Banvard's Great Original Picture of the
Mississippi and Missouri rivers, still contin-
ues to be the most attractive exhibition of
London. Barnard is realizing q colossal
fortune. He recently received the COM
mands of Queen Victoria, to call at Buck
ingham Palace. He attended of course IN
sta"ter, and was there informed that it was
Her Ma estY's wish that he should transfer
his picture to Windsor Castle, wtera she
would do him the honor of inspecting it.
No sooner said thun done. He put it up in
the Banqueting Room, (calied st. Georges
Hall where he explained it to Her Males
ty. Prince Albert, the Queen Dowager, the
Prince Of Wales, and all the Royal Family
and Court. The Queen was highly delight.
ed with both the picture ana the artist, and
Prince Albert, who was alive with curiosi-
ty, asked Banvard great many questions,
and expressed himself much pleased with
his quaint humor. He gave two exhibi
lions ut the Palace. The Qeen was pres
ent much longer than she at first intended.
Barnard had promised to close the exhibi.
ton within an hour, (it commenced at six
"'ciork. M bnt he did not terminate it
until halfpast seven o'clock. The Roya,

hib'tion. Banvard received magnificent
present from the Queen. The ne It day his
rooms in Piccadilly were graced by fou. for
eign Princes. three foreign Princesses, the
Duchess of Kent, and other distinguished
personages. Barnard is opposed in Lon
don by set ofadventurers from this side of
the Atlantic, who have spurious imitation
OF his picture open to the public. They
have stated in their advertisements that his
picture is copy oftheirs, that the original
belonged to them and that it was burnt in
Boston. This cannot injure Barnard we
think, with the British public. Every body
here knows that his picture lie the original
and correct one of both the Mississippi and
the Missouri rivers. that it was exhibited in
this city for several months to crowds of ad-
mirers. and that its astonishing success has
been the origin OF q number Of similar ex-
hibitions all over the country. The rivals
of Barnard are legion. ii.
A DROP OF CoMFoRr.-A WASHINGTON
correspondent Of the Baltimore Sun writes:
1T is not probable that the Wing Admin

GINA election-and it has no doubt lost
some support. But the loss will be gain
to General Taylor and his Cabinet in ono
respcct-it will lessen the claims of Virgin
Ia politicians to Office, and reduce the pres

This negative consolation to the beaten
Iaylorites is like extracting sunbeams from
cucumbers. With all the prestige Of new
