ng before the appointed hour of eleven o-viock morning Apollo Hall was crowded with les anxious to hear the verdict of Mra, Elizabeth Cady Stanton on the merits and demerits of the ‘MoFarland case.

I¢1s gratifying to find that our labors in the cause of music have not been entirely truitless, and that the publishers evince a praiseworthy spirit in adopt- ing @ higher standard of merit in their publications, They have turied thelr attention particularly to the republication of the works of the great masters in handsome editions. The scum of London concer’ saloons is no longer to be found on their shelves, and a healthier tone has been communicated to the divine art, generally speaking. Opposition has bee: brought into the fleld and even the old monopolists dave abated much of their pretensions, and now there seems to be a sincere desire with all to falfi the high duties they owe the public, art and themselves. We have long and persistently striven to attain this desirable end, and have, from the commencement of this review, set ourselves against trash of all kinds and any mo- nopoly calculated to obstruct the progress of music im America. Publishers naturally fait taken aback to find a journal, for the first time, using surgic iu criticism of the most uncompromising kind in their business, and laying bare the arcana of their profes- ston, which, before, they so religiously guarded. Rage, threats, promises and schemes were tried 1a vain to scare away the intruder, but they were obliged to surrender at discretion to the verdict of the public ana to pay some lite regard to the ele- vated nature of their profession. ‘Those who heid out and refused to acknowledge the new régime of taste and art son founa themselves rapidly “taking a back seal’ in music publish- ing and their customers diminishing to an alarming extent. All lovers of music will be rejoiced at the change which has taken place and the revolution which has been carried to a triumph- ant termination. If we can only succecd now in persuading these publishers to refrain from cheating unfortunate composers, or at least to grant them some Jittle justice, oar work will be complete. There ig small encouragement to native composers when all the proceeds of thelr iabors go into the pockets of music publishers. The new houses which have come into the tleld have done much towards oblite- rating this shame, this disarace from the profession. Let their elder brethren take @ bint in time.

Dr. BELL, on vehalf of the Commissioners, said the Health Oficerjwas mistaken, as t.iey have three men, instead of one, engaged upon her, and hope to have ner done and at her station in a short time. Dr. VARNOCHAN told the Commuesioners he would \'ke tov have them do something in regard to the boathouse at the station, as in tis present condition it affords netther protection for theiboats nor the Db atmen.

There is no longer any necessity for the “pings,” “roughs” and “sports” of New York and Brooklyu journeying all the way to that Mecca of the brulsers, New Orleans, for the purpose of mashing each other, for they cen now indulge in that amusement to any extent upon any of the Fuiton ferry boats, with -none to molest or make them afraid. Afcor the dis gracefal affair that transpired on one of the boats of this company on Monday night it may well be asked, as is frequently done now, how long will it be before each of these boats carry @ full supply of sawdust, ropes fora ring, sponges, &c., for the accommoda- tion of any “pugilistically inclined bummers” who may choose to cross on them ? Night pefore last, at a quarter past twelve o'clock, just as the ferryboat Mineola was leaving the slip on to cross over to Brooklyn, Mr. John Gelestine, a detective employed by the ferry company for the purpose of looking after pick- pockets and keeping beggars and street musicians off the boat, saw a big, square-headed bully sitting in the ladies’ cabin complacently smoking away on anold pipe, which was so strong that one could smell it irom one end of the boat to Gelestine went up to the man of “fearful proportions’ who ‘had the pipe and requested him togo outon deck. Some words en- sued, followed by blows. The ‘bully,’ however, ‘who was nearly three timos ed large a8 Gelegtine, soon let the cabin, clorely followed by the latter, and as scon as they reached the deck bo'h began eparing' for a quiet little “set-to.” By this time the pacsengers, some 160 or 200 in number, had gath- ered around the pelligerents, and soon cries of “Give eer room!” “Go in, ttle one!” “Punch him, old boy!’ “Put a head on him, Jobnny |”? “Mash him, little one!” &c., were heard on all sides, 4 Alt this time the “bully” was pulling off his coat, tucking in his shirt, hitching up his pants, sailor fashion, and exclaiming, ‘Ah. ye litte lubber, I'll lick ve’s in no time at all!” while Gelestine, who is @ rather small man, began to loox ‘white about the ae and gpted very much a8 though ne wanted to fo ome. there was no “back out” then, for the crowd were bound to seea fight, which, how- ever, they did not have to wait long for. ‘The ball opened by the ‘*bully’s” jumping upon Ge'estine and punching his head righ: and left in a manner to ex- clte even the envy of Mace. The shouts of the crowd were now almost deafening, as each party cheered on his favorite, and for afew moments a free fight was imminent. The two having tna one anotrer until thoy ‘were tired concluded to stop long enongh to catch their wind, when the crowd bogan to speculate as to which one would finally wm. The big lubber had had the best of it all along, but some seemed to think the “i1ttle one” would finally “lick” him, as he was more scientific. The hitting, however, was all in favor of the “big bully” and ten to five was offered, but found no takers. ‘The two having ‘+breathea’’ long enough, some one called ont “time,” when they went at it again “red hot.’? Things now bogan to look bine, and for a short time it seemed all hanas would have a finger in it, for the crowa rushed in upon the two belige- rents and began to kick, first one and then the other, din a way that made it ifvely for both of them. Some one yelled out “Don't you kick that little fellow;” and another shouted “Any man what hits that big chap’s got to hit.me;” mingled with cries of “Throw up the sponge hittle one, he’s too big for you;” “The little chap can lick him if he has half a snow; &c., rent the midnight air. ‘The boat having arrived at the Brooklyn side; and both les Detng thoroughly exhrusted, the “mull” closed simultaneously with both of Gelestine’s eyes. After the fight the two looked very much as did Mace and Allen after their exchange of civilities in New Orleans, one with his faco mashed up and the other comparatively unhurt.

The miserable, smirking figure in 367—“Suntay Out”—has the negative merit of involving no one but the artist himself ; the dreadful libel, however, on the unfortu- nate Mr, Tennyson’s popular poem 1s far more pre- tentious, We are told with an effrontery which is somewhat excused by the manifest ignoranc3, that the pink dressed, pink cheeked chil™, lean- ing on the family Bible, is the May Queen; and, in elucidation of that statement, are furnished with two. verses from the “New Year’a Eve,” containing the dying words of the child, who, it will be admitied, must have been at that time in a very different condition from that represented on the canvas. Even the beauty of Mr. Tennyson’s verses, which the artist has so dis- ingenuously misconstrued, 1s insuMicient to palliate a natural feeling of contempt for the whole work, 359—THE VILLAGE ROAD. ‘This painting represents a manufacturing town, Judging by the length of the chimneys, in flames in the distance, In the foreground, bordered by a brilliant but somewhat - confuse! suggestion of autumn foliage, ts @ road, down which is scamper- ing @ flock of yellow, sun-stricken sheep, terrified apparently by their keeper, whom they very natu- rally have mistaken for a scarecrow. There s20ms to have been a most lavish expenditure of means— enough, indeed, to have supplied even tolerably poor painters with some half dozen subjects—aond no smal effort, which makes one wonder at the result, which could not easily have been worse, i 853—SOLITUDEB—ARTHUR PARTON. | Even apart from several meritorious points in this picture, the artist has sncocesded in something which, especially with this class of subjects, is not often accomplished—a thorough rendition, Through- out the whole work 13 dominant the idea which bas farnished the subject of the picture. With the atd of a catalogue it is sometimes not impossinle to recognize some abstract idea an artist has under- taken to render; but here, even without that aid, there is unmistakably a pervading sense of deser- tion, lonoliness, solitude, The picture might bave been called anything else, There would still be prominent that idea. The distance seems to speak of warmth, companionship and brighter things, The very ray of sunlight which falis athwart the fore- ground forms. strong contrast to the surrounding sense of desolation, Here, on this little pool, embosomed amid deep-shaded trees, with the water lilies resting on its placid surface, there reigns an air of utter quiet and solitude, The only living being one secs is a bird winging its way westward. <A boat has drifted in among the low brush and bushes aud lies tenant- less—deserted.

The composition of this picture is not vad, but the rocks and water are wonderfully free from anything like force or quality, which would se2m to be not sored unimportant elements in such compo- sittons. 372—VENICE—J. M’ENTRE, N. A. This picture was noticed be/ore it let the studio, but it seems to improve somewhat by acquaintanc> and by comparison with several others from kindred subjects. 374—THE AFTER GLOW—F. E, CHURCH, N, A. Unquestionably this is one of the great pictures of the exhibition, both in subject and for masterly treatment, ‘There must be an immense variety of opinion about it, a3 there always 1s about every work which departs so far from the time-honored and beaten tracks in art, but no one can deny that the picture in i:self is a great one. Mr. Church’s name alone would be, and doubtless is, to many, a sutticient guaraniee for the excellence of his works, quite independent ‘of any intrinsic merit of thelr own; but he must be far wo great an artist to take advan- tage of taat or to fear the judgment to which his fp i may be exposed. In on2 or two of his later works there has been evident a desire to rise above the beautful detall and epic poetry for which he bas become so prominent au American painters, aud reach @ still higher standard of thought and feeliginart. It would be jast to overlook this. We have as yet no leading artist who has attempted it. Tintoretto and Glorgone, among the Italians, and Direr and Kaulbach, among the Germans, although very different in their spheres aud characteristics, stand forth promineat among thoge who have striven to elevate thsir art, in the interpretation of higher thoughts and nol: fanctes, to the région where the intellectual demi- nates, aided by, instead of cont cting with, feoling and sentiment. The present picture appeals more to the undvrstaiding ani judgment than to the heart. What there is in itof poetry or fecling 16 rather accessory than dominant. ‘Me has aimed at the comprenension and rendeting of an effect which no novice in art would have dared to attempt, Tiis pecu.lar effzct, which he cais ‘After Glow,’’ is one which requires no ordinary study and power to render, The gun basset, A wall of dirk ciouds, borde.ed with translucent red and gold, stretches along the horizon; through its substan.e of unequal density stream the broad columns of iigit, throwa into greater relief by the intervening shadows, no spiky rays from a burning sun. Far up toward the mid-heavens float the tremulous waves of golden light, throbbing and glowing from the departed orb—ever growing fainter and fainter tiil they melt away mn the soft, warm grays of approach- ing twilight. It is to no mein knowledge and appreciation that the grandeur of such a scene appeals, It requires a painter of no ordinar; ability to undertake the representation of it. In the middie distance the cold, chill mists of evening are rising from tae valleys beneath in strong couirast the glowing light above and beyond.

This picture combines many of his most charming characteristics, and ts a most favorable representative of his style and subjects. His “Autumn” is less satisfactory.
