STAMPED SD• PUBLICATIONS. Sam and Military Intelligence. Also, the servants of the English consular agent, in his absence, had hoisted the English flag in honour of the French and their rejoicings). Then the crowd went to the Protestant church and school of the English bishop, and broke the bell, which had been bung up after the ar rival of the firman of equality and pulled down part of the wall, broke the windows and frames, and burnt the books. Finding the father of the Chojabash of the Pro testants (an old man of 80) they wounded him, and beat his wife with a stick (a helpless old woman). Next, they at tacked the Greek church, plundered its vessels, broke the woodwork, and burnt the books. Next, they attacked the house of the Greek deacon, Niphon, and plundered it. Ho was absent, having been sent for and protected by Abd-el Fetch Aga Mintuer. They found 3 Christians,wounded them and left them for dead. Next, they attacked the house of the English consul, -broke the door with axes, plundered and broke everything, tore down the English flag, and dragged it through the streets ; entered the room of the consul's wife ; found Simon Cawar, father of Said, Prussian agent, killed him, wounding him with swords, axes, and club s (there were found on him 23 wounds), dragged him t o th e s t a b les, and there left him. They took all the jew e ll ery o f the consul's wife, and her clothes, leaving nothi ng i n th e house of the least value ; broke oven the English iron plough, and they then killed the acting Prussiau agent, in the house.of the English consular agent, and tore dow n t h e fl ag. Such is the honour the European states have fr om I s l am. Then they attacked the house of Mr. Zeller, cl ergyman of the English Church, a Prussian subject, plund ere d it , b roke open the boxes and cup b oards, wounded his servant Hairnet) who nowelies at the point of death.' (Th ey l e f t none of ' the wounded until they be lieved them de el.) Hr. Zellar'e house was left desolate, and they would have killed him had they found )iim. Next, they made an attack on the house of the Prussian agent to plunder it, not satisfied with the 41au:attor of his father, but some of the people of the quarter defended the house, and after three attecks they were repulsed, bat they fired with bill at the windows until they destroyed them. All this time they knew not that we three were absent, but wished to kill us and the missionary. Afterwards they attacked the Government hence in order to kill Mr. Lytle, who had inadvertently killed the dumb man. The gates were shut, and after in vain trying to break them open with stones they retired. The rest of the Christians were con-1 cealed in the houses of Moslems, and most likely paid them the price of their blood for their safety, and what of their houses were plundered we know not, or what insults were ()tiered to women, or what other mischief. Oh, day of terror, awful day ! the like of it has not happened since the rising of Islay upon the Christians in Aleppo ! Where are the English, where are the French and the Sardinians, who have shed their blood to uphold the power of Islam, and to give liberty to the Christians of the East? They have spilt their blood In vain. Their toil has gone in emptiness. Pharaoh will not let Israel go. Ho will not let them go—he will not let them go. He will lay on them a greater'a id heavier yoke. Why has seen a day like this? A whole city, about 10,000, rise on 500 miserable Chris tians ! Who, knowing the Moslems of Nablous for several years past, would have expected a day Mr& this, or, hear ing of it, could restrain his eyes from tears of sorrow ? The feelings of Islam towards tbetChristiaes see wudle known_: it, its es.. 5t5,... ,,, euT01 -- fi l iim of their lives, their property, and honour. May this be known to all. Alas ! alas ! had we liberty to write all. But it is enough that you have been in this country, and have heard and soon the day of Cosseen and Riphidee, and what is the of the Mo.:l;ms, and what the condition of the government. Memorandum of the causes of the conception and birth of this evil and murderous poicnn let, The chief cause is the firman of equality—viz., the Hatti Sheriff; they cursed him who commanded it ; they said, " The ruled need not obey when the ruler is rebellious ;" this firman is contrary to our religion. 2d, They dislike having consular agents in their towns, or that they should have silver sticks carried before them ; for they love not to honour Christians, or the establishment of their rights, with protection from injury ; and because also the consuls made known acts of oppression to the Government. 3d, The Greeks built a new house beside their church. The Effendi required a bribe, and they would not give it, but proceeded with their building. 4th, The ringing of the bell in the Protestant Church—this was to them unendurable. sth, The hoisting of the flags three days in honour of the French rejoicings, and the accidental death of the dumb man. This treacher ous snake, brel long before, came forth with its burning venom. Thus we have briefly written what might have been much longer, and now the Government, through its weakness, does nothing. Nablous has risen in rebellion. It is feared it may break out elsewhere. The people of Jerusalem are in a state of alarm. THE MEDI' OLD SOCIETY OF WATER COLOVRISTS.

The Imperatriz left Spithead on the night of the 19th of April, and arrived at Libau on Ithe 25th—little more than five days ; landed the prisoners, and left for Spithead the next day ; stopped 24 hours at Elsinore to coal, and arrived at Spithead on Friday night last, thus making the voyage out and home in 12 days, including all stoppages, disembarcation, coaling, &c. This is the shortest voyage ever made to Russia. The Russian officers were highly pleased with the ship and their treatmenteon board, and had invited her officers to a grand bal', but, as the ship could not be detained, Captain Cox and his officers were con strained to decline. We are requested to publish the following testimonial to Captain Cox : " Steamer Imperatriz, Libau, April 26, 1856. "We, the Russian officers returning to our native coun try, are desirous of expressing the extreme satisfaction we have enjoyed on board her Majesty's ship Imperatriz, on her voyage from England to the Russian port Libau, not only from the hospitable treatment and attention to our comforts manifested by Captain Cox and all under his command, but from his conduct to all the prisoners of war, 1,136 in number, on board, which has been universally courteous and obliging, and we sincerely take leave of him with earnest hopes for his future welfare.

The following is the reply of the French Minister of Foreign Affairs to a memorial agreed to in Paris on September 3, 1855. by persons belonging to several nations, end to almost ev.ry Protestant denomination in Europe and America, re-•pectfully be=eeching his Majesty, in concert with her Majesty the Queen of England and other Christian Powers, to use his info• ence with the Government of Turkey that It might establish reliuious librry in the States under its juris diction in favour of all the subjects of that vast empire without nistinctinn : " Ministry of Foreign Affairs.—Political Direction, " Paris, April 25. "Sir,—The Emperor has given orders to refer to me the petition which you addre-sed to his Majesty in the name of the Society of the Friends of Religious Liberty (the Evan gelical Conference of Paris, 1855), and I have taken into serious consideration the observations which it contains. "The Government of the Emperor has always exerted itself to cause those principles to prevail. Already, by the Hatt-Flntnayoun of February the 19th, his Highness the Sultanhas proclaimed in thaOttoman empire the liberty of all religious faiths ; and the Government of the Empe ror will not fail to do whatever shall he in its power to in sure the execution of those generous dispositions. " Receive, Sir, the assurance of my distinguished con sideration, " A. WALEWSKI. "Sir Culling Eardley, Bart." The meeting at which this memorial was agreed to was presided over by Sir Culling Eardley, Bart., chair man of the Evangelical Alliance, who has just received the foregoing answer. The a'ldress was replied to in decided terms by the Soverigns of England, Holland, and Prussia in the mouths of September, October, and December respectively. "The reply of the French Minister, although delayed several months," Sir Culling says, "possesses peculiar importance, from the present circumstances of France. The Minister of Worship, M. Fontotil, notified on Monday to the French Protestants through one of their body, that the decree of the 25th of March, 1852, inter fering with religious meetings, is annulled in regard to the commune of Thiat, in the department of the Haute Vienne. It is expected that the measure will apply to the whole empire, and that the sentences of imprison ment procounctd against several persons will be at once cancelled. This reply of Count Walewski justifies that expectation." bHI LING ST ATISTICS.

Oh, sir, the honoured, may he be preserved ! marespe.cted priest, John Bowen— We wish to inform youyo tlfil the spresent all proper respec t . strange and awful evils which havebeen inflicted by the ravenous upon the weak sheep, the miserable, wolves o f N a bl ous , despised Christians of the town, and upon the consular agents. On the 30. h of the past mon th t Gobat, English Mutram, cam e , undo Lord Bi s h op, S amue l we went with him to Nazareth. A post came and informed and terrible things. We went by way us of grea t es , ents of the pl a i n toJern alem, and after we understood allh i n f o rming you that nd it may erstbe pnblishednews we purposed known to all who inhabit Eur o p e the 4 d thus make an arkness that has fallen on the Christians of the E , st, a n d ki n gdoms allied with the King o f Islam, especially on th e for we know that it is not understood what the government of this country really is. On Friday, the 4th of this month, an English Mr. Lyde, who lives amongst th e Ansyrii, inthe neighb our - clergyman, hood of Latakia, came to Jeru sa l em, and returned, that h e m i g ht meet the bishop at Nabl ous or Nazareth. A going out of N;tblous a Moslem f o ll owe d him gad s he wa s deaf and. d um b man—perhaps you know hi m , Y a , sm .,‘ , El- Abd, of evil form , utt-rly untr a i ne d , lik e the 1307 of e of his . cou ntry), and began to shout with unintellieibre eep sound s if he wanted money , and laid hold of thehoreends, as with one h and, bac and with the other the muzzle o f hi s gun, drawing m k towards the town, preventing him • going on h is way by folly and insult. But you are not ignorant of the people of Nablous, great and small, how they des p ise all Franks and Christian s, ac c o rding to their nature, formedin enmity to the whole Christian race. Mr. Lyde pulled the gun and the horse from the man ; the lock caught in some of his clothes , an d t he charge entered the heart of th dumb man ; and in a few minutes he died. The clergymane returned to the town , and wished to enter the h ouse of on of the English consular a g e n ts. The Moslems seized hi m hi e the way, and took him to the judgment. He said, " I killed a man, but not by my intention, in spite of m e ' , and one of the Ulema , Mohammed Tirforha, went down with his brother Amer , and began to cry in the streets, "Allah Akbar ! Allah Akbar! (God is great)—oh, religion of Mohammed, art thou dead ? (or , it is dead)." As so o I Mahmoud Beg Abd el Heti heard of it he arose, and bengaline to collect men, for there was an alarmin g t umult in the city. Some of the Mejlis (council) came ; others did not, they could not form a council ; and it was determined to hold one after the prayer (the Friday's prayer). In the meantime the Sheick Sulah.el- 'acane collected about 12 persons of the Uletna. It is uncertain as to the presence of three Ulema, who were members of the Mejlis. It is said they had agreed together before the Friday, and waited an opportunity when the Muezzims should ascend the minaret to call to prayer as usual. Those Ulema stopped them as soon as they began, and said, " What is there in our prayer? Islam is dead !" Soon all the Moslems were assembling i n the mosque to prayer, and the Ulema and lunaums said to them " Go, pray behind the (Christian) priests and consu lar agents; the religion of Mohammed is dead." They ex. cited the people by such words, sent them out, and pre. vented the prayer. The people said to them " What shall we do ?" They answered, "If you are Moslems, manifest the religion of Mohammed," and began to tell them what to do. The crowds shouted, "God is great ! Oh, religion of Mn. hammed !" and the women began to shout and urge them on. They attacked th 3 house of the French consul, Mohammed Ameen Effendi El Cassim, stole what they stole, and burned the test. They took down the French flag and dragged it through the street, but the Osmanli flag they took in honour to the palace. (The cause of hoisting the flags was the birth of a royal infant of his Majesty Napo leon, the Emperor of the French. They had made a feast of rejoicing for three clue in the .41u°, of the eousul, AMERICA. SOUTHAMPTON, MA.y 4. By the United States' mail steam-ship Washing ton, Capt. Cavendy, which arrived off Cowes this morning, en route from New York to Bremen, with the German, French, and English mails, we have dates from New York to the 19th ult. The Washington brings 186 passengers, and on freight about 150,000 dols, in specie, principally for London, and the usual cargo. The Collins' mail steam ship Baltic arrived at New York from Liverpool on the 18th ult. The steam-ship George Law, from Aspinwall, with the semi-monthly mails and nearly 1,50C,000 dols. in treasure from California, had arrived at New York. The Aspinwall Courier of the st:i ult. states that Col. Schlessinger, at the head ot . 400 troops, was defeated near San Jose by 500 Costa Ricans, under Gen. Mora. Twenty Americans were taken prisoners and shot. The Costa Rican army was about to enter Nicaragua. The state ments as to the result of the battle are conflicting. The Washington correspondent of the New York, Herald, in alluding to the Costa Rica war, says— " That despatches from Col. Wheeler to the Govern ment mention that Col. Schlessinger'J retreat was not a defeat of the Costa Ricans, but a stroke of successful policy, superinduced by the largely-overwhelming force of the enemy." The same correspondent says— " Among the offi.nal documents received from Oregon is a letter from Joel Palmer, Superintendent of Indian Affairs, who, confirming the statements of Governor Curry, says, The present difficulty in Southern Oregon is wholly attributable to the acts of the whites;' adding, `I cannot but feel it is our duty to adopt such measures as will tend to secure the lives of these Indians, and maintain the guarantee secured by treaty stipulations. The future will prove that this war has been forced upon these Indians against their will, and that, too, by a set of reckless vagabonds, for pecuniary and political objects, sanctioned by a numerous population who regard the Tre asury of the United States as a legitimate object of plunder. The Indians in that district have been driven to despe ration by acts of cruelty against their people. Treaties have been violated, and rats of barbarity committed by those claiming to be citizens that would disgrace the most barbarous nations of the earth. If none but those .3171)pperpctr_4 such acts w ere t o b aar we mig h' look upon it with ind happily this is not the case.' " Ince ; ,tit nn- Advices from Havaunali are to the 11th ult. The man who attempted to take the life of the Archbishop of Cuba was to be garotted. The cause of the attempt is said to have arisen out of the denunciations of the archbishop from the pulpit of certain Spanish hidalgos, who were living in open concubinage with their own slaves. The ag gregate number of Asiatic labourers which hare arrived at the island since the importation com menced is 4,066. In addition 390 of the unfortu nate creatures had been lost by disease, accidental drowning, and suicide before reaching Cuba. In the New York money market foreign exchange continued firm. There were but few bills in the market, but with a continued large business in cotton at 'ho southern ports the market would ultimately become well supplied. The quotations for bankers' bills on London at 60 days' sight was 109.1 ; Paris, 5 181 to 5 161 ; Antwerp, 5 181 to 5 1742 ; Amsterdam, 41 to 411 ; Hamburg, 361 to 361 ; Bremen, 783 to 781 ; Frankfort, 41 to 411. The stock market during the week was active, but subject to heavy fluctuations. Government stocks were held at high rates and very little business was done. The cotton market continued firm, with sales of about 2,000 to 2,500 bales, closing at about 11c. to 11! i c. for middling Uplands. Flour, with fair sales, was firmer, and in some cases sold at 61 c. to 1242 c. per bare el advance. At the close, how ever, the market was less animated. Wheat was quiet. Small lots of Tennessee red and Southern white were sold 1 dol. 70c. to 1 dol. 81c. Rye was at 91c. for Pennsylvania, and 93c. to 95c. asked for northern. Corn ranged from 63c. to 65c. and 66c. for all kinds of sound qualities. Pork again ad vanced, with sales of mess at 17 dols. 50c. to 17 dols. 681 c., and at the the close 17 dols. 75c. were demanded. Prime sold at 15 dols. 75c.

Mr. Forlong, fram Melbourne, who have arrived in London for the purpose of entering into arrangements for the immediate formation of a steam postal communication with Australia, were bladed from the Pera at Malta, and proceeded to England through France. The Pera during the outward voyage experienced very severe westerly winds as far as Cape Finis terre ; in the Mediterranean light headwinds. Homeward the weather was fine to Cape de Gatt ; from that point to Gibraltar it blew a. hard gale from the westward, which detained her off that port 20 hours ; afterwards the weather was more favourable. Although throughout the whole voy age from Alexandria the Pera has not experienced 60 boars of fair wind, she has completed the en tire passage in 11 days 11 hour 4. On the 26th ult., 180 miles East of Cape de Glatt, the Pera exchanged colours with the British barque Eliza, Thompson, steering eastward ; 29th, 140 miles south-east of Cape St. Vincent, she spoke the sail ing transport Edward, No. 141, which left Gibral tar on the previous day in tow of the steam-tran sport Great Western, No. 6. The Edward was bound for Spithead, and had on board 120 Russian guns, &c. On the same day, 110 miles south-east of Cape St. Vincent, she exchanged colours with the ou ell awectisu a !mauler Caning, anct toe steam transport Emperor, No. 67, steering south-east. On the 30th ult., 40 miles north of St. Vincent, she spoke the screw-steamer Union, steering south; also, spoke on the same day the steam-transports Great Western, No. 6, steering for England ; the Orinoco, 218, off Epich e ll, s t eer i ng S . ; and the Ripon, o. 25, also steering S. On the Ist inst., 40 miles N.E. of Cape Finisterre, signalled a large screw steam-transport, with loss of fore and main topmasts, mizontopmast standing, funnel abaft mainmast, standing S.W., but coull not make out the number. She had the fore and main course and the spanker set. Intelligence from Alicant, in the Gibraltar Chronicle, states— " That the commercial movement of that port has dur ing the last few months considerably increased, and will in all probability be still more active when the commu nications with Madrid have been facilitated by the con struction of the railways which will be completed before the end of the year. The tunnel of Eldo, which has been confided to a French contractor, has been eatite'y pierced, and work men are now employed in it. The works in the port are also advancing rapidly, and there is every reason to hope that it will be one of the finest, as well as one of the safest, on the coast of Spain. The crops in the province of Alicant are said to give every promise of abundance. Very little wine had lately been purchased there for France, as the price had considerably risen in consequence of the great demand for Italy." Our intelligence from Gibraltar is to the 29th ult. A grand funeral service was solemnised on the 26th in the Roman Catholic chapel for the re pose of the souls of those who had fallen during the late war in the Crimea. The British steamer Demetrius, 10 days from Hartlepool, arrived at Gibraltar on the 26th. The steamship British Queen, five and a quarter days from Liverpool, ar rived out on the 25th. Exchange at Gibraltar for bills on London, at 90 days, was quoted at 51c. ; Paris, sf. 37c. ; Marseilles, sf. 38c. Spanish pillared dollars, 8 per cent. premium, but there are none in the market. THE PENINSULAR MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, MAY 4. By the Peninsularand Oriental Company's steam ship Madrid, Capt. Bradshaw, with the Peninsular mails, in charge of Lieut. Irwin, R.N., Admiralty agent, we have dates from Gibraltar, April 23 ; Cadiz, 24 ; Lisbon, 29 ; Oporto 30 ; Vigo, May 1. The Madrid brings 25 passengers, and on freight 16 packages of species, valued at 4,7321., and a cargo consisting of 436 boxes of oranges, 45 boxes of potatoes, 3 casks and 3 cases of wine, 12 casks and 136 boxes-of dates, and 11 packages of general merchandise. During the homeward voyage the Madrid expe rienced westerly and north and south-westerly winds to Vigo, with thick, rainy weather ; from Vigo strong easterly winds and clear. She spoke, on the 24th ult., the schooner Monarch ; May 2, in lat. 45.48 north, long 7.47 west, exchanged colours with the barque Truro, steering north-east. The Madrid left at Lisbon, on the 28th ult., the Greek war steamer Reine de Grece. The steam yacht New Quarterly, H. Last, had put into the Tagus from stress of weather on the 26th. The Liverpool screw-steamer Minho had not ar rived at Lisbon when the Madrid sailed. Great anxiety was felt at that port for her safety. A steam-vessel under canvass was passed by the Madrid shortly after leaving Lisbon, and appeared to be either the missing ship or the steamer Rat tler, belonging to the same company. She was under canvas only. The exchanges, this packet, for bills at three months are quoted :—London, .cifi to 54411 Paris, - 520 to 518 ; Amsterdam, 43 is: ; Hamburg, 49g ; and Genoa, 17. On London paper was scarce at 541, at which rate there was money over ; on Paris money was scarce ; on Hamburg a little was done, while the rest were nominal. Portuguese Three per Cent. Stocks, 43 to 43k, with a demand at the lower rate ; Bank of Portugal shares, 500 to 502 milreis ; Bank of Oporto shares, 236 to 240 milreis, THE WEST COAST OF AFRICA. PLYMOUTH, SUNDAY.

At Accra things were unsettled, the inhabitants refusing to pay the poll- tax. The governor of the Gold Coast had left in order to arrange the affair. Mr. Benson has succeeded to the Presidency of Liberia. H.M. ship Sappho arrived at Sierra Leone from Plymouth, April 12. The Philomel and Salaman der were also there. The Recovery, Captain Douglas, laden with timber, for England, bad been lost on the Conflict Reefs, off the river Nunez. The captain and crew would proceed to England in the Euphrates steam ship. The Sir Frederick Pollock, with troops, had arrived at the Gambia, from England. The ships Ferozepore and Majestic were at Fer nando Po. At Lagos, H.M.S. Childers and Minx. At Bathurst, the Driver. On the 28th April the Niger spoke the barque Pacific, off Madeira ; April 29, the Gambi a mail packet, outward bound ; April 30, th e Vi ctor i a and Albert ; and on May 1, off Cape Finisterre, the steam-transport No. 5, with lo ss o f rnNin and foretcpumbh Saturdk r afternoon found us among the pri vileged " many " admitted to the private view of the annual exhibition of the (Old) Society of Painters in Water Colours, at 5, Pall Mall East, the Society's now well-known Gallery. Tolerably well-known by this time to all lovers of art among us Londoners, seeing that 1856 brings us in it to the " fifty-second " of these same yearly exhibitions Exactly 300 pictures are for the present season numbered in the catalogue of the collection. Three hundred, of course, good, bad, and indifferent. The effect is brilliant enough as usual on entering, and by the time we take our departure, it must be admitted, sufficiontly satisfactory altogether. Sauntering round the old familiar Gallery one misses—how one misses poor Copley Fielding ! No more of the rolling billows in those affluent sea-scapes, no more of the vapoury perspective, and the showery atmosphere, and the erratic sunbeams glorifying those ample I land-scapes—lavished upon the walls with a hand so free and indefatigable by the late gifted and lamented President. No more t The easle is folded up, the brushes put away, the pallett cleaned, the blinds down, tho shutters closed—for him, ! And in the vacated chair John F. Lewis some time formally installed ! " The King is dead : long live the King" —as the court herald cried years ago out of the window of the old Tuileries. And, putting aside with a sigh the memory of Copley Fielding, as we might a caput mortsum from a gay banquet adorned with fruit and flowers, we pause before No. 134, a large contribution by John Lewis, representing " A Frank Eacanapment in the Desert of Mount Sinai, 1842, with the Convent of St. Catherine in the distance." It comprises, this remarkable picture, portraits of an English nobleman--(it might be a scion of some noble house like the MSS. hunting author of " Visits to the Monasteries of the Levant," but for the pronged beard !)—and his suite, together with Hassi. the Uebet lor, and Mahn:owl" the Dragoman. The effect of all the oriental accessories, contrasted with the little pet Skye-terrier, and the luxurious litter of bodily comforts for the grand insular traveller in his outlandish raiment, comical enough, and withal wondrously characteristic. It is a marvellous glimpse of life as it is not unfre quently seen in the hot realm of the nomadic Arab—with the Scheikh, and the Noble, and the Dragoman all inclusively. David Cox—what on earth is David Cox about latterly ? Playing tricks with his reputation, as Turner was wont to do in another way, towards the close of his eminent career ? Not, as Turner did, shaking out upon the canvass in one wild fuzzy jumble the gaudiest colours of the prism, or of the kaliedoscope—but sketching objects from nature it would almost seem, anyhow, with a ragged brush I In proof of which accusation let us merely direct attention, anybody's attention, David Cox's most infatuated admirers' attention, to (128) " Driving the Flock," or to (260) "North Wales "—rough drawings, which are, as compared to finished pictures, what a blotted scrawl is to a specimen of caligraphy. Sometimes, it is true, even through this inadequate medium, the genius of the master contrives still to shine out conspicu ously and unmistakeably, as in the same artist's admirable sketch (140) " The Peat Gatherers." Altogether, howbeit, a style so frightfully free and-easy, when adopted by a water-colourist like D. Cox, is to us subject only for unaffected lamenta tion. What a contrast in its finished perfection that presented by C. Branwhite's (121) noble masterpiece, the view "On the River Trevi, near Newcastle-in-Emlyn, S.W. ! " One of the loveliest paintings this season displayed upon the walls of the Gallery. Whether viewed in regard to wood land or cloudland—in reference to the blue sky or the blue water. Another contribution by the same hand (114) " A Winter Sunset," depicts a frost scone on the river Avon—seeing which one longs to buckle on the Mercury-blades, and glide away over the ice, crackling and humming like an animated top, or a sort of a human-swallow. W. Goodall is also very noticeable among the Water Colourists of the present season— less, however, because of such a picture as (63) "The Grandfather's - Visit," in which the old gentleman is by far too skittish and nimble-heeled for his age to be in any way true to nature--than by reason of such another as (111) " The Shrimpers," a coast group that would have gladdened t he heart of Collins himself to have looked upon. As any one will acknowledge, if only on a glance at that young fisherboy's leg shining with a wondrous flesh tint through the network, or, as Dr. Johnson would have it--" the reticu lations or decussations with interstices between the intersections !" What a delicious glory of verdure, green and succulent with spring -fresh ness, is there not in (74) " The Mole, near Dork ing," by J. P. Naftel ! What a charming bit of meadow loveliness is that peep at haymaking in (33) "Priory Park, Reigate," by C. Davidson. A bout the most prolific contributor to the Gallery for 1856 is unquestionably W. C. Smith—out of whose score of oontr;lautif , ,e, several of very oeu siderable beauty might easily be selected. For example (42), " Still Pool, Lynton," cool, spark ling, and transparent ! It would interest us very much to know what Mr. Naftel can possibly mean by that yellow dash of spray (like a " cat's paw" of curry !) thrown up among the boulders viewed at sundown in (20) " Collecting Vraic, Guernsey." Also—we should be interested to learn where abouts the point of the joke may be in those two terrible portraitures of Irish home life, by H. P. Riviere—(ls4) " Charming Judy Callaghan" and (161) " Another bit of Blarney"—the ugly Patlander who imperson ates the hero in each of which pictures being, in his villanous squalor, rather a fitting subject for Madame Tussaud's Chamber of Horrors than for a specimen of water-colour peasantry. Mr. Riviera has, moreover, it is observable in (49) "Sunday Morning," a ridiculous example of a very clean old man, soaped, and brushed, and polished up into the very model of a pattern Bible Reader ! Va lentine Bartholomew feasts our eyes with (78) " Autumn Flowers," a posy of chrysanthemums ! And with (269) a profusion of roses and convolvoli ! Mr. Naftel introduces us through the pre-Raphaelite lens of (158) to a " Nice Weedy Old Garden near Bordeaux Harbour, Guernsey"—the very title of which tells of the neglected foison in the grim oldt h e h green " pleasaunce," al mos t as distinctly 43 e magical verse •f Shelley where he sang— " And the gesty winds woke the w inged seeds Out of their birthplace of ugly wee d s. s Rower's stem Till they clung round many A s weet Which rotted into the earth with them. " Then the rain came down and the broken stalks Were bent and tangled across the walks ; And the leafless network of parasite bowers Massed into rain, and all sweet flowers." pl eas i ng to the eye is that unexpected glimpse of darling ,‘ Little Nell"of the Old C ur i os i ty Shop, vouchsafed to us by F. W. Topham in (288), " Youth and Age'' where the angel-heroine sees the young bride of fifty-five years ago in the wrinkled old crone of nearly eighty winters, tot tering among the grassy hillocks of the rural churchyard ! If the visitor to the Gallery wants a specimen of the gaudiest colouring imaginable — there hehas it surely to his heart's content in (296) " Titian Visiting the Studio of one of his Pupils," by Alfred Fripp—red, blue, white, as staring as a union-jack, and as glaringly contrasted each with each as the harlequin-chequers at an oil and colour shop. Does any one want a picture finished to very tameness, he may look for it, confident of no disappointment, in (299) the "Head of a Child," by H. Richter Is the visitor in search of—not a call it, a me r d' ac i er , a Inerde glace, but, as we may rolling ocean of hard metallic waves—let him (t 'pans® contented Wm (27) DutCh Ea tit In! ,an Hove Down,' by lond all question wants. Frederick TaylL Landseer-like water. colour drawings o] men and women, boys and girls, dogs and horses —comes to us as welcome and as natural as flowers in May in the midst of these preposterous eccentricities. Admirable, for example, in (23) "Huntsman's Boy and Bloodhounds" —admirable too in (263) " Re turnfrona Hawking" —but (if we might venture to draw a comparison among three such pictures) most admirable in (281) " 111-Nature, Highlands of Scotland"—in which " twa dogs" are fighting for the bare life, a little boy grinning with delight at their ferocity, a little girl whimpering in her apron at the same, and a flock of sheep scur rying off affrighted in the background. The Se cretary, J. J. Jenkins, has an amusing view of following my leader over stepping-stones, called (215) " Come Along !" and a boatful of home ward-bound veterans (125) " The Return," apropos of the War —or of the ?,ace ! Gloomy in One, lurid in the other, but Woolmer-like in both, S. Palmer illustrates in (147) and in (143) com panion incidents from " Comus"—the Brothers guided by the Attendant Spirit and the same brothers Lingering under the Vine ! Carl Haag gives us in (150) the Head of a "Roman Flower Girl " whose face would be lovely but that the eyes are so frightfully dis proportionate in their largeness I John Gilbert, the indefatigable and inexhaustible John Gibert, will delight his admirers most with (37) "The Standard-Bearer," but cannot' fail, of course, to attract the notice of the majority chiefly by his large picture (83) depicting " Her Majesty the Queen inspecting the Wounded Coldstream Guards in the Hall of Buckingham Palace "—a painting full of interest, if only from the histori cal character of the subject, and the general ex cellence of the numerous portraits introduced. Margaret Gillies has a charming little study (177), entitled "The Students "—heads that might pass muster as those of Sir Isaac Newton and his beautiful niece, the admired of Swift and the be loved of Halifax. A crowded little picture hung low down in the entrance (197) portrays " Co lumbus before the Council of Salamanca," as seen by the " mind's eye" of J. StephanoEf--supposing the great Christopher to have appeared like which effigy with extended arms and dis-spread fingers, "explaining his theory of the new world," we don't at all wonder at the children calling after him in the streets of Madrid-- 4 ' There zoea +l TM.. -1 I . ' 1. - - t•• Topn aU r s 01 (238) " The Gauge rs are Coming should not on any account be passed by svitnous some earnest hint of commendation. Neither can we remain altogether silent in regard to George Fripp's (232) " Hambrook Mill, on the Frome, near Bristol," with the wind blowing among the trees so refreshingly. Another artist facile princeps among the ablest and most gifted of living water colourists remains yet to be mentioned. We have reserved any allusion to him and his contri butions as a bonne boucle. Cannot any one guess en the instant who it is we mean ?—W. Hunt, of Park Gate, Bramley, n ear Basingstoke. A wonderful mas ter in the old-new art of Pre - Rephaelism. Look at (253) that astonishing little "Bit of Mont Blanc," about four inches square, giving a frag ment just so large of the metallic rocky substance of the mountain freckled with lichen, and parti coloured with gleams of gneiss, mica, and granite-- such as must be absolute rapture we should fancy to the souses of John Ruskin ! Then the fruit• pieces of this marvellous painter—this magical W. Hunt ! The plums in (274), plums that we could almost eat ! The chesnuts in (278), chesnuts in their shining golden jackets ! The green and purple grapes in (219), grapes with the bloom on them ! The cobnuts in (212), ripe brown nuts, half peeping from pods sour, green, and shaggy ! The wild strawberries in (292), tiny wild straw berries, red, little, freckled atoms of natural sun mellowed deliciousness ! No wonder the fruit pieces of Hunt aro snatched up greedily by art purchasers, almost as soon as they are exhibited. Looking at them, lingering near them, tearing ourselves from them reluctantly at last, we leave tie Gallery smacking our lips as at the dessert after the great feast of this Collection COURT CIRCULAR.
