; and fucceeded,
weak and bruifed as he was, in bringing him tale up the
hill—an atchievement which any ftranger wade. certainly

. -
pronounce impolfible. The wreck proves to be the Reliance
of blewealtle. William Allen, 'snifter, 41 tuns swifter ;
isl.ed Bons Shields on the s 7th, coal-laden for Jamaica,—
'I be bodies of fix of the crew have been found and interred.—

with Captain Allen on the 16th, of courfe was very little ac-
quainted with his thipmatest bat thinks three of them were

BRRIBITION, ISos.

In every part of the Exhibitioa of the firth&
year we lament to fee fo great a difproportion of
Portraits prevail ; neither are there any pictures
which, by their magnitude, command particular
attention. We that' notice tome of the moR con-
fpicuous.

NO. 7. A Calm, wish Kfiernen dragging net.—
R. FR SEBAIRN.—There is a delicacy of pencilling
difcernable in the productions of this Artill which
always deferves refpeaful notice.—The picture
before us is executed in his belt le : the water is
beautifully tranfparent, and the aerial peripelive
is well underflood ; but the whole wants force.
RIO. A Storm—..SAMß ARTS S —This, we fop-
pofe, is intended as a companion to the above.—
The landfcape is altogether a fanciful compofition,
coloured after the manner of the Roman fchool.
It is a better picture, in refpeet to general execu-
tion, than the other, but it exhibits lets of nature.
It is alfo defective in force.

16. rik to the Cottage, or doathing the Naked—i
J. One, R. A.—This is, perhaps, the bell piaure !
of the kind in the Exhibition. The defign is that '
of a benevolent Lady, canting the children of al
cottager to be (tripped of their tattered apparel,
and re-clad. It does honour to the feelings of the
painter. A fweet little (Name faced boy occupies
the centre of the pieture, and the figure of the
Lady, who is picking out fuch cloaths as (he thinks'
will fuit him, is moll graceful. an excellence not
heretofore peculiar to the produCtions of this ar
till.—The colouring of the whole pieture is ex-
tremely rich, and the diltribution of light and fhade
molt happy.
Is. Portrait of her Royal Ikhotfi the Prinreff
Au-
grrfla—M. W. SHARP.—The attitude in which Mr.
Sharp has placed the figure of her Royal High-
nefs is not graceful, and the charatier which he
has given to the face, though the features in de i
tail are Ur, is not that of the exalted perfonage
who has honoured him with a fitting.—The figure
is, however, well coloured, and produces a good
general effect.
21. Portrait of Lord Thurloeo--T. LAWRENCE,
R. A.—A very tine likenefs of this venerable Peer.
painted with great folidity of touch and truth of
colouring. Mr. LawrEnce is commendably getting
nut of that glitter of manner which has diain-
guilhed his piltures for fame years.
46. A Shooting Party going eld—W. R. Bic c. R.
A.—This picture is mad'e up of parallels and right
angles, otherwife it is well defigned, and coloured
with a good knowledge of the effects of nature.

(To be cont:nued.)

Yetlerday was moll unfavourable for them exlyi-
&don, of the Cs MNPT Sws r as. The rain, indeed,
compelled moll of them o Ray at home, fo that
there were but few non rodent Clergymen.
At Newmarket, on Tuefday laft, the following
horfes were put up by auftion, and bought in at
the following prices, viz. Highlandfling, 44ogs;
Alkgrantt, togs; and Strathhey, 165 gs.
Yeflerday Mr. Warru st am's Appeal againft the
Poor Rate of the Parifh of St. Bride's, came on to
be heard at the General Garter Seflions at Guild-
hall, when the Court qua(hed the rate.

Yeßerday the Water Bailiff prefented two large
porpoifes to the Right. Hon. the LORD MAYOR,
which had been caught in the River Thames. The
two fithermen, who were the means of catching
them, were paid 6s. each for their trouble, being
the ofual fee.

A new Table of Rates, by which the Fares of
Waterman are regulated, has been at length male
out by the Court of Aldermen, under the authority
of four Members of the Privy Council, and began
to take place this day. All perfons hiring boats
will now know what they are to pay; and Water-
men can no longer, with impunity, refufe to take
a fare when called upon; becaufe they are obliged,
under a penalty of +as. to carry, in their bats,
badges containing the number of their boats.

Sroartno.—K number of fpedators yefierday
attended at Copenhagen Houle. near Iflington, to
witnefs the following match between the well.
known Burk and a man named Grindley, a fhoe
maker. The match was. tit, te fight three rounds
for so guineas; ad, to run too yards for so gui-
neas ; and 3d, to leap di Rance for so guineas. In
the fight Bark hit his antagonift fo revere a blow
between the eyes that he gave in. They then ran
and I -qped, in both which Grist/lay was vidorictus,
and calfequently g.tinrcl the money.
The tB:d Anniverfary of the Landing of the
Engli(h Settlers at Plymouth. in New England.

ROl4/111 ALTAR.—Lately was dug up, about a
mile fouth of Kirk Andrews upon Eden, and a•
bout three miles welt of CarliOe (in a riling ground,
known by the name of Kirkfteads, and rkfembling
a church-yard) a Roman Altar, about four feet
four inches in height, two feet in breadth, and four.
teen inches in thicknefs ; with the following infcrip-
lion thereon, quite diftinift, in (even lines, viz.

Livialva Vic—Todiaus El—Caellames Leg VI
Vie—dlobreftrais—Vallevis Pro—Spcniellas.

The Altar has a hollow-or cup, on the top, ahont
two inches deep. and twelve or thirteen in breadth.

Many (tones, curioney carved, have been founil
at that place ; Inch as fragments of pilLars, Rattles,
&c. tome with infcriptions, but none legible except
the above. The fituation is about a mile fouth of
the Pies Wall ; and it is moil probable, it has been
a Roman Salim.
