The exhibition does not contain more than half-a-closen pictures which could be said to evince the eleratedgor im proved taste in the general public which it is one great object of the society to cultivate. The pictures are most of them' of the very common order, pleasing to the generality of ireephs, and not offensive to the critical eye. Price bee rieuresrffy regulated the order of merit very nue, as there are only three prizes —one of 2001., and two of 1001. each—which couhl command the best works of artists of repute, the rest being confined I. four of 301., and prises under that sum, but not lower than 101. Thus, there is a sort of iatesmsdiab nue of priors from 1001.10 501., which is not represented ; there is, we we stern*, some reason for this, but at first sight it would ap pear that a scale of prizes regularly diminishing would en .eihke ths society to purchase works of • higher order, though of eoune fewer of them, and evidently with 5 generally diffused benefit to the artist community. We observe in this selection that the prixeholders have in no iastanoe been ioduced to go far beyond the amount of their lock, iihroings in extending their little bit of patronage. There IN some few instances in which the prizeholder has added 31., or even 101., out of his own pocket, and in one cur 204 ; bat none, as we have sew in former years, in which any considerable amount has been added for the sake of obtaining a picture. At the seats time there are several Instance; to be noticed ia which the amount of the prize naiads the sum asked by the artist, from which we conclude that the exua s grrinass are offered u • bonus to the painter. On the whole, it nitsit be owned that t►e society does fulfil one of its expreessi Intentions by encouraging professors with the male of their works; notably in the cue of Lady Chantrey, who was a holder of the 1001, prize, selecting the picture of "Rotterdam," by Mr. G. Jones, R. A., from the Academy Exhibition. The council of the society have • difficult pert to play; they could not very well assume the position of a committee of taste an select for their prizebolders—though this has, we believe, been talked of as one of the plans for improving the public taste—but they do exercise considerable influence ie another direction, by giving commissions to artists for the engravings, oath:me, medallions, statuettes, tic., given regularly every year to subscribers. The competition of last year for • prize of 100 k, awarded to the best set of outlines illustrating Tennyson's "Idylls," was aa excellent thought, and it drew out several good examples of outline drawing from artists almost wholly unknown, and the price was gaieed by Signor Prieto, an Italian artist, long resident in Edinburgh. These outlines, the originals of which us exhibited with the pictures, are now printed and ready to be given to each subscriber. They ham bees axoeediogly well lithographed by the artist's own hand, and cannot fail to be acceptable to the subscribers. We noticed also in the room • very clever medallion chased in metal by Mr. B. Jefferson, the subject being from Milton's " Paradise Lost," " The fall of the rebel sagely." A certain number of copies of this are to be given as prizes in the next distribution. A statuette in breeze of Mr. Foley. fine figure " Caractacus" in the International Exhi bition is also exhibited as another of the future prises. But the first great prize of the current year is to be " The Dancing Girl Reposing," • life size marble statue by Mr. W. C. Marshall, ILA., which is at present in the International Exhibition. &aides these there are included in the prizes tuxes, in com memoration of the late EnnoeConsort, designed by J. Leigh ton, F.S. A. ; statuettes in porcelain from the pretty group, "Go to Sleep," by Mr. Durham, in the Royal Academy this year ; tarreliefe, is fields ivory, of eubjeoki from Milton, b j Wyon and R. Jefferson ; and books of etchhigsby E Rad cliffe, after David Cox, all expressly produced for the Art Union. Therefore we are disposed to regard the efforta of the society in promoting the cultivation of the arts in various directions as of mom real importance to the interests of art than the distribution of a certain sum per annum in the purchase of so many indifferent pictures. The following are some of the principal prizes : "Bedtime," by A. Hughes, 2001. prize, selected from the Royal Academy by Mr. J. Summers. "Rotterdam," by G. Jones, R.A., lOW. prize, selected by Lady Chantrey from the Royal Aca demy. " Salvator Rosa in the Abruzzi," by C. Vacher, 1001, prize, selected by Mr. J. Woodman from the New Water Colour Society Exhibition. " A Stitch in Time," by J. Mayne'," 504 prise, selected by Mr. J. C. Smith, from the British Artists' Exhibition. " Morning on the Usk," by H. J. Boddingtoo, 501. prise, selected by Mr. W. Boos from the British Artists' Exhibition. Sixty-nine prime were chosen from the Exhibition of Oil Pictures, twenty-nine from the Water Colour Exhibitions, and two boats in marble. DRAMA. ADELPIII. The drama of The Dead heart, which had proved very attractive, baviog been withdrawn, last night Miss Avonia Jones made her first appearance at this theatre in her character of Medea.

Another novelty at this theatre was the perforates°, of Mr. Tom Taylor's capital little comedy, Our Clerks, ia which the part originally so well played by Mr. Keeley was last night excellently sustained by Mr. Toole; while Mies Louise Keeley played her mother's character with genuine humour and spirit.

On Saturday a gentlemen connected with the National Lifeboat Instion wilted this Ninths, whiali ie in commotion with the society. He found everything in excellent order—the lifeboat mounted on her transporters ready for iustantaneou service, either day or night. Neatly the whole of the equipments of the heat are kept in her, and are of the most perfect character, no expense eirklently having been spared in obtaining the very best of every fathom el rope and at every other article bets to the lifeboat. How often it happens, in the lifeboat serries, that, after incurring great risk, perhaps during a midnight storm, to fetch a wreck, the whole success, under the blessing of God, of the lifeboat, in rescuing the half.drowned sailors, will depend oo the strength of the rope which the lifeboat has thrown to them I The Exmouth lifeboat is, u is geoenilly known, the gift of the Lady Rolle to the National Institution. Under the joint superintendence of Captain Await., R.N., and Mr. William Hawkins, the chief officer of Coast Guard, the station is maintained in gestate of thorough efdsieeey, and fully maintains the graphic description given some two years ago of It in Dickens " All the Year Round." Agate, attached to this station is • beautiful barometer (Negretti and Zanibra'e sake) supplied by the institute= for the use of the seafaring population of the town. Its movements are very closely watched by them. These are registered daily on • Meet, DO that any one eon at once read off the instrument. The barometer was, like all three made for the institution, tested thoroughly at the Greenwich under the superintendence of Mr. Weieher, ( 1 3,1 : 1 11 4 .7.7 1 b70re it was sent to this place. A few remarks oo the reading of this standard barometer during the put mouth may not be uninteresting to the general reader. We observed that the state of the in strument on the let ult. was 30.11.

The lowest point touched by the barometeriltt A o'clock, a.m., at this station, during the month, was 29.83: this was ea the 12th. On the north west of England its variations ware so doubt much greater, for the lifeboats of the society at Fleetwood and Peomon were, during heavy gales of wind OD the 26th tilt., the means of saving two vie w& and their crews from destruotice. At midnight, ou the 6th instant, it blew at Exmouth a gale of wind front 8.8. W., the barometer standing 29.78.

"It was very annoying to find that the people of Tette had some sleet the path followed by Dr. Kirk along the Shire to that village, and set up an extended system of slave hunting in the very country to which the mission had come.

A short time before we caught the first slave-hunting party, they shot two women on protean, that they were trying to loose the thaw with which they were bound; and I suspect the Ajawa, seeing us a very small body, and elated with continual swam, thought it would be • clever thing to make an example of us. We had 'amusing= with us barely sufficient to drive them off, their attack was so unexpected. " Liming the miasionaries at a spot which to the eye looks as if 15 miles south of Mount Zomba, and which will serve till a better locality is selected, we returned to the ship, and in the beginning of August carried • boat pest Mu/chaos% Cataracts.

After this we were lees venturesome, and lis tened to the utterances of our seaman, Jobs Neil, as if he had been an oracle.

" The people were civil—so dues were levied or floes do. mended ; but slaving is the only trade. Colonel Rigby, our Consul at Zanzibar, says, in a letter to Sir George Grey, that 19,000 slaves pen through the Custom-house there anciall all, or nearly all, from Hyena or Shire ; and he adds, ' lf it should seer be possible to plan a steamer on Lake Nyasa it will cut off the chief supply of slaves to the east east.'

These are my hopes, and it ought to be borne in mind that my expedition should be dated only from the possession of the Pioneer.
