Mr. Ward has, as we have said, no picture this year. Mr. Creswick has three, very natural, and all repe titions of Mr. Creawick. Mr. Redgrave exhibit, four, all charming, both in the figures and landscapes. Mr. Roberts produces his usual number of power fully painted interiors; and Sir William Ross more than his usual number of portraits. Sir Edwin , Landseer has three admirable pictures, of which we shall say more in a future notice; six of more or less merit; Poole, one,wi th all his faults, and but few of his merits; Denby, an admirable picture, exquisite in feeling and colour; Leslie, one, which we hesitate to condemn, but cannot commend; Egg, a charming subject, from Mr. Thackemy's Esmond, good both in colour and treatment ; Frith, two exquisite sketches one, "The Flower Girl," to be mentioned especially ; and Millais, three, all wonderful in colour and execution, with the same mixture of genius and extravagance that has made for this great artist as many opponents as admirers. J. C. Hook presents us with many of his charming sea-side scenes, full of nature and good figure drawing, each one telling a story, and telling it well, without effort, simplicity of treatment being this rising artist's peculiar charm. Of Mr. Horsley this year we cannot spnik too highly ; his pictures are excellent both in design and treatment, showing an improvement both rapid and sure upon his post works, though Mr. Horsley's spurs were won long ago, and the degree is already high that he has taken in his peculiar school of art. Cooke contri bates some fine sea pictures, even better than usual, though scarcely surpassing his picture of last year, " Chioggian Fishing Vessels, &c.," which is one of the beat studies of shipping we remember. Cope has one largo and two small pictures, the large one to our mind the worst ; Abraham Co oper, the usual number of horses and figures, the latter bad., both in colour and drawing ; root, his smooth skinned nymphs in plenty, very pretty and unna tural; Sir Watson Gordon, many fine portraits; F. Grant, also a goodly number ; F. Goodall, two pictures, of average merit ; Solomon Hart, two, de cidedly below the average; Ilerbert, a beautiful scene upon the French coast, perfect in die artistic treat ment of water and cliff, and charming in its aerial effect; Knight, seven pictures, generally well painted; Patten, two, consisting of pink-skinned large limbed muscular claisicalities ; Frank Stone, the . . same number, but well executed, and both in subject and treatment superior to thaw of late ,ears. Thurburn offers us some life-like portraits ; Mlther ington, four charming English landscapes; Lee, we regret to say, sends nothing to represent him, and this is the more to be regretted when we remember his picture of the "Breakwater at Plymouth," which excited so much of the public approbation last year. Nevertheless, in spite of the absentees, the Royal Academy is well represented, and a better show of really good pictures we have seldom seen apes its walls. And as for those artists whose lams, though without the addition of the magical /otters R.A. or A., are known to us all, they muster in great force. Wallis, whose t•Chatterton' made so kreat and deserved a sensation, has two pictures, which will demand from us a more extended notice. Faed has but one picture, but it is one that both in treatment and feeling surpasses even his previous productions. Linnet has some admirable landscapes, showing all his peculiar and skilful treatment; Amgen - , several pictures of great power, in which we reap the benefit of his late sojourn in Spain ; for he has not only caught the character, but the very atmosphere of the country he visited ; and laat, but sot least, Mr. T. Philip's brush has not been idle, and the result is two pictures of great merit. h'ER'S COLLECTION OP CABINET PICTURES. We have seldom spent a half-hour more pleasantly than th►t whkh we devoted yesterday to the examination of this collection, which remains on view in Mr. Phillip: rooms, New Bond-street, till Tuesday ezt, when it is to be broken op by the suctimiesee hammer. It consists exclusively of worts by distinguished living French artiste. It is the harvest d ten year: gleaning among the eidulitioas sad stadia of Paris. There are only some hundred pintinp fa it. all of mall size, and yet it may be doubted whether a gallery so perhot in its kind is anywhere to be met with. There is not one indifferent pic ture in the collection, and though differing widely both in respect to the subjects treated sad the manner of handling them, a general harmony pervades the whole collection. This is the consegussee, In the first Pa= of the pictures having been selected =elusively from the works of =Maws of real genies and peat •110011911111•1116• I• and, In the i monad pee, of their having boa ierted by one In whom astural Mate and Judgment of the highest order bed been matured by mercies into wring Wight.

Bakes we can become creators we must educate a race of appreciators who will admire—and bay. The weber. atn Sew nobleman, not always possessed of beretlitary wisdom, can never produce a race at artiata. Such patrons lead, bat do not follow. They went their children sod horses, trim and pet dogs, painted, their bosses drawn, their parks skete.hsd ; but they let liaydtms die before their onealehed pictures, and Barry* freeze in Drury Lease heel& Nineteenth-century art has broken from the patron's draw ing-room, and appeals to the crowd, who do not patronise, but purchase. The Manchester Exhibition le a vast epitome of art, an cl and morkini—the beet of its kind ever sampled. Everything is to am, and nothing to sell. Rich tapestries dock the walls ;—Vendykoi end Holbeins bloom above as; ; cues of ivories and bronzes, each worth a king's nutmeat, are piled on either side of us ;—tirophles of Raphael were, such as ware beeped on the bullets of the Medici, delight our eyes on the right;—on the left, the red end black mem of Etruria have been disentorebed to again delight the living. Gold and sliver ere crowded in vises and ingots, till we mom to have all the wealth of Manchester incarnate before our gam Gems sad porcelain, gilded armour, statuary, awed into one vest diapason of art, that has token nineteen centurlee and mote to think out, to hew out, to shape out, end to bring together. It is at owe humiliating and encouraging to think how little duns great encyclopedi a Pericles saw, end how little even Raphael beheld. Bebindone, lies all medicinal art,—behind the other, all the climax and results of the Reanimate of chancel art and the ries of the romantic end Platonic schools of thinking. What nation but our own could let millions lie quiet In ouch luxuries? What provincial city but Manchester would ham deidmd,or could have got together, or would have wished for such a sight P It is as muck as to say, 0 bro thers! wo are weary of this spider-spinning, this weaving thin lilacs and blue-striped stuffs for the men of Aahantee— weary of Iron bare and such materialities—weary of ever. revolving wheels, and the jar and buss of many-tiered lac tation Give in Plow moults of a life steel beaten to Ingres —ivory fretted thin as a dragon-ora wing —china feed and white as the lily's bell—and, above all, pictures, those magic results of oil, and earth, and canvas—the grapple of Rubies, the cathedral twilight of Titian, the gentieboad of Vandyke, the saintliness of Camggio, the Modems of Guido. The men of Manchester wished, end 101 the Exhi bition For beauty, this third Exhibition cannot be compared with that of the Perk or that on the Bill ; it him not the great trees of the one, or the hanging flowers and 'wielding (rag nom of the other. It it not so crystalline and luminous, nor so transparent, nor is it such a Deendaniel of glees, as either. It is not musical with fountains, nor does it echo with the notes of birds. It is not an Indian hamar or a glass Louvre. Architectural art is scarcely visible, while at Bydenham it is the chief feature: Greek art is only mm hart reflected through the minds of Gib Kin and llacdowell— at Peng° Park it rules the eye, and turns the medieval into splay religious eccentricities. Ties three tubes, with the rod and white brick front, and the fist tillid•like wings, are seneible and pleasing, but not astonishing , the greet hall, with its long *Lip of skylight over head, and the neat transept and the two aide galleries, do not lead the eye up, but drive it down on the three lines of statues that hem you in with beauty on either hind. The ' beets on the side walls, thiamin of the &Wages and Bernal *illations, the water-colour and engraving galleries, all led up well to the great organ gallery at the west and. The bluish grey colouring is clear and simple. The right Lad gallery is devoted to modem pictures, beginning with llogarth and going down—or rather up, as moat think— to leuedseer, Ward, and other living worthies. The left hand gallery is devoted to the Old Mar less, beginning " with the beginning ,' as Pan . . lagtruel wished the story told. Down the right and left side walks of the groat middle hall come the Historical Portrait Gallery, beginning with Richard the Second and coming down to our own timer This is Mr. Peter Cunningham's province, while Mr. Scharf putt the old masters into order, and Kr. Egg draws up the moderns in teak end Mao' nearly chrenologically es may be. The centre of the gnat hall is devoted to came of metal work and ivories, chins, armour, ; before these come the statuary, and here, too, is the Oriental court that Dr. Boyle marshals, leaving Mr. Waring to the Besieges end Bernal collections, that are here too. Bronze vases, old chore and furniture are heaped about the gale omen of smaller works and curiosities, and the generate bold the photo graphs, engravings, end water-colours. Thus under one roof we me a complete epitome of art ; we have the wayside block of marble, overgrown once with wild laurel, that some wandering Diedalus first toilsomely chipped into a fire-side god—the rude picture that the Italian first called a mint and gilt end crowned—the iron shell of armour that by degrees grew a trophy of the engraver's art—the beautiful bung earth that the Chinese Ent shaped and hardened—the In dian's pennyworth of ivory that an Italian's lifetime turned into a casket worth its weight in jewels—the traiwiforming, in fact, of a hue thing, whether canvas, wood, steel, or day, into • glorified and more spiritual creation. NORTUERN OCEANIC CURRENTS.—It may be remembered that Prince Napoleon during his voyage in the Northern Sees in 1856, wishing to waist in acquiring in formation relative to the currents which bring into the bays of the north a large quantity of timber, the origin of which is unknown, threw overhand from the Reine Horton's at dif ferent points of his voyage a number of small boxes in deal, each containing a bottle sealed, in which was placed a note Indicating the place from which it come. One of these notes ban lost been tra nsmitted to the Academy of Sciences. It _ . _ we thrown from the Reins Hortense on the 10th of July, 1656, in 69 deg. 30 min. N. W. and 13 deg. W. lon.

The present Exhibition is quite equal to, if it does not in some respects slums, its predecessors. If there are no great pictures in the highest accep tation of the term, there arc at the same time but few bad ones. In most of the artists whose produc tions we have seen in previous Exhibitions we can discern not only the wish to shake off conventionality, and aim at originality of some kind, but an evi dent power to do so; and for persons who like ourselves have visited these rooms for years_past; the thane is both apparent and gratifying. Far math of this, we believe, we have to thank the at our tins@ much abused scho ol of pre-Raphaelites : not that us pin our faith to all the rules that it may please that school to lay down ; but few will deny that it is mainly owing to the penevering efforts of its fol lowers that Nature, in all her exquisite detail, is be coming matter for a careful and reverent study with oar artists. We beg such of our readers as may doubt this to make a tour of the rooms, and after a Beaching examination of the pictures they contain —whether by known or unknown artists—to say if there is not among the many a_pereeptible move ment in advance even of the last Exhibition. It is bas IMP tail soma well-known names hema amsse the list d exhibitors—Sir Charles Pastlass, Webster, awl Ward from amen the Academicians, and oat at this Academy nay many others, Mr. Holman Hat amag the misir. To the superior attraction that Mrasebeator has eared to many of our artists this absence is to be attributed. Nevertheless, in spite of we hays an exhibition of contemporary English art which this country may regard with pride as not only full of great promise but of a most creditable performance. As it is our intention, however, to give several notices of the pictures now exhibiting wisainst content ourselves at present by indicating a brie the more prominent, not only for the talent kihplay, but from , the reputation already Re wind hy the artist. We therefore propose making di=survey, as a mere preliminary to a more criticism. We begin with • picture in itself a gem, and one that scarcely needed the name of Mulready to be attached to it to command immediate public atten tion. " The Young Brother" is a picture, as we learn from the catalogue, " painted for the gallery of tan:sented to the nation by the late Hobert m , Esq., in pursuance of his will ;" and there for*, is bil=n a measure our own property, it has a doll chin precedence of notice. It is • &wan *tare—indeed, as charming a picture as immtabor to bare seen even from Mr. Mul mats -dallightful pas& It represents a girl, or tales woman, Arse back is turned towards as eisississ a Oak who, loaning over her shindig, b amtigdm man a good-natured caindied:b.

It is a rally piste% with so sessoary detail omitted, vet aloft obtraird said siding overdrawn. The goal& reprenisimid are dm* villagers, and not aassyht biotin with impel ible skins and bright petticoats. It is a picture to make the spectator's heart glad, and one that the nation may be proud of possessing. The next Academician upon our list who has dis tinguished himself most successfully this year is Mr. Dyce. Ins picture, both in colour and drawing, is a chef crceucre, and illustrates beyond any words that we can use the sapid progress that the new school is making. The subject Mr. Dyco has selected is "the young Titian pre paring to make his first essay in colouring," by drawing the Madonna which he coloured with the juice of flowers. This is a wonderful picture, exhi biting power of the highest description. The face of the boy is excellent in expression. The clear, stead fast eyes, the resolute mouth, with the firm, close lip, the easy attitude of the figure, are all alike ad mirable, while the Madonna itself is most skilfully painted; and every detail of the picture—whether shaking leaves or waving gram, delicately RNA ' flowers or rugged tree bark—is carefully finished. It is a picture that you gaze at, examine, and pm, to return to gaze at and re-examine, and raa leave it, to return and return again. Not so with Mr. Maclise's " Peter the Great in the Dockyard of Deptford," which is exaggerated in drawl —in many instances false in colour, and decidedly unpleasant in the general effect. Almost all the faces will be recognised by those who aro familiar with Mr. Macliae's pictures. Then am the name eyes, the same hair, the came 11th painting, the same exaggeration of limb ; sza though the painting of detail in this picture is care ful toe degree, it is both hard and cold. It is na ture without a soul. The Czar himself is a failure. Ile is more like a young Orlando than the eccentric young bear of Muscovy. The figure of Wil liam lIL, is better, but hard and wanting in expres- sion. And the women standing behind the Czar are of that large-eyed, red-lipped, stereotyped class with which Mr. Maclise and his imitators have ren dered us so painfully familiar. Some of the figures are well painted. Thu matzo group of the dwarf, the black, and the monkey, relieve the composition mightily ; bat the gsnsrs effect is harsh and strained, all as gogissamm attls tudinising, and there is a want of good harmany in the picture. Mr. Stanfield has come out well this year, though he will have much to do to surpass, even if he reaches, the mark he gained in the last Exhibition by his superb picture of the Abandoned," in which we learnt how mach of true pathos may be ex pressed through an inanimate object.

Mr.ltobson in Daddyllardarre continues to be the great attraction at the Olympic Theatre.. Mr. Flexmore takes a benefit at the Royal Surrey Theatre next Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. Leigh Murray are about to make a tour through tho province.. Mrs. Eliza Lee expired on Saturday last, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Leigh ?Caney. Thedecemed lady (says the Era) was the relict of Henry Lee, Esq., author of the character of Caleb Quotern (introduced surreptitiously by G. Colman the younger in the farce of The Resits° ; or, The Wogs of Whams), and also the literary parent of Echoisur.," " Gay', Chair," and many other poetical works. Mr. Honey Lee was for several years the manager of the Theatres Royal, Taunton, Wells, Bridgewater, Barnstaple, Ice., and the intimate mad attached friend of Edmund Kean. Mrs. Lee woe considered a very excellent soubrette (playing repeatedly with Mrs. Jordan, lneledon, &c.), and afterwards obtained much credit fur her personation' in the line of cha racters known as "old women," her last part being Mrs. Nickleby. Mrs. Loa had for many years retired from the stage, and leaves four daughters to lament her death. A correspondent addressee to us the following complaint : A few days mince, at the Auction Mart, Mr. Rubins disposed of a 600/. renter's there in Drury-lens Theatre, paying en annual dividend, with • marketable free admission, trans ferable yearly, which produced 461. fie., and fifteen 1001. proprietary shares, with • flee life admission, produced 341. 3e. 6d.; so that theatrical property which originally cost 2,0001. sold in the public market for 801. 9s. 6d., bring but • fraction over 4 per oent. of the original est. This great depreciation in value may in part be attributed to some circumstances attending the property, for it seems to be its fate, whenever it has become valuable and paying, arrays to have some obstacle thrown in the way on the part of the committee, or committees we should say, for, with a rental of only 4,0001., there are flee sub-committee., then a general committee then • secretary, then • property mu ter, then an architect, then a party to take charge of the music—all these to have the management of the theatre. When Mr. Macready was bases be was obliged to give up the theatre through the caprice of those concerned ; then Mr. Bunn, then Mr. (lye, and latterly, through some differ ence of the renters and Mr. Gyro, the proprietors, renters, and public have been deprived of a eplendid treat in Italian opera. We have had wild beagle on the stage, and her Majesty has attended the feeding. Wo have had every kind of entertainment, and • first-rate American company have , offered to take the theatre for equeatriea performances. They have been several time at the theatre, sod done no harm. The thetas islet for promenade concerts by the sanction of the committee, and horsemanship is considered not to be on art and amusement teethe :public. Great, very great dissatiefection is expressed by the renews at these de lays in letting. By the theatre being open they receive 61. extra over 200 nights; indeed it will be found that they receive 6001. for extra rent over and above 4,0001. paid by Mr. Smith, and would not have received one penny bat for them extra nights; yet the committee, who are merely trustees for flak body of gentlemen, do all they can to prevent money coming into the house, and keep the theatre closed, which is doing more damage than all the promenade con certs and horsemanship possibly could do. The proprietors, who have the power, moat alter this, or else they will And . . no Ivaco who will undertake to pay 4,0001. a year foe fin theatre which is subject to the control of persona whom interests seem opposed to the bunk fide owners of the pro perly. . . . It w•as intended to erect in Vienna a monument to Moran, the expenre of which would hare amounted to at leant fifty or sixty thousand Burins; but, notwithstanding all the efforts of the committee, and their sppeals to musicians and dikttateti in Germany, the mama collected did not gaits reach two hundred Burins. The censequence is, that instead of a magnificent mausoleum worthy of the great tem po..r and the imperial city in which he breathed his lost, a simple memorial stone will be placed in the St. Manor's churchyard, which, according to oral tradition, is probably, and only probably, the lest rooting-place of the beloved Ger man mtudtian. Violin players in Vienna are in the habit now of wing liquid eolophonium, instead of the solid resin, which is in vogue in the other pert, of the world. The liquid mix tale is applied with a camel's hair brush, is said to led during one hundred hours' playing, and neither to injure the strings of the instrument nor the bow. The strings, it affirmed, too, give out a clearer tone than when the solid resin is used. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA CONCERTS AT TUE CRYSTAL PALACE. Theme concerts, which were set on foot last year by the manager of the Royal Italian Opera, have been re sumed this season ; and the ant took place yesterday. They originated in the destruction of Covent Garden Theatre. When Mr. Dye suddenly found that magnificent temple of the Moses reduced to ashes, and was compelled to take refuge within the narrow walls of the Lyceum, he soon dis covered the inadequacy of that small domicile to meet the expenditure of his immense establishment, and conceived the happy ides of adding to his resources by a Berke of concerts at the Crystal Palace. The plan was entirely eurveirful ; and he had the satisfaction of starting a course of entertainments which proved so attractive that they amply made up the deficit in his exchequer. The mine nectesity still continuer, and is mot in the same man ner ; though it seems probable that, even bad the necessity ceased, the concerts would nevertheleas have been carried on ; for they have been found so welcome an addition to the ptomains of the London summer season, that it would be a pity to let them drop ; and therdotte they will in all proba bility become permanent. The mouse.s of the Royal Italian Opera—its host of great vocal performers, its unrivalled orchestra and powerful chorus—are quite sufficient to furnish inexhaustible materials for great musical entertainmentr, without any occasion for resorting to extraneous aid. The following programme of yesterday's concert will show that this is the case, sod will at the same time give an idea of the plan of than per formances. lull I.

No objection ran be made to any of these pieces, Wm se parately ; but the selection, taken collectively, Is by no means invulnerable to criticism. In the that place, It sadly lacks variety. The second part—save the overture, and the short finale which served to sing the company out—is all made up of airs and duetts by Donizotti. Seoondly, too much of the vocal music consisted of pieces from two or three operas which at present are given every opera night at the Lyceum. Thirdly, Merl* wad absent. And lastly, them was by far too little instrumental music; instead of a couple of overtures, the powers of the superb orchestra ought to have been employed in • sym phony of one of the great masters.

A Perle correspondent of Le Nord ear : The sermons preached during Legit by the Reverend Father Ventura, in the chapel of the Tuileries, before the Emperor and Empress, have obtained great celebrity, and are muck sp,ken of, though the text hem not yet appeared, to make us aequainted with what was really delivered by the celebrated preacher. Whilst awaiting the publication, which is being prepared by Father Ventura, the following is an analysis of the sermon he preached on Easter day, only a few days eubeequent to the sentence pronounced by the Council of State against the Bishop of Moulins. I think this analyst will be no unacceptable novelty to your readers. " Crneifirus in laminae, chit in virtues " One of the moot touching prophecies of David is that wherein he announces that the flesh of the Mesaish shall live and flowiek again. in fact, death and corruption could not detain that flesh, united substantially with the Word, which b the life and the vivifying principle. We have been witmame in our days of a tact analogue to this grand and divine event, allowing for the dittanos, however, between the finite awl the infinite—l mean the fall and restoration of the empire. " As Jesus Christ was condemned by the putties of Pagan Rum so European diplomacy had eurrounded the empire with its pnetorisna and sealed its ruin with an official and. They bed even decreed that not one of the members of the imperial family should ever be able to amend any European throne. They had forgotten only one thing, which was to alas to the act the signature of God. And lo! the empire rims anew at a moment when nothing permitted touch en event to be foreseen, when any one predicting it might have pursed fora madman. " I. The cause of the Itesteration of the Empire, "The French nation is the eldest daughter of the church, not because its menders were the trot to profess Chrie eince Italy was Chrietion before France, but beelines France was the first to constitute herself as a Christian na tion, in her laws, in her political esietence. She has also been the soldier of the church. Therefore the great and holy ponti ff Zacharias gave to Charlemagne the Latin empire, the empire of the west the Christian empire. Through the fault of that menorah's succeseors, the suc cessors of hint the greatest of Christian princes, the empire pasted from Frame to Germany. But ma St. Thomas teaches, quad per neridens prosolitur to durable. Tho empire is essentiall y French. At se epoch when the German empire had long rime crated to be, when there was, as has been so well said, neither empire, sat mint, nor Homan, Pius VII., the worthy me . error el flahit Zacharisa, restores the empire to France. It was not merely that he canoed the sacred unction to flow upon men, he raised up an empire from its ruins. Diplo macy, joining in chorus with heresy and incredulity, laughed at the inefficacy of this unction. But God, in 113/4 turn, made a laughing-stock of it. Qui habitat in relic irridtbit cos, et 140111611 n suhrannobit roe. Tho empire is reborn. But as Jesus Christ rises again from the tomb with a better life, se the second empire is more beautiful then the first. The tint was the terror of nations, the second is their hope. The first reigned by the reason of force, the emend reigns by tiro force of reason; the first made war only in order that war might better be reeouitneneed ; that empire was war. The second metes war solely to oitain peace; the se cond:dire in peeve. Proud Albion, who had laboured so y to overthrow the first, hue become the mint faith ful ally of the second. Tho mercantile genial. of England her glowed with admiration for the warlike gC1131.18 of Franco displayed in the Crimea. We have seen the great power of the north come to take shelter under the shadow of F race in the congress of Pais, and (ensign to her the care of her in terests and dignity. The French may well bo proud to now their country again placed at the head of the world. " 11. The condition of the Empire's duration. " Chrirtus resurgeor jam non moritur ; agora illi ultra non dominabaur. The Christian empire shall not perish so long es it shall continue what it is. " The condition of its duration is that it Audi preserve the elnialian sap infused into it by the holy pontiff Zacharias. The mission of the present empire is to rtmove with prudence, and by degrees, but with firmnesa the patron o.'..cmts which are in the bosom of society, and to cantle Jesus Christ to reign throughout the world. " The eapitularies of Charlemagne always bear theme words Domino natty Jew Christ°. It was less the reign of a man than the reign of Jeans Christ. "It appertaine to 120 one to give advice to the Emperor. His disposition is so religiose, his prudence so exalted, that we may answer for the future from the put. We are as sured that he will not quit the path in which he has hitherto walked. Not only has he restored France to her reek among nations, Teetered to Europe her equilibrium, and boo preserved the lesser nationalities, but in the religious sphere especially, he as fulfilled his mission. He has delivered two-thirds of the French youth from the obliga tion of passing under the yoke of a pagan instruction; he has just enacted a law the full effect of which few penman yet comprehend, and which will have the happiut influence over families (the bifurcation of studies). Whilst the Empress fulfils the mission confided to her by God, in causing practical catholicism to reign at the court, the Emperor will perform his proper mission by establishing this mime catholicism in the lure Thus his crown will descend and touch the brow of his eon, that child of Unwed nese. The Emperor will be the happiest of husbands and the most fortunate of fathers, so he is the moot powerful of monarchs. and his glory in the present time will be the prelude of an eternal glory."
