This exhibition, which generally represents the artistic mid-ssason, was opened to private view on Saturday last. It is a decided advance on those of former years; whilst veteran members appear with unusual force, the wean= of fresh bands gives a healthy vitality to this hitherto languishing body ; ' and distressing accidents of form and colour are more than usually limited. Bat a rapid glance suffices to show that whilst there is mach to captivate the eye and the fancy,there are so very great efforts of intellect. Whilst themind is saddened by multiform specimens of laborious mirth, it in vain seeks relaxation in the eternal broad grin of chubby children, in the fan tastic dance of Miltonic nymphs, or in the stereotyped smirk of miniatures. Tragedy may have been overdone in the last cen tury, bat that is no reason for running to the other extreme in this; it is high time to spring a new mine of subjects, to abandon the village politician (who has been reeding the same newspaper since Wilkie's time), splotchy gipsiee, Tuscan or Picardian peasantry, and last, not lesqt, " watering cattle," with which all England has been inundated. We have had high tragedy and low comedy, and may hope for quiet solemnity and the drama. Leaving disquisition, let us notice the works which have given rise thereto, and foremost in rank as well as number may be placed those of H. M. Anthony. They are 17 in number, as we fled cm reference to the catalogue, and though they orison es prolific a brush as the pen of Alexander Dunham, their striking originality proclaims its accomplishment by more legitimate means. It is difficult,among each a number to select for preference, bat the largest and not ambitions is perhaps that least to our liking. ti The Windings of the Wye, and its junction with the Severn as seen from Windclyfe" is a picture of that painfully hybrid nature which more properly belongs to those artistic charts, which are the wonder and admiration of visitors to the Vatican. The strength and depth, as well as the prismatic hum of this artist's colouring, are more forcible in his smaller works ; his little pieces of feminine beauty, his ivy-bound village churches and mosey yards, are brilliant transcripts of nature's harmony and texture. Mr. J. F. Herring, though in another line, is also well known for his dexterity of imitation—" goats and pigeons," "pigs and horde," come equally freely to his hand ; as far as handling the outward appear ance of animal form, nothing can excel the " Interior of a Stable ;" but one can only regret that so much talent should be wasted on the down of a white horse, or an elaborate portraiture of a goose in draw. " The Stirrup Cap," by the same hand, is a laudable attempt at novelty of motive ; a steel-clad cavalier is quaffing a draught of home-brewed, which is presented to him by • buxom damsel ; the same may be said of his " Poulterer and dealer in game," which, as the title sufficiently indicates, is a bargaining sone. The head of the old dealer, relieved as it is against the dark ground, is very effective. Mr. Prentis below to the school of moralists—to that race of spiritual Caudledom which seems to have well nigh vanished. " The Folly of Extravagance," though rather tame in execution, tells a wholesome tale; the bankrupt lord, his unfortunate spouse, and their ever-faithful servants are &hardening the old inaesicm, whilst their young son considerately points out the household furniture drown in lots, amidst which is a sow of the turf. Amoopt the landscapes will be found many " se cluded iooke,• as familiar to London exhibition visitor', as Pup-mart or any other newt of fashion. Avoiding as much as pomible podia's looking front iersman sad salmoa-trApe, a brilliant sky attracts nodal ;it repoments name recollections—the New Castom-boues," by J. B. Pyam So mach stress has boss laid by the anther a 7 " Modsra Painter." (a work whir► hes made a revolution la landscape art), on the artistic Immodest of the Mend% that we can no longer complain of this portion of *tun making. Is pleasant contrast though scarcely emaseted with this miffed atmosphere, are the mellow white architeo tarsi effects by which the works of this pis■ter are easily distiegodiable. There is a neat handling in " Wreck Askew," and the agues are touched with usual atilt "The French lishing-bcats coming in," by J. Wilson, has a line brassy offset, and as a sanaline gleamed en the maws the NS 'squired an addi tional sparkle, the shingly beach and huts came out brilliantly; only good pictures can bear this ordeal; other little bets are impressed with the lame sipatare. There are two artists whose productions we could select by their style and singularity from any collec tion ; these are, Mr. Woolmer and Mr. Zeitter ; they areboth painters whose undoubted talents are rendere d nugatory by mannerism. By mitigating the green of the one and the mugginess of the other, a fair estimate of their relative merits might be arrived at.

The dealiap include : British North American (601. paid), at 411; 'And= and County, at 191 to / ; London Joint Stock (101. paid), at 17; Provincial of Ireland (251. paid), at 42 ; &ath Australia ( 251. paid), at 18 1 to 19 ; Union of Australia (251. paid), at 30; Union of London (101. paid), at 111,. Dock shun have been dealt in u under : Eut and West India, at 141; East Country, at 21; London, at 1191 to 119; Bt. Katherine, at 80 to The amount of the precious metals exported from London during the week ending the 21st inst., was 70,975 ounces of silver and 40 oz. of gold, distributed as under: Gold coin, to Mogadore, 40 oz. Silver ' coin, to Rotterdam 12,000 oz.; to Mogadore, 4,975 on. Silver bars, to Rotterdam, 54,000 oz. The dealings in the share market this week have been of an unusually limited character, few operators making their appestranos either as purchasers or sel lers. The tone generally has been sound, and prices in a few instances have improved; but in the majority of cases no amelioration is perceptible in this respect. Among the more prominent causes of the increase of firmness which has followed last week's depression, may be noticed a prevailing scarcity of stock, and a suspen sion of both bona fide and speculative sales, whilst addi tional steadiness was afterwards imparted by the im proved nature of the traffic returns for several of the leading lines, more especially for the London and North Western, South Western, Midland, and Dover Companies. North Stafford. have steadily improved during the week, owing to a belief being generally entertained that a good arrangement will be come to with the London and North Western Company. Lancashire and Yorkshire have again experienced a heavy decline in value, and continue much out of favour. For Cale donians the market has been weak, and to-day a further considerable decline ensued, transactions being effected as low as 91. A comparison of this day's closing quotations with those of last Saturday gives the following results :—Louden and North Western stock and North Stafforde, 11. higher ; Brightoss, 15e. higher; Leeds and Bradforda, 10.. higher ; UM amain and Yorkshire stook, 4L lower ; Caledonians, Lancaster and Carlisle., and London and South Westerns, IL lower; South Eastern., 10s. lower, &c.

EASTERN UNION. The hislfjvarly meeting of this company took place, a Frlda ,y by adjournment, a t R a dl ey ' s H ote l , Bridge street, Blaarriars, J C. COBBOLD, E 9., is the their. The report of the direetcee stated— " The teethe amounts ke the hallsyeer ending 31st Decem ber, 1849, Warm the aenraaese given to the sharehold e rs is September lest, that the net revenue would appear in • meth more favourable point of view, when the retrench ments that has been determined upon, and which came into operation after the 30th of lune, wen shown in the amounts —that assaranee had been realised by an increased net profit in sin months, from 9,9151. 7e. 4d., 30th of lone last, to 21,4221. 16s. 41d., 31st of December, on working the still unfinished lies in 1849, a charge of 1,0001. for renewal of locomotive and carrying stock, end 6601. for your collateral liability in two navigation haying been previoasly made in this half-year. Brea before the last connecting sixteen miles of the main line could be earning any traffic at all, an increase from en annual rats of net revenue of We then 20,6001. to one at the rate of 43,0001. per annum, matt afford satisfactory proof to the public that the bond and preference share creditors are relieved from all risk upon the securities they held, now that the entire main line is open ; whereby large yet undeveloped sources of traffic in the district, which will materially augment the revenue of the company, are enured to the under taking. The opening into Norwich in December, after so much delay in the ;proems of the works, has beet a source of gratification to your directors, and will, they hope, give seedidenee se yon.—An agreement has been made with the Eastern Counties directors to work in amity with them, so as to avoid competition over their Cam bridge line, and me the interest, of both parties have been consulted in the terms of the agreement, your board hopes that no interruption to • friendly working of the lines will near. The amounts of receipts and expenditure for the six months, from the Ist July to 31st December, have been circulated. They are, as in the last half-year, undergoing final audit by Mr. Hutton, who undert a k es this at the special request, and with the aid of, the ordinary . auditors of the company, them gentlemen not desiring to interfere in the manner of publishing accounts, while a public accountant la yet employed g I:y in th e a ff a i rs of the company, and settling the statements to be produc - d. The only subject of finance which the board intend to introduce to day is for the purpose of raising the remaining 126,0001., and borrowing money under the act 12 and 13 Vie., cap. 92. Your directors candidly express their regret to you that they were induced to offer so high a rate of inter, at in October last as 10 per cent. for the first 125,0001. which were re quired to be raised under that act. The whole sum raised at 10 per cent. will amount to somewhat less than 50,0001. The remainder has been created into a stock—redeemable also, but bearing only 6 per cent. interest; and with that, and the sum now proposed, your board relies upon being able to raise mcney sufficient to liquidate the outstanding demands which the company has yet to meet. The line to Harwich has scarcely progressed at all, and additional time has been applied for to make it. Meantime a suit in Cha t:cry, undertaken by an individual shareholder, has led to an expression of opinion by the Lord Chadcellor as to the com pany's undoubted liability to complete that work. The various powers you have obtained from parliament, detailed in the account of assets and liabilities of the company given by Mr. Hutton, show that you have the means for its com pletion." The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report. veld it was with feelings of great disappointment teat the directors met the shareholders on this occasion, seeing that their anticipations had not been realised. In expressing this disappointment, however, he was only stating a sentiment which had been entertained by the directors of nearly every railway company in the country. Mr. YIELD, one of the auditors, stated that in resigning that office he could bear testimony to the fact that there woo no trickery, jobbing, or dishonesty of any kind in the pre paration of the amounts, although he must admit that during a period of great excitement there had been a lavish expen diture of money. He did net anticipate much good from a government audit, but he recommended the proprietor, to offer an adequate recompense to the per.cn selected to exa mine their accounts. Mr. LECBMERE moved as an amendment that the adop tion of the report be postponed until the appointment of a government audit. The amendment on being put from the chair was negatived by a large majority, and the report was adopted. The ordinary routine business was then gone through, and a motion was made tt at the salary of the two auditors be I fixed at 1001. a year each. Several proprietors expressed their opinions that, consider ing they were receiving no dividends, it would be most im proper to give so large a 'dairy as 1001. per annum to an auditor. An amendment was then proposed that the amount be 50 guineas a year. This amendment was carried, and the original motion was lost. Mr. LECHMERE proposed that the directors be in structed to call upon the railway commissioners to appoint a government auditor. The motion was negatived by a large majority, and the proocedings of the ordinary meeting terminated. A special meeting was then held for the purpose of adopt ing certain revolutions authorising the directo•e to borrow money under the powers granted by act of parliament. The resolutions were agreed to. OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVER- HAMPTON. The adjourned meeting of this company was held at the London Tavern on Friday for the purpose of nomi nating two auditors and four directors, and also for receiv ing the report of the committee of selection, as to the direc tors who should retire, Mr, Rerroun, Wl', took the The SECRETARY haying read the minutes of the last mutieg, the CHAIRMAN called upon the committee to produce their report. This was done. It stated that the committee had selected as those directors who ought to retire, Mr. Matthews, Mr. Beaman, Mr. Badger, and Mr. Ferster, and had named Mr. Walker, Mr. Jeseel, Mr. Tucker, and Mr. Oliviers, u suitable men for the vacancies for directors, and that they had given due notice to the secretary to that effect. The reasons of the Committee of Selection for the removal of Mr. Matthews from the board of direction have been handed to u, and are as follows "As it may occasion sur prise to some of the shareholders that your committee hays requested W. Matthews, Esq to place his seat at your dis poni, they consider it desirable to submit to you considera tions influencing their decision. He participated to the extent of three hundred shares in the allot ment made upon Jan. 21, 1845, the day after the passing of your bill by the House of Common*, the shares being at a large premium occasioned by that decision. He supported and became director in the rival schemes of the Birming ham and Oxford and Birmingham and Dudley Railways,and took shares therein to the enormous amount of 740, the pre miums upon which sharer reached the high price of 101. per share. But in April, 1846, the directors entered into a con tract for 17,500 tons of iron rails with the firm of Moan. Mall= and Rawlineon, of which firm Mr. Matthews was the recognised representative, or partner, or manager. Part of this contract was fulfilled, and during the early part of last year 6,0001. was paid to cancel it. A contract at the same time for the mate quantity of 17,600 was given to Mr. Barker also a director of this company. Mr. Baker vacated his seat at the board upon his tender being accepted, and has ad dressed to your committee • letter, of which the following is a copy, in answer to a circular issued by your committee, addressed to some shareholders qualified for directors.—J. WaLana. Req." " Chillingham Iron Works, Wolverhampton, Feb. 27, 1850.—1 have your letter of 22nd Jan. I was one of the original directors on the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver hampton Railway, but retired from the board when I took a contract for the supply of 17,600 tons of rails That con tract is still unfinished. I have to deliver 13.628 tone. I have written to the secretary to bring the matter before the board, u it not considerable importance, involving a sum of not less than 160,0001. This is inclusive of • balance of about 1,0001. Under these circumstances, lam disqualified from sanding to your polite invidation.—l am, sir, yours faithfully, (slued) Jolts B ." This letter shows that Mr. Matthews 's position with reference to his own contract, if he remained at the board, disqualified him from exercising an unharmed judgment upon this claim. A long diernmeion took pleat, in which Mr. Alderman Thompson, Mr. Cohen, Mr. Sergeant Omelet, and others took part. Mr. MATHEWS defended himself against the charges brought mailed him by the committee of investigation. The CHAIRMAN said that the committee of investiga tion had already fully entered into all the charges that the worthy alderman now again brought forward. He was afraid he had read those charges without having read the reply that the directors had made to them ; if so he had no doubt he would have come to • different opinion. In regard to the iron contracts, it was the one adopted by the Great Western Railway Company, under the advice of Mr. Brunel, being made conditioael oaths cost price of iron, extending over • term of 10 years and a half, and the committee to whom it was referred selected it as the boat tender. As to the allotment of shares to the directors, he booed to say that the premium alluded to did not exist on those shares till loqg after the allotment was made to the directors. Meson.
