Tma answer of Lord CLARRNDON Oa the part of
the CUTLER'S Government to the despatch of Mr.
MARCY, dated 28th December l..at, in which he an-
nounced that Mr. CRAMPTON had become an " WM•
teptable rtpresentetivs of her Britannic Majesty" at
Washin,rtoo, and requested his recall, has been pub-
lished AI fist sight the delay that has occurred might
appear utorosonable; bat a very lit•le consideration
will show that it was, firstly, ansvoideb!e and neces-
sary, and second:y, that it is likely to prove in every
respect useful. At all events American susceptibility
Ass not o'j,cted to it.

Previously to the 28th et December, the eons-
spondaic* ►etween the two Governments had, it
appears from the Papers presented to Congress,
been sunewhat of • fragmentary, misoellaneons,
and mu irregular character. Now the cone-
apondence wes conducted at Washington, then
in Lot don ; sometime a Mr. MARCY rested his
case on the alleged violation of municipal law, at
others be pot it forward as a breach of public law;
now Mr. BUCHANAI expressed his satisfaction at
Lord Cutftenuoy's txplastioo, and then the next
mail brought him a note of further accusations to
pretest; and until the 28th of December Mr. MA•cv
had in no one domme of stated fully end completely
his co-opinion, or placed before Lord CLARLIDON
the evidence which he thought justified !hem. All,
indeed, that Mr. MARCY oa the 13 t] of Oct‘ber re-
quired wen w proper satisfaction," without having
specially charged any British functionary with
having given offence. It wait only on the 28th of
December he stated the whole of the United States
este. and increased his demand to the recall of the
British Minister at Washington.
Mr. M•ECY'S elaborate despatch of that date occu-
pies seventeen pages of Blue Book, presented left
night to both Houma of Parliament, and the evidence
which he formally placed before Lord CLAREN-
DON takes up about 100 pages. On receiving these
pipers her MAJESTY'S Government had, io justice to
their officers, to require reports from Mr. CRAMPTON
and the other British functionaries in the United
States wham conduct was impugned; and, as the
greater part of the proceedings out of which these
complaints arise had occurred in Nova Scotia, com-
munications and explanations from the Governor of
that colony were obviously indispessable to enable
the British Cabinet to form a complete judgment
on Mr. ISlsuctr'e demand. It is, moreover, impossible
to read the trial of HERZ (who, though convicted
OR their prosecution, was allowed by the United
States Government to escape unpunished) without
a strong persuasion that the evidence of STRORBEL
and his associates was of a most untrustworthy and
very worthless description. It would, therefore, ne-
cesearily require a thorough sifting at the hands of
the British functionaries whom it tended to implicate
in breaches of United States law. All this, of course,
required time; and by the time Mr. CRAMPTON was
able to send home his report on the charges advanced
against him and three British Consuls, Lord CLA-
RENDON, who had conducted the correspondence, was
deeply and almost exclusively occupied in the Con-
ferences of Paris. It is, consequently, only since his
return that he can have been in a position wisely and
deliberately to consider the whole case, and to advise
his configure and the QUEEN on the answer to be
given to Mr. MARCY'i demand.

Noe has this delay been without its OM ea both
sides of the Atlantic. The extreme excitement
which prevailed in December wee greatly mitigated
in April; the temper and the toms of the American
press has become much milder; and there is, we
tint, • hope that the explanations which Lard
CLARENDON has now uffered to Mr. MARCY may
oonvince the Washington Cabinet that on Mr.
CRAMPIONII part there has been no designed infec-
tion of the municipal law, of the United States, and
that the lsst thing in the thoughts of the British
Government was, in any way or degree, to disregard
United States sovereignty in United States territory.
This conviction, Lord CLARENDON, in his answer,
makes • rriplate, a eo•rteous, and • most cond.
liatory effort to produce; and in the expectation that
his reasoning will not be thrown away on Mr. MARCY
hes:preface the earnest hope of Her Mawr' Go-
vernment that the explanations and assurances of
Mr. Casurrow and the English Commis may " prove
satisfactory to the Government of the United States,
and effectually remove any misspprehansion which
hitherto may have existed." Whether it was ever
wise or prudent to hove opened depots for the re-
cruitment of the British army in the British cola.
ales adjoining the United States territory, and to have
attempted to attract men thither from the United
States, is a question which the British Cabinet will
have to settle with the British Parliament, not with
the Government of Washington. The simple poiat in
discussion with the latter is, whether British diplo.
made or consoler authorities did give such encearago.
sent to moons disposed to proceed to those depots as
amounted to a breach either of municipal or of public
law. That individuals greedy of gain first got Into
communication with Mr. Crtsterrow and then far
exceeded any authority be ever gays them, may
prove that Mr. CRAMPTON was indiscreet, but it
doss not establish that he ceiarnittsd any off ea
apnea United States or international law. Mr.
MARCY, in his despatch, assumes that Hsu was an
agent of the British Government, employed by the
British Minister at Washington; but of that fact
there is, literally, no evidence at all on his trial. So
that, even admitting that Haas was rightfully con-
victed, the case against Mr. Casxrrow is not ad.
voiced by bis conviction. Mr. Make{ mast go far-
ther, and establish Hriaz's ,penny; and that he has
nowhere done, or attempted to do.

No doubt Hess did insert advertisements pre-
pared by the Nova Scotia Goverment In the
United Stated papers ; but these advertise-
ments Simply announced that abl►bodied mu

EIGHTY-EIGHTH EXHIBITION OF THE
ROYAL ACADEMY.

(PRIVATE view.)
The impression produced by the inisembl• of this
Exhibi too—and it is impossible to take in more at a
fist d'ud-dly good. We sve disposed to
attribute this to the purity and power of colour
which Turner and Etty have bequeathed to the
English scbcol of painting. The living painters
of other countri.s may excel our artists in inven-
tion and couspootion, bat none of them came
mar the latter for truth to nature, delicate feeling,
and power in reproluoing the tones and harmonies ot
colour. This was proved beyond all doubt at last
yeti's Exposition des Beaux Arta in Paris. We
should like to WRY mine of our painters aspire to dis-
tinction in tableaus do genre, or in what is called
with us histoftcal composition; we should like to
see them evince more sympathy with the actuali-
ties ot contemporary life; but in that peculiar ex-
cellence which they cultivate, it is simple justice
to say that they are at this moment unrivalled.
It can easily be imagined, therefore, that in a school
whose perdue:nesting merit is pure and powerful
C'.lOllT, the first impression of • large collection of
pictures is likely to be more forcible and pleasing than
when, as is the case with paintings whose chief merit
is composition end expression, it is more necessary to
C 140211.0 each in detail before we are struck by it.
And we meat do the " hanging committees" of the
Academy the justice to say that they understand how
to avail themselves of this peculiarity of British pic-
torial art. Individual painters may occasionaily have
cause to grumble at leaving their pictures ",killed"
by tbw which are placed beside them, but the public
has every right to be satisfiedwith the effect of the
various collocations. The first coup d'mit of our Royal
Academy Exhibitions is always pleasing.
We reserve detailed criticism for future notices;
to-day we can only undertake to indicate a few of the
works which arrested us in our cursory inspection.
D. Roberts' " Christmas-day in St. Peter's at Rome,
1854" (10), is one of his meat masterly interiors,
and suggestive of deep thought. Sir J. W. Gordon'.
"Mrs. Campbell of Monzie" (34) combines, with the
maid excellences of the artist, finer and purer colour
than we bare been accustomed to see in his works.
"Charles Dickeu," by Ary Scheirer (62), is a mas-
terly piece of painting, but to us it does not quite
realise Dickens. E. M. Ward's "Last Parting of
Marie Antoinette and her Son " (75) is, in respect of
colour, composition, and expression, one of the artist's
greatest works. n his portrait of the "Countess
ot Duoie" (88), F. Grant vindicates his claim to be
considered the one living artist who can paint the
real lady. "The Abandoned" (94), by Stanfield,
is true poetry; the wash of the see, the help's'.
hulk of the deserted vowel, the son-buret through
the grey clouds, the mingling of ocean spray and air-
borne vapour on the horizon, are full of power,
beauty, and sentiment. "The Greeting in the IMoert"
(101), by J. F. Lewis, is remarkable for the severe
beauty of its multiplied straight lines, the touching
expression of the human hoes, and the exquisite
finish ot the accessoriee. "Hide and Seek" (114),
by T. Webster, Is admirably composed, isurell,
coloured, and overflowing with a delicate tender
humour. et lierinione," by Leslie, is graceful, digni-
fied, and statuesque; the artist has caught the true
spirit of his subject. Sir E. Landseer's "Saved.
Dedicated to the Humane Society," (147), and
his " Highland Nurses. Dedicated to Miss
Nightingale," (208), are both good, but it
is beneath a true artist to seek to attract
by such "tags" in the catalogue (to borrow a
word from the minor theatre vocabulary).
In "The Emperor Charles V. at Yost." (175), El-
more bee conceived the expression of the monarch,
whose last life-drops are ebbing, gazing for the last
time on his favourite works of art, with delicacy, and
expressed it with power. This work is in painting
what Goethe'. "Honig von Thule" is in ward
art. "The Deluge" (321), by 8. B. Halle, reminds
us of those old Italian pictures, the outline of the
grouping of which was forced upon the artist by the
necessity of conlorming to architectural requisitions.
There is both intellect and imagination in the con-
ception of the group. The human figures are ga-
thered on the topmost pinnacle of a mountain, which
the waves are shout to engulf. The central figure
is a =tomb, holding listlessly bin sword and crown,
gazing on the watery weste with majestic resignation
to has doom. Behind him, on one side, an old
crone grins and chatters in an access of idiotic
lunacy; ors the other, an erect figure seems to throw
defiant curses up to Heaven. A beautiful female form
hides her face in the bosom of the Xing. Hunt's
" ficargest" (398) lea remarkable picture, of which
we shall have more to say hereafter: it attracted the
attention of Cardinal Wiseman for a considerable
time. The contributions of Millais we also reserve
for future consideration; but we fear his mannerisms
develop themselves more rapidly then his sense of
the truly bekutilal. Leightoe's "Triumph of Music"
(508) is disappointing. Plato is an old, feeble dotard,
suffused with black bile ; and Orpheus scrapes upon
a fiddle like some itinerant street musician. There is
both character and humour in H. H. Itsesewee
"Wedding at • Register-ofilss • (1,189). And here
we pure for the present.
