FINE ARTS'.

EXHIVTION OF ANCIENT AND MEDIEVAL
ART AT THE SOCIETY OF ARTS, ADELPRI
This exhibition, which was yesterday crowded with
eger private visitors, is • spirited and suoceutful
effort to give at owe view the whoa* history and
program of past industrial art.
The !bur walls are hang with arras hangings, some
from the sober designs of Venetians, the remainder
from the tortuous pencil of Ruben,. Their partially-
faded hues set off to fair advantage the array of
golden ornamentation, the trenchant colours of the
Palissyand Rafaelle with the glitter of armour suits,
and chrystals mingled with elaborate ivory carvings.
This dazzling inaltiplicity of subjects have been
admirably arranged in their respective epochs under
plate-glass, by which all confusion is avoided.
The " forte" of the exhibition, however, is deci-
dedly in the carving of metals. Whilst the religion"
subjects of early potters only show in their execution
an intend= adoration, which is as touching as it is
interesting; the later sculptors of gold and silver,
abjuring the scriptural loped', adopted history and
maiden as the source of their inspiratioo, and with
a fertility of invention only equalled by their mar-
vellous dexterity and skill of neestion.
These gems of art, chiefly from the Queen's 00l-
Intim awl that Aid Oriel Wimp% (heed, use set
apart in lira idea.sat eissipiesosere is asset of
dale. Foremost stribated to Gallia, the
perfection of whist one pardon his self-lauda-
tory egotism; the " of the chiselling, the
masterly grouping, and y the exquisite shape of
this buckler, bespeak the toil of a life.
Scarcely a dozen names survive to be sexed to
objects which amount to 9,000, the value of which is
underrated at 100,0004

MUSIC.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

Verdi'. "Nino" was performed last evening, for
the fins appearance of Signor Lorenz), the new baritone, in
the character of the A ay ian king, and of Halle. Parodi in
that of Abigaele. Signor Lorenzo was moderately sucomsfel,
bat certainly did not make a strong impression. His acting, as
it sppeared to us, was better than kin singing. In the prin-
cipal scene, when the 'monarch, struck by lightni-ig from
h becomes a manila, he exhibited considerable
dramatic power.
As to Wile. Parodi, she did not seam to be well !acquainted
with the part, which Suited was not well suited to her.
Such, hedged, is.., to hate bees her own impression, or
the impression of the mannetement ; for the part was so
much curtailed that it was reduced sleseet to a skeleton.
