THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, '. WEDNE3D A T, MARCll2,1870. .-i.. . r The lIoalc at Westminster. Ttwa th London AlKrruntm. Two portions ot the deooritioti for the Central Hall in the Honnns of Parliament have been completed in the glass mosaics of Messrs. Balviati A Co. These portions con sist of a picture, by Mr. l'oynter, over one of the archways through which ono pitsses to the Central Hall, and the filling in of the vault of the groined roof . between tho ribs. The latter, being confined to armorial flowers and beraldio emblems, comprises decora tions proper, the design of Messrs. Clayton & 3 tell; and if snch mosaics are admissible in the place nt all, they deserve nothing bnt praise. We think, however, that mosaics or any other mode of decoration would have been more wisely adopted if the work bad been kept in the lightest possible tone of coloring, and marked by the greatest simplicity of dosign. The sculpture and other enrichments of this edifice, espe cially those of the Central Hall, were already exuberant, and mocked the eyes which sought repose after seeing countless ' mouldings, statues, and pictures in stained glass, fresco, and stereochrome. Countless surfaoes of all possible forms exhibited gold, burnished and unburnished, and the Very pavements gave the tortured eye no rest. To the roof one looted for a little change for a moment's ease; and there, notwithstanding the folly , that had been perpetrated of painting the atone itself and for ever spoiling its beautiful natural color, something like quiet was found in the dull monochrome, and the shadows lay comfortably, so to say, among the groinings. Bo far as the Central Hall and other portions to which we shall refer hereafter are concerned, there is an end of this, thanks to the glittering works of "The Venice and Murano Glass and Mo saic Company." It would have been less un- . fortunate had a less effective bnt moie sober sort of mosaio been used here; for nine-tenths of the designs are illegible on aocount of the glittering of the gold and other oolored tesse rse. These reflect the light from the great , gaselier in a manner which is distressing;; nor is there any hope that time will reduoe this untoward splendor, because it is boasted of these mosaics that they suffer no changes and remain nndimmed by age. Hope pre sents itself, however, in the assurance of the promoters of these decorations that they may be washed: if so, it is clearly expected that they will get dirty; therefore as dirt will dim them, we say let them remain unwashed for long periods of time. It is characteristic of Englishmen when dealing with artistio questions that they fre quently forget propriety and ciroumstanoa ia carrying out their desires for reproducing forms of art which are admirable in other countries and climates and for other pur poses. Thus our windy hills and bleak moors are studded with "Italian" villas, our smoky cities enriched with buildings which offer costly carvings to the destructive air and its deposit of soot. It was bnt the other day that, at a tremendous cost, we finished in granite the parap. s of the Thames embank ' merit, and wrought them, not in the grave manner of the Egyptians when dealing with the same material, or what would have been best, in a simple form of Gothia, , character, but with the elaborate, angular, and manifold mouldings of one of the noblest phases of Gothio art, which were wisely adopted for soft stone only. Thus we threw both money and labor away. London is rife with blunders like these. We spoiled a good arch and a tolerable colossal statue by bringiag them together at Hyde Park Corner. Having got them there, and our blunder being obvious, we obstinately keep together what, if apart, would be orna ments, to form eyesores. A frightful sum was spent on the facade of the British Mu seum, and a colonnade erected to darken one of its most important galleries. We spoiled Trafalgar Square and the National Gallery by sticking in a small space in the middle of its large area a column which would have been an ' example of bad art, but is fatal where it is. Instances of such defective judgment are almost innumerable. Mow, the mosaio dooo rations which suit the brilliant atmosphere of Venice, and the vaulted spaces of Romanesque roofs and unmoulded domes, and the expan sive walls of Italian churches, are not suited to buildings such as the Houses of Parliament, which are mostly used at night, and illumi nated by scores of jets of gas of wnich tne lieht is reflected in dazzling brightness from thousands of tesserae of glass. Nor does it seem desirable to fritter away what unbroken surfaces remain in the already too dark roofs of the "Houses" by introducing elaborate and deeply-hued patterns, however well they may be designed, and however faultlessly thev mav be wrought. To put oolorea decora tions, such as piotures and the like, in places which are illuminated in the day by light which passes through a superabundance of nohlv-hued stained glass is absurd. It we must have colored windows, then grisaille only is compatible with gorgeous pictures and resplendent mosaics. This being unde ' niably the case, is it not strange that, with every facility for reproducing the designs of Messrs. Povuter and Clayton & Bell iu a sober Bort of mosaic, we employ tesserra which flash back the garishness of the chan deliers, and rival the gnady windows in splendor ? All this is contrary not only to common sense, but to the practice of Gothio architects of the best time. We desire to speak of Mr. Toynter's dosign, before referred to, with reservations us to the sort of mosaic which has been employed to reproduce it. As a picture it is admirable, and perfectly suited to mnral decoration The subject is St. George, who appears stand ing between figures ot i ortitiuie ana runty, The expressious, drawing, color, and enrich, ruents of this work "are what we should ex cect from such accomplished hands. We congratulate the publics on the skill and learn ing of the painter employed in their servioe. Other mosaio works of the company in Question are in progress1 at Westminster: ' thus the roof of the landing at the bead of the staircase which leads to the Royal Gallery from the Norman Porch ia being decorated in their mode from designs of Messrs. Clay ton & Bell, and so far us we ablo to form an opinion of it as at present unfinished, appa rently with great success; here the work is fiinsll, its surrounding architecture is com paratively Bobt r, and its accompanying deoo rations simpler than in the Central Hall. A trifling specimen' was some months ago exe cuted in the chimney-piece of the Queen's Ilobing Boon. We have said nothing of the cost of mosaio as a mode of decoration: , it must be very great, but the permanency of the results is to be set against the expense. ; , , . CONFIDENTIAL. A Clerk f " Ml .SOOO-Pnrilcu),vr 1 of Hie Kobbrrt and t-liilht. The Chicago Post of Saturday says: A well-known young man ol thi- city, CnnrUs. E. Kowau, has played what now appear to be a aL,., trumn in. on lila employer, ftlusfra. C. Hinckley St Co., coiuinlsMou merchants, having an oitiee In Hie Chamber of Commerce biilldliur. He baa abscouded with United States bond valued at 10000 and currency amounting to 12000. Be has been employed as cnntlriVntial clerk and bookkeeper by tUeaooveflrm for5 yars past On Monday cvenlnir laat. Rowan, who Is a single man of about twenty-eight years, left his nged and widowed mother, sating thnt he was going to Waukegau to upend the 23d. Two days afterwards a letter was found upon a bureau in Rowan's room, addressed to his mother, and In which was Inclosed a letter to Mr. Illnckloy. In tbe letter to his mother Kowan bade her good-by, and said that was probably the last time t-ho would see him alive. The letter to Mr. Hinckley was substantially as follows: "My brain Is cracked; I cannot stand this pres sure any longer. When you find me, you will learn tho quickest manner of death; and I be queath to you all that is left of me." Upon learning of Kowan's departure, Mr. Hinckley made an examination of securities at tbe Union National Rank, and found that his United States bon is, amounting to (5000 and valued at tOOOO, had eecn withdrawn by Kowau after banking hours, be having been authorized to do the bank Idr bnMnes of tho firm. Upon further Investigation, a deficiency of a couplo of thousand dollars was discovered, making Kowan a defaulter to the extent of about (8000. Nothing has been seen or hoard of Kowan since bis departure. The absconder la five feet eight inches high, has brown wavy hair, and moustache and whiskers ef tho samo hue. He has a Koman nose and dark blue eyes. He is of rather slender stature, and weighs about 140 pounds. WANTED A BABY. A Peculiar Cn In a .lost Ice' Ofllcn Valne of a "White Complected liaby." An amusing cane came up for adjudication in a Tennessee court recently, which created quite a little sensation among the numerous specta tors in the court. A colored girl named Clark sued a Mrs. Clara Patterson, who lives on McCall street, to recover the sum ot two hun dred and fifty dollars "for services rendered in procuring a baby." The evidence showed that at the present time Mrs. Patterson has a husband who is at present a resident of Davenport. Iowa. A short time ago she told the girl Clark that she was to procure a baby, and offered her three hundred dollars If she would get her a "nice, white-complected ono." The girl went to work, and after diligent search for three, weeks among her friends and acquaint ances, she managed to get a colored woman who bad a quadroonlsh infant of about three moDtbs old, to surrender it into hsr keeping, promising that the juvenile would be carefully attended to and properly brought up. With her little charge in her arms she went directly to the house of Mrs. Patterson, although It was about eleven o'clock at night, and handed the Infant to ter. No sooner, however, had she inspected the little one s face than she exclaimed: "Good gracious! I don't want a nigger baby," and plaintiff refused to have anything to do with the child, or to pay the girl tbe amount she had promised. Tho girl was in a dilemma. The mother refused to take it back. Mrs. Patterson would have nothing to ao witu tne youngster, and as tne girl was unable to support tho child, her friends advised her enter suit for the amount montioncd in the verbal contract. In order to bring this case under the jurisdiction of a justice, sho threw off fifty dollars and entered suit for (350, which, as Jireviously stated, came up for a hearing before iistice Grillith. Several witnesses corroborated the testimony ot the girl as to the main facts, and sue received judgment lor tue amount claimed. Tbe case was appealed.
