THE PINS ARTS AT GLASGOW.

The Scottish Exhibition of Arts and Manufactures
einftected with architecture was opened as Friday is the
building erected for the purpose in Bath street, Glasgow.
Tee occasion drew "'lsobar a very I sego assenshistre of the
tkehios and beauty of the western metropolis et Boatload.
Amass ether parties protest is their official *afloat, were
the Hos. the Lord Prevost, Sir Archibald Alias, Bart.,
sheriff of the entity ; Sheriff Bell, the magistrates and
memben of Tows :curial, sad a large gathering of the
leftmost inkiness of Edinburgh and the West of Scotland.
The Hon. the LORD Paovort took the chair at 1 o'clock,
sad after prays, by the Bee. N. Wined, and the ebantiag
of Non nodes Downie by the choir, delivered a ratable in-
troductory address..
Mr. WILLIS Out= read the report of the eftemittee of
einagemeet ; the adefeles eif whin was moved is an slos
quern @posh by Sir ArchibeM Allene entailed by Mr. R.
Stewart, and gonad by eftiamatima
The choir then sung a Chelelmer elethem, the Lord Pro-
vost declared the eaMbilime”s•Oad .Ifist snag
Ur-
minted with the sissies el the Manna Asthma by the
choir, followed by the peasemesei Ms sante patsiotic
strat by the organ, and stemmas by the bead of the
Glasgow Yeomanry. A lusty cheer was Ores Mei by the
Lord Prnost, sad the forma part of tle pressedings was
at an end.
In the course of the day, besides the lug. assemblage who
witnessed the opening ceremony, the eahibitios was visited
by great nweben of the citizens, whose uniform "pinion of
the great merit and magnifies:lee of the weeks el art, and
their arrangement, proved the complete semen of this
highly creditable enterprise of the Glasgow ershitensral
festinates. The building itself is very unpreleetious in
external appearance. The front is just what it was when the
buddies, which was purchased for the exhibieles„ was in-
habited by one of the Glasgow merchant prisms, with this
difference, that the former entrance has bees deed, sad
deseways up in the wings. The estenem feedlate enaiswucorridors, from which the viderafts skint
sates at onee into the groat ball, er mend by a specifts
entrain to the galleries. Thagelmelpsi eplitlenst heaths
ground-floor. It is 6,i feet league,rm& of 10 breed, and
run the whole height of the ed bring VOW from the
roof. The most prominent work* it en ore displayed in
this room—such as statuary, model, sad *Mee of our na-
tive monuments, and the priaeltbee
meselents of the conti-
nent. His Royal Higbnsee Albert, his Grace
the Duke of Hamilton, Lord Bethune, C. Cumming
Bruce, Esq., and James Dennistoun, Esq., have otatributed
Tellable works of art to this section of the exhibition.
Several noble sculptures from the studio of John Thomas
adorn thin hall, and a fine collection of iron, brass, and
oak furniture, for eceleriastical palpate. There is also
a fine display of stained eye, largely contributed
by Mr. Delaney's', of Edinburgh. The statuary, in
some amok is of marble, and other lasting material, but the
greater patios consists of casts from fine originals. There
an a number of beautiful designs and models in papier-mis-
chi, tern-Gotta, and plaster of Paris, received, for the most
part, from Berlin and Paris. On one aide of this principal
hall are a series of small apartments below the gallery, and
lighted by side lights. These are arranged so as to give en
Idea of whit might be done in the way of reducing the
tarnishing of a house to a regular system, in which har-
mony and taste should be recognised principles. The SOF
pets and tapestries are gorgeous; but it is in the
ment of these, rather than in the excellence of thearlMires-
themselves, that the merit of this department of the exhibi-
tion enlists. The gallery is chiefly occupied by a very ex-
Mine collection of drawings and casts, classified chrono-
logically, so as to illustrate the progress of architecture
through the successive stages of Assyrian, Egyptian, Greek,
Roman, Revival, and Gothic art ; in short, so as to furnish
the student of architecture with a pictorial history of the
art with which he desires to acquaint himself. Among this
collection we ()burred many of the drawings of the traveller
Bruce and of David Roberts. It is intended, we learn, to pur-
chase most of them, and of the works of art in other sections
of the Exhibition, for the purpose of forniiog a permanent
museum of the art of architecture and its cognate branches
of wood-carving, sculpture, do. The whole expense of
the undertaking, as far as it lace gone, is not less than
B,oool.—Bdinberpd COW• 1114.

EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OF A CLERGY-
MAN.

On Sunday afternoon last. says the Hudders-
field Briuniser, • poor man and his wife, wean-
palsied by the necessary sponsors, attended at the
church of Fansllay-Tye, near this town, for the
purpose of having their chid baptised. The rev. in-
cumbent, it seems, performed this ceremony after reading
the sewed lesson, when he descended frem the reading-desk
and proceeded is the font, near which the parties were
seated. The ceremony was then commenced and proceeded
with as far as asking the godmother the usual question of
" Wilt thou do se and so, on behalf of the child." During
the question the child was " cross," and the godmother did
not (etch its import, and, of course, did not answer. We
have known ministers of the gospel who would have meekly
told • " sponsor " what to answer ; but not so the " chap
lain to the Earl of Dartmouth." This rev. gentleman, in
stal of doing that, vociferated, to the great surprise of the
congregation, " Begone about your business, you don't
know what ysu come hue for," and so saying he left the
child unbeptised, and walked away from the font, and the
prunes bad to go to Almondbury, where the child was
baptised is a manlier becoming • minister. After this
eau e on the chant—" Lord now letteat thy servant depart
in peace," &c., and we titz.y joy observe here that there is
ao choir at learnley-Tyas church, the clerk and conga..ga-
llon do all the clueing; but the good people having wit-
nessed emcee* 90 opposite to that which called forth the
above prayer of " good old Simeon," could not join in the
Wearing, and the clerk and organ bad it all to themselves ;
fad this feeling in the congregation pervaded the remainder
of the service.
