Frotn 1855 to 1867 Mr. Bellew was one of the most popular of London preachers, and it is said of tum, by the author of “Preachers aud Preaching.” that “no preacher of our time has greater oratorical gifts by nature, and no man has taken more pains to improve and cultivate them.” He was accustomed to declaim the Lord's Prayer, and often instead of preparing sermons ot his own he would recite the masterpieces of the old divin in his peculiar and mascerly manner.

This year’s exhibition of the works of living French painters is, on the whole, @ very voor one, There is hardly any work to call for public atten- tion—admiration being entirely out of the question, The great medal has been this year given to M, Gérdme, but this has created a good deal of oppo- sition against the jury, and & subscription ts now on foot among the painters to offer a medal to Corot, the great landscape painter, who certainly deserved the official medal tar more than Gérome, But political dissensions rage even among painters. M. Hamon, one of tre best French painters, has years, He was very well known and admired in artistic circles, though he had not, perhaps, an equal reputation among the public. His death is much to be lamented, fhe copyright in Miss Thompson’s picture of ‘The Roll Call’? has been purchased by Mesars, Dickinson & Co., of London, and Mr, Stacpole has |. accepted a commission to engrave it. The picture itsel! has become the property of Queen Victoria. The painting on which Miss Thompson is at present cngaged has for its subject a scene from Waterloo, and represents one of the desperate charges of a party of French cavairy against an English infantry regiment tormed in hollow square. ‘The subject is ar more diMcult than the ‘Roll | Call,” and will fully test the artist’s power, | J.C. Platt, of Brooklyn, has just painted a half length lite size ideal portrait of Jesus Christ. The subject—Christ's promtse to His discipies, “In my Father's house are many mansions; i it were not 80, 1 would Lave told ee 1 go to prepare a place for you. Tuat where [am there ye may be also.” The French Minister of Fine Arts, in his report, suggests that in order to encourage the cultiva- tion of historical painting tne jury chargea with roficiency in this branch of art shal! be empowered to select each year one artist, who will be sent to Kome at the expense of the State, and wito will be ex. cted to send to the Director of the Fine Arta at least one work for every year that he remains there. ‘The subject of a memorial in commemoration of | the services of the late Lord Br ugham has been for some time under the consideration of the Com- mittee of the London Social Science Association | ana the Law Amendment Society.
