EXECUTIONER WANTED IN PARIS.—The
situation of executioner is now being warmly contested by
three parties, a butcher, a horse-slaughterer, and a youn,v,
surgeon.

We know not to whom to ascribe the fault, but
there is a very grievous one of which the public has to
complain at the National Gallery. In every other part of
London the streets (and some of them the dirtiest and
most obscure) are duly watered at regular periods, but in
that part of Trafalgar-square immediately facing the Gal-
lery, the dust is permitted to accumulate in such quanti-
ties that the slightest wind, or the passing of a single car-
riage, raises a cloud so dense that the foot passengers can
scarcely see their way. But this is net the extent of the
evil, though annoying enough in its way—it has a more
serious consequence. Ascend the stairs were the na-
tional pictures are placed, and see to what an accumula-
tion of dirt they are exposed by the flying particles of
dust which settle everywhere, destroying all they touch,
and requiring constant attendance to remove. During the
present holyday season the footsteps of the numerous visi-
ters may literally be tracked on the floors of the gallery
chambers, making the halls of art an abomination rather
than a pleasure. With whom, we ask, does the obloquy
rest of this neglect ? The parochial authorities are not,
we presume, so Radical as to refuse to water a hundred
yards of road where the national property is concerned.
Or if this, indeed, be the case, what shall we say to men
who clamour for their admission to view the highest works
of art gratuitously, and yet deny the slightest means of
preservation to the objects which they affect to admire ?
