TEE APOLLO AND MARSYAS PICTURE

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—I enclose for publication a translation of a
document which has been forwarded to me, by order
of his Excellency the Governor of Venice, and signed
by him. So high a tribute to genius cannot but
prove of great interest to every man of refine-
ment.-1 am, sir, yours obediently,

MORRIS MOORE.

(Translation.)
We have the pleasure to communicate to you that in
consequence of your having, with immense success pub-
licly exhibited in Paris,* Munich, Dresden, and Vienna,
in furtherance of pious and philanthropic objects, the pic-
ture of Apollo and Marsyas in your possession, and of this
picture having been everywhere acknowledged to be not
only an undoubted original by Raphael, but ono of singular
interest, and in consequence, moreover, of your having de-
sired to exhibit the said picture in this Aocademia di Belle
Arti side by side with the corresponding original draw-
ing by Raphael, the Supreme Ministry of Worship and
Public Instruction, in reply to the petition which you
had addressed to it, and in consideration that the
exhibition of your famous picture, side by side with the ori-
ginal drawing belonging to this academy, would be of the
deepest interest to all artists and lovers of art, forwartlecl
orders to the Government of this Suogotenenza, not only
to grant you the public exhibition of your picture of
"Apollo and Marsyas," side by side with the correspond-
ing drawing belonging to this academy, in a suitable place
in the same, but in every possible way zealously to assist
you towards this object.
At the same time, the Supreme Ministry of Worship and
Public Instruction, in order to protect so great a treasure as
an original picture by Raphael from every possible risk
through inadvertent handling, enjoined the Government
of this Suogotenenza to make arrangements that the usual
Custom-house operations be waived respecting the case
containing it, especially on your quitting Venice; and that,
above all, be omitted the opening of itvor the placing of
arly lir, 1! it. :!, r
Hy., ,•,. tO th, ~,itocv ['Ty •;;(2
Accademia di Belle Arti, and in the understanding cntercd
into with the I. R. Prefecture of Finance, you will have
recognised the ready zeal with which the Government of
this Suogotenenza has fulfilled the high behests of the
Supreme Ministry. 4
In the meantime steps will at once be taken that the name
of Montagna be removed from Raphael's original drawing
of " Apollo and Marsyas," belonging to the Accademia di
Belle Arti of Venice, and that its authenticity be established
in a way to cause all doubt to cease.
Accept the assurance of my highest consideration,
Venice, March 1, 1860. TOGGENBURG.

The " Apollo and Marsyas" was not so exhibited at
Paris. At Munich and at Venice it was exhibited in aid
of the Artistz' Benevolent Fund; at Dresden and at YienD

DRURY-LANE.

A new three act drama, entitled " Christmas
Eve, or the Duel in the Snow," was produced here
last night. The object of the piece is to introduce
a grand tableau of the celebrated French painting,
" The duel after the Masquerade," which all lovers
of art must be well acquainted with. The author has
invented a very telling plot, and it is worked out
very well by Messrs. Emery, Verner, Roxby, Miss
Page, and Miss E. Howard. The story is briefly
as follows :—A certain Charles Andry, a poor poet,
secures the assistance of a certain elderly lady, and
owing to her patronage he rises in public estima-
tion, and eventually marries the lady, who is im-
mensely rich. The marriage turns out an ill-assorted
one, as Charles discovers that the real object
of his affection is a young and beautiful girl,
Emily Londale. The wife discovers the cause of
her husband's uneasiness, and in mistake swallows
poison, which Sir Charles had mixed for himself.
At the commencement of the second act we find Sir
Charles married to his lady love, but borne down
by melancholy, caused by the dreadful death of his
first wife. The young lady, not liking the gloomy
character of her husband, whom she expected to
find a gay, light-hearted man of fashion, elopes
with a certain Captain Dashford, a seeming friend
of Sir Charles. Sir Charles, after a long search,
finds the destroyer of his wife's fame at a masked
ball in Paris, in the disguise of an Indian chief.
Satisfaction is demanded, and then we kave a grand
tablOau—"The duel after the Masquerade"—the re-
sult of which is death to both parties engaged in
the conflict. The characters were all well sup-
ported, especially that of a coquettish lady's maid,
by Miss E. Howard, who bids fair to become a
finished actress. The scenery of the play is well
painted, especially the Bois de Boulogne, with the
telling effect of falling snow.
The piece was given out for repetition every
evening until further notice by Mr. Emery.

Mr. NEWDEGATE asked the Attorney-General whe-

whether it referred to French produce only, or to the pro-
duce of all other countries?

The ATTORNEY-GENER A.L explained that the
introduction of the productions of other countries was pro-
vided for by the article in question, for if it was other-
wise a special provision would bo specified in the caso of
France by the imposition of a differential duty in favour of
that eountry.

EX PARTE

Mr Beard applied to the Court for leave to amend the
award of the arbitrator in a case which had been referred.
He said there was an obvious error, which the Court could
rectify.
Mr. Angell, on the other side, objected. The Court had
no power to alter the terms of the award, at all events, not
without notice to all parties.
His Honour said he had nothing to do with it. The
case was not in court—it had been referred to arbitration.
Mr. Board submitted that the case was still before the
Court, and stood adjourned.
His Honour—No more so than in any similar case in the
superior courts. There would be a rule of court to enter
judgment on the arbitration. At all events, I can do
nothing unless all the parties are before me.
Mr. Board said he would give notice and move on a
future day.

IMPORT MARKET.

Cotton Manufactures.—The market for piece goods has
become more depressed, and prices have undergone a fur-
ther decline. Gray shirtings, 40-inch and 45-inch have
again receded, with the exception of 91b. and upwards,
which are scarce. 60-inch and 64-inch are in good inquiry,
though at a slight reduction. Gray longcloth is in heavy
stock, with little or no demand, and very few sales have
taken place even at lower prices. There is very little in-
quiry for domestics, and sales can only be effected at a great
concession of prices. Gray twill remains neglected. Gray
cambric is less steady. T-cloth has very little inquiry, and
prices are lower. Gray madapollams are in moderato de-
mand at reduced quotations. Gray printers are dull. Gray
jacconots are quoted lower. Gray mulls are less steady.
Bleached goods are moderately inquired for; white shirt-
ings, madapollams, and jacconots of common to middling
qualities have some inquiry at reduced prices. In shirtings
and jacconets of fine quality sales have been effected at a
further decline of from 6 to 10 annas. Figured shirtings are
inquired for at full quotations. Glasgow goods are in very
moderate demand. A fair inquiry prevails for ordinary
bleached mull, while fine is neglected. Lappets have de-
clined. Coloured lappets are very dull, and aro further re-
duced
in price.. Dhoties .
are
moderate inquiry. Turkey
red goods are out of inquiry, and prices have further re-
ceded. The business transacted during the fortnight has
been moderate.

THE BOMBAY MAIL.

By the arrival of the Bombay mail we have re-
ceived files of papers from Bombay to the 27th of
December.

We take the following summary from the Bombay

Times:—

" The Ghoorka campaign against the rebels on the
Nepaulese frontier has begun and ended. Towards
the end of November Jung Bahadoor marched his
forces into the Terai, and in one week he had killed,
taken, or dispersed the forces of the mutineers, and
was preparing to return in triumph to Katmandoo.
The fats of one or two of the leading personages in
the rebel camp is still somewhat obscure ; but about
the main fact, that the bandsiof desperate men who
have so long successfully evaded our pursuit are now
finally rooted out, there is happily no dispute. SL
strictly kept was the cordon on the British side of
the frontier that as soon as the Ghoorkas advanced
the rebels had no choice but to make one rush with
their whole strength to break through the weakest
part of the Nepaulese line, and, this failing, to sur-
render or die. But, worn by disease and famine,
and dispirited with having watched anxiously, but
in vain, in their jungles during so many months for
the smallest loophole of escape, these men appear in
the closing scene of their career not to have fought
with that determined and hopeless valour by which
the worst of mankind may redeen their names from
utter hatred and contempt, and attract to them-
selves at the last somewhat of human sympathy and
admiration. Their death is as ignoble as their life;
they have been destroyed like rats in a hole, instead
of falling like brave soldiers. At first, indeed, the
Nepaulese troops had a slight brush with the rebels.
Bainie Aladhoo, with 1,200 men, made a stand for
some time against a portion of Jung Bahadoor's
army, and they must have fought with some detcr-
mination, for they left their leader and half of their
number dead on the field, But after this the rebels
fought no more. Lieutenant Cosserat, with a small
party of Oude police, fell in with the Nusseerabad
Brigade, and drove them back into the jungle ; and
the next day the whole brigade, still, it is said,
about 800 or 1,000 strong (it originally numbered
1,600 men), surrendered to the Ghoorkas. The
Nusseerabad leaders, Dabee and Gunga Sing, with
most of the prisoners, have been sent in to the
British camp, whither also were on their way, at

the date of our latest advices from Oude, thinner
Sing, a brother of Koer Sing, Bullee Sing, and
Mumraoo Khan, who had come in separately with
small bodies of followers. Parties of prisoners, too,
were arriving daily, and, as the rebel force was be-
lieved at the commencement of the campaign to
consist of only 4,000 men, and between 2,000 and
3,000 are already taken, in addition to those that
have been killed in battle, the once formidable
army of the mutineers may be said, without a figure
of speech, to have ceased to exist. Nana Sahib is
now confidently reported to be among the dead.
The Ghoorkas have monopolised all the glory, such
as it is, and all the profits, which will be very
great, of the campaign."

LANDED ESTATES COURT.
The Tipperary estates of Mr. John Prendergast
were put up yesterday in seven lots, the whole of
which realised about £20,000. The rates of pur-
chase were generally high. The owner of the pro-
perty was the petitioner in the matter.

MAYO FOR TIIR POPE.
Archbishop M'Hale has somewhat tardily taken
the field in defence of spiritual despotism. He has
summoned a meeting of his subjects, to be held at
Castlebar on Tuesday, the 7th of February next.
The requisition, which fills nearly a page of a local
paper, is graced by the signature of a real live tem-
poral lord, Baron Ffrench. There are also the
names of fourteen magistrates appended to the
document, and, as for the devoted clergy, the num-
ber is quite past counting.

THE LATE MR. MASSEY O'GRADY.

• DUBLIN, Friday.
The body of Mr. Massey O'Grady was dis-
covered yesterday in a river that runs near New-
pallas station, county Limerick. It appears to
have been in the water for some time.
