FORGOTTEN PICTURES.—.We often wonder what
becomes of all the pictures painted every year in
Loudon—not of those works which are sold to, and stowed
by, bona fide purchasers, nor of those more popular works
which become the property of dealers and dealing•mollectors
—for these are continually being passed from hand to hand,
bartered,
exchanged, sold by auction, copied by means of
engraving,
until at length their intrinsic merit becomes the
real test of their value, and they either find an honourable
resting-place in some permanent collection or disappear
among their less notorious contemporaries. Neither do we
speak of portraits, of which we know the fate tolerably well.
These are usually commissioned and paid for, and are
destined to be hung on the walls of a dining-room, dumb
and polite witnesses of many good dinners, and subjects of
inexpressible annoyance to the paintervi.h when he happens to
dine with the originals, who think it their duty to improve
the occasion among the guests on his behalf, and to subject
him to a running commentary on the accuracy of the re-
semblances. If of any value as Nvorks of art, the pictures
will retain their places and grow into ancestral portraits ; if
not, they will be displaced by likenesses of the grandson
and his wife, and be consigned to the walls of some spare
bedroom, or be turned with their faces to the wall of a de-
serted attic, where they may rest undisturbed till some day

THE AMERICAN BLOCNADE.—New York, Oct. 1.
—A letter from the Federal steamer Niphor, dated off Now
inlet, N.C., Sept. 26, reports that on the previous day she
discovered a long steamer painted white, with two
smoke
stacks and two masts coming out of Swash Channel, She
gave chase and fired into her several times, but she escaped.
Another Federal steamer however overhauled the blockade
runner and chased her aground off Half Moon Battery,
where she was set on fii o by her and destroyed,
IMPORTS OF CONFEDERATE COTTON.—In our
commercial intelligence we give a return of the imports of
Southern cotton into England during the month of Sep-
tember. The total quantity received Was 11,534 bales.
The imports of the Confederate tobacco during the same
period was 495 boxes. The returns are nearly, but not
quite, complete. Confederate produce has come in small
quantities from other ports.-1 he Index.
THE COLOSSAL BRONZE STATUE OF YOUNG
HERCULES, recently discovered at Rome, has, says the
Reader, been completely exhumed. The workmanship is
evidently of the best period, and not, as has been surmised
by Signor Pinceltatti, of the end of the third century. Signor
Pincellotti would have us look upon the statue as that of the
Emperor .Maximian—Maximitinus Ilerculeus—but the
entire absence of the coarse Dacian features of that emperor
does not seem to warrant the conjecture.

burgh, who finished a fine race home, Provisor just winning
in the last stride by a head; a head only separated the
