We may hereafter enter more largely into the particulars comprised in this return ; but we have enough, we trust, to justify us in saying that no Englishman can look on the actual force—availa ble of immediate extension—and gradually increasing aggregate of our steam navy, without a proud but serene consciousness of his country's maritime greatness, and unbounded confidence, if she be but true to it, in the ado ' quacy of its resource* to meet any exigencies at any moment—so long as this confidence shall not generate a laxity of administration in the civil departments of the service. There is still much to do; and nothing is to be considered certain, humanly speaking, whilst aught remains to be done in that further progress to complete ness and efficiency which our honour and our interests alike demands. The more pacific character and generally-modified tone of the last intelligence from the United States are indications of a wholesome aspect in the relations of that Government with our own, on which we heartily congra tulate our readers. In the recent Convention between England and France for the repression of the slave-trade, as well as in many of the discussions of the Chambers, we perceive the grounds of a well-founded presumption that the serious misunderstandings which of late years have gone so near to precipitate a hostile collision be tween the two monarchies, are becoming day after day less probable, or at least less dangerous. Yet still we adhere to that fundamental maxim of an insular policy, that the best guarantee for peace is a condition prepared for war. And it is, therefore, that we give the Govern ment due credit for the unremitted exertions they are making in the dock and building yards, and in the manning of our ships, to get up the navy to that pitch of efficiency which the periodical statements of Sir CHARLES NAPIER, Captain BERKELEY, and other naval authori ties, backed by the remonstrances of the Press, have shown to be indispensable to the security and greatness of this empire. We are willing to hope we shall hear no more of such absurdities as the sending out ships of war with peace complements, as they are called; the ab surdity of which may be thus illustrated: that if in war time it takes so many hands to work a gun of a given calibre and weight, and to handle sails of such and such dimensions, and to work a ship of such a given tonnage, in time of peace it will require no more than one-half of the same hands to perform the same services and go through the same work. An admirable device of the Board of Admiralty to secure the loss of such ships when gales and hurricanes take it into their heads to blow, just the same as if they, too, were on a peace esta blishment, and for disgusting sailors in peace with the double work which devolves on a ship's complement, re duced by one-half, that they will scarcely be tempted to enter voluntarily in war time, when they must naturally, though it be erroneously, even anticipate increased de mands on their physical energies. But it cannot be too often insisted upon—first, " that in the event of a war, its issue must be determined, so far as this country is concerned, by the maintenance of a de cided superiority in that main arm of maritime power, our steam navy ; and, secondly, that of all other de scriptions of naval force this it is which it is least possible to provide and organise on a sudden emergency. It follows that it should be a paramount object of any English Minister's solicitude to be at all times prepared with a fleet of war steam-vessels and ships that in point of size and construction, of number, equipment, and effi ciency, shall be available for active service at the shortest possible notice. Now, as to the requisites of size and construction, we may reasonably hope that the awakened vigilunoo of Parliament and the public, acting upon that department of the national service which is more pecu liarly charged with the superintendence of naval affairs, will have very shortly reformed past errors, adopted all tried and successful improvements, and brought to bear all the seal, perseverance, and industry of a Board entrusted with enormous funds, and respon sible to a watchful and jealous people for their adminis tration in a manner to uphold the vital interests and vindicate the honour of the country. With regard to the essentials of equipment and efficiency, they may be, and are, in reference to the number of the vessels, compara tive only. It is enough that there should be a nucleus of first-class steam ships of war of the strongest force and most formidable armament, fully manned, and worked by the most powerful and best protected machinery, provided you have the means of increasing your steam fleet at the first outbreak of any hostile col lision, or in anticipation of its immediate advent, at a very few days' notice. From recent revelations in the House of Commons, it is to be concluded that we have already something more than such a nucleus to boast of, in a state of complete and effective preparation—and by the time that the other large war steamers, already built, shall have had those alterations and improvements com pleted of construction, position of engines, and adapta tion of the screw and the propeller, to the immediate adop tion of which Sir G. COCKBURN has pledged himself in the most emphatic manner, we shall have a force of war steamers superior to all the combined steamer fleets that other maritime powers could bring against us. But if we look at the number of armed steamers which England at any moment would be in a condition to take up for war service, whether on the high seas, or on the coasts or up the lurbours and rivers of an enemy's country, her own superiority in this supreme arm of naval power is manifestly incontestible. The history of nations, per haps, does not present a parallel to such a cumulative force. ordinance was passed approving of the statutes of the Company. The duration of the lease is fixed at forty-five years. The Lyons and Avignon line was also adopted, and the amendment of M. BOISSY D'ANGLAs, to have it pass on the right bank of the Rhone, rejected. It was announced in the Chamber, that, on Monday, the Minister of Marine would propose an extraordinary vote of credit for 10,000,000 francs, to carry out the new treaty for the suppression of the slave-trade. Some of the papers state, that Admiral Dung- TIT TstorAits will be appointed to the command of the fleet, to be stationed on the African coast, for carrying the treaty into effect. He will hoist his flag in a fifty gun frigate, and Captain BOUxT Vuni.AmEz, who attended the Duke DE BROGLIE, in London, during the negotiations, will be the second in command. The Minister of Marine had addressed a circular to the Marine Prefects, recommending the use of tubular boilers for the steamers of the royal navy, as the old boilers became unfit for service. As these boilers are at pre sent entirely constructed abroad, the Minister recommend the Prefectsto direct the attention of the iron-masters to the subject, in order to induce them to supply such boilers without having recourse to foreigners. The following particulars of the arrival of the Royal Family at Biz) , appear in the Moniteur :—" On Wednesday, the KING, the QUEEN, the Duchess of ORLEANS, the Count DE Penis, the Duke DE CHARTRES, the Duke and Duchess of SAXE CO BURG, and the young Duke of WUItTEMBURG, attended by Generals Count FRLANT and DE CHABANNES, MM. DE MONT GUYON and DE MONTMORENCY, two orderly officers, and the suite of their Majesties and Royal Highnesses, were received at the Vernon station by the Prefect, General LALAING D'AUDENARDE, the Commandant of the National Guard, and the other authorities. The royal party immediately entered their carriages, and proceeded to the Chateau de Busy. The KING soon afterwards came out again on foot, leading the Count DE PARIS by the hand, and accompanied by the young Dukes DE CHARTRES and WURTEMBURG, and reviewed the troops drawn up on the road, by whom and a large assemblage of the people he was received with loud and continued acclama tions. After the review his MAJESTY re-entered the chateau, and received the Bishop of EvnEux, and the civil and mili tary authorities." On Friday afternoon the royal party returned to Neuilly in excellent health. The annual general meeting of the proprietors of the New Zealand Company, was productive of some ex traordinary disclosures touching the want of good faith displayed by the Colonial Department in particular, and by both the Home and the Colonial Secretaries per. sonally, in their recent correspondence, er rather nego tiations with the Company. We have, on many for mer occasions, expressed a not very favourable opinion of the good faith evinced by the Directors of this very Company, in their dealings with settlers and emigrants' whose purchases of lands, for any benefit they brought to them, or any equivalent which they yielded for their own good money, might just as well have been made for land in Abyssinia or the Khyber mountains. We are by no means prepared to say, that the New Zealand Company have ever expurgated their character from the imputations which have been cast upon it by so many luckless victims of the peculiar me thod, in times past, of selling lands which they had not the means of delivering, because they never were in their authenticated and established possession. We can not see that any sort of reparation has yet been made to those martyrs to their own credulity and the puffery of the WAKEFIELD principle of making colonies pay their own expenses, who voyaged 12,000 miles out to a land of promise, and—if they did not die there--tra veiled 12,000 miles home again, only to record, in their own experience, that they had been sold, if the lands had not been delivered. But when we see a meeting of so many gentlemen of mark and credit assembling to hear, and voting unanimously to confirm a "report," in which they not only accuse the Govern ment of positive duplicity, but make out a case to show that, in these transactions with it, at least, they had to choose the alternative of profit with dishonour, by closing with the views of the Colonial Minister, or honour without profit, by persisting in vindicating their own claims, and the rights and the protection of the colonists. We must suppose that the present Directors of the New Zealand Company feel themselves strong in the moral justice as well as legal bearings of the case they have so well developed in the report which was read at the proprietary meeting in question. We might have been better pleased, to be sure, had Mr. SOAMES, the Governor of the Company, been at his post, seeing that he was not exempted, among other influen tial authorities, from the bitter denunciations of deceived and defrauded purchasers)—instead of being " detained by a particular engagement." But there were among other Members f Parliament, Lord INGESTRE, Mr. H. A. AGLIONBY, Mr. CHARLES BULLER, Mr. J. A. SMITH, Mr. S. MAJORIBANKS, Mr. R. D. MANGLES besides Sir Joins PIRIE, Baronet, General BRIGGS: Captain NAIRN, Dr. Everts, &c., present on this occa sion ; and the report of the Committee which was read undoubtedly must be taken as pledging all those parties to the same views as it announced of the deportment of Lord STANLEY and Sir JAMES GRAHAM—and of the in capacity, misconduct, and absurdities of the late Go vernor FITZROY. It appears that the cause of Mr. C. BULLER'S deferring his motion relative to New Zealand, which would have brought the whole conduct of the Colonial Minister to the Company and to the colonists under the review of Parliament, was a suggestion con fidentially given by Sir JAMES GRAHAM, in an interview which he had with Mr. BULLER about a week prior to the day for which this notice stood—that if it were, as a preliminary condi tion, withdrawn, the Government would be disposed to settle the disputes between it and the Company amicably —which it could not do, if it appeared to act under any stress or pressure—•such as that of a pending motion for such a Committee of Inquiry. Mr. BULLER consented, had some personal conferences with Sir J. GRAHAM, and by that Minister was induced to submit the specific proposition he had tendered for the consideration of Government in writing, for the opinion of Lord STAN LEY. That proposition went on the basis of obviating all necessity for any fresh adjudication upon the mat ters immediately at issue, by constituting a new pro vince in New Zealand, which formed a part of the middle and a part of the more northern districts of the island, and vesting this in a new Company, in which the New Zealand Company should merge, under arrangements for the security of its present interests and property. The proposition was discussed largely between Sir J. GRAHAM, Mr. BULLER, and Lord STANLEY, who, though he took some objections to particular details, instructed Sir JAMES afterwards to inform Mr. BULLER. that he did not look upon those objections as insuperable. This produced a second written letter from Mr. CHARLES BULLER to Lord STANLEY, who—after the motion had been withdrawn, and the time for urging such matters with effect on the House of Commons was fast waning away—intimated to Mr. BULLER that Government now found its objections to his propositions were insuperable This cavalier treatment is as much characteristic of Lord STANLEY (who never imagines that all the world should not stand still when the Colonial office is of opinion that it ought not to move), as the extraordinary account given by Dr. EVANS of Governor FITZROY'S extrava gancies in New Zealand is of Downing-street patronage pets. For all these matters we must refer the reader to our report. At parting we cannot help saying that the law of poetical justice has been well observed in this affair. If the New Zealand Company, at its outset, victimised emigrant yeomen with some little money and much less sagacity, the New Zealand Company e., its Directors) has been absurdly victimised in its turn, by Ministers of some little sagacity, and no scruples. That Mr. CHARLES BULLER (" good, easy man 1") should have been deluded into postponing his motion by so notorious a political hocusser as Sir J. GRAHAM, is, however, marvellous to us, who held a very high opinion of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman's genera shrewdness, as well as singular talent and ability. A return, which was moved for by Admiral DUNDIS on the 18th of March last, and was ordered to be printed on the 2d instant by the House of Commons, is now before us. It is entitled "A Return of the names and descrip tion of all steam-vessels registered in the ports of the United Kingdom, when and where built, tons, horse power, length, breadth, draught of water, and what armament capable of carrying." We believe that this valuable document is mainly owing to the in quiries of a Commissioner, dispatched some year and a half ago by the Government to the principal eutports, with the view of ascertaining how many of the larger steamers engaged in the passage, or carrying, and the coasting trade, could be converted in an interval of a few days into vessels of offensive and defensive arma ments. The statistics of this paper are eminently satis factory ie, relation to those very important subjects of inquiry. We have devoted some time to extract a few results that may, in part, compensate for the want of arrangement and simplicity which are to be complained of in the preparation of the " return." The only claw- . sification attempted in it is of ports. But there are no added up aggregates to guide the judgment Of the reader, or rather to facilitate it. We have summed up a total of upwards of 800 steamers of all tonnage and dimensions ; and the deductions to be made for disabled or laid-up are so few, that they would scarcely infringe upon that number. There are not twenty reported as engaged in service abroad ; and of those the ma jority are serving in Egypt or in India. The whole return is entirely exclusive, of course, of all steamers in the QUEEN'S service, of whatever kind. For the port of London are reported between 250 and 260 ; and of these no less than 109 are armed, or capable of carrying the armaments respectively assigned to them. These arma ments would comprise, of swivel guns, 2,3, and 4- pounders, and " small guns," twenty-five; of 6-pounders, ninety-four ; of 8,9, and 10-pounders, twenty ; of 12- pounders, thirty-five ; of 12-pounder carronades, thir teen ; of 18-pounders, forty-five, and of 18-pounder carronades a like number ; of 18 long pounders, thirty • one ; of 24-pounders, two; of 32 long-pounders, fourteen; and ditto carronades, fourteen ; of 68-pounders, two guns. One steamer is pierced for twenty guns ; fifteen will carry what are designated heavy guns, to the number of about seventy ; and another will mount ten guns. For Liverpool forty-two steamers are re ported;t s o _fe u ig n h d t ers, pounders6-and four to on only four fo Ld ur aP l t 2 e - d po fo u r nd a e a rs a ; rram twelve aen p o 32-pounders, on 28 ves se l s .

Of these 27 vessels, 12 are armed, or capable of carrying armaments. nts. The Madrid Gazette of the Ist inst. publishes a law, passed by the Cortes, by which the sum of 159,000,000 reels (1,590,0001.) is appropriated for the maintenance of the clergy, and also a royal decree appointing a commission of three clergymen and two civilians, the Archbishop of TOLEDO, pre sident, to superintend the expenditure. Also a decree con firming the contract entered into with the bank of San Fer nando opening a credit of 100,000,000 reals for the stipends of the clergy and the maintenance of public worship durng the present year. The Finance Minister was actively en gaged in organising the system for levying the income-tax passed last session, and the Minister of the Interior was preparing the organic laws.

The French Chamber of Deputies was engaged, during the latter part of last week, in discussing the Bills for lines of railway from Paris to Lyons, and from Lyons to Avignon and the debate on the first Bill was brought to a close on Saturday, when, without any material alteration, it was adopted by a large majority. M. MURET DE BORT had pro posed an amendment, the object of which was to compel the Lyons. Company to use the Orleans Railway line, as a trunk common to both, as far as Corbeil, but the Chamber negatived the amendment. The line will, consequently, run from the Paris terminus, to be esta blished on the right bank of the Seine, near the site of the Bastille, cross the communes of Bercy and Charenton, pass Villeneuve Saint Georges, between the town and the Seine; ascend to the high grounds of the Brie, by the valley of the Yeres, and proceed along these grounds to the town of ; thence to Fontainebleau, near which town it will pass ; it will then traverse the valley of the Loing, between Moret and St. Mamet, and following the valley of the Seine, arrive at Montereau, proceeding along the valley of the Yonne, as far as La Roche ; thence ascend through the valley of the Armaniion to Aisy ; then go through the valleys the Brenne and the Oze ; cross at Blaisy-Bas the high ground between the Seine and the SaOne, and arrive at Dijon at such a point as shall be determined on by the Government. The Chalons to Lyons line will be established on the right bank of the Saone, pass near Sennecey, on to Tournus and Macon, and traverse the city of Lyons at a point to be decided on by the Government before the public adjudication. The following is article 64, which relates to caution money :—" Whoever proposes to send in a tender for the adjudication must pre viously deposit in the Caisse des Depots et Consignations, 24,000,000 f. in cash, State stock, or public securities, of which sum 6,000,000 f. shall be set apart specially as caution money for the sections from Paris to Dijon, and from Chalons to Lyons." The Finance Minister said, as the sum required pre viously, as reguired that by thes such ch sum article, for caution money was on ly 16,000,000 f., o u t of the 24,000,000 f., he should propose be bnt d th ep a o t si t t h ed e opal iouB,ooo,ooof, which was considered as part payment of the sum to bO paid the State for the works which they might have executed on the line, 4041 be paid before the Royal The following are miscellaneous extracts from the papers : " The Mode, a Paris journal, says—' Whatever may be asserted to the contrary, the dissolution of the Chamber of Deputies is de termined on, and the new elections are to take place in the month of November next.' " " The Semaphore de Marseilles of the 4th instant announces that, in consequence of the Minister of Commerce having re cently modified the quarantine regulations, without previously consulting the Sanitary Board of that city, the members, consider ing their dignity compromised, and being unwilling to incur the responsibility of acts to which they have not been parties, have all sent in their resignations. " The Egyptian steamer Nile arrived at Marseilles on the 2d inst. from Leghorn, where she had called in on her passage from Alexandria. Halim Bey, one of the sons of the Pacha of Egypt, came passenger in that vessel, with 23 young Egyptians. " A Vienna letter of the 29th ult. says One of our Archdukes will go to Gotha to pay the compliments of the Court to the Queen of England on her arrival there, and it is said that the King of Prussia will have an interview with her Majesty, but it is net pro. bable that this will take place at Berlin.'''

HER MAJESTY'S BAL COSTUME.—The coiffures Of the following distinguished personages, made and dressed by Mr. Willis, of *mat Marlborough-street, attracted universal admira tion :—Prince Edward, Count Esterhasy, Marquis of Worcester, Earl of Fife, Lord Clanricarde, Earl of Rosalyn, Earl of March, the Hon. W. Bagot, Sir William Cavendish, Sir Watkins W. Wynn, Captain Pitt, Lord Nelson, &e. &c. SIR JAMES GRAHAM AND MR. TWYFORD.—O❑ Saturday a meeting of the Marylebone Vestry took place, when several Members of Parliament and influential persons were pre sent. The Rev. Dr. Spry, the Rector, having taken the chair. Mr. Gomm brought forward the motion of which he had given notice, that the vestry call upon the Borough Members to bring the case of Mr. Mayer before the House of Commons, on the ground that the letter received by the vestry from Sir James Graham was not satisfactory. Sir B. Hall, Sir Charles Napier; and General Evans expressed their approbation of the conduct pursued by the vestry, but said they considered the condemnation of the course pursued ,by Mr. Twyford, circulated as it would be throughout the country, sufficient puni , •hment for the fault. Mr. Williams, M.P., also concurred in what the vestry had done, and said he would be happy to move in the House of Commons for the production of the correspondence between Sir J. Graham and Mr. Twyford. Several other gentlemen having spoken, Mr. Gomm asked permission to withdraw his motion, as the course which Mr. Williams had declared his intention of pursuing would answer every purpose aimed at by the vestry. This being assented to, the vestry separated. 'The Constitutionnel states the report of the arrival of M. d'Aubigny in Paris was unfounded. Immediately after his arrival at Rochefort, in the Embuscade, whieh left Otaheite on the 20th January, and Brazil on the 12th of April, M. d'Aubigny pro. seeded to Lorient to visit his family, and was there to await the orders of the Minister of Marine. Count Ney, the French Charge d'Affaires at the Court of Brazil, and Lieutenant-Colonel Favereau who had the military command at the Marquesas, also arrived in the Embuscade. SALE OP A CADETSHIP.—Mr. John Henry Drew, auctioneer, King William-street, and Mr. James Rallet, of Bays water, were charged before Mr. Hardwick, at Marlborough-street, on Saturday, with being concerned in negotiating for the sale of a cadetship in•the East India Company's service, in violation of the 49th statute of George 111., sec. 12d, which makes such proceed ings a misdemeanour. Mr. Clarkson attended to prosecute on be half of the Chairman and Directors of the East India Company, and stated that the offence with which the defendants were charged consisted in having negotiated for the sale of a cadetship in the Company's service to a person named James Matthews Boswell, the stepson of a gentleman named Coppard. The amount of the sale of this cadetship was one thousand guineas, which was to be paid by Mr. Coppard into the hands of Mr. Sprye, on the part of the two parties at the bar, and other parties who were not, but who would shortly be, before the Court. A gentleman named Mr. Shank, formerly a director of the East India Company, was the person through whose intercession and influence this appointment was said to be promised by the parties accused. After a lengthened investigation, Mr. Hardwick agreed to admit both parties to bail, upon entering into their own recognisance for 5001., and finding two sureties to be bound in the sum of 5001. each. THE. GRAND CALEDONIAN BALL.—This magnifi cent reunion takes place to-night, under auspices that will secure a numerous and brilliant assemblage of our leading nobility. The several ladies patronesses had disposed of the whole of their vouchers on Friday last; but, owing to the urgent solicitations of some in fluential persons, we learn that a limited number will be issued at double the ordinary charge. The exchange of vouchers has already exceeded 900. Most of the *ores diplomatiqus have ac cepted the invitations of the ladies patronesses, and Prince Lieven, Prince Galatain, and several distinguished foreigners, have signified it as their intention to be at the ball, by the fact of applying for vouchers. The members of the Royal Family will be received by the ladies patronesses, and will meet in the saloon commonly called the tea-room, where the Duke of Wellington, the Foreign Ministers, &c., will also assemble. It is said the splendid ballroom and con necting rooms, as well as the supper.room below, are all to be ar ranged precisely as at the Waverley ball last season. A number of ladies have promised to be present in the superb dresses they wore at the royal bal costume on Friday night ; and the Marquis of Breadalbane, the Marquis of Lorn, and Lord Macdonald, will be among the noblemen wearing the Highland garb, who fully intend to appear in the rich additions to the national costume of Scotland after the mode of 1740 to 1750. The Duchess of Suther land, the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch, the Duke and Du chess of Norfolk. the Duchess of Somerset, the Marquis and Marchioness of Breadalbane, the Marquis and Marchioness of Abercorn, the Countess of Roseberry, the Duchess de Coigny, the Marchioness of Lorn, the Marquis and Marchioness of Douglas, and above 500 personages of title have agreed to honour the ball by their presence.

RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.—We publish in another par of The Sun, the return made by the Railway Depart ment of the Board of Trade of the accidents that have oc curred for the quarter ending the Ist of April this year. It is a remarkable fact, that all the fatal accidents (which amount to 22), except 4, happened to persons connected with the railway lines. Only two passengers, one tres passer, and a girl of eleven years of age, were killed. The other accidents, not fatal, bear about the same pro portion. Indeed, the accidents by railways are not one quarter of what formerly took place by coaches. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

(Continued from the last Notice.) 275. " The Eve of tho Battle of Edge-hill." C. Land seer, R.A. Elect. " King Charles I. is said to have taken refreshment, and to have slept, with the two Princes, at a cottage in Radway, between which place and Kineton was the field of battle. The principal group is intended to represent a council of war, including portraits of King Charles 1., the Earl of Liudesay, General Prince Rupert, who commanded the horse, Sir Jacob Astley, the Lord Bernard Stuart, and Sir Edward Verney, who car ried the King's standard. On the left are the two Princes, Charles and James."—See Clarendon. The grouping and colouring of this picture are excellent, but the principal figure, that of Charles L, is too theatrical. It is a gentleman acting Charles 1., who has made up the character admirably, not Charles I. himself. It lacks that sweet and melancholy expression which Vandyke has given to the features of this unhappy mo narch, and which, whether correctly or not, is insepara bly associated with our ideas of the Martyr Monarch. 292. " Scene in Lord Chesterfield's Ante•rooro, &c." E. M. Ward. " Seven years, my lord, have now past, since I waited in your outward rooms, or was repulsed from your door ; during which time I have been push ing on my work through difficulties of which it is useless to complain, and have brought it, at last, to the verge of publication, without one act of assistance, one word of encouragement, or one smile of favour. Such treatment I did not expect, for I never had a patron before."—Bos well's Life of Johnson. Is a picture not unworthy the pencil of Hogarth himself. The solidity (we had almost written stolidity) of the great lexicographer contrasts ad mirably with the frivolity of the crowd of parasites by whom he is surrounded. There is a figure of a black in troduced, which is quite Hogarthian. 304. " Commodore Nelson boarding the San Nicolas, at the Battle of St. Vincent," by Sir W. Allen, RA., should be purchased by Government, and placed in Greenwich Hospital. 325. " Sabrina," W. E. Frost, is one of the most beautiful and really classical pictures of the exhibition. The moment illustrated is that in which Sabrina " Commended her fair innocence to the flood, That stayed her flight with his cross-flowing course. The water-nymphs, that in the bottom played, Held up their pearled wrists and took her in, Bearing her straight to aged Nereus' Hall." The grouping of the water-nymphs is graceful exceed ingly. The colouring, too, is fine ; and, taken as a whole, this picture is a gem. 405. " Jerusalem, from the Mount of Olives," D. Ro berts, R.A. A splendid Oriental landscape. 444. " Mr. Robertson's Little Wonder winning the Derby, in the year 1840," A. Cooper, R.A. A vivid and faithful representation of one of the most interest ing events in the sporting world. 460. " The Judgment of Adam and Eve," and 610. " The Fall of Man," J. Martin. These are companion pictures, and pictures which can at once be recognised as from the easel of Martin. There is the same subli mity of conception—the same expression of vastness— the same grand features of the landscape, which distin guish all the compositions of this great artist, and there is also the same faulty treatment of the figures. They are thoroughly Martinesque, in every sense of the word. 540. " The United Service," A. Morton. An inte resting picture in the early style of Wilkie, representing the Chelsea pensioners' visit to their friends at Greenwich. The value of the picture is enhanced by the fact, that the figures are all portraits of veterans domiciled in the two hospitals. 777. " Harleeh Castle, North Wales," W. Bennett. This is an excellent drawing of a most romantic scene. Tho atmospheric effects in this picture are very beautiful. 825. " The Christening of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, in St. George's Chapel, Windsor," painted on ivory, Sir W. J. Newton. One of the most richly-coloured, elaborately-drawn specimens of painting upon ivory ever exhibited. It is really a gorgeous draw ing, and looks like one of the richest illustrations of an ancient illuminated missal. 859. " Love Awakening," &c. P. S. Tait. " Hush 1 hush I' said Venus ; no other Sweet voice but his own is worthy to wake him.' Dreaming of music, he slumbered the while, Till faint from his lips a soft melody broke, And Venus, enchanted, looked on with a smile, While Love to his own sweet singing awoke."—Moore This is a beautiful picture by an artist with whose name we have been hitherto unacquainted, but it is a picture of very great promise. We use the word artist in this instance advisedly, for this picture is evidently the work of one who has studied art in the school of the Italian Masters, and has become thoroughly imbued with their spirit. The tone and colouring of this picture is very fine, and the grouping is exquisite. We shall ex pect great things hereafter from Mr. R. S. Tait. Imme diately opposite Mr. Tait's picture we have -1,029. " The Favourite." J. King. A girl fondling a dog. This likewise is the production of a true artist. The expression of the girl's features is very good—the drawing is beautiful, and there is great ease and grace fulness displayed in the general management of the sub ject. In looking at the architectural drawings it is im possible not to be struck with the re-action which has taken place in the public taste in favour of gothic archi tecture. The specimens of gothic in this portion of the exhibition were, in former years, few and far between, the Grecian and Palladian styles then bore undisputed sway. The reign, however, of the Gothic and Tudor ar chitecture seems now, however, to have returned, and among the architectural drawings in this style, one of the most beautiful is— 1,129. " View of the Garden Front at Ingress, the seat of James Harmer, Esq., Greenhithe, Kent, erected from the designs and under the superintendence of C. Moreing," an architectural drawing of the garden front of the Palatial Gothic residence of Mr. Harmer, at Greenhithe. We now go to the sculpture-room, and occupying the centre of the room we find 1,339. " A bust of Louis Philippe." J. E. Jones. A faithful and accurate portrait bust of the most astute of modern monarchs,and, as a work of art, worthy the spot which it occupies in the exhibition-room—the place of Chantrey. 1,327. "Statue, in marble, of a Nymph preparing for the Bath," E. 13. Bally, 8.A., is one of those b eau tif u lly graceful female figures which Baily alone, of all living sculptors, can model. 1,329. " Paul and Virginia," W. C. Marshall, is a beautifully sculptured group. Paul is bearing Virginia in his arms, and wading with her across the stream. It is a human Cupid and Psyche. 1,374. " Marble bust of Professor Wilson," J. Fillans, is a life-like and characteristic p o rt ra i t . I t i s t h e very e ffi g y of the renowned Christopher N ort h. 1,382. " Bust, in marble, of a Lady," J. E. Carew, is one of the finest busts in th e co lk etion. There i s an individuality about the expression of the features which convinces the spectator that it must b e a portra i t, while, as a work of art, it is exquisite. A sweet seriousness seems to sadden the countenance, as if life had but just departed, while the fi ne l o f ty forehead and angelic mien betoken a mind of rare sensibility.
