Some Philadeljphia . Pictures.
Several of the artists who haiv studios in
the building :No. 524 Walnuts street, have
arranged there for exhibition, in the room
of Mr. J. E. Galvan,some of the latest works
they have been engaged upon. Mr. G-alvan's
own contribution is altogether the best he
has yet painted. It is called "The'Old
Story." A lady riding on a white horse
through a wood, encounters her lover, who
has been shooting. Laying down his. gun,
he leans upon the pommel of the saddle and
pours into her evidently gracious ear "the
old story." The group is admirably drawn
and remarkably rich in color, a blaze of sun
light breaking through the trees upon the
figures. The surrounding foliage is exqui
sitely painted. In composition, in color and
in finish it is worthy of the best of
our genre painters, and would adorn any
collection.
, Mr. H. P. Bispham's contribution to the
little exhibition is in his best vein. He callP;
it "A Difference of Opinion." A rough,
shaggy mule is resisting a little negro, of
the truest African type, who 113 trying to
drag him along by a halter, while an impor
tant, busy-looking dog is snarling at his
heels. The picture is painted with great
vigor; the humorous' sentiment is not its
only merit, for the figures are faithful to
nature, the color is excellent, and all the
surroundings are in keeping and executed
with care. This capital picture is, we be
lieve, sold, but it is worth a visit before it
goes to its owner.
There are two small fruit pictures by Mr.
Milne Ramsey—grapes, raisins, apples,nuts
and glasses of wine, on a white cloth, which
are capital specimens of their class. The
fruit is of the fruitiest and the wine of the
winiest, and all the little details' f a, re painted
with miniatitie-like care. We doubt
whether the's° two pictures can be excelled
by any artist of the same line in the country.
Mr. Edw and B. Beiusell contributes a pic
ture which he - calla "The Wayside Inn."
Wagons, horses, men, women; children,and
various animals are grouped about an old.:
fashioned rustic inn, the sign of which,
hanging from a gnarled old tree, designates
it. "The Setting Sun." It is towards the
close of day, and the warm, horizontal rays
of the sun light up the inn and the other ob
jects with excellent effect.: A small cabinet
picture, by the same artist, which he calls
"Meditation," is worthy also of note. A
young girl is sitting pensively before an
open casement, through which there is seen
an effective bit of sky, throwing a good light
upon the face and figure.
We advise patrons and friends of native
art to call and see these modest but excel
lent specimens. They will be open for save-
Fel days.
The Boston !Magazines.
The April number of The Atlantic Monthly
opens with the first of a series of papers on
"The Last Days of Walter Savage Landor,"
written by Miss Kate Field, in a loving and
intelligent spirit, and which promises to be
very Interesting. "Were they Crickets?" is
an account of the mysterious disappearance
of a young man, who was spirited away by
the ghost of Copernicus to the planet Mars,
where he encountered strange creatures and
wonders .greater than those told by Peter
ilkins, and after several years' sojourn
W
there, was brought safely back to his father'si
house, with specimens of Martial minerals,
vegetables, dm., in his pockets! It is inge
niously and cleverly written. "Madam
Waldborough's earriage," by J. T. Trow
bridge, is a good stpry, the scene of which
lies in Paris. "Sainte Beuve" is the subject
of an admirable essay by John Foster Kirk,
the historian of Charles the Bold. "A
Struggle for Shelter," by Miss C. P. Hawes,
is a pleasant article on the expenses of living
in this country. Mr. G.Reynolds contributes
a well written article on the Insurrection in
Jamaica. The political paper of the number
is entitled "The President and. Congress,"
and takes sides with the latter. "Doctor
Johns," "The Chimney Corner," and "Grif
fith Gaunt" are continued. There are three
poems : one by Dr. Holmes, called "My
Annual," addressed to his. college class
mates ; one by Liurgfellow, called "Shot at
the Ford:" and one by . Mr. Charles G.
Leland, called "De Spiriclione Episcopo," in
which an incident told of an old Bishop of
Cyprus is narrated in admirable blank
verse. The number is, as 'a whole, quite up
to the usual standar&
"Our Young Folks," also published by
Ticknor & Fields, is also excellent this
month. Every article is illustrated, and
young people will derive from its pages in
struction as well as entertainment.
renianism in New Brunswick.
ST. Joitx, N. 8., Saturday, March 17.
Gov. Gordon yesterday sent a message to'
the New Brunswick Legislature, in which
he said, that although the American Govern
ment had given satisfactory assurances that
its agents would permit no raiding partieS
to:cross into the Provinces, yet their vigi
lance might be, eluded, therefore some por
tions of the Provincial Militia should be
called out to protect :the Province from in
sult. Money would be required to support
the necessary force. The House of Assem..
bly passed unanimously a resolution in re.:
ply to the message, placing the whole revet
nue of the Provinoe at the disposal of the
Government - for purposes of defence. All
military stations, warehouses, dm., in St.:

The Mexican' Question.
[Paris Correspondence of the London, Newa , March 11.]
Mr. Seward's anxiously-expected de
spatch in answer to that of M. Dronyn de
Lhnys has arrived in Paris. I have reason
to think that the 'contents will be deemed
satisfactory by the French Government.
The Amerfcan Minister of Foreign Affairs,
without in any way retracing or modifying
any position he has heretofore taken on the
Mexican question, will,. I believe, be found
to have disclaimed any intention on the
part of the United States to interfere in
Mexico after the departure of the French
army, in terms which will be considered
sufficient to warrant the Emperor in carry
ing out his promise of a speedy evacuation.
Upon the whole, therefore, the diplomltic
aspect of the Mexican difficulty may be
safely described as promising. I should
not, however, be at all surprised - to find
later that the prolongation of the French
occupation on one. excuse or another,
might lead fresh complications.
Colonization of Yucatan.
[Paris Correspondence of the London Star.j
La Paix and L'Escant, both of which are
Belgian papers, announce that in the official
circles in Belgium the question of organizing
the colonization of part of Yucatan is se
rionsly discussed. The idea originated with
Empress Charlotte, and was the object of
her recent voyage. It is further stated that
Her Majesty has drawn up a pro e of
reciprocal services between um and
Mexico, which is now under the considera
tion of the Belgian Government.

Private Prowarty.at Sea—The Debate in ,
the House of Mansions.
[From McLendon Timm March 5.]
If the speech of the Attorney-General in
the debate of Friday last was not conclu
sive, it was only because the argument ad
mitted of no absolute conclusion. We are
asked by Mr. Gregory and his friends to
surrender what has been hitherto considered
a most powerful instrument of war in Brit
ish hands. The only reason for such a sur- ,
render is, that as things now stand we
should be gainers rather than losers by the
transaction. It is somewhat obvious to re
mark that if such were really the case, the
losers—that is to say,
_Other oonntries—
would not be eager to assent to the proposal;
but the fact is, that nobody can possibly say
what, under the piesent condition of navi
gation and commerce, would be the course
or incidents of a great naval war. All we
can do is to examine the question as care
fully as possible, and weigh without preju
dice the considerations which are presented
to us in favor of the proposed revolution.
This the Atterney-General did, and with a
result which, in our opinion, established
their lightness in the balance.
The real question to be considered in the
interests of the State is the probable balance
between our loss and our gain in the event
contemplated by the advocates of change.
If we agree and undertake in all future
wars to abstain from interrupting or de,
stroying thecommerce of our enemy, it must
also be agreed and undertaken on the part
of other Powers to abstain from interrupt
ing or destroying the - commerce of this
country; and the assumption is that, as ours
is the greatest commerce in the world, we
must needs be gainers by such a bargain,
That assumption it is impossible either ab
solutely to sustain or absplutely to refute,
and Sir Bounden Palmer said all that could
be said when he distinguished class interests
from - public interests in the question, and
showed what a peculiar and incalculable
element of national strength we were re
_quested to-surrender. It , is true that we
have the greatest commerce in the world,
but it is also true that we have the
most pdwerful navy in the world. We
could unquestionably sweep the merchant
men of any enemy from the seas. It is not
so sure, on the other hand, that any enemy
could do as much for us. Too much has
been made out of the example of the
Alabama and her *consorts. Those vessels
could never have done what they did butfor
the complete diversion to other purposes of
the cruisers which should have pursued
them. The naval strength of the United
States was concentrated upon an enormous
blockade, which for some time absorbed,
either directly. or indirectly, almost every
vessel of their marine. Besides this, the
Federals commenced operations with a very,
weak and inconsiderable fleet, a position in
which we are not likely to be , found. We
maintain in constantefticiency such'a naval
force as would give pe, at any moment the
advantage of immediate superiority at sea.
The advantage,wineh is our chief and pecu
liar advantage, we should, to a great ex
tent; forego by assenting to the proposed
surrender,, while Nye . should obtain in re
turn only:a protection from certain partial
injuries which we have known how, to sus
, tain_before, and whichi in some degree at
any rate, we could avert by our own power,
without any such sacrifice. Our losses, his
short, by the proposed transaction would be
both certain and serione, for .we should go
war with one, arm crippled. Oar gains
would be uncertain and partial, for we
shduld merely see, particular' interests ex
empted, from disturbances, and that at the,
cost of leaving' :particular classes -without.
any motive for desiring peace or avoiding
war. - ;
The Attorney-General appealed to the'
example of the late war in America, aud it
would indeed be difficult to a and a lesson
MR 'WHOLE cm:m=lz,
more abounding with direct and pertinent
instruction. It would be no
. exaggeration
to say, that the United States Government
brought that war to a - successful conclusion
by discarding all the considerations .which
we are now pressed to observe;
. and strain
ing to the very utmost all the rights which
we are now urged to surrender. The very.
first operations of the Federals were directed
against the private property and commerce
of the insurgent States. Before all things
they interposed to prevent, the cotton plan
ters of the South from selling their property
to the manufacturers of TA , n =shire In
doing so they did, exactly what we might do
by maintaining the, present rights of war—
that is, they exposed their own glom=
merce to attackEi. In point of fac4 it was for
the moment abolutely destroyed, but to
this, in comparison with the effectual
prosecution of the war, they paid no heed
whatever. The deliberately let their com
merce go, satisfied if they could only ruin
the trade of their enemy. And that this
was the most important point of the war
both belligerents well knew. The one idea
which haunted the North was the dread of
"intervention"—in other words, such an
interference as would release the private
property of the enemy, and allow it to
fetch its price in the market. The one hope
which buoyed up the South was that- the
pressure exerted by the blockade on even
neutral Powers would bring about this in
tervention, and so enable them to buy and
sell as before. What the end was the
world has now seen., The North had all its
commerce for the time destroyed, but it ac
complished its end; and came victorious out
of the'war. No sooner was it victorious
than its commerce returned, and the sacri
fice ceased while the fruits of conquest
remained. We must be blind, indeed,
if we cannot apply the moral of a story like
that.
The Vnited States and Russia.
Merlin (Feb. )Correspondence of the London Times]
Gen. Clay, the American Minister in Rus
sia, has suended another public dinner.
This time it was the annual banquet of the
Naval Club, at Cronstadt, which supplied
him with, an opportunity for proclaiming
that Rum% and America are friends, and
are destined to become more and more in
timate as time progresses. Admirals Les
soffaki and Popoff, who commanded the
Russian fleet in the. American waters in
1864, responded to this affectionate language
with all their hearts. I find, however, that
the Tryest, the paper representing the
nobility interests in .the Russian press, has
publiabed a critical article uponthe 'after.
dinner speeches of the American Minister,
which, were it only on account of its marked
difference from the language of so many
other Muscovite journals, would repay the
trouble of extract reading. It is quite cool
towards America and has an English tone.

A telegram from Galway of Marsh 2, says
"Three casks of crude petroleum oil marked
'R. J. Q. C.,' have been found in this Dis
trict."
In the House of Lords, 012 lilonday,March
5, Lord Granville armouncied that he should
propose on Thursday that the Standing Or
ders should be suvended, in order that the
Cattle Plague bill might pass through all
its remaining stages on that day.
The Lord Chancellor moved the second
reading of the bill to make parties to a di
vorce suit capable but not compelable to
answer any, questions as to whether they
have or have not committed adultery. Lord
Chelmsford opposed the bill, and after some
discussion there was, on a division, 29 for
and 29 against the bill. The Lord Chan
cellor, following his usual practice, was
compelled to declare the own motion to be
negatived.
In the House of Commons on Monday,
March 5, in reply to questions,the Consellor
of the Excheliner said that the Reform Bill,
of which he had given notice for March 12,
would only apply to England and Wales.
but he hoped on that day to be able to state
what course would be taken with regard to
Scotland and Ireland. The returns, had
been substantially complete for some time
past, and would probably be published by
Saturday.
The House then went into Committee of
Supply, and the vote of 15,362,400, army es
timates, was agreed to after some discus
sion.
The Prinoess Helena's annuity bill was
read a third time and passed.
The Prince Alfred's annuity bill was com
mitted pro forma.
The Times says of the coming Reform
bill : "Mr. E. Crawford, M. P., had an in
terview with Earl Russell on Monday to
present resolutions, unanimously adopted
at a public riveting in Ayr, in favor of a
substantial measure of reform—extension
of the franchise, redistribution of seats, and
increased representation for Scotland."
The Times says of Fenianism: "The police
have been watching and searching all sorts
of craft in the Bay of Dublin in the hope of
finding Stephens. •
A telegram from Dublin of March , sth
says : The only arrests reported to-day are
six in Belfast and two in Cork. A sharp

A French View of Eenlanism.
A chronicle of political affairslor the past
month could not be well completed in the
Revue des Deux Mondes without a notice of
FeDialaiSlll. After remarking how in Eng
land the practical sense of people in autho
rity is found more in the House of Commons
than in a Cabinet and mentioning the sus
pension of the habeas • corpus in Ireland for
six months, the writer continues: '
No doubt this strange conspiracy and this
rabid 'perseverance of the .Fenlims do not
present any serious danger to the United
Kingdom, but they , lay an infirmity which
still subsists in our day. 'That infirmity
may be noticed withoutvffence to the politi
cal men of the, present generation, who are'
entirely blameless for the evils -which these,
movements in Ireland reveal to us.'They
English statesmen of our time have ,
wished , . to be -just : tolreland, • and:
have been, truly liberal toward her.'
Ireland has:been admitted to all the :liber
ties possessed by England; bat the two
, ,
races are suhjected a strange heritage of
hatred and a mysterious reversionoffaults.
One curious circumstance is that the natu
ral enmity of Ireland to England,which has
disappeared among the enlightened and
well-to-do classes, who might be expected
to have cherished longer the, memory of the
injustlce"of British domination, is, ,on the
contrary, perPetuated as an instinct which
is still deep-rooted in the hearts of the
lower classes of the people. It is from the
people that the Fenians have issued; from a
.people who mast indeed be - vindictiveoince
their representatiies, even after glutting
.their own country for another, employ
the means, they have acqnired _ in
America in crganiAng premeditated ven
getome against those whom they, still de
test as the oppressors of their race. The
Irish exodus was intelligible. The Irish'
went to seek more remunerative employ.
went and a more comfortable existence, in
America and. Australia; bat ,it was never
thought that, once fixed in those distant
countries, they would preserve a spirit of
national organization, and return as ene
mies; disquieting if not formidable, against
those whom they regard as the unjust
rulers of their country, which in body only
they had quitted while their souls remained
still there. This moral and political phe
nomenon suggests terrible thoughts.
Against this Fenian,conspiracy now secret
in Ireland; but open and public in the.
United States, the English Government is
obliged to take defensive precautions, for
which it has obtained the assent of Parlia
ment.
The material danger will be removed, but
for the moral evil other remedies are re
quired. We do not know if there be any
effective ones • anyhow, we cannot but ap
plaud the sentiments expressed byMr.Bright
in the passage of his speech on the sus
pension of the habeas corpus, when he im
plored the leaders of parties in the House to
leave their dissensions and conthine their
talents and influence to remove the remnant
of the grievances of Ireland. The most ap
parent of these grievances is the temporal
establishment possessed by the Anglican
Church in Ireland. When Feniaiiista is put
down it will be necessary to reform that es
tablighment, which is a standing - Outrae on
the religions faith of the majolity or the
Irish people."

A FORTUNE TELLER.—There is said
to be a famous fortune-teller in this city,
who is becoming very popular with a
certain class of fast young men. She is
accompanied by her daughter, a beau
tiful and accomplished young lady of
sweet sixteen or thereabouts. The
prophetess puts up at a first-class hotel,
and carries a high head. One of her
modes of operating is something in this
fashion :
Mr. Jones, a young man of wealth,
had his curiosity excited by the wonder
ful stories told of the seeress. He calls
to see her,just to gratify hls curiosity,
but pretends that he wants his fortune
told. The old lady goes into the clair
voyant State (not yet admitted into the
Union) and among other things tells
Jones that there is a'certain, young - lady
who is deeply in lOve with him. Jones
feels himself growing credulous, and
knowing himself to be a great lady
killer, thinks the old lady is not so much
of a humbug • after all. The fortune
teller proceeds to describe the young
lady as a captivating creature, with a
form like a fairy's and a soul formed for
love and delight. By this, time Jones is
a firm . believer in astrology, clairvoy
ance, chiromancy' and every other
mancy, and is more than ever satisfied
that ne is an irresistible fellow. The
hag, having wound Jones up to the
proper pitch, informs'him that on a cer
tain day the enchanted young lady will
appear at the dinner table, wherehe can
sit near her and make her acquaintance.
Jones is delighted. He pays the fortune
teller double'her usual price,
hurries oil
to his room, and spends an hour ad
miring himself in the glass. The joyful
day comesround; Jones fixes himself
up ituhis most killing style, and at the
first tap of the`dinner gong, hurries into :
the ordinary. There he'findsthe . young;
lady seated, and looking :even more
beautiful than she had been painted'by
the old siren. He seats himself near her;l
they exelange glances;thelyoung 'lady
blushes; Jones feels_ his , heart knocking
against his waistcoat, and his toes tingle
as though they had been frost-bitten.
P. L. FEMERSTON. Tha
DOUBLE SHEET, THREE CENTS.
The affair ends to Jones' satisfaction; he
meets his charmer frequently ' and. hlic
month's salary is soon spent..As soon
as his cash gives out, the young lady's
- affections grow cold, and she , is _not "at
home" to Jones. The spelLis at last
broken, and Jones now knows thatthe
old fortune-teller is not only a huMbug,
but something worse.—St. Louis' Re
