Revels, Sena tor elect from Mississippi. After some dis cussion they were received by the Senate, whereupon Mr. Stockton, of New Jersey, offered a resolution to refer them to the Judi ciary Committee, with instructions to inquire and report as to citizenship, etc., of the can didate. Pending the diaoussion on the reso lution the Senate adjourned. In the House the case of Mr. Whittemore came up. An affidavit from Mr. Whittemore, prepared by Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, was read, in which he declares that if time is given him he con prove that he had never used the money received by him for his own private purposes, and complains that he had no opportunity to cross-examine witnesses. When the affidavit was read, Mr. Butler spoke in favor of postponing the consideration of the question. Mr. Logan said that he had asked Mr. Whittemore to cross examine Kegler, one of the- witnesses, and that Whittemore said he would have nothing to do with such a scoundrel. He said that while the receiving of money for the disposal of the appointment was acknowledged, it made no difference what the member had done with it after it was re ceived. He moved the previous qmestion, and resolutions postponing the consideration of the case and directing the summoning of . other witnesses were defeated by large ma jorities. The question then recurred on the ' expulsion resolution, when Mr. Whittemore appealed to the House to extend the time of action another day. Mr. Logan said he would make no objection, and the House ad journed. " Forelern Adair. France has written to Prussia concerning the treaty of Prague.

The picture by Mr. Leighton, which is likely to be his sole contribution to the forth coming Royal Academy Exhibition, derives its subject from the pathetie conclusion of the "Alcestis" of Euripides, .the story of which may be thus briefly recalled: Ad metus, the friend of Apollo, married Alcestifl, and when his time came for death the Fates consented to prolong his life if another per son would die in his stead; and this Alcestis did. She, in the picture, lies supine on a bier beneath a canopy which hangs from trees near the sea-shore. Her figure is statue-like, with ordered limbs, hair and dress; a few red flowers are scattered upon it. Hercules struggles with Death, who has come to take his due; and in the wrestle bends his antagonist firmly across his knee, as if to give a back-fall. Admetus, old and hoary, stands behind the bier, sustaining in his arms a damsel of hia house who has sought refuge there in her terror. The attendants are gathered at the head of the bier and form a grand group; among them are two virgins with rose-garland and funeral vases; the grave is in front. Beyond the figure of Admetus the sea is Been, a vast and purple plain, under a thunderous sky. The most striking figures of the design are those of Hercules and Death; the latter is a livid form, hardly less muscular than his enemy, whose brawny and golden-hued flesh and robe of lion's hide contrast strongly with the mortal fmllors of the other. The picture is of a arge size, about eight feet in length by more than five feet in height. Mr. V. rrinscp has in hand, and will probably contribute several if not all the following pictures to the next Royal Academy Exhibition: 1. "The Death of Cleopatra. The queen is seated in a chair in the atrium of the templo-tomb which she built for Antony, and before bis grave, where a fire burns on a tripod. Iras, with arms extended, lies dead at her mistress' feet; her head is towards us, and the figure is successfully foreshortened. Charmian turns to the sol dier who approaches with Cresar's message. Ranges of columns, with their superincum bent architecture, form the background. 2. "Coming Home from the Garden," a young lady standing at a rustic gate which opens to a house. 3. "A Dish of Tea," a damsel in the costume of Queen Anne's days, entering a room, push ing back its doors before her and bearing in her hands a rich tea-equipage. 4. "A por trait of Mary Wyndhara, a girl walking in a field with flowers in her lap. 5. "A Lady reading 'Sir Charles Grandison,' " and seated at a small table in a chamber with a' book before her, looking as if rapt in its pages and hesitating to turn the leaf which her fingers hold. This artist has been commissioned to design for the Art Department a large pic ture, to be wrought in mosaic, and represent students receiving prizes which they have won in competition. When finished this work will be placed in the Examination Hall at South Kensington. The legacy left to the Louvre by the late M. Lacaze has been received by Count Neu werkerke, who is now preparing the Salle des Anciens Etats, lately devoted to the pottery of the Campana Gallery, for the reception of the collection, and has continued M. Thnillier in the post of conservator, which he held for many years under M. Lacaze. Every nook and corner of M. Lacoze's hotel were crammed with pictures, and the experts have valued the collection at about two mil lions of francs. M. Lacaze was a good judge, and what he bought he never parted with; the consequence is that many admirable works which had fallen out of view will now be brought to the light of day. The Moniteur dts Arts gives a pretty full account f the collection, and we extract bo much of it as is likely to interest the general artistio world. M. Lacaze was a great lover of the Frenoh school of the seventeenth and eighteenth cen turies. Of the Louis Quatorze period the most remarkable works are a portrait of the President Mesmes, and another large and im portant work by Philippe de Champaigne; the latter represents the "Pre vote des Mar chands et des Echevins" of Paris, and was purchased at the Sebastian! sale for only two hundred francs. There are fifteen portraits by Largilliere; and a large picture, "Hercules at the Feet of Omphale, by Lemoine, one of the original decorators of Versailles. Artists and amateurs will find here a num ber of Watteau's works, for which the "Davidists" had so much contempt that the public galleries of France possess scarcely half a dozen examples. M. Lacaze was always on the lookout for these, and secured sixteen works, amongst which is the famous "Gilles," which was lost sight of for years. M. Denon, when Director of the Imperial Museums, found this picture at one of the old bric-a- brac shops which stood in the Cour du Car rousel, with the following written upon it in chalk: "Pierrot voudrait vous plaire;" he recognized the "Gilles," purchased it for about 200 francs, and, delighted with his prize, offered it at once to the commission charged with the purchase of works for the Louvre; but it was unanimously and disdain fully rejeoted. At the sale of M. Denon's private collection, after his death, the pic ture was purchased by M. Sipieres, who sold it in the early years of Louis Philippe's reign to M. Lacaze for 3000 francs. Amongst the other Watteaus are a "Sleeping Nymph and batyr ana A Juan uriniung. There are several works in the collection by Boucher, Lancret, Fragonard, and Char din, and two very remarkable historical por traits by Greuze, those of the Conven- tionnels Gonsonne and Fabre d'Eglantine Many artists of less renown are represented for M. Lacaze not only possesses taste and judgment, but also a good share of what our neighbors ceil flair. Amongst works of other schools will be a found a ''Portrait of Mary de Medicis," by Rubens; Rembrandt's "Pool of Bethesda;" "A Mendicant," by Ribera: some fine portraits by Tintoret; some exam' pies of the Ostades and Teniers. It has been said that when M. Lacaze ob tained possession of a picture he never let it go again. Many amusing anecdotes on this subject are current in Paris: one of his hits was the purchase, for a mere trifle, of charming work by Raoux, Boucher's nephew. A friend, also a great connoisseur, called upon him and said, "I have a proposal to make to you; X possess tne pendant of that picture; do me the favor to let me have it." ''Well, let me Bee," said Lacaze, with a smile, "what will you give me for it?" "15,000 francs." "No," said Laoaze, after a pretenoe of consideration, "but bring me yours and I will give you 16,000." So the pendants re mained separated. At Lord Pembroke's sale Lacaze gave 3000 francs for a small picture called "La Toilette." The Marquis of Hert ford was immediately taken by the picture and offered 30,000 francs for it, but Lacaze was inflexible. , A gentleman In Providence, R.
