bition tonight prev ious TO the opening on Monday
In addition to the paintings already mentioned we
may add few more, which struck us on hasty
turn round the room.
In the large saloon we observed two portraits by
Sully-and Two large landscapes by Durand. There
is fancy sketch of " Gypsy Girl" by Sully, very
exquisite gem, tinty, warm, and fnll Of life There
is an Indian girl also warm and beautiful Cole has
also a very fine landscape of the Notch in the
While Mountains in Autumn-the hsecy mist rising
up its brows. The cooring is warm. Another
painting by Cole, which may be called the ArchI-
tects," displays talent and brilliant coloring
In the small saloon, there plenty of pot boilers
with few fine paintings. Here rockingham has a
fine head-but the gems are two by Edmonds and
two By Mount. One Of Edmond's represents the
"Two Bcaux." There three figures in the fore
grounds country beau IN n broad straw hat, With
locks the whskers put ia," and a dandy air from
Brosdway-and a belle, or young woman, between
them. Edmonds second piece match to the for
