THE ART TREASURE'S

The daily papers publish further lists of valuable pictures
to k.e contributed to this grand exhibiticn of art.
Lord Carlisle has placed at the disc oral of the committee
a very fine selection of pictures flout his3allery at Castle
Howard, of which the following is a Hit :

Ludovico Carracci The Entombment
1 i itoretto
Tintoretto
AlabuEe

Francisco Pi imaticcio Penelope and Ulisso3
Acuibale Carracci Three Marys
Domenichino

Paul Brill
Adrian Brouwer
Correggio

The Mabuse, Annibale Carracci, and Correggio are pies
tures of a very high class, and the whole collection will be
a great acquisition. A letter was received from Lord.
Spencer also, whose collection at Althorp is one of the
richest in the kingdom, offering a very fine selection of pic-
tures from his gallery. A. list had been made out by Dr.
Waagen for the committee of 23 pictures in Lord Spencer's
possession, of the highest class, which he considered would
add greatly to the attraction of the exhibition, and would
help to carry out the chronological history, of art, which is
one of the objects aimed at. This list was sent to his lord-
ship, and it was felt that such a list was a largo demand
upon one individual's liberality, but the noble earl has re-
plied by not only placing these works at their disposal, but
adding that he believes since Dr. Wartgen's visit additions
have been made to his collection of very great value, a se -
I.sction from which would add interest to tne exhibition,
and he kindly invites the committee to send some person to
examine and select from these additional pictures. Among
the pictures which Lord Spencer, with such remarkable
liberality, has already promised are :—A small Raphael,
a valuable' specimen of Paris Borden°, a Van Cleve, a
Van Orley, three magnificent Vandykes, a Rubens, two
Rewbrandts, a Phillippe de Champagne, a Mignard, and a
Baroccio. A letter from Mr. Walter, of the Times, kindly
offers to contribute one of the finest specimens of the mas-
ter in England, a picture by Paul potter ; and if the com-
mittee should be desirous of receiving further conti ibu-
tions, he will gladly show his collection to any one they
may send to l3earwood for that purpose. Mr. B. Dobree
also places some very valuable pictures by the English
masters at the service of the committee, including Wilkie a,
Morland's, and Turner's. Lord De Tabley offers two of"
Turner's grandest pictures, and any further selection they,
may choose to make. Lord Sheffield promises two cele-
brated portraits by Sir Joshua Reynolds, one of them a.
portrait of Gibbon, the historian ; and Lord Dartmouth,
pictures by Claude, Snyders, Rubens, Wilson, and Law-
rence. Tho committee, it will be seen from a glance ate
even this brief list, continue to receive offers of the most
encouraging kind, and there can be no doubt that the ex-
hibition will be one of extraordinary attraction and value.

THE CASE OF LIEUT. DE,ANE.—Major An lerson, of
the 22d Regiment, in a letter to the Times, this morning,
comp!ains of the remarks of the ed.tor, 'who, in an aricle,
asserted "That Captain Barlow was placed undtr ar-
rest. That his books and chest were transferred to a
committee of paymastership, of which I was president.
That the chest was examined and font d empty." There
circumstances never occurred. Captain Ballow's money
chest was never examined, for I felt I could not order
such a step without at the same time relieving him pub-
licly in regimental orders from his duties as Paymaster;
and this was not done till Lieut. Deane arrived at Pew
hawur: • •

LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, Mg.

There is something in the inexorable resolve
manifested by Russia to pursue her traditional

schemes of aggression which should insure
thoughtful consideration and incessant watchful-
, ness. Whether victorious or defeated in the field
the result is the same in kind, though not in
degree ; her watchword is still—Onward. The
most striking feature in this pursuit is, when she
receives a check at arms, she becomes most dan-
gerous, almost invariably securing by her tortuous
diplomacy some advantage tending to the promo-
tion of her aims. The fact is she fights as a semi-
civilised nation will, with two arms—force and
fraud—and when beaten with one, throws all the
more energy into, and achieves a proportionate
success with, the other. The grand mistake in
dealing with her has been to overlook this, and,
treating ter as a civilised power, confide accord-
ingly in her good faith, a quality she really does
not cherish—lying, perjury, and fraud occupying

its place.
Whether her purposes will not have been really
advanced by the late War and " precious Peace "
remains to be seen. That she will owe to thew,

before many years are over, a vast accession of
strength, by means of the internal improvements
which they have led her to attempt, will not
admit of doubt. It is hardly less certain that,
unless she be cautiously and resolutely dealt
with, she will secure one important vantage
ground, from which, by the Treaty of Peace, it
was meant she should be excluded. We allude
to Bolgrad, situated on the Lake of Yalpuck,
which lake is connected with the Kilia arm of the
Danube by means of the Lake of Kagurlin and
the Respida River, which, the reader may see,
falls into the Danube close to the important
fortress of Ismail. The state of the case is this.
Austria proposed to the Allies the removal of
Russia entirely from the Danube, which proposi-
tion, being seriously entertained, a line of de
marcation between Russia and Moldavia was
drawn out, and offered at the Paris Conference,
whereby two-thirds of Bessarabia would have to
be ceded to the above Principality by Russia, and
the wish of Austria, we take it for granted, would
be carried out. To this boundary Russia would
not give her assent, and eventually the following
conditions were agreed to :—"The new frontier
shall begin at the Black Sea, at one kilo-
metre to the east of Lake Bourna Soula. ;
shall, in a straight line, join the road
to Ackreman, shall follow that road as far as
the valley of Trajan, shall pass to the south of
Bolgrad, shall ascend the river Yalpuck as far as
the heights of Saratsika, and shall end at Kota-
mori on the Pruth." Now comes the hitch.
The maps consulted in the formation of the above
boundary were Russian, and, as it turns out, did
not belie their origin. In all probability they
were constructed by Russia as of old for the occa-
sion. Be this as it may, when the line of boun-
dary came to be carefully considered after the
peace, it
.was discovered that the terra firma
between Bolgrad and the lake of Yalpuck, repre-
sented on the Russian maps, and selected as part
of the line of demarcation had no existence but
was mere moonshine ; while, to crown all, Russia
insists on keeping Bolgrad 1 The plea that she
put forth—that it is an important strategic po4i-
tion—meets with, it, is true, apparently little
credit in some quarters—but, nevertheless, may
prove unexaggerated. This much is certain :
Russia insists on keeping Bolgrad, and that
despite of the remonstrances of the Allies (rather
significant facts), and unless the " very active
