LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 20, 1861. FINE ARTS. OF THE QUEEN AND THE ROYAL FAMILY, bat year a series of photographic portraits of the miss now so well known ea earte.de•visite, of the geese, the Prism Consort, and the various members of the Royal Family, were published by Mr. Mayall. For their Publication the Quess of course gave her sanction, and the gracious madesiseelea has been, as might be expected, tacitly recopied by an enormous number of purchasers amass her loviag subjects. Either from this series having bees wriatidactary or the nega tives being no longer available, Mr. Mayall has had per mission to take a new and extended series, which is co the point of publication. We, have had the pleasure to see the first "impressions" of these, and we are happy to say they an a great improvement on the first. We cannot be mis understood; indeed, our very sentiment of loyalty compels • I. say candidly that the first series waa Anything but satifsetari as an specimens of photographic art. Some allowance may he made for unfavourable conditions of locality or atasouplisre which may , have bees beyond the photo graphic's control ; and the sun, like Old Time, is no respecter of parsons. But certain it is, the first series were heavy, black, and cloudy. They had the inevitable defects of photography eseggeratsd, and ',pickily tilose which tell most cruelly upon the face. That some of these were chargeable to the phonographer we must, however, ouspeet, boo the palpably disproportionate eating of background, relatively to the figure, io some instances. Mr. Mayan was one of the first of our photo ',sphere, and this circumstance, together with his very obvious show-cases is Regent-street, hays given him a certain notoriety; but is justice we mesh say that he has not stood very high as an artistic manipu lator, and we were rather surprised at the good fortune which procured his employment at Buckingham Palace. We must in fairness add that some of his recent portraits of public characters have been great advance, and, as we have already, intimated the new mines of Royal portraits may rank favourably among the ,in numerable cartes -de - risite Dow publishing. The only objective we have to make to the present photo graphs is rather artistic than technical. The very conven tional and obtrusive pillar and curtain introduced into nearly every portrait are sot always well disposed, and in a few cases, from being evidently arrested contrary to prin ciples of art, diminish the effectiveness of the principal figure. The great charm of these photograph is that the Royal personages are represented 'without the slightest ostentation, and in' the ordi nary employments and attire of domestic life. The value of the series is also increased by the variety of pose and peeping of the Queen And Prince Cos:wort. There are no Use then five separate portraits of her Majesty. The series also embraces portraits of the Prince of Wales, the Princes Alfred, Arthur, and Leopold, the Primseress Alice, Rakes, Leeks, sad Beatrice, the Crown Prince and Princess of Prussia, wed the Milan ed husband of the Prince. Alice, the Prism Louis of Reese. MUSIC. -41.- MR. MELLON'S PROMENADE CONCERTS. The tint specialty of the present series of concerts took place last evening. when • very large audience was attracted by the announcement et a " Mendelssohn night." The first portion of the programme was entirely devoted to the compositions of this great master, the onwani•g popularity of whose works is this country %Mate alike their permanent value and the soundness of English taste. The concert comoienced with the overture to the Mid stliesser Nip At's Dhow—that marvellous inspiration in which the boy composer (far he was but sixteen when he wrote it) evinced a poetical fancy and romantic imagination worthy of the text which be has illustrated. In nothing have Mendelssolin's facility sad geniality (the almost invariable amompinirsents of high genius) bees more remarkably displayed than is his exquisite music to the Afaintaaster Night's Dream. Recurring, after the tapes al many years, to the work of his boyhood, he amplified his early ideas, and composed the incidental pieces which, with the overture, have now taken rank as the most important illustrations which musical art has ever contributed to the weeks of car gnat poet. The perfencianee of last night was in every way vanity of the messiow. The orchestra, numerically strap' sad excellent, played the neuter, with a mingled deli cacy and fire which lett Dothan to be desired. TM other pings selected from this work were the " fiakierso," the " Intennezzo," the " Nottumo," and the "Wedding /Lerch," which latter wee, as it usually is, enthusiastiadly encored. T. air, " But the Lord," with its preliminary recitative, is of too sombre a cast to be placed immediately after music to bright and vivacious as that which preceded it. It was impressively sup' by Madame Laura Baxter, but could not, wader the cironmetawees, produce much effect. The great feature of the evening we M. flaintos's pier tidy execution of the violin oormerto, that great work which don to the import's'''e of an orchestral symphosy, bang set sorely a medium for the display of mechanical easel- Issas, hot a thought/al and thoroughly developed oompo skim. is whieb, peat so are the executive difficulties, stall biers demob are made on the player, who can scarcely elsoos4 is rendering this concerto unless he euperadd sesti nas% sad refined feeling to high technical skill. It is DO mall rah* to say that IL fialatoes performance lest night Minot all requirements. Indeed, it ooald scarcely have Isms sarpassel by any living artist, and it was received with load and prolonged applause. The remainder of tie Mendeloam selection celsistad of the pretty duet, "Now here, sow there" Men Sou sad Stranger), sung by Male. Pereps and fidme. Lars Bo:- ter ; and the glowing overture to Ray Bias— a work w►ioh for pusiooste intensity may pair with iv.b.e. "Bolt of the Spirits." Of the orchestra we have already spoken in terms of high praise, and Mr. Mellon's conducting is equally worthy of commendation. He evidently has the score in his mind as well ea before his eye. The remaining portion of the concert, consisting of a miscellaneous selection, calls for no special notice. Those who paid their shilling (and they were very many hundreds) for the sake of the Mendelsohn pert of the con cert only, made as excellent investment of their money — indeed nowhere out of London could such music, so well performed, be heard for eo small an outlay. DRAMA. LYCEUX. This theatre, &flex having done duty for • coil sidesshis parties of the fashionable months as an opera. how, Was reopened last night for an autumn dramatic semoo, the lemesehip and masagership berg omiceetrated in the pergola of Yr. Edmund Faiormor. lb. inaugurating novelty was • new comedy from the pen of the lessee, who thus adds to his other important dries that of principal author to the establishment, • opacity in which he has certainly accredited himself se well that we trout it may be regarded r an augury of arum in the other two. Wunwn; o► Lore dpw•st eke World!, which is the tile of the new comedy, is • good, healthy-reed, and, upon the whole, well and sesartlpwritten addition to our list of modern English stage plays. It is marked in the hills r "original," and if it has a prototype it is not likely to be found in that universal mils, from which the playwrights of the present day are wont to draw their inspirsticas, viz., contemporary Fiench dramas, but rather in the better ekes of those efforts which characterised the Drilla theatre at the close of the last and the early part of lie prompt en• fury. Tbe success was complete, and the leading Man and actresses, and subsequently the author, were allsd before the curtain to receive the cengestidatione of • very full audience. Mr. Oxenford's farce, Magic rep concluded the eves- Wes estertainmente. The entertaiumentwhTchhae for some time past been gives, with aa burrowing popularity, by Yr. sad Mn.

This ceremony, however, was preceded by a gathering at the Oracle, which, with the gardens adjoining, was theorised before eight o'clock by an excited multitude, pouring in by red and boat from all parts, and uttering greetings and inquiries I. all sorts of languages. Up to this point, I may observe, there appears to have been a little uncertainty and confusion in the muniments for the myself of a portion of the foreign visitors deputed to take part in the ceremonies, and which, as far se some of our countrymen were concerned at one time, threatened to mar "the harmony of the meeting." All this was apparently owing to some neglect on the part of the foreign secretaries, who in some instances had misunderstood, or at least had not fully executed their functions.

[TWOPENCE ARTISTIC CONGRESS AT ANTWERP. +— (riot ova erzcua. ooanaoinnirr.) ANTWERP, Auaust 17. This ancient, and, par excellence, artistic city, is now in a stated the highest excitement in tepid to the arrangements for the pent Millie Cowper which is to commence to-morrow, What other cities sometimes do in honour of the presence of royalty or of the murderoas achievements of the battle.field, Antwerp, remembering her old renown and her imperishable inheritariee in the name of Rubor, is prepared to do in honour of artiste amembled from all quarters of Europe, sad towards the end of promoting the aria of peace, exhibitions of art, Harrel fttes, concerts, banquets, illuminations, fireworks, and solemn discussions upon questions of art, are to occupy the undivided attention of the good citizens of Antwerp daring the ensuing three days, the omasised committee under which the whole is to take place consisting of Mons. J. F. Loos, the burgomaster; Mons J. Cuylita, president of the Royal Society of Arta ; N. de Keyser, director of the Royal Academy of Antwerp ; and Moos. H. Leys, president of the plastic section of the Artistic Literary and Scientific Cercle ; Mons. E. Rigeli, secretary of the Carrie, and Mons. Leon Van Hernelryck, escrelary of the Royal Society of Arts, being the secretaries. The re mining members at the committee include seine of the principal sidermen, merchants, members of provincial causal, amstere, mid proforma of art—en association which speaks well for the general interest ormilated in the , prosperity of the arta by all claims of the community, arid the unanimity and good feeling with which they co-operate towards a common meritorious end. The Invitations which have been sent out to this interest ing gathering have been already numerously responded to by artists and rasa of letters from England, France, Holland, Germany, &c. ; and the most roguing expectations are entertained of the good and useful results which may spring from this meeting—results affecting the arts as respects their influence upon society, as well as the position and the material interests of the artist in his pro fession. To take the latter field of operation first, one of the most important questions to be discussed is that of copyright in works of art, the object being to bring artists " to come to a good understanding, and to act unanimously," in order to struggle against frauds, and avail themselves of their rights. Upon this point the committee in their arcular state It seems, indeed, if we only (*molt the present state of legislation, that common justice is not done them (the artists). whilst governments protect every kind of pro- perty with the utmost solicitude, nothing has been does to prevent the preduotions of art from becoming pablie pro perty : but even attempts have been made to coolest whether artists have the right of claiming the owoorship of their own weeks. An unrelenting piracy, called confrefacees, deprives time of the benefits of their labours ; that oststrefiepose has become a regular trade, which has its work placer, its counting-houses, and also its markets. The law , which punishes with aeverity the forging of a com mercial signature, has not found any efficacious means of prohibiting the counterfeiting, we will lot say of a work of sat, but of ea artistic signature. The e ff orts of the caress held at Brussels the 27th of September, 18158, to Mecum the quinine of literary and artistic copyrights, have Dot yingenineed the desired else* but those efforts have at leant teeded to call the attention of the Belgian government to the necessity of securing the property of literary men and artists. A project of law he. been presented to the Chambers at Brmsels, which, we hope, will strike a mortal blow to centre/ape. But se we are ignorant whether this project will be adopted, and give satisfaction to all interesta, the question of artistic peopmty being moreover an international one, which the previous , good understanding of government. alone can solve, life have thought that a aagnew wherein all the great capitals of art would be represented might, by it. resolutions, exercise a decisive influence upon the dispositions of the statesmen to whom the definite solu tion of that important problem is referred. Consequently, we have inscribed the question of artistic property at the head of our programme. But material interests, however important they may be, are neither the sole nor the princi pal occupations of serious mind; and we have thought that a meeting of so many competent men might have a peeler aim than the simple discumion of a question of right. The ether questions to be brought on the tapir, and open which all comers are invited to speak, " without restriction as to language," include some which I cannot help viewing sa too abstruse to find ample and profound solution in a brief two days' session, amidst feasible, fireworks, illumina tions, and popular rejoicings of every description. For in. stenos, under the head of " questions affecting artistic in. terests," we shall be called upon to wive the following : Is the expression of monumental art in harmony with the manifestations of modem ides@ ? Is not the union of archi tecture, sculpture, and painting indispensable to monu mental art! What reforms should be introduced in the instruction of the fine arta, in order to establish that union! Is it not in the union of architecture, painting, and sculp ture that monumental art should find the elements of a new style, which ought to characterise our epoch? Whilst under " Questions of phikeophicel intereete” will be decried :—What affinity exists between philosophy and art? Does sot art agar • certain influence upon the in tellectual and mcml development of nations! What Win roe can be attributed to modern ideas upon contemporary . art? Doss not our epoch parer any new principle which rosy give to the fir arts • new expression and direction! If art, expressing contemporary ideas, must contain their symbol, what kind of works will best reach that end? The "Programme de la Vie Communale et des Wa pitis Artistiquee " has just been reed, and fills eight octavo pages. As I sball describe them from day to day as they occur, I need not anticipate in the full detail the varied and multitudinous appointments set down. The official reception of the artistic and literary visitors takes place to-day, on their arrival at the station ; and at nine o'clock this evening they will assemble at the Genie Artistique, and thence proceed in procession to the Hotel de Ville. Tomorrow will be • complete day of holiday-making, after which will be given • grand banquet at the Mires des Varier', to which upwards of • thousand guests have here invited ; the evening to conclude with • flee reaspers, contributed by the Societe Royale de Maneceir On Monday and Tuesday the Oeuvre will alt, and an endless variety of amusements will relieve the severity of their labors. The city is already very crowded, and new arrivals from all part are every minute corning in. The honour are hung with draperies and flags of all nations ; and proces. Woos, headed by banda of music, are parading the streets. The passage leading to the Conde, from the Rue Leopold, is planted on each side with trees, and is front of the build ings is an ornamental porch, with the inscription, " Welborn." The mimic of the chimes fills the air on all sides. - -- gnat gathering was not the work, nor even the result of Use suggestion of the Cycle Artistique, but of tie people of Antwerp, who wished to express their devotion to the arts, sod to offer facilities for an interchange of opi nions and kindly sentiment. between artists, lovers of art, and men at literary eminence of all nations. lie assured those who had honoured them by responding to the invita tions to this congrese that they would not only be wel. caned by the authorities and by the artistic bodies, bet by ell the inhabitants of Antwerp, who were anxious to receive them as friends, and their guests, placing the hospitality of their homes at their disposition, and proud to receive than amongst them. This brief and spirited address told amazingly with the crowded assembly, being frequently interrupted by ap plans. ; and at the oonclusion there was a buratof "braves" and cheering which would have shamed • City dinner" with all the experienced prompting of Mr. Harker. In the midst of the plaudits an unmistakable "pop" was heard, and the worthy vice-president pledged the meeting in • bumper of champagne ; and then there was a ported jev-de -joie of champagne ands general toasting and clinkiagot glasses went on for some minutes, to the unmitel matithis tioa of everybody, all previous mistakes and delays sp. pairing to be, with one accord, forgotten. Several brief and emphatic speeches were made in re sponse. Baron TATLOS, president of the Societe des One. de Let tres, at Paris, retuned thanks for his patios. M. Banter arclueologist, of Munich, uttered an inspiriting ed died. in (termini. On behalf of the invited and assembled musts from ell n►tions " he thanked the oily of Antwerp, the friend and encourager of the arts, which. in thus con voking all men who occupied themselves with the practice of the arts and all questions which affected them, and the principles of beauty which were their inspiration, had done important service in the cause of civilisation. (Renewed cheering and cries of " Vivo Anvers!" " Vivo la fraternite des pony's' !" A torchlight procession 'was then formed to the Town-hall, preceded by the band of the Civic Guard, the streets and the windows of the houses being thronged with eager spectators. Arrived at that venerable building, the spies, It was well known, would not accommodate one tithe of the hundreds who bad flocked thither ; but through the kindness of • gentleman of the towel, who merely mentioned to the offi cials at the door my pretensions, on being announced as "Cu stranger" I was admitted amongst the very find ; and had the pleasure of assisting at one of the most interest ing official ceremonies I was ever present at.

CAVE THOMAS was form:oat to return thanks for the artiste of &Wand. Mr. DONALDSON, president, as was understood, of the Architectural Society of London, then addressed the Burp. master in a brief but earnest speech, expressing a hope that the authorities and artists of Antwerp would return the visit of English artiste, and other gentlemen, by taking part at the groat exhibition preparing in London for next year. This speaker met with a warm reception, and when he b►d finished there were cries of " Vise Anvers," " Vivant lea Angles." Y. 111:02111JUJI, a literary man from Paris, next returned thanks, in a brilliant oration, which met with an enthu siastic reception. After renewed congratulations and salutations, the huge meeting separated, the major portion of those present re turning to she Carole. I should state that when the worthy Vice-President of the Cercle and the not less esteemed burgomaster offered the hospitality of the town on the meet extens.ve scale to all comers, it was no mere expression of compliment. Already the proms of billetting has taken place, and the artists and others forming the deputation. from carious countries have bees invited to become the gamete of the principal civic funetkearies, eminent citizen., and artiste of the town. For to-day there v a very full programme ; it trill only be a marvel if it is entirely got through. Imprimis,—at nine in the morning there was an assembly of the civic guard to meet their brethren trots all the other cities in the kingdom, who came to take part in the grand Tir National, or shooting match of bowmen, and after wards a procession to the Towahall, to receive the prises awarded by the commonalty of the town. This procession lasted above an hour, and was accompanied by innume rable bands of music, which, all playing at once, sometimes produced an effect upon tutored ears more forcible than agreeable. Whilst this was going on, a grind exposition of fruits and flowers at the Roe ticnitund Guider' attracted a considerable portion of the holiday makers ; and at eleven the church gave its auction and adhesion to the great national movemeot by getting up "La celebre procession de Notre Dame," in the words of the official programme, with all the costly gold and silver ornaments, and pageantry of embroidered velvet, kc., with which this venerable cathedrall is so richly endowed. The life size effigy of the Virgin, which all tourists of the Rhine will recollect seeing here, was equipped in her golden snit, and carried on a platform, born* by six officials. The road was strewed with flowers, and the houses throughout the line of the procession exhibited wax lights and bouquets of flowers. A band of music, playing an inspiriting march, Leaded the proces sion. At one o'clock the visitors went in a body to the Expo sition of the Society for the Encouragement of the Fine Arts—of which I must reserve any notice till • future opportunity. At theme there was a grand Consume de Declamation by various soneffes and meteor bodies. At four the monster baoquet is to come off at the Theatre des Varietie ; at seven there will be the grand Pe charr.petre by the Royal Society of Hartnoay ; sod at lan en exciting day will be wound up by • greed ball at thellotel de Ville.

An extraordinary general meeting of the share holders wee held yesterday at the offices, Broad•strest buildinp ; Mr. JONA orxwear is the chair. The report add the emoting was convened for the pur pose of receiving the assent of the proprietors to a deed for dissolving the company's contract with the Ceylon govern ment, on repayment to the company of its capital, in terms. of the resolution passed by the proprietors at the extraor dinary general meeting of the 14th of February lest. The deed provided for the repayment of the capital by the go vernment of Ceylon, on the 21st of August, with interest at 6 per cent. to that date, in coasieLerstion of which the go vernment of Ceylon was to become entitled to the whole of the company's property, essamieg all it. responsibilities. The deed further provided that an act of parliament should be obtained next semion, at the expense of the government of Ceylon, to dissolve the company. In the meantime the functions of the executive would be exoluaively confined to the closing of the company's affairs as expeditiously a s possible. The Crunteen said the report sufficiently explained the object of the meet*, and all they had to do was to affix the seal of the company to the contract which had been prepared. The contract having been rend in extenso The CHAIRMAN said the terms of the deed, which were very stringent, provided for the return of their whole capital, together with 6 per cent. interest up to the 21st of the present mouth, after which all their interest is the concern would came.
