THE FINE ARTS.
REWITTION 01' TILE ARTISTB' VI:ND
The neat galleries of the Artists' Fund Society,
at No. 124 Chestnut street, opened on Saturday
evening to a throng of Invited guests, of both
sexes, the occasion being one of the Society's
always pleasant and popular receptions. It was
a quiet, cheery gathering of some of the most
cultivated people of Philadelphia, and the ear
caught everywhere fragments of piquant criti
cism. while the eye was being charmed with
form and color.
The oil-pictures of the Fund Society propdr,
filling the third gallery, include about thirty new
paintings, some of them conspicuous for size
and ability. The first two rooms are hueg with
the collection of the "American Society of Paint
era in Water Colors," which, having been de
layed by its New York successes, has arrived in
this city about a math later than wes expected.
and has detained the Spring Exhibition of the
ifuud hy.nbout that space of time.
These aqua:el:es reveal at least two clearly
tUal ked art-influencee, and divide themselves at a
glance into the English school rthe production
prt :numbly. of British students who have im
migrated here) and into thou., of the American.
or composite, or unbiased style. Prominent
among the former hangs the '`flaunted
by A. Fredericks, long a popular picture In Eng
land, and familiarized already among us by a
good engraving In the I,,nldort News.
We may have a space and a word for this picture
at an early day. Opposite is placed perhaps the
most prominent figure-picture, "The Cheat
Detected," a Spanish group, by Mrs. Elizabeth
Murray, whose "Milk-Scher" le attracting such
attention at Earle'a galleries. The figures in this
scene are as animated and as thorcnghly imbued
with old Iberian character as are those of the Milk-
Seller's patrons. The principal female, evidently
studied from the same model who eat for the
yourg mother, in the latter picture, is here ac
commoduting a handsome young Spaniard with
fire from her cigarette; and the group of
car d• players behind, including the su
perb Andalusian beauty who is
pointing out the fraud, form an seserablyof some
of the most central examples of Spanish character,
comprehended with the quickest intuition of a
lady-traveler. Looking at some of these ripe and
olive-colored figures, an impression comes over
us as if we had listened to some woman of intelli
gence recithig—itererecesetire4 with a woman's
musical laugh and a woman's ready trick °num

mind, among the most exquisite things ho does)

possessor, Dr. Shelton Mackenzie.
The oil paintings are creditable to the industry
and enterprise of the Fund Associates. Mr.
Thomas Moran contributes two large pictures,
his "Children of the Mountain," which attracted
the 'notice of all American visitors at the Paris
Exposition, and a late work, the "Remorse of
Cain." W. T. Richards's happiest effort is a study
of buildings in Naremburg, done in three or four
hours, we have heard, and one of his best works.
The most striking of Mr. J. L. Williams's trio. of
landscapes is the "Lake of Como," hung too high
to be quite apppreciated. Among Mr. Faulk
ner's works we observe a gay painting, "Glenis
lorraine River," and among the portraits of J. R.
Lembdin heads of Bishop Melivaine and .Major-
General Harteock. — We merely indicate the sub
jects of these pictures, reserving their merits for
future comment.

CRIME.
Heavy Express Robbery In Chicago—
s2o,ooo titolen.
[From the Chicago Republican, 4th Ind.]
One of the heaviest express robberies that was
ever perpetrated in this section of the country
has just come to light, and the particulars of
which were developed at the police court yester
day afternoon. J. 11,, Whittaker, one of the old
est messengers of the Merchants' Union Express
Company, and M. 0. S. Herbert, keeper of a sa
loon and billiard hall on Randolph street, are
charged with being the perpetrators of the rob
bery. The former, at the time of his arrest last
night. was express messenger on the day train of
the Chicago, Alton and St. Louie railway.
It appears that about six weeks ago another
express messenger, a friend of Whittaker's, took
hint to Herbert's saloon, known as the Congress
Hall, and gave him an introduction to the pro
prietor. This messenger's name is Lewis. Her
bert became very sociable indeed, and invited
Whittaker to take drinks with him, which invi
tation was accepted, each was mutually pleased
with the other, and found companionship very
agreeable. From that time, the two men, Her
bert and Whittaker, were, when the latter was off
duty and in town, in company. About two
weeks since. Herbert made arrangements with 4
his friend to meet him in St. Louis.
The 7 eneold re took place as agreed upon, and
Herbert was lavish in his expenditure of money
for the entertainment of his acquaintance. On
the evening of the day on which the meeting
took place in St. Louis, the two men went for a
-st elk on Fourth street. During the promenade
various topics for conversation wpm indulged in,
,MODR them the ups and downs of life, and
the various modes pursued by persons to earn
• • heir bread. Herbert was of the opinion that
Whittaker worked too hard for his living.
and ought, with his experience and supe
tior attainments, to be able to procure an
asier
_situation and get more pay. Whittaker
was much impressed with his friend's views and
sera:mcnts cn the subject, which were of great
egth, tied would occupy more space than we
can afford for their publication. Before the in
terview had closed, Herbert bad paved the way in
Whittaker's mini in a manner suitable to the per s
section of his designs, which will appear here-
Ater, and his victim was almost prepared for any
-re urgency. The day after the Fourth street walk,
Whittaker had to return to Chicago in charge of
eis parcels, and Herbert accompanied him in the
car. During the journey, Whittaker mentioned/
to Herbert that he had a very large
sum of money in his custody, when the former
replied to the effect that if he were in a similar
position he would "go for it." Whittaker, how
ever, it would seem, remained honest for the
time, and in due course the train arrived in Chi
sago. After having performed the requisite duty
of reporting his arrival at headquarters, Whitta
ker, accompanied by his friend,went to an oyster
saloon on State street, near Monroe. While there
he made propositions to Whittaker about rob
bing the express packages which the latter car
ried during hie trips to and from and between
this point and fit. Louis. The matter
was talked over at great length,
and on Wednesday the two met in St. Louis, and
Whittaker again returned to Chicago on Thurs
day. On that day he had $3,000 intrusted to his
care. This sum he handed to Herbert, who pre
tended to have come down to the station pur
posely for, and as if it belonged to him. Lie re
ceived it in a valise lOW which it had been placed
by Whittaker. The latter subsequently returned
to St. Louis and then came back to Chicago,
this time with $17,000 in his. possession. On his
arrival Herbert met him as usual. On ap
proaching the train he asked Whittaker if he had
a valise addressed to."J. A. Walker," from St.
Louis. He received a reply in the aflirmative,and
a few seconds afterwards had the valise in ques
tion handed to him. In order to disabuse the
minds of the bystanders of any' suspicion they
might entertain he gave Whittaker iffy ceata
for his 'trouble." This valise contained the
$17,000. With the package in his possession he
went to the Briggs House, while Whittaker re
paired to the Express office to make his return.
Soon after having transacted the latter piece of
basiness, he joined Herbert, and the two counted
out theimoney. With the first $3,000 Herbert
bought several articles, among them a snit of
clothiag, a diamond-ring, gold watch and chain,
all of which he gave to his dupe. He also pur
chased two tickets over the Michigan Southern
railroad for Detroit.
While all this was going on, Mr. E. M. Cooper,
Division Superintendent of the Merenauts' Union
Express Company, had been informed that a
robbery had taken place on the road, and that
another would probably be perpetrated shortly.
Ile telegraphed to St. Louis, and asked the
amounts forwarded to Chicago, and again to
Springfield, inquiring as to what money had
been put off there on Thursday. The reply he
received from the latter point was simply
"none." Whittaker, it appears, had asked
. for a few days leave of absence, in order
to go on a visit to Janesville, Wls , but
Mr. ,Cooper had not granted it. He became con
vinced that a robbery had been committed, and
yesterday left word at the office that if Whittaker
came in he was to leave the key of his desk there.
He, however, did not come, and a key being pro
• cured, it was discovered that no bills had recently
been registered, and that there was no return
whatever in Chicago of the St. Louis money
packages. Mr. Cooper at once hastened to Allan
Pinkerton, and informed him of the circum
stances. About ten o'clock the two gen
tlemen, accompanied by some officers, visited
the Briggs House, having ascertained that
Whittaker was staying there. They knocked at
the door. For some time no answer was given.
Finally, and after considerable shuffling in the
interior, the bolt was withdrawn and the visitors
entered. Both Herbert and Whittaker were there.
On a table and covered up with newspapers and
a pillow, which latter had boon hastily snatched
from the bed, lay $17,000 in greenbacks, a num
ber of gold watches, chains, diamond 'legs, and
$1,140 in geld coin; also the two Detroit tickets.
The valuables were seized and the thieves ar
rested.
On being 'arraigned at the Armory, they were
remanded each in ball of $15,000.
It is not known how much money has 'been
stolen altogether, but it is surmised that the
total amount will fall very little short 0f.530,000.
Consignors and consignees of missing cash have
been requested to send' in their names so that the
amount can be determined.
, Whittaker's parents reside in California, and
are said to be highly respectable. Ho is only 22,
years of age, white his tempter, Herbert, must be
close upon 40. He, no doubt, was dragged into
ruin by the latter.
Bold Attempt at Bank flolbbery—Cap.
turn of one of tbelrinalnia.
From the Galesburg (III.) Pleas, of April 23
On Wednesday afternoon a very bold but un
successful attempt was made to rob the Second
National Bank. Mr. T. P. Hicks was alone in
the office, located on the northwest corner of
Main and , Cherry:Streets, at• thatr time, and the
that thing he knew of anything suspicious, two
persons, one a medium sized man and a smaller
and yonngerone, entered at the front door, and,
after trying to get behind the counter by passing
through a aide door, which they foind
locked, walked toward ,Mr. Welts,
the smaller of the pair asking if
"tho banker was in," while ids ; companion drew
a revolver. Mr. Hicks, seeing at, a glance what
was up, ran to the place where be kept his re•
solver, end as he stooped to reach it, his head
being just below the heavy counter, the man
took deliberate aim and filed at him, but without
Lilting him. A second shot was fired while the
attacking party were in the bauk, but with
reeult, when Mr. Hicks com
menced to shout r "murder" lustily, and
they ran for the door. As they took their
departure. their pistols in their hands, a
young rum a clerk in Aferrill's clothing store, ,
tired upon them. His bullet struck close but
did not wound therm Before city one could
prevent they succeeded in crossing Cherry street
to the front of Calkins Bristol's shoe store,
where they had previothly hitched two fast
horses which they had hired at Thomas's livery
stable. The younger of the two escaped half a
dozen hands that were atone time almost upon
his collar, mounted WS, horse and rode . away,
firing a shot at Mr. Barnum, a robust citizen,
who, bad he got agrasp en one of them, would
never have allowed him to escape. The shot
struck in dangerous proximity to Barnum's feet,
but did no damage. The other man did not come.
off as well, but eluded the dozen persons who
were after him, ran north on Cherry street a
couple of blocks, turned to the right and soon
thereafter was caught and brought to the lock
up. His voung comrade succeeded in getting
off, riding young
in a westerly direction. He
was followed by a number of men on horseback,
but he bad too much the start and reached the
timber near Henderson '
. where trace of him for
the time was lost. The Mayor has offered $lOO
for his capture, and hopes are entertained that
he may yet be taken.

The Defeated Ministry—Will Partin.-
'trent be Dissolved?
(From the London Observer, March tal
We understand that in the event of thergovem
ment being defeated on the motion of Mr. Glad
stone relative to the* disendowment of the Irish
Church, Mr. Disraeli will recommend her Majes
ty to dissolve Parliament, with the view of per
mitting the country to express an opinion on . a
subject of such grave importance. The attempt
to deal with a question of so much Importance
by an abstract resolution of the House does not
, meet with the approval of several leading
members of the Liberal party, and consider
able difficulty has been experienced in deciding
upon the precise terms. While on the one hand it
may be considered inconvenient to take the
sense of the House on the abstract resolution it
will be contended on the other that the last ses
sion of a moribund Parliament is not lit to deal
with suds a question, and that the whole subject
should be remitted to the consideration of a Par
liament elected upon a broader basis of the Eng
lish Reform acts of last session and the Scotch
and Irish Reform bills to be passed during the
present session. Such is the Ministerial argu
ment in the matter.
The Gladstone Resolutions att Adopted
by Parliament.
1. That in the opinion of this House it is ne
cessary that the Established Church of Ireland
should cease to exist as as establishment; duo
regard being bad to all personal interests and to
all individual rights of property.
2. That, subject to the fcregoing considera

new personal interests by the exercise of any
public patronage, and to confine the operations
of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners of Ireland to
objects of immediate necessity or involving indi
vidual rights,pending the final decision of Parlia
ment.
3. That a humble address be presented to ker
Majesty, humbly to pray that, with a view to the

Serious Troubles at Bordeaux—Effect
of the New Army Biii—Further About
the 7 oulouse Riots —Disaffection
Among the Students ut Lyons.
[Paris (March 22) Correnead.cuce London Daily News.]
The National Guard troubles at Toulouse have
been followed by some still more serious at
Bordeaux. On Ilarnh 21, a numerous band
paraded the Ruc de la Tresorerle, singing the
Marseillaise. The Commissary of Police of
the quarter presented himself and attempted
to take away a red flag carried by , one
of the party. A *wildly. ensued and the Com
missary was badly knoelfed about. A grocer,who
came to the aid of the officer of justice, with an
iron rod in his hand, was disarmed and beaten.
Subsequently the police made several arrests. lu
Ow St. Nicholas quarter a ~e)went dr, rill,' was ill
treated. On the 22d the young men ordered to ap
pear before the Council of Revision in the Place
enemy presented themselves with big carrots in
their button-holes and in their hands. These pacific
emblems of agriculture threw ridicule on the pro
ceedings, and provoked great guffaw's from the
crowd. The pollee showed themselves in groat
force everywhere, and many agents went about
in plain clothes. In the Place Tourny a picket
of regular troops was obliged to aid the police.
These disturbances of the 21st and 22d took
place subsequently to the trial, on the
20th, by the Tribunal of Correctional Po
lice, of three young men arrested for
singing the '"lilarseillaise," and crying "Viva la
republique" on the 19th. One of these, who ex
cused himself for carrying a red flag on the
ground that he had seen one paraded in the streets
on the day before, which nobody interfered with,
was sentenced only to four days' imprisonment,
but the two others, one of wnonci publicly ha
rangued the mob, and spoke against the Army
bill, very sentenced respectively to three months'
and ono month's imprisonment.
The Debar, which has been at especial pains to
ascertain the truth about the troubles at Tort
louse, ridicules the statement of the Etendard that
members of secret societies and, discharged con
\lets conducted the movement. "Simple foreign
laders who accept to 'the letter the assertions
of this semi-official print must acquire a
very incorrect idea of the state of France."
The convict class is not strong enough to. hold
in check the authorities of a great city for
forty-eight hours. The truth is (says the *as)
that the tunitiltuous scenes which occurred in
Toulouse were not eta ,result of any concerted
plan, but did undoubtedly represent a great
amount of dissatisfaction long prevailin in that
city from various 'causes. There is, h owever,
much exaggeration in the published--accounts.
The red spoken of was only a:handkerchief
which a young-man piissing.by atdatighter•house
dipped in bullmlea , blood c ' and afterwards stuck
on the ..st stick. His companicas'soon
made him • take the': hideous - rag down.
The irritation produced very generally in
the south of France by the Army bill was only
the match which set fire to a mass of inflammable
matter long accutilithiting in Toulouse. The
municipal council, elected by a large majority,
w`.B diSsolved. The extensive public works
which that council opposed, and which are very
unpopular in the town, are obstinately carried
on by the agents of the executive. The repre
sentative of the central canton of Toulouse in the
Council4kneral has been dead for more than E;IX
months, and,yet the government, in open viola
tion of the law, will not convoke a poll for the
election or a successor becaUse it well knows an
opposition candidate would be chosen. Fur
thermore, the new electoral circumscriptions
have cut up Tbulouse in such a manner that the
town, swamped by large country districts, can
no longer hope to be directly represented in the
Corps Legislatif. These arc same of the reasons
why discontent is general In Toulouse.
The Veterinary school of Lyons has been
solved in consequence (it is rumored, though fall
particulars have not come to hand) of the stu
dents baying publicly refused to join in a regula
tion "Domino salytnici fac imperatorem."
Revolutionary Placards; at Rennes.
PARIS March 23.—The Patric of this evening

The Loneon correspondent of the New York
Time.: has these paragraphs:
A rew sensation in photography. Bismarck
and Lucca set the fashion of grouping celehri•
ties. - Then we bad Dumas and Alenkeu. Our
latest curie is the poet Swinbarne, and the poetess
and actress Menke'', in several pretty positions.
The Pull Nall is dreadfully shocked about it. It
says "a lower deep could not be found." I
really cannot see it. Swinburtie is a poet of
undoubted gLnius, who like many other poets,
has written some scandalous verses. So did
Dryden, Pope, Byron, Moore, Shelley. Miss
Menlien is also a genius, wild, disorderly, Bohe
mian no doubt, but still a genius, as an actress
and a poet. She has a volume of poems in press,
and 3,lr.Swinburne has given them some editorial
supervision. If it pleases them to have 'their•
portraits on the same curls; and suits their res
pective or .mutual admirers to purchase them,
where is the barn) ? If they do nothing worse
than that, even so virtuous a journal as the Pull
ought to be satisfied. •
The rising man, I would' say the
coming man in English Liberal politics,.
if he were not already here, is Mr.Goldwiti Smith,
who curiously unites the strongest qualities of
English and American Radicalism.. He has just
written a letter to a Manchester paper, chiefly on
the life and character of the present Prime Min
ister of England. "Once in my life," says Mr.
Smith, "1 have felt the sensation of loy
alty." Once. "It was when I stood in the pres
ence of Abraham Lincoln. But," he continues,
though 1. do not precisely see the force of the
disjunctive, "the illustrious workingman of Illi
nois had risen to the height on which he stood by
treading stainlessly the steep path of honor."
Then he goes on about Mr. Disraeli. His
triumph is a triumph over public morality.
Re 'supplanted his rival by a vile intrigue,
as vile tetany .that mines the annaic of
political faction. During forty years his name
has never been connected with any generous sea
tinient, or anything conducive to the public goad.
lie has risen by _personal invective. by con
spiracy, by using the arsenic which kills noble
reputations. He has made his way by serving
the lowest passions' of the aristocracy as the me
nials who stood at its portals would have scorhed
to do. Me would have ronaitied ob
scure and impotent had not the aris
tocracy wanted a dagger to stab that traitor to
their interest, Sir Robert Peel. He accepted the
wages of political assassination. - The aristocracy
have given the headship of the nation to their
bravo. He has made a tool of Lord Derby, but
this was the work of a valet, to which the "soul
of a valet alone could stoop." On these charges
of Mr. Smith the Prime Minister will be im
peached next week, and tried, condemned and
executed the week after. Then there will be a
chance for the loyal soul of i Smith.
Daniel Malkin Obsequies in
Venice.
The Venice correspondent of the N. I'. Times
thus describes the preparations for the obsequies
of Daniel Manin
I do not know what the Venetians generally
have to talk about, but the present theme is the
ceremony of to-morrow and the succeeding day.
Preparations have for some time been going
on. The vast loggia of the Ducal Palace has
been converted into a gallery with raised seats,
from which several thousand spectators
will be able to look down upon St. Mark's
Wharf. Great funeral barges, with statues in
silver-gilt, and urns to blaze in the antique man
ner, arc got ready in large numbers, and the gon
dolas to follow in the mournful train will be
reckoned in hundreds, if not thonsamis. St.
Mark's is already lined with black and silver-gilt.
Portraits of Manin are in all the shop windows,
and his biography on all the stalls. The resem
blance of Manin to Cavour Is so great as to be at
once observed. The faces are not only of the
same type, but the features aro singularly alike
in expression.
A dais has been raised In the centre of the
square of St. Mark, upon which the body is to be
deposited during the night of to-morrow,
watched by detachments of the National Guard.
Orations are to be pronounced by those who
may have signified beforehand their wish to
speak. After such words of remembrance and
eulogy have been pronounced, the body will be
carried into the cathedral, where ,the more
strictly religions ceremonies will take place.
Every arrangement has been made for the ac
commodation of those who may come from other
places to take part, and many delegations irom
Italian cities, as well as from Franee,have already
arrived. Provinces on the opposite shore of the
Adriatic are also represented. Funeral ceremonies
were held in different cities in Italy,as soon as one
and another of the States became free, and many
streets and squares have been called after the
name of Manin.
The Venetian did not live to see the liberation
of his country, for which he had labored. This
thought gives a tenderer interest to the present
occasion in the minds of his compatriots. The
effort of Manin was directed more, perhaps, to
the independence than to the union of Italy.
Dying more than tea years ago, he was sot per
mitted to be the glad witness of the accomplish
ment of any part of the work.
Venice enjoys in the fullest degree the liberty
for which it has so long sighed, but the country
languishes, and complaints aro hoard. Ships do
not crowd the port, and there is no activity on
the quays. Earnest appeals are made, to the
Government -to spend millions to give employ
ment to laborers, and to Increase accommoda
tions for the commercial• and naval. marine.
Something - will be done at Ittet,aucl the prosperity
of the place will reviVe. Meanwhile, thelababf
tants will have to learn to labor with such means
as they have, as well as wait for neW 'entia to, bo
created. -- , Awdumco.

A Last Look.
Mom 31iBa Inaelovvta Diow Volump. I
A girl is deserted by her betrothed; he marries
another, and is about to set sail Wort her. 'Cue
deserted girl hears of his intention, and obeys
Yearning to behold once again, unknown •to
him, the idol with whom not even his perfidy
Can disenchant her. Accordingly. in the comp,iny
of one who knows her secrets,,slui wends up the
river:
, .
I only the stars—l could not see
The river—and they seem'd to lie . •
As far below as the other stars were high.
I trembled like a thing aboht to die;
It was so awful 'neath the majesty
Of that great crystal height, that overhung
The blackness at our feet,
Unseen to fleet and fleet
The flocking stars among, • •
And only hearithe dipping at the oar,
And the small waves caressing of the darkseale
shore.
Less real it was than any dream.
9b, me! to hear the beading willow shiver,, '
As we shot quickly from the silent river,
And felt the swaying and the tow
That bore us down the deeper, wider stream,
Whereto its nameless waters go; ,
Oh ! shall always, when I shut mine eyes,
See that weird sight again;
The lights from Andy:it'd vessels hung;
The phantom moon, that. sprung
Suddenly up in dim and angry wise.
From tite rim o' the moaning main,
And touched with elfin light
The two long oars whereby we made our flight
Along the reaches of the night;
Then furrow'd up a lowering cloud,
Went in, and left us darker than before,
To feel - our - way as the midnight watches wore.
And- lie in Iff:R cur:. with mouthful faces bow'd,
That should receive and bear with her away
The brightest portion of my sunniest day—
'l'b laugh ter of the laud, the sweetest of the
shore: .• •
Abe I beheld thee; saw the lantern flash .
Donn on thy face, when thou didat climb the
side.
Ana thou wert.pale, pale as the patient bride
'lliat followed : both a little ead,
Leaving of home and kin. Thy courage glad;
That once did bear thee on,
That brow of thine had lost: the fervor rash
Of nu foreboding youth thou hadst foregone..
Oh ; what a little moment, what a crumb
Of comfort for a heart to feed upon !
And that was all its sum;
Aglimpse and not a meeting—
•A drawing near by night,
To sigh to thee an acknowledged greeting,
And all between the flashing of a light
Audits retreating;
Then after, ere she sped her waiting wings—
The ship—and weighed her anchor to depart,
We stoic from her dark lee like guilty things;
And there was silence in my heart.
•And silence in the upper and the netherdeep.
,0 sleep ! 0 sleep !
Do not forget me. Sometimes come and sweep,
Now I have,nothing left, thy healing hand
Over the lids that crave thy visits bland,
Thou kind, thou comforting one;
For I have seen his face, as I desired
And all my story's done.
