Ornaments and Devices thereon. 
This is a4 very correct view of the coffin

tion from the public. The ornaments, 
(which are all defcribed,) have the refem- 
Dlance of gold laid upon a black ground, 
and have a mortuary and folemn appear- 
ance. We find by the infcription that 
the coffin was made by Mr. Chittenden, 
under the direction of Mr. Francis; the 
handles and corner-plates by Mr. Holmes, 
under the direction of Mr. Bidwell; and 
the ornaments and emblematical devices

This is an uncommonly elegant little: 
print, the different objects are neatly ea- 
graven and properly coloured, and beneath ° 
is the order of the proceflion, and his 
Lordthip’s pedigree; by which it appears, 
that by the female line he is immediately 
defcended from Sir Robert Walpole. 
Mr. T. Smith, of Newman-iireet, has

taining an accurate View of the River 
‘Thames, (taken from the houfe of Wil-

wark,) on the day that the remains of 
Admiral Lord Nelbon were brought from 
Greenwich to Whitehall ; comprehending, 
not only a view of the order of the barges, 
boats, &c. which attended in honour of 
that moft illuftrious character, but the

St. Paul’s;. with a multitude of {mall

Hlarris, Conduit-fireet.: 
When we confider how effentially a 
portrait-painter contributes to keep alive 
the memory of the illufirious dead, a lover 
of the fine arts will naturally feel that 
the man who thus preferves the memory 
of others, has fome claim to being allowed 
to perpetuate his own. Added to the 
gratification which this affords to the phy- 
fiognomift, we are all interefted in the 
appearance of thofe that have diftinguifhed 
themfelves. In this point of view we con- 
template Mr. Abbot’s portrait with plea- 
fure; and it is alfo a good piéture, and a 
good mezzotinto print, by a veteran in the 
arts, whofe produétions we have had fre- 
quent occafion to praife. 
A monument, ftudioufly plain and un- 
adorned, has been erected in the new 
burying-eround to St, James’s church, to 
the memory of that truly refpectable pre- 
On the 
tablet is infcribed a very friendly and feel- 
ing epitaph, commemorating the virtues 
of this genuine friend to religious liberty, 
by Mr. Charles Fox. The {culptor is 
Mr. Roffi, and the fimple elegance of the 
compofition does great honour to his tafte 
and talents. 
Sir William Beechy, whofe profeffional 
rank among contemporary artifis is {o 
well known that it is not necefiary to 
Specify it here, is painting a full-length pore 
trait of the Duke of Gloucefter; and alfo 
a full:length of the Duke of Cambridge. 
The former is painted by order of the 
Univerfity of Dublin. 
The Rooms belonging to the Britifh 
‘Inftitution for encouraging the Fine Arts, 
in Pall-mall, were on Saturday, the 18th 
of January, clofed for the arrangement o 
all the pictures that are to be exhibited 
there; as they announced that to be the 
laft day on which pictures would be re- 
ceived. Many more than the rooms will 
contain are fent for exhibition, fo that 
any enumeration of them would be im- 
perfeét ; we fhall therefore defer it until it 
1s determined what areto be kept, which 
will be in a very fhort time. 
Mr. Nollekens has modelled a very fine
