FINE ARTS.

THE BRITISH INfrTITIITION.

The British Institution has entered upon another
year 01 its slaggh-li extensile with t►e annual exhibit/0e of
modern paiutings, opened to the public to-day. Here as.
easambled once more upwards of SOO examples of art as it
is practised by the like number of painterr, rod probably
ten times that number come under the desomitration of
British artists. These productions have the advantage of
an excellent pllery in a part of the metropolis where
hundred. of thegreat aristocratie patrons and amateurs of
English art pass the entrance every day. These persons are
indeed the directors and supporters of tl e British Institu-
tion, aid to heighten its prestige, her Msjtsty' Guards mount
guard over the collection, as if it contained the choicest
of catiuoal treasures. Nevertheless every year the load
of miserable commonplace pictures and utter daubs
comes rolling beck to us, and every catalogue shows how
shunned the gallery is u an arena for those p►inters who
really represent English art. It happens this year that Sir
Edwin Lrodseer—out of pity, it must be presumed—has
wan book to the plane ea the walls which he had not
filled for some years, and thus conferred the one redesatin
feature in the eaLibitioe. As to works from other wade.
miciaas, there are certainly three by Mr. H. W. PickengiU,
ILA., w hich might well have been spared, since they accord
only too well with the many signs of decrepitude in the
inst:tution.

For any of the "rising talent" and effort of healthy ambi-
tion, noticeable in the Academy Exhibition, we look in vain ;
with the exception of two small and unimportant works by
Mr. Amide% A.E.A., and Mr. Frost, LILA., there in not
a picture by ao associate of the Academy. Are we to attri-
bute this disheartening state of things to amateur manage-
meotto the effect of the "lay element" which it is pro-
posed to introduce into the reformed Academy. or is the
cause really to be found in the total want of interest and
concern for the modern exhibition on the part of the
directors It is evident that artists of repute are not dis-
posed to exhibit here, whether it is that they do not choose
to submit the hanging of their pictures to the carpenter, or
do not like being seen in company with gaudy mediocrity
and the lower orders of the profession. Of the present
exhibition it cannot be denied that the hanging is as bad as '
it well could be, and the number et productior-a absolutely
unmentionable as pictures is exceeMee.

PUBLIO FICZLING IN ITALY.

The Opinions of Turin--a very moderate and
cautions journal—of Friday last says :—" Italy has
no reason for seeking to avert war. We adhered
to the congress, knowing the value of pesos, but
also what is the cost of an indefinite truce. The
congress having been ill received by the other great
powers, we must regard a general war as a so-
lution as useful as honourable. Italy can
put in line upon the Po and the Mincio 250,000
soldiers, while she can maintain order and keep
the extreme parties in check by her national
guards. We follow the changes of the Danish war
with feverish anxiety. The noise of the guns on
the Baltic echoes along the Adriatic and Mediter-
ranean. Diplomacy mast have foreseen it."
A Turin letter in the Dibsts says :—" Yon may
consider it certain that if the war lasts a month in
Sleswig it will be very difficult to prevent it from
bcpaking out in Italy. Austria knows it well, and
this is why she has taken her precautions in
Venetia, and is making preparations which re-
semble provocation. The Italian government will
make no rash movement ; but it must consider
public opinion, and it is making arrangements for
all contingencies. Thus we have noticed the
presence here during the last few days of General
Cialdini and Admiral Persano."

this court instead, sad partly bemuse if he were
right, the opportunity might be lost of settling
the right construction to be placed upon the act
relative to the equipment, fro., of ships. They
should be altogether departing from the principle they were
bound to observe in the diecharge of their official functions
if they allowed themselves to be guided by such considera-
tions. They must interpret that act as they did
every other not affecting the decision of ques.
nor of great national importance. In all probability
the decision of that court would not prejudice the party or
delay the final decision in the case ; for whatever their de-
cision might have been on the main question, no doubt the
case would b•re been taken into the House of Lords. If,
therefore, that high tribunal should hold that the majority
of the judges of that court were erroneous In
the decisions they had come to, the case might
then be heard on its merits, as it would have been in that
court had they proceeded with it and had decided the main
question. It was, therefore, satisfactory to think that no
injury could result from their dismissing the appeal. The
appal will therefore be disagreed.

PARIS, SUNDAY EV111.1,10.

Although the Pay., the principal semi-of idal
evening journal, repeats the news that Lord Claren-
don has gone to Vichy, I believe it is not true, and
that his lordship left Paris direct for Wiesbaden.
In this case all the hypotheses based upon an ap-
proaching interview between the Emperor Napo-
leon and Lord Clarendon fall to the ground.
The projected journey of the Empress to Vichy
will not take place. Her Msjesty remains at St.
Cloud till the Emperor's return on August G.
M. Jules Simon's name appears in the list of
emnsel for the thirteen " who are to be tried this
week for holding an illegal meeting of more than
twenty persons. The fact is, M. Simon is not
an advocate, but he was willing to under-
take the defence of M. Clamergan ; and
in France any person, although not called
to the bar, may, by consent of the president
of the court, defend an accused party. Such per-
mission is rarely refused. In the present case, how-
ever, M. Dobignie, the judge upon whom devolves
the delicate task of trying the thirteen, has thought
fit to intimate to M. Jules Simon that he ail] not
hear him.

In the Courrier du Dimanche, M. Prevost
Paradol, without entering into the famous arithme-
tical question, which, however, is a prominent topic
in the icuillefon of yesterday's Independence Beige,
expresses the opinion that the thirteen are most
undoubtedly guilty of a misdemeanour, and that it
is well for all France to know that such is the
law. There is no exception in favour of electoral
meetings. In answer to the rancho ad absurdum
that every ball, wird., and dinner of more than 20
persons must be equally illegal, M. Paradol replies
boldly that they certainly are so. They are merely
tolerated just as the government tolerated electoral
meetings in 1863. But if it is pleased to withhold
this toleration in 1864 there is nothing to be said.
It is just the same in regard to laws against duel-
ling, against immoral books, and against the usur-
pation of titles of nobility. The government was

This wee a sitting for proof of debts end choice of snag.
nem under the bankruptcy of John Wood, described as late
of No. 8, Fskon.street, in the City of London, and as of
Winchester, in the county of Hants, now a prisoner for debt
in Whiteeromotreet prison. The bankrupt, who was brought
up in custody, appeared to be in a very miserable and
careworn condition ; he was formerly a member of the
Common Council, and as such took a prominent part en
the committees selected fax making the aecerwary arrange-
ments at entertainments given to illustrious personages in
the City of London. From the statement com-
piled by Mr. &Buy, of -street, it appears that
the total liabilities are about ,000/., and the only meets
consist of furniture and other property of mall value.
Mr. Boydell, of Queen-square, Bloomsbury, appeared for
the detaining creditor, Mr. C. J. Aldridge, of Chalk-hill,
Bushy, Herta, gentleman, and other creditors ; Mr. Fidler,
for the petitioning creditor, Mr. Andertoo, of Bridge-street,
Fleet-street, and creditors ; and Mr. Miller war also for
creditors. _ _

A question arose on several of the proofs. In one ease it
seemed that a Miss Peters had nearly twenty years ago
deposited with the bankrupt 1,0001. at interest. She bad
since received the interest on all the monies received by
Wood.

..
Mr. Boyden said that it appeared to him that she had re.
mired back all the principal. (A laugh.)
The proof was admitted.
Mr. Anderton, of New Bridge.street, and Mr. Herring,
chemist and druggist, of Aklengsticstreet, were nominated
la &NUMMI.
Mr. Miller opposed the choice, and said although be did
not wish to mat any imputation upon the gentlemen nomi•
noted they were in reality friends of the bankrupt, and the
proofs by which the choice was sought to be swayed were
principally sworn before Mr. Fiance, the bankrupt's
partner.
Mr. Laces in support of the nomination, retorted
the charge of "touting" for the choice, end said
two more respectable gentlemen could not have
been nominated. Mr. Anderton had been a City
volunteer since the year 1803, and Mr. Herring had
oertaioly been in business thirty or forty years. He was
satisfied those gentlemen would perform their duty. Besides
this, the clients of Mr. Miller had not proved their debt,
and therefore had no locus standi in the matter. Debta to
the amount of nea 4,00 W. having been proved, Mr.
Anderton and Mr. Herring were chosen assignees. The
next sitting is fixed for the 33rd of November, at 11 o'clock.
Mr. &diary was appointed accountant. The bankrupt's
release from custody was granted.
