PINE ARTS. —— . W. DERBY'S PICTURY GALLFRY. Mr. Derby, not content with having already given his name to one of the largest and handsemest Jeries for the exhibition of pictures in our city, has opened another, 50 conveniently situated, so ele- guntly and comfortably fitted up, and so well lighted, that it leaves nothing in these respects to be desired, while, as if to give people no excuse for !‘ml looking in to sce wh: has been doing, he has in- duced Mr. W. P. Wright of Weehawken to sell him the whole of his well-known collection of pictures— Rosa Bonheur's “Horse Fair” included—and has Dronght them all over to his new g lery, in order to give it a good christening at the very start. Thero are 145 pictures on these walls, and nearly all of them belonged to Mr. Wright's gallery; but, as is almost inevitable in this country at present, only a small proportion of paintings out of such a number ure of first-rate excellence or of permanent . It requires a rare combination of taste and wealth to make a large collection of pictures which shall con- tain only a few poor ones; and lest we should be thought to be unjust to our countrymen, we hasten 0 add that among the vastly greater number of pri- SOCIETT iN WASHINGTON. — GEN. GRANT'S RECEPTIONS—RECEPTIONS OF THE PRESIDENT, MR COLFAX, AND MR. STANTON— CONVENSAZIONES—FASHION AND RELIGION—PER- SONAL. From Our Special Correspondent. WASIHINGTON, Jan. 28, 1307, It is very difficult to stop long enongh to sketch n Washington. It i3 as much as one ean do to liveit. Event follows event, scene follows scene in such rapid snecession, like the pictures in phan magoria, one can scarcely name them as they pass. One slips into the tide—goes with it, and wakes up some morning #o tired. Yet the human tide rolls on the same; and watcling it from one's window, say, is decidedly pleasant. It is a reception day. All equipages move foward the West End. The enameled coach, the liveried driver, the thoroughbred borses, the fine ladies in ermine, velvet, and jewels, all move on toward the West End. The “hack,” with its tattered trappings, its shabby driver, its dilapidated horses, and its la- dies in second-rate, “fixed up,” finery, jolts on to- ward the West End. Why not? This is a demo- cratic country, or ought to be; and if Mrs. Clerk vate galleries of England and Europe, there are as few, in proportion, that would not be the better for a thorough weeding out, as there are in America. When Mr. Wright's gallery was formed, it was one of he beet in this part of the country, and the posses- wion of the then famous * Horse Fair” made it cer- taiuly the most distinguished. But, since that day, the enterprise of our importers of foreign pictures, the improvement of our own artists, and the compe- tition of our wealthy collectors, have at once raised the standard of what a first-rate gallery should be, and mads eign pictures when they are painted. we are to honor and thank the pioncers who have given their money and their influence to advance the arts, and who Lave done so much to educate and improve the public taste. We are glad to see the “Iorse Fair” again, after 4o lapse of several years, and to find that our old pleasare in it isso little weakened. It certainly is a1 admirable picture, and justifies the popular ver- Ad'et which has placed Rosa Bonheur first among liv- ing animal painters, Ruskin, it will be remeinbered, refuses to admit that she can paint anything more than *“ trotting bodies of horses,” because she cannot, or does not, paint the human face—* shirks it,” as he writes. Seo “Notes, &e., & No. IV, 1838, It is true she does, but the same criticism will apply to every great animal painter (Rubens hardly accepted, if he be counted among them), and most certainly to Landseer, whom Ruskin has praised most hig nd warmly, analysing one of his pictures in illustration of what he means by “greatness” in art (“ Modern Painters,” Yol. 1, Chap. 2); yet Landseer has painted the human face but seldom, and never well. This, however, does not forbid our thinking him a great nter; nor does Mlle. Bonheur's weakness in direction prevent her being » most form- idable rival to the great Englishman, if, indeed, she Lo not his confessed superior. But it will hardly be denicd that the * Horse Fair” 15 a powerful picture. It is interesting to the artist forits technical qualities, and to the multitude for its vigorous realization and its homely truthfalness. 1t is, in fact, exninently a picture to please the multi- tade by frank appeal to their sympathies and its condeseension to their understanding; gnalitics which ensure its perennial popularity. It is, of course, not a work of high art, nor a great picture, in respect of parpose or wotive: but then it makes no pretension 1o be such, nor have we any right to demand lofty purpose or bizh motivein treating such a subicct. All we can fai k for is, truth to nature; and ioyalty o truth, and faithfuluess to nature, are Kosa | hent's proud ¢ The Catalozue docs not tell us whether lait's * Last Houors paid to Counts Egmont and Van Horn” s the original sketeh for the large pictuve, or a re- hy him, made, perhaps, for the engraving.

Almost all Lis subjects are either ghastly or seniimental, aud even in i only its importanceas an episode of hig the history of a great period that makes its gh ness excusable. It is a strong and impressive work, and though bardly done justice to in this reduction, its power to stir the feeling The present Teplica is beautifully painted, Lear the elosest study The two specis vecent production why his name stands so bigh. “The Little Housekecper” is one of his loveliest und most characteristic works; as b day it was painted, and sure to give delight as long as it endures. Nor will its power to cheer the suffer- ing and the lowly, and to make the Lappy and the prosperous thonghtful, be ever less than it is to-day, for it 15 n power it owes to ite inspiration by natore, and the sympathy it betrays with some of the holicst and loveliest, though all unconscions, traits of humanity. By its size and its mercly external sub- ject this little picture belongs, per what i ite elass called ** genie;” but its purpose and its treatment carry it far higher than the Plas- sans, Fichels, Troyers,and Chavets eanreach,into the nobler regions of tiuly historical and rebgious painting. T'he specien of Fleury which we find here gives us uo high cpivion of his power. Tl , thongh histortcal, is of that un‘ortunate selection that quires a long printed explanation to enable us to un- derstand it, and * when we find it, ‘tis not worth the search.” The Ynin:inz1 too, is very bad, the faces in- expressive, and the action and grouping of the fig- nres ge Iy of that artificial made up character that we are teo much necustoined to see in h al lm-lurv- and which always remind us of theatrical aux. As for Mr. Leutze's “ Lady Godive,” abont which »0 much has been said, we should be glad to be relioved of the necessity of saying anything. But this painter, althongh his repuiation is st the wane, is too often alluded to in ternis t an assved position as a 1 permit that we should seer such an opinion.

Human pature is the same in Washington as in London, and yearns to exalt itself by a privileged order, by the escntcheons of nobility and the impas- sable bars of caste. These yearnings are manifested by s “superior air,” and an exclusive devotion to the Corps Diplomatique. Such aspirations are very amnsing to impartial be- bolders, and tempt ono to probe alittle below the surface, to in what manner of soil the family tree took root. The “ humble individual " is not the only one of our public men who from the smallest be; nings has worked his way to place and power. It is tho glory of their country that this is true. We doubly honor the man who, against the odds of fate, has strageled up to suecess, nntil he begins to “ pot on airs;” then it is human nature also to begin * to take bim down.” The Hon.

Among the most popular of the day-receptions are those of Mrs. Grant. Carmages crowd the street for a block from the house, and gay cavalcades of Jadies are seen alighting and retarning throngh half the hours of every Saturday. The spacious parlors are thronged with beanty, fashion, and yonth. People like to come here for they are certain of a kindly welcome. No matter how great the crowd, nor how brief the space allotted for words, they are sure of receiving something more than a merely conventional weleome, Mrs. Graut does not “receive” with the air of a martyr, or 'an automaton.
