FRENCH ARTISTS MID FRENCH ICONOCIAJerb—

*turnof Delarothe and Leopold Robert have placed him

Paris mob. It is web knows that the Palace of Mealy,
the fimourits Teat of the es-Ling of the Prima, win par.
day assayed and bowl down. The Pala Royal also 1
suffered In tie same way. These ba•hliap both contained
any of the finest pictures of the Preach school. The
remnants of those only remain heaped up is a eon-
fired mass in the Bane Henri Quatre of the Palace
of the Louvre. Ti.. "Neapolitan Improvisator'," of
Leopold Robert, has disappeared. This pirate was
ariginaly iatendad by Robert to represent " Corinne an Cap
Miele." Alter painful efforts to give the requisite pose and
eapreesion to the heroine, he scooped the figure out of the
MIMI, and painted in the ilium of the improvirstore. So
mush for the history of this picture which is now lat. It to
supposed to have been torn to pieces, as • portion of it was
emu in a piastre shop near the Loam. The " Muselasair
Obricault has disappeared, as well as the " lead '
Lthonrwar" of Horace Vernet, and the " Marie
acne" of Roqueplen. Two exquisite heads by Mamsub.
Charles V. and Isabella of Portugal, and Eleanor of Arts*
by Holbein, have been lest from the Palaie Royal. Rory
IV and Catherine de Medici', by Probes, are seas.
Amongst the pictures by living artists which have perished.
are the " Oath of the throe Swim," by &tubes ; " Gustave
Wane," by Henget ; "The Brigand's Wife," by Schrum;
"Love sad Psyche," by Picot; besides °thereof las note. Ho-'
nee Vernet has suffered most. " The Attack of the Gate of
Constantine " ha. been gut from the stretcher and taken
away. Many other =WWI were cut through but not taken
away._ The battle picots of Hanel' J emmapes,
and Veiny," The Confession of the'
dying Brigand," " La
Revue de Huseards," have been cut to pieces with swords
"Gamble Deunoulins arborant la Cocards Vette," sad the
portrait of the peasant girl of Arricia, have altered the sons
fats. "The Neapolitan Mother crying over the Mai if
bar suture, thrown down by an mitt-g00k.," eau of the
masterpieces of Leopold Robert, has been pigeon' in •
hundred places by bayonets. "The White Hone of Girt-
Gault " lea also disappeared, as wall at Pradboa's portrait
of Warmed. Such is the enumeration given of some of
the principal works destroyed by the modern ieorioclasta.
We may yet hear of further proofs of destructiveness.

COTIIWT-GraiDZW.—The reduction of the Twice, of
atimisekto at thu theatre is unquestionably a judicious mea-
sure, and its good effects mem to be already shown by the
very fall holies both on Monday and last 'venire. The
opera of lest night was The Bride of Luanseresoor." The
part of Lowy was netained by Millie. Mims, aid that of
Edgar Raresmood by Mr. Rims Renee. Mr. Reeves's
performance in this opera is well known to the
public, from its saucerful production last year at
Drury-lase by H. luau, when the hero and heroine
were represented by Reeves and Madame Dorm Gras; and
ft is turieeem fora, therefore, only to say that he appeared
last evening with undiminished tClat, and that we have
seldom witnessed a more enthusiastic reception. We are
convinced that Reeves, in this character, has not been sur-
passed by any actor on the Italian stage since Rubini—if,
indeed, he was surpasied, on the whole, even by Rubini
himself; far, though Reeves has not reached the con-
summate art and exquisite finish of that prince of
tenors, yet he excels him in his personation of the character,
!Whines talents as an actor being for from commensurate
with his unrivalled vocal powers. Wilk. Nissen was mach
more suocesiful in Lu. so than in her previous part of
Norma. Lucia is same within the scope of her dramatic
abilities, and the musk of the part is better suited to her
*hie. As a singer she still exhibited the mixture of
beauties and detects which we have already described.
aka warbles sotto eons with much sweetness ;
but her valet, wham at all exerted, betrays its
*imams and went of tea ; and when she throws
oat notes of parka her intonation is very uncertain
--sometimes quite Wm, sad the next moment dis-
treseingly hiss. Her menthe, however, is good, and her
style that of en aceomplished musician. Her beet effect,
leek moil and dreamt* was the seed some, which
made a slaw imprimis. cm the eadiram, and called forth
the wain" applause. The part of Col. AsMous was way
1111/Ismady performed by BurdiaL Where was Whitworth,
seiMi ft much importance to the character last mason ?
The iments were sung with admirable smoothness and
may, tidied the excellence of the chorus singing is one
dim keine' of Mr. Buis present establieboeut. The
henna getting. op, ties, of the opera was praiseworthy ; anti
Hie performance, on the whole, was worthy of the applause
which it received.
