If the accounts of recent operations in the East, as Teceived here from Spanish sources and published in the government journals, are correct, the insurrec- tion in this island has received its death biow and peace will soon be restored. But very few, how- ever, give them the slightest credit, and the question “What news from Valmaseda?” is asked with as much eagerness as ever. As the news appears in the local journals it ts much like chaos, “without form and void,” consist- ing mostly of bold statements, with a singular ab- sence of dates and places, which gives rise to the supposition that they are intended to aid General Dulce in his conciliatory policy. from Bayamo. ‘It would be a pleasure to be able to advise you of ‘We promise of a brighter future, buts regard for ‘the truth will not permit 1t.

Tus charming collection comprises 252 works, It ofers Several fine specimens of the excellence to which Skinuer Prout, John Gilbert, Paul Mai Cattermole and other foreigu artists ly the art of painting in water colvrs. Ni much to add that (claiming Mrs. EI th Murray as an American by virtne of her ro: e in New York) several of our American painters m water colors already fairly stand comparison with their transatlantic rivals. ‘the prinier's delay in provid- ing catalogues of this very interesting and eacour- aging exhibition will prevent us irom giving at tion of the water colors which the Corridor and the Bast Room are excla- sively devoted. We shall brieily meution ouly those which cniedy strike the attention at a hasty giance. The gem of the collection unquestionably is ‘vie Alte Briicke” (The Old Bridge), by Skinuer Prout. Heprenenting @ German town by blended twilight nd moonlight, it 13 Lull of powerfa! ezfects. It re- minds one of Gustave Doré's best work. With its demi-tints and its strong and broad treatment it is altogether an imposing picture. ‘Cavalera Drink- lag,” by Cattermoie; ‘ibe Picture Gatiery of an Old English Mansion Decorated for Curistmas,” by John Gilbert; “Spanish Peasants,” by F. W. Topham; “A French Town,” by Paul Marny, and “Mer de Glacs,’’ by John Ruskin, are among the more interesting works of European artists on exhibition. Samuel Colaan, president of the American Society of Painters in Water Colors, 13 worthily represented by “La Giralda,” a Spanish street scene, fuil of life and resplendent with stroug aud harmonious color, and by “A View on the Hudson at Irvington.” A. F. Bellows, whois now winning Beagcy opin- jons in England, seuds home an exquisite *Aiter- noon in Surrey.” Jniensely brilliant in color, it offers almost the solidity of of!3, But this may be an objection, for the paint>r in water colors shoul: aim at Waosparency ratier than at solidity. It should not be hls purpose to imitate ofl painting. ‘The same objection may perhaps be urged against the largest and most ambitious of the contributions of Mrs. E. Murray to this collection, “A Gypsy Forge.” The subject migkt be deemed more sulla. ble for oils. But here, a3 in her other works, for justance “A Bacchante,” what strength and beau- tifal harmony ofcolor! The drapery is treated in so broad and iiowing & manner that the spectator is tempted to overlook a certain hardness in the lines of the neck and objectionabie stippling of the flesh tintg in the “Bacciante.” The drapery in the Bin lg? ae ia particu’ariy fine. Willlam Hart exiibiis a “scene on the Peabody River,” an autumn landscape; William Craig, a “View In Orange County, New York,” crisp and clear tn color, and “Washington's Headquarters at Newburg;” R. Swain Gidord, several edective ‘Coast Scenes;” J. D. Smillie and George H. Smillie, several us fob aldeats; liter By: rad or the American Society, “A md other studies; K. Van Elten, several good landscapes; Ar- thur Lumiey, @ very “Sketch from Nature,” much better than another more ainbitious work from his pencil; and William Magrati, an elegant en scene, with figares, from Jennyson’s “Gardener's Daughter’’—too elaborate, and with faces that lack expression, but a very fair picture; the composition is good. Charles ©, Ward eonds “The Ground Spar- row’s Nest,”’ a pretty little thing, rich and tender in olor, full of suggestivencss, ‘He also sends “An Old Hunter.” T, W, Wood exhibits one of the most striking pictures in the collection, ‘“ne Wood Chop- per.” utiful, however, as are ita detalis, these are too numerous and too elaborate, They divert attention from the main subject, We must now leave the exhibition with a brief mention of “Black Haimburgs,” a insclous study of grapes, by Mrs. H. ». Gray; ‘The Fail,” autumnal leaves equally brilliant and harmonious tn color, b; W. J. Linton; “A Scene near Kenmare, Ireland,” dreamy and sketchy, a3 water colors mid be, by Wyant; “The Garden of the Tuileries,” deep in tone, bd Felix Zien; “A Scene in Derbyshire,” not only pleasing, but strongly artistic, by D. ih McEwan; “Cavaliers Drinking,” nice in color, reminding one of Calame (but also of chromo-lithographs), by Cat- termole; “Barmouth,” full of happy atmospheric eifects, by S. P. Jackson; and last, bat by no weans least, “Brig, Hove To,” by M. F. fl. De Haas, full of broad eects, equal in vigor and transparency of color and superior in elegance to his celebrated ina- rines tu ols, Tue vessel actually Moats upon the water. Our very favorable firat impressions of the water color exhibition must not Linder us from recom- mending American aspirants to the fame of Gilbert, Prout, Topham and other distinguished European painters in water colora, to emulate their breadth of weatment and, like them, to abstain trom over-elabo- ess, Although excessive detail may seem mer- to uneducated eyes it is really meretri- cious.
