“many of them as ‘laborers.’"™ Any excuse for Jasiness is good enough to those who do not ‘wish to ‘earn a living.” The Winter Westerly Gales of the North Atlantic—An Instructive Phenomenon. The late stormy passages of our trans- steamships, on their trips from Lh to this port, present some very Ynstructive lessons in navigation and re- veal some of the most important atmos- pherio phenomena. The difficult and tedious baffling with fierce northwest and westerly gales and head seas has been the experience of nearly every westward bound vessel crossing the Atlantic this month, This fact has, perhaps, impressed us the more, as it stands in striking contrast with the mild and genial weather that has prevailed ashore. But it is a well known and normal phenomenon, which every sailor and traveller is too familiar with, although there have been seasons when it was abnormally intensified, as in January, 1822, when the weather in Great Britain and France was ‘‘most extraordinarily hot, damp, stormy and oppressive, with westerly and southwesterly gales almost without intermis- sion and the barometer lower than had been known for thirty-five years before.” The prevalence of these furious westerly ‘winds inthe North Atlantic it is highly im- portant for seamen to comprehend, and some of our best meteorologists have made them a special study, According to our old teachings and old maps we have been led to suppose that the trade wind belt occupied the Tropic Zone from one side of the Atlantic to the other, and this has always been the generally accepted theory. In accordance with its requirements, it has been always held that the southwest anti- trade winds (commonly known as ‘the passage winds”),-which blow north of the parallel of forty degrees north latitude and the so- called region of the ‘‘roaring forties,” returned to the Polar regions just the same quantity of air that the opposite current withdrew from’ them. Without attempting a theoretical dis- cussion of this subject, it is enough for our purpose to say that recently revealed facts give us a different system of atmospheric cir- culation. First, we have a broad and grand upper current of equatorial air which sweeps from the West Indies and the Mexican Gulf toward the northeast over the track of the Gulf Stream, and is projected toward England and ‘Norway. To balance this we have an equally grand current of Polar alr streaming over Northeastern America and over the north- western side of the Atlantic. The first, or equatorial, current—a Gulf Stream in the air— which began as an upper current of air, sails with tremendous velocity from the lower to the higher latitude until it touches the ocean between Now York and Liverpool, and there runs obliquely against the northerly Polar air current, producing, as a resultant, the furious westerly and southwesterly gales of which we speak, This is by no means a matter of theory, but of observation as opposed to theory, and we believe it was first pointed out by Captain R. Inglis, Marine Superintendent of the Cunard line of steamers. Drawing a line northeast from the Caribbean Sea, clear of the Florida coast, it cuts the Cunard steamer track between the meridians of forty degrees and fifty degrees west, and this line, it is believed, as" nearly as possible marks the western margin of the great south- west equatorial current. In a remarkable voyage from Havre to New York, in a screw steamer, a few years ago, Captain Inglis put this theory to an experimentum crucis, and whenever he was buffeted by the westerly wind, by putting his ship's head off to the northwest the more wind was found to north- ward and the more the ship’s way increased. By attending to this simple rule he not only demonstrated his own views to be correct, but also beat one of the fastest and most powerful of the Cunard steamships a whole day. He has shown that if a ship is going east she may carry a southwest or westerly wind all the way across the Atlantic. 4 As has been suggested by many meteorolo- gists and seamen, it is of the utmost import- ance to determine by observations where the line of contact at different seasons is to be located. It would be of immense benefit to commerce if we could so definitely fix the boundaries of this great Gulf Stream in the sir and the marginal disturbance it creates when it is impinged upon by the Polar cur- rent from the north that vessels bound from England to America could insure northerly winds by keeping to the north, and, on the return passage, southerly winds by keeping a more southerly course, Only the other day the Algeria was twenty days in making her trip, which for this splen- did and powerful Cunarder is enormously long; other steamers have recently been greatly imperilled and ahattered by attempt- ing to run headlong through these head seas and westerly gales, It is almost certain, as Captain Toynbee, the Marine Superintendent of the English Meteorological Office, and other able seamen have shown, that there is usually no necessity for encountering these winter gales. Itis positively bad and reckless sea- manship to run into them, or, at least, to run against them, when by a slight northerly detour the westward passage might be made with the loss of only a day or two, instead of with the loss of ten days (as in the Case above cited), and with the added proba- bility of the loss of the vessel and her crew, ENTERTAINING THE JAPANESE, -Miltary Review in Their Honor—Excurston and Banquet Yesterday—A Good Time Gen- orally for Lwakura’s Party.

The following special despatch to the Heratp has been received from our corre- spondent in the capital of France: — Panis, Jan, 20, 1872, President Thiers to-day received’ a Parlia- mentary deputation, composed of members representing the different legislative parties which united in rolling up the adverse vote on the tariff tax question in the Assembly dur- ing the session on Friday. The subject matter then in debate was re- viewed and discussed during the conference, but M. Thiers persisted in his declaration to resign the Executive chair to-day, An endeavor which has been made with the view of reconciling his. retention of office with the defeat which his administration sus- tained in the National Assembly has been, so far, in vain, MOST SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES ANTICIPATED. It is feared, should Thiers resign, that the Prussians will reoccupy the hostaged depart- ments of France in order to make certain of the regular payment of the French war indem- nity instalments, President Thiers will perbaps require the Legislative Assembly to accept his tariff pro- ject of a taxon raw material to be used in manufacture, as a first and principal condition of his retaining office.

Lonpon, Jan. 20—P. M. M. Thiers, in accordance with previous in- timations, sent to the Assembly to-day his formal resignation as President of the republic. It was accompanied with the announcement that all the Ministers also tendered their resignations, Great excitement prevailed in the Chamber on the reading of the communications, AOTION OF THE PARLIAMENT, A vote was adopted almost unanimously, only six members dissenting, appealing to the patriotism of the President, refusing to accept his resignation and passing to the considera- tion of the order of the day, A deputation was appointed to announce to M.

A Deputy subsequently moved that a com- mittee of the Assembly be appointed to endeavor to effect a compromise with the Executive, and in case of failure to consider and report to the Assembly forthwith what measures should be taken under the circum- stances. All the parliamentary clubs are sending dep- utations to M. Theirs to dissuade him from his purpose, REAOTION OF PARTY. The Deputies of the Right Centre held a meeting during the afternoon and adopted a resolution declaring that the tariff was solely a question of finance, not of politics, and that “in voting against the proposal to tax raw ma- terials they had no intention of expressing want of confidence in the government,” Agitation in MarsetileeConcentration of Mill. tary and Naval Forces—Oficial Explana- tion.

ART MATTERS. The Artists? Fund Exhibition. The private view of this excellent institution came of last night, Only the members and the represen- tatives of tue press were present, but they contrived to make the affair really pleasant. The exhipition of works also was eminently satisfactory, giving Proof that the utility o. the institution 1s becoming more fully recognized by the artists, It remains for the public to mark their sympathy by extending Practical support to tne humane work for which tne fund has becn established, and so mark in an unmistakable way their appreciation of the labor of the artist to instruct and elevate. On Monday the exhtbition im the Somerville Gallery will be throwu open free to the public until the 30th inst, when the works will be sold by auction for the benent of the fund, We have not space to-day to notice many of the works which attracted our at- tention, We can only mention a tew, taken at haphazard. Sontag’s “Mount Washington,” Gif- ford’s “In the Catskills,” as full of charms as a fairy scene; Boughton’s ‘Che Blinding Mist Came Down,” a sad pieture, full of the feeling of desoia- Uon; De Haas’ “Shipwreck at Grenville,” a picture Of real power, in which this artist's sea treatment has been eminently successful; Whittredge’s “Twi lught on the Plains, Colorado,” bathed in the golden sunset, and David Jonnson’s cool bit. of lakescal “spitrock Island, Champlain,” Kensetts’ “Massachusetts Coast,” and Gay's “Nothing to Eat,” an_ effective nting, in the artist's best manner, Brown's Couldn't Help 1U'" 1s full of childish feeling, These few works, which we have been able to mention, will please every one interested In the welfare of American art. We regret that want of space compels us to pass over many meritorious pictures so hastily, but we wiltmake amends in a few days. The Brooklyn Art Assoctation. The council of this excellent institution has ts- sued a circular explaining its objects and the work which it has already achieved in promoting art knowledge, and asking the support of the patrons of art tn future efforts, An appeal 1s made to wealthy collectors to contribute some of the treasures of art which are hid away in private galleries, to the LOAN BXHIBITIONS which form so important @ part of the work of the institution, At tlis moment, owing to the necessartly limite nuinber of really good works produced by the American school, it is impossibie to have instructive exhibitions composed en- Urely of new works, Besides it 18 not deaira- ble that good works should be withdrawn from the public eye and buried in pri- vate galleries, where they can only be, secn by a limited number of people. Even tn Europe, where artists are so much more numerous, the system of loan exhibitions has been extensively adopted and attended with the best result, Not alone have the Royal and the public and the private galleries been laid under contribution for the paint- ings of the old masters, but the works of moaern painters have been collected from time to time tor the benefit of the students and the public. ‘The best resuils have followed, both by increasing the knowledge of the students and rendering them acquainted with the characteristics of the old and tne contemporary schools, a8 well as giving increased development to art taste, In tact, these exhibitions, by bringing the people face to face with the works of tbe masters, have POPULARIZED THE BEAUTIFUL, spreading broadcast those refined appreciations which have hitherto been considered as the excin- sive property of afew. Perhaps no nation has more urgent need of the popularization of the love and reverence of whatever ts beautiful and pure than our own, which has abandoned itself for so long a time to the tetish worshtp of mere matertal pros- perity to the neglect of those higher and more ele- vating influences upon which society rests with the greatest security, Belleving this, we welcome the promise of renewed effort on the part of our rookiyn friends to create and foster a correct @nud discriminating taste for art. we urged upon the authorities of our own slow-moving Academy of Design to initiate just such & Movement In place Of those depressing win- ler exhibitions which our methoutcal trends insist On inflicting op the public, fo the chagrin of every one outside thelr own body tu anywise interested in the fosterage Of art among our citizens, Now, indeed, that they are about to have A FORMIDABLE RIVAL our friends in Tweniy-third street may be moved to recognize the requirements of the situation.

On Friday two remarkable piciures were placed on exhibition in this gallery—“fne Crucifixion,’’ by Gerome, and “The Creation,” by Brion, both pictures full of wondrous power, and displaying deep thought, combined with rare technical power.

In addition to the great power of the composition it has Claims to minute topographt. cal correctness, the artist having visited the ‘loly Cuy for the purpose of getting nis details correctly.

Our artists ave busily at work developing the results of their summer studies tn the brigut deids and among the shady trees. Shut up in their snug studios, defended from the onslanghts of Winter, with his chill winds and snowy winding-sheets covering up and hiding ali the generous beauties of the golden summer time, they strive to recall memories of the sunny hours spent in'glade and meadow, when the happy, rovust year, in the heyday of existence, put on nis brightest vesture. Forgetting the cold and withered aspect of nature now that the autumnal glories have passed away the arust calls around fim the brilliant hues and tenuer shadows that gave such charm to his. rural wanderings, and us tho mind, obedient to will, pagses in review the forms and colors that have fled, by the magic of his art the painter records them on the canvass until the scenes seem to live and giow again under the touch of nts brush. FLOODS OF LIGHT, GOLDEN, MELLOW, pour into the studio, unseen by the vuigar cye, but palpable to the imagination and memory in which dwell so much of the painter’s power. To see forms ag they exist belongs to ordinary men; to see in them what they express and suggest, and to convey this quality to others, belongs to the poet and the artist only. Hence the unreality of their existence even in 80 material an age as ours. Winter comes in vain to chill them. They take refuge in the studio, and armed with brush and palette—their sword and shieid—defy the hoary warrior to mortal combat, The flelds cast off their ‘wintry shrouds and laugh again in the warm sun- Snine, while the tender shadows slain by cruel De- cember stealfrom their early graves and wanton through the tremulous foliage. Most of our artists are true neliotropes, who turn to the objegs of their worship with the devotion of an % Ghebers. In stunmer we find them in the flelds jotcing Va the smiles of generous Sol; and whe the tender leaves give forth their most deligute colors, ex- puring for grief that WARMLY WOOING 8V uur is about to depart and leave tl’zm aisconsolate to the harsh reproots of Win¥.r, the painter still lingers to record the glories ‘of ‘autumnal sorrow. And when Winter has Wif.aked nis wanton ven- geance on the beauties of ‘\ne feld and forest the artist gives them a new f.nd eternal ile upon his glowing canvass. One ‘of the most notewortny of the sun worshippers, “yr. James Hart, has Just completed one of thoy, dreamy, hazy pasiorals, full of warmth and quiey, which always make vs wish for the chance of ¥ ng tor an hour or two in the partioules, 4 outa reat tree, ae of reads oe , uriously wal e Grit ‘slowly Oy , gnd folowing tem in Imagination iano she ‘as Of apace.

The brothers Smillie made last summer an ex- cursion to the far-tamed Yosemite Valley, and have brought back numerous interesting sketches from that picturesque region; but, owing to the late time of their retura, they have not n able te utilize their preparatory studies.
