Powells Creat Historical Painting for the National Capitol. Mr. W. #1. Powell, tho eminent artist, has nearly completed for the Senate wing of the Capitol at Washington a pictare of the ‘Battle of Lake Brie,” which we may designate as great on account both of its unusual size (being thirty feet long by twenty feet high) and of its extraordinary merita as a composi- tion. This is, we believe, the largest canvas ever brought to this country in one piece, and it was woven in Holland expressly for the artist, ‘The period of the action chosen is that so vividly described by Commodore Mackenzie in his iffe of Perry, and also by Bancroft and Cooper. Deserted by the Niagara, which was to have encountered the second of the enemy’s ships, and sustained only by the Caledonia, the Ariel and the Soorpion, he has resisted for more than two hours the whole of the British squadron. Findjng at 1ength his vessel cut to pieces, his guns dismounted, his means of resistance destroyed and nearly the whole of his brave crew lying dead or wounded around him, instead of yielding the day, after having done everything that depended on him to win it, with the inspiration of genius he resorted promptly to the only means that remained to him still to secure a victory. ‘He saw," says Bancroft, “with the swiftness of intuition the new method that must be chosen, now that the first had failed, and as he had already resolved to transfer his flag, with the certainty that, in the crippled state of the British, victory must percn on his banner, he immediatsly entered his- boat with his commander’s pennant and his little brother, and bade the six sailora whom he took as oarsmen to row with ali speed for the Niagara. ‘The mastery of the lakes, the recovery of Dewroit and the far West, the capture of the British army in the peninsula of Upper Canada were the immediate fruits of his success.” In this grand painting Perry is portrayed in his boat leav- ing his disabled ship, the Lawrence, the Stars and Strips floating at the pow and the hero bimsolf standing in the centre. The balls are fying about him in every direction and one has struck the oar from the hands of the negro Hannibal, whose alarm 1s characteristically depicted. Glinging to the Com- medore, his young brother, the child Alexander, is beseeching him to be seated; they are under fire and the boy fears for the safety of his heroio commander. The coxawain steering the boat points also to a seat. Like the child, he fears that his oMcer 1s too much exposed, The boat’s crew, straining at their oara, are genuine nautical types; their action is admira- ble, their cosuumes and expression true to their employment and to the scene and sensation of the moment; every face 1s unmistakably a seaman’s; indeed, the painter obtained his models from the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and in every detail of rig, uniform, attitude, emblem, &c., be has avalled himseif of the most au- thentic materials. Tue boat and its human freight are oi course the principal oojects of the picture. To the right 1s the Niagara making a tack Co pick up the boat and to assuine @ position to reoommeuce the action, while in the distance are seea through tue smoke the Queen Charlotte, the Lady Provost, the Detroit and other vessels. By this arrangement the artist has grasped both the individual and general action of the moment, and has proved his perfect power to grapple with the subjeci fa ita breadih and in its detais. We were struck on the first glance at the picture with the seeming abundance of movement. The boat rises with the swelling water and leaps forward in reaponuse to the efforts of the sturdy oarsmen; there 18 motion in the sky and the smoke which is borne back by the breeze, Everything betokens that the ainter has thrown life into his creation. Gradualiy he eye setties down upon the principal objects, for 80 Ss ig the harmony of the whole that the first desire is to take in the entire features of the acene before taking cognizance of individual objects. ‘This 1s @ master point in Mr. Powell's treatment. The group in the boat is #0 natural that it cannot be called artistic, save in the sense that artis never so successiul a3 when it robs nature of her truth and throws it on the canvas, as in the present case.

Sunpay, Dec. 5, 1859. The approaching session of Congress is Likely to have, as it bas herstofors had, a direot and power fulinfuence on the speculative movements of Wall street. A lively market for all tne various classes of investments dealt in at the Stoox Exchange the Gold Room and the Government Board may be looked for as the sequonce of the deliberations which begin to-morrow—the first Monday of Decem- ber, ‘Ihe speculative hosts of Wall street have already marshalled their forces and drawo up their plans. The past week was @ busy one with them, owmg to the arrangement and disposition of the materials which they intend to empioy or operate upon in the ensuing flnancialcampaign. The iine of their main operations will be tn the gold market, and already they have shown somothing of the policy Which they intend to pursue, Let it oe remembered that the recont sudden ana sharp decline in gold was simply a speculative movement, It wili there- fore be easily conceived how @ speculative move- ment the other way 18 the grand programme of Wall gtrees for the immediate future, ‘The persons en- listed im the new movement are the same who recently argued and prophesied an imme- diate reiurn to specio payments. The change of front on the part of the new sd- vocates of higher gold may bo alsgulsed by an ingenious soplusiry, but 1f during the next few weeks the public who have to buy or sell gold in Wail street will remember what was told them a week or two ago by these same persons they will readily discover not only the inconsistency of their oracles, but the purely speculative, gold-iobbing character of the would-ve guides of financial opinion, The very men who bave talked and preached specie payments tor the past month wiil, between now and New Year's, clearly de monstrate the fact that not only is more currency casential to the welfare of the ooun- try, buts that gold is cheap anywhere below 160, The same materials will be empioyed to turn the speculation upward that were used to direct 16 downward. In briof, the great oliques of Wall streets whv were “short” of gold after the cul- mination of the “corner” in September succeeded so far as to force tho price down to 121%, the lowest since the early days of the war; bus Doding thas they were exciting a storm of indignation from the whole business portion of the country that so far invoked the intervention of the Secretary of tne Treasury as to lead him to suspend his gold sales, they immediately reversed their tactics, got upon the otner side of the market and have come out the most enthusiastic “polis” The situation 1s, in fact, the exact counter- part of the speculative movement last September. ‘Then the cliques were checked by the gold sales of the government, Now they have ceased to ‘bear!’ the market through fear of @ suspension of these gold sales. The action of Secretary Boutwell last. ‘Tuesday in declining to acoept the bids at the Sub- Treasury was the pivotal point on which they havo revolved in getting into position for the inaugu:a- tion of the new “buli’? movement in the precious metal, The plan contemplates an exhibition of the really weak situation of the government in its abillty to meet resumption. In the midst of the recent “bear” movement of the cliques when the fact of the hundred and odd millions of gold in the Trea- sury was skilfully employed ag an argumont to prove the power of the government to resume, tt was shown in these columns that the specie in the vaults of the Treasury on the 1st of January next, after paying oustanding certificates accrued interest, &c., would be less than twenty millions, and attention catled to the therefore Utopian character of any Con- gressional scheme for immediate resumption, How far the new movement will succeed depends upon the skill with which it is managed. All the ammuni- tion furnished by @ comparison of the imports and exports, showing the immense excess of the former over the latter, will be actively used to show the necessity for specie payments. With reference to the exact relation of the imports and exports, there always will be doubt uatil a statisti- cal bureau 1s created to compu all the facts con- cerning them. A statement comes occasionally from Washington, but as the imports are very certain to be given quite fully, owing to the constraivt of Cus- tom House inspection, and as the exports are going out haphazard from every city, town and hamlet on the coast between St. Croix and Rio Grande, the excess of the one or the other above the other or the one cannot be definitely known. The figures of the chief ports of the country are not a suiticient index. They show the imports but not the exporis. The scheme has other details, which it is unnecessary to sketch here, but whioh will be unfolded from day to day as the movement proceeds, If Congress could digest and enact some practical plan of puiting an end to the speculation in gold i would be doing infinite good to tne legitimate business interests of the couniry. As might be expected, the changed current of the feeling In the Gold Room spread to the stock and government markets. Gold and stocks do not al- ‘ways move in the same direction. They have done so lately. Both have had an immense decline, The cliques are therefore the better able to start them upward, The September panic has put the smaller operators and those of the public who comprehend the mystery of selling “short” on the bear side of the.stock market. In the government market the upward turn during the week has been quite sharp. The mcney market has been somewhat irregular, and high rates were exacted just before the move- ment was begun, in order that the cliques might “squeeze” holders out of their stocks, but at the close of the weck money was easy at six to seven per cent, according to the nature of the collateral. Tho weekly statement of the associated banks submitted on Saturday took tne street completely by surprise, owing to the unfavorable feature com- prised in a loss of over two millions of legal tenders, The decrease in this item was all the more unex- pectou as the operations of the Treasury in the matter of gold saics and bond purchases have been in favor of the banks, while the shipments of ourrency to the West were thought to have been on a diminished scale. ThManks started from the previous week with a@ less favorable state of affaira than was really exhibited in their statement then This fact and @ larger shipment of cur- rency than was suspected must sufice to explain the large decrease. On the other hand, the item of specie has been increased @ million of dollars, so that the loss in reserve is only about a intilion and a quarter. Moreover, as the deposits and circulation have fallen off to the extent of another million, the Gecrease of the surplus held by the vanks is a trifle over 4 million, ‘The totals of the jast two statements 2,078,474 Spe . + 29,687,896 Circulation. + 84,155,858 Deposits.... «+ + 183,597,395 Legal tenders. » 48,181,820 45,989,274 ‘The changes in each item are set forsh m detail as followa:— Increase tn loans $557,522 Tncrease in spect 945, Decroase in circulation...

Thrilling Narrative of the Voyage and Loss of the Bark Ocean Wave, of Ohicago—Other Wrecks. {From the Chicago Tribune, Dec. 3.) ‘The story of the voyage and shipwreck o1 the bark Ocean Wave, Capiain Henry Faith, watch lett tats port on the 1¢ta of November, bound tor Ogdens- burg, New York, will give the reader soine idea of tie hardships borne by those who go down to the Sea iu ships and do busiuess in great waters. The bark Wasa goodly vessel, stout and stanch, with a carrying Capacity of 230 tons and a crew of eight, ail wold, Ste was built in 1354 and rebuilt and re- modeled in 1856, since Which she has ploughed the rough waters of the lakes in a hundred voyages, and has weathered @ thousand gaies. Bul she was mor- tal, uke ail earthly things, wad she gave up the ghost the other day, her tumbers groaning in agony, and tue wind and Waves LOW1Ng & dismal dirge over the catastrophe, Un tue 10th of last month she sailed proudly past the lightaouse in the hands of a true sailor com- manding @ gailant crew. Sne was laden with corn. ‘tue wind Was faic and the sea easy during the day, but with tne night came down the storm and the snow. The wiud rose and the waves ran high. Nothing could ve seen through the thick and opaque snow. hey koew tuey were ou the lake, buc had no means, except by dead reckoning, to locate tieir Whereavouts, ‘I'he storm increasing and the wind growing stronger every hour, from tie northeust, tue ship's bead was put towards Milwaukee, and vy good luck and the help of Providenve they made toat haroor during the day. Aoout a dozen ves- sels pe found shelter there pelore the Ocean Wave arrived. Un we 18th the storm abated and the bark was @gain bounding over the waves towards her doom, She ran down the jake to Twin Kiver Puint, wiere ste anchored, in company with fourteen ves- sola, The suow compelled this sioppage. Twenty- jour hours more aad the storm abated again, and again did tae bold vessel face the raging water. She started with @ light wind from tne south- West, wiih @ iiitle snow, aud a rouga, but not dan- gerous sea. For two days she salied througn this Storm, and at daylight on the 16th doubled the light- sup at the ‘foot’ of the Straits, near Point Waboie- shuok, At tus time there were thirty vessels in sigut, There were premonitions of a ard biow, the barometer fell aud the sky looked ugly ali over. In the morning there was a ligut wind from the east, with @ 1iitie southerly and easterly init, At seven o’clock tae same morning they ran tuto Chedoygan bay, an iniet ip Mackinaw straits. The big auchor was let go with fifty-six fathoms of chain. ‘he wind guthered in strength until twelve o’ciock, when it blew a gale with snow from the east-northoast, It was fiercely cold; the men could hardly stay on deck, Down went the head of the vessel into every trough of the sea, and over her decks from stern to steru caine each huge wave. Everything loose was swept overboard. ‘Ihe water froze on the decks unt the boards were as smooth and slippery a3 giass. But this can best be described in the terse words of the captain:—“It was the biggest gale of wind I ever saw biow; i never saw the like veiore, and no man ever did on the lake, The seas matte & ciean breach over the decks. Tiere was no Walking about it, but sliding right along.” Night came on, adding darkness to the scone, aking wind and wave seem more hideous, Louder and stronger biew the wind. Each mountain wave atruck the sbip’s side, reverberating like thunder, and then mouuting the deck fell in vast volume upon it. ‘Ta strain on the capie was great. ‘There was dan- ger Of ita sna pping and sending them all to destruc- tion, ‘There was alee shore little more than a mutle and a half off. second anchor was let go, and sixty fathoms of chain was paid out on both, Notan eye was closed on bourd tue vessel that night, hen death siares men in the face they do not sleep. Every man was hanging on to some- thing. Midnight came and it was as dark ag Ere- bus, The anchors began to drag. That was not pleasant when the vessel was drifting toward a lee shore on which the waves beat and broke in their rage. The morning broke ard found the vessel within about two lengths of the beach, which was strewn with wrecks. The following named vessels went ashore during the night:— ‘Tne schooner Kate Kelley, Captain Robert Hayes, bound to Ugsdensburg, with a cargo of wheat, from Miiwankee; the bark Onconta, Captain Smith, with wheat, from Chicago to Buifalo; the schooner Ply- mouth’ Rock, Captain Lewis, with wheat, from Ch cago to Buitalo; the schooner bohemia, with wheat, which Was transferred to the schooner Canter to take to Buffalo, and the Columbia, Capiain Thomas, with coal, The last mentioned was towed off by the tug U. S. Grant ‘The others were considerabiy damaged, but were taken to Oheboygan by tugs. ‘This was the end of the first gale. On the 1sth the wind was light from the south- West, and the Ocean Wave left Cheboygan with several vessels in company, aud proceeded on her course, She spoke the William |, Ogden on her way back to Cheboygan 1m anticipation of the coming gale, The barometer fell during the day lower tuan it had been in the previous gale, Captain Fauh furled the squaresaiis, doupie reefea the topsall, single reefed the mansail, and made everything taut and trim. ‘The schooner Lotus was passed on her way to Saginaw. The Ocean Wave put about and made for the Straits of Mackinaw. The wind blew furlously and the snow aud sieet prevented anything from being seen. She ran west by north for two hours, and at eleven o'clock tho course Was changed to west-northwest. At half-past eleven tho men were sent aloit in the frozen rigging to furl the squaresati, wich was blowing out of the boitro; and had just reached the deck when the second mate yelled that 9 vessel was running under the quarter. ‘The captain jumped to the quarter and remarked:—‘‘Tiat vessel 18 ashore. down with the heim.’? The heli was put down, but there was not room ty lua, so the stern struck, and the vessel went on the rocks sideways. She struck one second and the next was fail of water. The capftatn said, ‘The sea burst the hatches and swept everything off tho decks.” The crow took to tho boat, but never expecied to reach tho shore, which was an eignth of @ mill ‘They were ratsea upon three or four waves ‘nd dashed upon the beach. The captatn said he did not Know how they got there, Captain Purdy, ot the schooner ©. 8, King, Who Was cast away three days betore, stood on the peach with his crew, holding lines ready to rescue the crew of the Ocean Wave, They found that the place they ve snore was Hammond Bay.
