LiTERAT TIRE.

Evenings in my Tent. By the Rev. N. Davis. Two
vols. Arthur, Hall, Virtue, and Co.
The author of this work observes in the preface
that the writer of a work on Africa possesses an
advantage over others, which is, that he cannot be
accused of having selected an exhausted subject.
The interior, in particular, has been little explored
9r studied ; therefore, the narrative of a traveller
in these comparatively unknown regions, in which
he professes to describe " the moral, religious, so-
cial, and political conditions of the various Arab
tribes of the African Sahara," at least presents the
attraction of information which is rarely to be ob-
tained from an eye-witness. Having long desired
to visit the interior of the country, the author was
glad to be able to accompany Sidy Mohammed Bey,
the heir-apparent to the throne of Tunis, on a jour-
ney he was about to take on public business. The
horrors of slavery are touched upon, but the writer
fears that the means adopted for the suppression of
the inhuman traffic serve only to add to the suffer-
ings of the victims. He asserts, in contradiction
to those who would place the negro lowest in the
human scale, that their intellect in many instances
has proved equal to that of the whites. He says
tat one of the finest logicians he met with was a
black man, and that he was acquainted with au-
Other " whose poetry equalled the seven famous
Poems of Mecca." He also maintains their fidelity
and affection. Several characteristic anecdotes are
related of the Arab tribes and the Moslem customs.
The volumes contain nearly thirty illustrations,
most of them coloured, and many of them scenes
from the ruins of Carthage, which place the author
visited.

ART-UNION OF LONDON.

The anniversary meeting of the subscribers to this
society, for the purpose of receiving the report of the
council and distributing the prizes, was held tins day, at
noon, in the Lyceum Theatre.
Lord MONTEAGLE occupied the chair. The stage of
the theatre was thronged with artists and supporters of ;
the fine arts. The boxes and pit were crowded. The
company included many elegantly dressed ladies.
Mr. GODWIN read a report, from which we make the
following extracts : 3

" The subscriptions for the year amount to the sum of
12,910/. 165., and it would have been larger but for ex-
traneous circumstances (the disturbed condition of the
public mind, and the threatened imposts which follow in
the train of " grim-visaged war.") None have more rea-
son to deplore the necessity for war than those who desire
to advance the arts of peace. The achievements of our
gallant countrymen and allies will doubtless supp:y mate-
rials for our painters and sculptors hereafter, and still it is
to be earnestly hoped that the struggle will be short and
decisive.
"Each subscriber of the current year has received an en-
graving of Mr. Stanfield's picture, `Tilbury Fort—Wind
against Tide,'—worth in ordinary commerce a guinea and
a half.
"The subscribers of last year have also received the
engravings, " The Surrender of Calais" and "Christ led
to Crucifiction." It may serve to suggest the extent of the
society's operations if we mention, that in distributing
the last named prints over the country, in one week at
the end of last year, five hundred packages were for-
warded to that number of local secretaries and agents,
containing. 17,500 prints, with 17,500 sheets of tissue-
paper, 55,300 copies of prospectus, 13,578 receipts, and the
same number of print-orders, 8,000 almanacs, and 10,265
other papers, making a total of 135,715 pieces.
" For the ensuing year it is proposed to offer to each
subscriber an impression of a plate by Mr. Willmore,
A E.R.A. from the picture " A Water Party," by Mr. J.
J. Chalon, together with a volume containing 30
wood engravings illustrative of "Childs Harold," from
drawings by Messrs. Ansdell, Cope, R.A., E. Corbould,
Dodgsou, Duncan, T. Faed, John Gilbert, James Godwin,
F. Goodall, A.R.A., J. Holland, Hulme, Hart, R. A.,
Lake Price, Leitch, Selous, Tenniel, and Wehuert. The
Council have reason to believe that this will be a beauti-
ful work.
" The lithograph from Mr. Frith's picture from the
Bourgeois Gentilhomme, "The Three Bows," which Mr.
Maguire was commissioned to produce, has been com-
pleted, and the right to receive copies of it will be all ,tted
to-day. As it is a very satisfactory production, your
Coancil have commissioned Mr. Maguire to make a com-
panion lithograph from " The Supper Scene," by the same
artist, from the same play.
" The Council have the satisfaction of announcing that
the " Flaxman" medal has been successfully executed by
Mr. Henry Weigall, and they congratulate the members
on the production of so beautiful and excellent a specimen
of a branch of art which they have always been desirous
of encouraging, and which they consider not to be suffi-
ciently appresiated in this country either in an artistic or
an historical point of view. The Council had entrusted
the execution of a medal of Flaxman to the late Wm.
Wyon, R.A., but his untimely death precluded the accom-
plishment of their purpose, and caused the delay which has
occurred. Impressions of this medal will be allotted to-
day. The medal of the above distinguished artist, the
late Mr. Wyon, by his son, Mr. Leonard Wyon, is com-
pleted, and will be issued on a future occasion.
" Mr. Thorneycroft has executed an equestrian statuette
of the Queen, as her Majesty was seen in the camp at Chob-
ham, an exciting scene foreshadowing a stern reality little
contemplated. Copies of this statuette, in bronze, will be
distributed to-day. Some bronzes of " Satan Dismayed,"
copies of the composition illustrative of " Wellington's
Entry into Madrid," produced in electrotype, after the
model by Mr. Jeffreson, and porcelain statuettes of " Soli-
tude," and the "Dancing Girl Reposing, will also be in-
cluded in the distribution. The manufacture of bronzes iu
this country, notwithstanding the impulse given by our
proceedings in this respect, is still very limited, and might
most usefully be increased. There is here a promising
field for the exercise of British ingenuity and skill at pre-
sent little worked. The production of artistic forms in
zinc, a branch of art carried to considerable perfection
abroad, is altogether neglected in this country, and the
same may be said of cameo-cutting.
" Following up their previous endeavours to aid in the
improvement of iron castings, the Council have determined
on the execution of an ornamental vase in that material,
from a fine example in the British Museum, for the sub-
scribers of a future year. In other branches of art, they
have commissioned the production, in porcelain statuary,
of a reduced copy of the beautiful antique bust "Cleite, '
in the Townley Collection. They also propose to put in
hand forthwith a volume of wood engravings, from fine
pictures by deceased British artists—works " clothing the
palpable and familiar with golden exhlalations of the
dawn." 378 works of art were purchased by the prize-
holders last year from the various public exhibitions of the
season, ranging in value from 2501. downwards. These
were exhibited in the Suffolk-street, Gallery, by the kind
permission of the Society of British Artists, and were
visited by very large numbers of persons, as usual without
the slightest accident, although for part of the time the
general public were admitted without any restriction.
" The Council have lost the co-operation of a valued
member of their body, and frequent attendant at their
meetings —the Honourable Mr. Justice Talfourd, of whom
it is suficient to say that his death is mourned by the
country. The retiring members are Baron de Goldsmid,
William Leaf, Esq., and the Very Rev. the Dean of St.
Paul's. To fill the four vacancies thus caused, the Hon.
Mr. Justice Williams, E. W Field, Thos. Macdonald, Esq.,
and W. J. Smith, Esq., have been elected. The reserved
fund now amounts to the sum of 5,7641.

(THIS DAY.)

A Sketcher's Tour Round the World. By Robert.
Elwes, Esq., with Illustrations from original
Drawings byethe Author. Second Edition.
_Hurst and Blackett.
This work has met with a favourable reception,
'which is not surprising, whether it be regarded as
an ornamental or a useful production ; as the
former, from the merit of the sketches presented
to our notice, which represent the various scenes
referred to in the travels, and the taste and skill
displayed in the general arrangement of the book
may appropriately grace a drawing-room table.
As the latter, it contains much useful information,
and presents graphic descriptions of places that
have not heel' as yet much treated of in tours and
travels. Besides these comparatively neglected
regions, there are several celebrated and well-known
localities which are rendered interesting by the
amusing anecdotes and spirited sketches of society
here given in their details. That time and place
were not wanting to furnish opportunity and sub-
jects for the author, is apparent from the fact of
his having been travelling for the space of two
years and three months, a distance of thirty-six
thousand miles. One of the most pleasing passages
in the book is that which refers to South America.
" The first day in any foreign region is said to be
One great era in one's life ; the first day in an ori-
ental town is certainly another; and the first day in
a tropical country, like Brazil, is no mean third.'
The tropical forests of unfading green are ably de-
scribed, and their appearance at night is an inte-
resting sketch. The scene given of the forest in
the Organ Mountains is very fine :—" The trees
thicklycovered with creepers and parasitical plants,
formed a green arch over the torrent, and the sun
shining through with a dim broken light could
. hardly penetrate the thick veil. Every turn of
the brook seemed more lovely than the one before
it. Sometimes a huge tree had fallen across,
Making a sort of bridge covered with vegetation;
here a clump of bamboos overtopped the trees, and
hung down again nearly to the water; there the
Palrnito with its slender stem rose above all the
rest, and waved its feathery crown in the air."
The illustration of Lima by moonlight is very
beautiful.

At a recent artistic dinner, Mr. Disraeli, commenting on
the difficulty with which the mass of the people had been
led to appreciate art, and sympathise with artists, and in-
quiring into the causes of this, asked with reference to
those who attributed it to our devotion to money-making,
if it were true that we are so entirely devoted to material
interests, that a general feeling for the fine arts cannot be
supported and maintained in England? "If we examine
the evidence," said the speaker, " I must confess it does
not seem to me to substantiate that theory. Who, for
example, are the most munificent and most influential pa-
trans of the fine arts? Do we not find them among the
most busy classes ? Among those who are suppposed to
be entirely devoted to the pursuits of material fortune, the
manufacturers and merchants of England. One of the
, great features of the present day is the taste shown by the
' middle classes for the fine arts. "I do not mean to say,"
he continued, "that the aristocracy of England have not
always been most distinguished by their taste for, and
have not been foremost in their support of, the fine arts,
by which they have benefitted by the refinement and cul-
tivation of their minds ; but is the great feature of society
ha the present day that the most munificent patrons of the
fine arts are found among the middle classes." That the
Art-Union of London has greatly contributed to bring
about this result is the chief boast of its supporters, and
their chief reward ; and it is their further aim to extend
this taste until it influence all classes of society."
The noble CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report.
Sergeant THOMPSON seconded the motion.
The report was then agreed to.
The drawing of the prizes was then proceeded with.

ARRIVAL OF GOLD.—The whole of the recent Aus-
tralian arrivals have proved inadequate to meet the de-
mand for gold for the continent, and a further consider-
able sum was taken yesterday from the Bank of England.
FALL OF SNOW.—Between ten and eleven o'clock
yesterday morning the metropolis was visited with a fall
of snow. The flakes were large ; but the descent was
only of moreentary duration. About two o'clock ano-
ther fall of snow took place, which continued for Rome
time. Considerable curiosity was manifested at so un-
expected an occurrence.

AMSTERDAM AND ROTTERDAM PRODUCE MAREETS.-.-
The weekly reviews from the Amsterdam and Rotter-
dam produce markets mention that prices were rather
firmer, owing to increased operations. In coffee the
demand, although principally for local consumption, had
caused higher rates. Sugar, raw and refined, was well
supported. No great variation was noticeable in tea or
indigo, and the quotation for rice was steady.
ROUEIC—The letters from Rouen state that the
market for manufactures had slightly recovered, the fa-
vourable state of the weather having influenced business.
BAR SILVER.— The bar silver brought by the last
West India steamer was sold to-day for the continent at
300. a decline of an eighth.
DEPARTURES FOB AUSTRALIA.—The departures from
the port of London for the Australian colonies during
the past week show a decrease. They have comprised
altogether ten vessels--six to Port Phillip, with an ag-
gregate burden of 3,051 tons ; two to Adelaide, with
an aggregate burden of 260 tons ; one to Sydney, of
732 tons ; and one to New Zealand, of 640 tuna. Their

CHANGE 1N THE ADMIRALTY BOARD,

MINES

We (Herald) stated some months since that it was in
contemplation to give the senior naval Lord of the
Admiralty, Vice-Admiral Hyde Parker, a less responsi-
ble office than the one he has from ill-health and bodily
infirmity so feebly occupied for the last two years, and
that he would succeed Vice-Admiral the Hon. J. Percy
as commander-in-chief at Sheerness.

21 11 i

29 i

The whole service will be glad to hear that the gallant
invalid has accepted the Sheerness command, and the
navy and country will be still more gratified with the
information, that the gallant and distinguished officer
who returned yesterday from the command in chief of the
North American and West India station, Vice-Admiral
Sir G. F. Seymour, K.C.8.,K.C.H., has been selected
for the post vacated by Vice-Admiral Parker, and
in a few days will be installed as the senior naval
lord of the Board of Admiralty. Next to that of com-
mander-in-chief of the Baltic fleet, Sir G. Seymour has
now a position which, beyond must men on the flag list,
he is the best qualified to fill. No man has had more
experience either afloat or ashore-either in war or peace
-either in a civil or military capacity, than Sir G. F,
Seymour. Those in the navy who remember the gallant 1
deeds of Cochrane, will not forget the share the captain
of the Pallas took at the Aix Roads expedition, and the
manly, honest, straightforward evidence the " young
officer" gave at Lord Gambier's court-martial. Sir
George was a Lord of the Admiralty with Sir G. Cock-
burn under Lord Haddington's presidency.
The following sketch of Sir G. Seymour's career is
extracted from " O'Byrne's Naval Biography :"-
" Sir George Francis Seymour, born in September, 1787,
is eldest son of the late Vice-Admiral Lord Hugh Seymour
(fifth son of Francis, first Marquis of Hertford, K.G.) by
Anne Horatia, third daughter of James, second Earl
Waldegrave, whose widow married, a second time, his
Royal Highness William Henry Duke of Gloucester, bro-
ther of King George 111. He is brother of the late Lieut.
Colonel Hugh Henry Seymour; is uncle of Commander
F. P. B. Seymour, R.N. ; and is closely connected with
the families of the Duke of Grafton, the Marquises of
Cholmondeley,Huntley,Bristol, and Londonderry,the Earls
of Drogheda, Grandison, and Lincoln, the Viscounts Chet-
wynd, and Torrington, and Lord Southampton.
" This officer entered the navy Oct. 10, 1797, as first-
class volunteer, on board the Princess Augusta yacht,
Captain Edward Rion, lying in the River Thames, and
from March, 1791, until May, 1802, was employed on the
Channel and West India stations, the last two years and
four months in the capacity of midshipman, in the Sans-
pareil, 80, Prince of Wales, 98, and Sanspareil again, all
flag-ships of his father, and Acasta, 40, Captain Edward
Fellowes. In the Prince of Wales he witnessed the sur-
render of Surinam, in August, 1799 ; and in the Acasta he
assisted in making a variety of prizes. He was subse-
quently, in the course of 1802-3, employed on the Home,
Newfoundland, and Mediterranean stations ; in the Endy-
mion 40, Captain John Larmour ; Isis, 50, bearing the
flag of Vice-Admiral James Gambier; Endymion, asecond
time, Captain Hon. Charles Paget ; and Victory, 100,
bearing the flag of L•rd Nelson. Under Captain Paget
we find him contributing, June 18 and 25, July 16, and
August 14, 1803, to the capture of La Colombo and La
Bacchante, corvettes of 16 and 18 guns, L'Adour store-
ship, and Le General Moreau, privateer, of 16 guns. In
February and March, 1804, he was nominated in succes-
sion acting lieutenant of the Madras, 54, and Donegal, 74,
and while in the latter ship, to which he was confirmed by
a commission bearing date Oct. 12, 1804, he aided in
taking the Spanish frigates Matilda and Amfitrite, the
former laden with quicksilver worth 200,000/.-accom-
panied Lord Nelson to the West Indies and back, in 1805,
in pursuit of the combined squadrons of France and Spain,
and participated in the capture of El Rayo, of 100 guns,
one of the ships recently defeated at Trafalgar. On Feb.
6, 1806, a few days after he had joined the Northumber-
land, 74, flag-ship of Rear-Admiral Hon. Alexander
Cochrane, Lieut. Seymour fought in the action of St.
Domingo, on which occasion a grapeshot penetrated his
jaw, and carried away several teeth. Having been ad-
vanced 22d January preceding to the rank of commander,
he removed as such on the 9th February to the Kingfisher
sloop, in which vessel, in the ensuing May, he took
in tow the Pallas, 32, Captain Lord Cochrane, after
that ship had been disabled in action, wider the batteries
of Ile d'Aix, with the French frigate La Minerve. He was
posted, July 29,1806, into the Aurora, 28, stationed in the
Mediterranean • and was subsequently appointed, Feb. 15,
1808, to the Pallae, 32, in which frigate he took part in
Lord Cochrane's celebrated attack upon the French shipping
in the Basque Roads-Sept. 16, 1809, June 1, 1812, and
Jan. 1, 1813, tothe Manilla, 36, Fortunee, 36, and Leonidas,
38;employed on the Lisbon, Irish, and West India stations ;
and May 21, 1827, for a few months, to the Briton, 46, en-
gaged on particular service. In the Leonidas, which ship
he left Sept. 14, 1814, Captain Seymour captured, May 23,
1813, the American privateer Paul Jones, of 16 guns and
85 men, five of whom were wounded during the chase. He
was nominated a C.B. June 4, 1815; awarded, May 28,
1816, a pension of 2501. per annum for his wound; nomi-
nated a K. C.F. (accompanied with the honour of knight-
hood) in 1831, and a G.C.H. Dec. 9, 1834; and advanced
to flag rank Nov. 23, 1841. He filled a seat at the Board
of Admiralty from September, 1841, until appointed, May
14, 1844, commander-in-chief in the Pacific. He sailed for
that station with his flag in the Collingwood, 80, and con-
tinued there until relieved in 1848 by Rear-Admiral
Phipps Hornby.
" In 1818 Sir G. F. Seymour was appointed by his uncle,
the Marquis of Hertford, then Lord Chamberlain, serjeant-
at-arms to the House of Lords. From August 4, 1830,
until he resigned, Nov. 11 following, he was a naval aide-
de-camp to William IV. ; under whom he filled the office
of Master of the Robes from Sept. 13, 1830, until the period
of his death. Sir George married in March, 1811,
Georgina Mary, second daughter of the late Admiral Hon.
Sir G. Cranfield Berkeley, G C. 8., by whom he has issue
three sons and five daughters."
