Sale Of Mr.. Oldneld's G sIIcry Of Paint
fngs.

The sale ofthe immense gallery Of paintings Of
Granville s. 0ldfeld, ESQ, on the 18th Of May,
win attract to Baltimore connoissseurs from all
parts Of the United States, as well as Europe.
Letters have been received from lovers of the
fne arts In England and other portions Of Europe,
announcing their intention to sail from Liverpool
in the steamer Of the latter part OF this month"; and
an agent from the National Gallery Of England,
is also understood has been appointed 10 attend
the sale -tF.E
Although this gallery Of paintings has been col
lected In our midst for forty years, vvp... -;-ar
few of our citizens have any idea Of Its extent and
magnifcence. A few days since, in company with
several gentlemen Of the press, we accepted an
invitation OF Mr.. Old6eld 10 view the collection,
which embraces six hundred and fity-eight paint
ings, all works of real merit and many OF great
va1uc, and We must acknowledge that they Far sur
passed our most sanguine expectations
A gentleman ofundoubted taste and judgment,
who had just returned from Europe, mentioned
"his having visited most Of the celebrated gale
es, both public and private, there, that OF course
as TO cost, the collection Of Mr.. 0ld6eld would not
equal them but In pictures Of undoubted taste, at
all times pleasing and interesting he had seen no
gallery that would compare with them"
A considerable number Of these paintings are
originals Of the most eminent artists, whilst there
are also many copies Of the finest pieces of the old
masters from the national gallery Of England, paint
ed for the owner by distinguished European paint
ers. They are said TO be exact copies Of originals
which money could not purchase, and consequent
ly Of great value. In the whole collection there
Is scarcely one that will not bear the test OF crit
cism, and, as their superiority Is generally known
among connoisseurs, the sale cannot fail 10 be an
event Of some note in our city. As TO the original
cost Of these paintings, Mr.. 0ldfed can make no
correct estsate involving in their collection sew
eral tours Of Europe, but he thinks that the
amount cannot have fallen short Of seventy thou
sand dollars,
Printed catalogues, descriptive Of each OF the
65s pieces, have been sent 10 all parts Of the Uni
ted States and Europe, and the sale has also beer
very extensively advertised. Mr.. 0ldfelds latt
residence on Mount Vernon Place, near st. Psur'
street, In which the paintings are all displayed, oc
cupying the entire interior walls OF the building
viii, we learn, be thrown open from the lst &c
the 12th OF May, for the purpose of afording Al
opportunity for those desirous of purchasing e
view them al their leisure. They viii then be re
moved to Carroll Hall, where the sale viii com
mence on the 10Th, and will Of course occupy sey
eral days.--Bah American.

How TO Cook RlcE.--There is no more healthy
food, particularly al q season when bowel com
plants are prevalent than rice, that b, when pro
perly cooked. We regret to say not ono cook in
ten can perform the simple operation of boiling
rice soak the rice hour or two previously, and
then boil until IL absotbs all the water, which will
be about eight or ten minutes, and II Is done. II
the boiling Is continued longer, IL becomes like
paste--clansmy and indgestibIe.

PRoscRIBING ANERIcASs-Mr. A. N. Wakefield,
who has filed the Office of postmaster at Laurens,
0tsego county, has been turned out, because he is
suspected Of holding 10 the doctrine that Ameri.
cans should rule America Wings Of the Hughes
and Seward stamp bore conspicuous part in pro.
curing the dismissal OF Mr.. Wakefield. In their
eyes, TO hold American sentiments Is heresy; and
to bow to the Pope or his bishop patriotism. Thus
Is there question presented, which the people
only await an opportunity to try out.
