pursued by the Confederate agents in Eng

ject. He regretted that the Alabama was not
detained, and contended that all such vessels
should be prohibited from entering British

WRECK OF THE BoHEMIAN.-Mr. II. b.
Brown has just finished an admirable painting
Of the wreck Of the Bohemian as it appeared
during the height of the late storm. A sin
gle mast is represented as still standing, and
a portion OF the stern as above WATERFALL
else seward is a waste Of surf and billow.
The dripping rocks at Staples's cove, with the
confused heaps of the merchandise that has
come ashore, and the eager crowd of specta-
tors with their apparel fluttenng in the wind,
constitute the other portions of the picture.
The driving rainy clouds, the flying spray and
dashing breakers, are SO true TO nature as to
make one almost criDge as with the purpose
of avoiding them.
The painting may be seen at the artists
studio, Free street, to which all lovers of art
are always welcomed.

sold, and showing samples of them. The
bidding was very spirited. Many parties
