THE PICTURE OF 2 THE COUNCIL OF WAR,"

BY MR. EGO, A.R A.
We have been gratified by • view of thin admirable
work of art, at Moen.. °eaves's, Pall-null, whom it is now
submit•ed to public inspection. None of the "children of
light" brought home by Mr. Fenton fr,m the Crimea de
se-ibes such an Interfering and historical incident as does
his photograph of The Connell of War held at Lord
Raglan's Qesrters on the Moraine of the secomfel Attack
on the llamelon." This "reporter," who never ere, Mr.
Beg hearken principally for his guide. The ezeolleoce of
his painting, however, ceases as elettor to forget the photo-
graph ; and yet, in its air of fusee and literal truthfulaise,
we sleets* forget the picture. It is somewhat thinly painted
to parts, compared to the taper° cf his former worts, but
is tholes) full of moielliog ; the depths are en.
usually clear, and thin is no fore glitter, though the
pantie, is remarkable for its fresh enemy breadths;
it is in many respects a great adenine by tvis artist, and,
while 4:plurality, more than comp:noires for hie absence at
this year's Exhibition of the Royal Academy. This seen*
of the mighty war drams is simple in the evens*, sad the
persons represented compose only • triad, but they ere the
chic( .c•ors in the tragedy, and the decries of their con
foresee formed the terniog point M the denouement of the
great plot involving the destinies cf infirm. la lerd
Raglan's het, whose oily furniture visible is • table
sad three camp chain, are grouped the commanders,
Oeseral (new Mukha) Pslissier, Omer Pubs, and Lord
Reese. Pelissier—if report speaks truly, having,lits most
Primal cairn, a regard for the personal appearance, whieb
&Relish officers itatertain chiefly for the pips-cloyed pre.
polity of their men—is dressed, as was his wont,
in • uniform cost with the larger of two
orders• and the fall tightly strapped pen/410n
gereres. Omer Piths wean also uniform and fn, but Lord
Raglan is in the coal undress of a civilian, say of • country
clergyman, jut preparatory to his efter-dinner nap—• facto
siertent, loose white neckcloth, and a wide-awake, with a
napkin tied over it. The physiogaomies are, however, the
grea•est points is the picture, being wooderfelly suggestive.
That of the French Oeneral—indeed his whole fignre—re.
eel. forcibly the hero of African ramie, and the agent of the
terriqe extermination of the Arabs, In the grottoes of
Ouled-Rish. The poaderoos form, the mataits brow sad
small eyes, the thick neck and the immense development
of sinew, cartilage, and muscle, all indicate the bell
like impetuosity, which is still fmth•r conveyed in the is
patience with which he has started •p, and is pointing with
his square thumb to the plan ante day's operations on the
t eNe, the better to empbasite his opinion. Rio 'duals phy-
sique looks as hard as • bullet, and nearly se roped, or
rather like one of those great risking shells we hailed spout
the Rearms on that memorable day. Omit Puha, with his
finely prop. roofed and intelligent npetereed Into, regards
Pelletier with a profenad and penetrating gene, which
seems to mark him as • st.ll greater man. We, bow.
ever, miss in the picture • certain stealthy alert
lock, se if he were about to spring on hi•
prey. which we fancy is perceptible in the pboeogreph.
Lori Raglan blandly acquiesces while making show of using
hie computes. The only evidenee of !truism is is the
croft.' view of his •trosgly pronounced aquiline nose, re-
calling the ease (lathing and soldierly Fitzroy Somerset; all

placid amidst so many troubles, end boudoir with pure
kindness amidst so many cane, esplains the re•pcet paid ea
all h►nds to his character, and leaves the impresser' that.
atter all, jastics has scere.ly bey■ done to his memory. The
mistake lay is permitting • noble ambition to 'audios itself
