He was greatly fatigued after the duties of the day, and speedily retired, Colonel Keyes, his Military Secretary, finding it difficult to keep the crowd tearing him to pieces with their rough favours. RUMOURS ABOUT THE CABINET. WASHINGTON, March 4, 1861. Up to the evening the Cabinet had not been definitely settled. Mr. Lincoln said to-night that the people would be astonished when he announced his Cabinet to-morrow. This does not look as though the matter was settled. _ The first business after the formation of the Cabinet will be to call an extra session, not with the object of coercion, but with a view to ascertain bow far the people will endorse forbearance. - Hon. John A. Kasson, of lowa, it is understand, has received and accepted the appointment of First Assistant Postmaster General under the Lincoln regime. WASHINGTON, March 4, 1861. Rumours of a change in the Cabinet are still afloat. Chase is again said to be uncertain. So well does Lincoln keep his counsels that nothing definite Will probably be known until to-morrow noon. Wood having had his slate smashed, is trying to destroy Lincoln's. Every effort has been made to day to oust Chase from the Cabinet. The most ingenious arguments have been employed to bring this about, the principal one. being an appeal to Mr. Lincoln that he would do great injustice to the republican party of Ohio, and to himself, if he called Mr. Chase from the Senate to his Cabinet, in asmuch as it would be impossible to elect another republican to fill his place, and that the probability is that the vacancy would be filled by a democrat or an anti-republican of some kind. The friends of Mr. Sherman, who think he can be elected, and the friends of Mr. Gurley, who think he can be elected, do not believe any such thing can happen. They declare that the republican party is fixture, and cannot be beaten. Up to 11 o'clock to-night the Cabinet, so far as the men are concerned, is un changed from the list contained in my despatch in to-day's Herald, The location of some of the gentlemen selected is the only difficulty in the way. To-morrow morning will settle the question, and the Senate at one o'clock to mor row afternoon will be called upon to act in the matter of confirmation. The Cabinet once created, the political axe, already sharpened and upraised, will fall upon many a head, and in quick succession. OPINIONS OF MR. LINCOLN'S INAUGURAL. WASHINGTON, March 4, 1861. There is great contrariety of opinions respecting Mr. Lincoln's inaugural. The most extreme southern men regard it as meaning war, and assert that it will be so regarded throughout the South, while the more conservative men of the border States view it as conciliatory, provided a Cabinet is constructed of conservative and Union loving men. A gentleman asked Mr. Buchanan, who listened attentively to its delivery, what he thought of it. He said he was not prepared to express an opinion until he had examined it more thoroughly. This much he would say, however, it was a well written document. Conservative democrats say that Mr. Lincoln's inaugural, in connection with the proposed consti tutional amendment regarding slavery in States, means peace, and that it will hold the border slave States with anything like forbearance on the part of Lincoln toward the seceding States. Colonel Burnett, of Kentucky, says the inaugural means War. General Hamilton, of Texas, says he feels sad. Mr. Kellogg, of Illinois, hardly knows what to think. Mr. Spaulding, of New York, speaks equivocally. Senator Green, of Missouri, has no opinion to express about it. A prominent Missou rian also says every Union man must like its sen timents. New Yorkers say the idea of "No blood shed and yet the enforcement of the law," is borrowed from his predecessor. WASHINGTON, March 4, 1861. The all-absorbing topic of conversation and spe culation to-night is, of course, the inaugural. Re publicans of all shades express the utmost satisfac faction with it. Democrats, while denouncing its treatment of the Southern question, yet give the author credit for honesty, firmness, and patriotic intentions. Among border statesmen there is a difference of opinion. Some contend that it will strengthen the Union sentiment in their States, while others clamorously assert that it will drive them out in less than a month. 'Any one familiar with Mr. Lincoln's style will at once concede that the form and substance of the inaugural is of his own conception from beginning to end. It is now positively known, indeed, that in its preparation he was not assisted by any one. This independence of thought and action argues well for the future in the eyes of his friends. In the Senate, Mr. Corwin's resolution had been adopted. The Crittenden resolution was rejected by 22 to 19. TILE TARIFF BILL—Mr. Sherman (rep.) of Ohio, from the Conference Committee, reported that the Senate had receded from the clause in the Tariff Bill imposing a tax on tea and coffee. The tariff will be signed on the 22d, and come into operation on the Ist April. Senators Baker and Pearce rode in the same carriage with the two Presidents. It may be men tioned as an incident, however, that this broke down just before starting. In a second one were seated Judge Davis and Tom Marshall, of Illinois, and Lincoln's two secretaries. Mr. Buchanan looked very grave and conversed but little on the way. Lincoln appeared calm and but little affected by the excitement around him. KOSSUTH NoTES. Kossuth, it may be remembered, was Minister of Finance in Hungary in 1849, and he is preparing, it seems, to reoccupy his position should an oppor tunity offer. Now, without entering into the dis cussion as to whether the Emperor of Austria is legally King of Hungary, and has therefore a right to object, in an English court of justice, to the as sumption by Kossuth of the Royal arms of Hun gary, as an impress for his National Notes, we beg leave to say a word or two on Kossuth's notions of Currency. Every one knows that the state of the finances of Austria is nearly as bad as is possible. One of the great causes of this is the most ridicu lous and dishonest move made by Austria in issu ing inconvertible paper money, at the time of the Italian War, which was not receivable for taxes. The taxes were to be paid in silver. We pointed out at the time that this was both dishonour able and foolish. Dishonourable, because this money forced into circulation by Government quickly de preciated in value, and the poor man and the trader were robbed to the extent of the depreciation. Foolish, because the Government by this act threw discredit on its own notes, and diminished the capa bility of the people to pay taxes at the very time when they were urgently required. The event showed how correct this opinion was. The misery and ruin caused in Hungary by the depreciation of this paper currency, which depreciation amounted to at least 30 per cent., was one of the proximate causes of the disturbances in that . country. Now what is the Note which Kossuth proposes to issue ? This is a copy of it " ONE FLORIN. 1 4 This monetary note will be received in every Hungarian State and Money Office as I , One florin in silver ; three zwanziger being one florin ; and its whole nominal value is guaranteed by the State. " In the name of the nation. "KOSSUTH Lowe." Now we say, without hesitation, that ifn Kossutheror Louis had been Mini ster of Finance to the p of Austria at the breaking out of the Italian a and had issued such n otes as these, Austria mightr have found money to fight her battles, to pay her debts, and to save Hungary from the state o f famine, distress, and ruin into which Austria's stupid currency blunders have precipitated both nations. We recommend Mr. Gladstone to call upon Kossuth Louis, and take a few lessons on the cur rency question from that eminent personage. Mr. Gladstone is trying to save a paltry sum by not raising the interest on his Exchequer Bills—which has always been done by former Exchequers when the rate of discount rose—and consequently he can scarcely keep Exchequer Bills afloat. Let him issue National paper money, after the Kossuth model, and he will get his taxes paid, have a set tled rate of interest, and a prosperous country. — Derbyshire ( ourier.

From the manufacturing districts accounts are of a rather more favourable character. At Man chester the advices from India and China have caused a slight increase in the demand for goods suitable to those markets. The woollen trade of Leeds, Huddersfield, and Halifax, however, has continued inactive, and only a limited improve ment can be recorded in the hosiery and lace trades of Leicester and Nottingham. In the hardware districts, viz., at Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton there has been little change of importance, the chief dealings being confined to the requirements of the home trade. About £68,000 in gold was sent into the Bank of England on Saturday. The traffic receipts of the Great Western Rail way of Canada for the week ending Ist instant, exhibited an increase of £829 compared with the same period in 1860. The tendency of the Money Market continues favourable, and an immediate decline in the minimum rate of discount is expected in commer cial circles as well as at the Stock Exchange. It is inferred from the progress of events during the last few days that a further considerable improve ment has taken place in the resources of the Bank of England, since the date of the last weekly return, some large additions having been made to the bul lion, while the bulk of the discount business has been negotiated in the open market, where accom modation has been obtainable at reduced quotations. The Seine, which left for the West Indies to-day, conveyed only £660 in specie. A large amount of business was recorded in the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday, and prices were fully supported. The sales were 20,000 bales. There has been less activity in the market for public securities to-day,-but the quotations have contined steady, Consols being 911 to• 92 for transfer, and 921 Z for the 10th proximo. The easier tone of the money market still gives support to values, but the position of American affairs checks purchases on speculative account. India 5 per Cent. Loan is 1004 4 ; ditto 5 per Cent.

In the Foreign and Colonial lines business has continued very dull, without any change of im portance in values. East Indian and Great Indian Peninsula, however, have slightly improved.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET NOVEL USE OF OMNIBUSES.—PUBLIC-HOUSES ON WHEELS:—William Cummins, of 2, Blue Cross-street, Leicester-square, was charged before Mr. Beadon with hawking and selling spirits between the hours of half-past ten and half-past eleven the previous (Sunday) morning, contrary to the statute 23 and 24 Vic., cap. 114, sec. 197. Inspector Webb, of the C division, said that from infor mation he received, he went the previous morning to Great Portland-street, accompanied by Sergeant Joy, 9 C, and Butcher, 127 C, and he there saw the prisoner in com pany of two other men. He told him that he must con sider himself in custody for hawking gin. He denied doing so, but on his putting his hand into the prisoner's coat pocket, he• took out a half pint measure, and on telling him he had something in his breast pocket, he took out a bottle containing about a pint of gin, and a dram glass. The prisoner said the gin was purchased by some omnibus men, and that he was going to serve them with it. He eonveyed the prisoner to the station, and went back to the Blue Post public-house, No. 2, Great Portland. street, and he there found in a shutter-box attached to the outside of the house a pail with bottles in, which had contained beer and gin. He said the men had purchased the gin and beer on Saturday night, and that it was left there for convenience. Butcher, 137 C, said ho want on Sunday morning to the Regent-circus, and saw several persons gott into an omni bus and the defendant after them, some of the persons being connected with omnibuses and others not. Ho saw the prisoner serve them with gin and beer. He (Butcher) then got into the omnibus, and was served with a glass of gin, for which he paid the prisoner 2d. There were four persons in the omnibus at that time, and they were all served by the prisoner. Mr. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, who appeared for the prisoner, said ho could not resist a conviction, but the prisoner had, he believed, been the tool of others. Mr. Webb said the gin was paid ls. 4d. a pint for, and retailed at the rate of 3s. 2d. Mr. Beadon inflicted the reduced fine of £2O or six weeks' hard labour on the prisoner. ROBBERY AT THE ST. JAMES'S HALL.—Frederick Nevring, a young man in the employ of Mr. W. Donald, of the St. James's Hall, was charged with stealing some plated spoons, the property of his employer. In addition to the spoons mentioned in the cnargo there was reason to believe the prisoner had stolen other articles. The prisoner was committed for six months with hard labour. THE WEATHER.

THIS DAY'S MAREETS. CORN EXCHANGE. The leading provincial markets held on Saturday were scantily supplied with wheat. For most kinds there was an improved demand, and in mast transactions prices had an upward tendency. Fine barley and oats realised ex treme rates, with a fair consumptive inquiry. Beans and peas, however, were rather cheaper. The flour trade was steady. Throughout the Continent wheat and most descriptions of spring corn have changed hands steadily, at very full prices. American advices bring lower rates for both wheat and flour. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were very limited. From abroad we received 14,151 qrs. of wheat, 9,450 barley, 23,190 oats, 510 beans, 188 peas, 838 tares, 2,050 linseed, 40 sun dry seeds, 3,078 sacks and 16,410 barrels of flour. Fresh up, to-day, both from Essex and Kent the arrivals of English wheat were on a very moderate scale, and the general quality of the samples exhibited a falling off when compared with Monday last. The trade for both red and white qualities was decidedly firm, and all, good, and par cels realised an advance of Is to 2s per quarter, whilst inferior and damp descriptions quite supported that day's currency. There was a full average show of foreign wheat on the stands. Nearly all descriptions were in good request, and, in some instances, an advance of is per quarter on last Monday's rates was obtained. Floating cargoes of grain were taken off steadily, at ex treme rates. We were well supplied with barley, but in very poor condition. Fine qualities were held at fully previous cur rencies ; otherwise, the demand ruled heavy in the extreme, at irregular prices. The malt, trade may be considered steady, at late rates. For oats there was a steady demand, and all good and fine corn !fully maintained previous quotations. Beans were in good request, at is per quarter more money. Grey peas were scarce, and all qualities sold at very full priceo. White parcels, however, were a dull inquiry. The flour trade was firm. In prices, however, no change took place.

On the whole, the demand for it ruled steady, at quite last week's prices. From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh up exhibited a falling off when compared with Monday last, but their general quality was prime. Notwithstanding that the demand foT all breeds was inactive in some instances, the quotations advanced 2d per 81bs. The general top figure for Scots was 4s 10d, but very superior stock realised fis per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,960 Scots and short horns; from other parts of England, 600 various breeds; and from Scotland, 160 Scots and crosses. There was about an average time-of-year supply of sheep in the pens, and the general quality of most breeds was inferior. The mutton trade was slow, at the late decline in values. A few very superior old Downs sold at 6s in the wool; but the general top figure was 5s 10d per 81bs. There were about 3,500 shorn sheep on offer, at about is per Sibs beneath those in the wool. Lambs—the supply of which was limited—moved off steadily, at from 78 to 8s per 81bs. From the Isle of Wight 40 lambs came to hand.. We have to report a steady sale for calves, at very ful I prices. The supply was limited. Pigs moved off slowly, at last week's quotations.

(Peers present—The Lord Chancellor, the Lord Bishop of Carlisle, Lord St. Leonards, Lord Cranworth, Lord Chelmsford, Lord Wensleydale and other peers.) BROOK V. BROOK-MA.RRIA.GB WITH A DECEASED WIPE'S SISTER ABROAD. This was an appeal from the Court of Chancery. The appellants are James William Brook, Clara Jane Brook, Amelia Brook, and Sarah Helen Brook, all infants, under the age of 21 years, by their next friend ; and the respon dents are Charles Brook, jun., John Edward Armitage, and Edward Armitage, trustees of the will of William Leigh Brook, late of Meltham-hall, near Huddersfield, Yorkshire, and her Majesty's Attorney-General. The questions in volved are whether a marriage duly solemnised on the 7th June, 1850, at the Lutheran church of Wandsbeck, near Altona, in the duchy of Holstein, in the kingdom of Den mark, between the said William Leigh Brook and Emily Armitage, the sister of his first wife, Charlotte, then deceased, is or is not a valid marriage ? and whether the issue there of are not legitimate, or are not to be considered to be entitled to succeed to real or personal property of their father, as legitimate according to the laws of England, the said marriage being valid and the issue thereof being legi timate according to the law of the said duchy ? and whe ther Charles Armitage Brook, deceased, one of the children of the second marriage, having died, the appellant, James William Brook, the son by the first marriage, is not his heir at law, and as such capable of inheriting his real estate ; and the appellants, James William Brook and Clara Jane Brook, Charlotte Amelia Brook and Sarah Helen Brook, are not his next of kin, and as such capap %hie of taking his personal estate. William Leigh Brook married on the 20th May, 1840, Charlotte Armitage, who died in 1847, and had by her two children—namely, the appellants, James William Brook and Clara Jane Brook. In 1850 ho married at Wandsbeck, near Altona, Emily Armitage, the sister of his former wife, and by her, who died only two days before himself, had three children—viz., the appellants, Charlotte Amelia Brook, Sarah Helen, and Charles Armitage Brook; since deceased. Up to and at the time of the second mar riage, as alleged by the respondents, the parties were domi ciled in England, and bad no permanent residence in the country where it took place. The father made his will 19th September, 1855, by which he gave to his eldest son, James William Brook, his mansion of Meltham-hall, with gardens, house, ground, and farmer's cottage and land adjacent to it, not to include his mill property of any description. He then gave to his second son, James Wil liam Brook, his daughter, Clara Jane Brook, to his "re puted" son Charles Armitage Brook, and his "reputed" daughters, Charlotte Amelia and Sarah Helen Brook, the rest of his property, share and share alike, except that he gave to his two sons a double portion of the property die - posed, the property of Meltham-hall being already appro priated to his eldest son, with reversion to his second and "reputed" son Charles, in the event of his eldest son dying during his minority. In the event of both sons dying before the age of twenty-one, the I roperty of Meltham-hall was to be realised at the discretion of the trustees of his will, and the proceeds to be divided in equal portions befween the surviving sisters and "reputed" sisters who should attain the age of 21. The testator died of an attack of cholera at Cologne on the 19th of Sept., 1855 ; and on the 26th of Dec., 1855, letters of achni nistration, with the will annexed, were granted to the trustees named therein ; and they have ever since continued in possession of his large real and personal estate as trustees and executors. The children by the second marriage, on the Bth of March, 1856, filed a bill against the trustees and James William Brook for the administration of the estate; but before the cause came on for hearing Charles Armitage Brook, the son by the second marriage, died, and, according to the appellants, his rights to the real estate vested in James William Brook as his brother and heir-at-law ; and as to his personal estate, the other children, the appellants, became entitled thereto as his next of kin. The title of the appellants to the real and personal estate of the said Charles Armitage Brook was denied by the Attorney- General on the ground that the marriage of his father and mother was not valid, and his property was claimed for the Crown. The cause came on before Vice-Chancellor Stuart, who held the will to be established, but directed an inquiry whether the children of the second marriage were the legitimate issue of the testator. The Chief Clerk, by his certificate, found that the second marriage was cele brated at Wandsbeck, in Denmark; but the parties were at the time of the marriage, and at the time of their deaths, domiciled in England, and that their marriage was lawful according to the law of Denmark. The matter was argued on further consideration before the Vice-Chancellor, as sisted by Sir Cresswell Cresswell, then a judge of the Court of Common Pleas, who gave his opinion that the marriage having been solemnised between the testator and his de ceased wife's sister, however lawful it might be in the country where it took place, was, under the statute sth and 6th William IV., c. 54, which declares that such marriages were absolutely null and void, of no effect, and the children illegitimate. In this opinion the Vice-Chancellor con curred, and made a decree, declaring the marriage, whether oelebrated in the kingdom of Denmark or elsewhere, null and void to all intents and'purposes, and that the Crown was entitled to all the real and personal estate of Charles Armi tage Brook, deceased. This decree having been enrolled, the present appeal was brought. The appellants contended that the validity of a marriage and the legitimacy of its issue is to be determined according to the law of the country where it was solemnised; that according to the law of Denmark the marriage in Denmark was valid, as the marriage of a widower with his deceased wife's sister is not within the prohibited degrees of consanguinity and affinity in that country ; that the statute of Wm. IV. is only a territorial law and does not apply to her Majesty's colonies, or any other place out of Eng land and Ireland; that if the statute does apply to such mar riages by British subjects wherever they may be solemnised, yet it only made null and void such marriages as, if the statute had not been passed, would have been voidable in the Ecclesiastical Court ; and that the particular marriage, regard being had to its being valid by the law of Denmark, would not have been voidable in the Ecclesiastical Court during the lives of the parties. The respondents urge that by the Act 5 and 6 William IV., c. 54, every domiciled Englishman is made personally incapable of contracting a marriage with a deceased wife's sister either in England or elsewhere; that although the law of England admits in general the validity of a marriage between British subjects when duly celebrated in a foreign country, yet that rule applies only to the solemnities required to constitute a binding contract, and does not affect the original capacity of the parties to the contract ;• and that even if the law of the place of contract were held to extend beyond the limits assigned to it in the above argument, it could not be so far extended as to render valid a marriage between domiciled English persons, which is incestuous by the law of Eng- land. The Lord Chancellor delivered judgment at great length. After referring to the dicta of jurists and institutional writers and several Acts of Parliament, in particular the Marriage Acts of Henry VIII. and William IV., and citing foreign and English decisions on the subject, he said he had come to the conclusion that the appellant's mar riage with his deceased wife's sister was not lawful, and a ffirmed the decision of the Court of Chancery, and dis missed the appeal with costs. ,tber noble lords concurred with his lordship.

(THIS DAY.) On Saturday afternoon we attended at the pri vate view of the pictures collected together for the current season iu this now favourite and widely popular exhibition. The present is the eighth annual display of the paintings contributed, spring after spring, to the walls of the Gallery of the association at 120, Pall Mall, opposite the Opera Colonnade. The contributor:, as the eon.. noisseurs of London are well aware by this tithe, are artists of the French and Flemish schools pupils many of them of renowned Dutch and Gaßiet painters, some among their number being already (witness Mdlle. Rosa Bonheur) world-famed celebrities themselves. Altogether there are novr on view in the single apartment constituting this " Gallery" little less than 150 separate productions. Including three charming little sketches at the vestibule, there arc in all 137 pictures arranged— (alphabetically far as relates to the names of the contributors, but not in sequence according to the order, the anything but numerical order, in which they are hung)—and numbered consecutively in the catalogue. According to the courtly regle de societe, "place aux dames," and in obedience to the dictates of that priority of homage always due to un questionable genius, we should refer in the first in stance under any circumstances to the renowned ar tist already mentioned—Rosa Bonheur, as some may call her, the Landseeress of her age. Surely that, remembering her marvellous "Horse Fair," and her other extraordinary masterpieces in the representa tion of the animal kingdom, more particularly of quadrupeds. Her contributions to the present col lection number only three, however, and these three of the slightest pretension—little unambitious cabi net pictures. No. 8. A group of " Shetland Ponies." —No. 9. A cluster of " Scotch Cattle,"—. and No. 10, the gem of the three, one of the gems of the gallery, a knot of Donkeys, on a furze common, a charming. little sketch from nature, en titled, comically, " The Three Brothers," Numeri cally the first picture in the collection, and in some respects the most ambitious out of the '137 there assembled together, is No. 1, a wonderful represen tation of a " Waterfall," painted by Andrew Achenbach. The frothing and foaming and swirl of the roaring waters are marvellously depicted— and there are portions of the foliage that would have gladdened even the eyes of Hobbima. Very different indeed is the representation of the boister ous billows in Theodore Gudin's picturesque limning (61) of " The Signal"—whera, though one can almost hear the slapping and splashing of the spray on the rocks, the green waves and the greenish white spray scattered from their crests, almost one might say glare and smell of the bladders of pigment, the smearing brush and the daubed pallette. This season, how ever, it should at once be remarked, the glory of the French and Flemish gallery is in its children ! Turn to No. 40, for example, "The Naughty Boy," by T. E. Duverger, and particularly note there the little sister on the wee stool in the foreground, finger in mouth, listening awe-stricken to the remon strance of father, there, the leather-aproned black smith ! Look at that delightful urchin—standing a-stride, looking up, on the broad grin, hearkening sympathetically to the old man's " Comic Story," in. No. 69, by Louis Knaus ! Or gaze above the line upon another side of the gallery, upon Henry Schlesinger's bewitching representations—here (in No. 111) of " Sunshine"—there (in No. 112) of " Shadows"—the same laddie and the same lassie under different moods, now prettily coquetting, now pouting in anger back to back —companion pictures that we may yet hope to meet in. engrav ings, as we have already met the two kindred pic tures (were they not by the late Frank Stone ?) " Going with the Stream," and " against the Stream !" Glance then awhile, a little below the line, upon the same wall, at J. L. Gerome's sweet little cabinet picture of (59) " Soliciting Alms"—a calm little saint-headed acholyte, seated on one of the rush-bottomed chairs, the dole-bag on his knee, in that daily almonry of the people anroad, close by the benitier, just in side the porch of church or cathedral. In another part of the Gallery the same artist, Gerome, a not unworthy pupil of the late Paul Delaroche, has a far more ambitious and re markable painting than this pretty . miniature glimpse of the echolyte namely (No. 57), " Diogenes at Athens," the half naked cynic seated, cross-legged, on straw inside his tub—(a huge earthen vessel turned upon its side in the Athenian street)—just lighting his lantern to go in quest of "an Honest Man" (according to his view, as the world well knows, " a non est mann with a number of dogs squatting upon their haunches round his tub watching his proceed ings. Turning back again, however, to what we have called the glory of the French Gallery this year, its children—who will not gaze with an emotion of pleasure upon E. P. Frere's (No. 51) " Feeding the Baby ;" who will not stand awhile studying with delight every face and feature of the same artist's admirable painting (No. 49), the "Infant School at Dieppe," a picture that none will admire more, we doubt not, than W. C. T. Dobson, our Academy associate, or than. Thomas Webster, our Royal Academican. C. Fortin's (No. 48), though simply entitled " The Offering," and telling quietly much the same story in a different way, has evidently,we cannot but think, been painted with a vivid remembrance in the artist's mind the while, of Beranger' dainty chanson of La Mere Aveugle. Only here, sleep comes in stead of blindness ; and it is the mother (or com panion) not the daughter who is supposed to have been spinning. Otherwise, we can but stand before the picture, humming to one's self the while— " Quoique aveugle, je surveille ; A tout je prete I'oreille, Et vous soupirez tout bas. Votre Colin n'est qu'un traitre. Mais vous ouvrez la fenetre ; Lise, vous ne filez pas I" A delicious little riverside view is (No. 72) Emile Lambinet's " Towing-path on the Seine, near Bougival," the artist being a pupil of Horace Vernet, of Drolling and of Boisselier. There are two nobly conceived and solemnly impressive scrip tural pictures by another pupil of the late Paul Delaroche, a pupil of his not yet mentioned in this notice—namely, Monsieur C. F. Jalabert—an artist whose exquisite limning of another scripture scene. a scene long since hackneyed in art, L'Annoncia tion, has long been to ourselves an object of peculiar admiration. The young Hebrew maiden startled from her prayers—(while yet kneeling, as it were sidelong, in adoration) —by gel H ere i n these t h celestial apparition ot p ictu re s la t o e f s G a the Arch anl from the brush of M. Jalabert, the themes are chosen from the life of our Lord himself, not from that of the Mater Christi ever Blessed and Virginal. In No 57, it is " Christ Preaching" from the boat upon the lake of Genesareth—and in No. 58, it is " Christ in the Garden of Olives " rousing Peter and John from their slumbers to the awful on coming of the Passion and the Crucifixion. Enough has been here said, however, already, we trust to induce all the lovers of art who have leisure now in London, to pay at least one visit to the Gallery in Pall Mall now adorned with this varied and interesting collection of paintings —pictures contributed by seventy six of the most skilled pupils in the Art Schools of France and Flanders. DEATII OF LORD LILFORD.—We have to an nounce the death of Lord Lilford,. who expired on Friday p l ar s o t, tra a c t t L ed df a o n rd-hal, the dpainlfuliunfaemssi.ly Thomas n ina e s a O Atherton th tm ert d on le, after Powys, Baron Lilford, of Lilford, county of Northampton, in the Peerage of Great Britain, was the eldest of the six sons of Thomas, second Lord, by Henrietta Maria, eldest daughter and coheir of Mr. Robert Atherton, of Atherton-WI, Lan cashire, He was born 2d December, 1801, and on the death of his father in July, 1825, he succeeded to the title an estates.
