COTE will always be respectable. He was educated at the feet of Gamaliel," in the very house of Sir Joshua, the father of painting in England; and he is a worthy disciple of his master, not only as a painter, but as an enthusiast in his art; as a skilful theorist, and as an amiable man. Mr. Northcote is one of that illustrious race of English painters, which were created by the sudden impulse given to the genius of the country on the institution of the Academy; which race, to be continued, will require a succession of impulses, like those with which nature operates in the production of her works, but which seldom attends the exertions of man. The best pictures of this gentleman appeared in the everto-be-honoured project of the Shakespeare gallery, and it merits notice that his works, at the sale of that gallery,

Joshua, and the Lear of Mr. WEST. From a marked catalogue before us, we have extracted the following record of Mr. Northcote's pictures:-

1. The Death of Edward V. and his brother in the Tower, sold for 1051.

2. Its companion, the Burial of the Princes in the Tower, sold for 941. 10s. to P. W. Baker, esq. M.P. of Dorsetshire.

3. Prince Arthur and Hubert in Prison, purchased by Miss Linwood at 1061. 18.

4. The Scene of Romeo and Juliet, and Paris, in the Tomb of the Capulets: bought by Sir Francis Baring, at 210!.

5. The Death of Mortimer in Prison, purchased by Sir Francis Baring at 941.

6. The Entrance of Richard II. and Bo

lingbroke into London: purchased for 1131. 8s. by the worshipful company of armour. ers, and now placed in an elegant room in the hall of that corporation.

7. The Interview of the young Princes

in London; purchased by W. Burrell, esq. at the price of 781. 15s.

We need not notice his capital picture of the Death of Wat Tyler in the Common Council chamber of Guildhall, because it must be in the mind's eye of every lover of art. At present Mr. Northcote's genius is in full activity-his pen has recently gratified the world with a pleasing and appropriate tribute to the memory of his master Reynolds-and his pencil has been employed in conferring distinction on Congleton Hail, in Cheshire, the seat of C. W. T. SHAKERLEY, esq. This gentleman, with commendable patriotism, has preferred the works of an eminent English master to the spurious offspring of great names, which are often foisted on the credulity of picture-fanciers by delinquents whose crimes inad vertently are not punishable by the general laws against frauds and forgeries. The subjects of these fine pictures are,-1. Jo seph let down into the Pit by his Brethren. 2. Daniel in the Lion's Den. 3. A Lion Hunt in Africa. 4. The Judgement of Solomon, upon which Mr. N. is now engaged. In these pictures the figures are as large as life, and they are to constitute the furniture of one magnificent room.-Mr. Northcote has also just finished a characteristic and highly finished portrait of Mr. Brunell, the celebrated mechanic and engineer, which we hope to see in the next exhibition at Somerset House.

The phenomenon of a fossile human skeleton may shortly be seen in London. Sir Alexander Cochrane lately sent this curiosity from Guadaloupe, and it has been deposited in the British Museum. It was found with some others a few years since, in a bed of hard limestone, or marble, in that island, and part of one skeleton was sent to France, and is now in possession of M. Cuvier, the naturalist. The specimen sent to London is perfect from the neck to the ancles, and is supposed to have been a female. Dextrous workmen have been employed in detaching the stone from the form of the skeleton, and a drawing has been made to accompany a memoir, which is to be laid before the Royal Society. A glass case is making for it, and when complete, the fossile will be exhibited to the public. This discovery, of course disturbs many fine-spun theories relative to the comparatively recent for mation of the human species.

The title of MADAME D'ARBLAY'S new novel is "the Wanderer, or Female Difficulties." It will appear in January,

in five volumes, and we need not say will be greedily devoured by the whole literary world.

A Life of James the Second, King of England, collected out of Memoirs write ten with his own Hand; his Advice to his Son; and Will, dated November 17, 1688; are printing under the superinten dance of the Rev. J. S. CLARKE, LL.B. F.R.S. Historiographer to the King, and Librarian to the Regent. The manuscript from which the first of the above works will be printed, extends to four thick folio volumes, and is thought to have been written by Mr. Thos. Innys, one of King James's secretaries, about the year 1707. The "Advice" will be printed from a Manuscript, in a thin quarto volume. They formed part of the Private Papers of the Pretender, and were found by his daughter, the Dutchess of Albany, in her father's library at Florence, whence they were removed to Rome, by the Abbé Waters, late Procu rator General of the English Benedictins, and were lodged in the Chancery. At her death, the papers, having been be queathed to him in her will, of which he was executor, he conveyed them to his own house. In 1804, in consequence of the communication of the above facts by the Editor of this Magazine, to the late Mr. Fox, that gentleman moved the Prince of Wales to purchase the col lection, when the Abbé Waters. engaged to give up all the original papers of the Royal House of Stuart, in his possession. They were accordingly brought from Rome, by Mr. Bonnelli, and are now in the library at Carlton-house.

Not having heard of any design to employ steam passage-boats in the service of the populous banks of the Thames, we bave determined, pro bono publico, to receive at the office of our publisher, No. 1, Paternoster Row, the names of subscribers to 501, shares, for the establishment of a Steam-boat Company, to consist of 50 shares or members. This capital appears to be sufficient to launch 2 or 3 such vessels, for the conveyance of goods and passengers between London and Kingston, a voyage which each vessel may perform backward and forward, at stated hours, twice in every day. As soon as 20 names are received, notice shall be given to the parties, and a general meeting convened, for the purpose of arranging the plan of the proposed com

pany.

Dr. READE, of Cork, announces a treatise on the Cataract, with a New Theory of Vision, Light, and Colours, of which he has afforded an outline in the valuable paper forming the first article in this month's Magazine.

We have heard of the project of a new periodical work, to be called the New Monthly Review. This puny effort to attract public attention, by decorating the flimsy pretensions of unfledged authorlings with the well-earned reputa. tion of old-established favourites of the literary world, is now too common to catch even the vulgar. The proprietors of the real Monthly Review can only be flattered and served by this unintentional compliment, and the fate of the impostors will of course be the same as that of the jackdaw in the fable.

Some other speculators are paying a similar, and indeed a seasonable, compliment to the reputation of the Monthly Magazine, while the interested or deluded war-party are very naturally jealous of the ascendancy of that work, which first ventured to remind the English nation, that a state of eternal hostility is not the natural condition of a moral and enlightened People. Among other characteristic manœuvres, these parties have made a convenient tool of a pre tended book-society, putting some wretch ed driveller, or man of straw, in the supposed chair, and then expelling the Monthly Magazine, which, say they, has MONTHLY MAG. No, 249,

hesitated to acknowledge the glory of our professional warriors! These knaves know not perhaps that there are few booksocieties which do not require the circu lation of at least two copies of the Monthly Magazine; and that the antisocial politics of such prostituted papers as the Times, have few or no partisans among the literary and enlightened members of ge nuine book-societies. In treating however on such a topic it merits distinct explanati on that the friends of literature, or the bet ter-informed part of the people of England, have always conferred the most extensive patronage on those literary works, which justly and properly favour the ba ses of their true glory, the cause of public Liberty, and the spirit of free Enquiry; and, as contemporary instances, we may proudly name our own Magazine, and the Edinburgh and the Monthly Reviews. On the other hand, the more numerous race of triflers, the stock-jobbers, the contractors, and those who, from timidity or error, make passive obedience the bound of their mental energies, give a preponderating currency to those timeserving newspapers which advocate all the measures of the court, and of the minister for the time being. Hence, in relation to their opinions, an inverse ratio always distinguishes the circulation of literary journals from that of newspapers; while the fact itself, which is incontestable, enables us to reconcile the apparent solecism of the most thinking and most intelligent nation in matters of literature and science, being often dishonoured in its public practices, by becoming the dupe of every political arti fice, and by acting in contradiction to established principles of ethics and sound policy. In truth, the philosophical thinkers, or patrons of literary journals, are a class of the people of England, wholly distinct from the race of public agitators, and patrons of sycophant newspapers. In a free state, the two classes are likely to exist for ever as separate as the sources of principle, and of egotism, from which they respectively spring; and it would therefore be a vain endeavour, in times which involve so violent a collision of opposing opinions, to attempt to reconcile the just and liberal views of the li terati, with the sordid tactics of Lloyd's Coffee House, or the clamorous politics of the Stock Exchange. We shall therefore pursue the even tenour of our course, unruffled by malice, to which we should vainly oppose reason; and undismayed by violence, which best opposes itself; SY
