 The large historical picture, 1oW sx. hibiting at King 5 Gallery, has more = the truth and animation oi cal i fe. th,,n any We remember to have seen. lt 1 rea rcsents the landing of General f.aer cite sst Cincinnati, al.sl is . most ;,Iii. mated record of a scene that must has'a been highly impressive. The compos; ton is eneo uncommon difficulty. nre cluding almost entirely the bedu fdea1 whence historical painters draw solarge ly, for all that is most attractive iat ba;. works :; and yet the artist has contriyed to introduce a figure whose contour YnaT rival the grace and spirit of any Gre. clan model: t IS that of . young female Indian, who, as an emblem of the West is placed with great propriety as an :. l pisode in the picture. This figure. as a specimen of what the artist could ao, were he not restrained the uneracefnl male costume of modern days, is deserv. ing of peculiar attention; nevertheless the skill that has enabled him to give h. terest and spirit to every group On !the canvass, is by no means. less indicative of a powerful pencil. We doubt f there be any picture existing of any school, which tells its story better. it is said that MT. Heryieu is engaged in painting a full length portrait of the President. itis to be hoped so good an example may be followed by many, this being, in fact, the only effectual way of encouragingthe art. Formerly, the pat ronage of the church outweighed. hundred fold, all other; in our days church pictures are no longer in d.. mand; but if an historical painter meets. liberal encouragement in portraits, he will be enabled to soar in composition as high as his genius will carry him. without being checked by the most soul. subduing of all feelings, the fear of tbe wanting means ofsupport. The history of modern America probably furnishes more subjects for historical composition than any other country in the world: but the only mode to ensure their living on canvass, is to select those who are ea. Pahle of placing them there. as the art ist who shall minister 10 domestic aifec- tion, by giving heightened life to our own features. tt1tis, and thus only. nearly every citizen may cherish and forward the progress of art among eus. Historical pictures will be tl5e fnfallible result. FHnt's Western Monthly Re view for February, gives an interesting sketch of the life of MT. Heryieu and of the circumstances and motives wl1iclf l led him to choose America as his future country. Wesincerely joinin the wish of the author of this article, that his re. ception among us may be such as to Justify his choice.
 We have heard with pleasure that it is contemplated by the Congress. to pur- chase this noble picture to fill one of the vacantpannelsinthe Capitol. May noill. Judged economy check Sc laudable apur. pose. It would be pleasure to thinkthat before our venerable friend is nomore he should know that his arrival among ns stands recorded beside the most cher. ished events of our history.

 A letter addressed to MT. Carson. . representative in Congress from N.
