THE Ri !ADEMY. PRIVATE VIEW—THIS DAY. Punctually as ever the Royal Academy is pre pared to fling open its gallery according to annual custom on the first Monday in May for public inspection. The internal architectural arrange. ment of the Building in Trafalgar -square has in no way retarded the regular completion of their arrangements. To-morrow, therefore, her Majesty's Ministers will be again feasted as of yore in the principal apartment, the walls of the temporary salle a manger being, as usual, decorated with the pick of the gorgeous works of art contributed to the Academy by the more ambitious contributors. In anticipation of the Saturday set apart for the Academy dinner, this present Friday has afforded us as heretofore the satisfaction of examining the pictures of the season, at our leisure, during the afternoon of what is by courtesy, and merely by courtesy, generally d es i gnate d t h e Private View Day. Whether it might be owing to the lower ing aspect of the weather, to the more spacious effect of the gallery as it is now, in con sequence of its enlargement, or to the ex haustion of anything like vivid interest in the world of club life or among parliamentary men through the mere reaction consequent upon last night's excitement down at Westminster, we know not—but certainly we have to-day for once found " room and verge enough" to saunter round the suite of apartments without even the merest approximation to anything like crowding—and even without once finding the view of any single painting in the edifice obstructed by the clustering about it of spectators—in evidence of its being a favourite. Another reason there is, perhaps, for the last-mentioned circumstance— though it is a reason certainly as adequate in its way as that of the burgesses - who ex cused themselves to the French King for not firing a salute, for this "a. no. 1. reason," among about sixteen others unenumerated, i.e., that they had no cannon —there is not one really and truly what we should call Great Work this year among all the thousand and odd (there are exactly 1,134 numbered up in the catalogue) works of art displayed for the season of 1861 upon the walls and in the sculpture room of the Royal Academy. A reference, first of all, however cursory, is due to the architectural changes noticeable immediately upon crossing the threshold of the Royal Academy, that is to say, upon entering at the eastward door of the building miscalled the Nation al Gallery—mis called, because what is actually the National Gallery there is literally only half of it. The central part of the building then is wonderfully improved. The staircases strike off at once to the right, upstairs— to the left, downstairs, not to the damp and gloomy den where the sculpture was of old stowed away in disgrace enough to drive the exhibitors in that de partment to absolute desperation, but in lieu of that, into a well-lighted and spacious gallery for busts and statues, amongst which it is at length a pleasure to wander meditatively. Returning, however, to the right.hand staircase leading up to the noble suite of rooms now consti tuting the Picture Gallery, the visitor's attention is at one arrested by the fact that the little den previously set apart for the miniatures and drawings has expanded into a splendid and well lighted apartment. This expansion having been effected by the way in the direction of what was formerly the unfrequented, and for the most part taboed room set apart for the all but condemned paintings, and the miscellaneous designs of the architects. Turning now howbeit to the principal and in deed to-begin-with all-absorbing attractions of the private view of the Royal Academy—that is to •Ry, not to the sculptures, not to the miniatures, not to the drawings or to the architectural designs —turning our attention exclusively to the paintings disposed upon the walls of the principal rooms of the Gal lery, we can in some measure understand almost:at a glance, how it is that the Royal Academy this year produces so little impression upon art-critics generally, how it is that it awakens so moderate a share of our admiration. It is only necessary to remember, in explanation of this, how many of ,the chief men, the pride and glory some of them, of the art-world in England are this year defaulters —making no appearance whatever! There is no Sir Charles Eastlake —nothing whatever that is from the Royal Academy President. There is nothing from Frith —nothing from Egg —nothing from Herbert —nothing from Poole (the new R.A. Elect)—nothing from Mulready—nothing from Maclise—nothing from Webster—nothing from Millais ! That, recollect, to begin with ! Then John Phillip has this year only one picture in the gallery, though that is a very charming one, (66) " Gossips at a Well," a thoroughly Spanish scene, the central attraction of which is the mule teer carelessly puffing his cigarette. Again, both Peed and O'Neil have each but one painting in t he E xhibition —though each of these is unquestionably in its way a masterpieces --each will infallibly tend to raise still higher the artist's advancing reputation- Paed's picture (247) " Prom Dawn to Sunset" being a very poem in itself—a cottage interior, where the oldest and probably the best beloved of the bed dying. The tear-suppressing awe of the whole of the varied inmates of the room is - wonderfully depicted. Especially - worthy of p ra i se i s the diversity of pathetic feeling expressed upon the countenances of the little children —but chiefly, and " best beautiful" of all, upon the hagga r d face of the toil-wo rn l a b ourer, the Head of the g Family, who is seated by the death-bed, and has evidently been just reading from the Holy Book words of heavenly consolation. O'Neil's picture (335), " The Parting Cheer," will prove a Popular companion to this gifted artist's two earlier and world-famous productions. With every sense of Mr. J. C. Hook's rare powers as a sea -painter, and with every possible respect for Mr. Ruskin's opinions as the first and foremost of living art-critics, we cannot but confess that to our min to d the three works cont r ib u t e d by this n.A. most the G a ll ery for 1861, are for the (317)part failures. His unnamed illustration of the Words "compassed by the inviolate sea" is certainly refreshing enough in its way, as a glimpse of ocean, w i th the prettiest little toddle, climbing up from tho beach th 4 handful of dripping seaweed -- wi that salt sea -weed that, as some quaint old writer h as it, " sme l ls ever of distance and of beauty." The happiest effort of the three however is Mr. Hook's ( 522 ) picture of the " Sea Urchins." Sir Edwin Landseer has as many as fou r p a i n ti ngs i n t h e Exhibition, the worthiest o f t h ese from bib Shrew T ame d master-hand being incompar a bl y (135) " The gentled ," a lady rec li ning beside her mare thrown prostrate upon a litter of ' straw— delightfully a la Rarey ! Perhaps, if there is one picture in the gallery that aspires more than another to be a Great Picture, to be regarded as the picture of the year, it is :Ward's (169), " The Antechamber at White b..aell _during, the Dying Mosnents of Charles !!a. Second.' It is a gorgeous painting enough, this eagerly looked -for delineation by Ward of an incident in our national _ his' tory recorded so recently and vi v id ly b a wz.L.lllacaula7. But the glory of the work, a a hasi o a f ar . t, is in the skill with which the painter upholstery, rather tehract.ed the costume and the then in the genius he has exhi bited in defining emotions of the personages introduced. Regardin the e . scene in this particu , ar, we cannot but deem 8 n a mrcture—clever and:bril liant though it is —as tswseod opportunity. David Roberts has contributed tneoble productions — one of these (168) presenting O,UB interior of St. Peter's, at Romp view the suraptu u.pon some fete (lay, when, as Scott sings in one o his old resonant ballads :-- " The Pope is singing his high, high mass, There are four All at St. Peter's shrine I" Redgraves in the gallery, and four Stanfi e l d one set carrying us out hseawards, the other into the green woodlands) WI way, of the two . f ort y, t hough in a modulated in the gallery, ita?tio, , pictu res t 3 l ted artists. reputations. Doe li be l. : one (289) a noble se „ Portrait representin' t he other (98) a delicious garden B msrton." With g " and Frost have the poet " Gcorge Herbert, at erington,Creswiek, Cope, Elmore, each of them three c ontributions in 1 the g Et li e 17""TietUresallOWeYer, whichwe cannot neW I '''...- . ' particularise. Three, moreover, has Ansdell, one of these (59), a wonderful painting of " Hunted Slaves"—one of the grandest pictures in the mere scale upon which it has been produced, and one of the most powerful in its character. The bloodhounds are painted, each of them, by a masterhand—the one that has just been destroyed by the hatchet of the brawny negro at bay, especially. Three deli,- cious pictures, too, 'are contributed by the young associate, W. C. T. Dobson —each of the three sin gularly beautiful. Mr. Dobson (in 34) having cer tainly found poetry in the streets in his delineation of a group of people clustered about a " Drinking Fountain !" As to the portraits in the gallery we have them as usual this year in abundance : "How many pictures of fair dames we view, All how unlike each other, all how true ! Arcadia's countess here in ermined pride, And here Pastora by a fountain side; Here Fannia leaning on her own good man, An here a nakod Leda with a swan." Among the " gentlemen " displayed in effigy upon the walls, th e pu bli c at large will look with interest to the portraits of Lord Broughton, Lord Clyde, the Earl of Malmesbury, Mr. Loch (recently prisoner of the Chinese), Colonel M'Murdo and his daughter, the late General Sir Charles James Napier's pretty little granddaughter. As we quit the Private View of the Academy the thought of old Burton comes back to us from one of the odd nooks and crevices of his "Anatomy of Melancholy :" saith he— "A good - aicture is false veritas, et muta poesis ; and though (as Vives saith) artfficialia deleetant, serf mox fas. tidi2ntes, artificial toys please but for a time ; yet who is he that will not be moved with them for the present ?" Certainly not we ourselves. We . quit the gallery after two delightful hours of lounging inspection of the works of art now hanging on the walls—quit it reluctantly, in one sense, for the simple purpose of jotting down at once this, our first impression of the Royal Academy 1861-Exhibition. Amongst those early in attendance we noticed the Duke of Argyll, Lord John Russell, Lord Eversley, Marquis of Lansdowne, Earl and Countess bf Grosvenor, Lord Broughton, Clarkson Stanfield, Esq •, R,A., Capt. Tom. Taylor, Mark Lemon, Esq., &c. MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. ~1~.......~. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. Less animation has prevailed in the markets for Foreign and Colonial Produce during the last few days. The operations in tea have been very limited, without any change of importance in prices. Sugars have declined about 6d. per cwt., 'while coffee, cocoa, and rice have also been dealt in at slightly reduced quotations. Saltpetre, however, has been in increased demand, and a moderate business has been done in tallow, without any material variation in value. The public sales of foreign and colonial wool are to commence on the 9th inst., and the quantity already arrived amounts to about 54,000 bales, chiefly from Sydney and Port Philip. An extensive business was transacted in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices advanced id. per lb., owing to the ad a ices from America. The sales were fully 25,000 bales. It has been notified that 577 special bonds of the Danish 3 per Cent. Lean, amounting to the sum of £65,800, have been drawn for redemption. There were no bullion operations of importance at the Bank of England yesterday. Two vessels have arrived from Australia—vist, the Calliance, with £120,900, and the Empress of the Seas with £20,200. 0 wing to the augmented enquiry for money, chiefly on account of the commercial bills due to morrow, the 4th of the month, the rates of discount still tend upwards, and accommodation on first class securities can scarcely be obtained in the open market on lower terms than at the Bank of Eng land.

The prayer of the petition was, that their lordships would be pleased to pass the bill with out referring it to a select committee. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that - while he entirely concurred in the prai er of the petition just presented, he did not think it was in accordance with the rules of their lordships' house that any petition could be received, as it was irregular to specify the particular way in which the petitioners wished bills to be passed. Lord CHELMSFORD agreed with the observations of the noble and learned lord on the woolsack. The Duke of RUTLAND said if he hhd infringed the rules of the house he very much regretted it. He would immediately withdraw the petition. The Duke of RICHMOND said he had also presented a petition with a similar prayer, but after what had passed he wished to withdraw it. Lord OVERSTONE presented a number of petitions in favour of the bill, amongst which was one from the bankers, merchants, and others in the City of London, and another from Manchester, which differed from the others, inasmuch as it prayed that the official assignee might be retained. There was a very strong feeling throughout the country in opposition to the existing law. The LORD CHANCELLOR presented a petition from the Bristol Chamber of Commerce in favour of the bill. Lord CHELMSFORD prosented petitions from a num ber of mercantile and commercial bodies praying for certain modffications in the bill. MESSAGE FROM THE CROWN—MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCESS ALICE. Earl GRANVILLE brought up a message from the Crown. The LORD CHANCELLOR read the Royal Message to their lordships. Her Majesty communicated to them her intention to sanction a marriage between her Royal Highness the Princess Alice and the Prince Louis of Hesse. The numerous proofs that her Majesty had received of the loyalty of that house to her person and family left her no room to doubt the wilihegnesa of their lordships to make a suitable provision for her daughter, such as might be suitable to the dignity of the Crown. Earl GRANVILLE said this was not the time to go into debate on the subject of her Majesty's message. It was, ;however, his duty to ask that an address should be presented to her Majesty on the happy event. They would have great pleasure in doing so at the present mo ment, as he: Majesty had so lately suffered a domestic af fliction. The Earl of DERBY cordially concurred in the motion of the noble earl. He had no doubt whatever that their lordships would willingly agree to any provision made by the House of Commons. He trusted that the marriage would be productive of the greatest happiness to her Majesty and her Royal family. The motion for the address was agreed to. THE BANKRUPTCY BILL. On the motion that the house go into committee on this bill, _ _ The Earl of DERBY moved that the bill be referred to a select committee. He said he had heard, with some surprise, that the Government, owing to its powerful opposition, had been compell:d to agree t 3 the motion that he intended to make to their lordships. Ile thought the bill such a complicated one that it could be much better considered by a small committee. It was full of technicalities, which could only be understood after the most careful consideration, and it might be said that the bill had been fully considered in the House of Commons. Ho tnought the bill had been so extensively altered in that house, and as it had been reprinted, it was very necessary that the bill should be submitted to a select committee in order to ascertain precisely the nature of the alterations. He felt great pleasure that the Government• did not intend to oppose his motion. Earl GRANVILLE—The reason the Government con sented to the bill being referred to a select committee was, that some of his noble friends not now present were of opinion that the measure could be best considered in a select committee. At the same he must say that he thought their lordships were as able to discuss it in the whole house, as in a select committee. Nothing could be fairer than the course the noble earl opposite had pursued with respect to this bill. The bill was then referred to a select committee. THE lONIAN ISLANDS. In reply to the Earl of CARNARVON, Earl GRANVILLE said the Government had received no intelligence from Sir 11. Storks relative to the proclama tion of martial law in the islands. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE •OF COMMONS, —(THIS EVENING.) Mr. MASSEY, in the absence of the Speaker through in disposition, took the chair at four o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Mr. ABERCROMBY took the oaths and his seat on his election for Banffshire. PETITIONS.

Mr. CLIVE gave notice that on Tuesday next he would move for leave to bring a bill to facilitate the drainage of land. PUBLIC PENSIONS. Mr. STIRLING gave notice that he would move for a return of the number of public pensioners, and the amount and nature of those pensions ; and ho would take that op portunity of drawing the attention of the house to the pen sion granted to Mr. Close, the Westmoreland poet. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) GLOUCESTER AND WAKEFIELD. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if, in the event of the Election Law Amendment Bill passing, he intended to apply the 29th section to the city of Gloucester and the borough of Wake field. Sir G. C. LEWIS said the clause in question was in tended to be prospective, and therefore it would not take a retrospective operation. However, it was competent to any hon. member to move a clause, giving it that retro - spective operation, when the bill came into committee. MARRIAGE OF HER ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCESS ALICE.

BUSINESS OF THE move the resolutions of which lie had given notice on this subject, and which ap peared in Th e Sir , ' of Tuesday last. He said the object which the committee had in view was not to in troduce any violent change in the mode of conduct ing the business , but tomake such alterations as would meet the changes had taken place in regard to the extent of public business. The noble lord then went in detail through the different resolutions, and 1 contended that they would facilitate the despatch of public 2 business without interfering with that freedom and fullness 3 of debate whichwas indispensable to the spirit and consti tution of the House of Commons. (Hear, hear.) Lord J. RUSSELL moved the resolution. Mr. BENTINCK complained that the house had not 1 been afforded sufficient time to consider these resolutions, 2 which, so far from being of the nature described by the 3 noble lord at the head of the Government, introd uce d very important alte ra ti ons , accordingto his opinion. He begged, therefore, to move " That this house, having considered the proceedings and the repel t of the Select Committee on Bus". ness of the House, does not deem it expedient to sanction the proposed alterations in the standing orders, and in the practice of the house." Mr. KNIGHTLEY second the amendment. In reply to Mr. WILLIAMS, Lord PALMERSTON said that in his proposal It-Wag i not intended to interf e r e w ith th e r i g ht o f b r i n i ng n mo tions or asking questions on those nights fixed for going into supply. Mr. PAULL movad, as an amendment, to add the fol lowing:—" Questions to be put on geing into a Committee if Supply or of Ways and Means, to a Minister re presenting any public department, shall be placed consecutively on the notice paper, and shalt be put by rotation, and thereupon Mr. Speaker shall call on such Minister to reply." lie strongly opposed the attera tions contained in these resolutions, and reminded lon. - members that the) were there to represent grievances, and to give full expression to the feelings of their constituents.
