CIURCTi rt OF THE EXIIIDITIO.
15 THE INSTITUTION WHAT IT SHOULO DEP
A moro careful examination of the Spring Exhi
bition bus disappointed us. Hitherto tho Acadomy
has bcon treated with indulgence by tho pro, lrora
a fear thai just criticism would mfure it. Ill-founded
leer! Tho Acadomy baa suffered from too muod
leniency; all of its exhibitions have bten equady
praised, and the Directois have not been hold to a
strict account. Thus, year by y ar, tho exhibitions
have grown worse; and we do not hositato to Bay
that, with all propor allowance, tho present collec
tion is discreditable.
It docs not contain ono groat picture.
It bus many that aro good. but it lacks variety,
and its prevailing tono Is commonpluoe.
Tho Dlan e of this must bo divided among tho Di
rectors, the uriis's, and the newspapers.
Tbe Diiectors have shown a want of enterprise;
tbey hare not endoavored with enercy to make grea'.
exhibitions, but have depended upon the distribution
or circulars, and voluntary contributions ot tho pos
sessors ot pictures. Tbe management needs Jtho
rough reorganization ; it must be awakened irom it
long sleep. New men should bo put at its head.
Evory namo in the Board ot Directors is, wo admit,
a good one; but what irtorest do the majority of the
members tako in tbe Institution? Yor af :er yoar,
the Acadomy, like an old-fashioned Conostoea
wagon. Jogs along in dee? ruts worn by bait a con
tury of travel.
Tho artists, who are always in a abate or civil war,
bavo been iuflueucod by potty Jualoudcs. (some
oi them mako the Academy tho.r headquarters, and
control it to ud. ance thoir own reputations ; othois,
tqually to bluino, refusj to have anything to do with
U.Jand will scarcoly send their plo ur.ts. This year
the annual qtmriel with the llangm? Commhtoo
has gone so far that t vo of tho best artists iu Phila
delphia, Edward Moran aud T lomas Moran, havo
not Bent a single p'ctum. James Hamilton is not
well represon'od, taouh an i xhib tiou without one
ol his greut paiutiugs is nkeVim'er wi h tuo Priuce
omitted. VV. 1 Kchar.ls has but two pictures, and
those inferior to his averi'.iro
Conceding that the Hanging Committee have a
do.icate trust, and, like tho old man aud his son
who took tho jackass to market, cannot hope to
pleaso evotybody, still we agreo that tno piouiros are
badly bung, lhe Mew Vor painters hotter repre
sented than we thought from our firut visit mono
polize the best places. The artists on tho Han Ting
Cimnilttce have taken enro ol each other, and many
pood pictures aro hustled aivan. Tho best mariuo in
the ccllectioti, "Liverpool Harbor," by J u tuo j Him
llton, is bung In the mo t obscure corner 01 tho
Morthwest (Jal ery, while in the Northeast Ga lery,
the best room in the building where for many veara
it ha s been the custom to place tbe b"8t pictures
numbers of commonplaces are prominently dis
played. These are Instances that wo need not mul
tiply. Tbe publio may judgo for itself.
The newspapers, it thov bad done their duty three
yeai ago, ndght have prevented this gradual doclmo
ol tie Academy, but their meanlnarloss praise baa
aided 1' With verv lew exceptions the ai t criti
cisms have beoti little above tbe level of the theatri
cal puds, in which every actor who comes to town
is styled "a man of unequalled gi-nius," and erery
aetresa "beautitul pnd otiasto " While tbe manage
ment of tbe Academy has lulu in Its Kip Van Winkle
sleep, the newspapers have sung their "E)ck a-bye

Taul rieaohnii at Athens" tNo 649), by F. F.
Bothcimoi, occupies the place 01 honor, as it should,
being the best list or leal work in the collection.
Mr. Kothermol, in two q-ialitlos. Is unequalled br
an; historical painter In tin country, 01 perhaps In
furor?. Color and composition are tho ptliars that
uphold h a fame. .Nothing can be more superb
ar.d rich than tho color of bis bost pie'nres;
and with all its trilliancy and boldnoss, It
is; riot coarse. On the contrary, its combi
nations are peculiarly subtto and refined. His
brush has the a cop of a mastor; t lie arrangement of
color is bold.y b ooked out iu masses, and arterwards
worked up in oxquisito detai', alwavs subordinate to
the general eflect The harmony is perfect. With
so much pcvfcr thoro is considerable mannerism
There are certain tn tsof which Mr. Kothcrmnl Is
too lond, and thoir repetition in all his oiC'uroils
tiresome, Ao one can paint hotter fl -sh, yot if tne
subjoct be a young girl, as in the "Christian Mar
tjrs," or Cordelia in "King Lear," it is a' most a
certalntr that tbe art.;st will endeavor to express
purity by a peculiar pallor whloh is not often soon
in life.
The composition of his master pieces is not mcroly
accurate, but original, lib knowlo iToof prlnoiplos
is so thmourrh and exact .hat ho can work with per
feet freedom and ease j ho Is not totterjd by rule,
though he does not violate their spirit. Tho gouius
Of an artist begins precisely where education ends;
most men give no more than what they have learned,
and thus the mnjority ol pictures are tnoroly ropeti
tionsof old efteo s. "Whore do you Intend to put
your brown treef" said one oi the first connoissottrs
in Rutland to a landscape palntet; lor actually at

a lnudfcr.ro without a brawn tree was considered Ira
perfect I Eotbermel is independent of thesj pettr
rules, and in bis finest compositions, with all thoir
classic regularity, one is constantly surprised br
beauties that were never tuurht in the .choo s, nor
imitated irom tbe cartoons ot Raphael.
In di awing of tho human figure Mr. Rotliornol is
usually considered Ccficiont. It ij not one or his
chief excellence, but we sliall not insist upon his
inferiority in this t ranch. TI1010 aro many punous
who talk of drawing, without knowing anything of

Cut of expression the public aro fail juj.jo'',
and tnro is Mr. Rott-ermol's gteat tailing. It is
(oldom worthy ot I is color and composition, aud it
is.marked by a trcneial mannerism. Wo wish w e
bad a t etlcr picture the.u 'Paul I'roachin.? at ALh- ns"
to which theso remurks mit'lit bo applied, but
though it is t ot one ol his finest works, it ii in ex
pression equal to tho I est. Tho artist or tho 3tudent
ot art may admiro its beuufi ul groupings, tun oox
teious distribution of lines, and po-i of heads, or tho
n'cli color; but who would bo movod by the spirit ot
l:o scone? Tbe liure and the iaco of Paul are
neither cloqunn' nor impro3ive; nor do Ins uulitors
a jcar to be touched by his reasoning or aopeals.
At tho best they uro ttltcntivo. Or course,
ju such a subject; tlio arlisi should

the tceiio, in this lhe point wh-.ro Paul announces to
the Athenians tho doctrine of tho resurrection ol to
dead. "And whou thov heard ol the resurt ootlon of
the dead, eouie mocked; and otlicrs raid, Wo wil1
hear thee again ot this matter." Somo should bo
convinceo of ihe truth, othors interested, otherj
step icul, and some purely indifferent. But Mr.

Die ute hnve tho air rather ot a woll-bred city con

lips of uninspired apostle,
if Mr Itothetmel's imag'nalion nnd power of
txpretsing pabiou and feeling wi.ro equal to his
pcneral ability, be would pio jably deservo to rank
with the greatest painters who havo ever lived. Aa
it is, be has no equal, in this country at least. We
have few opportunities of comparison, but lot thos0
who would judge for themselves examine even his
iuionor painting of "Paul Preaching," and corn

"Cbiist Stilling the Tempest" (No. 531) by J. CI
CbaLman, is another illustration ol tho terip;ures.
It was painted in Romo, we believe, but a man need
net go so far to paint so badly. There is a certain
amount of technical merit in Mr. Chapman's work

is liko Raphael's "Miraculous Druui'ht of Fishos" iu
one respect the figures iu the boat ought to swamp
it; but the inutitionof a great artist's tau ts is loss
pardonable than a direct copy of bis successes. Mr
chapman has treated bis subjeot without a pat tiole
of imagination; tho figure of tho Saviour is scarcoly
human, much less divine; and the color in which it
is di oped is repulsive to iho eye. Ho has evon taken

experienced artists frequently chooso suiijecis of
gnat moral or polit:c&I imporiauco, 1 jraotciug that
the true field 01 puUituur is that wh'On attracts the
eve. For instanco, iu the "Docout Irom tbe

subject is remarkaoly lull oi acton; yet there
aie oilier events iu tho li.oot Christ, superior to it
in re.lrious importance, which would have fur lo?s
pxtorml interest Mr. achussole has not suoi ee led
in making a striking comiositiou of this comiiwn
place material. The figures are numerous ai d small,
ai d that of Jack-on is in vi'aulv insignificant. It
wants the Jacksonlan character, and It It wore not
lor the portrait ol the old hero, wbioa is excellent,
no oue would know, without tho aid ot tno cata
logue, what scene is illustrated. In other respocti
the picture is a good specimen of Mr. Schusselo's
ability. The arrangement of figures is artistic, und
the di awing correct aud boautirul.
In another picture, called "How Ihe Fiola wi)
Won" (No. ). tho subject is much hotter; but tho
execution is more sketchy, and tho color not equal
to Mr. Scbus.-eie'a powers. Ue also ex ul bits a char
acteristic portrait of Peter Co 'par (No. - ).
Jtwoaid bo nnfair to estimate Mr Schussele by
bis pictures In this exhibition. Those wuo reinam.

be is an artist of unusual excolleuto aud toe finest
appreciation. His co'or U not equal to that of
Rotborme), nor is bis composition, though oorreot
and graceful, as striking'. Bat in drawing he is
Rothermel's lutei'lor, and bis expression has tar
moro variety and power. His long sooaro In this
city has been an honor to It, and a trest some to
our art. We eame tiy bop that he wi'l sjon return
from Europe, restored to health, and benofitod by
his study. No one can nil his place; numbers of pic
tures in onr private ga'lfrios attest his power; yet h
has not done enourh lor onr Instruction and plea

Tha Latest Novelty.
From Frank Lu'ie'i Lady's Magazine.
Since the beginning of spring;, we hare re
ceived numberless letters from subscriber, par
ticularly from those redding, at a distance from
t he metropolis, as to whether the reign of crino
line may be considered permanent lor thi sea
son, and, if go, what ts the mot approved stylo
and shape lor hoops. The subject is a miich,
more si rious one than at first appears, for the
mobt expensire and tasteful dross, in spite of the
titmcst elforts of the most skiliul ol dress
naskt n, will be wantinsr in elegance and stj lo If
worn over an 111 shapeu or unfashionablu hoop.
In new of this, we hare given the stibieet of
crinoline our special attention: and after com
peting, and fully enterlDg into the respective
merits oi each and allot iho cMumnts to pub
1 c lavor, we have concluded that biudlev's New
"Empress Trail" Duplex Elliptic Skirt, cf waich
we give an illustration, is the style, ol all others,
best udnpted to be worn with the nec iltar pluit
11 11 oi diese3 now in vocue. Without fiilnens
whatever 111 front, acU with wide plaits at the
back, aud Bides, dress skirts now moro than ever
require to b- supported by symmetrical hoops.
The "Empress Trail" is small over tbe hips,
and the swell is gradual, until the 1 jer pail, ot
the tkttt is reached, when it Is ol suiUclent
wiuth to serve rs an admirable frttmeworic to
ihp 1 mplo, trailing, gored skins ol tho pres :ut
lasHi n. Shoit ,n trout, to avoll any posst
til tv of catching the loot, and csuiug that
bust ui.giaceitil oi all lemintne mishaps, a
stuuit le, to speak ot noihinfinorcscrbns.it is
. o tdiaped ns to lorm a perlect train at the baclc
r anpport absolutely required lor the dress
tialus lallinp over it, ami which oue Paris corrcs
" tidt tit n!ornv us no not uu frequently atttiiu
the length of a yard and a yarn and a hall!
u ink 01 this, lad ion, and conceive how sorry
v 1 uld be onr appearance withou; ihe aid of the
"Impress Trail" skirt, to eerve as a piaceftil
ecnfioldir.g lor all this supt rtluous material 1
'JhcFe skirts, picservinir always tho sani" rela
tivo ptoportioiiB, may b bud In width 1 rancriii'r
from three to even four aud three-quarter yards
around tbe bottom ol the skirt; and 111 all 'ca-.es
tbe lowest half dozen rows nrp each made of
four double steel spiines, that they may bo at
once duruble and sullicieutlv still to support the
heaviest dres-s. Tho (net aloiie c oniuiends thotn
particularly to ludics, as the combination oi
economy with deoauce, grace, aud comfort, Is
not to be despised.
We have ref'eired partlouVirlv to the fact of
the lower port'on of Ihe "E.npress Trail" boin
composed of lour double spnusr?, but we must
not otr.it to mention that the hoops of thp enllro
pk rt are cotepoNi'd .tl two liuelv tempered steel
s-l'iincs braided tightly and firm I v topother,
which is the secret ot tlicsupcr.or itexiMlity of
this cr-nolnie. The "Lmpvcrs Trail'' takes pre
