J u our ad vocac y o f a Financial Reform , it will be seen that we do seek to confer a privilege upon one class, at the expense of an other; but in our transactions, to apply principles of such sterling va lue and univ ersa l import as must prove, In the fullest sense of the I'M . equally advantageous to all. We seek , in fact , to reduce, not the income, but the expenditure, of every individual. How th is ma y be effected the following outline of our aevel, yet well appreelated bushiess system, will readily show. POSSESSING LARGE ESTABLISHMENTS In most of the principal towns in Great Britain, our concentrated purchases are necessarily very extensive ; from this cause we are enabled to obtain materials direct from the manufacturers, for cash, at prices considerably lower than the average. Our garments are de signed and cut by talented artists, and manufactured by experienced Workmen ; our profits are calculated at a nominal per-centage upon original cost, and the price is marked on every garment, in plain gures, from which no deviation is allowed. These facts, together with the accommodation afforded by the exchange of garments not approved after-purchase, afford advantages to our patrons such as have scan seldom, if ever, elsewhere presented, enabling them to effect a reduction in their expenditure, at least in the item "Clothing' of not less, than 40 per cent., as the following brief rice llat will iOstif'y t 6 ' REIDY MADE. s. d.

L. HYAM, Proprietor. E. A A -3 1 One half the world are desolately single, and the other Se PPosing them married, questionably contented. Difndence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes e m- Litter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un vosaprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacit), and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. honour and justice demand that health should form an item in the compact ; it alone diguifies the alliance. Bligietod hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if these surmises concern you, procure Pr.

The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify. HALF PRE NI lUM SYSTEM. -By this plan only one-half of the premiums. with interest of the retained halves, is required to be p dd for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As surance may be relinquished at any time without payment of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate, and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice. WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits. Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur. PA RTN ER-HIP POLIC I ES are granted, whereby ajoint assurance effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in vested.

FIRE AT LIMNER'S HOTEL.—Yesterday morning, at an early hour, considerabie alarm was► caused in George•street, Hanover-square, in consequence of a fire breaking out in the extensive pile of premises belong.. ing to Mr. Charles Renaud, termed Limmer's Hotel. the flames commenced iu the second floor front, occupied as a sleeping apartment. The firemen succeeded in con fining the flames to that portion ot the property in which they originated, but not until nearly the whole of the bedding and furniture in the room were destroyed. The outbreak was caused from a spark flying out ot a lighted candle, and tailing upon the bed-curtains. Mr. Renaud was insured in the Sun Fire-office.

Sir Bladen Lapel, Commander-in-Chief of this port, on Wednes day morning at nino o'clock, to try Mr. Rattray, gunner of the Blenheim steam guard-ship, acting Stevens, on a charge of drunkenness. Captain J. A. The Basilisk and Niger experimental steam sloops, under the command of Captain H. T. Austen, C 8., are hourly expected to return here, having left Penzance on the 6th. Wind—N.E., moderate, and'cloudy weather. PLYMOUTH, JUNE 9.—Her Majesty's packet Pen guin was towed by the Confiance steam-vessel: from Hamoeze into the Sound, and sailed fur Falmouth on Thursday, Her Majesty's brig Hound, Commander Granville H. Woed, is ordered home from the West Indies to be paid off et this port. In the Dockyard, George Graton, shipwright, has been superannteded on 24/, per annum; John Rees, ship wright, on 23/.; John Fowell, first-class fireman of smiths, 34/.; and John Williams, labourer, on 101. The works of the Niobe, 26, building at this yard, have so far progressed that she is nearly ready for launching. She is to be fitted for ordinary. The Ringdove, 16. built in 1833, 429 tons, is ordered to be broken up at Devonport. She is one of Sir W. Symond's ships. The Pack.t-ehip American Eagle.—The removal of the sick passengers from ; this ship to the hulk has proved, decidedly advantageous. Only one death, a young English girl, aged twelve, has occurred since Thursday. The report, to-day, of Mr. Francis Fox, the active surgeon in charge on board her Majesty's ship Tyne, says, " There are no new cases of confirmed cholera since Thursday morning. Diarrhea still con tinues. Tho two cases (cholera) undsr treatment at last. report are proceeding favourably." The entire mortality from Sunday last, when the Eagle left Portsmouth, is me lye, viz , four in the Channel and eight in the Sound; only one of the latter was caused by sickness, which be gan after the vessel entered the port. • Dr. Sutherland, Government medical inspector, exa mined the American Eagle this morning, and the Board of Health bite sent instructions to the guardians of the peor,of the borough of Plymouth to see that the ship is properly cleansed sod fumigated before she leaves the port. Mean time, the American Consul, Mr. T. W. Fox, has andel phted this order. It is, however, proper to state that the steerage accommodations for passengers on board the American Eagle, which is bound to New York, are by no means equal to those on board the emigration ships which ate so constantly leaving this port for the Aus tralian colonies. A few deaths from cholera have occurred during the last fortnight at the small village of Noss, eight miles distant, but the sickness there is gradually diminishing. In the town of Plymouth the registrar of births and deaths says, " The mortality at this period is pectiliarly light, and it has been decreasing in amount for some time past, an evident proof that the general health is good." Light southerly wind; fine weather. • THE CHOLERA AT PLYMOUTH. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,— rhe Mayor of Plymouth has requested me send you a local paper containing an accurate ac count of the appearance of the cholera in this vicinity, as the number of deaths reported in your paper of yesterday exceeds all that have occurred from the time the ship left Portsmouth to the present hour, the total of that number being only 12. There are several cases of diarrhoea on board, but I am happy to be informed that there is not at present any decided case of cholera. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, - CHARLES 4.

DRURY-LANE THEATRICAL FUND. The anniversary festival of, the Drury-lane Theatrical Fund was held at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen street, yesterday evening. when about 180 gentlemen sat down to a sumptuous dinner. The Duke of Beaufort occupied the chair, in the absence of his Royal Highness the Duke of Catnbridge,who was p-evented from attend ing by his Royal Highness's weak state of health. There was a very full attendance of the patrons and friends of the national drama, and the proceedings of the evening proved satisfactorily the • continued interest in a society founded by the late David Garrick in 1766, and incorporated by Act of Parliament in 1775," for the relief and support of indigent and decayed members of her Majesty's Company of Comedians (subscribers to the same), their widows, and children." The musical arrangements were under the excellent direction of Mr. ,Sterndale Bennett, assisted by a number of vocalists of high reputation, among whom Herr Rilman Muller, Mr. Le ffl er, Mr:Charles Braham, Mr. G. Genge (whose admirable singing was cheered to the very echo), Miss Eliza Nelson, and others. Mr. Sedgwick performed two solos on the concertina, which were enthusiastically and deservedly applauded. The usual loyal toasts having been given ex cdthedra and duly responded to, Captain CHAPPELL, R.N., who had returned thanks on behalf of the army and navy, next gave " The health of their Noble Chairman, the Duke of Beaufort," who bad always evinced the liveliest interest in the welfare of the Drury-lane Theatrical Fund.—(Hear, hear.) Drank with honours. The Noble CHAIRMAN briefly ackcowledged the com pliment, and then pruceedvd to give the toast of the evening, in doing which he "said he was happy at any circumstance which brought hini in contact with thw members of a profession which was one of the most re si,ectahle in the community.—(tlear, hear.) The Noble Duke con&uded by giving, " Prosperity to the Drury lane Theatrical Fund, in conjunction with the health of Mr. HArley, the treasurer, and those who bad worked in conjunction with him "—(Great cheering.) Mr. HARLEY, in rising to respond to the toast, was re ceived with enthusiastic cheering for some moments. When order had been restored he spoke as follows: May it pleaae you my Lord Duke, my Lords, and Gen tlemen—lf, on the present occasion, I speak by*the card —(Laughter)—it is because I have a particular one to play, which, in the playing, requires more than common conciseness and correctness. It has been the uniform practice of him on whom devolved the honour of ad dressing you in reply to the last toast—(so eloquently given, and so cordially responded to)—to speak of the British stage as an intellectual and refined amusement, recessing its tone from, and giving its tone to, a noble, enlightened, and generous people, and, const quently, to enlist your sympathy in behalf of its professors, whom old age, premature decay, or adverse fortune, had com pelled to a licit your benevolence.—(Cheers.) That these imperfect, but earnest appeals have hitherto been crowned with success, very many of your histrionic fa vourites can bear ample and grateful testimony. The downward path of their declining years has been smoothed by your bounty. Ad that was necessary to say upon this subject. having from time to time, been said, I shall not travel over the statue ground again, much less introduce any lachrymose rewa , ks on the altered condition of the British stage, which has ren dered these annual appeals somewhat perplexing, if not painful, to the speaker. It is an old adage, that to be poor, and to look poor, is very sad. Now, I would humbly suggest, that to be accounted over rich, and ►o csmparatively poor, is infinitely more sad.—(Laughter.) Let the Drury-lane Theatrical Fund bear me witness. Its cash-box, by some fabulous misconception, has been magnified into a California in miniature.—(Laughter.) I shall, therefore, not consider it infra dig—(Renewed laughter)—to dispel, not by figures of speech, but of arithmetic, this pleasant delusion. For an oration I beg leave to substitute an account, and, in moving for the supplies, to cast off Comedy for Cocker.—(Laughter.) Now for a public peep into our presumed Potosi. I must look sharp after this superabundant balance, for I shrewdly suspect that modest item will be very shy of showing itself. The annual income derived from the various property belonging to this plethoric fund—(A laugh) —amounts to 1,353/. 10s., to which is to be added the also yearly sum of 195/.los. 2d., received from thirty six subscribing members (some old favourites, mark), making a sum total (pray cheque me, as I proceed) of 1,549/. Os. 2d. Touching the per contra (there are al ways two sides of a question!) to fifteen annuitants, varying in age from fifty to ninety, we pay the yearly sum of 974/. 95., making their average income 651. (not, we lain hope, too liberal a modicum for the veterans whose best days have been assiduously de voted to your service), leaving an overplus of 5741. I Is. 21. to meet incidental charges (which, with the strictest economy, exceed 150/. annually), and to relieve non-subscribers, whose sharp necessities have long been, and still are, pressing upon our resources. Whatever balance remained, after these deductions, was added to our capital, in order to provide for additional claims that are constantly occurring, from subscribers being com pelled to avail themselves of this fund. In proot of my assertion, we are in expectation of having very speedily, it not immediately, six more annuitants to pay, which will be a further yearly demand upon us of 4761. What, then, will remain for actual charges and incidentai charity? On these two accounts we shall be te,sitively minus if deprived of . your benevolence, and our only a;-- tentative wilt be either to reduce very considerably the present and future annuities, or to trench upon our copi ed. These anniversaries have a twofold object, to en• able your almoners to iucreose the too frugal comforts o. their annuitants, by appealing to your benevolence, anal to bring together, in festive harmony, the drama', patrons. That we have not on former occasions furnished you with a dry financial detail, but simply asked your credence, was not because there was anything to conceal, as this statement will. I hope, fully bear out, but their having been bruited abroad sundry brobtlignagisn reports—(Laughter)— (would they were fact, not fiction) of our monster means, I take the liberty of presenting this plain tale of pounds, shillings, and pence, in order to put them down. The continued patronage of our most. gracious Sove reign, and her munificent donation of 501.—(Cheers) — have this day been awarded us, both of which favours we receive with deep gratitude; and without presuming too much upon our humble deserts, may we not fairly tut, r that the presence of your Grace is significant of your approval? We thank you heartily—yea, heartily, for all that you have done to assist us in carrying ow` the philanthropical intentions of our honoured founder. To every patron, present and absent, we also tender our sincere thanks. It is for you, my Lord Duke, my Lords, and Gentlemen, to decide how far this fund can afford to lose the liberal patronage you have so long and so kindly vouchsafed us. It is for you, Sirs, to say if an average annuity of 65/. (with the certainty of a consi derable reduction it your decision prove adverse to our hopes) is a stipend too extravagant for those who, iu happier and more prosperous times, did the drama some service.—(Cheers.) To your award we shall bow will, respect. You are now in full possession of the figures and the faot a. You have plucked out the heart of out mystery—if mystery there eve r was any. We cordially thank you for the past, and we look forward hopefully to have to thank you for the future. In conclusion, I have the pleasure to announce that the British Drama will, at Christmas next, at her ancient classic locality, Old Drury, be once more at home !—(Loud and long continued cheers.) The Noble CHAIRMAN then said, on the last occasion, when he had the honour to fill the chair at the festival of this society, he ventured to make some remarks on the company which was then performing at Drury-lane 'theatre. He regretted on that occasion the fact that then the two great national theatres in this metropolis were occupied by foreigners, however great their merit: might be. Those theatres were not then the scene of the legitimate drama. He hoped, in the words of Mr. Harley, that a change had taken place, and that at Christmas next one of those theatres at least would re sume its proper position.

The fair ben,ficiaire was encored twice in the first part of the concert where she sung Guglielmi's " Gratias Agimus " and " Where the bee sucks " with great sweetness and charming effect. Miss Rafter sweet was assisted by her sister Mi ss Lucyeopt Rafter, whose a tio voice was most eff•ctive in Weber's fi n e t rio, "Where, what, 0 terror " from Der Freischutz, also by her brother Mr. Rafter, who was encored in the "Bay of Biscay," Miss Bassano in the favourite cavatina from Betley, was highly successful' The first part of ihe concert concluded with a comic song written and sung by Mr. W.

This lady had the following letter inserted in the " Times" news. JApor on Aug. 7, 1546. Reader, remember, this letter was put Sat the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimatone, of the llerbary, High laic ter the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using itabout four months, and the whole of her hair Is much stronger and more luxuriant than lever was before the baldness appeared. "Mrs. Weektey inserts this testimony to"the virtues of Mr. G.', Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase .ot I Is. bottle if Limy were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex orience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund• nlce, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume itt tar - .eyond any to her taste. She will feel a picasitre in answering ant ady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, ate u trope on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre ,rent the hair from coming away with the comb, matte it strong, and prevent it, turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly.

AMERICAN NEWS. LIVERPOOL, JUNE 12, 2 ♦.M. The North American mail .steamer Canada has arrived with advices from New York to the 30th ult. The Niagara arrived at Halifax on the 30th, and proceeded to Boston. The West India mail steamer Severn had arrived at Mobile on the 2l at ult. with 147,000 dollars on freight and thirty-seven pasengers. In Canada things continue quiet. The public sen timent was being strongly manifested in favour of the present Government. _ . Sir Benjamin D'Urban, Commander of her Ma jesty's Forces in British North America, expired at Montreal on the 25th ult. It was said that Parliament would be prorogued on the 30th by proxy. In the Uni.ed States there is nothing of moment to record, except the continued progress of the inun dation at New Orleans and the ravages of the cholera in the Missis.ippiValley. The inundation had extended to within halt a mile of the business part of the city, and great alarm was felt at its advances. Cholera and other diseases prevailed among the unfortunate popu lation of the flooded districts. The damage caused by the fire at St. Louis is esti mated at 3,000,000 dolls. The gold from California was beginning to arrive. A gentleman reached New Orleans on the 21st with a single lump worth 2,000 dolls. The mail steamers California and Oregon have at last returned to Panama. At least halt a million of dollars in gold has been brought by these two steamers to Panama. There was little news at San Francisco when they left. Gold was more abundant, and the most extravagant reports of the iicr.ness of the gold regions were regarded as moderate accounts of the fact. Good order prevailed at San Francisco. A convention to form a State Constitution is pro posed to be held on the ]st of August next. No doubt seems to be entertained that California will at once be admitted into the Union as a sovereign State. The price of goods had declined considerably, in comequence of the stocks in hand. MONTREAL, MAY 28.—The loss of the ship Maria, from Limerick, Ireland, is confirmed ; three of the crew, and nine out of the 111 passengers, were saved. The survivors were landed at Quebec on Friday, in the barque Roslyn Castle. Accounts from Govines, St. Domingo, dated the 11th ult., state that President Soulouque had returned to Port-au-Prince with the remnant of his army, after having sustained a complete defeat. He had lost 5,000 men in killed and wounded. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, MAY 30 The demand for bills on England is ste,rdy, and quick sales have been made this morning at 84. The money market was overflowing, and loans on de mand c' uld be readily had at 5 per cent. United Stat. s Sixes, 1867, sold at 1141 to and Treasury notes at 1111 to Pennsylvania Fives stood at 854 to j; and the Treasurer of that State is already taking active mea sures to stimulate the country treasurers to collect and pay in advance their quota of taxation, to the end that he may be full-handed for the payment of the August dividend. Kentucky Sixes brought to-day 105; Ohio Sixes of '6B, 106 3 1; and Indianna State Fives, 67. Cotton is now about Ic. higher than on the departure of the last steamer; it gained fc., and has fallen back c. in consequence of the Caledonia's news. The sales were a mere trifle; no urgent desire to sell, and still less to buy—for shipment, at least. Freight is only id. yer lb. The market for flour and grain has net changed ma terially since the sailing of the last steamer. There is a good home demand for flour, which, added to some 15,000 or 20,000 barrels taken in the past week for ex port has given some firmness to holders of the lower grades in the city. Troy and Waterford were less plenty, and firm. Freights were rather dull. To Lon don—flour, Is. 9d. to Is. 10d.; heavy goods, 275. 6d. to 30s. To Liverpool—cotton id. to 5-32 d.; flour, Is. 9d. to Is. 101 NEW ORLEANS, MAY 23.—The cotton market con tinues active, and prices are ic. better. The sales of the day are 4,000 bales. Fair is quoted 8 c. Freight to Liverpool—Cotton, id. HAVANNAH, MAY 22.—The exports of sugar from this place and Matanzas, from the beginning of the year to the end of last week exceed(d 363.000 boxes. The rice by the Zephyr, and 2,000 casks by the Confidence, have been sold at 10 reels. Freights to the United States are very dull. We quote them at 3 50 dolls. per hhd., and the quotations are almost nominal. Exchange.—On London, 10} to 11 per cent. pm.; on New York, par to t,er cent. pm. ADELPRI THEATRE. An " unwarrantable intrusion " was committed last night " by Mr. Wright upon Mr. Paul Bedford"— that is to say, one Mr. Snoozle, having resolved on en joying a quiet day all to himselt at his villa at Hamp stead, has sent away his wife, his niece, his servants, !ind all that is his, till he is left alone to enjoy, as he hopes, his otium. He will not even read his news paper, or the fourteenth letter he has received from " Mr. John Johnson, jun.," claiming in vain the hand of his niece. As he is about to begin his enj,iyment of the dolce farniente he is alarmed by the apparition of a " gent" about to drown himself in his fish-pond. Of course he rescues him and brings him into the house. The difficulty is, to get him out. The stranger is so overpowered by his gratitude, that he vows he will never quit his benefactor; and then he commences a series of small persecutions, such as the grave farce of Wright only could carry on or the sto- Ifdity of Paul Bedford endure, till of course the uncle is glad to give his consent to the marriage of his niece with " Mr. John Johnson, jun." The piece concludes with a new kind of " tag," which kept the Audience. in a roar. It was successful; and, with :1 little pruning, will serve to keep the Adelphi audiences up to the due pitch of hilarity for many a night to come. PARLIAMENTARY AND FINANCIAL REFORM ASSO CIATION.—Yesterday a very numerous meeting of the supporters of financial reform was held at the Horns Tavern, Kennington. Sir J. Walmsley presided, sup ported by Mr. Pearson, M.P., Mr. A. Anderson, M.P., Sir F. Knowles, the Rev. J. Burnett, and many influen tial gentleman of Lambeth. The Chairman opened the business of the day by stating the object of their assem bling, which was to obtain an extension of the suffrage and the vote by ballot, to shorten the duration of Par• liament to three years, and secure a more equal distri bution of the electoral districts. The Premier bad hinted that he had a little plan behind the curtain. The signs of the times showed that the attainment of their ends was not so far distant. Let the working men come forward by their contributions to aid the only scheme by which they themselves could be benefited. Their laud scheme, which had only been started a few weeks, had already 610 of its shares taken; but although that was a promising beginning, yet they required 600,090 electors, for only by such an increase could they hope to obtain the object which they sought, end for which,they bad laboured. A letter from Mr. Hume, M.P., was then read, recording the opinion of that gen tleman, that no reform of any extended nature could be expected from the House of Commons as .at present con stituted. Toe Chairman-having concluded amidst much cheering, Mr. Wilkinson proposed the first resolu tion:—" That the absence of a really representative House of Commons, the preponderance of class-legisle- Lion, the unequal pressure of taxation, the general extra vagance of the public expenditure, and the consequences of those evils, engendering discontent and threatening disorders fatal to the political and to the social prospe rity of this empire, render the combination of the middle and working cla- , :es for the attainment of the reform ad vocated by the Metropolitan Parliamentary and Finan cial Reform Association a matter ot momentous import coca to the state." It was seconded by Mr. Hunt, and atter some observations from, Mr. C. Pearson, Mr. Dal ton, and M. Cooper, a Chartist, put and carried. Mr. rhwaites proposed the second resolution :•-e" That as one of the most powerful means fur the peaceful aceom plishment of the great objects now sought t.) beeffec 4 t n ed the Metropolitan and Home Count ie s Freehold Ld Society, established in connexion with this . of all classes of the people, is calculate adapted as it is to the varied positions ai d id over o e Id, and that th meeting which its up' rations will extend, t c r n r uc k s ta e greats results upon the representation of . the countie s be, to avail himse t o means may strongly recommends every, Ret.totrhmeegr,reawth,adtev•vain,rtugheiss which that society offers." This was A was secvoontdeedof thanks by Mr. Stephens, and carrie d unanimously. was then p.issed fo r the chairman, and the meeting broke up. D e rrauc TIY E FlRE.—This morning, shortly be fore day break, a fire, the reflexiun of which was seen fur miles round London, took place at an extensive zinc factory, Hackney-read. The utmost promptitude was evinced on the occasion by a strong force of the London establishment and West of England firemen; but not withstanding their efforts, by the hour of three the whole front wail and roof fell in, destroying every portion of the property of the firm, wi;h serious loss to the build ings adjoining. The premises and stock are believed to be insured, but as to the cause of the calamity, no parti culars could be obtained. The loss is stated at between 5,0001. and 6.0001. CRICKLT.—CHELMSFORD v. ILroaD.—The first match of the season took place yesterday, on the ground of the Chelmsford Club, near Chelmsford. Shortly after ten, H. Gladwin and W. Brasier took the wickets on behalf of the Chelmsford Club; English and Good hugh bowling. At the conclusion of the first innings the score stood thus:—Chelmsford, 119; Ilford, 88. When time was called, the Chelmsford Club for their second innings had scored 71 for the loss of 7 wickets, T-f: SOCrET YOF IRS. ,IBITION OF TH PICTURES AND STUDIES of WI LIAM ETTY, R.A. ie Society of Arts in the Adelphi is now nobly ring the debt which it has long owed to British Ind artists. Barry, the greatest of English pain whose productions are as superior to those of as the productions of cultivated genius must ever be to the painstaking efforts of drudging medio crity, devoted the best portion of his life to the painting of a series of pictures for this society, which have ever since been the principal attraction of their rooms in the Adelphi ; for many years the society seemed to have forgotten its obligations to art, but at length it is aroused, and is now en gaged in carrying out a plan for the forma tion of a National Gallery of British Art by -mews of public voluntary contributions arising from dona tions and annual subscriptions, and flout the preceeda a an annual exhibition of the pictures and studies of one eminent living artist ; any profits which may arise will be applied to giving the artist s hock works are exhibited a commission for a work, or in the purchase of a work already painted, w hiLhwill be presented to the National Gallery. The artist whose works are this year exhibited are those of W. Etty, R.A., and there can be no doubt but that this col• lection will (as the Council observes) "kielleemed a graceful offering to the fair lame of so distinguished an artist, and that it will lead to a more just appreciern tion of the power and genius of the British school in the highest rank •of art." If we were called upon to produce the nine pictures painted by a modern artist the best calculated to lead the world to a just appreciation Of the power and genius of the British school in the highest rank of art, we should, without hesitation, point to the nine great pic tures of Etty—viz., the Combat, the three Judith pictures, Benainah slaying the two lion-like men of Moab, Ulysses and the Syrens, and the three pictures of Joan of Arc which are in this exhibition. These pictures are alone sufficient to secure to Etty a place among the foremost artists that the world has ever seen. This exhibition contains no less than 138 pic tures and studies by Etty. W ith the exception. of " the Youth at the prow and Pleasure at the Lelm,"twhich is in the Vernon Gallery, and the study of which is in the prevent collection, we believe that all Etty's exhibited works are to be found in this collec tion, together with many that have been never exhibited. Among these are the studies from many of his larger pictures, and several commissions which he has executed for various persons, which the public hive now au opportunity of seeing for the first time. These pictures range over a period of nearly thirty years, from 1824 to 1848, and we heard it remarked on Saturday, by several connoisseurs who were present at the private exhibition, that his earlier pictures are much superior to those which he has produced since he has indulged in what they choose to de nominate "experimentalizing in colouring." Such a mode of criticism is, however, very unfair. It should be remembered that Etty paints " not for a day, but for all time," and we are old enough to remember when the very same reproach was made against those master pieces of art which are the subject of unqualified admiration in the pre sent exhibition, and which those same connoisseurs now pronounce to be t qual to the finest productions of Reubens. So when they shall have been toned down by time will bethese later productions, which are now the subj,ct of so much unjust, and we must take leave to add, ignorant cr;ticisin. We shalt to:t at tempt to go into a critical analysis of this most in teresting exhibition, it is one which every lover and admirer of art will visit again and again, one of which, in a national point of view, every Englishman may be most proud, and which may challenge a com parison with any similar exhibition of the works of any foreign artist who has flourished within the course of the last century. It is an honour to the British School of Art. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY.
