LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MAY 4, 1857. FINE ARTS. XHISMON IN WEI SIGNS !OR NEW HALL OF DE ENT OFFICES, TO THE ABBEY ANY, 110118118 or P The public were today admitted to this Exhibi tion, of which a private view took place on Suitors day. It may be as well to remind there who wish to be in a position for forming a judgment an these designs, apart from their mere architectural merits, of the nature and limits of the public want which the competing architects have been called on to supply. The first object to be kept in view is the concentration of the Government oMces, not nem wily under one roof, but within a certain limited area in the immediate neighbourhood of Downing street and Whitehall. The second object is to blend as far as possible with this an improvement of the whole block of ground, the greater part of which is new covered by very inferior buildings, extending from St. James's-park on the north to the Thames on the south, and ranging east and west, on one side or the line of Whitehall and Parliament-street, from Downing-street to Great George-street, and on the other from Richmond-terrace to New Palace-yard. The space thus bounded is marked on the govern ment plan as that within the limits of which the titseamessotration of the government diem 11 , la ffeeted. It is also required by the plan that the new °lkea for the Foreign and War Depart ments shoald be erected on that part of the space thus limited which lies between Downing-street and Charionverost, with a frontage ranging along the present Bee of King-street. It is as well to get se clear a notion as possible of the field of operations thee marked out. Let the reader, then, aup pose himself to be walking from aiLing-cross to Werbsinster Abbey, on the Horse Guards side of Whitehall. He has just reached the new Treasury buildings. There let him pause, and imagine a clean clearance effected of all the small streets and 'an buildings that extend on the right hand along of animaux" we have but to mention that Rosa Bon heur's name appears upon the list of exhibitors, and that the picture exhibited by her is the very best we have yet seen of its peculiar kind. We must regret the absence of such names as Ingres, Delacroix, Fleury, and Diaz—the smallest donations from such pencils being always gratefully received; but can scarcely complain when Isabey, Ary &heifer, Mciasonier, Rosa and Auguste Bonheur, Chrome, Troyon Edouard andlneodore Frere, Chavet, Couture, Bard, Oudin, Eugene Le Poittevin, and others almost equally well known, appear among those who have sent contributions. Horace Vernet and Decamps have each a small picture, neither very favourable specimens of those artists ; M. Vernet's especially being unplea sant in colour and drawing. But the picture of the Exhibition, both from the subject chosen and the power shown in its treatment, is Mdlle. Ran Bon kur's " Denizens of the Highlands," representing a group of Scotch cattle, three fierce and shaggy chil -1 then of the mist, who literally game oat at you, with eyes ao full of smouldering fire, of half- slum bering ferocity, that were the picture of the same propor tions as that of the " Hone Fair," a man might be pardoned if he calculated the chasm of a rush ere he approached it ; and the memo who could walk with &quiet heart and even pub, peettheseehatp horns eat weaddel eyee mast macs bsea bomb Wm the all Naos of Marlborough, "Isegleare saves were in fashion." It is truly a wondertel plater*, full of rigour and spirit. Never were entomb note skilfully por trayed. They are whist in drawing and colour. There is character in every hair that curls about thou surly breheads, in the short strong limbs, in the masa of the heads, and in the firm plant of the boots t while in each eye there lurks a dogged defiance, a sullen consciousness of power. For truth to nature and perfect artistic treat ment, this is the best cattle picture we remember even from the ease pima ; and the previous suc cesses of Mdlle. Bonheur are already well known. It is, therefore, with no slight curiosity that we turn from the picture to the artist, or rather to her por trait, admirably painted by Edouard Dubufe, which also adorns the walls of the present Exhibition. It is such a face as we might have expected to see, if we can judge of the physiognomy of either man or woman from the character of their works. The head is finely formed, slightly masculine in its conforma tion, and rendered yet more so by the manner of wearing the hair. The face is furl of intellect, the eyes clear and steady, agreeingwell with the general expression of the features. The pose of the figure is natural and characteristic, a sketch-book being . herd in the left hand, while the right arm is thrown carelessly across the neck of • bull, the hand holding a crayon. The head of the bull was painted, we believe, by. Mdlle. Bonheur herself, and in truthfulness of colour, life, and ex-' premien, there is every evidence that such is the case. The " Christ crowned with Thorne," by Ary Scheeler, is beautiful in conception, but not so happy in its colour. The figure of the Christ is very good ; the head and whole expression of the fate full of a mild dignity, while the hands holding the mock sceptre, and every other portion of the figure, express a sorrowful resignation. The drapery is admirably arranged, though the general tone of the picture is not pleasing, having the uniform dull, colourless, dead look of which H. Ary Scheirer seems so unaccountably fond. The head of the man in the background, looking down as towards the crowd, is well conceived, and, as a composition, both figures are perfect. the line of between . him and thO Abbey, including the demolition of Fludyer-street, Crown-street, Charles-street, and one side of Great George-street, right back to the Park and Storey's gate. That forme the northern half of the proposed clearance. Let him now cross the way, and go on till he has pawed Richmond-terrace. When he has reached the iron gate leading into Richmond-mews, let him panne again, and suppose a similar clearance effected of all on his left hand between the line of Parliament-street and the river bank, sweeping away Cannon-row, Manchester-buildings, and both sides of Bridge-street. This is the southern half of the proposed clearance. Such a clearance as thie would obviously afford, if rightly improved, a grand opportunity for Metropo-1 litan embellishment ; it is not, however, a necessary part of the plan for the concentration of the Govern ment Offices, and the case made out for it rests on different grounds. The concentration of the Offices is a proved economical necessity. The efficiency . of the public service suffers materially, the expensive- Seel of the public service is materially increased, by the present dispersion of the buildings in which it is carried on. The argument, then, for the coneentra lion of the Offices is economical as well u ;esthetic; that for the improvement of the ground and ap preaches is aesthetic merely. In the present state of the ' national finances, there is little reason to anticipate that the Legislature will pay much attention to con siderations of a purely esthetic character. We have spent too much in demolishing Sebastopol (to say nothing of what we may have to pay for demolieking Clinton) to have much left for beautifying London. The result, as far as it affects the present exhibition of designs, must in all probability be, that out of the 146 sets of drawings, models, and plans sent in for competition to Westminster-hall, those will probably be considered best to have answered the practical end in view which combine the three requisites of fitness for the accommodation of the Government Offices, architectural merit, and comparative economy. Bearing these considerations in mind, it will speedily become obvious to those who visit this ex hibition of designs, that many of the plans here sub mitted to public inspection must be regarded rather as beautiful architectural dreams than practicable possibilities. It is impossible, indeed, to walk up and down the three narrow b oarded Melee, which, stretching from end to end of the great Hall, are thickly covered with the results of architectural ingenuity and toil, without feeling considerable gra tification at the evidence they afford of varied talent and high professional skill. Few of the designs are positively bad many evince a high order of ingenuity and great felicity of combination. One or two are of commanding merit ; one, in our opinion, considering all the conditions of the problem to be solved, leaves very little, if anything, to be desired. We may as well say at once that the design to which we should, on the whole, be thusinclined to give the pre ference is that numbered 141, and inscribed with the motto, "Nee temere nee timide," This plan proposes to concentrate all the Government Offices under one roof, instead of dividing them, as is the case in nanny of the designs, into two or more separate monies of building. The frontage ranges along the =line of King-stmt. The architect (as is se also in plan 71) propo ses to avail himself of the existing Treasury building in Whitehall as form ing, with alterations, one wing of his great facade. The alteration consists of increasing the elevation of the existing building, by the addition at each of its extremities of a second order. The two wings, thus altered, would be connected bye grand centre, under whisk an archway of the boldest dimensions gives mews into a spacious quadrangle. The whole mass of building will form a vast square, and from an in spection of the block plans, &c., it appears that the eassunt of space required by Government will be adequately and even abundantly provided for. AS an architectural elevation, the facade of the pros palled palace is imposing, from its vast extent, its simplicity . , and unostentatious good sense—a quality as appreciable and as pleasing in buildings as in builders. Its want is heights In order, probably, to " draw up" the rest of the building, the architect has planned in the north-west angle of the Park frontage a vast square tower, to be called the Albert Tower, and which in bulk, at all evente, would form a counterpart to the great Victoria Tower of Sir Charles Barry. But here we think the comparison ends. The Italian style does not lend itself to this kind of structure with the same ease as the Gothic, and on the whole the tower of No. 141 would, we think, be better away. Supposing the tower struck out and an in ceased elevation given to the façade we an hardly fancy a plan better adapted thai; this very ingenious design to provide an adequate building for the new Government Offices, which shall at the some time be a conspicuous ornament to the metropolis. The employment it makes of the existing Treasury buildings must of course prove • recommendation on the score of economy. The other designs by which we were more particularly struck were No. 76, No. 107, No. 112, and No. 126. Meanwhile the Exhibition is an interesting one ; and we advise everybody who cares about the architec tarsi decoration of London to go and see it. THE EXHIBITION OF FRENCH ARTISTS. To-day will be opened to the public the fourth annual " Exhibition of Works by French Artists." We make this announcement with much pleasure ; both on account of the praiseworthy character of the Exhibition itself, and of the intrinsic merit of the works of art it yearly eels before us. The present Exhibition contains am hundred sad seventy pictures ; and after a easeful examination of all of them we have came to the agreeable con clusion that there is not one to which the word "bad" could with justice be applied. The liters of " genre " are in great force; in alto, despite prevalluig mannerism, there am some chinning etniinu and in " pilaw MR. WILLIAM COWS COI PICTURES.

ART TREASURES EXHIBITION AT MAN- The accumulated results of much labour, many and complicated arrangements, alternate hopes and fear; and, lest and best, of unparalleled liberality on the part of those who have sent theirprecioas and fragile treasures hundreds of miles, in order that their countrymen may have a sight of them, will in a day or two be thrown open to the inspection of the public. While these lines are being written, every railway that leads directly or indirectly to Manchester is hurrying its hundreds northwards ; and Manchester itself, the traditional ?detropolia of Toil, is preparing with a good grace to be, for some months at least, equally famous as a city of art and • Congress of connoisseurs. And yet, judging from present appearances, the great calico colossus is not very much frighted from its propriety, nor moving much beyond its ordinary steady rate of motion, under the stimulus of the approaching event. While a revolution rages at Old Trafferd,Pircedilly, junior, exhibits its usual eager crowd of baimen non, saving time by Wal&g, so they Ay past, the mastication of the sandwich which they have just snatched at some neighbouring bar. Market-street continues to be blocked up with vane and waggons, much as usual, and so trade plods on its heavy but never weary way through the heart of the great city, while at one of the extremi ties art is displaying its stores, taste is summoning its votaries, and wonder preparing for her untutored children types of beauty, forms of grace, and combi nations of colour, the first glance of which must . . . arouse them to the consciousness of latent faculties, and the luxury of new sensations. The Art Treasures Exhibition of Manchester is now an accomplished fact, the gates are about to be thrown open ; and the labours of generations of the gifted dead will soon be made fami liar as household words to many thousands of her Majesty's industrious subjects. It would seem as if the time were ripe for such a step in advance, for already had Manchester exhibited symptoms of an uneasy consciousness that her vast population might without detriment to their industrial force be taught that men congregate together in large communities for other purposes as well as turning cotton into gold so unceasingly as to have no time for any . other occupation. Statues had begun to appear in the public places, fountains to cast their pleasant spray over the dusty flagways, and the gaunt, gloomy, angular blocks of naked warehouses of the Bwotian period, to be superseded by modern edifices of pala tial pretensions, thus showing that wealth had reached that stage when it relieves its plethora by indulging in a little taste and luxury. It is true that the normal condition of the Manchesterian climate is said to be inimical to the development of the finer organisations,or of that acuteness of percep tion which makes a relish for the rare and beautiful a natural and ordinary appetite. Day and night, winter and summer, ten thousand tall chimneys " lift their heads and "—smoke, perpetually manu facturing fogs, to which even our " - London parti cular " is no more to be compared than is the fashion able bitter beer of the present day to the stout, honest October of our ancestors. The illustrious Mr. Barnum, it is said, once proposed to take away a small block of the Manchester fog for his museum; but even if it ever were dense enough for that purpose, the sun of enlightenment and progress is now at last cheerily peeping through, and—a good omen for art and its admirers—we have here at the present moment a transparency of atmosphere which, I am informed, baffle* the reminiscences of the oldest in habitant. It is a matter of curious speculation to anticipate what Mr. Macaulay's friend from New Zealand will say of Manchester in some twenty centuries or so, particularly if any recognisable frag ments should remain of those huge omnibuses which now stand in portentous file, like the elephants of Pyrrhus, ready fur the pass e ngers who, during the next few months, will require conveyance to the exhibition building. Talk of our London "saloons," or the Great Eastern steamship, or Noah's ark, or the menagerie vans, or any other recognised type of magnitude- Manchester omnibus is greater in its way than any of those famous leviathans of vehicu lanty. It is, in short, a Crystal Palace on wheels, with colour enough about it to satisfy Owen Jones, and offering ample travelling accom modation to a migratory parish. By the help of sealing ladders ingeniously stuck all over the outside, the more adventurous por tion of the population mount the roof, till it looks like the garrisoned tower in a Nineveh fresco, and prove that Mont Blanc would be mere child's play to your Manchester man after a moderate course of domestic omnibus travelling. In the interior, pas sengers perpetually drop in, but they are soon lost in the vast expanse, while the conductor promenades loosely up and downArosses from one side to the other at his leisure to take the money, or carelessly throws himself along a seat to read his newspaper or the last number of the Edinburgh Retina. The little boys along the road seem instinctively to know when he is thus studiously inclined, for the moment he has opened his favourite journal they spring up in dozens on the tail-board, and often contrive to ride a mile by the time he has finished the Neufchatel complication. It will hardly be believed that this moving house is drawn by two, or at most three mo derate-sized horses, and that it does the distance between Market-street and Old Trafford in little more time than a London 'bus would take to go a simi lardistance. Let the projectors of the Exhibition then have no fears for their vehicular facilities—a few such omnibuses as may be seen here at any hour in the day would enable the whole population to pay them an occasional visit. But besides—and this is an impor tant: feature—the building is within easy walking distance of the centre of the town. It is theoreti cally supposed to be placed beyond the reach of the urban smoke, but I fear that, with the wind setting in that direction, a cloud will occasionally hover over the realm of art. By way of contrast, it is to be supposed, to the congress of bright colours to which it leads, the whole of the footway is laid down with smithy ashes, and the effect is certainly sufficiently lugubrious. To-day it is covered with a constant stream of people, the fairest portion of whom incessantly crack nuts, a supply of which seems to be au indispensable appendage to every young lady's promenade toilette. It is said that it will take two millions of visitors to make the Exhibition remunerative ; but what with these pro menaders and the huge omnibuses aforesaid, I do not think there is much doubt that within the speci fied six months even more than that number will have easily and profitably visited Old Trafford. With respect to the building itself, people at a dis tance must discard all their reminiscences of Hyde Park or Sydenham Crystal Palaces in forming their conception of its character or extent. In size, and more especially in altitude, it stands in the same rela tion to those monsters as does a piccolo piano to one of Erard's "grands," but for its size it is as handsome and as well proportioned as either, although the first impression it will convey to the visitor from London will certainly not be one of immensity. On the other band, if he came prepared to look upon it merely as a picture gallery, it would be hard to surpass it in ex tent, while it will be found exceedingly well adapted for its purpose, and most admirably lighted on the principle originally introduced by Sir John Benson at the Dublin Exhibition. The extertor is unpretending enough, and it is perhaps better it should be so, for as good wine needs no bush, neither does the accumu lation of art treasures to be found here require any thing but a fan-light and good hanging room to wake it the most attractive of exhibitions. Of the value of this collection it would be chimerical to attempt any estimate, for ilsio hardly to be repre sented by money; but it maygive some slight notion to O&M that the Marquis of Hertford's contribution, which' numerically forms but a small proportion of the whole, is said to be worth 100,0001., while Lord Carlisle sends one picture for which 6,001. has been refused. Then there are the heirlooms of families and corporations, each with its history or tradition giving to it a peculiar and sacred value, the tangible proof of old descent, the artistic title-deeds of lengthy pedigree and the gems which are alone of their kind in t he whole world, and which nothing bat a noble feeling of patriotism and public spirit could ever have induced their possessors to allow for a moment out of their own keeping, so that, taking everything into consideration, it is hardly too much to say that such or so dainty a meal has never before been prepared for that insatiate hungry monster, public curiosity. To attempt any detailed account of the arrangements, or offer any criticism on the merita of such a mass, after one hurried visit, would surpass the feat of that celebrated writer, who, having visited Paris for a week, " did" France his torically, socially, and statistically, from the invasion of the Franks to tho secession of Louis Philippe. As well might C. ism Ifaba commence a numismatic dissertation over the sacks of sequins in the cave of the forty thieves, as for year co cot to attempt, In this letter, more than the slightest pos sible glance at the Art Treasures pictures, or their arrangement. I believe M. Scharf 's lead ing idea, with respect to the ancient nes tent is to arrayse them as far as possible at once chronologically and geographically, that is to say, by ranging German art according to date along one side of his gallery, and Italian on the other. In the earliest period of art the materials for this classification are abundant enough, but, in the later and palmier days, Italy has the field to herself ; and here, as well as in the German and Flemish schools, will be found in abundance pictures on which cri ticism has been exhausted, and whose fame has tra velled all over the world. The " Three Marks" from Castle Howard, the " Rainbow," Rubena, a whole gallery of Raffaelles, one or two undoubted Michael Angeles, the famous Quentin Matsys from Windsor Castle, in short, masterpieces of every great name, from Giotto downward- may be men tioned at random, as a few amongst hundreds which at some future day must receive more careful atten tion. In another department will be found a collec tion of English art, which will flatter the patriotic feeling as well as gratify the taste of the visitor*. Hogarth and Reynolds, Wilson and Gainsborough, Thornhill and Lawrence—all the great names, down to our irreat living celebrities, are here represented in rich profusion, and in such characteristic specimens as to fix their respective styles permanently on the memories of the spectators. Then there is the beau tiful gallery of water-colours, including an immense array of Turner's ; and last, though not least, the wondrous collection of portraits which decorates tho great central p romenade. This is not the time nor place to enter into their merits as works of art; but, viewed from the historical point of view, it would be impossible to conceive anything more suggestive or interesting than this long gallery. The portrait —one of the oldest extant—of Richard 11. tells the whole story of that poor king ; and one might almost write a character of Bluff Harry from the canvas of Holbcin. To look at Francis I. as he lives again in the work of the same master were more in structive as to his life and failures than whole quartos of the old memoirs. In another picture of Holbein's stand Luther, Melancthon, Zwinglius, and a crowd of the early he ads of the Reformation, with such marvellous intrinsic evidence of the fidelity of the portraits as to explain at once the reasons of that divergence in doctrine. Our " Good Queen Bess," too, in girlhood, in her prime, and in old age, her dancing chancellor, and her various suitors, may all be made acquaintance with at Old Trafford, and on much easier terms than if any of them were alive in the body. When I add to this rough railroad sketch, the Soulages collection, the almost innumera ble works of art, and the unique collection of ancient armour, I hope I shall, to some extent, have relieved public curiosity and prepared it for the great event which Prince Albert is to inaugurate on Tues day next. During the past week an extraordinary collection of rare and curious books and manuscript*, was submitted to the hammer by Messrs. Sotheby and Wilkinson, and realised prices worthy the moat abeurd period of bibliornania. The sale produced 4,8601. 14s.

This is much to bo regretted, and we cannot help suspecting that had it not been for bad management in the preliminary arrangements a much logger audience would have been pre sent to welcome the popular author of " Vanity Fair." It was most certainly disrespectful and uncrie gal in those to whom the arrangements were entrusted ,that Thackeiay was allowed to ascend the platform alone and unannounced.
