BIELEFELD'S PAPIER MACHE PICTURE
FRAMES,
26, NORTH JOHN-STREET,
SIX DOORS FROM LORD-STREET.

A RTISTS, PICTURE DEALERS, and others, are in-
/I- formed that a New and Miniature Work is now pub-
lishing, containing Drawings of Fifty Picture Frames, ma-
nufactured in BIELEFELD'S PAPIER 3dACHE, from
some of the finest Carvings of the sevexteenth century.
They are clearly drawn, on a very s I scale, upon thin
tinted paper, and can be forwarded by st, upon the receipt
of six Postoffice Stamps ; the price nd dimensions are
g l
attached, and the Frames can be had either in plain Oak and
Gold, or Gilt. There is a number to each, by which an order
may be sent from any part of the country.
" The Frames of Mr. Bielefeld present the best charac-
teristics of fine carving; the course of the chisel, though
subdued, is everywhere apparent, and the liberal resort to
undercutting, and occasional nearly alto-relief, realize the
peculiar finesse and spirit of the best manipulists among the
old carvers in wood, substituting for the dull, prim, and me-
chanical mediocrity of works in putty composition, an easy,
liberal, and artistic dexterity in the execution, which must
be appreciated by every lover of the excellent. They may be
recommended also on other grounds ; when conveyed from
place to place, (to provincial exhibitions, for example,) they
are liable to no injury from chipping, as the common Frames
are. An essential advantage also is, that these Frames weigh
no more than half the weight of the usual Frames o_f
ottlaif
same size. We strongly urge upon Artists to visit this .I!;
blishment, and examine for themselves. —Art Unian.

'-'-------DISTOEBANCES AT GENEVA.—An insurrectionary move-
ment manifested itself at Geveva at 6o'clock on the evening
of the l3th inst. The tocsin was immediately sounded, and
' the insurgents, who mostly belonged to the suburb of St.
Gervais, the centre of the partisans of the movement.
gained possession of two of the city gates (those of Corns-
vin and Hives.) A collision took place between them and
troops, ,in which eleven persons were said to have been
killed or wounded. Among the dead were Messrs. Four-
nier, Major of the place, and Fech, a Councillor of State.
The insurgents marched against the Hotel de Ville, the seat
of Government, but failed in their attempt to carry it. An
attack was equally made against the powder-mill, which was
vigorously defended, and remained in the hands ot' the Go-
visits, in order
vernment The movement was believed to have been occa-
casioned by a law voted on the 13th by the Council of State,
authorizing the police to institute domicilary
to di.scovcr the hiding place of a foreigner "Trilled from the
Canton.
