A Visit to the National Gallery of i Paintings. Some Celebrated Works of the Old Masters, A Dinner at Lord Frederick Cavendish’s—The Meitish Neveu, Spectat Correspondence of The Chicago Tribune, Loxpox, Eng, Oct. 18—After a rather bolsterous voyage from Now York our steamer, the Britannic, reached the harbor of Queenstown ih ten days, and I can assure you a more welcome haven never greeted storm-togsed and weary travelers, ‘The day previous wind and waves seemed to lave spent thelr fury, and on awakening In the morning J found the sun glimmering through the dead light of the cabin, heralding a pleasant day, which was followed by & moonlignt night and 1 calm sen. With a plensant breeze before us we glided onward, passlng a large steamer whieh by signals we discovered belonged to the Na- ttonal Lite, and also that she had started three days before the Britannia, At midnight we were stif] 350 miles from Queenstown on this our niith day out; but, as uur progress was favorable, we anticipated reaching there the following day. Our hopes were not dis- appoluted, and nt half-past 1 o'clock the next. afternoon word was passed thata tte from Queenstown was approaching, when L went ott to watch her, and we soon found ourselves lylng just outside of the harbor, When the tug came up, newspaper men, as usual, boarded the steamer, together with an old fruit-venue whoze costuine and brogue proclalmed wi infstakably that she was fresh from the Em- erald Isle, while her grotesque appearance generally created great amusement among us, Afterrecelving the mulls and a few’ pns- sengers, the tug departed, and the Lritannie resumed her course towards Liverpool, The chinnnel was as smooth as a river, and, an- other moonlight night favoring the end of our oceatl-voyage, we almost forgot the mitl- ocean storms, and thelr dark horizons In the heauty surrounding us. On Wednesday, our eleventh day out, the Britannte arrived at Liverpool, about half-past & a. m.; bul, being obliged to walt two hours to have bagga passed by custom-house officers, It was hnalf- past 10 before we left for the London depot. At2o’clock we started for that clty, where we arrived In five and 9 half hours—the dis- tance between Liverpool aud London belng 200 nites. A LONDON, Procuring accommodations at the Lang- haw Hotel—which, like most others in Lon- don, 1s on the European plan--£ started out the following day to take n glance at some of the sights of this wonderful city, so fraught with interest in the present as well as In the past, As the day was stormy, 1 took the underground railrond, and, on leaving it, walked in tho direction of St, Martin's Church, which was built by Str Cristopher Wren In the Fifteenth Century; | whic structure is most Imposing in Its beautiful provortions and finish, I also passed the National Gallery of Paintings; but, as thine was too limited then to investl- gate its treasures, this pleasure was nost- poned till the following day, or I may say AVS. While at breakfast next morning I was handed an Invitation to ding at the residence of Lord Frederick Cavendish on the follow: ing Friday, which at first I concluded to de- cling, not having provided myself with a dress-sult; but, on reconsidering toe mutter, Tehanged my mind, and proceeded to a fash- Jonabie tailor to order the: necessary cos- tune, which he promised to have ready at the required thng, Lord Frederick Is ‘the second son ofthe Duke of Devonshire, and lead-ofticer of the ‘Treasury of Great Britain, Li the meantinie, visited Somerset House, This celebrated structure is very large, there being two humense court-yards surrounded by buildings, within whoso walls is conduet- etlall the business of the revenue of the Kingdom, After leaving this. 1 passed the Egyptian Obelisk, and proceeded to the NATIONAL GALLERY OF PAINTINGS, whore we are brought fuce to face with most of the celebrated masters, and where can be traced the progress of art from age to age. Ilere Titlan greets us with his warm hues; Rubens with his rich coloring; the painter of “bonne compagnie,” Paoli Veronese, “with his lords und ‘indies, falr-hatred beautles and rictily-atlired Knights, his draperies of satin, and comask, and vloth of gold and silver,’ and all this harmonious and uel toned; Corregglo, the master of tha school of Parma, the painter of Antiope, that eternal wonder; Guido, Murillo, Tunto- retto, Vandyck, Cuyp, Rembrandt, Poussin; and, Ina word, all the grandest masters the world over knew. aAinong all these {lustrious names none np: peal more powerfully to the hnagination than those of Ruysdadl, Wynants, Hobbema, and Van der Neer, In the very simplicity of thelr subjects—subjects without pretension, und sumetines without a name, but always fujl ot poesy, There are no montments here, no ruins of temples or palaces; Dut stead, a few rusties about — disap- pearing, after their day’s — Inbor, in the mists of the horizon; or perhaps a frozen river or a forest-scene, Van der Neer fdenlizes the most ordinary landscapes by throwing over them a shimmer of mounliglit —thus interesting us ina lowly cablu where i@ poor are sleeping, while tho scanty follags of sone stunted trees, senttered here and thore, is fluttering. in the night-wintd, And how It entrances us to run across ths thickets of Ruysdadl, or to contemplate the LANDSCAPES OF HOBNEMA In thelr twillght beauty!
