ART MATTERS.
Antiques at Clinton Hall.

A collocatiOn OF rare antiquities was to be seen
yesterday at the Clinton Hall salesroom and will
remain on view during the week, the evenings OF
Thursday Friday and saturday, however, being ap-
piled to It's public disposal. They lately consttuteda Q
private cabinet owned by gentleman OF this city,
and collected in Europe during an experience Of
many years. They consist OF stone canoes and
intaglios, mounted and unmounted; miscellaneous
relics from churches ana converts, purchased I'm

ings on ivory and enamels on copper; coins,
bronzes and medals carvings in wood, engravngs,
shell canoes, sculpture In lava, coral and con-
chilia, mosaics, pottery and snufrboxes and water
color drawings and engravings on copper. =
The stone canoes and intaglios are prob
ably more numerous than those constituting
try. Traces of Etruscan workmanship are
visible In many that are scarcely less
than three thousand years old, and which
in this respect sustain comparison with
some OF the gems in the celebrated Cesnola disen-
tombments. or the one thousand engraved stones,
Persian, and many are OF the Medicl epoch
There are three hundred pieces OF jewery mostly
rings. About two thirds OF these are fine canoes
and intagos antique, medieval and modern, and
have been heavily mounted In eighteen carat solid
red gold. One-third of the rings re canoes and
chased during the suppression of the converts BY
Victor Emmanuel, include fine carvings In ivory,
PERIOD pictures in silk embroidery, old panel carv-
ings, holy water basins in enameled pottery, and
pre.Raphaellte paintings on canvas. % WOOD, ivory

dred oil paintings are mostly representa-
schools, and among an equal number Of ivory
miniatures are gems in the school OF Peru

We have heard the enamel watches described as
beautiful abnormalities and are scarcely disposed
to criticse the cpithet too severely. Two deserve
particuarization, one OF them being incl0sed In q
spherical eighteen carat gold case, and presenting
the enamel OF the last century; the other Is OF more
recent date, but encased with equal richness. The

The VIENNA MONEY CATAcLYsM- our
special cable despatch from London it will
be seen that panics and financial trouble
are not confined to Wall street The panic,
which occurred at Vienna on Saturday, just
at the time of the opening of the grand Exhi-
bition, must have been no ordinary one, for
the excitement created involved Rothschild in
personal danger and forced the government to
come to the rescue. And now we hear that
the government finds it necessary to go even
further than issuing moro money or making
loan. 1t proposes to modify the Bank act,
with view of relieving the stock market. We
have not received the details concerning this
panic, and are curious to know if the building
of the grand temple Of industry for the Expo
sition had anything to do with it. Whatever
may have been the cause or causes, it is evil
dent that Wall street is not the only place in
the world where stockiobbing, extravagant
stock speculations and panics occur. Human
nature, and particularly that phase of it con-
.nected with stock exchanges at New
York, London, the Bourse of Paris or at
vienna-is the same. Our bulls and bears
NAV console themselves with the knowledge
that with all the odium attached to them there
are animals of the same kind in the financial
metropolitan centres of Europe.

Sweden.
Our special dispatches from Stockholm bring
us the story of the coronation of Oscar H. as
King of Sweden. The grandson of the French
man Bernadotte, as the able, intriguing man
who was afterwards Charles XIV. of Sweden
is best known, is King of the entire Scandina-
Wan peninsula. He succeeded his brother,
Charles XIV, who died in last October, but,
in addition to the ceremonial described else
where, has yet to submit to similar process
in Norway next July The time of Sweden's
active influence on the affairs of Europe has
apparently passed by; but the hardy race
that it nourishes should never be over
looked by those who read history through
the peoples as well as the kings.
The tendency Of the present age, in spite of
racial hates and imperial ambitions, is to turn
the efforts of men towards their own homes.
The world has had Alexanders, Charlemagnes
and Napoleons enough. The periods marked
by each were eminently those of transit
tions. The empires which Alexander
and Charlemagre put together with such
force and in such haste were too great for
their successors, and the process of falling to
pieces under the generals of the one and the
weak successors of the other only showed
that they were before their time. Napoleon
Bonaparte differed from the others in that
he saw his conquests melt away before
himself. The doctrines of the Republic
under whose wing he rose to fame were too
crude and too bold for the acceptance of king
ridden Europe His recognition of this fact,
and his swift employment of the forces of the
revolution against itself, mark him as
wonderful phenomenon but the fifty odd
years since Waterloo have shown how little
even so brilliant q man could do to
stem the tide of opinion that makes or un-
makes governments. The Little Corporal"
it is true lett an indelible stamp upon the
worlds history. Pebeian as he was, he built
up thrones in a day that perished in the night,
while the old feudal world looked on in fear
and wonder. But he will be regarded, when
the philosophy of this age is written as one
who, finding the temptations to absolute power
too great, tried Intellectually to compromise
Win Tue oiu hihbiy tuer He nau uSpiAceu.
Naples, Spain, the Netherlands, his phantom
kingdoms, have disappeared as SUCH France,
that he held enthralled, is to-day Republic,
as Napoleon found her. Only in the old
Scandinavian Kingdom of the North does q
substance of what now seems the Napoleonic
phantasm remain. The people who crowned
Oscar II. King Of Sweden yesterday have
taken the family of the French Marshal to
their hearts, and, as the latter have become so
thoroughly naturalized to their new country as
to strike at need against that from which they
sprung, nothing seems necessary to conse-
crate the union.

Europe, the Kingdom of Sweden and Nor
way has ample time to devote its energies to
the cultivation of its own industries. The
prudent and passably wise family that now
rule there are limited within close constitu-
tonal bounds, and the utilitarianism of the two
peoples can be traced in no better way than
in their long Parliamentary debates as to
whether it was necessary to spend money on the
ceremony of crowning king at oil. They
appeared to be tolerably well satisfied with
their King. That he was their monarch they
were ready to admit; but it required good
deal of soft speeches and appeals to glorious
tradition before the Swedish Parliament
could see the necessity of providing the
necessary number of rix-thalers for the
coronation ceremonies. This is instruc-
tive. The country that threw off the
Danish yoke under the lead of Gustavus Vasa
has come down to the consideration of what
royalty Of imported or home manufacture may
cost, and that it has allowed little extra
expenditure this time after some grumbling
may indicate what its temper will be with
the next king who wants to be crowned.
The energy of the Scandinavian peoples has
left its mark on history. They produced
Gustavus Adolphus and Charles XII. The
former may have been an ambitious religious
enthusiast, and the latter may have justified
Lord Byron's coupling him with Macedonia s
madman;" but the feats of both show what
wild dreams in hardy, fearless natures can be
nursed among those peoples Of the north. We
are rejoiced to think that now those peoples
have the ways of peace before them,
but in their sturdy manhood it is well to re-
member what changes they wrought in Eu-
rope through the ways Of war in the centuries
past. From the present and the past we may
learn, if not the future Of the scandinavian
peoples, at least what possibilities for the un-
born time they have within themselves

Rubfnstein's Piano Recltals.


Yesterday afternoon, at Steinway Hall, before
very large audience-prncipally composed OF
ladles-the great Russian pianist commenced Q
series of farewell recials of such gigantic char
acter as regards the multiplicity and variety Of
the selections that he seems determined to leave
the impress Of his genius on the memory OF the.
American public in impershable lines. For
two hours the wonderful virtuoso brought
the audience back to the days OF Bach,
Handel, Scarlatti and Mozart, and held them by
the vividness Of his ustrati2gs until the close Of
performance which, in less experienced hands,
would prove intolerable. First came shoal Of
preludes and fugues from lie Clavecin bien
tempere," and for time 1t seemed as II
he would 90 through the entire forty-eigh MT num-
bers Of the series. Next followed lively gigue,'
and the famous chromatic fantasia, the bugbear OF
many an eminent performer. Passing from the
works Of the great Bach to those 2l MS s scarcely
gave rOndO by the latter, VINO first conceived the
idea of making the harpschord sing. Then the
writer. Handel's air and variations in D minor,
gigue and air and variations in major, gave an
% the @ Hs q Gns TnU was a. as the
organ. Old Father Haydn was represented by q
delightful "Andante" with variations. Then came
harpsich0rd D0menicO Scarlatt, the man who first
broke through old established rules to produce new
represented rep @ scaratti. Mozart closed the honored
line OF old masters with fantasia in minor,
q gigue, q rondo, and an oriental waif from the
A major sonata. With the immortal composer Of
.Don Giovanni piano music assumed q new form,
and the fertility of his genius was shown no less in
this direction than in his orchestral and vocal
works. At the second recital, which takes place
Wednesday afternoon, RuDinsten will play SIX
sonatas by Beethoven. Schubert, Weber and Men,
delssohn win be illustrated on Friday afternoon,
and in the evening" at Mile. Liebhardt's benent,
Scnumann's "Andante" and variations, for two
