"The Fair Penitent. Painted by H. PIDDINO, engraved by IV.

GILLER."—A poor negro in the stocks, a companion to " Sambo very dry," by the same artist. It is a very clever mezzotint ; and the equi- vogue of the title will excite a laugh, as much as the air and expression of the Black. This sort of subject, however, is better adapted for a sketch for a scrap-book, than for a painting to be engraved and put into a frame.
