Qualities Noe. SIG and SIG are quite besuhfu. bat
very hammered.
Nos. AZ, "On the Saguenay" and 476, "The
Seven Falls, Canada" BY Mr. Gignoux have bis u,usl
qualities Of careful execution but are not in advance
of his previous works.
No. 1853. sketch by Mr. James 10 the only work
he has in the collection. He should have hsd some
thing more important for bis pictures have always the
essential feeling of artistic mind and in this respect
are individual, and would break agreeaby into the dry
detail which forms so great feature in the present
Exhibition.
No. 523, by M Nichols is the largest work We re-
member Of his, and shows a marked improvement
The ky is finely conceived and is painted witt con-
siderable power. There is al idea OF fine feeling in
his pictures which will always make them attractive
No 44O by Mr. Cranch, is also pervadcd by fine senti
ment Mr.. Talbot exhibits but one picture, which is
very good. but not quite equal 10 some of his former
works. No. 26j, by Mr.. Brown, is full Of his usual
characteristics. The pictures of J. H. and j. W. Hill
are remarkably faithful drawings and literal imitation,
Of natural objects but they ere cold and crude The
studies BY Mr.. Perkins have the same character.
In the department of animals and game. NJ, Hays
still carries off the laurel though followed hard by Mr.
Tat. However, We strongly suspect they both paint
dead game. The most imposing animal picture OF the
collection is No. 2jS. bull, by Mr.. yerboeehoven.
II il well drawn and painted to the life
OF sculpture, the best production is No. 3S2, by
Muller, electrotyped in silver. The action of the
figures is spirited and natural. The bust of lady by
Mozier is very bad. No. 1885, by Ellis, is very care
fully executed. No. $50 is also very credtab.e.
In our former notice we omitted to state that
Covering the Retreat" No &c., is the work of Mr..
Carter.

OVERLAND MAIL TO CALIFORNIA.

We Learn that the leading railroad men of New
England. New-York, Pennsylvania and Maryland, and
of the States lying to the west of them, are sending
petitions to the President praying that the Overland
Mail TO California shall be carried by route COM
mencng on the Mississippi River, at point which is
not only central to the nation but is easily reached by
travellers over their roads. The railroad men fear
that the spectators may succeed in causing the Over
land Mail route to be located to make it not only
useless TO them but absolutely injurious Many think
the Mail should start from Rock Island, go across
Iowa. up the Plains along the Platte River, through
the South Pass and by Salt Lake to California; but
all believe that it should not start from point south
of St. Louis as that city lies considerably south of the
central line of the population and business of the United

An CsGRArsFUL BIGGAR.-A woman who gave
her rame as Mary Jones was yesterday arrested by
Officer Demerest of the Fifteenth Ward, on sus-
picion Of having stolen silver plated caster
stand. with cut-gsss bottles, and eu-gass tumbler,
also table cover found in her possession Shestated
in explanation that the articles belonged to Mrs.
Richmond residing on the Bloomingdale Road who
had sent her to pledge them. Officer Demerest per-
ceiving the pane of Martin engraved on tho mustard
spoon discredited the woman's story, and caused her
to be temporarily locked up. He then referred to the
directory and ascertaned that Mr. Martin, doing
business in Wall street resided at No. ~ East Twelfth
street, from which direction the woman appeared to
have come when first seen by the policeman and on
making inquiry there learned that the accused had
called there to beg cold victuals, and while the
want had gone to the kitchen to get for her. the
woman contrived to help herself to the above-named
articles. She was therefore, committed to answer FOE
the offense.
