THURSDAY, MAY 5, 1864 The Academy , of the Fine Arts It was the general supposition that this year the exhibition would prove to be inferior, because of the rivalry of the great picture gallery of the Central Fair ; but we are glad to find that the Academy has not suffered, though many owners of fine paintings may have reserved their contributions. The collec tion is large and valuable. Almost all our Own ar tists are well represented, and though the foreign pictures are not many, they are good. All the gal leries are rich in interest, and through those " win dows in the wall" one can look into green depths of midsummer forests far over pallid wastes of Arc tie snow, or perilous seas in fairy lands forlorn, and suddenly turn from fantastic impossfide landscapes, wherein Truth is crucified on every tree; to scones in which Ileauty is made more beautifallthan she is. As usual, Mr. Hamilton has-no rival in the realm of imaginative art. Years ago ho entered alone into a land of unfamiliar loveliness, over which he is sole and absolute monarch, and wherein he constantly abides. It is one Of the highest qualities of his ge-: Mae that it reveals. A few men may paint as well as he the reality which all men perceive; but no American artist equals him in the power to-make the ideal Visible. It is a profound pleasure to all who benne that Art has a higher object than that of transcription to see the walls of the AcadOncs" illumined by the Inter light in whicli his brush is dipped, to find the highest beauty wedded with truth, anpl tq escape, by the help of his magic forms and colors, out of those frequently delightful landscapes with cattle" into a domain of wild and melancholy magnificence. We are not sneering at landscape portraiture, for, as there are faces which need no added charm to give them angelic beauty, (your own, fair reader, is doubtless one,) there are landscapes which seem to have escaped the curse pronounced upon the world, and even of imitations of ordinary woods, and streams, and skies, we 're cognize the beauty and admire the skill. But though a great artist may do no more than follow Nature where she leads him, the greater is he who does not depend upon a glorious model - for a glori ous picture, but shapes into new combinations grand elements of effect, and, obtaining from nature the suggestion of unusual beauty, develops it himself into peifeetion. It is Mr. Hamilton's merit that he possesses the power to do in color'and 'form what Shelley, and Keats, and Pop, hare done in words. He places beauty on the pedestal of truth ; he can paint prose, but he prefers to paint poetry; he ma nor paint a barren commonplace, and, though we have seen bad pictures from his easel (of late years they have been very few), we have not soon one that was not redeemed by at least a touch of superiority. Among the fifteen paintings in the present exhibition, including quiet moonlights, Arctic deserts, stonily seas, and volcanic fires, it is impossible to find one which does not show the power of the master, and would not, alone, almost justify the great reputation he has won. liChafiOtteCuShinan, a lady not only great in her own art, but great in the appreciation of all art, said that although she had visited every studio of note from Rome to London, nowhere had she'seen finer and more original effects, or more variety of power, than in that of Mr. Hamilton. We are willing to believe it, for, though his style is so decided that It is Im possible not to know at once his, pictureS, there is no style less monotonous. All sunsets arecalike, yet all ore different. Inexhaustible as mustbo the imagi nation which is perpetually revealing:new beauty, only constant study of nature could have given Mr. Hamilton his wonderful variety of subject. It is only- by continually drawing fresh truth Troin nature that imagination is nourished, and the reality of his works is the basis of their excel lence. Judging simply from the surprising fresh ness Of his pictures, singular in an artist who has Wrought unceasingly for at least fifteen years, we think that Mr. Hamilton, who might assume the position of a master, must be yet one of the most faithful and earnest of students. Young artists may profit by the lesson, for too many of them, having produced one or two good pictures, seem to be satisfied with their attainments, and content themselves with diluting their successes till they are converted into failures. Put study is indispensable to make an artist, and study alone call keep even a goodlartist from degenerating into something worse than a novice. After all, an early success is often a misfortune, because, instead of being understood as an encouragement, it is accepted as a finality. Nothing is more melancholy than the delusion of the indolent rower who, because he is motionless in his boat, does not reflect that it is drifting back with the tide. The contributions Mr. Hamilton has made to the exhibition will show what studycan do for one whom it might be thought would be now able to dis pense ;With it. The greatest of these pictur'es is the "Last Days of Pompeii. ,, It is a successful attempt to express an untisual phenomenon one of those difficulties which Mist be mastered by a strong imagination. We, who have never seen a Vesuvian eruption, have at least read enough of those mountains which darken the day with smoke and kindle the night with flames, and bury great cities in torrents of fire, to be sure thisideture Is not an exaggeration. It is more likely to be inferior to the reality. But who can fail to recognize it as true I ,Sothe great mountain must have - been dinlly seen through the blackness by the people who fled throUgh the streets of Pompeii eighteen hundred years ago, So the, city must have been enveloped in whirling clouds, illumined with volcanic splendors, and destroyed by vast showers of ashes and immense stones from above and convulsions of the earth below. It is sup posed that Pompeii was not consumed by molten lava, but rather buried under a mass of cinders. Mr. Hamilton has been faithful to the accounts of the historian, and the generally accepted:theory of the great tragedy. He has observed all the proba .bilitics, arid then given his Imagination play. None of his works this year are more , carefully wrought. The entire effect is original and astbnish ing. The artist seems to have followed very closely the description given by Bulwer in the closing chap ters Of his novel, and we find - in the vast throng at the foot ol•the column of Augustus figures that evi dently are. those of Arbaces, Glrbucus, and lone. But the whirl of the skies, the grand architectural forms, the color, the inspiration, give the picture far more than an illustrative value. Of Mr. Hamilton's other works we cannot at pre sent speak. He has not painted many pictures morif beautiful than that entitled "On the Coast of Wales" (87), nor anything finer in its way than the delicious "Autumn Landscape," (29.) In the northwest gallery is a charming marine (178) ,which by this time, no doubt, is familiar to the apprecia tive- public. Turning from that .delightful sunset to "The laSt of the Wreck (49), or to "The Moon light at Sea (a 4), we find how faithfully and with what sympathy the artist deals with ocean in all its moods. WASIM:c4ToI AND LAPAvETTE.—There was Painted, in 1859, by T. P. Rossiter and L. R. Mig not, a national picture, commemorative of the visit of Lafayette to Mount Vernon, after the Revolu tion was ended by the thirteen United Colonies be coming the United States. Washington resigned his commission, at Christmas, 1783, and returned to Mount Vernon, there, his great military labors ended, to return to his position as private gentle man. In February, 1784, he invited Lafayette; his younger brother-in-arms, to visit him in his domes tie walks at Mount 'Vernon. In the folloWing August, Lafayette spent a fortnight -with Wash ington, as invited, and the picture seizes a • ino. ment which must have occurred there and then. Washington and young guest, having risen from their scats underthe ample portico, are conversing— Probably upon public topics, for Lafayette has a newspaper in his hand. Mrs. Washington is sew ing, anti Mrs. Stuart "(formerly Mrs. J. P. Curtis), her daughter-in-law, is reading a_ note. Elerstor Parke' Curtis leans upon Mrs. Wa..shington's and her brother, George Washington Parke Curtis, also a child, fires a smell cannon, assisted by a ne gross, who blows the snatch, and two dogs. There are other figures, but these arc the most prominent. The Potomac - is in the distance. The localities of the scene were all drawn on.the spot, by Mr. Mig not. Washington's age, at the time, was 52, his wife was 51, Mrs. Stuart wits 28, and Lafayette was only 27. 'Washington's head was painted from the Houdon bust and picture. The painting which we dent/be was placed by its authors in the hands of one of the best London artists, Mr. T. 0. Barlow, who engraved "The Huguenots,” by Mil lais, and, after years of labor, has now completed it. The only copy in this city, a proof before letters, may be seen at the residence of Mrs. Nevins., 1924 Spruce street. This lady, who is so well known and . so highly esteemed in this city as an admirable vocalist, is receiving subscriptions for the en graving, in various styles, and has already been very successful. In fast, this is one of the very best of our national pictures. The size for framing 15 35 by 253.' inches, and its publisher is Mr. John MCClure; of New York. OBlTl7;NRY.—Williamsidney Thayer, the United. States Consul General to Egypt, whose death on AprirlOth, at Alexandria, has been announced, was born at Haverhill, Massachusetts, in 1830, and gra duated at Harvard in 1860. He joined the editorial stall of the New York Evening Post about twelve years since, and subsequently accompanied Colonel Kinney on MS expedition to Nicaragua, in which he took a prominent part. On his return he became associate editor of the Post. Leaving that journal early in 1861, he wits appointed Consul General of Egypt by Mr. Seward, and left for the scene of his duties in May of that year. His health, which had become - much impaired, improved for a time, but he was several times compelled to visit the north of Europe to recuperate. Thayer was well known to the leading men of this country as an able and con scientious journalist, possessing many and varied acquirement:, and a man of tact and ability in his diplomatic office. REMARRARIE PRESERVATION OP .THE DEAD.— Mr. "White, a Chelsea undertaker, made a disinter meet, a few weeks sines, of the boity of Mrs. Estes, who had been Interred in the Garden Cemetery in Chelsea for near sixteen years, for the purpose of removing the remains to Plymouth, when he found the bodyin %most remarkable state of preservation. The coffin was decayed away, and the head of the body was almost entirely gone, but from the shoul ders to the feet it had not in the least mouldered in the rave by its long interment. The body was purely white and solid as marble. MARRIAGE OF COLOREO PERSONS IN NEW OR. LEANS.—A New Orleans correspondent writes as follows: "Gen. Bowen, Provost Marshal General, has just issued an order that all colored persons in the Department who are or have been living to gether without :authority, must now be married and receive a marriage certificate from the Provost Matk shal of the parish, This order has been the occasion of numerous jollifications among the negroes, who are henceforth to K+UlethitlV 1110179 than cattle."

MA - xi - sum - Ws PalmyEr.r..—The Emperor Maxi milian, before embarking for Mexico, addressed the following letter to 11L Porenta, Mayoref Trieste 44 MtnAuArt, April 12, 1804.--In placing - myself, full of confidence in the aid of Heaven, at thehead of a distant emnire. I cannot refrain from addressing a last and mournful farewell to the dear and beauti ful city of Trieste:4: kftve always entertained a serious affection for that place, which has become, in a. certain manner, my native town, and I feel, in leaving Europe, how strong are the grateful remem brances which bind me to it. I shall-never forget the cordial mutability of its inhabitants, nor the proofs of attachment which the people of Trieste have given to my person and to my house. That remembrance will follow me abroad as a friendly consolation and a happy augury for the future. I shall always be pleased to learn that my gardens at Miramar are visited by the inhabitants of Trieste, and I desire that they shall remain open every day, so long as circumstances permit. In order that the poor &all preserve a token of my affection, I have invested a into of 20,000 florins (50,000 francs), so that the inte rest may be distributed annually on Christmas eve, by the municipality, among the poor families of the city. As for myself, Monsieur Porenta, I confer on you the cross of Commander in the order of my em pire. MAXIMILIAN. Cause of the Plymouth Disaster. [From the Cincinnati Gazette.] As long ago as April 17, LSO, Admiral Lee urged General Foster to abandon many of the detached posts in North Carolina and concentrate his forces. 'ln August, of the same year, he urged General Fos ter to destroy the rebel ram then building at Ed mond's Ferry, on Roanoke river, by detaching a .small party of cavalry for that purpose from the main column, then engaged in a joint expedition ußthe Chowan river. In September, Secretary Welles brought the mat ter again to the attention of the military authori ties, urging that either the ram should be destroyed or vessels sunk to prevent its exit. and representing that there was not water enoualt to enable naval vessels to ascend the river, and destroy the ram; that the wooden vessels could make no head against it, should it come out, and that the small iron-clads would not be finishedl for some months. And, in November, General Butler was vainly urged by Ad miral Lee to sink vessels above Plymouth... All but one of these small iron-clads—twenty in number— the presence of which would have prevented the disaster at Plymouth, were promised by the con tractors last hill or winter, most of them in Sep tember. The Red River Campaign. [From the Memphis Argus, April 24.] Up to 12 o'clock last night nothing later than has heretofore been published in the Argus had arrived, relative to Gen. Banks , Trans-Mississippi campaign. On the llth—after the fighting already detailed— the entire army was at Grand Ecore, on Red river, where fortifications were being thrown up. Grand Ecore, if we mistake not; is about thirty miles from the scene of the first battle, and the presence of the army at that point shows a return to the former base of operations, the army having left Grand Ecore, by the Shreveport road, on the - 6th: The first battle Was fought on the Bth, and the return to Grand Ecore was completed on the 11th, the rebels having been beaten nearly midway between Natchitoches and Shreveport, at Pleasant Mill, on the 9th. There can be little doubt that the whole affair has been greatly magnified and distorted, and that, when the truth is really known, the now-reported " , disaster" to General Banks will be much shorn Of the propor tions with which it has been invested by correspond ents of Northern journals, who have taken the af fair at first blush, from soldiers and others returning from Red river. Such, at least, is tronOrally the re sult of a cool collection of facts ; and if it prove not so in this case, it will be the first time since the war that the rule has not prevailed. A day or two, at farthest, will bring out the truth. THE REBEL (3 - I.:Xt.:I:AL PORREST.—The Forrests, one of whom has become more than infamous by his cowardly massacre of black and white prisoners at Fort Pillow, were all negro traders before the war. There were four brothers—Bedford, who kept a negro-pen for five years before the war, on Adams, street, in rear of the Episcopal Church, Memphis John, a cripple and a,garubler, who was jailor and clerk for Bedford ; Bill Forrest, an extensive negro trader at Vicksburtr ; and Arron Forrest, general agent to scour the country for his other brothers. They accumulated large sums of money in their ne farious trade, and Bedford won by that and other. influences a natural promotion to a brigadier. in the woman-whipping . , baby-stealing, rebelCuntede racy. He is about fifty years of age, tall, gaunt, and sallow-visaged, with it long nose, deep set, black, snaky eyes, full black beard without a mustache, and hair worn long. He was accounted mean, vindictive, cruel, and unscrupulous. The slave-pen of old Bedford Forrest, on Adams street, was a perfect horror to an negroes tar and near. His mode of punishing refractory slaves was' to compel four of his fellow slaves to stand and hold the victim stretched out in the air, and - then Bed ford and his brother John would stand, one on each side, with long, heavy bullwhips, anti cut up their victims until the blood trickled to the ground. Women were often stripped naked, and, with a bucket of salt water standing by, in which to. dip the instrument of torture, alleary leather thong, their backs were cut up until the blisters covered the whole surface. the blood of their wounds min gling with the briny mixture to add torment to the infliction. One slave man was whipped to death by Bedford, who used a trace-chain doubled forthe pur pose of punishment. The slave was secretly burled, and the murder was only known to the slaves of the prison, who only dared to refer to the circum stance in whisper,.

FOREIGN GOSSIP. A Fnuntur View O THE' GAilmuDl RUMP. London correspondent of the Sikle, M. Jules Gudrin, writing to that paper on April 12, says: "Garibaldi arrived in London yesterday. .A.t;. though I have lived in England many years, al though I have attendees enthusiastic meetings and brilliant manifestations, I humbly confess that I did not know the English people. I speak of the real horny-banded people, browned by the' heat of the forge or the sun ; did not known what ardent sympathy there is in those devoted hearts, or trea sures of admiration for liberty are hidden under that calm and almost cold exterior of the En,glish. The reception of Garibaldi by the people of London is a fact without parallel." GEN. GARIBALDI'S simple habits have been in no wise departed from since his sojourn at Stafford House. He 'rises at live and breakfasts at six, the meal consisting of bread, grapes, cheese, and. a glass of wine. He then smokes a cigar, while walidng in the grounds attached to the mansion. THE . MISNION OF LORD CLAM:NDON TO PANTS.— The Morning Herald says "It is stated that Lord Clarendon proceeds at once on a private mission to the Emperor of the French.

He was, two days back, received by the Emperor, an Arab established in Paris serving as interpreter. The property seized having passed into other hands, there was no possi bility of restoring it to its former proprietor, but his Majesty told Sidi Kadour that France would grant him a pension to place him beyond the fear of want. The applicant accepted this boon with gra titude, and left the palace delighted with his recep tion. The next day Sidi Kadour received a title of 6.000 f. of rente.

THE Porn AND THE. PLA-.--The English regi dents at Rome lately got up some private theatri cal performances, and were obliged to apply for the permission of his Holiness to act in Lent. They made petition therefore to Monsignor Talbot, who, being a- convert from the English Church, of which he was once a beneficed clergyman, is an ultra in everything ; he rejected their prayer with indigna tion. The disappointed actors then applied to some one else, who went directly to his Holiness himself, who, wonderful to relate, gave full consent, but in sisted on having his share of the run, by ordering Monsignor Talbot to come and translate the pieces to him into choice Italian. line of these was " Box and Cox."

Vic Ton Hmoo's HOMAGE TO SHARSPEAUE.-- `Victor Hu,,, , . - o>s now work upon Shakspeare has just been published in Paris, where It has . already at tracted great attention. The leading journals give long extracts from it, and refer to the special lute rest it possesses on the eve of the tercentenary oele bration. The Temps charlicterizesthe book as the most remarkable homage to Shakspeare which the coming anniversary has called forth, an opinion not unlikely, perhaps, to be-confirmed by English critics. "GREAT interest has recently been excited in the artistic world here," sdys a Paris letter in the Saha Public, of Lyons, "by a fine portrait of Madame Victoria Lafontaine, painted by an artist named Fdlu, without arms, but who plies the pencil very dexterously with his feet.
