GLASGOW, Oct. 7.—Ou reaching this city the other day I found it shaken by a baok failure of avery aggravated kind, Scotch baoks seldom {ail, but when one does the event is likely to be a masterpiece in that line. Not since the year 1857, when the Western Baok closed its doors, till Jast Wednesday morning, shen the City of Glasgow Banking Company declined to open theirs, has panking failure, big or smal, taken place in Scotland; but, ason the preceding oc- and even more emphatically on casion, 60, the present, the worst features arc exemplified of baoking mismanagement, and of theloss and misery it surely entails. Owing to this failure there are locked up in the baok for an indefinite period nearly $50,000,000 of deposit, chiefly the working capital of small traders, who suddenly flad themselves cat off from their resources, and without the means to carry on business. This money, however, will all be returned to the depositors ultimately, be- cause the sharcholders of the bank must make it good even though they are ruined by the pro- cess, as many of them witl inevitably be. The deflclency which they will have to make up cannot be known for some time to come, but it is generaily supposed to be $15,000,000, and may turn out te be 3 much greater sum. There are over 1,250 shareholders, and though few of them are such millionaires as James Baird, of Gartsherrie, who when the Western Baok failea in 1857 paid calls upon his stock to the amount of $3,500,000, a part of which was ultimately returned to him, yet many of the largest holders of tho Cityof Glas- gow Bank shares arc men who are” well able to meet all their engagements. But the es- cully distressing feature of this fallure is the t that an unusually large proportion of the shareholders are widows, spinsters, tlic trustees of minors, and retired professional men, to whom the downfall of the bank wmeavsutter destitution. The entire confidence which was reposed in the bank is evidenced by the tact that the money of this class was so freely invested in its shares, which shares wereactually bought on ’Change on the day previous to the collapseat 136 premium. The bank began business in 1839, with a paid- up capital of £1,000,000, and an_authorized cir- culation of 372,921." 1ts actual circulation, how- ever, was seven times that amount, it being ‘bound by its charter to keep a reserve of gold equivalent to its surplus paper. The pertinent question bas gbeen asked, Is the gold there? snd the only answer yet returned is a dark rumor of a deficiency of a quarter of a million pounds. The further questions, What has pi cipttated the bank Iuto such agulfof insolvency? and bow did its Directors manage to Keep its real position a secret from the public until the very hour of its stoppage? are also awaiting an- swer. From what is already known, it is very doubtful if the bank has been in a solvent state for the past twenty years. The Directors scem 10 have treely used its funds in bolstering the fivancial schemes of themselves and their friends; and its advances to two or three firms on grain, iron, aod other depreciated sccurilies amount in round figures to £6,000,000 sterling. And yet, in the face of the most ominous 1acts, concealed from the shareholders and the public under vague or ambiguous ficures, and unde- terred by a rapidly accumulating deficit, the Di- rectors have gonc on for fifteen years past de- claring steadily rising dividends of 9, 10, 11, and 12 per cent. 11 not mad or muddled, banking of this kind is much worse—it is criminal. A panic has only been prevented by the prompt action of the other Svotchbanks, which avnounced on the morning of the failure that they would cash. the City of Glasgow Bank's worthless notes, and by so doing have, to some exteat, saved the credit of Scotch. banking. and strengthened confidence in themselves. But it is unnecessary to saygat, with Clyde ship- building languishing, with house-building at a standstill, witn coul-pits and irou-foundrics closed, or going on short time, and with a big bank ‘tumbling down, on top of the universal dullness and despondency, the year draws on to anything but & cheerful closc, at any rate in Glasgow. THE CITY OF GLASGOW. It is acity which American tourists as 2 rule are impatient titl they get away from. Yetitis worth groping one’s way through, if one can onty endure the smoke of it for two or three days. Its peoplé love to call it ‘“‘the second city in the United Kingdom,” and eall it s0 not without reason. The magnitude, the wealth, the activity of Glasgow are not to be hid, or the smoke of Glasgow would hide them. It is a city which makes a bold bid for the cus- tom of the traveling American, whose favor is courted in ngt always a very flattering fashion. One of the first things that attracted my notice on coming into Glasgow on the train, was a mean-lookinglittle store in a shanty-like struct~ ure, which & flaming siznboard aonounced to bean “ American;Ice-Cream Saloon.” But a still closer appeal is made to national feeling, if not to the national palate, when one arrives in the beart of the city. Here are Grand hotels, *‘con- ducted in the American style,” hotels named after ‘““the father of his country,” and hotels where the Stars and 8tripesis the only ban- ner to the swmoke unfurled of this smoky city. Thesc eugage in a lively competition for posscs- sion of the person of the pecunious stranger and pilgrim, and the prize seems well worth the competition. The greeting offered at the first hotel to which I went when I passed through here amonth ago, was “Quite full—full of Americans, and nothing but a sofa to offer.” The answer returned at another hotel was to the same cffect, except that 3 bath-room was sub- stituted for the sofa. But the rush of travel is mnosw past, and it is no great stretch of the truth to say that there is not an American tourist in Glasrow but may bhave a hotel **all to his own self,” witha sofa and bath-room thrown in. Iuthese circumnstan. ces a closer survey of Glasgow reveals the fact that the trapsat)antic influences apparent here depend far more on the solid and _enduring in- terests of business than on the fiving visits aud passing favors of seckers of pleasure. ‘Those great staple products of America in which Chicago is so Inrgely interested come to Glasgow 1s to any other great emvoriuinj but grain, und live stock, and provisions do not Dresent themselves distinetly as articles of com- merce with America. The very street-vars of Glasgow are American-made, thé very car-borses are American-bred, but not one ia ten thonsand of those who use them are aware of the fact. Nevertbeless American industry and handicraft are represented in the stores here as realities of worid-wide service. Herearethere is to be scen a * Depot for the Sale of American Goods,” or au_American warehouse, where the clocks of Connecticut, the furnitare of Fennsylvania, hardware from New York, or pressed beef from Chicago is the specialty. . At one of the busiest street-corners here a crowd is alwaysto be scen gathered round a window filled with articles which can at once be recormized as home-made. The sclection in question is extensive, and thourh it may not include everythine from atub to a toothpick. I can answer for the tub and ihe tootnpick them- sclves. The woodenware, such as churns, buckets, lemon-squeezers, ctc., excite great admiration among the thrifty Scotch house- S g 1 " enny wumman,” I heard another, what sram biz bingth - o 1© “What is a bine?’ asked T of a Glaszow TBbiser wn +#A bine?. Why, a bine or boin is a w: an the bizger the boln the. morc room fhor for tramping the clotkes, which is the old- fashioned way of washing in Scotland.” But Amencan washiog-machines and clothes- wrinzers promise to introduce a new era.

The same house, besides dealinz largely in American hardware, recerve large im- portations of . deal doors, window-sashes, and pine coffins. DRUNKENNESS, I visited the warerooms of an undertaker here who receives regular consiznments of cof- fins. Surorised at the extent of his stock, I ventured to express a bope that he anticipated 0o unusual demand. “*Ob, no!” he said cheer- fully; “thereis very little dolng. The sanitary fever is the only epidemic Glaszow suffers from.” I learned from this plessant gentleman the interesting fact, that ten years ago the deaths in Glaszow amounted to an averaze annual rate of about 30 per 1,000 of population, bat that now it is returned at not much over 20; that this re- imarkable deerease in the mortality is due to the extensive city’ improvements which have been effected ~ during these, years, at a cost of about fifteen miliion dollars, whercby nar- row back strects bave been gutted out, large open spaces cleared in the most thickly- populated districts, aud light and air h.-lt, into the darkest ana densest coruers. But a' great deal yet remains to be done in Glaszow, it ap- ears, notwithstanding the improyements which ave cut off a part of the undertaker’s business. Here {s Prof. Shairp, of Oxford, a Scotchman of the Scotch, denouncing the Glasgow Hizh Street, in a speeeh at Edinburg the other day, s a ~*nether pit of soctal burbarism.” ‘Somenody else, I forget who, has lately de- seribed Glasrow as the modst drunken city in the most drunisen country in the world. Now, com- parisons are odious, and sweepini charges azainsy commuuities are too easily mude to be seriously recetved; but_assuredly nobody who has seen Glasgow on a Saturday night will rank sooriety as its crowning virtue. : 7 At the same tine, those who have secn the knots of uuwashed, uncombed, blear-eyed vouths that gather on Sunday about the ojen doors of the win-shops in London, aud spead the day iIn alternate swearing withont and swigging within, will be inclined to ind fault with the Forbes-Mackenzie Act for Keeping similar dens in Scotiand rigorously closed on the seventh day of the week. The act is evaded to some extent nevertheless at hotels and places so-catled. On presenting ourselves one Sunday at a botel in a certain Square, the following colloguy took place: .1 canuot let you in, gentlemen.™ “ Wy « Because it's Sunday, and we are obliged to keep shut.” “But this is a hotel, isn't {t?? & Yes.” ‘“‘Then we must get in.” # But are you travelers?”? “ Great travelers.” + But bouy Hiddy (bona fide) travelers?" “Oh! bony fiddy of course.” ¢ Bug have vou traveled more than three milesthis sery day?”’: “Two or threemiles!

A'scene such as. this, and a system such as here prevails, will strike those who have been accustomed to walk up to the bar of a hotel on Sunday the same as on Saturday as hypozritical and queer. I never was in any community where social and ceremouious drinkin 7 is carried to such an extent as in Glasgow. Every occasiou is taken, every opportumity seized, for celebrating therites of Bacclius and pouring down libatious into his chosen temple—the stomach. Wine and epirity ace produced, no watter at_what hour you wnay choose to make a call.

Glase.ow has great need of its University as a check on its mouey-grubbing, and Scotland, teo, has great need of the more mtellectual, serener atmospbere of {ts Capital City, Edinburg, as a corrective to the smoke and sordid tendencies of Glaegow.

Higginson and Mr. Wasson Pick Up the Gauntlet of * Universal Suffrage " Thrown Out in the Lust Part of ths Essny, and Do Battle with Esch Other—A General Discussion. From Our Oun Correspondent. Bostoy, Mass., Oct. 23.—One of the most beautiful of these last lovely days of October was the opening-day for the winter session of the Chestnut Street Club, in Mrs. Sargent’s well-known parlors. The general attendaoce was about as usual. The epecials were Col. T. . Higginson, D. A, Wasson, Prof. Felix Ad- ler (the new President of the Free Religious Assoclation), Mr. C. P. Cranch, the artist and poet, Prof. Pierce of Harvard, the Rev. Mr. Potter of New Bedford, Prof. Hystt of tne School of Technolcgy, and Mr. Thomas David- son, the essayist of the morning. Air. Davidson’s subject was a very suzgestive one, “ [ndividuality.” To the ordinary render this would convey a very clear aud open theme whichh every one might easily follow through illustration and simile; but let not the ordinary reader or thinker délude himsclf or herself into the notion that, however simole the subject may seem, it is to be elucidated and treated at the Chestnut Street Club io auy simpleaud ordinary mapner. Far from it. The savans of the Chest- nut Street Club are not coutent with the sur- face of thinge, or even the first layer of the see- ond crust of thought. They begin at the begin- ning of things—at the first strata, the primal root—and work up. So Mr. Davidson, tv give his subject complete elucidation, went back to the ancients, and traced the progress of phil- ‘osophical thought from its start with the Greek philosophers. “INDIVIDUAL,"” IN IT3 RADICAL MEANING,. Is g “.e same as “atom,” he told us,— “atom " as used by modern physicists. The fundamental question which embraces all—the whole subjecs of philosophy—is: What is the uature of individuaiity? Thought first rested upon the conception of & universal physical element. Atter this, I'ytoagoras introduced the ides of abstract form or numver. At first there was the idea of upizy. Pythagoras introduced that of multiplicity. Thus we get the primitive forns of the antithetic identity and multiplicity which run_through all philosophy. The lonic school was developed by Heraclitus. Among the followers of the fonicare the Stoies and the school of Hegel. Neither Heraclitus nor the Eclectics arrived at permanent individuality. The one - assumed absolute matter and denied absolute form; but both matter and form are predicates of individuale, thourh neither is alone. TRE PROGRESS OF PHILOSOPHY was then traced through Anaxagoras, Socrates, the Sophists, Plato, and Aristotle, demonstrating that each ol them had a definite place in the development of thourht,—first, formless mat- ter; second, matterless form or nwmber; third, conditioned matter; fourth, conditioned ideas. Tet nonc of thiese Accounts for things as they are. A deus ex machina is atways needed, and the ground of all real existence is ail real ex- istence,—a Pantheism with which no Luman mind was ever satisfled. After Plato baa brought philosophy to the conditioned fdea came Aristotle and tried to account for all being. LIS GREAT BERVICE was that he saw the law thac the true individual is always subject and never cau be predicate; but he falléd to find permancnt, real individuality. -In the Middle Azes the contest between Platon- ism aud Aristotelisnism cawe into_ the Church with complete acceptance by: the latter, and to this day the Roman ~Cath- olic ‘Cburch holds the doctriues of Aris- totle. From all these gradatious of philosophy and varieties of philosophies Mr. Davidson. evolved bis theory of judividuality. Individual- ism impliés unity und multiplicity, and the ab- solute identity of the two, If God’s creating manin Hisown image means anyiling, it is that He gove as His substautial essence some- thing which should be_oncand many, and one in ibe same sense in which it is many. In con- sciousness we have the ouly thing waich cor- responds to the conception of unity with multi- plicity. The unity is the subject or eo, and the multiplicity is the object or external world which is necdfulto our thought of persoual identity, and the two are the same. The entire unity of consciousness is in every thought, and every seoarate thought presupposes the entire unity of consciousness. This identification of individuality with triune. consciousness makes both Atheism and Panthefsm impossible. In the Middle Ages, frecdom was nearly extinguished by the doctrive of the omuipotence of God and the nothingness of the human individual. But since the Reformation the case has nearl y re- *LICENSE, [ first cause at all. versed. The present cry for freedomn which takes the form of 5 ATHEISYM, AND UNIVERSAL SUP- FRAGE, is just gs onc-stded, and leads to os inde- seribable’ results, as the theory of complete subjection which prevafled in medieval Europe. A willing subjection is the most rfect free- dom, for it is the freedom in subjection and ion in freedom which makes perfect in- dividuality possible, concluded Mr. Davidson. Dr. Bartol—who' since Mr. Sargent’s death takes the part of host at the Club—arose at this conclusfon, acd, after n warm culogium of the essay, said thatthe great difficulty he thought was'to conceive the One. The triune muiti- plicity in one are but repetitions of the onc, and the whole reaches over into the infinite, and there our speculations fal _Prof. ‘Prerce, whose_studics: belong to the igher mathematics, aiter miodestly declaring that he did not feel cnouxh acqualnted with metavhysies to offer -any criticlsm upon Ar. Davidson’s essay, would say that ho would like 1o know more of the conuection between the old Greekand the Chaldaic philosophers. From the tablets lately discovered in Nineveh it scems that the flual result of thelr phitosopby was, that there were two beings,—the ideaand chaos. Power and motion then caine in, and the upi- verse was developed. Moses, who probably got his accounts from the Chaldees, added the idea of the Delty. Prof. Picrce sald that he doubted if the human mind could reason With regard to the infinite. From our knowledge of the planets WE MUST CONCLUDE THAT THE UNIVERSE IS EINITE, for if the plaucts were not finite thev would be luminous, which they are not. ‘The tendency of modern science is to come to a point where there shall be no final action. Then the force in the universe must be a fiuite force. But the power iu the universe, he thouzht, could not huve had a beginnine, and it must: have been fn the world at its_bewinning. If anythingis true in physics it is this: ‘Ihat this power is {nfinite. Man cannot reason about it. . We may call it what we will, but we bave this power,—wa have God in every part of the universe. Mr. Felix Adler, being invited to speak, said, to begin with, that the buman mind demands a first cauge, aud the next step Is, that it demands the cause of the first cause; and so we bave no Both these demands of the mind should be recognized. If God was the causc of the world nnd was cternal, then the world was eternal, which was a contradiction. The doctrine of the Trinityis but a falr, allurice fantasy. It covers the abyss of the infinite, and is like n bridee of flowers, which will not ‘bear substantial footsteps. Mr. Wasson here said that he wonld like to say a word in regard to the subject as relating to the matter of universal sullrage, ete. e did not believe in so much individualism as had been developed in the last few years. He fully beheved in Mr. Davidson’s idea’that in willing subjection alone is real freedom,—and by that of course he meant intellizent subjection.” Out of this doctrine aud following of individualism had come TEN THOUSAND “I WILLS,"” and out of this comes our democracy. Until we get a “ Thou Shalt ™ fu politics we- have no Commouwealth, Mr. Wasson was on his favorite ground,—that of oppesition to universal suflrage without education. Col. Higginson now eame fo with his gloves on ready lor contest, as he generally is. fe is 28 much for universal suffrage as Mr. Wasson is azainst He sald io the firét piace that he didv’t think he understood Mr. Davidson’s essay, but that he had no.doubt but that was his own fault. After speakivz on this matter for some time, he went on to say that he shrunk from insisting upon the importance of authority at the -present time, for it is out of this that Comumuunism will come for the first growthand he shrank from Com- munisin and the principle of absolute obedicnee to an absolute authority. It pointsdireetlytothe time when the people will rise and tuke ail the railroads and trains, and work them in the in- terest of that absolute power. ~ To his mind the only wayr in which we can get that absclute poer are through UBREDITARY MONARCHY, THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, OR THE COMMUNE. Universal suffrage is better than this with its individualism, and he believed it best to have as l’ljuc government as possible, rather than too much. Mr. Wasson here came in again with his- word for the ““'Thou Shalt,” saying that behind that laid the ** Qugnt.” AMr. Higyrluson replied that the representative teachier of that doctrine—Carlyle—had always stopped short of telling how far the *OQuzht” went. For a practieal way of learning what it i, apart from the three acbitrary ways mention- ed, Mr. Higrinson thought thai the old, slow, clumsy method of educating thoe race the best way of finding the *Ought.” Prof. Hyatt, on being Tovited to speak, made something the same excuse that Prof. Pierce gave, that as a student in ove department of exact seience he did not feel bimsélf able to fol- low philosophical metaphysics. But he woula say one thing: that he doubted the conclusion that we can reach with our intellizence regard- ing the nature of thought. He did not think we could predicate anything beyond the state- ment that matter is influite. e repeated mod- estly that he did not think himself capable of critiuising the essay, as he d!d not think that he understood 1t sufliciently. This recalled Mr. Hizzinson’s statement of non-compreheusion, especially when Mr. David- son rose and said that be doubted if he could make himself clearer where he had not been understood; but that he noticed one thing: that THOSE WHO UNDERSTOOD MHIM AGREED WITH Iy, and those who did not understand him @id not agree with bim. . ? ‘Taere wasa general laugh at this, and Mr. Davidson went oa to say that he ccrtainly had not meant to deciare for nui' form of absolut- jsm, and that he thourht his essay went to show that all ezisteoce fmplled an identity of contraries, and that the trouble ol modern thought was that 1¢ asserted the impossibility of conceiving the unity of contradictions. The meering broke up after this with a very pleasant interchange of friendly greeting, -and with the anticipation of listening nexc month to the warlike Colonel. N.P. ————— HUMOR.

The turtle then dropped its head over to unc side, and the negro, thinking he had drowned it, jumped into the creek. He causht the turtle by the tafl, put it between his teeth, and held on to it while he _cut a slit in two of the fect for hand holds. He then started for the bank, but found it ascvere struzgle, as the turtle would hold to the roots and branches of trces in the creek. The nezro finally got the turile on its back and pushed it out of the water. The turtle welghed seventy-seven pounds, and had a head that measured seven and a bialf inches across the top. ART NOTES. " English, French, and Amerlcan Pictures at - the Paris Exposition. Speetal Correspondence of The Tribtine. Paris, Oct. 10.—I think that a short descrip- tion of some of the best pictures exhibited by France, Great Britain, and the United States may be of interest to those of your readers who have been unable to judze for themselves. iu the French gallery much space is taken up with the most Impossible pictures, generally of a re- ligious character. As most of these are but bad imitations of the old masters, I trust 1 may be forgiven 1f I pass them over in silence, givivg the preference to the historical pictures, which are, many of them, of great merit. Two taken from Roman history are especlally well con- ceived and nobly executed. The first, by Mr. Benjamin Ulmaun,represents “Sullaat the House of Marius.” The rivals confront each other, the deadivnatred andjealousy which existed between them plainly ‘written upon ecither face. Sulla stands before his coemies every inch a man, fn- domitable wilt and energy fn every line of his handsome. face, which the powerful intellect, that made lis vices the more deplorable, re- deems from seusuality. It Is the face of the man upon whose tomb they did well to write that none ever did so much good to his friends, s0 much cvil to kis enemics. All around him s contusion; he alone is calm, and seems filied with that sclf-contidence in hits own powers which caused bim to take the surname of Fefix (the Fortunate). = The other principal firures are ascarefully depicted as Is Sulla, nouwithstand- ing the fact that the room represented is crowd- cd with excited men roing and cominz. Tne face of Marius is not o fine as that of Suilaj at the sizht of his younz rival his fnee is almos distorted by that stronrest of human passions. —fricndship turned to hate. . ‘T'ne second Roman picture is the * Dead Body ot Julius Cresar,” by Mr. L A. Rixens. The news of Ciesar's death has spread like wildtire throuehout the city. Overcome by terror, the citizens have goueht refuzein their own homes, The Forum is deserted. Three slaves of the household of Ciesar have taken the opportunity to convey his body home. They are representedd by the artist descending a few steps, which lead out of the square, bearing upon their shoulders the corpse of the great warrior, whose voice but vesterday was all-howerlul in Rome, and whose nst words, **Et tu, Brute,” have been just spoken, His face is full of @ sharp agony, his robe plerced by the swords of bis toes. The background is very dark,—the three bearers, apparently, the only living creatures in tbe wreat. city. Another historical pleture of some merit is The Death of Francesca de Riouni and Paoly Malatesta,” by Mr. A. Cavanel. The outraged husband, havirg taken his terrible revenge upon his false wife and brother, is scen in the back- ground disavpearing behiind a heavy curtain. The dead body of Francesca is stretebed upon a divan in the foreground; her lover has iallen beside her; his arm still supports her pretty head; her face Is so girhsh and fuir that one can- Dot think without a pang of the lines of Danie's “Inferno which tell of ber guilty love... There are no sizns of blood upon the rich dresses of the murdered lovers, which, as LancioLto slew them with the sword, scems rather unoatural. “Thamar sod Absalom,” by the same artist, is equally fine, but, for myseli, I distike_those pamiul subjects, and, excellent as are both pict- ures, I should not care to possess eitber. “The finest mythological picture fn the French department is by Mr. F.J. Barrlas, “Eloetra carrying Libations to the Tomb of her Father.” Electra is represented attired in a lons white robe; she holds in oue hand an urn, while the other is raised aloft as though she would call the gods to witness the words from Sopnocles’ drama of * Eleotra”: * Lloathe these sanguinary fustivals, which they dare call the Festival of Agamemnon.” ‘Her father Agamemnon has been slain by his wife Clytemnestra, and ner lover. Undaunted by the daugers arouund ber, Lis daughter goes forth to bis tomb, leavioz be- hind her the festival-keepers, whose brigat mar- ments make an excellent background to ber rall figure. The only bit of color in_the foreground is a crimson_flower which bus fallen upou the white marble step. Something in the face of Electra tells us that thu venseance for which she lones will not be long delayed. “ Floru aud Zephyrus,” by Mr. \W. Bouzuerean, /{3 a charming couception. Zepbyrus, who is the very embodiment of a soft summer wind, is rathier spoiled by a small pairof butterfly He is in the act of giving Flora one of his soit- cst kisses as she lies slecping among wyriads of ber own flowers. Mr. James Bertrand exhibits a picture en- titled * "The Death of Virginie,” which [ remem- ber to have scen in London in 18570, Your read- crs may, perhaps, romember that Virginie met her death rather than dispense with any of her garments. I do not know what AMr. Bernardin de St. Pierre found so admirable in a young woman who, face toface with so_terrible a «death, could think only of the propricties. Such, however, was Virrinie, and she is represented as lylug on the sea-sbore, most correctly attired, with the exception of one littlc shioe, which the cruel waves bave wrenched from her pretty foot. One is alinost sorry for her, notwithstand- ing the fact that there 1s too muck of the iypi- cal “jeune fille” about ber. The oncominx wave, over which a bird bovers, is_well painted, while the snadow ol the bird, dimly defined up- on the waters, thouzh a little bit of clap-trap, las an excellent offect. Another picture by the same artist is called “Tne Marguerite of Faust,” and, if not_the Margruerite of Faust, she is certainly the Mar- wuerite of the Italian opera. The picture rep- resents a poorly-furnished room where Mar- guerite kneels before the dead body of ier child. Mephistopheles, a very stagy Mephistopheles, sits in the window, playimng sote gay tune, perhaps the lovely waltz which they played when first she met Faust, and all ber sorrows beean. Mr. Gustave Dore exhibits several pictures, which have alreadv appeared in the Dore Gal- lery, in London, notable among which are “The Neophyte” and *'The Christian Martyrs.” The tirst is a fine studv of old fuces. Tha last rep- rescnts a Roman amphitheatre, literally strewed with the bodies of the dead, over which the lions still keep ‘their fearful watch. The sky above is spangled with stars. Three angels hover over the awful scene, while others are dtmly visible descending irom Heaven. A little bit of nature rests one's eyes after ail these paiuful cvidences of **whal man has made of man,” and “The Valley of Cernay,” by Mr. L. G. Pelouse, 15 as charming a picturo of a wild woodland path as one would wish to see, Autumnp has already tinged the tlowers, and the path is covered with dead leaves. A little spring trickles from a rock in the fore- ground, beside which an old wonin is stooping to gather the dried sticks and brancbes, TUERE 18 A MARKED ABSENCE of those wonderful battle-pieces which lined the walls in the Exhibition of 1867, Bitter reality has evidently taken much from the Ppoin aud circumstance of war. I must not fail to mention the only warlike picture, which much pleased g, one by tne late Mr. G. Rewa- mey, entitied **The Sapeurs.” They are a fine sct'of men, and mounted on noble horses. In the distance the rafnfis fallinz in_sheets, while the wind catches the red cloaks of themen and the maues of their horses as they plod on througn the sodden earth, I no sooner cntered the English gallery than I spicd many old friends which i;nlmd scen at Burlington Mouse, and in Philudelphia ut our own Centenuial. welcomed themn as I would a well-known air in a heavy opera. There were several of Lavscer's which I Ind not scen fora tong time: * Swans Attacked by Eagles,” and making such a brave, though hopeless defense, poor prety whits things! ¢ Lle Sick Monkey, curled up 1n its mother's arms, and looking so uncowfortably human ss to be a_joy forever to Mr. Darwin. "Some half-dozen pictures of Mr. Frith’s are grouped together, ““The Darby- Day,” “The Railway Staton,” which represents the arrest of Roupell, the great forger, and “The Last Sunday of Charles IL at White- ball.” ¢ The Merry Monarch,” who never saida foolish thing, and never did a wise one, reclines upon a sofa, a fair lady by bis side; at his feet sits another, whom I took fur the “poor Nelly * whose welfare he had sufliciént’y at heart to express a wish upon bis: deathbed, that some onc should take care of ber. Jumes stands at a short distance from the King, speculating, to | judge from his face, How lony he will be Keos out of his inheritance, and little dreamfog that his crown will be 50 soon won and so soon lost. Another historical picture i3 ** Amv Robsart,” by W. F. Yeames. Deceived by the false signal given by the villain Varney, which she takes to be her husband’s, she lias rushed from the room across the trap-door, which gave way. *‘Therc was a rushing sound—a heavy fall—a fant groan, and all was over.” The poor young girl lies in the foreground of the picture, quite dead, ber rich white dress a fine contrast to the stone floor upon which sbe has fallen. - Above stand the tivo wretches, Varney and Foster. Varoey is saymg “Look down into the vault—what seest” thou?’ and Foster answers him, “I see on{; a heap of white clothes like o snow-drift.” ‘et another historical picture is **Catherige of Lorraine Urging Joha Clement to Assassinate Heury the Third,” by Mr. P. H. Calderon. The victure is well conceived. * The face of the Duchess is really beautiful, though full of the hate which made ber say upon hearing that Henry was dead, “I have but one reeret, that dying be should not bave known that- it was I who dealt the blow.” I fear, however, that the artist has confounded the respective ages of the lady and gentleman. Jobn Clement was only 25 when he died, whereas the Domimean brother to whom Catherine is speaking fs at least 40; she herselt lovks oot more thao 23, white at the time ol Lenry’s death she must have been 37. . Mr. J. G. Sandemau, the well-known London wine-merebant, bas lent a picture, by Mr. Or- chardson, which Lam auch inclined to cnvy him. An Old-World picture, it takes one back to the time of the Georzes, and’ almost makes one wish to have lived in those good old days when George the Thivd was King.” IHow- ever, as Thackeray sald, we will console our- self with thic thousht that **They took ther vleasures in the dark,” and remember what a blessinr gasis. This picture {s aptly called “The Queen of the Swords,” the wentlemen, in crimson coats, knee-breccnes, and powdered pig-tails, have crossed their swords, uvder which their fair partners are passing.

The light aud airy costumes and straight profiles of the Kasterns becowme monotonous n time. I must® not attempt to deseribe any more of the Euglish pictures, wuich are really so worthy of praise thoe it is il ible to do them justice where space is limited. I will e by mentioning some of our 0wn artists. ose who remember now very, very few were the good pictures exhibited by Amcrivan artists in the last Paris Exnibition, will hail with joy the immense itprovement in 1873. ‘The exnibit is comparatively small, BUT REALLY EXCELLENT. Mr. Church exhibits two pictures than which nothiog cau be fner,—namely, *Moroine in the Tropies” and ** The Parthenon.” The frst represents a river shining in - the early-morning sun. Down to its very banks, drooping into ita waters, arc wonderful, luxuriant tropical trees and shrubs. A warm, hazy mist bangs over the river in the far distaace, and the day will be, On! sowarm. The second, though not so dreamily besutiful, is equally well cxecuted. The Psrthenon, more eruad by far in -its ruined. Leauty, stands aeaninst a cloudless sky. Mars and Venus, long since forgotton, know it no more. The foreground is in shadow, and such shadow ! > Mr. P. W. Danadeserves verv great credit for his picture entitled **Solitude,” which is a mere waste of waters; nor bird nor sail appears any- where. It is midnignt and miadocean; & fair white moon has risen behind a bank of smowy clouds. Tne man who painted it bas felt the * Pleasure in the pathlesg jvoods, a rapture on the lopely shore,” and. knows how dear to one may be the *“society where none in- trudes, by the decp sea, and music In its roar.” The uncertaio rise and fall of the waters is beautifully depicted, ever changing, vet ever the same. Another fine bit of sea-painting is “The Rewurn of the Life-Boat,” by Mr. E. Moran. ‘The gallant littte boat pauses on the top of an enormous wave; the next will land ber on the shore. Many rough scamen have waded out into the fonming surl, and are pulling with a will upon the ropes which arc attached to the boat; suother moment and she will be in. Far- ther along the shore is a group of men, women. aud children, aoxious watchers, whose hearts are at last at rest. The storm has spent itself, but the waves still swell mountains high. Lake Champlain at Ferrisburgh i3 a pretty bit of Amerfcan ‘scenery. The distance is es- pedally good. It isa pity that American artists do not confine themselves to American land- scapes. ‘There are numberless Italian, Spanisn, and-French scenes, and not more thana_dozen distinctively American pictures. One of these is +*The Passing Show,” by Mr. J. B. Brown. Barnum has arrived, and nis bill is posted upon the walls, surmounted by his own picture. All that you se¢ - of the show is what is reflected on the faces of five urchins who are standing at the cxtreme edze of the sidewalk and enjoying It beyond medsure. No native-born American could pass this little picture without a smile, and perbaps a sigh given to the days that were. Sinee writ- ing the above 1 bave heard, with much pleasure, that Mr. Dana has received the gold medal tor his pleture *Solitude.” There were several pictures which 1 saw in Philadelphia at the Loan Collection. Iwas alsappointed that there should be nothing by sfr. Bierstadt, und but oue picture by Miss Thompson. now Mrs. Butler, whose “Return from lukermaun " is extibited io the Engiish gallery. M.
