Information to ntendent Willinmson, Detective Department, B Chotiand Yard, London, S. W. * The picture has beeft so recently described in my ‘correspondence, and in other ways, that T peed not #4d any more concerning it to assist ‘American vigilance, in case the thief shotld fol- Jow the example of the Murillo thieves and try fis fortune in America. ‘There is mo other _conntry to which it could be taken with any "chance of success in the disposal of it. The " réputation of Gainsborough—the fame of the Duchess of Devonpshirebelong exclutively to the English-spesking race. The picture would not pay the thief his traveling expenses in -Jtsly or Russis, and he could mot sell it fn /Francé or Germany without detection. Indeed, -the thief, who at thjs moment bas the most fiotable and kiown picture in Europe 'in his hands, would eeem to be in about ‘the same luck as if he possessed the Lord -Mayor's coach of the statuo of Nelson. So ob- ‘vious is this fact, that last night among two doz- en gentlemen ataclab where I was " present, pearly all of them shook their heads susplcious- Iy over the evening’s new: evidently regudlufi jlasa *plant.” e public had heard witl - gome £urptise that Messrs. Azhew had bought “¢he picturé as a speculation of their own, and not for any great collector, They secmed to feel sure that by engraving it, exhibiting it, and . then gelling it, they would make muug‘by the transaction. ¢ picture was being exhibited in +Bond street at a shilling & head when it was .gtolen: ant it is not unnatural, perhaps, that - many £hould suspeet the owuers of it of con- iiving a devico to revive the somewhat -faeping iuterest of the public o it .There 15 nothing, however, in the antecedents of : Mesgrs. Agnew which tan warrant the sugpicion of their being guilty of such a_trick. and itis lain that the representatives of the press regard it 15 a penuine luss to them. At any rate, it can- ,not by doubted that some suspicion will rest Spon fhe aftair. The theft was committed in 2 of Bond street wherefjthe greatness of the ‘Hikes—jewelry, porcelain, pletures, ete., all of the costliest kind—has long caused unusual vigi- fance. Besides the regular police there are many Ivaie watchmen, and one chief night watch- ‘ma, maintained by thé shopkeepersin common. This night watchman, 2 man npamed Lauvgham, sonfusses that on the might of the theft he had < i substituie, nor can he tell the name or ad- \fircss of the individual to whom be conflded bis dutics. Perhaps a more amazing statement was mever put forth. Whatever may be the fat, somebody is playing a dangerous qmne. .One_moy fecl pretty certain ihat the picture will be recovered, as other stolen pictures have .beea. Twenty-five years ago, several pictures “sere cut from their frames in the Dike of Suf- - folk's gallery, but the thieves, unable to redlize 61t them, could only eseape detéction by hiding the plunder away under an arch of Blackfriar’s bridge, where they were discovered. e famous Murillo, * Vierze Couped,” of Marshal Scult’s gatlery, had tho figures of the Virgin and Child cut out by thietes, and in this casethe thioves did manage to sell their spoil. In that ‘ase the lost figurcs were replaced by another, @ modern, painter, “and the picture so repaired was ‘hy & strange coincidence ultimatcly purchased by a gentleman who 1cn5 before had purchased the original Virgin an ‘Child, Butsuch another coincidence would lead ‘foa rather severe investigition in ihese dayt, especially if he were found with fl%ghr worth 10,000 guineas on hix hands. e lovely Duchess of Devonshire will never adorn any walls unless it be Ly and with the consent of Messrs. Agnew. The story of the fsir political canvasser and niow of the canvas on which shc {5 painted, taken together, are romantic enough to beggar conmon fiction and drive Wilkle Gol- lins to suicide. It is doubtful whether Gains- * borough recolved more for {his portralt than his wsual fce of 5 guineas. After its exhibition n 1753 the picture of this “la\'ely‘sh'l. tiataral 'alpole @e- sribed her), passed . into fthe hands of 3rs. Magennis, who disposed of it to Mre.

To Mr. Wyna Eilis® beirs it has just brought £10,600.

At midday ke procession of the thoutand guests invited to the warkmen's banquet began to defile under aldi's windows, with bands, bauners, slondands, penuons, trophice, cte. Gariboldis carrisge made its way through acrowd of at feast, 10,000 women and 20,000 men, and thus treompanied we reached e woud of the Cap- pucini. ®entury-old oaks, in scven or cighit ‘rcles, surrounded 2 ‘?flw in the centre where {he banquet wes spread on ten tables, converg- fngr to thic central scmicircle, mensuriug half a Kilometer, In the ccutre wero a fountafu gad & perfect forest of flowers.

Theeight bands played continuously, and with excellent appetites we paid our respects to the viands, our eyes feasting on the enchanting s¢ene, our ears “taking in the speeches. The President ‘;Pokc Tor at least half an bour of Garibaldi, of '81i, and sculpture, of the rights and duties of workmen, He spoke againstthe banoful influ- £nce of thie priests, and_ implored Garibaldi to ige his influcnce to get railways voted for the Province, which is so rich, yet has no means of forvarditiz its products to neightoring markets. Vitcrbo, he said, had lost its position as Capital of the Province, and the_enemies of the new or- der of things add to the popular discontent by reminding the sufferers how much bet- ter they. were off from 2 material point of view in the.bad old times. Garibaldi remarked in reply that he ng oved of almost all that the orator had said. He then launched out sgainst the pricsts and arrated bis favorite anecdote of the Turk, exciting much laughter, and_prom- 4500 bis warmest support infavor of the rail- road. The Prefect then expressed his satisfac- tion at the perfect harmony existing between Garihaldi and the King; then.poetry was de- claimed, and Garibaldi, who always wearles of long difmers, expressed his wish to visit the batils.

But the sculptor meaus vastly to alter and improve it, and to present it and a fountain in mug’lu to -| his native city. T COSMETICS. One of the fashionable hair-dresserghof the day (writes Lucy. Hooper from Paris™o the Philadelphia Telegrapk) lately gave me some curious detalis respecting the hair-dyes and waglics now &6 much in vogde. The dyes foy darkening the -halr are comparatively simple, a_nd are nearly all poisonous, having nitrate of silver and sugar of léad for thelr bases. Some of these are ‘very powerful, and require great care in their application, a5’ they" stdin the skin as well as the hair unless e scalp 15 thoroughly :]vas!;ed “;mx hot(.) water immediately after thé Iye is put on. Other preparations, such as t! cAlebrated Eau des Fees of Satah Felis ‘ugfi sister of the great actréss Rachel), are harmless, but are comparatively weak. The golden dyes used for ‘blonding ** the heads of born brunettes are of English origin, and are very expensive—$4 is the ?rlce of a small bottle of the. best,—and if the perfoh using it has a fine I of hair, from five to seven bottlefuls will be necessary, to say nothing of the lady’s false braide, which must be dyea to correspond. Truth compels us to 6wn that these blonde hair-dyes succeed but ill in im- it.atlnF nature, as hair thus treated never has the gloss 4nd hue of nature, but fs slways dry and has a tinge either of bright red or bright yellow in it which is uunatural. The soft silvery sheen of uine blonde tresxesis un- Er?duceflzlc by art. The latest invemrtion in nir-coloring Is a prepardtion to turn the hair ‘white; an invention called forth by the present rage for silvery locks, even on heads scarce past middle age, This preparation must be ap- plied by a professional lair-dresser, as it is rather dangérous to the well-being of the hair; it is also extremely expensive, $40 belng charzed for the thorvugh blanching of a lady’s lotks. The process must, of course, be frequently re- newed, as the hair on growing out posscsss its natural color and shows dark around the roots. False braids can also be twhitened by this pro- cess. Few persons have any ided of the extent to which the art of * making up” is earried by Parisian belles,—ny; and by Parisian bezux also. I have heard, for instauce, of onegentlemanwho was extremel y handsome in his youth, and who, being now:Zabout 45, attempts , to .com- bat by art theravages of time. ile rises at haif- past 7, and till 11, his breakfast hour, the arts of the toilet claim all his attention.

A coat of m]d—(-rcamii spread all” over his face, ¢oat of the thick white 1] upon which islald a ] heatrical paint known as tlané-gras, 2nd commonly used by actresses. The superfluous white is gently removed by means of a soft_brush, the cold<ream causing the ?mnt to adhere to the skin. The gentle- man’s face is tlien lnlf;htly owdered with pearl powder, and a falnt tinge of rouge on cither = cheek complétes” his metamor- phosis. Thus gotien up, he appears some {en years younger than Lis actual age. A noble purpose, truly, for & man to s;i_r:nd three hours and a HAlf daily to achieve! The consumption of pearl-powder in Paris must be somethinyg fin- mense. - It has béen computed that out ot 100 Parisian lidies, ninety. fise .pearl-powder. I have already sguken n a former letier of the costly paiuté, lotions, eté., which are in vogue, prominent among which is a cerfain wash, ‘which, on being rabbéd upon the skin and then llghfl)‘ wiped off, leaves the complexion of 3 veivety whiteness. Of vourse all theso artificial adjuncts to the compléxion ruin it in the lon; Fun; evén peatl-powder, the Lnsisof which is bismuth, leaves the face full of tiny black gpecks after long-coutinued usage. VICTORLIN JONCIERES. Justnow (ssysa Parls letter to Apnletons’ Journal) we heat & good dedl about M. Victorin Joncleres, the success of whose opera of “ Dim- jtri™ at the Lyriquebas given him an enviable place in the ranks of the rising composers of the day. Hehas wonhis triumph by dint of un- failing perseverance, and of an audacity that nothing could check or overthrow. At the very outset of his carecr as a composer, he addsessed nimself in screne confidence to the Directors of ihe Grand Opera. * Aim at a robe of gold, and perchante you may get g eleeve of ity Is a good proverb; for if M. Juncleres ha uot gained ad- mission’ to the Grand Opera, “he has achleved a wide step by winning, ‘not only a hearing, but _sutcess, at the Lyrique. The family of AL Juncieres orig- innlly intended Lim for a painter, but of his ca- reer as au artist nothing survives save the mem- ory of certain wild and atidacions pranks which surpagsed in boldness and impudence even the celebrated frolics of the Latin ?uam:r. He nsed to give soirees in his atelier which have become traditional. For lack of space, the dauces nsed to overflow on the stalrcase, and mad quadrilles wero organized in the halls. Onte be stuck up om his studio-door a large g}aurd tearing the inseription, * Exhibition o l’lcmres—Enfi\mce Free.” A staid English family saw the placard, and entered. They found themselves face to face with & hand of students, sclenly engaged in drawing from a nude model enthroned on a Jofty platform. On another occasion the placard was inscribed ‘English Clureh,” and a number of austere Prolestants entered, only to behold a gigantic Spanish danseuse en- gaged In éxccatlng one of the wildest of her Tiational pas senls, £ald danscuse being no other than Jonvieres limself. For these and other similar pranks he was ordered to leave his apartment. The ceremonial of moving was mand and imposing. 1lis _artist-omrades, among whom were numbered Vibert, Bernc= Hellecour, and others, who are now among the lendin gmluttrs of the present day, Actom- pnnlef fhe furnitare-wagon which contained the movables, onme playing on the clarlonet, another on a trumpet, a third on the cornet-a- ton, while the future composer, ingtalled th the wagon before liis open plano, pounded vigorously away at- the march_from * Taun- hauser.” But these frolics dated from fif- teen years back. To-day the wild artist hias _beconie the &ober and settled composer, retaining, however, his enerjgy, his fer- vor, his indomitablo’ perseverance.

A man who liad ¢ome in the same third-class carriags with him admonished this rustic, when they were parting just outside the London statlon, that he should be vér{ careful of his money, a5 many thleves would be in the crowd. “Ohy” gald” the rustic, nohody’ll get my money; I lLiave only one pound, an T mean to keep that in my mouth.” This remark was over- heard by one of our small but clever street boys, who watchied bis opportunity, and when the honest countryman had got a few hundred yarde on his wayy suddenly scattered a few pennics on the ground before him, and began to piek them up again, crying to the rustic as he did so; ¢ You glmme that govrin!® The rustic looked bewildered. “You gimms that sovrin,” shoutod the small boy. ‘‘Iseen you pick it up and ]'mt it in your moutit” A erowd began to collecty and agked the boy what was the matter.

Le1rzie, Baxony, May 31.—For more years than is consistent with the assumption on my part of extreme youth, I have been lecturing 11y countrymen and women on thelr sicrifice of health and comfort to false {deas of beauty and ‘grace; and,from the sneeis of writers belonging to'the Old World, I concluded that our love of decoration was a failt of our youth. Isupposed that those peoples who had built housés which had stood for rcenturies were quité free from our follics, and that we were the only natlon given ta sactifite safety fo show,comfort 6 ornament, and hénor to cornice.

Not only are American, English, French, and German ships ond boats habitially cleaned and répalnitéd with benzirle, of which gallons areé al- ways ot board for this purpose, but the reivest and most improved fron vesséls are mere tindér- boxes. . Cabins, sate-rooms, saloons; eteerages, fore- castles, Kitclieas, pantries, etc., are all built of pine, most of whichi is saturated and thickly coated with paint, and varnish, and gilt, which last requires s rather thicker coat of paint and varnish thai the parté not gildéd, In our sbip the principal toternal walls are double, each rhade of strips of pine an inch square, beveled and framed in like Venetlon shutters. These sttips stand vertieally; and, il therc is any way in which wood can be better arranged for start- ing a fire, that way Lias not yct been discovered.

There are dangers enough pecullat to, and inseparable from, water-travel; nnd this one of fire is so extrancots, o artificlal, so entirely unneces- sary, that it is- time we were done with it. Why do we not demand that the Inside of every passenger-craft shall be finished with thin plates of mctal, instoad of pine boards. Zine, copper, brase, or galvanized irom, wauld make ane beautiful pattition-walls, wlile metal berths would be n tast improyement in every rospect. Every bedétead I'saw in England was brass or iron: and why sliould Englishmen bulld wooden berths on ships, and thits endangor the Hves of pussengers?

Yct vessels on which the presence of a large number of them is always massary are 0 constructed that a stolen smoke by any onc of themn may send them and all on board to the bottom of the ocean! Such reckleseniess on the part of respousible busi- ness-men is perfectly unaccountable. Bat, apart from the damage of fire, there 18 another reason in which PAISTED WOOD 15 OBIECTIONABLE. The difficulty of ventilation is, and must be, much greater in ¢hips than it houses; and the rooms ars always liable to be wetted by water Qnsling ever where somo port is open” or im- perfectly closed, and by theunavoiiable fltlllh_i of water about the washstands. Painted wod always ecgenders more or less foul gas, and, when it {6 damp, it is very poleonous to the sur- rounding atmosphere; and those ' clored, painted wooden washstands common on ships are duch a nuisance as no eareful housckeeper would tolerate for a day: They are identical Withthose kitchen-sinkswhich generato roaches, and ants, and fouln ‘which, without their Jabors as scavengers, would soon make a house the gbode of death, and it alone. A closed, painted wooden washstand is_abomina- tion in any Jr]ntc; but, when the inside is liable to become damp, one is enough to supply a shole family with typhoid fever. Aship in which there is one (:({ them in eval’:y eme:-nom ought aliways to be kept at quarantine, and never per- mlucyd 0 Lnurhpn wharf. Metal finishing would dispense with these oppressive generators of foul alr. For this reason, too, as well as to Jessen the danger of fire, the metal deck under the ssloons should be left without a wooden cover. which grows damp and foul. Thick carpets Or inats Should be substituted, such as do not burn " Ts it not strangre that ship-owners do* ! rendily, andgauch as can be frequently taken out | and air W:;;e:\ our veseels are all finished in this way thoy easily can Dy, we shail get done with ship-fever, and hear no more of Jeasels burncd at sea, except by epontaneaus combustion of the cargo. The chiange could be made without any sacrifice of the beautiful, for thelr metal walls would be capable of endleas orpamentation. One revelation of our fire, more alarming {han the fire tself, was the FALSE CONFIDEXCE OF THE OFFICERS AND CREW in the fire-proof quality of the ship. They did not sec, could not Delleve, there had Leen any Qauger of the 1oas of the ¢hip. They said, and iatly thought, that the worst that could happened would have been the burn- ;‘:’e nugpe. of the saloon ond state- rooms, ‘for_see,” they exclaimed, ‘‘there s an § ok under this cabin deck, or floor 28 ?ofmi‘l’?t,d gud -ndi';on deck above this_wooden celling, between it and the wpper wooden deck. A T You might leave out all this wood, and the iron 1s there,—the ship's hHull perfectly safe !

Legead had fascinated us -with account8 bf abrave people, whose coat of arms oonsists of three legy urranged like astar, and the motto, 4 Which ever way you throt me, Istand.” Inshort, we were determined to go, and every obfection giveh by dthers strickus but in the light of an additional inducement. . But if, in the preceding days, we had lobged for our resting-place, our anxiety increased rap- 1dly during the long hours in which we.tossed about that RAINY, TUMBLING, DISAGREEABLE WATER. 1f there be one thing hpproching the misery. of sea-slckness iteelf, it certainly consists in being exempt, with ample time to watch the agony of others, and no place to flee to. For- tunately for us, however, the Captain took compassion upon the three or four good sailors of our party, permitting ustoinfringe the rules, and sit ugon the paddie-box. There, walle the rain drizzled st 7 down_(for rain is chronic in the Channel and Irish Seu), we perched for soven lours. We had raised an umbrglla ‘as ©canopy and shield; but, in an unguarded moment, the wind snatched it from our nands. When we last saw it, it was rapidly returniog towards Liverpool, freighted—not™ with our blessings. At length, a long, low line of codst, a tower of rock, dirly.seep through the islysad we re- alized that escape was near. A few minutes more of pitching, and the sun broke as we steamed past thellttle fishing-yachts into DOUGLAS BAY. After some tiresome waiting, we found pleas- ant rooms upon 4 hill, end went to bed satistied that we were there, and golug to stay until our Bohemian spirit moved us on Early noxt morning we were ab the window; looking off to the black horizon-line of water; the bay whose rigpleu always seem to catch the sunshine from the shore; the *Sallor's Rock of Refage;” and a long, ‘rm-like picr, holding a light-ouse in its hand. Again, coming near- T, our eyes took in the low, sandy shores the fishwomeén, with their bright dresses, immense baskets upon thelr backs, knitting and talking as they \Talkelli the town, with jts * incoherent. little streets,” ! running iterally) up hill and down hill,”*—ior sught. ow; ‘“into o lady’s chamber,” too.

XO PLEASANTER PLACE could be found for B‘Pémlhlg one's resting da of a summer,—a place to lar, read, write, be sad or merry in.- We would drift around the bay until tired; then, lying in our rooms, watch 4he fuchsias peeplng throtish the open windows. Our aycs ‘wonld wander ont upon the changeftl- tiuted water, to the fishermen casting ‘their nets,—the gails of thie finy boats louking, !n the dim distance, like iminénse whité butter!
