may be seen for few days the prize given by the
Emperor of Russia for the Ascot races /; with the
Queens cup, and the Goodwood cup; all executed
| by Mr.. .Cotterill. The subject of the Emperor's
cup is Hppolytus-his horses terrified by the ma
| rine monsters Neptune sent for his destruction.
| The grouping of the hgures-the marine monsters
/ towering above-is symmetrical and ingenious the
horses are spirited and lifelike-the human figure is
| graceful. The subjects of the other designs are
! Spanish bull.fght and Sioux bson-hunt; excel
lent in arrangement and spirited in execution, es-

| Leslie has two pictures in the Royal Academy,
a scene from Henry the Eighth, the King unmask-

pety dresses and pre-arranged attitudes rather than
! nature and scene from Don Qiirsie--the Chap
lain leaving the Dukes table in rage, after falling
| to convict the knight of absurdity. The Duke,
who is shading mis- face with his hand, and enjoy
| ing the fun with geEtlemanly reserve, is among
| y
! different. Don Qulxote is not exalted and refined
enough; the Duchess expresses nothing particular:
the Chaplain is a cholerlc fat man, and is next TO
! the Duke the most lfesome Of the people but in
the book The Chaplain is nobody, and is not worth
being the most notable figure If picture, Here is
a carefully compiled and elaborate picture, caicu-

M. Keratry, the Provisional President of the

| Although belonging % a noble family Of Brittany,
| he warmly embraced the cause of the Revolution.
Elected Deputv in 1918, he ever since, both mem
Der of the Chamber and as editor of the Courier
Francois, energencally combatted the Government
Of the Restoration. He was one of the small mi
nority of whom Casmir said, 1--WE are only six

of State, and remained to the last of the most
| devoted friends of that Monarch.-London Times.
! patented machine has been put in operation at
Birmingham for making up letter envelopes. 1t is
calculated that if worked by manual labor, one man
and three or four boys would be able to turn out
from 10000 to $4,000 envelopes in day, the paper
being supplied to the machine ready cut. An ex-
pert workman can only make up 1900 envelopes
by hand In day.
A new species of firearms is coming into use in
| the Prussan service. The invention is described
by the Berlin correspondent of the Daily .Ne,cs-
| ''The greater part of the Prussian infantry are
armed with heavy long-barrelled musket, which
is loaded at the breech, and which they call Zund
nadeI-Gewehr. With this arm halfa-dozen shots
may be fired In the same time as one with COM
mon musket It kills as far, and carries with the
same precision, as a rifle as the recent practice at

Wrangel, proves. Military men here pretend that

German and Austrian news remains without ma
terlal alteration in its main features. The Frank
| fort Government still holds out bravely, and has
made decided effort to raise in behalf of its own
authority the peoples of Germany against the Co
| vernments; but with no omen of success. What
is going on in the Hungarian seat of war, nobody
here can tell the appearances are adverse TO the
Austrians and Russians. Meanwhile Kossuth has
done something, which, according to his friends in
this country, is not exactly the procaiming of a
republic" but more like setting up " common
wealth. nice distinction! 1t is all obscure con-
fused and highly mnacious to the House Of Haps-

The American papers tell of discord-continued,
perhaps increasing dIscord-in Canada; riotng, al
most revolutionary, In New York. The British
Canadians continue to be angry because Lord Egin
plays the part Of Governor; the Bowery boys
Of New York rebel against the authorities because
Mr. Macready has played the part of Macbeth.
In Canada, the dispute about the Rebellion In
demnity bill has been fading into oblivion but the
quarrel about Lord Elgin and his supposed lean
ing towards the French Canadians goes on, and
Lord Greys despatch, declining his resignation
and assuring him of continued support from home,
IS likely TO exasperate without overawing the con-
tumacious Britishers Ddactic dispatches from a
distance may well be despised, when a present con-
stabulary has been disarmed and the strength of a
present executive has been braved.
In New York, it is Natve-A mericanism invad-
ing the theatrical world, and prosecuting not Irish
settlers and voters, but an English actor. The
Americans suppose themselves 10 be retaliatng,
with more resolution and vigor, a persecution in
hicted on Mr.. Forrest by the English The Eng
lish condemned MIR. Forrest a bad actor, though
he IS a very fine man the Americans condemn Mr..
Macready because he is an Engllshman and rebel
against the aut critics because they spread over
the alien Roscus the egis OF the law. The Bowery
boys either think that actor ie 10 hold his Office
pesonator ofthe characters Of Shakespeare politi-
ca grounds, or else they give lhe preference Mr..
Forrest as a tragedian each luugrnt at being equally
surprising. In either case, they desired to have Mr.
ldanesdy glven up TO them thai he might be
. lynched and, failing in that request, they rise
against their own aristocraey." When the last
! accounts left New York, Mr. Macready had been
smu seled out Of the city in disguise and the pa
trouc Yankees were meeting ard passing resolu-
ton against their mayor and magistrates, in
terms of republican dignity that vie with tie Decla
! ration Of ndependence.-LOnd0n Spectator.
