From the Scientific Americ an
Gold and Silver Glass,

A new method of manufacturing glass
has lately been discovered, which present:
the brilliant appearance Of highly polished
gold and silver This mode Of 'slveriny
glass Is new invention, which Is now be.
ing carried on by a company in London
Tne various articles are blown of two diff.
ferent tbicknesses of glass throughout, and
The silver is deposited upon the two n,eri-
or surfaces Of the double hollow glass YES.
sci, The silver is deposited from u solution
Of that metal by the reducing agency OF
saccharine solutions; in short, the process
is entirely chemical one. The double
hollow vessel is Theoretically sealed ana
thus the silver deposi, is protected from
wear and from atmospheric influences
The brilliant silver deposit being seen
through the colored glass, communicates
to that substance, in Il curiously Elusive
manner, the appearance of being entirely
composed of gold and silver itself. When
the glass is cut, the briiancy of the sill.
yer is heightened; and, on the other hand,
when the glass is ground, the effect of frost, j..
ed silver is produced. By staining, and
the employment of certain yellow glas-
es, the effect Of gold is produced, with
deep ami ruby glass, colored metallic lus-
tres equal in the effect to the plumagc
Thirds. are obtained. As every form into
which the glass can be blown is silvored
with facility, the extent 70 which this
beautiful invention can be carried is per.
fectly unlimited. The new process ex-
tends to flower vases, chimney ornaments,
and in fact, to every article usually made
of glass. For ornaments it presents all
the lus,rous bsillancy Of highly polished
gold and silver, at great reduction of cost,
and Tor initiating jewery and ilumina-
tons it will far surpass anything known.
In fact, the invention is at present quite in
its infancy, and promises soon to fill the
houses OF the middle classes, usually des-
ttute of brilliant ornaments, with cheap
articles presenting all the striking appear
ance Of costly plate,&c.

NATIONAL ACADEMY OF DESIGN
Tweniy-Finh Annual Exhibition.


We have already briefly noticed the festival
which preceded the opening Of this exhibition, and
at the same time We took occasion to say that as a
whole it was better than any among the more re-
cent of its annual predecessors perhaps, had we
seen many of them, we might have pronounced
this the best exhibition to which the Ac ademy has
ever invited the public attention We now pro-
pose to enter upon somewhat minute and very
careful and candid analysis, which We trust will not
be without decided utility.
1t is scarcely necessary to say to those who have
any real or intelligent interest in Art that such
end cannot be gained by the sort Of remark most
frequently applied by cotemporaries to this
and other exhibitions of pictures Art cannot thrive
under the dispensation of indiscriminate praise,
whether dictated by ignorance, bad taste or per-
sonal Partially Artists are not benefited nor the
public instructed by criticism, unless it breathe a
manly sincerity, and too earnest a sense of the
worth of Art to Judge its products by any low
standard. Especially is this the case in 4 comma
nifty like ours where Art is in its infancy, and the
mass even Of cultivated people have not had
the benefit Of that discipline which is derived from
frequent enjoyment Of great works, and familiarity
with indisputable excellence Here, in respect of
Art, all is in the process Of development; the work
Of education is at best not far advanced, and the
National Academy is, or should be, the great edu-
Gator. 1t ought then, to be held up to that mark,
and they who seek its welfare must not only exer-
else genial appreciation for what is good, but
uncompromising severity toward everything prom
inent in its productions that is not good. Undoubt
edy, the latter is not always pleasant the hon
est critic would much rather express his delight
at genuine Art, than pronounce condemnation upon
its opposite. And yet the harder Office Is often
much the more necessary. few pretenders,
who have succeeded in palming themselves oil
as men Of knowledge and genius, may do more
injury to Art and t. the publcssste than the works
and silent influence Of fty competent artists, who
have not vet been recognized at their real value,
can counteract.
IL is. we believe, no secret that the National
Academy has for a few years past been in a rapid
decline. which has proceeded so far to the
suspension oft schools, and seriously to threaten
its existence. One cause has been the opening
and great popularity Of the American Art Union.

Last night large frame stable, containing seven
horses, in Strikers Aley Moyamensing was de-

the stable perished in the flames. The rest were
rescued. The sufferers by the fire were Samuel
Thomas, James Carroll Patrick McKenna, John
Cassidy, and George Fitzpatrick. This the second
destructive fire which has occurred in that District
within two weeks, in consequence OF bat few Fire
Companies being at them. The city and other
District Companies refuse 10 go into District
where they are liable to be shot down like dogs,
aud the result is that when fire gets under head
