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

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.

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

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

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

Paris serving as interpreter. The property seized
having passed into other hands, there was no possi

but his Majesty told Sidi Kadour that France would

ArSTPJAN SOLDTEMA von MExrco.—The Military.
Gazelle, of 'Vienna, states that Francis Joseph has
authorized the raising in the interior of the empire

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."
A BLACK BISHOP OF THE 0/WWII OF ENGLAND.
—The Rev. Samuel Crowther, an African mis
sionary, has been appointed, and is to be conse
crated by the Archbishop of Canterbury, in the course
of a few weeks, bishop of the native churches in
parts of Western Africa beyond the dominions of
the British crown. The episcopate is to be formed
on the model of the Jerusalem and Central African
bishoprics, under what Is called the Jerusalem
Bishoprics act. The bishop nominated, who is a
black man, was once a slave boy
. and being rescued
by a British cruiser, became a missionary teacher in
Sierra Leone.
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. This is not the first
instance of the kind '
• for, during the reign of Louis
Philippe, several of the annual exhibitions at the
Louvre comprised paintings by il. Dticornet, of
Lisle, Who appended to his tlgnature the words
Painter without arms.'"
LA FRANCE announces that a grand banquet

times, and already the concurrence has been se
cured of Lamartme, .Guizot, Alexander Dumas,
Victor Hugo.s eldest son Fri - meets, Cousin, Ville

The loan market is mere, inactive, and the rates for
new business favor the borrower. Several 6 per cent.
loans have been sold off this morning. The 'l"i-easing
ease is attributed to the expansion of the currenoy by
the Treasury disbursements of 5 per cent. legal tenders
and to the gradually augmenting currencyof_the.litele
