The Money Market is more active to-day, and the quotations are firmer. The best bills cannot be negotiated under the official minimum of 3i per ° ea. A few exceptional transactions have, how ever, taken place at 31 per cent. The . increased demand is caused by the large quantity of paper Which has been held in reserve for lower rates. 5 5,000 sovere i gns from Portugal were taken into the Bank yesterday, but 25,000 were withdrawn for transmission to that country. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have ap- Pointed Tuesday, the 6th of June, a special settling day in the shares of the Millwall Freehold Land and Dock Company, the price to be marked. At a meeti ng o f t h e shareholders of the Northern Assam Tea Company, yesterday, the capital was authorised to be increased to £400,000 by the issue of 25 ,000 B shares of £lO each. The recent acqui sition of the northern and eastern properties of the t Ass am Company a pp ears not on l y to h ave secured ,is C ompany all the finest indigineous tea land in that district, but from recent discoveries of coal on the c e states a consid era bl e access i on of revenue may be o oked f or.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mille pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.^0 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of .£3 179. lOad. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is at about the same price in London and Paris. the course of exchange at New York on London for bills st 50 days' sight is about 249 per cent., and the premium on gold 127 percent. At these r ates there is a small profit on the importa ion of go d fr m the United States. By advicis from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mars and the short exchange on London is 13.6 1 per £1 sttriin_ • standard gold at the English 'lint price is, therefore, *bout 10ths per cent. dearer inndon thin in Hamburg, 13.14 et at at 60 20 10 10 i 11 all 47} 7 32& . 4 si 8 74 4 13 8 , 1 108 40 1231 4 31 P 9 144 1 71 I;si 8 105 111 I P 1 103 i 3 37 7,qi 8 60 86J 6 100 10 ICO 10 100 FHE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 2, 18 ea, POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. jEWET.T.RRY ROBBERY AT A GOLDEIMITH'S.—MitTy Webb, a well-dressed female, who gave the address 25, New street, Birmingham, and described herself as a bonnet maker, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a bracelet and a pair of ear-rings of the value of £43, the property of Mr. Watherston, goldsmith, 12, Pall Mall East. Mr. Watherston, jun., said—About half-past six yester , day evening the prisoner came to my father's shop, 12, Pall Mall East, and looked at a quantity of jewellery. She then selected a bracelet and a pair of ear-rings, and a neck lace and a pair of ear-rings, desiring that they should be sent to No. 23, Oxford-terrace this afternoon, when those approved of would be paid for. The prisoner then left the shop, and my father, having a suspicion of her, sent the porter to see which way she went. Directly after I missed a bracelet of the value of £l3, and a pair of ear-rings of the value of £3O. The porter shortly after returned to the shop, and said he had seen the prisoner talking to a person in the street, and my father then sent the porter after the prisoner, who was just getting into a cab, and she was brought back. As soon as the prisoner got into the shop she bundled up to the counter and dropped the two cases produced, one containing the earrings, and the other the bracelet. Mr. Tyrwhitt—You are sure you saw her drop them ? Witness—l am. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Did they drop on the floor or on the counter ? Witness—On tho counter. On my telling her that she had dropped the articles she denied doing so. My father, who had gone after the prisoner, having returned to the shop, gavl the prisoner into custody, when she again denied having touched the articles. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Are the earrings produced those you missed ? Witness—They are. They had been shown to her as well as the bracelet amongst other articles, but they were not those she selected to be sent to Oxford-terrace. Robert Stokes, 226 A—On prosecutor charging the pri soner with stealing the articles she denied doing so. Sergeant Huntley, 32 A, asked for a remand, stating that he wished to make inquiries respecting the prisoner, who had given an address in Birmingham. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EPSOM RACES, JUNE 1. A poor card and a racecourse denuded of all the attri butes of yesterday's festival brought but a comparatively small number to the Downs to-day, and the attendance was of a purely business character. Conversation was, of course, chiefly on the great event, and the general opinion was that Gladiateur's performance, and the way he "came" when Grimshaw called upon him opposite the stand, was one of the most magnificent sights ever seen in Derby history. One gratifying trait was the cordial cheering which the victory of the French horse el!cited. No tinge of ill feel ing mingled with the hearty congratulations Count de Lagrange received from all quarters. The Prince of Wales was forward in complimenting him, and an invitation from his Royal Highness to dine at Marlborough-house to morrow was a fitting expression of the entente cordiale be tween the two countries. The racing to-day was poor. The French stable was again in the ascendant in the Two-yr-old Stakes with Fleurette, who defeated two great favourites in Efferves cence and Mi3tletoo rather cleverly. Christmas Carol looking rather stale after his yesterday's race still had no difficulty in disposing of Brahma and Soumise. Caller Ou is not in form this year. She was beaten easily . by Breeze for the Queen's Plate, and Zephyr in conse quence advanced a point for the race to-morrow. The Oaks betting was only remarkable for the spirit with which the two favourites, Wild Agnes and Siberia, were backed. The former had a decided call at the com mencement of racing, but was soon run to a head by. the Duke's filly, who was reported free from the influenza which has played such havoc with the Danebury stable. They were about equal favourites towards the close, at 100 to 30. White Duck was backed for a little at 710 1, and Zephyr after the last race improved hea position, but still speculation was far from brisk.

When the flag was lowered, Mistletoe on the upper ground, with Fleurette on her right, was seen in advance, closely attended by Tina, in the centre of the course William Pitt and Czarewitch. They ran thus nearly in a line to the stand, where the French representative drew in advance, and with Mistletoe and Czarewitch finished a close race home, Fleurette winning rather cleverly at last by a length ; a like distance separated the second and third.

The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. . _ LOCAL GOVERNMENT SUPPLEMENTARY ACT (No. 4) BILL. - This bill was read a third time and passed. WRITS REGISTRATION (SCOTLAND) BILL. The LORD-ADVOCATE moved that the house go into committee on this bill. Mr. DUNLOP opposed the motion, and moved that the bill be referred to a select committee. He objected to the proposition of the Lord Advocate to abolish the local re gisters and to keep up one general register in Edinburgh. In his opinion it would be much more advantageous to abolish the general and to maintain the local registers. This was the only point in dispute, and he regretted that the Scotch members had not been able to settle the matter lip stairs without further appeal to the house. He thought that the present was not a time when the bill could be fairly considered ; and therefore, in his opinion, it would better to withdraw the bill altogether and rein troduce it in the new Parliament. Sir J. FERGUSON seconded the motion. Lord H. SCOTT hoped the house would go into com mittee on the bill, in preference to adopting the motion of the hon. member for Greenock, which would, in fact, amount to a rejection of the bill altogether. (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF LORDS—LAST EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at the usual hour. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a second time :—South Devon Railway ; London, Chatham, and Dover Railway (No. 2) ; London, Chatham, and Dover Railway (No. 1); London and South-WeStern Railway (Additional Powers); Mid Wales Railway (Eastern Extension) ; West Hartle pool Harbour and Railway, and Cleveland and North Eastern Railway ; Sutherland Railway ; Tooting, Merton, and Wimbledon Extension Railway ; Wilt shire Railway ; West Sussex Junction Railway ; General Terminus and Glasgow Harbour and Caledo nian Railway Companies ; Dunblane, Donne, and Callen der and Scottish Central Railway Companies, and Shrews bury and Potteries Junction Railway. . _ The following bills were read a third time and passed : —Belfast Central Railway, Weald of Kent Railway, Scot tish and North-Eastern Railway, Maryport and Carlisle Railway, London and South-Western(New Lines in Surrey), London and South Western Railway (Tor:ington Exten sion), Carnarvon New Water, Hastings and St. Leonard's Gas. METROPOLITAN SEWAGE AND ESSEX RECLA MATION BILL. On the motion for the third reading of this bill, Lord DENMAN moved that the bill be read a third time that day six months. He contended that this bill if passed, would have a very injurious effect on the metro polis and the neighbourhood, and quoted the opinion of Baron Liebeg and other eminent chemists in support of his views. He said that the house would be lending itself to a most dangerous experiment if they sanctioned it. Lord REDESDALE defended the bill, and said it was a most unusual course to reject a bill of the third reading. The Earl of HARDWICKE oppose the bill, which he denounced as a perilous speculation, which had been ob jected to by one of the most celebrated agricultural che mists of the day. After a few words from Lord CHURSTON, The house divided on the question that the bill be read a third time. Contents Non-contents Majority --45 The bill was then read a third time and passed. Hfs Royal Highness the Prince of Wales voted in favour of the bill. ROLLE'S ESTATE. It was moved by Lord REDESDALE that the 141st standing order of the house should be dispensed with in the case of this bill. The motion was agreed to. PUBLIC HOUSES CLOSING ACT (1864) AMEND- MENT BILL. Lord CHELMSFORD presented a petition frem persons employed in several printing offices in favour of the bill. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE moved the second reading of the bill, words being introduced to meet special cases. After a few words from Earl Granville and Lord Redes daie, the . bill, with the amendments, was read a secondtime. SEWAGE UTILIZATION BILL. The bill, with some amendments, passed through com mittee.

DOUGLAS—With reference to the answer given by Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer to the Secretary to the Treasury, to que3tion 2,104, put by the chairman of the committee on Mr. Edmunds' resignation, as appears in the evidence which has been communicated to this house, moved for a return of the names of all public officers who (under the acts 8 and 4 Will. 4, cap. 84, and 5 and 6 Will. 4, cap. 47, or any other of the forty Acts spoken of by the Secretary to the Treasury), had during the last ten years sent in their accounts to the proper department ; stating the date when such accounts were sent in, under what authority, and by what officer such accounts were examined and passed, with dates of their being passed, and, if any were not passed, stating the rea sons ; also the dates at which a quittance was rendered to each officer; and of all officers, if any, who have made no return under any of the said acts or other authority. The return was ordered. THE SECRETARY FOR WAR. Mr. D. GRIFFITHS gave notice that to-morrow he should put a question to the First Lord of the Treasury with reference to the inconvenience of the absence of the Secretary for War in the House of Commons. CANADA. Mr. "WARNER gave notice that to-morrow he should ask whether there was any truth in the statement which has appeared in the Owl--(laughter)---stating that a perfect understanding had been come to between her Majesty's Government and the Canadian delegates. If such was the case he should also ask when the particulars of the under taking could be communicated to the house ? • CHINA. Col. SYKES said to-morrow he should ask a question relative to the state of affairs in China, and the effect of the nsurrection on the imports and exports of that country. THE MARCH FROM MHOW. Sir M. FARQUHAR asked the Secretary of State for India whether his attention had been drawn to a state ment which had lately appeared in the newspapers with reference to the casualties which befel a detachment of Royal Artillery, ordered on the 11th of April last to set out on a march from Mhow to Kirkee ; and whether ho had received any report on the subject. Sir 0. WOOD said ho had no official report, of the me lancholy event, but it was no doubt true the casualties were not confined to the troops, but many women and chilthen fell victims, as it was a very usual thing for a great many followers to accompany a regiment in its march. The march, however, had been countermanded by telegram, IRISH LOTTERIES. In reply to Mr. NEWDEGATE, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said his attention had been directed to steps taken by certain charitable institu tions to increase their funds by issuing lottery tickets. The issuing of such tickets were illegal, unless they come within the Art Union Act, on which he gave no opi nion. To justify a prosecution charges must bo made against individuals, and those charges supported by evi dence, THE WAR IN BHOOTAN. Sir M. FARQUHAR asked the Secretary of State.for India what inforniation he could give the house concern, ing the war in Bhootan. Sir C. WOOD said certain posts were occupied during the winter ; one had been attacked and disgracefully abandoned. They had retaken it, but it was not thought desirable to re-occupy it. Another post had been aban doned, but it also had been retaken, but it would not be reoccupied during the rainy season. The information he had received enabled him to comprehend but very im perfectly what had been done. The whole of the Euro pean troops, with the exception of a small body of artillery, had been withdrawn, and every precaution had been taken to meet the rainy season. . . PIERS AND HARBOURS BILL. In reply to Mr. WALDEGRAVE-,LESLIA Mr. M. GIBSON said the undertaking was quite the same as it always had been in the department referred to. With respect to the bill he could not say whether the promoters would proceed with it. CONVOCATION. In answer to Mr. SHAW LEFECHE, Sir G. GREY said no licence had yet been granted by the Crown to the Convocation of Canterbury to alter the form of subscription now taken by the clergy. It having been intimated to Government that Convocation contem plated some alteration with reference to clerieal subscription, the Government informed that body that if they applied to her Miljesty for a license to do so no opposition to such a step would be offered by the Government. The Convo cation of the province of York had asked the same privi lege as Canterbury. BANK NOTES OP ISSUE BILL. Mr. BENTINCK asked when it was proposed to pro ceed with the further consideration of this bill. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was not the intention of the Government to proceed further with that measure during the present session. SUPPLY. The house went into committee of supply, and agreed to several votes on account of the Civil Service. On the vote of £518,017., the remainder of the grant for public education, Mr. H. BRUCE stated that the total exeenditure on this account during the last year amounted to £655,041; of which £23,305 was for building grants and the•enlarge ment and improvement of schools, £451,000 for elementary education, £96,000 for training schools, and £74,000 for the cost of inspection and the office in London. The average daily attendance of scholars had been 794,000, the number of schools inspected, 7,891, and the number of children inspected 1,133,000, as against 1,092,000 in the plevious year, showing an increase of 40,000. The number of scholars presented for individual examination was 523,713, being equivalent to two presented for every three attending school. The number of failures amongst those examined was, in reading 12 per cent., and in arithmetic 24 per cent. This was a slight improvement as compared with the percentage of the preceding year. The estimate for the current year would include £73,000 for Scotland, £430,000 for England, £30,000 for building grants, £BO,OOO for normal schools, and £76,000 cost of inspection and manage ment. Mr. SELWYN expressed surprise at the omission from the statement of the right hou. gentleman of all reference to the question raised by the innovations of the Committee of Council, contrary to the regulation, wish respect to grants made to schools in connection with the National Society. The subject was one which ought to be met in a conciliatory spirit by both sides ; but he could not help saying that in his opinion the proceelings of the Council were open to exception, because without the knowledge or sanction of the house important alterations hadbeen intro duced, involving a question of principle. Mr. BRUCE stated in explanation that he had omitted to refer to this subject, because it was still under the con sideration of a select committee. The vote was then agreed to. A proposal of Mr. POTTER to reduce the item of L 36,500 in the vote for the Department of Science and Art by the sum of £l,OOO in respect of the National Art Training School led to some discussion, in the course of which the project of the Government to coneentrat3 the natural his tory collection at South Kensington was severely criticised and condemned on all sides, as a measure that would effec tually shut out the great mass of the working people of London from visiting the exhibition. Mr. DILLWYN complained of the item of £lO,OOO for the purchase of specimens of art for the South Kensington Museum, and observed that that institution was not con ducted by persons of distinction either in science or art, and that it was little more than a collection of odds and ends resembling Wardour-street on a large scale. Mr. BRUCE,in defending the vote, produced statistics to show that the working classes availed themselves largely of the museum. • Other members described the contents of the museum as "a collection of rubbish," and Mr. COX excited great laughter by pronouncing it an exhibition of warm:ng-pans and hurdygurdies, and stating that for the purpose of making it appear that the institu- tion was popular the officials at South Kensing'.on kept persons dressed as mechanics to pass in and out through the turnstiles all day long, and afterwards paraded them in the statistics as working men from Whitechapel and Bethnal-green. Mr. LAYAIID dilated on the beneficial influence which the Kensington Museum had excited in stimulating in 'ention and improving manufactures. There was not a country in Europe that did not resound with praise of our great institutions, and especially of the Kensington Museum. (A rema:k which provoked a general cry of " oh.") He was ashamed of the terms in which Mr. Cox bad spoken of that institution. Mr. SCULLY observed that if the museum at Kensing ton was dezigned for the benefit of the working classes it ought to be established in the neighbourhood where they chiefly abound. Mr. WHITE said ho had visited the miniature collec tion at Kensington that day, and the visit had done his heart good ; but upon inquiry he was told that a sum of ss. was charged for the catalogue, and he !thought that anything more Barnum-like or so little characteristic of a Government collection it would be difficult to parallel. Mr. COX intimated that he was just as much ashamed of Mr. Layard as a metropolitan member advocating the Kensington Museum in the interests of working men as that gentleman could be ashamed of him for condemning the removal of the costly contents of the British Museum to a site where access to them woald be almost exclu- sively limited to the " Upper Ten Thousand." Mr. GREGORY admitted the value of the South Ken sington Museum as an educat:onal insatution, but com plained that unauthorised and incompetent persons had made purchases, which had afterwards turned out to be undoubted forgeries. He contended that no purchase ought to be made until it had been first reported upon by the officers within whose jurisdiction it came. Mr. BRUCE remarked that the museum at Kensington was the only public exhibidon which was kept open at night for the working classes. With regard to the cata logue, arrangements were being made to place a descrip tion upon every miniature in the course of a few days. Upon a division, the motion of Mr. Potter was nega tived by 80 to 16. Mr. DILLWYN next moved the omission of the item of xi,; , 000 for the purchase of specimens of art, ancient and modern, for the South Kensington Museum which he added had beeL; got up by stealth and grown,by fraud. A short discussiOn ensued, and the committee again divided, when Mr. Dillstryn's proposal was rejected by 81 to 24 ; and the vote of £116, 1 '341 for the general manage- ment of the Department of Science and Art, and the esta- blishments connected therewith, was agreed to. The house then resumed. The Record of Titles (Ireland) Bill was committed, and some progress made with the clauses. The remaining orders of the day, numbering upwards of forty, were then gone through, and the house adjourned at ten minutes past two. WES TMINS TER ALLEGED GROSS MISCONDUCT OF THE POLICE.-Mr. Henry Ebislett, a person of very gentlemanly appearance and address, was charged with being drunk and assaulting the police. Police-constable Hickson, 191 B, said that at 11 o'clock last night he found the defendant and a prostitute talking together loudly in Grosvenor-row. He told them to move on, when the woman did so, but the defendant refused, declaring that he was a gentleman, and that if the. con stable interfered with him he would throw him into the Thames. He then struck witness a blow 'in the chest, and afterwards kicked him violently. Another constable, named Cox, said he found them struggling on the ground. George Ferman, a plain clothes constable, gave similar testimony. Defendant walked quietly to the station; he was drunk. Defendant entreated the magistrate to hear him atten tively, and said that nothing could be more frightful than this charge ; and if the police could not perform their office with more justice and honesty they had better cease to exist altogether. He had been drinking, it was true, but was within eight yards of his own house, and opposite it, when the constable Hickson said to him " You go on from here." As he was walking at the time, and had com mitted no offence, he was naturally indignant, and made use of strong language. He was then seized and taken to the station, after Ferman, without the least provocation, had struck him a violent blow. Ho (defendant) saw no prostitute, and never spoke to one, nor was it likely when scarcely more than half a dozen yards from home. Mr. Selfe, in allusion to tho past, said that Kirkson was a man whose testimony ho should like to have confirmed. Ue should dismiss the charge of assault, but as defendant, upon his own showing, was intoxicated, he should fine him ss. THAMES. FEROCIOUS DOGS.—Edward Thompson, a labourer, who was very lame and ill, came before Mr. Partridge to com plain that be had been bitten by a ferocious dog, belonging to a man named John Smith, of No. 33, Essex-street, Com mercial-road. The applicant was prssing along the street and a dog flew at him and bit his leg severely. Howland, No. 89 H, an officer of the court, said that a summons against Smith was granted by Mr. Paget. It was made returnable yesterday and Smith did not appear. The man was suffering from the bite, and could not attend to his occupation. Mr. Partridge desired the man to exhibit his wounded leg if he could do so without danger to himself The man complied with the magistrate's request, and exhibited a very angry wound on his leg. Mr. Partridge said the wound was a very bad one and enough to excite the worst fears. He issued a warrant for the apprehension of the owner of the dog, and directed Howland to execute it directly if possible. A poor woman, leading a little. girl with its eyebrow lacerated, complained that it had been bitten by a dog. She could not find the owner. Her child had been under medical treatment and was very ill. The eye was in danger. The magistrate regretted he could not not interfere in this case, and directed the applicant to give information at the station-house of the district where the child w as bitten. If the owner could be found, a summons would be imme diately granted. The numerous dogs in the streets un muzzled, and many without owners, were a great public nuisance and very dangerous. The poor woman was assured by the police-constables in attendance that everything possible would be done to find the owner of the dog. MARKETS---This Day. MARK-LANE. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our market to-day were moderate. The demand for most qualities ruled far from active, nevertheless a fair proportion of the supply was disposed of at Monday's decline in the quo tations. With foreign wheat the market was but moderately sup plied. Generally speaking the trade ruled quiet, at late rates. Floating cargoes of grain were in but moderate request on former terms. Barley, the supply of which on sale:was very moderate, moved off steadily, at full quotations. Malt made a slow sale, at late rates. There was a good supply of oats on the stands, and most qualities were in fair demand, at about Monday's currency. Beans and peas ruled firm, at full prices. For flour there was a fair demand, at about stationary prices. ARRIVALS THIS WES/L. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour. English and Scotch-2,940 210 1,720 1,470 1,250 _ .

The Department of Science an d A rt, with the aid of a committee of noblemen a n d gentlemen, known as the hereditary possessors of works in MiniatUre, or as connoisseurs and collectors, have in less than three months got together such a collection of Miniatures as has never before been assembled. The, collection was opened for private view yesterday. It includes more than 3,000 examples of-the highest interest; in enamel; oil and water-colour, chalk and• pencil, by the leading Miniaturists from the IGth century down to the present day. - England is rich beyond all other countries in such works, and the internal quiet the country has en:- joyed for the, last four centuries—only partially broken as respects the succession to family wealth -and honours even by the two revolutions which England has gone through within that period—has allowed of a continuous accumulation of these trea= sures such as has been possible in no other country. All the finest family collections seem to have been freely opened to the Department of Art and the committee ; and the masterpieces thus brought toge ther are displayed with admirable effect in • two of the handsome rooms lately opened . at Kensington. Considering the short time in which the collection has been made, arranged, and catalogued, the organizers of the exhibition deserve great credit for the way in which they . have managed the business. The only drawback of the collection —as we feel painfully when called upon to give a notice of it on the spur of the moment—is its abounding riches. It is only possible to do justice to such an exhibition after many. days' study, and the present notice, ne cessarily written after a few hours' examination, can only be a the most cursory kind. The great interest of the collection, apart from its instructiveness to artists and thoSe who wish to make a critical study of - miniature art, is historical. We have here, in little, a gallery embracing almost every notable figure in the social, political, and literary life of England from the reign of Elizabeth, and throwing light in a variety of ways upon man ners, family history, the relations of parties and per sons, the scandals, friendships, and fashions, which makes up the warp and woof of the canvas on which the historian works his larger pictures. The styles of the successive schools of miniature reflect the times as much as the personages painted. From the earnest gravity, and unaffected, unadorned truth of Holbein, whose intense grasp of character is as ap parent in the jewel-mounted card of three inches in diameter as in the life-size canvass, we pass to the dainty finish of Nicholas Hilliard, in whose marvel lous elaboration of dresses and ornaments we see the influence of a Queen, whose feminine love of brave apparel and manly beauty were as keen as if she had not been one of the keenest politicians and most active sovereigns who ever filled a throne, and thence through the Olivers and Hoskins, on to the revival of a graver and plainer taste, embodied inithe noble heads of Cooper. The style that fitted the grim times of the Commonwealth gradually disappears to give place to the courtly grace of perriwigged courtiers and the lavish display •of loose-robed feminine charms by Petitot and the French school, which was on the ascendant on the revolution of 1688 ; and this again is succeded by the more native strength of our early academicians, Hone and Cotes, Meyer and Ozias Humfrey, and the enamellers who worked after Reynolds, till the affected and luscious"taste of the Regency culmi nates in Cosway, Smart, and Shelley, and gradu ally gives place to the familiar style of our own Ross and Newton and the higher refinement of Thorburn, Moira, and Wells. And now the work of the miniature painter seems to have been handed over to the sun, and the photo grapher appears likely soon to be the only painter in little. If this collection does nothing else, it will show how much such a consummation leaves to be re gretted. For we may here learn that art on a small scale may be fine art in the truest sense of the term ; and before some of these true Holbeins and Hil liards, and these inimitable Coopers —never equalled by anything on the same scale for character and largeness of style, and not surpassed, in these re spects, by the best portraits of Vandyke himself—. we must admit that the mind as well as the hand of the artist is just as necessary to produce fine minia ture portraiture as to paint fine historical pictures. Among the richest cases and contributions in vari ous styles may be mentioned Lord Cremorne's (A) for its enamels by Hurter, and its Petitots, father and son, in which last, however, the collections of Mr. John Jones, Mr. Holford, and the Due d'Aumale are richer still ; those of Mr. Samuel Ad dington (3U4 to 319) for Antonio Mores, Hilliards, and Coopers ; those of Mr. Magniac for Holbeins, llilliards, and Mores ; those of Mr. Charles Polhin and Mr. John Berners and the Duke of Devonshire for portraits of the Cromwell family, and other nota bilities of the Commonwealth, many of them by Cooper ; those of Mr. J. Heywood llawkins for . . small heads in oil of the 16th and 17th centuries, some by Hoskins, Oliver, Jansen, Gerbier, and many not to be identified with any particular painter, but most of them of singular merit ; those of Lord Bos ton, for two Holbeins of the rarest quality (1,011 and 1,029), and a number of others, hardly inferior, but too long to enumerate. Of family collections, here are selections from the unrivalled miniature gallery of the Duke of Damien* embracing all styles of miniature art and all classes of notables n the people painted ; from that of th e Sp encers , _ _ remarkable for its value in illustration of the Marlborough family and its branches, and of the whole Spencer connexion; of the Duke of Richmond and the Earl of Abingdon ; of the Earl of Gosford, of equal interest for illustration of art and the family history; of Mr. Alexander Trotter, contain- ing such curious "Jacobite relics" as the portraits _ _ by Sir Robert Strange of the young Chevalier, the Countess of Albany, and Cardinal York, of his own wife and children, his wife's father, Mr. William Lumsden, who was " out in the '45," and, in strange juxtaposition with all these, the miniature of George 111., taken when the Jacobite painter had become a favourite engraver at Court. Hopeless, at present, of giving anything like even a comprehensive outline of all that is to be found of especial value in these 3,000 minatures, we may refer to single examples of such interest as the por- trait of Charles I. (1,064), set in the King's hair, dipped in blood on the scaffold, an heirloom in the Shelly family, and which belonged to John Winck ley, executed at Lancaster Castle with the Earl of Der wenwater after the rising of 1715. On the back of this relic are engraved the names of the family, who rose again far the Stuarts in 1745, and the Dowager Lady Shelley, to whom it was be peathed by 1.! er father, a Winckley of B rockholes, or Lancas ter, remembers to have wor n it when a child on some J aco bit e anniversary about 1790 . Against this we may m set the miniature, after Cooper, in enamel, a (351), presented by him to hi s d aug h ter, with General authentic Cromwell pfßrorerittdorganei Cromwell,tts oft (332),he arndo t e o ac n t joi h ru, e mi r nbeeirti marriagedo ifincluding other the Crewe one, left by Sir Joshua Reynolds to Burke. Here, lent by Miss Ouvry, is the miniature of Emma, Lady Hamilton, taken from the neck of Nelson after his death. Here (987 and 988), side by side, from the hand of the same painter, Isabey - , hang Napoleon and the Duke of Wellington, contributed by Lord Cowley ; and a little further on, the portraits of Louis Napoleon and the Empress Eugdnie, presented to Lord Cowley by the Emperor, in commemoration of the Congress of Paris in 1856. And here, lent by Captain D. Damar, M.P., is a curious series of re cords from the hand of Cosway of an ill-fated and ill-requited attachment—portraits of Mrs. Fitzher bert and the Prince ; miniatures of her eye and his, once, no doubt, interchanged, and their wedding ring, with the name of George Augustus Frederick, engraved within the hoop. We have said enough to indicate, and we can at present do no more than indicate, the extraordinary wealth and interest of this collection, which will, no doubt, form one of the chief art attractions of the season, and which reflects th e hig hest credit on all con cernedin getting it together and arranging it.— Tim es CRYSTAL PALACE. —At the Opera Concert to morrow Mille.
