That neglect was the origin of all the mischief which followed, and by which ministers were endeavour ing to make the matter worse. Now, we have but a bill before us in which it is perfectly competent to every party to move that .the borough free holders shall not lose their county votes, and that the borough franchise shall be—universal suffrage —if they please. The attempt has, however, been made to compel the Government to nail a flag to the mast, which by another mode of treatment they might have been contented to haul down, or at least to permit the house to do it, and to alter it a little, or even substitute another. There is probably not a member who does not now see that Lord JOHN'S Resolutions are moved in the interest of party merely, not of Re form. They can serve no purpose but to turn out a Ministry, and would not fairly have done that, had it not been contrived to sting and taunt the Govern ment into making them equivalent to a vote of no confidence. The pubic is most respectfully informed that the FINE ARTS GALLERY, in connection with the above Hall, IS NOW 'OPEN DAT AND NIGHT, from 11 o'clock a.m. until 12 o'clock p.m. The New Gallery contains an extensive Collec ..ion of Pictures, by Ancient and Modern Masters • and is also devoted to Art productions generally. The Proprietor feels lie may confidently assert that, viewed altogether, the exist ing Music Hall, the New Fine Arts Gallery, and the recently added Ante-Hall, will present an attraction which, whether as regards the architectural beauty of the structures them selves, or the varied and hitherto unattempted combinations within, will be found to be wholly without parallel in the Kingdom. The MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT commences as usual at Seven o'clock. In addition to the usual entertainment, the SAUVLET FAMILY, of Amsterdam, Eight in number, whose varied instrumental performances have created so marked a sensa tion in the principal cities and towns, o 7 the Continent, will )erform every Evening at Nine and Eleven o'clock. As " advanced Reformers," as Mr. HAYTER politely terms our friends in the House, we feel no fear of any results which can follow carrying the Resolution. Our party, cannot lose by it. The old Whigs may. Suppose it issues in a dissolution so much the better for us. Mr. LABOU CHERE must find another seat instead of Taunton, Lord JOHN anotherilinstead of London and other Whigs must look about them also. A glorious upstir there will be no doubt. Lord PALMERSTON shudders already at the thought of " throwing the Constitution before the country,'. to be scrambled for on the hustings.' Sir JAMES GRAHAM informed the House of the rapid progress made by the awful Ballot in his own borough, and throughout the constituencies. The demand for it, as he told them, was " advancing more rapidly than the demand for any other reform !" Lord PALMERSTON, indeed, dared Ministers, in the most provoking language, to dissolve, and even taunted them with penal continuance in office. 'We must confess that such language, from such a man, would alone induce as to show him that we had the power to send him to answer again his . Chartist catechisers on the hustings at Tiverton. And he would not be the only one who would be obliged to answer more queries than he wished. Indeed, we believe that if Ministers did but clearly intimate their intention to dissolve, if defeated, without asking leave of Lord PALMERSTON, they would now be almost certain of a majority, so terrified are all the timid ones at the thought of aParliament elected to reform itself. Such a Parliament must be pre pared to pass a bill which would enable them soon again to face their constituents. If however, Ministers after all should not resign—if they should be superior to rude taunts, and reconsider their view of the effect of the resolu tion, then, of course the bill would go into com mittee, the house could give it what form it pleased, and we should, at least, with greater ease than in any other way, get through the Lords something worth having. We should have some Reform Bill this year—some increase of constituencies—pro bably some schedule A, and sundry other popular concessions. All these would put us in a better position for the amended Reform Bill, which would certainly be passed in a .very few years after by the re-reformed Parliament. But supposing Lord JOHN to obtain the coveted object of his ambition—suppose him Prime Minis ter, and that without a dissolution, what could he do ? He could not expect the, aid. of those whom he had ejected by a shabby " dodge." Lord PAL MERSTON has advertised him that he is not his humble servant, although, for reasons of his own, he votes for the resolution. He merely intends to punish the present Ministry for taking his place, and to punish Lord J. RUSSELL by leaving him, if he accepts office, to get on as he best can without him. Lord JoHN could only fall into the " friendly" arms of the hon. member for Birmingham ! and Mr. BRIGHT knows that well enough. Having got him into office the relentless " Friend" will then give the screw a pretty sharp turn or two, and the Birmingham Bill, or speedy ejection will be the alternative for the miserable Whig lord. Let Ministers keep in therefore, and we shall get an instalment of Reform, a good one too; let them dissolve, and the country will prescribe its own Reform Bill ; let them pitch Lord JOHN into office, and he will be at the mercy of Birmingham —the relentless Tories exclaiming "The Radicals be upon thee 0 RUSSELL !" The highest authority in the House of Commons has decided that there is no irregularity whatever in Lord JOHN'S resolution. Against this authori tative opinion there cannot, of course, be any demur. Mr. SPEAKER has said it. There is a cessation to all argument. We must accept the course adopted by the noble lord the member for the City of London as strictly, and rigidly, and undeniably Parliamentary. At the same time, while we bow with the utmost possible respect to the conclusive opinion pronounced by the right hon. gentleman in the chair, we cannot but concur in the rational estimate formed of this most ob noxious resolution by the right hon. gentleman the member for Oxford University. Obediently ac cepting, as in duty bound, the final decision of the Speaker that the Resolution is regular and Par liamentary, Mr. GLADSTONE yet says," I venture to suggest that it is one to which exception may be taken on the grounds of general prudence and convenience." To recognize the reasonableness of this opinion hardly requires, indeed-onore • than an instant of reflection. "I take it," observes Mr. GLADSTONE, in distinct explanation of his views on this head, " I take it that there is a meaning in the rules of the House when they provide that, on the presentation of any scheme of legislation in the form of a Bill, the duty of the House should be to address itself to the scheme as a whole, not that the House should then and there only proceed to deal with the details." Surely all this cannot for one moment be doubted as at once the rule and the custom of the House. Yet in defiance of both rule and cus tom, here is a resolution which, while strictly within the exceptional regulations of the House, does undeniably deal with mere sectional portions of the measure—prior to the second reading of the Bill ! " The resolution," observes Mr. GLADSTONE, " may be quite Parliamentary ; you, sir, have pronounced it to be so; I submit respectfully to your authority—but--I express my own opinion as far as my own opportunities go, that this is the first occasion on which a resolution has been moved on the second reading of a Bill, the purport and matter of which resolution consist simply in deal ing with certain portions of the Bill, which por tions might be dealt with in committee." Nay, we venture to go beyond these last words of Mr. GLADSTONE and to say—which portions ought to be dealt with in committee ? The first reading and the second reading are for the acceptance or the rejection of a measure as, a whole. Its considera tion in detail is reserved by the rules of the House THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 31, 1859. AMERICA. to be taken into account—in committee! A reso lution upon the second reading, therefore—taking exception to one or two fragmentary portions of a complicated and comprehensive Bill—a resolution of this unusual if not unparalleled kind, while it may be strictly within the regulations of the House, and therefore strictly Parliamentary, is undeniably, as the Member for Oxford University ventures to dug gest, " one to which exception may be taken on the grounds of general prudence and conve nience." In other and plainer words—lf it is un• Parliamentary it is no less merely imprudent and inconvenient. However much we agree, nevertheless, with the view taken by Mr. GLADSTONE of the character and tendency of Lord JOHN'S resolution, we are in no way disposed to coincide with the opinions ex pressed by the Right Hon. Gentleman in regard to the motives dictating it. According to Mr. GLAD STONE, her MAJESTY'S Solicitor-General, described by him as "a gentleman of distinguished character, eminence, and abilities " " spoilt an effective speech by dropping at the close of it words which were not worthy of this House or of his position." According to Sir JOAN PAKINVON, on the other hand, that effective speech was in that very portion of it, in that effective peroration, there peculiarly and especially, and above all, the most entitled to commendation. Alluding to those impressive words in which Sir HUGH CAIRNS reprobated the factious and party move of the noble lord the member for the City of London, the First Lord of the Admiralty said, amidst the cheers of the Commons, "We want a little more of such plain speaking in this House :" adding " The conduct of our public men would be improved, and the conduct of our public affairs likewise would be improved, if there were a little more of this wisdom and truthtelling." And, as if this, were not sufficiently explicit, Sir JOHN -observed still further - --" Instead of joining in the censure of my hon. friend (Sir H. CAIRNS), I thank him for the language he used." Yet for this honest, truthful, manly language, Mr. GLADSTONE now suggests that the Solicitor-General should make a studied apology to the Noble Lord before the con clusion of this protracted debate upon his resolu tion. An apology !—for what ? For articulating the thought that is in every mind, the conviction that is in every heart, even the minds and hearts of the mere Whig partisans ? An apology for call ing a spade a spade ! The suggestion is simply ridiculous. Lord JOHN'S resolution has glaringly and notoriously been framed for the express purpose of subserving party objects and private ambitions— for embarrassing a Ministry—for turning it out if possible, certainly not with a view to forward the interests of Reform by the very means which must the most effectually retard its advance by causing confusion and procrastination. For frankly saying what everybody about him, within hearing of his words, already believes, and knows and sees, the Solicitor. General is asked to apologise. The sug. gestion is simply ridiculous. LATEST NEWS. THE AUSTRALIAN MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY. The Royal mail steamer Tevoit, from Alexandria, with the Australian mails, passed Hurst Castle at 11.40 a.m. The following telegram has been received at Mr. Reuter's office : PARIS, WEDNESDAY. According to good information, the Austrian 'Government has refused Baden-Baden as the seat of the proposed Congress. The French Government leaves the choice of the town to Austria, reserving only the condition that it must be in communication with Paris by railway and telegraph. The report is current that the Grand Duke of Tuscany has published a new manifesto, but its contents are not yet known. We learn from Venice that information had just reached that city that the colonel of a Hungarian regiment had been tried by court-martil, and sen tented to be shot at Verona, for having attempted to persuade his regiment not to fight against the Italians. The sentence, we regret to add, was im mediately carried into effect. MARSEILLES, MARCH 30. Advices have been received from Constantinople to the 23d inst. The journals confirm the statement that 12 bat talions and 80 cannon have been despatched to Schumla, and that another division will follow. Letters assert that Count Lallemand, first Secre tary to the French embassy, demanded a peremp tory answer from the Grand Vizier in reference to the threatening movements of troops towards the Principalities, and that the Grand Vizier gave him an evasive answer. The Grand Vizier is very ill and his retirement is anticipated. [BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.] SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY MORNING. The North German Lloyd steamship Bremen, Captain Wessels, has arrived from New York with the United States' mails of the 19th. -She has 136 passengers, 150,000 dols. in specie for England, and 120,000 dols. for France. The Weser steamer, from Queenstown, arrived out on the 18th. The Asia steamer, from Liverpool, 14 days out, arrived at New York just before the Bremen left.

The more warlike news by the Weser, which reached New York in 12 days from Queenstown, had not, so far, had any effect on the market. Stocks were duller, but prices did not vary mate rially. Reports of earnings thus far showed no im provement._ . _ New York Central and Erie quiet. The convention at Buffitlo appeared to be tending to a dissolution of the compact between the roads.

WIND, Northerly and Easterly ; fresh, with fine cold sunshiny weather. This evening the battle of the inns and outs will be resumed. Never, perhaps, as Mr. GLADSTONE clearly explained, was so unusual and inconvenient a course adopted as that which Lord JOHN RUSSELL has deemed it not inconsistent with his high posi tion and glowing aspirations to pursue. We have heard of the " auri sacra fames," the burning thirst for gold, by which too many are actuated ! We believe, however, that is is scarcely more con suming than the passion for place, power, and patronage \ felt by some of those who have enjoyed the sweets of office, and who fancy that they may again obtain admission to the Downing -street Eden ; nay, because reckless of everything, all they seek is to achieve their object, per fas aut nefas, trying to persuade themselves that " the end justifies the means," and that nothing could be wrong which would replace Lord JonN RUSSELL on the Treasury Benches. Let what may be said, that, unquestionably, is the desire of those who support the resolution, no matter how cunningly they may endeavour to conceal their true motives. It would also be difficult to discover such conflict ing reasons as those assigned by the anti-Mins terialists to excuse their votes ! Some assert that the Government Bill is so radicallrdefective that it would be better to have no measure atn all. But surely the proper course, under such circumstances, would be to meet the motion for its second reading with a direct negative, or, as Mr. OWEN STANLEY wished, to demand a vote of want of confidence in the Cabinet. Others profess to believe that there is nothing to prevent Lord DERBY and his col leagues from remaining in office. Indeed, Lord PALMERSTON " condemned them to retain their places." It will be only the assertion of just prin ciples which will improve and correct the entire subject, and eventually render it worthy of accept ance ! This is, however, too rich a joke to be swallowed by any rational member on either side of the house. The only alternative is fully and completely understood, and the conse quences must be duly considered by all who have made up their minds to participate in so factious and unwarrantable a proceeding ! It certainly will nOt be accepted by their reforming constituents, should they ere long have to meet them on the hustings. Another party will support the resolution, be. cause the provision in the bill respecting voting papers would inevitably lead to " THE BALLOT." This we have already pointed out, and it is the chief feature in the bill which the community at large desire to see carried, inasmuch as the Ballot is the point on which they have more especially set their hearts, conceiving that without that pro tection to the humble voter, an extension of the• franchise might be regarded as a curse rather than a blessing. Sir JAMES GRAHAM was compelled to confess that the question had gained great ground among his constituents, although he declared his unalterable hostility to it; while NIL LABOUCHERE received a tender hint from his constituents as to what was anticipated at his hands, and what he might expect in return should he refuse to comply with their wishes. These right hon. gentlemen will occupy leading positions in any Whig Cabinet that may be formed, and the clearly ex pressed and very decided opinions of Lord JOHN RUSSELL and Lord PALMERSTON, it requires no extraordinary power of vaticination te predict the prospects of obtaining " THE BALLOT" should the resolution unfortunately be carried and the present Government driven from office. The new franchises are also objected to. Edu• cation or profession should confer no right—a mere lodger must still remain a political cypher—and money in a savings -bank, the best test of indepen dence that could be displayed by a working man, must be completely ignored. Every concession, however valuable, must be re jected, either because it goes too far or does not go far enough or because it may eventually lead to something else. There is also another ground of complaint against the voting papers. They would get rid of that fertile source of bribery and corruption—" The Conveyance Of Voters" Act, and enable a poor man to enter into contest with a wealthy one, with some prospect of success. This cannot be tolerated under any circumstances, and therefore the resolution is to be supported, and any measure of reform adjourned for an indefinite period. There are besides the opponents of all reform no inconsiderable class who vote against any change or alteration—all these combine "to stir the cauldron," and to reject the Ministerial Bill under any circumstances, and at any cost; will the country approve of their conduct ? We believe not; but a brief time will -tell whether they have reckoned without their hosts, and proved them selves utterly ignorant of public opinion on the great, the all-absorbing question of the day. Lord JOHN RUSSELL must feel his position, in regard to the result of the debate, materially changed. Clever, indeed, was the scheme ; well contrived the net spread to catch votes ; but by degrees this unpleasant fact has become a glaring one. It was a complaint respecting the Bill, that it was made to " pass the House of Commons." No one doubts it It. was confessed from the Treasury benches that it contained as much con cession to popular demands as Ministers, from their position, could be expected to offer, and that it was a sufficient basis for any bill likely to get through Parliament. But, if the Ministerial Bill was made for a Whig and Tory House, much more was the resolution proposed to suit the taste of honourable members. It has not a single merit in it which can commend it to the nation. It is is vir tually a mere negative to the most unpopular part of the Government measure. It has not a spark of courage, or generosity, or confidence in the people about it. It offers nothing definite ; it is only so worded as to be, on the one hand difficult .

This is a superior style of novel, and indeed it is more the chronicle of an extraordinary career than what is ordinary called a fiction. The cha racter of Christie Roach is most ably delineated, and cannot fail to impress the mind of the reader. In many respects the story of his life is a painful one, but there can be no doubt that the manner in which it is described to us is a masterly one, and that the strong passions of his nature, and the high aspirations of his intellect are traced with a pathos, and power that arrest and enchain the attention. The first part of the narrative relates to the childhood and youth of Christie, which were passed in Ireland. He afterwards went to France, where the most important years of his life were spent. His existence was a very unhappy one ;he was disappointed in his love, and denied in his am bition, while, to crown all these sorrows, an un lucky accident he met with in early life, in some measure, and at certain times, affected his brain, not sufficiently to attract notice in an ordinary man, but enough to draw the gaze of the ignorant vulgar, and the sneer of the conceited learned ones of the world on this man who was gifted with ex traordinary powers. The one object of his life was astronomy, the celestial globe had been the idol of of his childhood, and future years only increased his zeal and deepened his devotion for that glorious science. At last it seemed that he was fated to achieve distinction, for he thought he had dis coved a planet; before, however, he could make clear his ideas, or prove his prophecy, his old enemy attacked him, and in one short night of agony helost •those ideas en the subject of science, which he had been treasuring up through long years, and whose possession he considered the priceless storehouse of his wealth. During the lapse that succeeded to his labours, another more fortunate professor an nounced, as his discovery, the planet Christie had foretold to be there, but had been fated not to prove. After the first bitter moment of disappoint ment, lie roused himself to consider his secret triumph, if not his public success. He recovered the powers of thought and memory he had been so suddenly deprived of, and, at last, after his weary toil and hopeless suffering, some prospects of his eventually succeeding dawned - upon him. The fol lowing description of his visit to the Observatory after his happy recovery is forcibly written " He is about to see his dream fulfilled—his chimera has proved to be a reality—the stranger which had visited him in sleep, which had haunted his thoughts and troubled his rest, was about to beam• upon him. Once he had seen it before, and mapped it, all unconscious of the bright fame almost within his hand. Then, indeed, had Fortune swept by him, touching him with her garment hand. Many a fine conception, many a germ of discovery, have visited men of retirement and thought. Leisurely have they dallied with it, and ruminated upon it—procras tinating its embodiment from day to day—forgetful of the thousand restless brains toiling hourly on their very track —of the thousand sleepless eyes which scrutinise, from sunrise to sunset, every inch in the demesnes of Science and Literature for something new. So, in perilous con fidence, they muse on their secret, and wait— till, some morning, the column of a newspaper, or a goodly foolscap volume, introduces them to their cherished bantling as an other man's child. Sorrow is unavailing then; they chose to wait, but the world could not. If Watt had not invented the steam-chamber, then had Stephenson or Roberts in vented it instead. " The second-hand of the chronometer clicked the time with a sharp clear throb—the dome' moved softly round, and he looked through the telescope. " A lonely orb was in the centre of its field. His mind mounted towards it—he gazed on it with pondering awe. Grand beyond human thought in mass and distance—the Earth's huge brothgr—thirty hundred million miles away —rushing on—on—in dim cold sunshine ! Earth's dynas ties passing into forgotten archives—her granite crust wear ing and renewing before this silent orb has wound one god like year ! " Ile gazed till sight grew giddy—drank his fill of gran deur. He was alone with his planet—every sound was hushed save his slow long breathings, and the spectral click-click of the dead-beat escapement, ever telling the eternal times of the stars. He left the Observatory at dawn. Envy had no room in his breast, as he went out into the ways of men, after this solemn star-vigil." The domestic passages of this work also claim attention from the vigorous style in which they are related to us. There are many of the charac ters that of themselves attract attention, such as Mr. Henderson, his daughter Jay, and Annie Brandon. Pierce Henderson is a most disagree able man, devoid of any kind sympathy or generous feeling. The manner in which he conducted himself towards his father, at the opening of the story, fully reveals the class to which he belonged. It seems almost im probable that so gentle a maiden as Annie Brandon should have been so attached to him; but then he had always appeared before her under such favourable auspices, and she was not possessed of any great ability in discerning character or fathoming motives. It was on this gracious and lovely maiden that Christie had set his affections, and, as we have seen, he was destined to disap pointment. Jay, the young . and high-spirited daughter of Mr. Henderson, is of a very different disposition. She was early neglected and spoiled, but there was something innately great and good in her mind and heart that nothing could finally quench or effectually extinguish. Her straight forward actions and conduct are a relief to the cunning and crooked dealings of her father, and the absurd sentimentalities of 'her governess, Miss Putney—a lady every way unfitted for the dis charge of her duties. When she was removed to a convent in France to finish her education, she improved rapidly under the guidance of better teachers, and the influence of su perior minds. She had been interested in the fate of Christie Roach, since he had saved her from a cruel death when she was a child; and her eager inquiring mind early discerned the high intelligence that distinguished him, and set him apart from the men around him. When in Paris, years afterwards, she heard of him as prosecuting his great researches amid the heavenly host, she gladly availed herself of the opportunity of seeing him. Depressed by anxiety, her presence seemed to throw some faint light on his path ; but Christie was ever honourable, and he withdrew from her society, lest she should mistake her own feelings before having seen the world. Years afterwards, when he had struggled not in vain, and in some faint shadowy form realised the ambitious aspirings of his dreamy youth, he returned to visit his native country, and stood again in the green fields where he had played in childhood. He stood there "victorious in the weary battle of life," not thinking but that by this time the fair girl, whose first object had been himself, had found other more congenial sym pathies. Jay was not of this changeable cyst, however, she had watched with pride the proud position he had won for himself in Paris, as Presi dent of the Institute, and she [hailed his return. Even the worldly-wise father could find no reason to adduce, against the union, and they returned to France. There is much that is painful in this work, but there will appear to the reflective reader much that is superior in its construction, and original in its conception. It has for its chief object the working out of no common idea, and this has been executed in no ordinary manner. This work will most probably attract attention and admiration, and there seems no reason •to doubt that the sorrows of a gifted mind should meet with sympathy, and the record of the failure of a glorious ambition be thought more of than the mention of many meaner successes. The Duchess of Orleans. A Memoir. Translated from the French by Mrs. Austin Jepp, Bur lington Arcade. _ _ _ _ A memoir of this lamented Princess has recently been published in French by one who was for years her intimate friend and companion. Mrs. Austin, who was also honoured with her friend ship, has translated this interesting volume into English, and has added her testimony to the virtues of its subject. The character of the Duchess of Orleans commanded respect even from those whom political circumstances rendered tlie oppo nents of her family, and her misfortunes awakened a feeling of sympathy in the hearts of those who were personally unknown to her. The young Princess and future Queen, throw ing herself with all the ardour of her nature into the interests of her adopted country, ending her days an exile from that country, with all prospect of restoration torn from her—the at tached wife suddenly deprived of her husband in the full vigour of his age, and in all the promise of his popularity—the devoted mother seeing the sons she was bringing up for a throne cast aimless on the world—all these accumulated trials, besides the many lost friends she was called on to deplore, were the fate of the high-souled, tender Helen of Orleans. But in all her trials she seems to have comported herself with a happy mixture of fortitude and re signation that won the admiration of all about her. Both the writer and the translator of the memoir appear to have been actuated by a loving enthu siasm and sincere admiration, and such testimony from those who knew her well is not to be lightly estimated. The events of her life, including the mournful catastrophe that deprived her of her husband, are told with simplicity and feeling. The author and translator naturally share the political sentiments of their heroine, but it is in her cha racter as a woman, in her earnest and cheerful endeavour to fulfil the duties that devolved on her in the midst of her trials, that she claims the highest regard. The work will doubtless obtain an extended circulation, and will assuredly awaken in the minds of all its readers an increased admiration for tihat noble and suffering Princess, on whom fortune seemed to accumulate trials, but who preserved a constant faith and loving heart through all her vicissitudes. The Chinese Empire. By M. Hue. New edition Longman. A new edition of the Abbe Hue's valuable and interesting work on the Celestial Empire will be very acceptable to the reading public. It is issued in a cheap and commodious form, and those who wish to extend their knowledge of the manners and customs of the Chinese, should take this oppor tunity of profiting by the labours of so good an authority as the indefatigable missionary. Mildred Norman. By a Working Man. Longman. This interesting story is drawn from the social depths of London life. It is said to be written by a working man, and is evidently the production of one who is familiar with the scenes he describes. The characters are numerous, and the incidents natural and life-like. The work paints in vivid colours the condition of the labouring poor, and especially the difficulties and temptations that op pose them in their endeavour to lead religious lives. The subjects treated of are well worthy of public attention, and we trust this volume will have the effect of awakening an interest in the minds of the wealthy and independent for tie trials and troubles of their poorer neighbours. THE SOCIETY OF BRITISH ARTISTS, SUFFOLK-STREE7'. On Saturday afternoon we attended the private view, in Suffolk-street Gallery, of the collection of paintings by British artists for the present season, 1859, being the society's thirty-seventh annual exhibition. There are in the present collection 829 works of art, either pictorial or sculpturesque. Towards this decoration of the five apartments 418 exhibitors have contributed. The more conspicuous and the more familiarly known of these contri butors need no explanatory record in the society's catalogue. At a glance —no matter how careless or superficial—their merits and demerits, above all, their distinctive mannerisms, must upon the in stant be reeognised. Particularly may this be averred in regard to the majority of the twenty nine British artists enrolled as members of the Suffolk-street association. There, as we loiter round the gallery, are the unmistakable white, creaming, splotchy sea-views of Pyne. There the gaudy, dappled, raw mysteries of foliage and cos tume peculiar to Woolmer. There are the alternating Moonrise or Sunset of Clint, or the reedy pools, flecked with the floating leaves of the water lily, distinguishable at once as Bod dington's. There are Hill's pretty peasantry—Hill, the Watteau of British rusticity. There are the huge Shaksperian embodiments of Hurlston. There are Baxter and Pidding, there Sit ayer, Zeitter, and Wainewright. Frequenters of the gallery, for many years past, we know perfectly well - what we have to expect upon the average before we cross the threshold : and there, as usual, we found it on Saturday afternoon—that pleasant annual repeti tion. For the most part it certainly needs variety. Delightful though some of the pictures are to look . at, we are pretty well tired of looking at them over and over again. Some, it is true, have, in this manner, coupled with their intrinsic excellence the charm appertaining to old familiar faces. But others—the principal features of which are far from possessing the attributes of beauty—others, frown ing, or simpering at us, continually year after Tear, from the canvass or the panel—become positively distasteful from their monotonous reiteration. They are ghosts that sadly want to be laid—we are tired to death of them. We would willingly do anything, or go any where to secure the final scattering of them. Several times, already, we have protested against this tedious mannerism,. rendered more and more tedious, through the lapse of so many years, by its " damnable iteration." Vainly, alas! only too vainly—for no sooner has the spring begun budding once more, than the walls of the Suffolk street Gallery blossom over with these same eternal repetitions. _ _ - Boddington and Cobbett are among the most industrious and successful of the exhibitors this year. Charming, charming is the colouring of No. 188, by the latter—" Children Nut Gathering"—a delicious combination of harmonious colours, that would yield a sense of pleasure to a taste as fas tidious as that of Mr. Hay, that prophet at once and high priest among theoretical colourists. Ex quisite, too, in their several ways, are No. 321 (" The Way to the Mill") and No. 458 (" The Haunt of the Moor Hen"), both by Boddington—the former a delightful glimpse caught at an angle through a scanty coppice—the latter a secluded water-scene, sedgy, cool, silent, a very paradise for contempla tion. Baxter's No. 158, " Little Red Riding Hood," is one of the sweetest pictures in the gallery. Cer tainly that rascal the wolf had no such bad taste after all. Just below the lovely little gipsy— glance at that miniature portraiture by C. Rolt, No. 161 (" The Italian Hurdy-Gurdy Boy") you hear the' chuckle, like the clatter of castanets, through the drone of the unmusical abomination, with that wheedling, irresistible " Ah, signor !" flashed out through the pearl teeth and the diamond eyes. Further on in the same apartment, hanging upon the same wall, is one of the most remarkable paintings, to our mind, in all this season's collection. It would engrave admirably, and we hope to see it engraved. This is No. 173, by T. Roberts, entitled, briefly, in the catalogue, " The Opinion of the Press." The picture is full of genius. It is charmingly drawn, brilliantly coloured, admirably grouped. It is replete with contrasting humour and pathos. For the former— look yonder, through the open door, at the retreat ing figure of Mr. Blank, who has just quitted the artist's family, having left one of the public journals containing a bitterly adverse criticism on the young painter's last production, together with a letter from Dash,. declining to complete the purchase ! Look at the smug, complacent, sleek, comfortable figure of the man as he walks down the staircase, with his back towards us—having just left in his wake such gratuitous desolation. In the very way in which his well-brushed hat has been tenderly settled upon his head, and the self-satisfied deliberation with which he has taken his well folded umbrella under his arm, you see the heart less selfishness of a creature entirely self-absorbed. If he be married, it must certainly be to the lady of whom Pope sang— " To make a wash she'd hardly stew a child." But, in all probability, the stout-shouldered old fellow is a confirmed old bachelor. Although you only see his back, you see quite enough of him to recognise that here is, beyond all doubt, the very type and model specimen of the genus stigmatised. by Sheridan where Sir Fretful Plagiary sums up his anguish under th e roasting of Sneer, by agreeing with Dangle in the absurdity of reading the non sensical criticisms in the newspapers, adding—" For, if there is anything to one's praise it is a foolish vanity to be gratified at it ; and if it is abuse, why one is always sure to hear of it from one d—d goodnatured friend or other." There he goes con tentedly lumbering down the staircase this d—d goodnatured friend—provocative of an assisting kick to help him on a little more rapidly his descent. So much for the humorous episode of a picture which is otherwise so exquisitely pathetic. The handsome young painter —a Clive Newcome in look—clutching convulsively at that agonising newspaper as he leans on the table beside which he is seated, his head clasped in his other hand, while upon the young forehead there is visible a silent agony in every nervous corrugation. Hurrying to him is his young wife, who has just seen Mr. Blank to the door—she is dry-eyed but going to cry, her dear kind face losing all lines of beauty under the distorting influence of the rising sorrow. Ha - If-sitting, half-lying on the floor of the artist's family room, under the shadow of the easel—their.one child toying prettily on the neglected palette with a brush laden with vermil lion. It is a charming picture that tells the whole pathetic little story in it at a glance. Again we hope that its merits may be popularised by the aid of the engraver. If ugliness and the caricature of all home tenderness in the cottage be deemed delight ful, then will J. Campbell's No. 309, "Labourers at Rest," be welcome. It is preposterous. Almost as preposterous of repostsehroayesttaLMa pale-faced idi o t w i t h pinkr. Halliday's No. 314, " Th e La lips and primrose hair. fearful to look upon.

In regard to H ur l s t one ' s Oth e ll o uSnl—life, Shepherd"—the right at e the and Hamlet, we would prefer remaining silent— and not the less so in reference to another big pic ture by an eminent artist. Pyne's No. 167, ,‘ Genoa from the New Terrace." Saving, indeed, in one or two of the instances above particularised, superior merit is almost invisible in the Suffolk street collection for 'fifty-nine. Wherefore, as a whole, we must pronounce it reluctantly to be un satisfactory. GASTRONOMY.—It would appear from the daily journals that we are likely, at length, to find in this over grown metropolis of ours a place where the science of dining will be carried out beyond the mere object of making money and satisfying a vulgar appetite. French cooking is, after all, but tantalising to a Briton; yet there are attributes connected with the cuisineof our neighbours which, in taste and elegance, leave us far behind. To engraft these two elements—the solid and the refined—is a task but now un dertaken by Mr. Holmes, once well known as an importer of Eastern splendour in Regent-street, who has had a license unanimously conceded to him to carry out s o de sirable an object at the Patricianin New Coventry-street.
