GERMANY. dna voil_i_ PRUSSIA. 136RLIN, Dimon 13. A telegraphic despatch, of the 10th inst., from St. Petersbarg, announces the arrival of Prince Charles of Preemie, who was sent by our court to 000gratulate the DOW (bar on his accession to the throne. He was l e scompanied the Grand Duchess Alexandrine of Mocklnbar hwerin. The Emperor Alexander and his bro ther, the Grand Duke Constantine, both dressed in the Prussian uniform, received their re latives on the platform of the railroad terminus. When the King of Prussia received the telegraphic news of the death of his brother-in-law, he imme diately sent back, as an answer, the following words from the Apocalypse, addressed to his sitter, the Empress: "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord." This is probably the fleet time that the tele graph has been used—in Russia, at least—to convey scraps of Scripture. Accounts from Stockholm state that a naval eon scription has been ordered for the whole of the Aland Islands. Ever since theme islands were ceded by Sweden to Russia the inhabitants have been exempted from personal servitude, which, at their request, was converted into an annual mosey payment. This hitherto napeeeedented measure may thereto(' be considered another practical proof of the scarcity of men in the Russian army and navy. CYIOM TSB . AUSTRIA. VIZNNA, Kasai 19.

L Shim the data of my lent letter (Des. 18) some improvement has taken pins' here in the state of the markets for goods of -English, and foreign manufac ture, the imports having ban less heavy than for some time past.

The Doukas, by Chrisup which I have already alluded, has been mach talked about. It appears that the author has been at work upon this figure for four years, and that he has moooimed a favourite model throughout this period. The head is buried in the hands. Artiste chattering near the entrance declared that this std. cede was chosen because the face of the model was by no means pleasing. The gossip about the pictures, as they reached their destination, was not uninteresting. I heard that Couverchel has contributed a Council of War at Varna, containing portraits of the members; and that a third representation of the Battle of the Alma had been sent by Eugene Lami ; and even a fourth by a Wallachian artist named Annan, whose Battle of Oltenitra, exhibited a little while ago in a print shop on the Boulevards, attracted crowds of people. This picture was presented to the Sultan. Then there was a little pleasantry , afloat about two sets of the Seven Cardinal Sine, all represented by female figures. One of these este is by Dubufe, men., and the other by Duvets& Debuts may be remembered as an artist who has enjoyed considerable reputation es a portrait painter. He has sent to the Exhibition, in addition to hie Sine, portraits of his two children. I may remark, by the way, that there is a Debate, jun., who enjoys also • high reputation.

An old man holds the rosy boy aloft; wanes laugh shoat him ; and elderly gentlemen, who, 'o smium to modern principles, "should know better,* bid for Lint. There is, at all events, a pleassat sada. city in the idea. To this list it might be Wises to add the formidable array el Napoieees. There was an old model goesipping about in the crowd who had been engaged for a long time pest sitting for the hero of Austerlitz, and was probably very proud of it. He seemed to have left a picture fee which he had sat at one of the doors for one of his masters. The classic head of the Emperor will always ensure for his memory an immortality in art ; and his great history is in every from Toulon to St. Helena—sesentially To them notes, taken en the spot, I may add that the jams have worded ten days' grace to sustain painters, but especially to decorated painters, whose ribbon gives them • right to a place upon the Exhibition walls. It may be also interesting to state that the Illustration proprietors are already busy with their first exhibition number, which is to con tain. among other drawings, representations from Gerame's " Apotheosis of Augustus,"Hamoa s pio tare, and Jalabert's contribution. The story of Cie rdroe's " Apotheosis" should be told ; it le creditable to the maim is which it was enacted. Gordoie had attracted considerable attention as a young man, and this attention was soon shared by the govern meat. M. de Nieuwelterke, the Director of Fine Arts. forthwith sent foe him, asked ts me his sketches of subjects, selected the use he preferred to treat, and gave him a commission to paint it. He is now about 30 years of age; and he receives 25,000 frame from hie government for the Apotheosis.* This is real encouragement of art, in spits of the professors is mum, who conspire to crash rising talent.
