One of the most interesting features of the Ameri- can Institute Exhibition is the collection of histori- cal portraits contributed by Mr. M. B. Brady, the well-known photographer, of this city and Washing- ton. Through his Washington gallery Mr. Brady was able to bring together pictures of the leading statesmen of the country during the last quarter of acentury, while at his principal place of business in this city he obtained negatives of the most dis- tinguished men in art, letters and the Church. The eighteen portraits now on exhibition are them- selves the best evidence of the range and value of Mr. Brady's collection. Journalisin is represented by James Gordon Bennett, literature by Washington Irving and Edgar Allen Poe, science by Audubon and Morse, the Bench and Bar by Judge Story, Chancellor Kent and James T. Brady; the clergy by Archbishop Mc- Closkey and Bishop Potter, and our institutions of learning by President Barnard. Clay, Webster and Calhoun hang side by side ; two Presidents, Andrew Jackson and Zachary Taylor, are among the num- ber, and the whole is compieted with the portraits of Francis B. Cutting and Albert Gitlatin. These Pictures are life-size portraits, reproduced from the original negatives in Mr. Brady's possession, and, interesting as they are in themselves, both on account of their subjects and their excellence, the fact that they are merely specimens of a collection gathered in thirtv years of labor in the political capital and the commercial and literary metropolis of the country adds an additional charm, is collection, so Wide in range and reaching so far back into the past, was made the subject of a re- port to the House of Representatives by Mr. Peters, of Maine, from the Joint Committee on the Library of Congress, recommending its purchase by the general government as a national gallery of historical portraits. The collection embraces more than twe thousand pictures; and if the brought together in some place in or nei Capitol, where they will be carefully preserved and readily accessible, they will become one of the art features not only of Washington, but of the whole country. Mr. Brady intends relinquishing his business in that city to give @ personal and more fherougn supervision to his gallery here, which makes it important that Congress should act upon the matter at the next session, since some of the most valuabie negatives may be destroyed by re- moval and shipment, thus making the reproduc- tion of the pictures impossible. With a nucleus such as this the collection can be tncreased irom year to year without expense to the government, and the gallery will always ve found a piace of en- during interest and value.

The sections of the Cortes have authorized the introduction on Monday of a resolution for the im- peachment of Seijor Sagasta and the members of his Ministry. THE ESSENTIAL OF THR LEGISLATIVE INDICTMENT, This is to be found in the recent course of the members of the Sagasta opposition in the Cortes towards the King's Cabinet and the policy of the existing Ministry. Sefior Col- lan assailed both the one and the other in derce terms from his place in the House during the early days of the present month, He made a rapid survey of the various Cong: esses, Ministries and elections which Spain has had since the revolution, and then launched out into a fierce attack on them all, comparing them to a corpse in a sepulchre, and saying :— In view of that corpse and that sepul- chre I said always, and here say it aguin, that the revolution of September committed & grave fauit and an unpardonable error in not proclaiming Don Alfonso de Bourbon as King of Spain at the Bridge of Alcolea. The catastrophe of the dethronement of his mother having occurred, the men who had done that great mischier he have introduced some consolation and remedy for the future, They migit have had for them- selves all they wished—regencies, ministries, titles. They would have had power; but the nation would have had a national king, and nota king of a party, and we might all of us had @ common dynasty round which to have Gauhered in days of danger, The revolution is ead.

ART MATTERS, pla Ries Cetin aie MacDonald has completed Mis model in clay of the statue of General Nathaniel Lyon, who was killed at the battle of Wilson's Creek while leading his men th a charge on tae rebel lines during the late unpleasantuess, The General was highly thought of in the army, although a somewhat strict disciplinarian, and some of his comrades be- lieved he was destined to make a distinguished figure as a soldier. All their calculations were, however, set at naught by some obscure rifleman among the boys in gray, of whom history pre- serves norecord, General Lyon was a New Eng- lander by birth, but at the outbreak of the rebellion was living in Missouri. In order to mark their sense of his value as a citizen and @ man some of his friends resolved to raise a public monument to hismemory. The commission was entrusted to MacDonaid, and the result is the work under no- tice. The statue is an equestrian one, and the mo- ment chosen by the artist that in which the Gen- eral is supposed to be addressing his troops pre- vious to the final charge in which he lost his life. This’conception, we fear, 18 open to the charge of being a poetical fiction, as generals, as a usual thing, don't make stump speeches while under fire, how- ever grandiloquent they sometimes prove them- selves when out of range.

Our esthetic neighbors over the water are in- dulging in the luxury of a Kings county “Exposi- tion and Industrial Fair,’’ which is now in progress at the Rink, in Clermont avenue. In connection with the industrial exhibition a fine art galler: been organized, containing some one hundred and fifty pictures by well known artists. Most of the works have deen placed upon exhibition by private collectors. Mr. Chapman, a wel: known patron of art in Brooklyn, is a large contributor both of native and foreign works. The Art Committee are Theodore L. Grannis, William C, Hudson and John M. Falconer. James Hart has just completed a commission for three small landscape subjects, which exhibit nearly all the pecuilarities of his style. They form a kind of précis of his art and are full of interest on this account, quite independent of their other merits. In one which he calls “On the Bouquet,” we have the Hart treatment of mountains— trees with streams flowing through woods. There could be no mistake a3 to the artist. The same remark is almost equally true of a river and cattle subject on the Housatonic. A scene on Israel's River gives us an example of his treatment of cat- tle in landscape, which he intends to make his specialty in the future. J. H.

Yesterday the committee appointed at the meeting of Germans on Friday night in opposition to the enforcement of the law called on Mayor Medill and presented the resoiutions passed by the meeting, requesting the Mayor to suspend the enforcement of the ordinance until a new City Council was elected. The Mayor said he had no discretion in the matter of enforcing the law; that as long as the ordinance was unfepealed his duty was plain, and, without expressing any optaton as to its propriety, he could not swerve from the course he had laid out for himself in this matter. He did not propose to enforce the law harshly by the ar- rest of offenders, but would have them before the oper upon @ summons and leave the matter ere, The Mayor also replied to an address of the temperance men insisting that he should enforce the ordinance vy the arrest of the guilty parties and the forcible Sires of their places. je in- formed the committee he should continue to act in accordance with his understanding of the law and his convictions of oficial duty, and respecttully Ceclined to be instructed or commanded py un- Oiticial individuais in relatjoa thereto, | WASHB } URNE. The Minister Inter- viewéd. DIPLOMATIC RETICENCE. Stability of the French Re- public Assured. OUR FOREIGN POLICY. reece td ED Washburne Not tor the Cabinet. The Hon. E, B, Washburne, United Statea Minis- ter to the French Republic, arrived in New York on board the Deutschland on Saturday afternoon, The conduct of this gentleman during the siege of Paria reflected so much credit on America, and gave such general satisfaction to the public, that his arrival on the eye’ of the Presidential election caused a good deal of interest in the public mind. In order to satisfy the public curiosity, & IIBRALD reporter was detailed to call upon the distinguished diplomat on the part of the public, and request him to allow the many headed into his confidence, The superstitious dread en- tertained by some public men of the genus inter- viewer makes them dread the approach of any one connected with a newspaper. Con- sidering Mr. Washburne’s lengthened absence from his native country, it is not much to be wondered at that he should look forward with a feeling of uneasiness to the interview ordeal. The HERALp reporter therefore found some difficulty even in approaching his victim, because the diplomatist was cautious, and kept himself carefully out of view, but evidently did not wish to appear to doso, But reporters are not in the habit of allowing themselves to be dis- couraged by obstacles that would arrest ordinary mortals, and in the end Mr, Washburne sur- rendered at discretion with the best possible possible grace. Passing through the brilliant cor- ridovs of the Fifth Avenue Hotel and the crowd of charming-looking ladies who lent infinite attraction to the scene, the Heratp reporter was conducted to the modest apartments on the third story occu- pied by Mr, Washburne. He found that gentle- man seated on 4 sofa and looking evidently Ia- tigued. He rose as the reporter entered and expressed his satisfaction at meeting a representa- tive of the HeRALp. Mr, Washburne, who appears to have seen some fifty Summers, appears to en- Joy excellent health and spirits, Ho is frank in his manners, witha fluent and easy address, but has the diplomatic virtue of keeping his own coun- sel in a remarkable degree. ‘The conversation was opened by the reporter ex- pressing a hope that Mr. Washburne had enjoyed a pleasant voyage. “We had rather a rough passage, but as the last few days were comparatively ine I got along very well.” “I suppose the siege and the troubles of the Com- mune have altered considerably the appearance of Paris?” “Well, no. Things there are not much changed, except that you would miss some of the public monuments. But such public buildings as were de- stroyed are being built up again rapidly.”’ “Do you think there is any fear of a new outbreak of the Communistic disturbances %”” “Oh, no, These troubles seem to be at an end and are not likely to occur again.’’ “What is your opinion of the state of the French finances +" “That is a question about which I have not suficient information to enable me to express any decided opinion.” “Would not the success of the loans seem to prove an amount of material prosperity in France which was not suspected before ?”” “Yes, it is true that the French people were pos- sessed of very consideranle resources.’’ “There is a feeling among certain classes in this country that the French people are unstable and pote likely to be very successful in governing them- selves. “They will get on well enough if they are let alone. They are both intclligent and industrious, and there is no reason why they should not be able to hte themselves in a satisfactory manner.” “Then you think that the Republic, a8 now estab- lished, is likely to continue ?”” “That is a question upon which I cannot express an opinion. My position as representative of the United States renders it necessary for me to be very careful in uttering words that might be con- strued in a sense dfiferent from what I might intend to express. Besides, whatever views | hold on these subjects are written to the government at Washington, and whatever the authorities there think desirable is given to the public.” Mr. Washburne paused for an instant and then turned the conversation by referring to Stanley's visit to Paris, “A portion of the French press were at first sceptical about Stanley's African expedition ?” “The fact is they could not understand the en- terprise of a newspaper in sending out a search expedition, As you are acquainted with the French people you must know that, though very intelligent aud well informed in all that relates to their own country, they have not the same ac- quaintance with foreign affairs as is possessed by the American or English people.’ “But they were in the end forced to acknowledge that Mr. Staniey did lead the HERALD expedition in search of Dr, Livingstone ?”” “In the end it was generally admitted, and Mr. Stanley received the recognition due to his great courage and perseverance.” ‘As the Stanley question had already been some- what fuily discussed in the metropolitan papers, the reporter endeavored to lead the conversation back into the political channel, and, as the Minister would not express any very decided opinion on French questions, made an effort ‘to transport him across the Pyrenees. 5 cada do you think of the present condition of Spain?” RiThere seems to be no doubt that affairs are tak- ing a satisfactory turn, and that the country is pro- essing.” “Ig not the advent of Zorilla to the Ministry cal- culated to give increased stability tothe govern- nicnt of Amadeus ¢”? “T believe #0; but Iam desirous of avoiding any expression of opinions on these subjects The fact is, [do not think that [have anything to say that the public would care to hear.” “I fear you underestimate the importance at- tached by the people to your opinions, which from your position naturally have great weight.’? “J fear you overrate the interest of the public in my views.”’ s “Considerable difference of opinion exists as to the wisdom of our foreign policy. ‘There is, especially, a good deal of dissatisfaction with the want of vigor plas the government in our dealings with Spain. “Upon that point I suppose the authorities at Washington are most competent to form a correct judgment, They have knowledge of facts and means of information not possessed by any one outside the government, therefore they are the only persons who are in a position to form any- thing like a correct judgment on this point.” “The Washington Treaty has not given satisfaction to the country, as it is pretty generally looked upon as a diplomatic blunder.” “But it mnst be admitted that the Geneva Arbi- tration has been a great advantage to the coun- try by beetle, Pad and restoring confidence to the commercial interests of the country. In doing ee ,Breat service has been rendered to the public. “Whatever mistakes the government of General Grant may have made, the people appear to have condoned them,” “Yes, we ay, look on the battle as fought. Penn- sylvania, Tam inclined to think, has decided the Presidential question.” “So his friends say, but there are those who would doubt it.” “Well, am so short atime home that I cannot form any very pronounced opinion on these mat- ters. How do you think this State will go?” It was now the reporter's turn to get inter- viewed, but on principle he accepted the situation and endeavored to furnish some diplomatic in- formation in this wise :— “The democratic majority in this State has hith- erto been very large, but there was a hope entertained that through the influence of O’Brien a large democratic Mea would be obtained for Dix, The desertion of O’Brien by the republican party will pages k upset that arrangement.” “There is, then, an absolute breach O'Brien?” “It would appear so, but unless one was inti- mately err rants with the wirepulling behind the scenes it would be impossible to form anything like a correct opinion on the subject.” As the Minister's eee interviewing was not likely to elicit anything beyond generalities, he gave up the attempt and left the reporter in pos- session of the field, The latter hastened to profit by the Iull to pursue his investigations. “A rumor has been in circulation, Mr. Washbarne, that you were offered @ place in the Cabinet, and as there are @ good many people who arg desirgus of with ; command the attention of every musician. ae tuk circulation, There ts tain), foundation whatever for it. ony a ig pegtion, with bi entirely per: sonal, one 9 et ced being to vise Bi) father, who is stil ving it ny red nov seen for three years, My Coming has dothing whatever to do with politics, though I hope to cast my ballot for President in native State.

He promised, however, that on his return from Washington he would make ample amends, MUSICAL REVIEW. Signor Ranieri Vilanova, the eminent maestro, has published a number of his works, which for found thought, united with true poetic feeling, The first of these is the result of an evening's contem- plation of one of those Italian sunsets which clothe the heavens tn raiments of glory. It is called “Una Sera sul Pincio,” a reminiscence of Rome, and ia in the form of a meditation. The style ig grand and solemn, with that repose which belongs to a con- templative spirit. The left hand gives & most beautiful arpegglo figure, which 1m itself lends a gravity and repose to the work, although this form of music is generally used for an opposite purpose, The effect of the convent bell is very artistically introduced. “Consuelo” is, in part, a poetic illustration of creole dances, but it is such a dainty, graceful con- ception that it requires the utmost delicacy on the if tN ee BANK CRASH IN MEMPHIS, Suspension of the Memphis * Savings Bank.

The four numbers referred to are quite in keeping with the high standard of the selections in each series. There is a light, airy character about the galop which makes it attractive in the extreme. “The Zither Player” is distingut: for graceful finish and variety of treatment. ‘he Train of Sylpha’’ is something of the polka t spirit and a very bril- lianthwork, “Parting” is a theme with some Mendels- solinian beauty in it.
