suit OF five years labor, and the maker Of

giant enough TO give him lh.ee thousand dol

-i1e, resting on al elaboration of carving
and lions. The top exhibits seventeen pic
lures Of battles. sea-iiglts, cathedrals and
palaces, formed of thousands Of minute
pieces Of wood in,aid It is wonder Of
inlaying and of wasted pieces Of wood in
laid. 1t is wonder of inlay,ng and vast
ed labor, only to lie matched by those amaz-
ing quilts which some Of our country mat
rons misPend their years il sewing. The
vciled busls arc pleasing. One Of them in
particular is remarkably well done, and
looks exactly like a marble face covered
with thin gauze, drawn tightly over it in
neatly adjusted plaits. We cannot approve
Of those Italian statues in the hands OF which
metal objects are placed. Il does not please
the eye or satisfy the mind to see marble
boy fishing with silver ROD, OF marl,e
girl threading a steel needle, or marble
shepherd carrying a silver crock, or a mar
bic maiden looking at herself in glass mir
ror. It's trick, not art, 10 employ such
eXpediguts.
The English silver>miths display some cx-
quisite pieces. There is group in silver
OF Sir Roger de Coyerlv having his fortune
told by the gipsies, which It is impossible
not 10 admire. so well are the faces, fgures,
costumes and attitudes rendered. Another
group, the same metal, represents scene
from Don QuiXto. The Don, in armour,
with the dish on his head for helmet, sits
erect on Rozinante. listening TO the COM
inands of lady; while Sancho Parza, dis
mounted from his ass, knecls at her feet

In the same case is jockey driving Two
forty, in an American sulkey. Besides
these. ont similar works. the Londorers
make L superb display o. silver and plated
ware.
The Newfoundland department we. only
dlsinterred in part when we saw it last: but
it interested greatly those who happened to
discover il. The viSter can nose his way
TO the lobby where it is situated, as the re-
: gion round about smells as the Museum did,
: when tho Sea Lion was there. There is u
: collection Of stuffed seals, polar bears, and
other Northern creatures, OF great magn-
tude and powerful odour; ana besides these
a polar scene modelled in clay. This rep
