PICTUREa IN THE TIIENCII
EXELIBITION.

The strongest Exhibition is of course the French,
but it is not of equal strength throughout, being
weakened and disfigured by occasional excesses of
false taste, though these are proportionately rarer
in French art than they were formerly. Amongst
the new names Bonnat deserves our most respect-
ful mention, in spite of a Spanish tendency to
blackness, which is carried to a still greater excess
by another skilful Frenchman, Ribot.

After the French Exhibition comes the Belgian
one. It is, on the whole, the most entirely good
modern exhibition of pictures we ever saw. It is
not overwhelming in quantity, and the selection
must have been severe for the quality to be so uni-
formly high. The three artists best represented are
Leys, Willems, and Alfred Stevens.
The worst exhibition is that of Portugal. It is
astounding. It is the worst public exhibition of
pictures we ever saw, except the " Salon des
Refuses" in 1863.

The English gallery may fairly claim to rank
after that of Belgium; but English pictures are
never agreeable in large masses, because our artists
are so strongly individual that their works hurt
each other much. The English gallery is like an
orchestra every member of which is playing a dif-
ferent tune, but the players are, separately, very
skilful executants.

We have been agreeably surprised by the Spanish
Exhibition, of which our expectations were not
great. Let us especially mention Palmaroli's mag-
nificent picture, " Sermon a la Chapelle Sixtine."

The Bavarian Exhibition is strong in some points,
but not in ambitious historical painting on a great
scale. The finest work here, to our feeling, is
Piloty's " Death of Caesar." It is a most admirable
compo.4tion, full of unity and breadth, and painted
with supreme skill.
The Belgian, Bavarian, and Swigs Exhibitions
have separate buildings of their own, in the garden.
The Swiss Exhibition happened to be closed, during
the days we had reserved for it, in order to paint
the floors and let the paint dry—a useless expendi-
ture, as we do not go to a picture exhibition to look
at a painted floor ; but this is exactly like every-
thing else about the Universal Exhibition, which is
not yet in a condition to be opened, even at the
end of 'a month after the official inauguration. The
Swiss Exhibition was only like most other con-
structions in the garden, which usually bear one of
the following inscriptions :—" Le public n'entre
pas," "Entree Interdite," " On n'entre pas ici,"
" Defense d'entrer."

The Swedish and Norwegian Exhibitions are
both headed by a Royal contributor, K:ng Charles.
We regret not to be able to say anything very
favourable of his landscapes, but we applaud his
love of nature. As an artist, King Charles seems
too unhesitating, considering his stage of progress ;
his work is not thoughtful enough. He is far too
sure of what he.is about, and has learned the trick
of this kind of workmanship far too thoroughly.
'this is the work of a confident and half-educated
amateur, fond of nature, but wholly ignorant of the
requirements of painting as an art.
The Italian Exhibition seldom rises much above
mediocrity, but it does so in some instances and
deserves study. The best Italian art seems to be
founded on the most recent French manner. Thus
the manner of Pasini has an evident connection with
that of Belly. Pasini, like our own Wyld, really
belongs to the French school, for he lives in Paris
and always contributes to the Salon. His great
picture in the Universal Exhibition, " Le Schah de
Peres parcourant les provinces de son royaume," is
one of the finest things there.

The American Exhibition is small iu quantity,
but of high quality, especially in landscape. The
" Niagara" of Church, and the " Rocky Mountains"
of Bierstadt, are at the head of American landscape,
but several other works closely approach and sustain
portraits, especially the
them. Mr. W. M. Ilant's
one of Abraham Lincoln, are remarkable.
The great German school would of itself deserve
long and careful study, but it would be necessary
to distinguish the true tendencies of the artists
from the false directions imposed upon them by
German theories and philosophies of art. A labour
of this kind would be arduous, and of course en-
tirely beyond the already attained limits of our
space.--Saturday Review.

ROYAL SCHOOL FOR DAUGHTERS OF
MILITARY OFFICERS.

The third annual meeting of the supporters of this
institution was held yesterday in the theatre of the
United Service Museum, Whitehall-yard; the Duke
of Cambridge in the chair, supported by the Earl
of Cardigan, Earl Powis,
WLordu
r I
Pollockl. eP,auA, 1 esstitibr
Ashburn-
ham, Generals Sir W. Gomm
Codrington, Sir E. Ct; Sir
st. Law. e 1
ham, Hope, Westfield, and a large number of
military officers. The Rev. Mr. Jenner, the secre-
tary, read the report, which stated that the
school had made considerable progress since the
last annual meeting. The number of pupils then
fifty, while the number
innowthise
69s,choofol aswhwom
47 have been elected by the
subscribers, paying £l2 each per annum, and 22
have been admitted on nomination by the committee,
paying each £5O per annum. The daughters of all
officers in her Majesty's army, inclusive of the
marines, are eligible for admission from 10 to 15
years of age. The number of applications for ad-
mission are most pressing—some of a most painful
nature, and many of these the committee have been
compelled to reject solely from the want of funds.
The income of the past year exceeds the current
expenditure, and a large number of pupils could
be admitted if the state of the funds allowed the
necessary accommodation to be provided. The
annual subscriptions for the past year had been
£2,544, being an increase over those of the preced-
ing year of £967. The total income of the year had
been £11,290 ss. 10d. The expenditure, including
the rebuilding of the school, the purchase of land,
and the general expenses, had been 115,143 55.,
leaving a liability of £3,807, which had been reduced
since the balance-sheet had been made up by £l,OOO.
The chairman said the deficiency had arisen from
the committee having been disappointed in the
receipt of a large sum of money they had been pro-
mised, and but for which they would not have
entered upon such extensive building transactions.
However, there was still good ground for hoping
that the money would yet be paid over. Under
the circumstances, he would advise the strictest
economy on the committee, and that on no account
should they admit more scholars than they consi-
dered the state of the funds would warrant until
the debt was cleared off. Nothing so much ham-
pered the managers of a charitable institution as a
heavy debt hanging over their heads. He was
happy at ;;eeing himself surrounded by such a large
number of general officers, as it augured well for
the future of an institution in which he took a
deep interest. Military officers as a body were
unable to subscribe largely to the institution, and
it must therefore depend in some measure on the
support of the general benevolent public. He con-
cluded by strongly advocating they
.claims of the
society. On the motion of Sir illiam Gonun,
seconded by Earl "'owls, the report was adopted.
The meeting was afterwards addressed by Sir W.
Codrington, General Lawrence, the Earl of Cardi-
gan, the Hon. Sir E. Cust, and others ; and the
committee of management for the ensuing year hav-
ing been elected, the proceedings concluded with a
vote of thanks to the chairman.
