RATES ON ROCK RIVER.

The rates on the Mississippi, as any re-
asonable man will admit, are too high, and
are oppressive upon the public. 1t is no
argument against reducing the rates, to say
that the poor theirs of John Wilson, do
not always exact them. They can exact
them, If they choose-andf if they do not, it
Is because they either know they are un-
reasonable, or because they wish to place
persons under obligations to them for not

reduced, but what right have the publ;c To

THE FRENCH ETCHING CLUB.-The pictures,
the contributions of artists of the French Etch-
ing Club now on exhibition at the Birch Gal
leTy, No lilo Chestnut street, will be sold on
Friday evening, March %, at 713 o'clock. The
Secretary of the Club, Mr.. l.. Luce, will give any
information that visitors may require as TO the
prices OF the various pictures, where they are
placed, etc. The catalogue embraces some
ninety-three specimens of the finest works of
art that have been offered to the Philadelphia
public. Most of the contributors are pupils of
eminent artists and in some cases the great
artists themselves are represented by beautiful
specimens of their workmanship. Among them
we may mention the name of Gustave Dore,
CheValier Of the Legion of Honor, the great
delineator of the human countenance. He
presents specimen entitled "Christus Insulted
by Soldiers brief description of which would
perhaps not be amiss here. 1t represents Christ
sitting down, with a crown of thOrns upon His
head, and the blood trickling down His face
One of the soldiers is represented in a kneeling
posture, as If in mockery at the patient suffer
ing of our Saviour in His trial The great
characteristic OF the picture is the expression
OF the countenances, which are, TO use the
remark OF bystander, "as natural as life."
The Gallery is we'll worth visit, and those
who are desirous OF adorning their parlors with
masterpieces could not do better than purchase
few OF those offered 1T the time Of sale.
