The advertisement of Mr. B. Scott, Jr., on
our last page, will attract attention and ex
cite interest among lovers of the fine arts.
He will this evening commence, at A. S.
Robinson's store, 910 Chestnut street, the
sale of one of the finest collections of paint
ings ever offered to the public in America.
There are specimens of many of the most
distinguished artists of Europe, besides
many of this country. Some are rare works
by famous men now deceased. They have
all been selected by Mr. Robinson with
great care, and his well-known taste is a
guarantee that nothing inferior will be of
fered.
The collection has been visited by many
of our readers,and there are hundreds visit
ing it to-day. This makes it unnecessary
that we should refer to many of the works
in detail. We may instance No. 174, "The
Road," by Calame, one of the few un
doubted originals in this country
by that famous Swiss landscape
painter, now deceased. No. 169, "The
Hireling Fleeth," by J. C. Morris, is a
splendid animal painting by one of Land
seer's best pupils. No. 179, "Winter in
Holland," by T. Shurt, of Amsterdam, is
fine in tone and atmosphere. No. 160, "The
Soap Bubble," by Seignac, of Paris, is an
exquisite little genre painting. T. Duntre,
of Dusseldorf, is represented by several
splendid landscapes, which will make a re
putation for the artist in this country.
There are two good examples of the emi
nent English landscape painter, Bodington.
Nos. 40 and 41, " Black Grapes" and
" White Grapes," by Mario, of Paris, are
splendid specimens of fruit painting. Frag
nean, Boucbez, Vanseverdonk, Litschauer,
Von Seben, Ramie, Pichel, Meyer of Bre
men, and other celebrated French and Ger
man artists are well represented.
Among the American artists who have
works in the collection are Haseltine, Hamil
ton, T. Moran, E. Moran, B. D. Lewis, Geo.
F. Bensel], Brown, of New York, H. C.
Bispham, Paul Weber, and others. We may
expect that the sale will attract as large an
attendance as that assembled at the recent
sale by Messrs. Earle, which, under Mr.
Scott's direction, netted over thirty thousand
dollars.
The exhibition of " A Storm in the Rocky
Mountains," the last great work of Mr.
Bierstaldt, has already been announced.
With much liberality and patriotism, the
artist has made this contribution to the Lin
coln Institution, the new Home for the
Orphans of our Soldiers and Sailors, just
opened in our city. Very few of our citi
zens have yet had an opportunity to inspect
this superb work of art, and as it is soon to
go to its purchaser in England, this will
probably be the only chance to see it.
Messrs. Wenderoth,, Taylor it Brown have
fitted up a gallery for its exhibition, and
the exquisite beauty of the picture, com
bined with.the excellehce of the object for
which it is to be exhibited, will, no doubt,
attract crowds of visitors. It isuniversally
conceded that in grandeur and tenderness of
expression, the " Storm in the Rocky Moun
tains" excels either of Bierstadt's preceding
works. The subject is a scene in Colorado,
about eighty miles from Denver City. No
description can give any adequate concep
tion of the grand combination of cloud and
mountain and valley; of lake and grove
and cascade that enter into this magnificent
landscape. The dark thunder-clouds are
sweeping across one portion of the scene,
while birds and flowers are rejoicing in the
sunshine which has not yet been obscured
by the coming storm. The picture must be
seen, to be at all appreciated. The exhibi_
tion will be opened on the 21st inst., and
will continue open for a few weeks. •
The programme for the Concert of Thurs
day afternoon comprehends three of the
most noted compositions of the modern
classical school—Mendelssohn's Trio for
piano, violin and violincello, opus 49; Hum
mel's Grand Concerto for piano, opus 113;
and Schumann's Quintette, opus 44, for
piano and string instrume.pits.
Mr. Jarvis, on this occasion, will have the
valuable aid of Messrs. Gaertner, Kam
merer, Plageman, Schmitz and Albrecht,
all excellent executants on their respective
hustruments, and conscientious musicians.
In recalling to memory the five proceed
ing concerts of this series, it is pleasant to
dwell in thought on the many gems of high
art that have been presented: The musical
taste for this style of compositions is
not so general as the true lover of
art might wish; but still the num
ber grows, and it is mainly owing to
Mr. Jarvis' indomitable energy, excellent
judgment and inimitable skill, that the good
work goes on, picking up adherents, "here
a little, there a little ! " We hope Mr. Jarvis
will continue his annual series of classical
concerts, for they offered an admirable and
most agreeable school of instruction.
Sale of Italian statuary.
Mr. B. Scott, Jr., will have another art
sale on Friday morriing, at his store, No.
1020 Chestnut street. He will sell a fine col
lection, imported by Viti Brothers, of Xta-
Han marble parlor and garden statuary,
vases, monumental figures, &c. There is an
exquisite reduced copy of Power's Greek
Slave in the collection, which is now ones
hibition and attracting many visitors to the
store.

an engagement fot five years at the Imperial

during that time. He gets that large salary
because he can sing songs in Faure parts.

THE BURNING OF PORT AU PRINCE.

Fire-4 Terrible Scene—One Thousand
Mouses Destroyed—Eight Thousand
People Houseless. .
[Correspondence Cleveland Herald.]
Por.i At PlLLlZZ7t,lllarch steamier for New
York has not yet arrived, and I have time to write you
a brier account of tae dreadful mistbrtuae which has
befallen these poor people—the almost entire destruct
Lion of the city of Port an Prince by fire, It happened
on Monday morning, the 19th inst. We had lust
arrived in the city from our little country place. about
7 o'clock in the scorning, when the alarm of fire was
raised and before we could run to the scene, it was
sweepiag with terrific fury right through the heart of
the cit. It broke out in the most thi stat Zed
trict a n d ckly a strong breeze from the land swept it toward
the sea.
The houses were as dry as tinder, parched ibr many
month, by the hot tropical sun. it being the dry season
at thin time, and the least spark on the shingle roof,
was rufilcient to set them in a blaze. Such a scene of
conftudon and :terror I•never before witnessed. The
inmates had barely time to catch a fewarticlee and
rnn for their lives. Many were still in bed and n-
taped with nothing but their night clothes. The wo
nna were running through the streets screaming.
many of them half clothed, and the men were entirely
incapable of doing anything to arrest the flames, One
or two broker down eneines were found, but not oxe
could rase a stream higher than the eaves of the
houses, and there waa on water to Mel them, except
the contents of the gutters In the streets.
There was no system or order; a great many gen
erals, decked out wit h gold 'lace epaulets, were riding
furiously around running over people, and telling out
orders that were not beetled in the least. Many of the
men were engaged in pilfering the houses. and getting
drunk on the liquors which they found. Not a few
stumbled Into the tire, and were eltnar burned to
death, or crushed by falling timbers. One poor wornau
bad lost everything; and in the frenzy of the moment
rushed into the flames, and was dragged out a black
ened corpse.
In other parts of the city that were threatened, and,
In fact, all over the city, the conibsion was almost as
great. The streets were crowded with people, carry
lug their furniture and valuables where they thought
they would be secure, and rushing here and there with
panic-stricken faces.
Many of the merchants took their money and most
valuable things to the ships In the harbor, or to fire
proof buildings, and many of--them took their money
on their shoulders, in coffee bags
for lack of a safer place. , and held it there
In the meantime the fire ran with marvelous swift,
ness, and before ten o'clock it had cone from almost
the centre of the town and laid low everything in Its
track to the sea. More than two hundred houses
• ere in ashes already, and we hoped that it would
rest here. Every one believed that It had fairly spent
itself. but we were doomed to bitter disappointment.
The land breeze died away, and before long in came
the sea breeze, and fanned the smolderiug em hers Into
flames once more. A few houses that had been saved
by great exertion had to succumb to the terrible re
turning wave of fire which now, came over its former
track. It now commenced burntogeverything toward
the limits or the city, and swept on with fearflfi ra
pidity. I was struck with the seeming eagerness
with which it would leap oveisome houses and burn
those beyond first. The pee le were now absolutely
wild with terror, for it therued thougn every house
In town would be in ashes before night.
Swarms of men were drunk with stolen liquors - and
lying helplessly in the streets. The women. shrieking
with fright, with their children, and huge bundles on
their hearts, were coming to the large field just outside
of the town. huch a scene can only be imaginecL
At three o'clock in the afternoon the fire had burnt
the last horse on the edge of the town, and again died
away for want of fresh fuel. It had done (earth' work.
More than two-thirds of the city was in ashes, many
hundred ho uses destroyed, and thousands of people
made homeless. Nearly all of the principal business
houses are destroyed, and millions of dollars worth or
property. low mat y have been killed or injured Ido
not know, but I fear that the mortality is heavy.
Mar cat 26, IBM—The terrible fire of which I have
given you a short account above. has unsettled every
thing very much. About one thousand houses have
been destroyed, six or eight thousand persons rendered
homeless, and probably not less than fifteen millions
(gold) of property lest 1 t has, I fear given a mortal
blow to the prosperity of the city, and Port au Prince
is likely to become a city of the past.
A Soldiers' and Sailors' Mass Meeting at
Washington.
A despatch from Washington dated yesterday Bays:
A mass meeting of soldiers and sailors took place
to night at the Assembly Rooms, which was densely
crowded. *The °Meet was to promote Inch measures
as will secure the equalization of bomities, just pension
laws, appointments to positions under the Govern
ment, and other matters affecting the rights and inter
ests of the soldiers and sailors of the country. Gen.
erals Garfield and Smith. of the House of Representa
tives, baying made speeches in furtherance of them)
objects, General Schenck responded at length to the
resolutions adopted. He said from the
first, until now he would not compromise with trai
tors. The rebels were down, and he would keep them
so until they gate some evidence of repentance, and
united , n upholding the flag in defence of which there
had been so much sacrlike of loyal life and treasure.
He characterized as miserable scoundrels those who
had attempted to overthrow the best Government on
earth. Jefferson Davis was to be remembered and
and punished as one of the leaders of the rebellion, he
would not forget that class of traitors who were edu
cated at West Point; and if there was a second sour
apple tree, he did not see why hobertE. Lee should
not meet the same fate as the the arch. traitor of the
late so-called Confederate states. These remarks were
greeted with applause. Colonel McKee, of Kentucky,
a member of the House, said there should be no com
promise with traitors, the test oath should never
be repealed, and the Government should be kept
in the hands of loyal men. He did not mean
by loyal those who were merely otedlent to the. Co
nstitution and the laws, but those who, throughout the
rebellion, were faithful to the nag. Be would never •
permit the traitors who had perjured themselves to
hold aloe under the 'United states. He was not wil
ling to trust them with new oaths. Washington would
certainly never have invited Benedict Arnold to his
deliberations if the latter bad after his treason taken
the oath of allegi ancE. He was not malicious, but he
wanted leading rebels punished. He wanted the name
of traitor to hang to them until the soma of wint-r
covered their graves, and show that we were as strong
to hang traitors as we were strong enough to suppress
the rebellion. Colonel-Stillwell. of Indiana, and others
addressed the meeting, The last named gentleman
saying be had no doubt the present Congress would
equalize the bounties.

AVERT HAICDSOME IMPROVEMENT:—We
recently pawed through the new and beautiful resi
dence of bar. James Evans, the well-known brick
manufacturer.on Broad street.abont two squaree south
of the Baltimore railroad depot. The front which is
of four stories. Is composed of pressed brick from the
establishment of the owner, and it is claimed that no
such perfect ones have ever been used in this city. The
front is ornamented by dressings of marble over the
doors and windows, simple but very tasteful In de
sign. Thetinue to the very top of the bending.

solid oiled walnut—maasive and elaborate. The build
ing is finished with en ornamental cornice ofextreme
beauty, and the arched doorway Is an artistic gem
') be Insiee gives one a feeling of easiness and comfort.
The entrance is Into an ample hall, magniglcently
fitted up. The walls are hung with paper of pearl
color, broken by borders of blue velvet. Upon the
left a door opens into a spacious parlor, which fills up
our Idea of perfect neatness. It is thirty feet long by
fourteen In breadth. The mantle is of pure white Ver
mont marble, exquisitely tarred. the artist being Mr.
Vanderbilt, of teas elev. This Is. perhaps, the most
elaborate parlor ornament In the city. The wall paper
is of pearl and gold.
The cornice is of heavy moulding, supported by a
rich gold band. Immediately in the rear of the parlor
Is the private office of Mr. Evans, a smail,though very
neat apartment, with a door opening Into the grounds.
The dining room is finished in oak, with solid oak fur
niture. and a ruantel-pithe of less ornate description
than that in the parlor. The two kitchens, one for
summer use, are fully equipped with Chelson's ranges,
sinks, cupboards, closets, and dumb waiters, no ex
pebse baring been spared to make the building abso
lutely perfect. Tue front of the second story contains
two spacious clambers, a store-room, and a sitting
room, se by 17 feet, the finest apartment in the house.

LITERATURE 'FOR 'TEE INSANE.—A visit

two since, exhibited to us how Important a means of
management or this unfortunate cl aw of society is the
perusal of the current news of the day, and the enjoy.

losing no opportunity of obtaining accessions to this

CALers, Me., Tuesday, April 17.—A large Fenian
meeting was held at tit. e rola Hall last night, and was
addressed by Dieters. Killian and Sinnott. The former

they would respect the laws of the United States. He
said the Americans owed the Irish a debt of gratitude
for their assistance during the late struggle, and now
was their time to assist Ireland in her hour of need.
They could do this by sympathy and by furnishing
arms or the means to buy them. The Brotherhood now
embraced a million of men. It was the true poneY of
the American nation to prevent the establishment of a
monarchy north of thent, as was foreshadowed in the
British scheme of Confederation. If hose opposed to
the measure in the Provinces were to revolt on ac
count of it the Fenlans were ready to assist them,
and in doing to would be carrying out what was the
true American policy. If the Americans wanted to
rem ovesmonarchy from Mexico how much more
careful ought they to be that there is not one now es
tablished at Ottawa. He declared it to be the inten
tion of the Fenian to continue holding a convention
en the border until the confederation question was
settled. Every difficulty that arose under the British
flag gave hope to an Irish rebel, and every man that
had sucked an Irish mother was a rebel against British
tsranny. The fishery question was another which the
Fel:liana would see Justly settled, which could only be
when Great Britain gave up her unwarrantable claims.
Ile dwelt largely upon British neutrality daring the
late war, and made a strong appeal to the sympathies
of the people of Calais on this point.
applause proceeded entive, but not enthusiastic.

Mr. Sinnott made a long and ranting blood-and
thunder speech, which amounted theyothing'. Both
speakers emphatically stated that did not intend
to invade theprovir ces.
EASTPORT. 3.te„ Tuesday, April 17.—Much of the
revs sent from here in special telegrams is false.
'I here has been no fight at Calais, and there is no
Fenian privateer here. The Fenlans are perfectly
quiet, confining themselves to speech making and
anonymous proclamations.
TOROTO, V. hisTday, April 7.7.—The examina

several other arrests of Fenlans are reported here to
day. The police have given information of suspected
parties, and the arrest of all implicated will probably
soon take place.

There is a dOnslon, in semi. , weak minds, that Confec

snow upon the ground, and when the Christmas King
is about with his sleigh and "tiny reindeer." The best
medical authority holds that good Confectionery is a
very good thing at all times, and popular usage sanc
