ART NoTEs.-A fine painting of Pleasant
Cove, by Harry Brown, adorns Hale's window.
The picture is marked by the softness of color
finish of detail and unity of effect, which are
attributes of former paintings by the same
brush. The long wedge-shaped rock, moss-car-
peted, which juts out into the water is excel
lently managed, and the group of pleasure
seekers upon It, clad in bright colors, have an
admirable effect, while the brown boats off the
beach give the needed sombre touch. The
painting has been sold to gentleman of this
city.
There is also on exhibition in the same win
dow an oil portrait of the late Rev. N. w. T..
Root. 1t represents him as he was in early
manhood, and will be scarcely recognized by
our citizens as a likeness of the genial Rector
of St. Pauls. A Gypsey girl, by Mrs. Murray,
and an excellent photograph of Representative
w, w. Thomas, Jr., of this city, are also to be
seen.
ELEAzER M'KENNEY.-Our community will

MKenney, which occurred at his residence on
Spring street about five o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon. The event was not unexpected, as
the disease under which he labored was at his
advanced age necessarily fatal. Mr.. M'Kenney
was one of our oldest and most respected mer-
chants. For years he kept grocery store on
Congress, near the head of Green street, which
was a noted resort for the best checker players
in the city. He afterwards went into the
wholesale -four business and at the time of his
death was a member of the firm of Alden &
MKenney. In 1858 and 1859 he was member
of the Board of Aldermen, and for many years
has been director Of the Traders Bank. He
was noted for his probity and the sterling quail
tiles of his character. Mr.. M'Kenney way II

NEW YORK, May 14.-[Special to New York
Herald: THE battle at Puente De Eoaul, near
portant yet fought, and was complete victory
for Dorregaray -Four days previously the Car
list troops were surprised at Pena Cerrada by a
government column and retreated with the
greatest precipitation towards the mountains
Other government forces cooperating Joined in
the pursuit. These five columns. encouraged
by the fight, pursued them with such energy
that Dorregaray in sixty honrs marched his
men forty-eight miles. On the forth day the
CarllStS troops were completely broken down
but the government troops were distanced ex-
cepting only one column under Col. Novara,
composed OF regular troops with battery of ar
tlllery. Dorregarry continued to turn sudden
ly, probably to deliver blow to cripple this
force. de consequently found line of battle
at Puenta Erault He had almost 5000 men in
the position, The government troops on com
ing up occupied the high ground which gave
the artillery command of thesCarlist position
and the sweep of the ground between. The
Carlists had no artillery. At three o'clock in
the afternoon the government troops advanced
handsomely supported by fire from their bat
terry, which, although not very destructive,
made the Carlists, who have exaggerated re-
spect for cannon, very easy even while doing
little harm. When the battle ragged at this
point, Elio who overlapeded the government
right, made his way throughout the Chapparal,
thus getting well on the flank of the government
force. In the front Lizarraga peppered away
to some purpose, keeping his men mostly under
cover. The fight continued on these terms for
soldiers CARRYING the dead and wounded Carlists
