After some unimportant changes in the boundaries of the Synods of Albany, Utica, Geneva, and Genesee, they were ratified. The Synod of Philadelphia was then taken tip. Alfred Hand, Esq., of Soranton, moved that the proposed Synod of Scran ton be added to that of Philadelphia, with the exception of the counties of McKean, Potter, and Tioga, which be added to the Synod of Ilarrisburg. After speeches in the affirmative by Rev. Henry H. Welles, of Kingston, Pa., and Rev. S. H. Moon, of Presbytery of Montrose, it was agreed to. All of the Pennsylvania synods were somewhat changed, and, as finally adopted, are constituted as follows: Synod of Philadelphia, to comprise the counties of Philadelphia, Bucks, Northamp ton, Montgomery, Delaware, Chester, Lan caster, York, Lebanon, Berks, Bradford, Sus quehanna, Wayne, Pike, Monroe, Lehigh, Carbon, Schuylkill, Luzerne, Wyoming, and Sullivan, and the Presbytery of Western Africa.

Governor Pollock also extended an invitation to the members to visit the United States Mint. I I FOREIGN ART ITEMS. The Paris correspondent of the London Athenavm thus describes one of the principal ensations of the salon of 1870: It is called Salome, the work of M. A. Reg nault, and represents the damsel resting on. a seat, her feet on a leopard's hide, and holding on her knees the gold charger and red sheathed knife of John the Baptist's death. She is panting, as if after the fatal dance; her very feet are hardly yet still, the heels seem to tap each other and the toes to twitch; her youthful bosom, hardly hidden by silk of rosy and golden colors, heaves; the vast tangles of ber hair of deepest black fall over her brows, which shadow eyes unchaste, cruel and lighted with a wicked triumph, to her shoulders, where they meet the as yet imperfect luxury of her bust and its delicate skin. Her lips are just Batted by the smile, and show the teeth within, er body is covered by the rosy and gold-hued Bilks before named; her tunic, gorgeously painted and in itself gorgeous, is of the thin nest tissue of cloth of gold, itself a mystery of sheeny wealth, which hardly hides the limbs which she designs to show. She is otherwise bejewelled and bedizened in bar baric magnificence: sits on a stool of subtlest inlays, and before a curtain of glowing yel low. As to the representation of the subject, of course it maybe objected that this 1b rather the personification of a French opera dancer's wildest dream of a theatrical triumph than a picture of the fair daughter of Herodian as bhe sat before Herod and her mother. This objection would be se far just that this "Sa lome" looks too much hardened in wicked de sires, if not wicked ways, too much like many men's ideal of a French opera dancer, to agree with our notions of the maiden's life; also that it is "French" to the core, that is, not far .removed from operatic: yet this criticism is not wholly fair, because the work thoroughly and entirely fulfils its purpose of presenting a new subjeot to French eyes, and the result is fascinating after one has got over the startling effect of the yellow back ground, mastered the cruel insolence ef the eyes, so ill suited to the damsel of our thoughts eyes which stare and defy while they exult and has got over the amazing splendors of her costume, which are rather meretricious than superb and princely. These things mastered no easy task we begin to admire the power which produced the face, the skill which dealt with the rose and ivory of the flesh, especially in the feet, and the fine points of vivid and original color which appear in this figure; the very dexterity which so tricked it in tissue, and the audacity whioh dealt with the background, are certain of applause. Of course, after all this is said, the very powers which are thus triumphantly displayed in all their luxury and lervency are tnose which Herald as well as insure the corruption and decline of severe art. The same critic notices as follows the alle gorical picture by Yvon, painted for Mr. A. T. Stewart, of New York- Man is mortal, and critics are but men; so we admit without shame, nay, with satisfac tion, that there is Art and an irresistible charm in Mr. Regnault's picture, which are wanting in that tremendous historical alle gory wmcn no less famous a painter than M. Adolphe Yvon, Delarocko's own pupil, has condescended to produce for M. Stewart, of New York and we trust, at an enormous price, because the agonies of its bringing forth deserve an immense return. It is de signed to glorify the Northern States of the Union, and does so fulsomely. It represents a gigantic figure of the American republics giving a hand to "la Sagesse;" archangels are expelling evil passions, sanguinary traces on the carta represent the past; black, white, and even red men are jubilant ; hordes of European emigrants arrive and find Virtue triumphant; the Ame rican rivers are personified, together with Peace, Labor, the statue of Washington, and proclamations of the glories of the United States are going forth to the four corners of the world. Bad and stupid as these things are, we recognize and, with a laugh, endure them; bnt what on earth can be meant by the grim figure which, like' Nemesis, rises from the grave on our left f This portentous pro duction would not call for notice, if the fame of M. Yvon were not concerned and its vast dimensions and prominent position did not challenge the eyes. Drawn with a cold aca demic correctness, painted heartlessly, I ri gidly inspired, conventional, boastful, and yet weak in sentiment, here allegory culmi nates: would it were the last of 4ts kind ! There is more of art, more of the human heart, more truth in the tritest picture here of an Italian organ-grinder than in this enor mous daub by one of the most eminent French artists. A corresDondent Iwntes as follows to the London Athetiavm with regard to another 'Heading Magdalen" attributed to Corregigee: This picture is at Heidelberg, and said to have been brought from Italy by Duke Carl Eugen yon Wnrtemberg, is in excellent pre servation, on canvas; size, lo ty incnes. The Magdalen is in a wood, lying on the mossy ground, supporting her head on the right arm, and holding with the left an open book, bending over it aa thoagh absorbed. The dark-blue drapery falling back from the head is arranged to leave the arms, breast, and feet uncovered.- An expression of life in quiet repose is over the whole; owing to this, and the grandeur of the contours, the effect of a full-sizea figure is produced, ana the amallness of the work forgotten. Ihe chiaroscuro la masterly, transparent, and delicate; The tints of the flesh are harmo nions. and the tone throughout is clear and pure.' The hair is abundant and fair, and T. a . . A - I a a- the color or the drapery ho ionea mat tne texture appears in all its reality. Compared with Lord Dudleys and tne Dresden pictures, the "Magdalen" at Heidel berg ehows in the head and figure a different , . . .a. aa tvne oi cnaracter. in tne ieaiures w bolub- tiiinc peculiar and characteristic which nrovee. I think, that the artist worked directly from a living model. The head has less of an oval form, and is taken more from tne side than the others. The pose is considerably more horizontal, and a narrow piece of drapery separates the bosom from the book a refinement which is not visible in the better known pictures. Another difference ia in the shadow thrown by the face upon the left shoulder and over the bust. In the known picture this falls nearly in a straight line, whereas in the Heidelberg "Magdalen" it is far more important, and draws so that it is easy to trace tne profile of the face in the shadow. The vase in the others is not here. The Dudley and the Dresden "Magdalena repre- f est ore aVfi0i W4 vad tjj ?f wo roi nhood tban the one at Heidelberg. In Lord Dadley'a Correggio the light which falls on the figure (on the nade especially) forms a stronger contrast with the deep tiaU of the drapery and, the background than in the "MagdaWof Herr Sohmitt,-in which it is brightest on the bead, subdued on the figure, and diffused over the fore and back ground, both of ' which are simpler and slighter than in the other pictures; the whole motive is less elaborate, but full of originality and freedom of handling. Pro'essor Dr. Schliephake concludes, from a minute comparison of the three pictures, that in the one belonging to Herr 8chmitt Ccrreggio rendered his first idea of the "Reading Magdalen,' and from a living model. He has grasped the principal ele ments, end produced a composition beautiful in its whole effect and grand simplicity. In the Dresden "Magdalen" the master intro duced many variations. The head became a type of loveliness, the figure fuller and richer in exteiior attractiveness, and the back ground was elaborated in keeping; although the geceral motive is still much like that in dicated in the picture, which may show the first conception. The Dudley "Magdalen" is the most elaborate .and most finished of the three works. The Professor concludes that Herr Schmitt's picture must, be the one first painted, as it cannot be supposed that Correggio would pro duce a simple picture after the more elaborate ones with the same subject. Accounts, from the pen of Dr. Schliephake, ef Heidelberg, of this alleged "Correggio" have appeared in trie IMoskuren, Berlin.

It is even said that by an oversight he has allowed tbe name capel to be printed instead ot (Jatesby. We don't believe in the portrait theory our selves, and if such an error has occurred it is probably due to some one besides Mr. Disraeli. Tbe Boston Traveller says that a member of a Massachusetts House committee was offered 20,000 to sign a certain report, and conse quently made a full explanation to his col leagues thus: "I went borne the other night, and after Harriet and I had retired, says I, 'Harriet, which had you rather have me to do. brinr home to vou $20,000 for pin money, or an honest husband ?'
