FINE ARTS. THE ART-UNION PRIZES. The usual exhibition of the pictures selected by those subscribers to the Art-Union who are fortunate enough to draw prizes in the annual lottery of the society, was opened to private view on Saturday last, at the Gallery of the Society of British Artiste, in Suffolk street. There are exhibited 115 oil-colour paintings sod 37 watercolour drawings, besides which we have the plaster facsimile of Mr. Marshall's marble statue of the " Dancing Girl Reposing"—the chief prize in the last distribution, which fell to the lotof Mr. C. L iKenniog, of Little Brington, Northamptombire—and various statuettes in bronze and porcelain, with two bas-reliefs in tletile ivory, provided by the society as prizes, or as works of art which may be taken in lien of the engravings by extra payment. On the whole the exhibition may tei said to indicate • certain improvement in the popular taste in the general preference shown for landscape over those silly attempts at pictures of domestic comedy, or still worse of sentimental insipidity, which have been repeated ad nauseant in too many places. The water-colour drawings selected especially point to this advance in taste ; they are nearly all excellent, and by artists whose ability has long beeo recognised, such as W. Bennett, W. Callow, T. P. Robins, H. Warren, J. C, Reed, C. Davidson, J. Absolon, and others. The amount of the prizes expended upon these varies from 10 to 40 guineas, the majority being 23 or 35 guinea prizes, and in more than one instance the prizeholder has added to his prize money very largely, in order to obtain the picture he admired. We may take the opportunity of noticing the report of the Art Union and the prospects which it sets forth for the subscribers of the current year. The subscription this year is considerably larger than but year, the sums being in 181.2 9,864/. 155., and in 1863 12.8.58/. C. The council decided to apportion this as follows :-4.125/. in the purchase of works to be selected ; 2,362/. 10a for a statue (600/.). statuettes, bust of the Princess of Wales, Ith. ; and 3.340!. 6s. Id. for the engraving of the year 1863. These sums, with a reserve fund of 2i per cent. on the whole subscrip tion, 321/. 9a, and 2,708/. 17s. 10d. expenses of manage ment, printing, Ice, represent the disbursement side of the accounts so that we may say that in some form or other 9,8271. 19s. 2d. Ands its way into the pockets of the artiste. The set of outlines for the ensuing year (1864) are by Mr. .1. Noel Paton, R.S.A., illustrating Coleridge's poem of "The Ancient Mariner." The-se are twenty in number, and they are now being produced in lithography by Mr. W. Macfarlane, of Edinburgh, under the supervision of the artist. The poem is to be printed upon toned paper, and bound op with the illustrations. Every subscriber will receive this, and, besides a chance of obtaining a selection from the pictures of the year. a statuette in bronze of Polay's •• Caractacus," Durham, '' Go to sleep." • boy with • dog ; bas reliefs in &We ivory by Wyou and Jeffer. son, and a porcelain bust of the Princess of Wales, reduced fromiMm Tbornycroft's admirable bust in marble which was in the Academy exhibition.

PROCLAMATION OF THE ARCHDUKE ILLxutimlA.N AS EMPEROR OF MEXICO. The following intelligence, dated Havana, July 22, is published by the New York journals : The French transport Milan arrived here yesterday from Vera Cruz, having left there on the 13th inst. She brings dates from the former capital of the Republic to the 10th inst., on which day, in the city of Mexico, was proclaimed the empire, the Archduke Maximilian to fill the throne. The Council of Notabilities being duly assembled by a previous couvocation declared unanimously, with the ex ception of two votes, that the Mexicas nation through them selected the empire as the form of government, and through them proclaimed the Archduke Maximilian of Austria Emperor of Mexico, and that should his highness refuse the throne thus offered him, they implored the Emperor of the French to select a person in whom he had full confidence to occupy the throne of Mexico. The public proclamation of the empire of Mexico took place in that city on the 10th inst. A warier was immediately des patched to Vera Crux, and the Milan sent off with the news. It is stated from Vera Cruz that all the towns along the route of the courier made immense manifestations of joy on the promulgation of the news, and at Vera Crux 100 guns were fired in honour of the event. THE BOMBAY AND MAURITIUS MAILS. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Pera, Captain Jamieson, with the heavy portion of the above mails, in charge of Pest-office Marine Clerk W.

AMERICAN MAIL STEAMERS DrE AT LIVERPOOL THIS WEEK.—There are threesteurners doent Liverpool this week, with the mails from America, :—City of London, Nova Scotian, and Africa. The City of London, one of the latest constructed ships of the lumen Company's firer, was to have left New York, on her first return trip to Liver pool, on the let instant, and therefore may be looked for at Queenstown in the course of to-morrow (Tuesday) ; the Nova Scotian, with dates from Quebec to the let, may also be expected at Greencastle to-morrow. On Saturday next the Cunard steamer Africa, with dates from Boston to the sth and from New York, rid Halifax, to the evening of the Gth, may be expected to reach Queenstown. THE AMERICAN MAIL 4.-011 Saturday the Cuuard Royal Rail steamer Asia was despatched from Liverpool for Boston, with mails for the United States and British North America, together with about WO passengers and a full cargo.

Letters, Sc., will be received at the Liver pool Post-office until 4 o'clock p.m., and rid Queenstown till 8.30 p.m. THE POSTAL REFORMS IN TURRET.—We regret to learn that the new postal regulation announced in our paper of last week threatens to prove a dead•letter after all. The Arsenal has ot t i g Lai s i d ret, it is said, supplied a single steamer for the pro service, and—what sounds more incredible i Pacha is said to have replied to the remonstrances of the French, Austrian, and Russian lega twos in behalf of their respective companies, that he knew nothing whatever about the matter! It is impossible to suppose that a government notice so formally given, to say nothing of a reform which could only be carried out through the Foreign-office, should be unknown to the Minister of Foreign Affairs ; yet such we are moored has been the cane in this important instant-a—Levant Heruld, July 29. FATAL LEAS OF THE BRITISH SHIP RESPIGADERA. —A despateh was received at Lloyd's on Saturday, through the Marine department of the Board of Trade, from the English consul at Buenos Ayres, announcing the total wreck of the British ship Reepagaders.

The ill.fated ship struck on the east coast of South America, off Cape Tres Punta., in Ist. 41 S., on the evening of the 7th of May, during a thick mist, the wind blowing a gale from the north. The master and crew took to the three boots and abandoned her. The long-boat, in which was the captain and four hands, reached Toes Island, after being out at sea many days. On the day after leaviog the wreck the long boat lest sight of the other two boats containing the remainder of the crew, and nothing has been heard or seen of them Woos, and there is too much reason to fear that the worst has befallen them.

He had been engaged in the profession for ten years, but never met with • mishap before, I believe, although let terly he has had no end of mounts. and started this season with no fewer than nine "retainers," viz. from the Marquis of Aileebury, Mr. Payne, Mr. Grevi lle, Mr. Amtley, Sir Joseph Hawley, Lord Portsmouth , ptitin Lane, Lord Palmerston, and Mr. Sutton. He was not riding Pellucid for either of these gentlemen, but for the trainer, H. Outer, and had gone to Brighton principally for the purpose of riding Lord Palmerston's Baldwin in the Pavilion Plate on Wedneeday. The chief nee meetings of the correct week are those at Wolverhampton and Leading, the former occupying Tues day and Wednesday, and the bill of fare is one it is knees side to pick a fault ia, the eleven items already closed out of the bakers' dozen to take place being well patronised. Thug are two weight-for-age moss to come off on the first day, one of them, the Pidehall Handicap, over three quarto.. of • mile, having Lady Clifden, Livingstone, the Clown, Little Stag, Attraction, and Queen of Trumps in the list; but Lady Clifden having run into her beet form aaggaiun, it impossible to believe even Livingstone can successfully oppose her, for there is only 111 b between them ; and the style in which she cut down the Clown at Lewes, giving him 421 b, will not warrant the idea that a twir -1 year-old an bowl her over, evert with Attraction in receipt of SAlb, The Cleveland Cup, about two miles and a half, is merely • question whether Fairwater will enter the lists, as she carries no penalty, and only conned .. two stone to the best of the-three-year olds, which is Comet, sod he is far from • good horse over a distance. The Fifth Stamford Biennial Stakes, for two year olds, half • mile, ought to go to Leicester, considering that he carries only Bst 316, as berm Birch Broom and Durham pretty close at Ascot and Stock- bridge, even weighte,Und herein Crytbsia has Bst 111 b. Black Fnar Bst 121 b, Fisherman's Daughter Bst 81b, Lord Adolphus Bst 61b, Cranbury Bst 121 b, and lady Nichol fist 91b, it beings question whether the best of these is equal to either Durham or Birch Broom. The Staffordshire Nursery, also for two- year-olds, is • half-mile handicap, wherein Garotter at Bst 1216, Faith at Bst 41b, and Madame Walton at Bst 21b, have the best of the heavy weight. ; Hymns, at 7st 71b, holding the middle weights safe, and Geduld, at fist, the light weights. In the Holyoake Handicap, one mile and • half, Lord of Linne has to carry the same weight he somas fully took home at Lewes, including his penalty ; but the scale is a very different one, and he may fi nd a dilleulty in Riving 41b to Bandage, and 271 b to Jack o' Newbury. The Wolverhampton Stakes, two miles, on the second day, will bring together but • small proportion of the two dozen so gaged, as Jack o'Hearts'a Goodwood Stakes performance will give him the best of Balham. Magnum Boom, Barchettioa, Umpire, Polynesia, Isoline, and Brien Boru, who have all performed during the past fortnight ; and the distance being out of the comps., of Wyunstay, Suburban, Bandage, and Liston, he has the best of the weights with everything ex cept Change and Joco, only the first named of which is of a elan good enough to compete with Jack o' Hearts, and the issue may be between the two, unless Change is kept for the home meeting. The Fourth Stamford Biennial Stakes, for three-year olds, one mile and • half, has three dozen entered, iucluding Lord Chides, Borealis, Trumps, Judea, Tmjanus, Fluke, Blithfield, Abernethy, Gladstone, Oscar, and Kiog of Utopia ; and in the probable absence of the two St. Leger cracks the prize should be carried off by either Judea or Omar. The Chillington Stakes, for two-year-olds, half 'a mile, has an equally good lot to make up • field from, Light (71b extra), The Doctor (41b extra), Persuasion (71b extra), Cranbury ( 41b extra), Leicester (allowed 51b), Faith (41b ex tra), and Durham (71b extra), being all of a good class. Leicester has the best of it at present; but should the win the Biennial on the first day he will have a 416 penalty instead of the Sib allowance, and if anything can fairly defeat him therein Light must give him the weight here, so that he really has so chance against • lot like Light, Cranbury, and Parmesan, who are all too fast for Durham over • half-mile course, the trio having my confidence in the order named. In the Borough Members' Plate East Sheen will be hard for Lord Stamford to beat, and Flirtation is the best looking for the Welter Cup. . . . . _ The Reading meeting having to iminediately follow Wolverhampton will suffer thereby, ae many of the events in the bill of fare will have too strong a light thrown upon them for the fields to be great ; and yet tbere is certain to be an excellent meeting, the Berkshire Handicap, two miles, being worth between four and five hundred pounde. Balham, 5 yrs, Set Sib, Bandage, 4 yrs, Bat 31b, Earl of Surrey, Sat 21b, Flaah.in.the-Pan, aged, 7st 131 b. Jack o' Hearts, 3 yrs, feat 13lb, Middlewatch, 3 yrs, fist 91b, and Change, 3 yr., Gst 71b, are all engaged is either the Wol verhampton Stakes or Holyoake Handicap, Balham and Change being more leniently treated here, however, as they meet Jack o'Hearts on 11Ib and 61b better terms re spectively, and they ought to beat all the Wolver. hampton horses. Nevertheless. Markdown, 3 yrs, 7st 41b, is only consisting Balham Glb for the defeat in the Goodwood Stakes ; and if he can beat Change and Gardener, 5 yrs, Set 91b, there will not be ninny others to trouble him. It is doubtful whether he can give the weight to Change; and on one of the latter's performancee,this season it looks a real good thing for him, as he ran Spencer to, a neck at Bath at 2lilb difference, and Lord Palmeraton's horse was within half-a-length of Bl,ckdown in the Brighton Stakes at 221 b difference, from which line it seems impossible the Goodwood Stakes winner can give Change 111 b, or even half the weight. For the Stewards' Plate, one mile and equate, my present fancy points to Warminster. .1 yrs. let Glib, al though it's best left alone anti after Wolverhampton, as is also the Nursery Plate, for twoyear.olds, seven furlongs, wherein Mail Train, ;at 111 b, is not the worst treated. TLe Reading Stakes, for two-year olds, half-a-mile, might not tempt a Derby horse like Paris, certainty" as he appear', when Crisis will become the most formidablecandidate, with Black Friar and Fisherman's I)aughter next. Neither is it • certainty that the Tippler will cut in for a paltry race like the Easthempatead Park Stokes, round a course not at all suited to a horse of bin size, Fontenoy being the best of the remainder. The Abbey Stakes, for two-year.olda five fur longs (second day) it will be hard to get Garotter beaten for, despite his 7lb penalty, my greatest doubt being whether he can give a stone to Vanua ; hut Topsy, :lyre, Sit 10Ib, for the mile Whitby Handicap, is the best thing of the day, if we can believe in her running with Cheerful at Brighton. —I am, &c., METEOR.

FRILNCR NAVAL PREPARATIONS. —WO observe that the French government is preparing for any emergency that may mine out of the Polish question, in the event of diplomacy failing to provide a pacific solution. We reed in the Flare dc la Maeda, a naval journal published at Cherbourg. that a ministerial despatch has hese addressed to the Maritime Prefect requiring to be informed el t 3 the time necessary for the "hips in reserve to be got toady and fnllyequipped for ma.

The Maritime Prefect, Visemiet de Chabsones, left Clow boerg for Paris on the :Nth ultimo, and the Emperor is ex- Noted to arrive at Cherbourg on Monday next, The Betinaeuta Cuinisiti, or iron -clads, are expected to ten dezvous at that port, and there are already in the road stead la Normandie, Pluvimihle, and le s..olferino ; the Magenta is also daily expected to arrive there from Breda Vice-Admiral Charles PCoand has been appointed to the command of the iron-clads, and he will hoist his flag on board the Normaodie. We learn also from a French naval source that the "spur." or projecting stern, of the steam rams is to be submitted to a severe test, with a view to ascer tain its practical utility, and this is a most important point respecting which (at least as regards many of the most essential cooditious of this method of warfare) our know ledge is of a purely theoretical character, but it is ques tionable, owing to the reticence of French officisle in these matters, whether England will be permitted to derive any advantage from their experience. A private correspondence from Paris states that there will be a review of the item clads at Cherbourg, Lod that there will also be comparative trials betwen the ships of various types which constitute the new iron sqnsdron ; hut these trials will only take place its the presence of the Minister of Marisa, who is expected at Cherbourg, accompanied by a special commissioo, composed of IL Dupuy de LOints, director of naval works, and two ceneral officers of the fleet. M. Dupuy de lime will he the chairman of the commission, which is instituted to take into consideration the results of the various trials of the iron squadron. The question is, of course. one of great practical importance, and our own Board of Admiralty ought. as early as possible, to follow the example of the Marine Department of the French governmeet.—ifin.pal,,re Teleqraph.
