EXHIDITION OF PAINTINOS IN THE PORT-
LAND GALLERY.

The seeocd Exhibition of the meson was opened to
private view oa Batotday. The crowd of Meade mid
amateurs uttr.eted on the occasion was ao great se to
Yowler impossible that dahherate examisatton of any
picture which ought to precede criticism. We eta
only speak as yet of the general impression produced
upon us by the Exhibition as a whole. It wee
pleasing, without being characterised by mach of
novelty, or that power which arrests involuntary
attention. Oce remark was irresistibly forced
upon us. We ocintlaually hem complaints frost
artists--not within the charmed circle of the
Academy—of the difficulty of getting their pictures
admitted to or advantsgeously placed in the room is
Trafalgar-equare. Yet the balk of the complainants
continue, year after }ear, to seed their pictures ex-
clusively to the Aeadercy's Exhibition, although they
know it is physically impoesible to do justice to all
of them. Ot the twenty-four " proprietary members"
of the "Natioosi lostitnioo," six have this year
contribute not one aloes work to its Exhibition;
and the President himself appears only to have soot,
for (ones sake, two paintings that were lying abaat
his studio. Nevertheless, we feel convinced that there
are signs of vitality about the Institution. Along
the youngir exhibitors there is an evident desire to
get out of the mere beaten Meek; and among some
of them there are manifeatations of ability to do no.

every Swede from 22 to 45 should be liable to mai-

said M. Olsen, "we might in a moment of
danger immediately have under arms an army of
600,000 men, who, with 200,000 others to be fur.
nisbed by Norway, would form I total force of
700,000 men." The motion of M. Olsen was adopted
unanimously by the Chamber of Peasants, which has
already on more than one occasion durieg the present
session strongly insisted on the necessity of the two
united kingdoms being always prepared to oppose
any aggression.

THE ISLE OF SERPENTS.

The Berlin correspondent of a Frankfort jour-
nal states that a second note has been addressed to
Russia on the subject of the Isle of Serpents by Great
Britain, and that its tone is more peremptory than
that of the former note; in consequence of which the
irritation whin!' was felt by each party has been mach
augmented.

THE CAUCASUS.

Letters from Hatais mention the arrival of Baron
Pinot, Fresch wend in that city. Primes Bitbutoff
bad given orders for his distinguished reception. It
sprats that the Russians will not re-occupy the nu-
merous smell forts between Anspa and Poti. Bonk-
kum Baled only will rewire a garrison of two
or three thousand men. The Roam; were disposed
to occupy Gagre, but were prevented by the hostile
attitude of the Übecks. At Tillie, it is said, the
volumes published in England respeetieg the siege of
Ken have been read with astonishment, the Ottoman
army figuring so lasignificantly, while nearly all the
lairft is claimed for three or Isar English dame.

AUSTRIA AND NAPLES.

The German wee le not agreed as to the course
Austria is taking in reference to the differences
between Bhp'es and the Western Powers.
A Berlin letter, of the 19th, in the Nuremberg
Correspondaa, says:

Accounts from Vienna repreeent that the object of the
visit of Baron Habaer to the King of Naples is to induce
him to accept, not all the demands of the Western Powers,
bet the more important et them, and to come to an under-
standing with bin es to their details. In the event of the
Mug conmatleg to this, Austria offers to act as a mediator,
is as to saws the Western Powers to accept the concessions
he ay offer. The appearanos of an encroachment on tte
11 sovereignty and independence of the crown of Naples Is to
be avoided, if the Kies eau be brought to an erreagement
A period will, it is tree, be fined fcr the azsention of the
engagements of the King, ht it will not be aids too short,
end the entireties of the measures will be abandoned to the
Neapolitan government Neal!. These details come from a
very good tonne.

On the other band, the Augsburg Gass& is in-
formed from Vienna that
The Eoglhh aced Fermat ministen having notified the
&plumbing appearance of an Analo•Freash flatt in the
Neapolitan waters, in case the King should again reply in

it would lian the King to understand that be bed to sun-
hats to himself Mon the conseqeernen of bit minuet.
la a word, Austria will leave the King to his fate unless
he yield. The Wriest, meanwhile, bas not nneuneed all
hope of an amieaVe solution of the Nesp ilitan differences.
It is more than ever disposed to exert its influence to ward
off the storm. With this view, General Martini is insets
&Moly to return to his post, so as to be on the spot helots

The different general committees are preparing
their manifestos for the next election'. There are
five parties in opposition to each other ; the absolu-
tists, or olero-Calists; the moderate pAcos; the
moderates of the liberal union, with whom are
united the timid progressiatas, the pure pa-
gressistea, and the democrat". These parties
will combines, according to their greater
or less affinity, so ea to afford a common support to
the candidate of the party which ha the greatest
chancy of amass. Well-informed persons mart
that the ninety deputies who passed a vote of cen-
sure against O'Donnell during the struggle
of July, will be reelemed, and that the
democrats, who reckoned only between twenty
and tbitty, will be doubled in number. The pure,
progressiatu intend to mete a demonstration in
favour of &porter° by proposing him for a number
of district'. On the other hand it is officially an-
nounced that Rios Rom is about to make sundry
concessions to the progresaistas, and doubtless the
government expect by this means to secure the return
of many of their candidates.

The Majestic, Capt. Romc, and the Cmear, Capt.
Robb, arrived here last night. Although it was fine
moonlight they proceeded cautiously, and anchored
at Bellevue, about 10 p.m., and got up steam again
and came into the harbour this morning. They had
encountered rough weather, and their passage has
therefore been longer than usual, it being a week
since they left England. It had been intended that
the Amphion should sail early this morning, to join
the squadron, under Capt. Watson, off the Island of
Bornholm er Clothland, but after communicating with
the senior officer she deferred her departure for some
hours, but eventually proceeded SA originally Wearied.

The weather still continues unsettled, and the
accounts as they arrive from the provinces give the
most lamentable descriptions of the damage caused
by the Seeds and storms.
At last the steamship Pere has been released from
quarantine. She came up on Monday, the 14th hut
The crowning stroke to the conduct of the Board of
Health was given on Sunday evening. The aid.
mats= of that body was, that the ship should not
come up without a fuller certificate from the surgeon
as to the cause of the death of Mr. Caretair (one had
already been given), and accompanied with at
affidavit from the captain. These documents
were sent on the Sunday evening by the oom-
pany's agent, who found that previously to
their receipt an order had been passed for the
release of the ship. Truly this looks like playing at
quarantine, and probably the India mail, and pas-
sengers may miss the Suez boat, through the conduct
of thee, Solon', who interposed their unitary lees
between Lisbon and the chances of infection from as
invalid who died from an ulcer in the throat. The
ministers, when appealed to on the subject, aimed
that it was an abuse of power; bet they mild net
interfsse with the dictum eta board is whose bends
tall pewees sew vested. All parties knew the whole
health establishment to be a delusion and a snare,
and sew that its genial effects have been brought
home to England, we trust that her fiat will go oat
sgaisst it. It was proposed to send the mails by the
Toga' to Gibraltar,„ but an objection presented itself,
inasmuch ea the ship would have to run the gauntlet
of quarantine at Cadiz. From the first it appeared
ikatte impossible to repair the machinery in quarantine,
sines the person who superintended the making of
melds for new works wes absolutely necessary, to
see the metal east, on shore.
The Para will probably sail on Thursday
afternoon. The accident to her machinery is this:
The discharge valve and top of air pump are carried
away, the fit valve at the bottom of the air pump is
broken, and there is also a bole in the bottom of
the air pump. Besides this, she carried away a few
light spars, a gaff, spritsaillard, and jibboom. A
great deal of water poured into the vessel through
the breaking of the discharge valve. One of the
officers states, that although thirty years • sailor, be
never was in a better vessel. She is very dry, steers
like a boat, and acts admirably under sail or steam,
ping some 12 or 13 knot.. Besides this, and unlike
most new vessels, she makes little or no water.
