The Society of Painters in Water Colours,

(Dm DAY.)
The sixtieth annual exhibition of this distill'
guished and popular institution has, this day, bee°
opened to public view—the private view having
enabled us to survey the collection there for the
present season on Saturday afternoon. The Gellert/
as usual, contains from 300 to 400 water colour dray,'
ings, contributed by exhibitors as various in style 0
is merit. Although we are precluded from entering,
in our impression of this evening into any very de*
tails dexamination of the works of art here exhibited,
we would at once pronounce the collection of pictures
for the present as rather above then below the
average of the noble collections adorning the wells
of the same institution daring the last dozen Yes°
or more. While saying this, however, we do lot
for an instant regard the present collection as, Wilt
the whole, on a par with its immediate predecessor'
But then, as we took occasion to rem
last year, the collection for 1863 was, to our
thinking, in a very rare and peculiar manner, el.
ceptional. It was signally and exceptionally geed;
insomuch that it is in no degree depreciatory
the general collection to remark, as we have
done, that, as compared with that collection'
that as contrasted with that exceptional eel*
lection, the Exhibition of 1864 is hardly up to the
mark—the highest high water level of 18631
Nevertheless, though yielding, and no wonder,
the palm to its immediate predecessor, the collet.
Lion for the present season is, as before observed'
above rather than below the average of the exhibitions
in this favourite gallery at No. 5, Pall-Mall East'
during the last dozen years or more. On crossing
the threshhold of it, we are painfully reminded of
great, indeed an irreparable, loss to this Old
Society of Water Colourists, the reminder coming
to us from Alexander Munro's admirable white
marble bust of the late William Hunt, the great water
colourist. And there glancing radiantly out upon us'
from the four screens, are the last exquisite little
gems ofmasterpieces from his wonderful brush—more
of those epples that, as we look at them, we are foie
to peel and munch—grapes that seem only to require
the pressure of a finger to spurt with juice-cc
peaches that would tempt a bee—wild roses, the
delicate leaves of which one could almost fancy
one's very breathing must flutter. Distributed
at uncertain intervals, too, round the wane
of the gallery, the visitor recognises, at 5
glance, as usual, many another old foil`
liar favourite—these other popular favourites,
however, being yet, happily, in the land of the
living. Frederick Tayler with his open air Wirt?
—Joseph Nash with his domestic and arcitectura
interiors—Maria Harrison and Valentine Barthel();
mew vieing with each other with flowers, wild 6°'
cultivated, here the primrose, here the hollyheels
Britten Willis with his Cuyp-like cattle pieces-cc"'
Evans of Eton, and John Gilbert of Everywhere
tisli proving themselves to be inexhaustible ! Tbd
last mentioned in 20 has an animated an
glowing representation of the "Battle of the
Boyne." H. P. Riviere has a pretty little greef'vu
bit of comicality in 36, " The Stray Kitten."
Burne Jones, though rather oddly, very charmillWf
pourtrays, in a tall pre-Raphealite picture WI
under an exceedingly new aspect, our immenaerle
heroine of the kitchen, " Cinderella." Commend
us to Alfred Fripp's (72) a " Piping ShePh.el'd,
Boy" as affording us one of the loveliest
tastes of fresh air and specimens of country
life in the whole collection. The purchaser of e
picture will have a perennial charm hanging uPef
his house-wall in the very look out of the eyes et
that Piping Shepherd Boy of Fripp's ! There is
the head of the gallery, in 18, " Hellelil and giltdire
brand," a most effective delineation by F. ;
Burton, (one of our master water-colourists), o' .0
Knight of old in battle harness meeting
ladyelove upon the spiral turret staircase, ant.
kissing her sleeve tenderly as they pass each otile
—one of these sleeves the knights of old used to tie o
their helmets before charging, lance in rest, throug;

LITERATURE,

Do:tor Jacob. Hurst and Blackett, Marlborough-

street.

" Dootor Jacob" is a novel written with a good

intention, and in a style well calculated to com-
mand popularity. The story commences with the
arrival of Doctor Jacob at Frankfort-on-the-Maine,
where he presents letters of introduction from the
British Consul to Doctor Paulus, a brother clergy.
man, and through his influence is allowed to preach
in the church of Mr. Brill, the British chaplain, in
order to raise funds to enable him to proceed to
Jerusalem on a mission to convert the Jews. His
eloquence produces a great sensation, liberal sub-
scriptions flaw in, and he becomes an universal
favourite with the denizens of Frankfort. At the
school of Franlin Fink, we find Elizabeth, an
English governess, highly esteemed by her employer,
who, on the arrival of Doctor Jacob, declares her
intention of immediately departing; and the reader
is led to be ieve that she must be the ruined victim
or the injured wife of the rev. gentleman. She is,
however, persuaded by Dr. Paulus to remain, least
her sudden departure should cause her honour to be
questioned. Meantime a certain Baroness Laden-
berg appears on the scene, apprises Jacob of
Elizabeth's presence, and volunteers to bring about
a reconciliation between them ; but for her own pur-
poses she, in her interview with the governess, defeats
the object she undertook to attain. All this time the
nature of the connection of Elizabeth with the Doc-
tor is a mystery which the reader cannot fathom.
Baron Ladenberg is killed in a thunder-storm, and
the Baroness, now free and rich, proposes to marry
Jacob, who, from his expensive habits and reckless
generosity, is overwhelmed with debt ; but, strange
to say, although he loves the lady, he declines the
proposition. At the house of Mr. Brill he meets
Kitchen Eggers, a rich and charming girl, who, at
eighteen years of age, falls in love with the Doctor,
who, although turned of sixty, appears to be irre-
sistible to the ladies, and notwithstanding his un-
willingness, actually forces him into a matrimonial
engagement with her. Meantime the rev. gentle-
man's creditors become pressing ; he pays some
with the mission money, and decamps in company
with Elizabeth, to whom he has been reconciled,
and who turns out to be his daughter. Kitchen
elopes and follows him; sees him walking with
Elizabeth, whom she takes to be his wife; as a
matter of course faints, and is carried senseless into
the apartment of Baroness Ladenberg, who has
for some time past been persuading her to marry
Baron Joseph, her son. After some days of duress
she is relieved by Doctor Jacob, who, declaring
himself unworthy of her affections, bids her fare-
well, and proceeds to lead a better life
at Vienna with his daughter, where both
receive pupils, and support themselves in
respectability. The book, although some of the
scenes between Doctor Jacob and his admirers are
very highly coloured, inculcates morality in so far
as it pourtrays most forcibly the misery and degra-
dation entailed by incurring debt—but the leading
characters are not natural. Jacob, an unprincipled
Sybarite, refuses to marry the baroness, although
by doing so he might not only save himself from
dishonour, but obtain ample means of indulging his
expensive tastes for the future; and Kitchen, repre-
sented as a pure-minded and innocent girl, acts in
a manner totally inconsistent with such a character,
and ultimately marries one of the professors at
Franlin Finks Academy, to whom, it appeared, she
had been long attached. Elizabeth broke off a p:ior
oonneotion between her father and the baroness,
who, in revenge, prevented by means of an anony-
mous letter, her marriage with an English gentle•
man; and on this account she quitted the paternal
home, and concealed herself as a governess for seven
years. The story is written with spirit, the style
is epigrammatic and btilliant, the descriptions of
landscape and ruins are charming, and there are
few passages in any book which exceed in dramatic
power the following scene in the Cathedral of St.
Stephen :
Having contemplated the stupendous tower, with its de-
licate proportions of arch and buttress, standing clear and
defiant against the upper sky, as a grand thought should,
and the roof with its gigantic imperial eagle, in red and green
tiles softened and mellowed by age, he entered, bestowing
kreutzers here and there to the wretched old creatures who
begged and counted their beads in the slanting sun.
Inside, the gloom, and loftiness, and perfume of incense
weighed upon his spirits like heavy retributive sorrow. He
seemed to be in a gigantic pine-forest at twilight, after the
glow of sun and before the light of stars. By-and-bye,
when his eye had become familiar with the darkness, he
could trace rich sculpture, abundant and most fanciful wood
carving, altars and tombs of gleaming marble, with delicate
rose windows, lighting up the darkness like stars. Ho
could not make his way for the throngs of worshippers, but
stood bareheaded beneath the stone pulpit of St. John
Capistran. Silence prevailed—for the Host was being ele-
vated, and most present were on their knees; acolytes in
white and red surplices were swinging the censers back-
wards and forwards; the atmosphere was thick and oppros •
sive with incense. By-and-bye, the six gorgeously robed
priests retired to their station beside the altar, and the
darkness and stillaess and gloom were pierced by a woman's
thrilling pathetic voice. It was the Ave Maria. Rising
from notes of soft but steady passion, tho voice ascended to
its poise in the upper air, swift and straight like a skylark;
then, when all the cloggings of earth and humanity were
left far below, it swayed gently to and fro, in sweet pulsa-
tions of tenderness and entreaty, a messenger between earth
and heaven—God and man.
Dr. Jacob leaned upon a carved coping of the pulpit
stair and prayed. He was not subject to impulsive emotion
of any kind, much less to religious emotion ; but he had
been living for months past with one aim and intent—
namely, to turn back the current of self-reproach that had
set in from his past life, and had failed miserably. He felt
now, as he had once said, that there is no fleeing from the
silent reproach of God.

His Excellency Baron de Benet, the representa-
tive of the Germanic Confederation, arrived in town on
Friday night from Germany in order to attend the Con-
ferenu,

tations.

MARKETS—This Day.

3IAItIC-LANE.

The demand for wheat in the country markets held on
Saturday ruled heavy, and the value of both red and white
qualities had a downward tendency. Barley was dull, and
prices the turn easier. Other articles moved off slowly, at
about previous rates.

At New York communication by water has been re-estab-
lished with some of the lake ports, but the value of wheat
and flour continues to advance, notwithstanding that the
export demand is very moderate. On the Continent very
little is doing in breadstuffd on British account.

The arrivals of English grain, &c., up to our market last
week were but moderate. The imports from abroad amounted
to 11,263 quarters of wheat, 7,916 barley, 23,237 oats, 7SO
beans, 20 tares, 9,377 linseed, 1,378 oilseeds, 1,700 maize, 290
sacks and 3,093 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to our market, to-day the arrivals of home!grown
wheat were on a mire extensive scale, and the show of
samples on the stands was seasonably large. Generally
speaking, the condition of the produce was good; neverthe-
less, both red and white qualities rnet a slow sale at the
rates current on Monday last. With foreign wheat the
market was but moderately supplied. The transactions in
all kinds were, however, confined for the most part to the
immediate wants of millers, and, compared with this day
se'nnight, no quotable change took place in prices.
Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly at late rates.
About an average supply of barley was on the stands.
There was very little inquiry for malting descriptions, and
most transactions were at the late decline in the quotations-
For grinding and distilling qualities the demand ruled in-
active on former terms.

The malt trade was in a sluggish state tt previous quo.

There was a moderate supply of oats oa offer. Trade
ruled steady and last Monday's currency vas firmly sup-
ported.
The supply of beans on sale was small, and English qua-
lities were readily cleared from the stanch at fully last
Monday's currency.
The trade for peas ruled firm, and previms quotations
were well supported. The market was very moderately
supplied both with English and foreign descriptions.

In flour a limited business was transacted on former
terms.

The supply of each kind of foreign stock on sale hero,
to-day, was moderately good. On the whole, the demand
for it ruled steady, and the quotations generally were well

supported.
The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis-
tricts, as well as from Scotland, were seasonably extensive,
and most breeds came to hand in good a leable condition.
From Ireland, however, the receipts were limited. On the
whole, the beef treo ruled steady, at full currencies. The
primest Scots sold at 4s 10d, in some few instances at bs
per &be.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 2,000 Scots, crosses, and short horns; from other
parts of England, 600 various breeds; from Scotland, 326
Scots and crosses; and, from Ireland, 100 oxen and heifers.

With sheep, we were fairly, but not to say heavily, sup-
plied. Their general quality was prime. All breeds com-
manded a steady inquiry, and a few transeotions took place
at slightly enhanced rates. The best Downs, in the wool,
realised 6s, out of the wool, 4s 10d per 81m.
There was an increased supply of lambs in the pens.
Prime breeds sold freely, on rather higlw terms—but in-
ferior breeds were a dull inquiry, at lute rates. Prices
ranged from Gs 4d to 7s 8d per Sibs. About 800 came to
band from the Isle of Wight.
Calves were in ehort supply, and sluggish nquest, at late
rates.

the heavy supply, ruled dull, and prices had a drooping
tendency; but English maintained full quotations. Rape-
seed, owing to the unfavourable reports from the continent
concerning the crops, was held at increased rates. Other
seeds were in slow request at previous quotations. Cakes
were quiet at last week's prices.

The trade for English wool which, at the commence.'
ment of last week, was decidedly quieter, owing to the
advance in the Bank rate of discount, ruled very firm
towards its close, and long stapled descriptions changed
hands freely, at extreme rates. For down wools there was
a fair• average inquiry, and previous quotations are well
supported. To-day the market presents a healthy appear-
ance, and both combing and clothing wools move off steadily,
at full currencies. Colonial wool, by private contract, is in
moderate request, and prices show a tendency to advance.
The second series of public sales for the current year will

Fille de l'Air, after Cambuscan was struck out, and Paris
sent to the right about, has held the position of first
favourite for nearly the last month. The French filly
was certainly the best two-yr-old that ran last year.
Several demonstrations have been made to knock her
about in the market, but she still holds her place firmer
than ever. Although French favourites seldom win, I
certainly on the present occasion shall look with great confi-
dence to see Fille de l'Air run first or second. Psria has been
under a cloud for some time past, as much as 3 to 1 having
been laid that he would not face the starter. Next to the
French filly he is entitled, from his two-yr•old perform-
ances, to the greatest respect. All sort of rumours have
been oiroulated about him. If he only goes to the post
with winning orders, he ought not to be despised.
Copenhagen has had a wonderful trial. He has
done everything that has been asked of him in pri-
vate, and I have no doubt he will acquit himself equally
well in public. General Peel, since the scratching of
First Flight, has now become a prominent favourite. The
easy defeat of Lord Clifden by Rapid Rhone has imparted
additional confidence to the supporters of his noble owner's
colours. Lord Glasgow is one of the most honourable and
straightforward supporters of the turf, and his success
would be hailed with the most lively satisfaction. Planet
was beaten in his trial, but I think he is the best horse for
those who fancy place investments. John Scott's let seem
all to have passed a bad night. Sir Roger, after having
beaten two platers, was at once elevated to the rank of
second favourite, but he has now taken his proper position
amongst the outside division. Acolyte, although said by
those well informed to be a doubtful starter, I consider
as the best outsider in the race. His only win last year
was at the Newmarket First October meeting, when he
won the Rutland Stakes, carrying Bst 101 b, by eight lengths,
beating Esperance, Bst 61b; Claremont, Oat (including 41b
extra) ; and Sister to Knutsford, Bst 61b. If he can only
be got to run up to that performance, it would not surprise
me to see Lord Stamford, now that he has scratched Cam-
buscan, hailed the winner of the Two Thoqsand. The
judge, I expect, will place them in the following order :

Without going through the performances of the various
horses engaged I would merely hint that my impression at
the present time is that

MOLLY CAREW or MASQUERADE

will win this valuable stake, giving the preference to the
former. If I see any reason to alter my opinion, I shall
again refer to the race in Tile Sun of Wednesday.
A FRESH MAN.

A GARIBALDIAN MEDAL—Mr. T. R. Pinches has
produced a bronze medal, commemorative of the visit of
Garabaldi to this country. The likeness is pretty good ;tad
the workmanship is altogether effective.
" RIZZIO," A NEW OPERA, by Herr Schleibner,
is shortly to be produced at Wiesbaden.
CANDLELIGHT IMPROVEMENT.—A very consi•
derable improvement has been made in the mann.
facture of candles byPriee's Patent Candle Company, in se-
veral respects. In the first place the company has succeeded
by a chemical combination of the ingredients in producing
candles specially adapted for bedroom use, which do not
drop grease, are very much more durable in use, and emit
a more brilliant light, and which at the same time are far
cheaper than those previously in use. They have also
manufactured and specially adapted for these candles a
very cheap and ornamental bronze stick with a reducing
socket, which, it need scarcely be said, gives a consider-
able saving to the consumer in their use. The company
have also brought the aid of chemistry to bear in the im-
provement of their toilet soaps, and while this improve-
ment in their combination has been secured a greater dura-
bility in use is at the same time guaranteed.
