Panorama. This grand (but awful) subject, painted in oil, upon two thousand four hundred and sixty four square feet of canvas, represents the burning of his Majesty's ship the Boyne, of ninty [sic]-eight guns, which was esteemed one of the finest ships in the British Navy; She took fire by accident the first of May, 1795. As likewise, the miraculous escape of the Grand Fleet from the flames, which consisted of more than thirty-five sail. Executed by that celebrated artist, R. Dodd, author of the most naval prints which have been published during the present war. It is now open for public inspection, in a large temporary building, erected for that purpose, in Norfolk-Street, Manchester, from ten in the morning, till six, in the evening.
