VANITY Fair are executed with great spirit anu
a breadth of effect quite above the reach Of ordi'
nary panoramic landscape. Mr. Kyle, in the val
lev of the Shadow Death and the Land Of
Beulah," gives evidence OF fine poetic imaglna-
ton. The entire work has been highly praised
by the artists Of our City, who have passed reso-
buttons testfyng to its superior artistic character
BUILDING AssocIATIoNs-We have received
a Prospectus of the MANHArTAN BUILDING Asso'
CATION, now organising in this City. The oene-
fits resulting from such associations are very
clearly act FORTH and should attr ct the attention
of our mechanics and men Of limited means who
wish TO become the owners Of the dwellings
which they occupy. A company Of individuals,
BY small weekly or monthly contributions create
fund to enable each member to build or pur'
chase for himself a freehold residence; thus, IN
place Of paying enormous rents, he pays into the
fund of the association hs subscriptions, thereby
possessing himself of home, free from all IN
cumbrances, and without having been at any
perceptible outlay.
Norestrictions are placed by the Association up
on it's members, either regards the selection OF
the locality, style Of building, or otherwise the
only requiIition the Society enforce 49, thar tue
value OF the buildings erected shall not Dc less
than the value Of the shares held by the men,
bers Surprising the shares to be $500, each mem
Der shall pay an entrance fee Of ST. and subscrip
ton Of per month on each share held by him, and
as often as the funds amount TO $500, lone share
such share is to be sold at the next meeting OF
the Association, and the member offering the
highest premium is entitled to the privilege
employing that amount, either in purchasing or
building for himself house, which he mortgages
to the Society to secure due payment OF his sub
scriptions and interest. The premiums and in
terest received from shares advancedto the mem
bers are added to the generalfund, and distributed
in the same manner. When the shares have ar
rived at the value OF $500 each, the Society vii
terminate, and the members who have built hare
their property free and clear; and those who have
paid their subscriptions and not built ic'H receUe
$500 on each share held By thtm
THE SCHOONER CHARLES A. srETsoS.-This
beautiful vessel of 100 tuns burden, is now lying
at the foot of Beekman.st. She was built by
Nj g. n. Baldwin, Of Fsirhaven, Conn, aud is
owned by Mesns III. Rogers & Co. and Capt
Oliver w. Miller, who ia. to command her She
is bound to the Worlds Fair, via the Bahamas
where she will take in load of pine apples and
green turtles for London.
DoDGEs CoNcERT.-A large crowd went to
Triper Hall last night to be Dodged. The spa
cous ediice was crowded. about 1900 persons
having come on from Boston with excursion tick
cts Dodge was well received when he came
out: his sharp, queer features reminded the au-
dience OF the Artful Dodger, though in the mag
nifcent extent of his undertakings he more near
" resembles the Dodges OF Venice. We could
not bear his sentimental songs with sufficient dis
tinctness to Judge Of their character. The deS
criptive pieces were mostly poyphonic. SAxes
prize song was a smart production, as everything
is which comes from Saxes pen to our thinking
it was the best thing Of the evening. The audi
ence was rather FESTIVE toward the last whence
we infer that the entertainment would be better
suited to narrower ATTITUDES
F THE HUTCHINSON FAMILY closed their
series Of in this vicinity al Newark, last
Friday evening, and on Saturday they passed
through this city to their country homes. Their
,S.t FIVE or six concerts in this city, Brooklyn,
Willarsburgh, and Newark were most success
full and triumphant, and gave even higher salts
faction to their auditors than many OF their en-.
tertair ments of former years. We are glad they
haze been here, that our people could judge for
themselves Of their real merits. The brother
IudsoD) who has been reported insane, land who
for time was quite ill., has recovered even more
than his usual health and spirits, and gives the
utmost delight, both by his speeches and songs.
The blessings Of thousands will 90 with them,
and may abundant success ever attend them
wherever they so.
TIE ALLEeHANIANs.-Th company give an
entertainment at Newark this evening. As
quartette they are probably not exceled in this
country and our Newark friends should not fail
TO embrace this opportunity TO hear them. They
have given nearly thirty Concerts 10 this City,
snd though the weather was frequently inclem
ent we believe they always had good audiences
and never failed to give entire satisfaction Miss
Goodenow sings "Ben Bolt most sweesly, and
several OF her songs became so popular with the
audiences that they were called for almost nightly
NrBLo's-The RoUssLT sisters are again per
forming at Niblo's and seem to have lost nothing
in the public favor during their absence, Tor the
house is nightly filed to excess CARoLINE Is as
spiritual and bewtcbing as ever, and her sisters
sustain their parts with modest grace that Will
be certain to make great favortes with the lovers
Of the TerpsichOrean Art.
