University College, London, working would all be studied as something to be learned. And yet it is so. Few there are com paratively of those who visit our galleries and museums, and admire (sometimes not that) the mass of artistic wealth they see there, realise to themselves the truth, that it is, in the main, a collection of common things, of household goods—as much the things of ordinary life as the willow-pattern plate or the threaded fork with us. Will it be the same with us ? Will the ordinary fittings of our house holds be ranged as things of beauty in the museums which our descendants will form ? Will the New Zealander of Macaulay place our works by the side of those of the Roman and the Goth, as food for study and instruction ? I fear not. Few, I think, will say they will. Many, perhaps, will scarcely think it of any consequence whether what we do is worthy of being preserved or not. But, believe me, if art be not so commonly diffused among us—if it be not so far appreciated—so made part of the mind of our people that its presence may be made visible to them in the most common things of life, as well as in its most refined—if they be not in fact so educated by the constant presence of art to grace of outline and harmony of colour as to have an almost intuitive perception of what is good, and beautiful, and true in outward things, we shall never attain to that excellence in minor things, nor be able to develope them into those higher ones which we admire, and envy, and wonder at." The professor then discussed the means and in ' Strumentalities by which a knowledge of art could be best diffused, and concluded his lecture with ad vice to those who propose to devote themselves to the profession of architecture. of 1848.

The balance-sheet for 1864-65 and the annual report of the executive committee will be presented at the usual yearly meeting, to be held at Exeter Hall, on Tuesday, the sth of December. The candidates for the two auditors to be elected by the shareholders at this quarterly meeting, advertised under rule 30, are—Mr. W. H. Clemow and Mr. James Goad. The Rev. William George Goodchild had also given notice of his intention to become a candidate, but subsequently withdrew his name, owing to his departure from this coun try for two years. On his return, ho will again solicit the suffrage of the shareholders. The committee have re elected W. Copeland Astbury, Esq., and Newnham Win stanley, Esq., as their two auditors. After this day's nomi nation by the shareholders, the accounts of the past year will be examined and audited in due course. The executive committee have the pleasure to report that two eligible estates have been just acquired for the society, viz., a property in Stafford, in South Stafford shire, and another at Hereford, in Herefordshire, both being essentially building land, within a short distance of important railway stations. The third allotment of the Woodhouse estate, at Wan stead, took place on the 19th of July last ; and such has been the rapid demand for plots on this suburban property, that the entire estate, including the mansion, is now dis posed of, and many buyers of the land from the society have realised considerable premiums on their investments. Plots on the Sandown estate, Isle of Wight, as might have been expected from such a rising place, have also been in such request that but two plots remain unsold. The Plough Lane Estate, Battersea, has been closed, the whole of the plots having been sold, and building opera tions thereon are going on with activity. Many of the purchasers have obtained either good ground-rents or have re-sold at a profit. The Fourth Putney Estate, close to the station, will be allotted on Friday, October 27. The value of this eligible property has been increased by an arrangemennt securing au additional right of way into Wandsworth-lane through College-street, situate on the society's second purchase in Putney. The approaches to both estates will be consider ably improved by the new roads. The allotment of the St. Austell Estate, Cornwall, and the New Ferry Estate, Cheshire (opposite Liverpool), will be proceeded with as soon as the purchases have been completed, the titles having been approved by counsel. The claims of the allottees for the freehold franchise in the several counties in which the society has obtained land, have been supported, free of expense, by the solicitor. The Executive Committee beg to draw attention to the Into general election, to show the influence exercised by land societies, especially in the home counties, owing to the increasing tendency of the metropolitan population to reside in suburban districts, or in more distant localities, where railroad facilities bring men of business to their occupation with such rapidity. Conservatives wishing to qualify themselves for the 26 counties in which the society has purchased 60 estates, can secure for themselves, at the same time, a good intestment. The Conservative Land Society is now in its fourteenth year—the encouraging prospects of which it is gratifying for the committee to announce to the shareholders. (Signed) RANELAGH, Chairman. (Countersigned) CHARLES LEWIS GRUNEISEN, Sec. Office of the Conservative Land Society, 33, Norfolk-street, Strand, W. 0., London, October 10, 1865. The two auditors having been duly elected, thanks were voted to the executive committee, and the meeting separated. ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE.—The Rev. Robt. Sparke Hutchings, M.A., perpetual curate of Monkton Wyld, Dosset, has been presented and instituted by the Lord Bishop of Salisbury to the vicarage of Alderbury, near Salisbury, with the chapels of Pitton and Farley, vice the Rev. Newton Smart. His lordship has appointed the Rev. Edward Luard, rector of Winterslow, Wilts, and the Rev. Francis Goddard, vicar of Hillmarton, Wilts, to be rural deans, in the room of the Rev. M. Smart and the Rev. H. M. Fletcher; and licensed the Rev. James Henry Ghownes, M.A., to the curacy of Netherbury, in the county of Dorset. EASTERN LONDON t l i o o N n . N this Ex exh iliß i management of o which e is intended as the basis of a local museum of science and coiNnmOititTtilee art, have hit upon the idea of blending amusement with the instruction to bo derived from the display of objects of art. As the exhibition is set on foot principally for the working classes, the now superadded entertainments aro at eminently popular prices, and the result is that the vast hall is nightly crowded. A series of fetes has been got up by the veteran Nilson Lee, and they consist of perform ances by the Lauri family, Mr. and Mrs. Randall, the Elliott family, c't.;., and of overtures and selections by the orchestral band. Tho acoustic properties of the hall are favourable, and it is surprising over what a large extent of the huge building the words of the songs and dialogues are heard. Tho afternoon performances begin at three and are resumed again at seven, the earlier audiences being permitted to remain throughout the even ing to inspect the various productions and visit the pic ture gallery. It is certainly a bold experiment to give the masses a cheap entertainment. The admission to the fetes is 3d. only and the stalls 6d. On the occasion of our visit on Saturday afternoon we found the stalls occupied by a highly-respectable class of persons. There was also a large sprinkling of children, a family of whom can be admitted for a sum not exceeding what an individual would have to pay at other places of amusement. In the evening the attendance was enormous. Islington seemed to have drained itself of its population. But the immense crowd, which completely filled the building, although of a motley class, on account of the extre me lowness of the admis sion money, was perfectly orderly. We were informed that no cases cf damage to the works exhibited have occurred. Police, of course, are scattered over the building, just as they are at other crowded entertainments, but their inter ference is not required. It would seem, indeed, that the people are anxious to testify by their orderly conduct to the boon of an entertainment brought thoroughly within their means. The committee are now to some extent reimburs ing themselves for the losses they have sustained during the earlier period that the exhibition has been open. The hall will be required for the cattle show in December. Whether the present series of fetes will be the forerunners of other entertainments on the same plan we do not know, but there can be no question that the experiment of a popu lar entertainment at prices within the reach of the hum blest classes is quite successful. Yesterday Mr. F. Hayter Lewis, who has suc ceeded the veteran Donaldson as Professor of Archi tecture at University College, delivered his inaugural lecture. After a suitable tribute of respect to his predecessor, Professor Lewis observed that he had selected the subject of the Fine Arts as a subject because he held the only professorship connected with the fine arts which exists in any University of the United Kingdom. The fine arts ought to be spoken of together, as being parts of one great whole ; the one without the other is disjointed and fragmentary; architecture without sculpture and painting is like a strong-limbed tree throwing around its sinewy arms without the delicately sculptured foliage to give it grace, or the beautifully coloured flower and leaf to give it life. The arts are dissevered now, no doubt, in real practice, and the result is visible. After contrasting the bald and lifeless works of the last two centuries, wherein the sculptor and the artist seem to have bid farewell to the architect and the engineer, with the glories of times preceding, when art was vigorous, in Italy and Greece, and in our own land, in Westminster and Wells, Canter bury and York, Mr. Hayter Lewis proceeded— " Walk round any of those cathedrals and see if you can find a spandrel or a panel, or a vacant space in which you seem to want the sculptor's art, and see if it be not there applied. Defaced and half de stroyed as some of them are, enough has still been left to show us what must have been the full effect when their sculpture was still perfect, and their mouldings and ornaments were glowing with gold and colour. Study the remains which the Greeks have left us, and imagine, if you can, the Parthenon without the sculpture which clothed its forms with life, and the painting with which it glowed— or think of that same sculpture dissevered from the glorious frame which binds the whole together into one harmonious work ; they were not things to be resolved into the different phases of framework and decoration, but each formed one essential part of all, without which there could be no perfect unity— without which each would be a lifeless part, a por tion only of the perfect whole. But go back to earlier times than even Greece—study, as our museums and libraries may well permit you, the relics left to us by the Assyrian and Egyptian, and of their palaces and temples. No grander outline ever perhaps was left to us than the Pharaohs have left on the banks of the Nile; none more picturesque than those which Sennacherib and his brother Assyrian kings have bequeathed to us from the banks of the Euphrates ; and each one of the great edifices has the history of its founder, its nation, its wars and conquests, its kingly customs and domestic life, sculptured on every portal, coloured on every wall. Dissever the three arts in these colossal works, and you would have robbed the buildings of their history and con signed the sculpture and the painting to oblivion. Now look at the history of the men to whom we owe the works which I have described, and whose memo ries, if even their names have perished, shall live for all time. We smile at the old writer when he, tells us that the architect must be at once skilled in literature, erudite in geometry, familiar with history of all periods and countries, acquainted with philosophy, music, law, the aspects of the heavens, and the influence of seasons and climate. But trace the actual lives of many of the men to whom we owe chief art-works, and you will find his dream has well-nigh been realised. We scarcely realise it ourselves. How many of us are there who, standing entranced before the beauties which De Vinci has traced upon the canvass and the wall, pause to remember him as the sculptor, the architect, the engineer of his age, and the first geologist on record ! How many who pace the Loggie at Flo rence, or gaze upon its richly coloured cathedral walls, think of Arnolfo, sculptor as well as architect, or of Orgagna, the painter, poet, and sculptor, who chiselled with his own hands the sculptures upon the edifices he designed ! Do you wonder at the marvels which we owe to Giotto's pencil? Think of that glorious campanile which we owe to him as archi tect. Do you tread at Pisa with reverential feeling the sacred field of the dead ? Remember that it was Giovanni the sculptor who designed it. Look on the glorious outlines of St. Paul's, never to my mind sur passed, and recal to your mind that its architect was at the same time the first geometrician and astronomer of his age.' And when you think of the heaven-like beauties which Raffael drew—of the prophets and sibyls which awe us still in the Sistine Chapel of Buonarotti, of the unearthly grandeur of his statues which adorn the churches of Florence and of Rome —remember that they came from the same hands which designed many a palace there, and to whom we owe the grandly towering dome of St. Peter's and the splendid facade of the Farnese. Now in considering the works of these great men, we must remember that they are the chief outward visible embodiment of their country's glory and power and skill. And in every time since detailed records of it have existed, these great works of art have been more than the visible signs of the presence of the great, exceptionally great minds. They have been, too, the sign of progress in intellectual power and skill of the general body of the nation, of whose advance the il lustrious men of whom I speak are the mere striking representatives. The palace or cathedral is not a mere exceptional work, to be studied and admired as something quite beyond the ordinary verge of art, but as the mere culminating point of it ; not a mere isolated peak standing as a landmark for all time, and utterly disengaged from anything around, but as the summit point of the minds and works of a people with whom art was ever present, and amongst whom the appreciation of form and detail was innate—who had been so used to see the beau tiful or severely true before them in every stage of ordinary life, no matter how trivial, how common, that they had been self-trained, unknowingly taught and educated to understand, and appreciate, and practise it. It is from the general training and educition of a people that must ultimately come those greater efforts of the mind which some would seem to think may rise spontaneously from the bar ren soil of ignorance in art. Think if it ever did so. Look at the objects now gathered into our museums as things for us to value and study, classed now as works of art, beautiful alike in form and detail. Why, one half of them were the mere household gods of the Roman and the Greek—the ordinary accompaniments of the medieval convent or church. You stop at a lovely bronze, a delicately moulded piece of earthenware, and a delicately tinted page, and you find that it was a lamp that lighted their chamber, the frame of one of their little mirrors, the missal which they used at prayer. You will ass the most skilful of us w ill pass —many an 1 3 hour before we design anything more graceful, yet more useful and more true withal than the com mon household pottery of the Romans—their wine vessels, the very spouts which took the water from their roofs, the utensils of the kitchen, the ladles, and the great bronze cauldrons which they used there. And think of the skill which the common blacksmith of our country showed in the commonest things of use--the handle of a key, the hinge of a door, the cover of a book. And these things, though looked upon (as indeed they are) as art-relics now, were not made up for us to see as something special to be put aside as things for study. I doubt if the most advanced of Romans ever dreamed that the things his servants used—the lamp that lighted his chamber, his ladles and his caldrons, would be considered of so great value as to form the ornaments of a museum. And little did the village blacksmith think, as he forged the massive hinge or chased the delicate little key, that it would be covered up in after times in a glass case as a thing to be admired, and considered, and talked about as one that we would equal if we could. And even less, perhaps, did he imagine that, in a few centuries only and in his own land, the very traditions of his work would be so lost that the fabric of the metal, the ' design in which he worked it, and the method of its s. d. 19,229 9 8 16,249 5 0 18,362 18 8 26,428 8 9 80,26) 2 1 782,389 13 10 Spain and Austria. BRUSSELS ; Oct. 8. The Inde'pendance Beige of to-day publishes the following diplomatic documents relative to the re cognition of Italy by Spain, and the manner in which this act was viewed by Austria, of which a summary has already been received by telegraph. The first of these documents purports to be a despatch from Senor Castro, Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs, to Senor Ayllon, Spanish Minister Plenipotentiary at Vienna, and is as follows : " Madrid, Aug. 3. " Your Excellency,—The Austrian Charge d'Affaires has read to me a despatch addressed to him, under date of July 21, by Count Mensdorff, of which, at my request, he has confidentially left me a copy. As you may not be acquainted with that document, I communicate it to you in the same con fidential manner. It is true that during the last Ministry of the Duke of Tetuan the policy followed by her Majesty's Government towards Italy was, up to a certain point, in harmony with that of Austria ; but it is no less true that this conformity of views did not proceed from any pre-existing agreement or stipulations by virtue of which the two countries were bound to follow the same policy in this ques tion. " Spain and Austria have remained in accord so long as they have been guided by their respective interests. But neither Power lost its liberty of action to take a different course upon this question as in any other, so soon as their Government should think fit. _ _ " It is therefore difficult for me to comprehend upon what reasons Count Mensdorff relies, in affirming that the first act of this Ministry has not answered his expectations. This assertion would leave ground to suppose the existence of a previous agreement confining within certain limits the liberty of action which the Queen's Government has always reserved in this matter, as in the general conduct of its foreign relations. " The bonds of mutual friendship and considera- tion uniting Spain and Austria are numerous ; they could only become still stronger from the moment in which the Emperor considered it was in the inte rest of his States to modify the ancient institutions of the empire in replacing them by others offering great analogy with our own. There are also several political questions on which the two Governments may be agreed. Nevertheless, it would not be pos sible to admit with Count Mensdorff that Spain and Austria have identical interests in Italy. " We entertain a deep and earnest sympathy for the princes of the Bourbo n family who have lost their States ; we have waited four yearsbefore recognising the Kingdom of Italy, hoping that fresh events or an agreement between the European Powers might bring about a definitive settlement of so complicated a question ; but when, during this period, the King dom of Italy has become consolidated, when the po litical and material interests of Spain counsel us to recognise her, we do not think that it is possible ever to bring against us a resolution which we have taken, consulting before all the interest of the country, and putting aside personal affection and purely dynastic interests, which besides do not affect the royal fa mily of Spain. This resolution, on the contrary, can only serve to prove the sincerity and disinterested ness of our conduct. " As an exclusively Catholic Power, Spain takes a deep interest iu all that concerns the Holy See ; but this interest, alien to any kind of political aspi ration, attaches purely and simply to the Holy Fa ther. Without doubting for a moment the just soli citude which animates Austria on behalf of the Su preme Head of the Catholic Church, it is neverthe less necessary to take into account that this Power has interests in the Italian peninsula of another kind, and this consideration would alone suffice to establish that the identity of views referred to in Count Mensdorff's despatch does not exist. " Neither can I accept the opinion stated by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, that the recognition of accomplished facts in Italy should render it more difficult for Spain to raise her voice on behalf of the Holy See. In the conduct hitherto followed by the Queen's Government one thing is positive, and that is that all our efforts have hitherto been ineffectual to attain the end we had in view. Besides, the re cognition of accomplished facts is not one of those theories never yet put into practice. " Spain and Austria have always followed this policy ; and, without going back to remote periods,. I will only revert to the fact that in 1830 and 1848 the two Powers recognised the facts accomplished in France after the fall of the two branches of the Bourbon family. " And coming down to a more recent period, it must not be forgotten that the Italian monarchy has been recognised by all Europe, with few exceptions, and that Austria herself has sanctioned the incor poration with the ancient kingdom of Piedmont of one of the finest provinces of the new kingdom of Italy. " The motives which have guided our conduct having been developed in the despatch addressed to her Majesty's Ambassador at Rome, fresh explana tions on this subject are not necessary ; and I should here conclude my despatch were it possible to pass over in silence the obstructions contained in the latter part of Count Mensdorff's despatch to the Austrian Charge d'Affaires. " I entirely share the opinion expressed by the Minister for Foreign Affairs of his Apostolic Majesty when he remarked that nothing was so delicate as to put forward an opinion on the interior situation of another Power. For this reason I should not consider myself authorised to offer observations upon the interior situation of the empire of Austria. Therefore, while recognising the friendly intentions by which Count Mensdorff has been guided, I ought, perhaps, to abstain from replying to views of which the Queen's Government must remain the sole judge. " M. de Mensdorff, however, insists so strongly that the warm friendship of Austria for Spain is the sole cause which has called forth upon his part reflec tions of this kind, that 1 think I ought in my turn to reply to the friendly sentiments displayed by this Minister by reassuring him as to the fears•he seems to entertain for the stability of the Queen's throne. For this purpose it is sufficient to refer to history. difference in our manner of considering this ques tion, the relations between the two States will con tinue to be as intimate and amicable as previously.

The second document is a circular addressed on the 20th September last to the diplomatic agents of Spain in foreign parts by the Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs. It is as follows : " Sir,—the Presse of Vienna and one or two Paris journals have published comments upon the subject of a despatch which Count Mensdorff forwarded to the Austrian Charge d'Affaires at Madrid, and which was read to me by that gentleman. " While some journals have considered this de spatch as being a formal protest against the recog nition of Italy by Spain, the Me'morial Di plomatique endeavours to interpret it as a measure adopted by the Cabinet of Vienna with the object of detaching Austrian policy from all the consequences which the attitude assumed by Spain and Austria might bring about, in virtue of the simultaneous notes handed by their agents to the French Government on May 28, 1861. " Both these views are inexact. In order to clear up to you all the circumstances referring to this matter, and to guide you in conversations you might have upon the subject with the Minister for Foreign Affitrs and the members of the Corps Diplomatique, I think it right to acquaint you with antecedents it will be necessary not to forget in case the question is brought forward. " The coincidence in the presentation of the two notes dwelt upon by the Memorial Diplomatique, and even the accord in which Spain and Austria acted at that period, were not able to create any species of engagement between the two Goveraments, and still less could they expressly or tacitly establish any pact whatever which might have bound together their political action. Spain as well as Austria remained at perfect liberty to act in future as their respective interests might counsel, without any tie which pre vented them taking up such an attitude in the ques tion as should best respond to their political views. " No reason, therefore, exists for disguising the responsibility of Austria in the consequences of the new position Spain has just taken up, as the steps adopted towards the French Government in 1861 have not only remained fruitless, but further, have not been able to create, as I have just pointed out, any cpecies of engagement as regards the ulterior policy of the two countries. " I imagine it is thus the Austrian Cabinet has understood the matter, because in the communica tion addressed by Count Mensdorff to the Charge d'Affaires at Madrid no allusion, direct or even indirect, is made to the steps of 1861. " The decision taken of recognising the kingdom of Italy having been announced by the Queen's Government, and that decision having been com municated to the Cabinet of Vienna by the presen tation made by the representative of Spain to Count Mensdorff, of a copy of a despatch I had addressed, under date of 26th June last, to her Majesty's Ambassador at Rome, the Emperor's Minister for Foreign Affairs thought proper to address to the Austrian Charge d'Affaires at Madrid a despatch he read to me, and which occasioned the comments of the press to which I have just alluded. " In this despatch Count Mensdorff observed that the first manifestation of the policy of the Cabinet presided over by the Duke of Tetuan had not answered the expectations of the Austrian Govern ment ; that he saw with regret the intention of Spain to modify her attitude in the question of Italy —a question upon which Count Mensdorff had been happy to believe there existed an identity of inte rests between the two countries ; but, notwithstand- . . ing the reserves with which the recognition of Italy had been surrounded by Spain, this fact of itself would suffice to bring the Spanish Government face to face with the question of Rome, upon a ground so different to that occupied by the Austrian Go vernment that their ulterior co-operation in a matter so important to both nations would become much more difficult ; that if the Spanish Government thought that in renewing its relations with Italy it placed itself in a position which permitted it to let its voice be heard and its influence to be felt in favour of the pontificate, the Imperial Government feared that it was, on the contrary, an illusion to expect that an act of condescension, such as the re cognition of the kingdom of of Italy, would succeed in giving greater weight to the action of Spain upon events which were going on in Italy, because, by accepting the principle in the name of which the Italian revolution has been accomplished, it became more difficult to oppose the consequences which might result. " Passing to other considerations, Count Mens dorff did not disguise his fear lest the triumph of the revolutionary principle in Italy should become a menace against the throne of the Queen ; and this disquiet was based upon the danger of a concession to the ideas endeavouring to propagate themselves in Europe, and which he doubted w ere onl y too widely spread in Spain. " Upon these considerations, and in consequence of the recognition of Italy by Spain, Count Mens dorff demanded if therewould not be ground to con test the expediency of an ac t which, sanctionin g the changes in the Italian p eninsula, would e ncourage those meditating s i m ilar acts, and if however, are the principles, pru dentmuch duetodiswreegaakrednedt,heanrdespievchtieh,owever, were too to it surest bulwark against anarchical passions. It sufficed, continued Count Mensdorff, to indicate these questions to recognise all their importance, and he deemed that the Spanish Government had doubtless given them all the attention to be desired. The Emperor's Minister concluded his despatch by protesting that these considerations were only sug gested to him by a feeling of friendly interest to wards Spain, and by the earnest desire he had to be in accord with her Majesty's Government upon a question so important to the two countries. " In order to respond to the frankness with which the Austrian Minister for Foreign Affairs expressed his opinion upon the subject of our intention to re cognise the kingdom of Italy, I deemed it expedient to address to the Queen's representative at Vienna the despatch, of which a copy is appended, and which I invited him to read to Count Mensdorff. This document will serve to acquaint you with the true character of the correspondence upon the matter in question ; it will enable you to see that neither has the Austrian Government protested against an act which is in the exclusive competence of the Spanish Government, nor have its observa tions given rise to any but frank explanations, of the cordial character which has always marked the friendly relations we maintain, and desire to main tain ' with the Vienna Cabinet.
