EXHIBITION OF PHOTOGRAPHIC
PICITRES.

Side by side with the electric telegraph, the
rapidly developing wonders of photography daily assert, by
some new discovery, their right to a foremost place amongst
the marvels of the nineteenth century. But • very few
short years have elapsed since Mr. Talbot first announced
to the scientific world his discovery of this "Trap to catch
a suubeam," and now we fiud photography regularly en-
rolled amongst the fine arts, applied to architectural, lands-
cape, and portrait painting, and astonishing every one b
its minute fidelity, its mellow softness of appearance, and
its applicability to almost every brauch of the cunning
haulm art. A striking proof of its growing importance
may be found in the fact that societies have been formed
for its cultivation and encouragement, and that public
exhibitions of its specimens have come to take their place
amongst the periodical amusements of the metropolis. It
is not many months since a collection was exhibited with
great success at the Society of Arts, and now • worthy suc-
cessor is thrown open to the public at 168, New bond-
street. Short as the interval has been, it has proved suffi-
cient for the attainment of marked progress in the art, a
progress that gives good hope that ere long this child of
sunny skies may be naturalised and brought to perfection
even in our fog-beloved climate. Foremost in attraction
amotigst the present collection are the pictures of M. Mar-
ten, remarkable for their atmospheres, and wondrous
effects of light and shade. His " Lake near Montreaux"
was surrounded all day by admiring spectators. This is a
perfect specimen without a single blur, and must have been
taken under singularly auspicious circumstances. The
" Court yard of the Louvre," by the same artist, will
astonish those who have seen the original by its fidelity.
and to these who have not, may save the expense and trouble
of a visit. M. Marten has several other specimens in the
exhibition of equal excellence, but in giving them the fore-
mast place, we must in justice add that the impressions have
been in places retouched with a pencil, a privilege
which has been much discussed, but ultimately ruled to be
legitimate by the Society of Arts. Next in merit, and con-
siderably more numerous, come the pictures of Italian
architecture, contributed by M. Bresolin. The " Ducal
Palace, Venice," is a most faithful transcript, even to the
decaying corner stones and the general air of desolation
which now unfortunately sits on the deposed Queen of the
Adriatic. The " Bridge of Sighs," by the same artist, is a
remarkable specimen of the sun's correct notions of per-
spective, and has a pleasant.cheerful air, the gloomy tradi-
tions of the place and Byron's verses notwithstanding.
The " Rialto" is full of life, but by no means like
the established Rialto of tho annuals. The sun makes
no concessions to pictorial effect, but is quite
pre-Raphaelite in his rigid adherence to truth of
detail. There are several other Venetian views by the
same artist, which in their remarkable clearness and com-
pleteness in the most minute detail, attest at once the won-
derful clearness of the Italian sky under which they were
taken, and the great dexterity and skill of the manipulator.
To this latter point the attention of the judicious observer
will of course be directed, as all critical patter about " neu-
tral tints," " aerial distance," " chiar' oscura," &c., is hap-
pily wholly inapplicable to the real artist—the sun—who,
while himself the source of all pictorial effects, sits aloft in
sublime indifference to all the pedantry of the schools.
The Seine, early morning," by Ferrier, although a small
picture, will soon catch the eye. It is the river itself, tran-
quil after its night's repose, and the light air that is to give
it the first ripple, can be almost felt in looking at the picture.
Among the other foreign contributions, which are:proportion-
ably more numerous than we hope to see them in future ex-
hibitions, are some Roman views by M. Flecheron, and some
streets in Paris by M. Relic, which, considering the fitness
of the subjects, are nothing remarkable. Of the English
specimens the most successful is decidedly the " Boy in the
Arch," by P. De la Motte ; and the next is a small com-
panion picture by the same artist. The architectural de-
tails have all the defined.brilliancy of the Italian pictures,
although taken under the atmospheric difficulties of
the English climate. It would be hard to find a
more striking prosf of the Progress the art is making
in England, than the clearneas, delicacy, and completeness
of these two little pictures. Mr. Bingham's " Cottage in
Jersey" is a pleasant little picture, and there are numerous
other specimens approaching in different degrees to the
great standard of photographic excellence, cleanness, ab-
sence of " blur," and the closest possible approach to cor-
rect drawing. The last result is the groat difficulty of the
art, and must only be hoped for through the attainment of
instantaneous pictures, and such extreme sensitiveness in
the medium, as shall record faithfully even the slightest
gradations of light and shade. At present, in the best
specimens, the shadows are opaque, but as great things
have been done in catching objects in motion and depicting
them, and as the Americans faithfully promise the attain-
ment of colour at no distant day, it would be absurd to offer
the artists who have with such praiseworthy seal devoted
themselves to the development of this beautiful discovery,
anything but the warmest encouragement, or to depreciate
their efforts, by pointing out those instances of occasional
failure, with which the road to success is always so plenti-
fully strewed.

DRAMA.

FRENCH PLAYS.--ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.

The entertainments at this theatre last night were
for the benefit of Mdlle. Page, whose engagement is about
to terminate. She is an attractive actress, and has gained
the favour of the public by her personal charms, graceful
ease and vivacity, mingled with uuexaggerated feeling.
The pieces in which she has chiefly appeared are those in
vogue at the Gymnase—little comedies of the sentimental
class, containing sketches of domestic Parisian life,
some of which, by her help with that of M.
Lafont and Mdlle. Lobry, have been admirably
acted. The pieces performed last night were Lite Femme
pui se Jelle par la Fenelre, Les Extremes se Tourhenl, and
Les Fees de Paris; the first two already well known, the
last new. It is by no means one of the happiest productions
of its class. The hero, as iu a thousand other pieces of this
kiwi, is a poor painter, starving in a garret, but myste-
riously visited by an unknown being, who leaves money,
and flowers, and more substantial comforts in his room,
together with billets of encouragement and hope. This is
a young lady who has fallen in lova with him, and
who, with the help of a couple of female friends,
takes this way of manifesting it. Some curiosity
and interest are raised at the outset; but the
machinery of the plot is so forced and improbable, that the
greater part of the second act is consumed in clumsy and
tedious explanations which drove half the audience away
before the curtain dropped. All Mdlle. Page's efforts failed
to make her part effective, and we have never seen her to
leas advantage. Between the pieces a young female violinist
made her appearance, and played a movement of one of De
Beriot'a concertos. Her name is Mdlle. Louise Bacrwolf.
She is a pretty little girl, of some twelve years old, whose
playing is surprising for a child, but has been been brought
prematurely before the public. With study and practice,
however, she may turn out a fine performer. The theatre
was fully and fastionably attended.
