EXHIBITION, 1804
14. St. Protratt— J. S. CoPLIT, R.
Mr. Copley's l)eft p;nore ; but in heauty cf colouri
it dies not cq•t:tl tome former produaions of
fame artill. White is too penning a colowr is
chi.. Gentleman's works.

123. Portrait of lir. Hotcroft—j. Otis, R. A.--
A vci y faithful likenefs, and the moll fpiritcd pot.
trait in the Exhibition ; but we fufpca there is forma
trick in the management of the colours, which may
not be able to enfure their liability.
213. A Ifoodinan repiling T. B —Painted in
Mr. 114tker's (thirdly hi nag manner, but the outline
is too krill., and the general died too raw for a
pietnre of fish limited dimenfion, and calculated to
be viewed fo near the eye as in the fituation in which
it is placed.
68. Portrait of lir. Elliflate, ar 088roirse-14. SM.
ctsrom.—A very goad refemblance of the After,
And a firmly painted portrait ; but the colouring of
the plEture, like that of moll of Mr. Singleton's latter
produdions, is cold and chalky.
9t. Tether and Er Father—B. WEST, R. A.—The
old man's head in this pidure is finely delineated,
but there is a want of harmony in the whole defign,
which gives an idea that the different parts were
painted at diftant periods of time. The compofition
is in a grand fiyle, and the colouring in general rich
and mellow.
198. Beggarr—W. Owsit.—Mr. Owen is riling fat
in his piaorial reputation : this is a very intereftins
defign, and the general execution of the piatirejs
concluded on the foundelt principles of theart. Miele
are beggars of no ordinary defcription.
97. . Lanfape and Figvra—R. Coasousrs.—A
very pleating audy of Englifh nature, in which the
aerial profpedive is good, and the local colouring of
the different objects faithfully obferred.
t 93. Portrait of Mrs. Sitololons.—T. LAWltilliClo R.
A.—This is a very correct - likenefs, but the pianre is
not painted in Mr. Lawaracs's bell manner. Tho
whole has too brown and fombre an appearance, OW
is it exaaly charadetiftic of the prefect age of the
Lady reprefented.
183. Boats carrying est rfetriiors, &e.—J. M. W.
Ttra P; ER, R. A.—There is much grandeur in the de.
fign of the piLture, and the objects reprefeated ars
very correB in regard to form, but in his colooiiciina
the artift appears more to have ftudied the c
produced by popular painters than by nature.
192. Piwaon oflain: kave to roadaa tio chariot of as
Sun.—B. W I sr, it. A.—This is a very fplendisf pic-
ture. in which the artift has collefted together a veil
mats of poetical imagery, all in one point of time, and
which he has endeavoured to readerintelligible by n
long profe tranflation from Ovid; it is, however,
after all, a very confufed piece of botinefs, and a
fair
re pantly more defcriptive of the uproar which mi t
be fuppofed to take place in Heaven, after the of
Phaeton,. than before he took charge. of the reins of
his papa's chariot, if it were not that the young
Gentleman cuts a confpicuons figure in the money
groupe, compofed of beings of which the lama
was never yet Peen upoa earth, and therefore not fob.
jeft to terrefirial criticitas.
aoy. Nortifea and Etio..--J. N. W. TORII!, R. A:
—Here again we have another long traidlation
from Ovid, to point out that in the psause which
without it would
ever, as a landfcape, poffeffes a great deal of merit.
There is throughout a good dißribution of light and
fhadnw, and the middle ground and diftance are well
kept, but the whole of the colouring is meagre, and
too a-ffeCtedly imitative of the IMMO' of a &digs
fchool.

330. 7iger-hrating.-1. NOILTNCOTI. R. A.—TMs
is a very fine pieture. It might, however, have been
limply intitled Tigers," as the bunters in the back
ground are too infignifieant to be coofidered as parto
of the compofition. Mr. Northcete gives a fablisnity
to the higher order of brute hitiary, which it mata
wanted.

-----
sot. Caernarvon HAW JR.—This young
artift treads clofely upon the heels of another. who
has lately siren to academical hopours.—There is is
tweet fobriery of tint in the landfcape before us, nada
up from the real contemplation of Nature, and not
the mere findy of old piftures.
227. Hanna and C4osdne fletpistio the Tootle of
Apollo.—H. HOWARD, A.—A daffiest companion,
which does credit to the talents and tafte of the win,
at a period when this kind of painting appeirs to be
forfaken. The figures are well drawn. and exhibit a
bold relief. and pleating tint of colouring.
252. Saving tbe Remains of a WrocL-0. MOILAND.
—There is nothing in this pilture indieatire of the
high reputation which this artiU has juttly obtained
on former occafions. Its being marked for fate, at
the fame time, renders it a melancholy beacon, to
warn men of lupe: ior talents againa the groats and
quickfands of improvidence.

A wiimfical circumflance took place on Monday
night in the I lonie of Commons. Sir Wse. Pt/tes-
tily and Mr. Tvitswnivr went out of the Houle to-
gether, not intending to vote. and fat oa the ftairss
waiting till the divititn fhould be over. They were.
however, teen in this Rate by the Serjeant at Arms.
who condufted them back into the houfe with due
formali.y, much to the entertainment of the Mem-
bers, who received them with a roar of laughten.

found her in the arms of her paramour, to whom the

little hcfitation, the trio proceeded to a public.houfe.
