We are happy to fee that feveral ef 
our nobles and diftinguifhed ama- 
teurs have evinced their love of the fine 
arts, by becoming purchafers of the pro- 
ductions here exhibited, viz. Lady Lucas, 
Lord Dartmouth, Vifeount Athbrook, 
Lord G. L. Gower, Lord Boringdon, 
Lord Kinnaird, Lord Ribblefdale, Right 
Hon. C. Long, the Hon. Mr. Maule, 
M. P. the Hon. Thomas Brand, Sir 
Abram Hume, Bart: SirO. Mofley, M. P. 
General Grenville, J. A. Wright, Efq. 
M. P. Thomas Hope, Efq. I. F. Lovedin,, 
Efq. M.P. William Chamberlayne, Efq. 
and, above all, the Marquis of Stafford 
has already purchafed fifteen of the pro- 
ductions now exhibiting. Among thefe 
are the picture of Chrift appearing to 
Mary Magdalen, by Weliall; the Beli- 
farius, by Opie; the Cottage-Girl and 
St. Peter, by Shee; the Flower-Picce, 
by Hewlet, and for this performance we 
wre told he paid 400 guineas. It is, in- 
deed, counlidered as the chef d@euvre of 
the Englifh fchool in this branch of the 
arts. 
North-Weft View of the Cathedral Church of 
Peterborough, dedicated to the Right Reverend 
Spencer Madan, D. D. Lord Bijhop, and the 
Reverend the Dean, by Fobu Buckler, del. 
Engraved by F.C. and G. Lewis. 
The above forms a part of Mr. Buck- 
Jer’s feries of Englifh cathedrals; the 
former part of which we noticed with 
the praife to which it was fo well enti- 
tled, and this print is at leait equal to 
any which preceded it. It is accurate, 
the perfpective and general effect is ftrik- 
ing and impretlive; and we fheuld ma- 
gine the whole feries muft (among our 
ecclefiaftics particularly) excite fuch an 
intereft as to produce a very liberal fub- 
{eription to the proprietor. 
South-Eaft View of Queen's College, Oxford. 
_ Dedicated to the Rev. Septimus Collinjon, DP. D; 
Provoft, and the Society of the Queen’s Colege, 
Oxford, by I. Buckler. 
The above print does great honour to 
the artift; and we have been told, that 
the manner in which the expence of it 
was paid does great honour to the rever- 
end provott, who, inficad of promoting 
a fubfcription among the fociety, very 
liberally defrayed the whole expence him- 
feif.

The Right Hon. Sames Shaw, Lord Mayor, and 
one of the Reprefentatives in Parliament for 
the City of London. F. Hoppner pinxit, 
JF. H. Meyer feulpt. 
The general wifh which it has been 
faid the people of this country have for 
the portraits of thofe who may be deno- 
minated public characters, muft give to 
the portrait of a gentleman, who united 
to the office of chief magiftrate that of 
being one of the reprefentatives for the 
city of London, the chance of exciting a 
double portion of intereft. If we add, 
that the print is faid to be a ftrong refem- 
blance to the original, and extremely 
well engraved in mezzotinto, that intereit 
will probably be encreafed.

lf, on the principle which we fuggefted 
in our laft article, the print of their frit 
magiftrate excited the ‘attention of the 
citizens of London, who fhall attempt to 
calculate the eagernefs with which the 
amateurs of minims and crofchets, weit 
of Temple Bar, will contemplate the 
portrait of fo diftinguifhed a perfonage 
as Signora Catalini? Confcious as. we 
are that the acknowledgment muft, in the 
eyes of a great multitude of perfons of 
honour and people of fafhion, produce a 
violent fufpicion of our tafte, and excite 
aftonihment at our want of curiolity, 
yet, notwithftanding all this, we have 
not yet feen this paragon of the mufical 
world, . If fhe is as handfome as this 
portrait, fhe is an exquifitely beautiful 
woman; and the print is very finely en- 
graved in the chalk manner.
