Wilkes Booth, the murderer of President Lincoln, gnd David Harold, one of his accomplices, having been the Potemac river into Virginia, and thence across the Rappahannock, by a detachment of the Sixteenth Mew «York cavalry, under Lieutenant Docherty, ‘were on lastWednesday morning found near Bowling Green, in Caroline county, Va The two culprits on discovering that all retreat was cut off, took refuge in @ barn and refused to surrender. In order to force them out, the building was sct on fire, It soon becoming very hot within, Harold gave himself up; but bis villanous comrade still doggedly declined to submit to arrest. Sergeant Cor- Dett finally fired a shot at Booth, which took effoct in his head, producing a wound which rosulted in his death in ees than three hours afterwards. The dead body of Booth and the prisoner Harold arrived in Washington yesterday morning, and the latter was immediately placed in close confinement. Booth, Harold and Atzerot, for whose arrest rewards ‘mounting altogether to one hundred and forty thousand dollars had been offered, have all now been secured. Of this sum one hundred thousand dollars were offered by the War Department, ten thousand dollars by Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania; twenty thousand dollars by the ‘Washington City Councils, and ten thousand by the City Councils of Baltimore. The train conveying the remains of President Lincoln, having left Albany at four o'clock on Wednesday after- Boon, arrived at Buffalo at seven o'clock yesterday morning. Notwithstanding the greater part of the trip Detween these two citics was made at night, all along the line mournful crowds were collected to catch a view of the passing cortege. The buildings were appropriately draped, flags were half-masted, and bonfires and torclies illumnined the sad pa- geant. All through the dark hours, as tho train sped on, at each city, town, village and station these testimonies of the people’s affection and grief were repeated. On arriving in Buffalo a civic and mili- tary procession escorted the body to St. James Hall, where soon after the public were admitted to view it. There was, of course, the same anxiety here as ast every other place to look upon the face of the martyr President. At ten o'clock last night the remains were again placed on board the train, en route for Cleveland, whero they are expected ‘to arrive ‘at seven o'clock this morning. So far on the route from Washington the schedule timo fixed upon for reaching and leaving each place has been strictly adhered to, and not the slightest accident to mar or interfere with the solemnity of the sad ceremonies has occurred. Secretary Stanton, in an official despatch, gives the Important information that Generals Meade, Sheridan, ‘Wright, Thomas and Canby have all been instructed to pay no attention to General Sherman's trace arrange- ments with Joe Johnston and Breckinridge; but to con- tinue pushing the enemy with their various commands, and endeavor to cut off Johnston's retreat from North Carolina. General Halleck, in a despatch from Richmond to the War Department, suggests that General Wilson also be directed to obey no orders from Sherman, in considera- tion of the fact that it has been ascertained that the specie plundered from the Richmond banks by Jeff. Davis, and widely ostimated at between six and thirteen millions of dollars, was recently being Moved southward in wagons from Greensboro, N. G., ag fast as possible. General Halleck likewise sug- goats that it would be advisable to make known this fact to General Canby and all the national army commanders along tho Mississippi river, eo that they may be prepared to intercept this heavy supply of funds which the rebel chiof is ondeavoring to get out of the country with. Gen. ‘Wilson, when last heard from, after having swopt through the heart of Alabama with a splendid body of cavalry belonging to General Thomas's army, had moved enst- ‘ward into Georgia and captured Macon, from which place he was directed to withdraw by Gencral Sherman, fm consideration of the terms of negotiation with Joe Johnston. Accounts of furthor lamentable effects of General Sher- man’s armistice continue to be received. One portion of General Stoneman’s force, under Colonel Palmer, and another under General Gillem, wore arrested in the full tide of most successful expeditions by advices from General Sherman informing them of ® cessation Of hostilities, Colonel Palmer was raiding unchecked in ‘Western North Carolina, along the Catawba river, where be had dispersed a portion of Johnston's rebel army en- Geavoring to escape southwestward, captared over two fhousand prisoners and some artillery, and destroyed, among other things of much value to the rebels, an im- tmonse railroad bridge across the Catawba General Gil- the Northern lakes.

In evening session bills were adopted to amend the Registry law; to authorize the Third Avenue Railroad Company to oxtend their track, and to provide for the laying out of a plot of ground in the Park for the erec- tion of a monument to Abraham Lincoln. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. In the United States Commissionor’s office Emil Cor- sara and Louis Laze were yesterday examined by Com- missioner White on a charge of passing counterfeit fifty cent currency. The case was adjourned to Saturday at eleven o'clock. The Board of Councilmen did not hold any meeting yesterday, a quorum not being present at the call of the roll, There will be a meoting of the Board on Monday. Yesterday, in the Court of Goneral Sessions, Peter Heffernan, a noted shoplifter, was convicted of larceny, having, in December, 1862, stolen a box of silver watches from a jewelry store in Maiden Jane. He was remanded for sentence. The motion set down for yesterday by the Recorder, which was to be mado by counsel for Peter R. Strong, now under indictment for an attempt to commit ‘an abortion upon his wife, was postponed till Saturday by Judge Russel, who occupied the bench in the ab- sence of Recorder Hoffman. Counsel intends to move for a speedy trial or a quashing of the indictment. At the regular monthly meeting of the Chamber of Com- merce, held yesterday, the report of the committee ap- apointed to draw up an expression of opinion regarding the disposition to be made by government of the cotton captured at Savannah by General Sherman was read. It recommends that a distinction be made between loyal and disloyal claimants, and suggested that some provi- sion should be made for reimbursing out of the proceeds of the seizure Northern merchants who suffered losses at the commencement of the rebellion from the indebted- ness of their Southern customers. The entire amount of this indebtedness is stated to be one hundred and fifty ‘millions of dollars. An animated debate took place on the report, after which it was agreed to print five hundred copies of it and leave over decision on its adoption or rejection until the meeting on the 11th proximo, Mr. Cyrus W. Field was announced as the representative of the Chamber in the Suez Canal demonstration. ‘A mecting of the congregation of Rev. Dr. Downing’s church took place last evening, at which a series of resolutions culogistic of Abraham Lincoln, appointing a committee to raise funds for the dollar monument to his memory, coudemnatory of the act of the assassin, and expressive of confidence in the now administration, were unanimously adopted. General Hiram Walbridge also delivered an eloquent and stirring address in the same spirit, which was received with flattering applause, A German, named Charles Ulman, was yesterday com- mitted to the Tomba, charged with having committed a burglary at 191 Chatham street on last Sunday night. Dr. Franz Heil, of Detroit, recently arrived in this city and stated to the police authorities that his wife had eloped with the Rev. John Wittmoyer, pastor of St. Joseph's Catholic church, of Detroit, and that he had reason to believe the errant pair were in New York. Search resulted in finding them living together as man and wife in City Hall place, and yesterday they were taken back to Detriot in chargo of an officer. Superintendent Kennedy, of the Metropolitan Police force, has issued an order complimenting the mon under his command for the manner in which they performed their extra arduous duties attendant on the obsequies of President Lincotn, during Monday and Tuesday last, Edward Ingersoll, who is charged with making a strong secession speech in this city a few days ago, on arriving in Philadelphia yesterday morning on board a railroad train was waited upon by a commiitee who demanded an apology for his alleged treasonable remarks. This he ro- fused to make, when he was surrounded by an indignant crowd, on one of whom he drow a pistol; but before ho could use ithe was secured by the police, taken to a station house, and, in default of two thousand dollars bail, locked up. The feeling against him on the part of the people was very strong, and but for the greatest ox- ertions of the officers he would probably have been very severely dealt with. ‘The steamer New England, with a full cargo, destined for Boston, was set on fire by the explosion of a lamp while lying at her wharf at St. John, N.

Freights continued dull, 2 seermion shemes alone our Northern bor- ‘and whiskey was steady, with @ moderate inquiry, We have had quite enough of this sort of thing from both sides. Every good citizen ought to put his foot down upon such silly but annoy- ing falsehoods. The whole matter between Sherman and the government is extremely simple and easy to understand. General Sherman, with all his senses about him, made an agree- ment with the rebel Johnston, which virtually ended the military part of the rebellion; and he sent this agreement to Washington to be ap- proved or disapproved as the government might think proper. He committed an error, however, in granting the rebels an armistice while the negotiations were pending, instead of following Grant’s example and writing and fighting at the same time. The Lieutenant General and the government decided that Sher- man had exceeded his authority in entertaining propositions more political than military, and in granting the armistice which President Lin- coln had persistently refused. The agreement forwarded by him was disapproved; he was ordered to resume hostilities, and, to guard against garbled reports and misapprehensions, the public was officially informed of the facts, and of the derangements which Sherman’s armistice had caused in General Grant’s plans. This is the whole affair in a paragraph; and we may add that there will be no quarrel between Grant and Sherman, between Sherman and Pre- sident Johnson, or between Sherman and Secretary Stanton, concerning it. Each has done his duty in his own way and according to the best of his ability, and altheugh Sherman has undoubtedly failed in his attempt to assame the réle of a diplomatist, his reputation as a great, gifted and patriotic general is as untar- nished as ever. Is it not a little singular that, after four years of a tremendous civil war, with momen- tous issues to be dealt with every day, the partisan press has not risen to the dignity of the crisis and still goes mannder- ing along in the old, squabbling, impertinent, reckless, blundering way? The partisan edit- ors know that there has been but one duty plain before us all, and that is to support the government in its efforts to crush the rebellion. Yet no opportunity to hamper and hinder the government seems to have been overlooked; and now these papers are trying to breed dis. content, dissatisfaction and destruction in the very ranks of our army, by involving General Sherman ina personal quarrel with the Presi- dent and the Secretary of War. Of course their efforts will fail; but that does not lessen their guilt in making such efforts. The assassin did not succeed in killing Secretary Seward, but he ought to be hung for the attempt. The parti- san press, however, is all the more culpable from the fact that it has in the Heratp a model of what a patriotic journal ought to be and say and do in times like these. Moreover, our enormous circulation and overwhelming advertisement patronage should teach these partisan editors that to be popular they have only to be right. But, not withstanding precept and example, advice and warning, the dictates of duty and the demands of patriotism, the partisan press continues its career of petty bickerings, and will not discard its practice of distorting every event and mis- representing every officer and official to serve its own puerile political purposes. We protest against such a perversion of the profession of journalism, and we point with pride to the con- trast between the poor partisan press and the prosperous independent press. Sror Tamr.—One hundred thousand dollars reward will be paid for the apprehension of @ noted night thief and burglar known as Jeff. Davis, for stealing from three to five millions from the Richmond banks. Apply to Andy Johnson, Chief of Police to Uncle Sam. Evento Excuanars.—We have discontinued the publication of the quotations at the even- ing exchanges. In our opinion many of these quotations have been untrue, and were gross impositions upon the public. As soon a8 we found this out we stopped them. After toiling, sweating, swearing and praying in Wall street from ten to four the speculators and stock gamblers ought to go home, attend to their wives and children, pass a quiet evening at the opera or the theatres, correct their morals and go to bed early, instead of crazing themselves by financial and other dissipations at midnight. Let the evening exchanges be discontinued. We refuse to countenance them. One Cent Rewarp will be paid for the apprehension and confinement in the nearest jail, of Jake Thompson, George Sanders and their accomplices, now supposed to be some- where on the other side of the Canadian hordes. NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 1866. Recoyxsravorioy or rv Soura.—With Andy Johnson is the presidential chair, the work of reconstruction will be very simple, and we doubt not very speedy. The South is com- pletely subdued. It has no longer any strength or vitality, and as for any anxiety about the bad feeling which may exist in the Southern States, or any fears concerning the operations of guerillas, they are not worth considering; for they will all melt away before six months, and be heard ofno more. We have seen many & time just as much excitement and bitter feel- ing before presidential elections; just as much abuse, harsh language, quarrelling and bad blood between political parties as exists now between the North and South; but when the contest was over every one submitted to the re- sult, whatever it might have been, and the country moved on, in peace and harmony, 08 before. It will be the same now in reconstructing the Union. The conflict is ended. The South has nothing to fight for, and everything to gain by a speedy settlement of the difficulty. Added to this we have the sound judgment and firm will of Andrew Johnson, in winding up affairs favorably to the country. There is, therefore, no necessity for solicitude as to the reconstruc- tion of the South. It is a very easy matter, and will be all settled in a few months. Tue Canapians Comine To THER SENSES—A True Bur.—Recent events are bringing the Canadians to thelr senses, A grand jury of Toronto has issued an indictment against those notorious rebel emissaries and con- spirators Jacob Thompson, of Mississippi (President Buchanan’s thieving traitor Secre- tary of the Interior); C. C. Clay (not long ago a blatherskiting Southern rights United States Senator from Alabama); Wm. Lawrence Mc- Donald, and that famous rebel confederate highwayman, Bennett Young, for violation of her Britannic Majesty’s neutrality laws. Now this looks like going to business in an honest way, and it is to be hoped that the Canadians will follow up this movement to some satisfac- tory practical results. How they happened to omit from this indictment that fussy and con- sequential rebel Jeremy Diddler known as George Sanders, we cannot tell; but it was probably because he was regarded as a com- mon loafer, not sufficiently important to be classed with such rebel nabobs as Thompson and Clay. We think, however, that his case should not be neglected. It should, indeed, loafing charlatan as Sanders has become, be the firston the docket, in view of his indus- trious, impudent and persistent efforts to foment in Canada a rupture between England and the United States. Cavuncues anp THE Repetiion—Among the first signs of the approach of our civil war were the divisions between the Northern and Southern sections of the Protestant churches. The Roman Catholic church has had no divis- ions. Now the Protestant churches in the two sections ought to reunite and aid by their Christian sympathies in effecting the national reunion. \ A Rewarp ror THE Carros or Jerr. Davis.— Why don’t the government offer a reward for the capture of the rebel chief, and have him chased out of the swamps and hunted down like Booth? One hundred thousand dollars would tempt his own'soldiers to deliver him up. Let him be treated like the fugitive felon he has become, Trape Wir Tue Sovrs.—The restrictions being gradually removed, trade between the North and South will soon be resumed. There must be about two million bales of cotton, worth at least two hundred millions of dollars, in the rebel States. That will be brought North be- fore long, and our trade, commerce and manu- factures will be revivified. Charles Kean at the Broadway Theatre. Mr. ond Mrs, Charles Kean made their second appear- ance Jast night at this theatre, before an audience not much larger than that which grected them on their début, \ast Wednesday evening, but im all respects as fashionable, elegant and appreciative. We were glad to observe @ marked improvement in the efficiency of the orchestral arrangements, as well as in the selections played between the acts. The piece produced last night is generally admitted to be the greatest triumph of the dramatic genius of this distinguished actor—that is, in- deed, if any one of his complete impersonations can be said to be greater than another, where all are equally good. It isthe historical French play entitled Louis X1, expressly translated for Mr Kean, and gives a falr reflection of the merciless character of the suspl- ciovs and revengeful old man who tyranized over the French at that period of their history: It is useless to say that the delineation of the character of the King was perfect in the hands of the artist, With that force and power which are oxsentially his own, ho infused spirit into the part which none but the very highest order of histrionic cultivation could command. ‘The tenacity with which the feeble monarch clung to life; the ebullitions of his unforgiving mature, and the terrors which tormented him when his physician occa- sionally threatened him with death, were most forcibl, and vividly depicted. The closing scene, which en with the King’s death, is beyond all praise. In this play Mrs. Kean has little or nothing to do, ap- pearing only for a short time as Marthe, the wife of a pea- fant. The gentlemen and ladies who fo well sustained M1 Kean are, however, deserving of mention. As the Kin, Physician, Mr. G. Jamison was very effective, just as ‘was in the part of the King, in Henry the Eighth, on the previous evening. Miss Chapman, a young English actrees, from Drury kane and the Princess theatres, Lon- don, was very favorably received, and acquitted herself very satisfactorily. The Duke of Nemours (Mr. J. F. Cathcart), also a young English actor, evinced s good deal of talent in the part assigned him. We have only space to mention Miss Alice Placide, who, as Marie, the betrothed of Nemours, made a very favorable impression on the andience. At the close of the second act Mr. Kean was loudly called for, and responded by coming before the curtain and bowing his thanks to his numerous friends. This evening he will appear, for the third night of the season, in Shakspere’s great tragedy of the Merchant of Venice. Let all who would see the character of Shylock per- trayed by the last of the great living English actors attend by all means. AnnvaL or SiGron Mozio axp GorrecnaLK av San Francrsco,—The friends of Signor Muzio and his wife (late Miss Lucy Simons) and of L. M. Gottschalk will be glad to learn that they have arrived eafely at San Fran- cisco, a8 a despatch from Signor Muzio, dated yesterday, from that city, informs us RemncnseMent or Persons Founmne Scperircres — ‘Under the provisions of the General Bounty law, passed by the present Legislature, principals who furnished substitutes credited under the last call for troops are re- tmbursed by the State in the amounts paid by them to such substitutes, not to exceed the bounties allowed by that law, Such reimbursement will soon be made by the Paymaster General of the State, and without cost to the partics making claima.

Burvato, N. ¥., April 26, 1868. ‘The following gentlemen accompanied the remaing Of the late President through the State of New York, by n- vitation of Gov. Fenton:—Judges Davies and Porter, of the Court of Appeals; Hon. Chauncey M. Depew, Secretary of State; General Alex. W. Harvey and George S. Batoh- oller, E. Merritt and S, E. Marvin, staff officers; Colonel L. L. Doty, of the Military Bureau; George Dawson, of the Albany Journal, and William Oassidy, of the Argus and Atlas, Governor Fenton himself could not attend the party, owing to the fact that the Legislature is on the eve of ad- Journment. ‘A delegation from Utica were also on bodrd the train. For a long distanoe after we loft Albany thousands of people were passed at the different stations, quiet observers of the fleeting train—the mon Hifting their hats in view of the hearse car containing the remains of the truly lamented dead. Far beyond the city limits we only see here and thore a national flag with the appropriate mourning badge before some solitary house, the occa- pants being on the door step or piazza, ‘Two small boys are ‘ona bill top, holding in their hands minature draped flags, and stand with heads uncovered. Small groups on a hillside occasionally appear. At the crossroads are men and women in country wagons, A party of thirty young girls with a few male companions are in line on @ level green at the opening of a wood. They all bow their heads in final adieu. ‘The scenery !s beautiful, ani- mated at various points with human beings. Rlags at half-mast continue to be seen along the route, draped with mourning. At Schenectady people were gathered in large numbers in the streets, on car trucks, in railroad coaches, at the windows, on the porches, housetops, in trees—every ele- vated position having an occupant. ‘At Utica the depot buildings were heavily draped and the flags at half-mast. At least twenty-five thousand persons were assembled here. An application had previously been made for the re- mains to be exposed to public view, but a telegram from Major Goneral Dix informed the Hon. Roscoe Conkling that the arrangements made at Washington did not ad- mit of such a deviation. At Syracuse the depot was heavily draped with Ameri- can flags on each side throughout the entire length. Each fing was trimmed with black, and decorated the sides of the building. Evergreen trees were placed at intervals of about ten feet along both sides of the depot. Inad- dition to the ordinary gas lights, four large locomotive lamps illuminated the interior, and four others illu- minated the track, east and west. Tho hotels in the vicinity of the depot, and nearly all the private resi- dences along tho street through which the railway ex- tended, ware appropriately draped and illuminated. The bells of tho city tolled and minute guns were fired, while the funeral train was within the limits of the city. ‘A band of music played a dirge as the train entered the depot, and a choir of one hundred voices sang appropriate hymns during the stoppage of the train. The crowd of citizens was immense, and large delega- tions came in from Oswego and the surrounding towns. As the train entered Rochester minute guns were fired and the bells tolled. On the north side of the allroad station were drawn up in line the Fifty-fourth National Guard State troops, first company of Veteran Reserves and hospital soldiers and a battery attached to the Twenty-fifth brigade, and the first company of Union Blues, The Independent and Newman's regimental band played « funeral dirge. On the south side were the Mayor with twenty-five members of the Common Council of Rochester, together with General John Williams and staff, Major Lee com- manding the post, with his corps of assistants and Gene- ral Martindale and staff, Large masses of people appeared on the road. The party was increased at Rochester by the addition of ex- Président Fillmore and Messrs. J. A. Verplank, J. Gellas- ten, Jas. Sheldon, 8. 8. Jewott, Henry Martin, Philip Dorsheimer, J. P. Stovens, 8. 8. Brosser, John Wilkinson, Henry Morrison, N. K. Hopkinson, on behalf of the Mayor of Buffalo, who was prevented from personally boing present to tender the hospitalities of the city to the party accompanying the remains of the late President. The traifi reached Buffalo at seven A. M. Not the slightest accident has happened on the way from Wash- ington, owing to the admirable arrangements and the faithful and experienced officers in charge of the train. We were met at the depot by a large concourse of people, the men with uncovered heads. The procession was formed between seven and eight o’clock, and proceeded towards St. James’ Hall, under » civil and military escort, in company with the party which had followed the remains from Washington. The hearse was heavily covered with black cloth, sur- mounted with an arched roof and tastefully trimmed with white satin and silver lace, An extensive display of the military and civilians was omitted in view of the fact that Buffalo had a ral procession on the day the obsequies took place at Wash- ington, = * e procession reached the Young Men’s Association building at twenty-five minutes to ten A. M. ‘The body was taken from the funeral car, and carried by soldiers up into St. James Hall, and deposited on the dais, in the presence of the accompanying officers, the guards of honor, and the Union Continentals, com- manded by N. K. Hall. The remains were placed under a crape canopy, ex- tending from the ceiling to the floor. The space was lit by a large chandelior. In the gallery, outside the can- opy, was the Buffalo St. Cecilia Society, an amateur American music association, who, as the remains were brought in, sang with deep pathos the dirge, “‘Rest spirit, rest,’ affecting every heart and moving many to tears. The society then placed an elegantly formed harp, made ef choice white flowers, at the head of the coffin, as a tribute from them to the honorea dead. Shortly after this the public were ad- mitted. Bx-President Fillmore was among the civilians escorting the remains to St. James Hall. Also Company D, Seventy-fourth regiment, Captain J. C. Bowles, This company acted as an escort to President Lincoln four years ago, from and to the depot, on his way to ‘Washington. They will escort his remains from Buffalo to Cleveland. ‘The Rev. Dr. Gurley, who officiated at the funeral in Washington, accompanies the funeral party to this city. AS erroneous statements have been made in the press, it is necessary to say on the authority of the embalmer and the undertaker that no perceptible change has taken place in the body of the late President since it left Wash- ington. The Washington physicians romoved a part of the brain only for the autopsy, bat this was replaced, 60 that no part of the Body whatever is now deficient. The remains were weited through the day—from half. past nine this morning unti] eight this evening—by an immense number of persons. Tho arrangements gene- rally are pronounced to be vetter than elsewhere on the route. Great credit is therefore due to the committee who perfected them. ‘The hospitalitiee were everywhere liberally extended, both by the corporate authorities and individual citizens. During the morning there was placed at the foot of the coffin an anchor of white camelias, from the ladies of the Unitarian church of Buffalo, A cross of white flowers ‘was also laid upon the coffin. At the request of Major General Dix and others, the officers of the St. Cecilia so- ciety this afternoon repeated the dirge, which was sung with, if possible, more solemn and touching effect than in the morning. The procession, with the remains, left St. James Hall ‘at about forty-five minutes past eight, escorted to the depot by the military, followed by a large crowd, The depot was surrounded by persons anxious to get a last view of the coffin.

THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF DESIGN Opening of the New Building om Fourth Avenue, &, kon, &a. ‘The inauguration ceremonies of the National Academy of Besign took place last evening, on which occasion the pictures on exhibition were submitted to a private view. ‘The basis of the fund from which this structure waa erected was raised by subscription among the artists tm addition to the fund of the old Academy of Design, to which were afterwards added many liberal subscrip- tions from several citizens, The cost of the building will be about one bundred and seventy-five thoussmd dollars, when all that is contomplated for its completion is accemplished. While the building was in progress, and partially com- cealed by scaffolding and enelogure, it had a strange oule® appearance that created some surprise, and no little astonishment that a structure designed for the purposes of art should prosent so little of what seemed to be artistic taste. People supposed that because it waa designed by artists it must be something exceedingly beautiful, that is according to the popular idea of beauty im architecture—an idea, of course, mainly formed by comparison with other handsome structures. But the artists formed a different notion. They designed to esect 8 building bisawe and strange looking, which would be remarkable more for its novelty in our city architeo- ture than for its beauty of style and effect, and it must be admitted by all who see it mow in ita finished state, that they have succeeded. The ob Ject appears to‘have been to construct an edifice that ‘could not be mistaken for a bank, ora church, or a blookt of lawyer’s offices. It was expected that every one who saw it would ask what it was, and ufon being informed that it was tho National Academy of Design, they would never forget the structure or its location. That the ex- pectations of the designers have been carried out im this respect there can be no doubt; although, as a work of puro art, it is not to be admired, neither doos it strike ws as being a style appropriate to its purposes, ‘The site upon which this edifice is erected was pam chased from Mr. William Niblo, at a cost of fifty thoussm@ dollars, in the auturon of 1860, and after numerous de signs had been submitted to the Academy for their adop- tion, by various architects, the plan of Mr. P, B. Wright was finally adopted, and, under his supervision, the work has been executed. Tho building ocea- pies the whole of a lot situated at the north- west corner of Fourth avenue and Twenty-third street, eighty feet wide on the street and ninety-cight feet nine inches long on the avenue. It is three stories high, besides the cellar. The lower or basement story contains—first, the janitor’s apartments, the floor a which is raised one step above the sidewalk. occupying the whore end on Twenty-third street; second, the rooma of the School of Design, the floor of which is four feet lower than that of the janitor’s rooms, thus giving @ ceiling sixteen feet high, and which occupies three fourths of the whole basement story. The accommoda- tious for the school are ample. It occupics three alcoves on Fourth avenue, lighted by large ‘windows, the whole covering a 8} of forty-seven by sixty-eight feet. This is the Ancient Statuary. ie collection of statues and buste is very large. Among them we a Laveoon, Apollo Belvidere, Venus de Medici, Silenus apd Bacchus, the Boxers of Canova, the Wrestlers, Piping Fawn, Houdin’s Anatomical Figure, and many others ag familiar as they are valuable to art students.
