THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH IN INDIA.

The limes of India of December 25th states that the
Duke of Edinburgh landed in Calcutta three days pre-
viously, amid every token of rejoicing. The procession
was imposing, and in the evening his Royal Highness,
accompanied by the Viceroy, paid a state visit to
the opera. The municipal corporation and residents of
Calcutta have prepared an address to the Duke which
bears 1924 signatures. The festivities in honour of the
royal visit to Singapore were cut short by the death of
Colonel Macpherson, Lieutenant-Governor of the Straits
Settlements. Sir Donald M'Leod, Lieutenant-Governor
.If the Punjaub, h.ts also been seriously indisposed.
Th remains of the late Dr. Gilbert Ainslie, the
Master of Pembroke College, were removed from Cam-
bridge yesterday morning to Ball Garth, the family seat
in Lancashire.

A committee was forme I yesterday, at a meeting
at Manchester (presided ov,r br the mayor), to co-operate
with the general zommittt o appointed at the recent county
meeting in Lancashire., to provide funds for a memorial to
the late Earl of 1)(»•1)y.

SOCIETY OF FINE ARTS.—On Thursday, January
13th, Mr. IVyke Bayliss delivered the first lecture of the
season before the Society of Fine Arts, on " Blessing the
Cornfields, or Landscape Art in Poetry." Taking the word
blessing in its simplest meaning—to praise, to glorify, to
extol for excellencies—and the cornfield as a type
of landscape beauty, the two words together de-
clare the subject, " Blessing the Cornfields,"
celebrating the infinite glory of the world around us,
witnessing to the splendour of the natural creation. Mr.
Bayliss shewed that the blindness of the early schools to
landscape art was as marked in poetry as in painting, and
that with the modern school of landscape painting had
been developed also a school of landscape poetry—Milton
andClaude,Turner and the Lake poets ,our living landscapists,
whether in poetry or painting. These shew us the sunrise
instead of sorrow, the fields instead of pain, the dark
cypress beneath the moon rather than Diana stooping to
kiss Endymion, the blaze of meridian light rather than
Apollo in his chariot, the cornfields rather than
Ceres. He shewed likewise that in blessing the
corn-fields we bless the reapers also ; for there is scope
for earnest thought, deep passion, playful imagination,
tenderest memories, sweetest hope in landscape art, which
includes all the cornfields that lie between the trees
of the lost paradise and the white rose of the paradise to
come. Mr. Bayliss's lecture was exceedingly well re-
ceived, one speaker after another rising to express their
pleasure.

An effort will be made in Congress this Session
to bring Colorado into the Union as a State. Its rapidly
increasing population, its great mineral wealth, its majestio
scenery and salubrious climate, all now opened by the
railway to Denver, have raised it in public estimation, and
this timo the attempt will in all probability be success-
ful. Au effort, too, will be made by Western Congress-
men largely to Increase the representation under the
apportionment for the coming decade. By the way, people
err in counting the present year as the commencement of
the new decade, whereas it is the last of the old decade.
Mr. Judd's bill fixes the number of representatives at 300,
and it is said that it will receive the support of the ma-
jerky in Congress.
LAD VERTISEMENT.J—henceforth no one will doubt the valuable
properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Revalenta Arabic&
Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings
it has already received from Invalids whose position had been
deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holiness the Pope,
whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty years of
unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the " Gazette du
Midi," July 25th:—" Rome, J my 21, 1866. - The health of the Holy
Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other reme-
dies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalcuta
Arabica Food, of which he consumes a plateful at every meal.
It has produced a surprisingly beneficial effect on his health, and
his Holiness cannot praise this excellent food too highl," We
