An auction sale, at which nothing but rempants were disposed of, closed the Hebrew Charity Fair at Gilmore’s Garden late on Wednesday evening. The success with which the fair met was as unprecedented as it was un- expected. The gross receipts will amount to over $135,000, of which about $20,000 must be deducted for expenses, leaving a net gain of $115,000. The popularity of ministers, physicians and the managers of the fair was expressed by the presentation to them of articles for which their respective friends invested their money. Rey. Mr. Lyou obtained by this means a yery handsome bamboo bedroom set; Dr. Michaelis the magnificent chair already described in the Hxratp, and which brought $1,200; and a gold-headed ebony cane, suitably Martin S.

Citizens who reside un the streets traversed by the cars of the Fourth avenue and the Broadway snd Seventh avenue lines, and who constantly pass over them, It is stated; have inaugurated a movement to induce the companies to introduce stoves, and a favorable consid- eration has been given to their ppp aseistiats Ibis needless to mention the ambunt® 6f pin ani discom- | fort that have to be endured by people who, on days when the thermometer Hngers in the vicinity of zero, d whea biting winds roam through open doors, are conveyance to go lwany miles and return trom places: where they are employed, There are several New York companies which are Very little troubled by the kuow!- edge of these facts; but if, as there is some cause to think, the improvement is to be made on the two roads above mentioned, the example thus set will very probably be soon tollowed by others now more incon- siderate and grasping.

A convention of delegates from the different associa- tions of saloon keepers trom New York and Kings county met yesterday afternoon at No, 26 Rivington street, their object being to consult tor the purpose of framing asensible excise bill to be presented to the coming Legislature. Major George W. Sauer, chairman of the Convention, called attention to the fact that when a bill providing for a uniform license was taken to Albany last year there were no less than twelve bills presented, and the consequence was that no action was taken upon any of them. The principal feature of the bill was a uniforin rate of license throughout the State, | making no distinction whatever between the country and the cities. The princfpal question under con- sideration yesterday was as to the best means to adopt in order to obtain the undivided action and united sup- port of liquor dealers throughout the State for the provisions of their bill. There was the greatest unanim- Nachtman, Joseph Frick, President of the New ‘aloon Keep Association Cunningham, P dent of the Liquor Dealers’ Protective Union, and others. One point wus dwelt upon strongly by all— that the provisions of the present law were not carried out in accordauce with the letter of the law.

THE DEBT OF THE ACADEMY OF DESIGN NOTES FROM THE STUDIOS AND GALLERIES, ‘The Academy of Design has tried to raise the amount of its mortgage debt of $35,000 and failed. The amount obtained gt the sale and from money contributions amounts to legs than $5,000, For various reasons many of our best artists would not or could not send pictur some not being able to afford to give the work of perhapt months at the beginning of this the most unfavorable season which artists have knowa for many years. ‘The Gne arts are always the first to suffer in times ot oancial depression. Others have’ not contributed from principle, they arguing that av institution like the Academy must be supported by the wealthy citizens and not the artists, who are proverbially poor in money, though rich fo intellect, culture and the higher qualities of the human mind and heart, By far the greater number of artists who refused to send works did se from a feeling of opposition to those whe manage the affuirs of the Academy. It may not be generally knowm that about a year ago the Aca- Gemiciavs called a meeting of the members of the Academy—which consists of Acadomicians, associates and honorary members—to devise some plan by which this debt might be paid. The ollicers are chosen by Academicians {rom their number, who also promote associates to their own ranks, a8 well as appoint them in the first place, the associates having no voice in any matter, When called upon they asked to have the privilege of @ vote in the management of affairs, bul this being denied them, they in 0 body resigned thelt positions as members of the Academy. No action wat taken by the Academicians on their resignations and they are, consequently, still members, whether they ‘«will or no.’” Most of thesd associates, and some of the Academicians tov, advocate the sale of the present building, and the erection of a less expensive one, with stores beneath, that the institution may be self-sup- porting. But the more conservative and arise tocratic of some of the older men, wish to k the building exclusively for art. The debt is mestly that incurred by the erection of this same building, which has never been entirely finished, Fifteen thousand dollars has been added to it within the past five years for the benefit of the schools, which showed the appreciation of itt increased adyantages by the high standard of work at tained by its pupils, An appeal was made to the millionaires of the city for means to keep up these ad vantages, by adding to the amount which now supports the schools the income of $80,000 left for that pur- pose % Suydam, Extra support was refused, and as the Academy could not continue to run in debt unti! its property was all gone, of course the school depart’ ment hud to go back to its old level. The majority ot the students have, however, formed an association among themselves, which bids fair to become permanen& If the associate artists who will next take the places of those now in power shouid adhere to their resolve not to remain members of the Academy, the institu- tion must still find some way to support itself instead of begging money. It is the representative tnsti- tution of American art and the nucleus around which art should centre in the metropolis of the United States, ‘The best works of our artists should hang on its walla at the exhibitions, that the vwsthetic tastes of the peo- ple may be cultivated and those who can appreciate, but cannot afford to buy good works of art, may see them for afew weeks in the year, The ideas of for- cigners are generally taken from institutions which ought to represent a standard gained by a nation, and it that Mmstitution shows only the poorest instead of the best, it 18 our own fault if they guin erroneous ideas, William F. MacMaster occupies a pleasant studio in the Domestic building facing Union square. Here may be seer several of his works, varied in subject, he having been a journalist and politician as well as artist, ‘and a peculiar interest is attached to some of his paint ings trom associations connected with them, indepen- dent of their artistic merit. Here is the last portrait of Buchanan, painted during the campaign; a portrait of MacMahon, which pleased even the critical tastes of the Frenehm “The Opera Belle,’’ which was ex- Lubited at the French Exposition in 1856, and a por- trait of Washington by Stuart, ‘The last was purchased from Mrs, Madison’s collection by the artist. Having been an extensive traveller, Mr. MacMaster has, of course, many foreign pictures; one of a Swiss inn, showing the thrift of the that region. ‘The bechives over a flowers on the balconies 1m close contact with drying linen, the tables out of doors with guests seated and ap old Woman with ber straw bed and wooden bucket tled to her back stopping before a group seatod at one of them, In the distance are seen the Bernese Alps towering above the church steeple, and in the tore ground is-a donkey laden with wooden pauniers, used tur carrying iilk, &c.
