e.„ 1111 '* ART ITEMB. —We hope that a speciality of book-Ulus nation will bo eetablishedund Philadelphia. Oar art-schools being incom parably the most developed in th ° c ° u !sf’ theeducation there conferred ought to find its reflection in an unusually severe scholarly excellence about the style designers. The simple fact is, that though Philadelphia has diploma’d some of the most brilliant draughtsmen in the country (George White, Harry Stephens), yet other cities have often absorbed them simply because foreign engravers of excellence, such as the English men Andrew and Linton, have immigrated to llew York or Boston. As for the abject subjection of the pencil to the graver, there is nb need to enlarge here upon that. We have with üb, however, at least one ■wood-engraver who can,when he tries, equal the best of them. Mr. James W. Lauder- is already favorably known for his thoroughly artistic interpretations of some of the’flnest designs issued in America. But he . has.exceUed himself in the cut intended for the Hatch number of Lippineoti'a Maga zine, fthich we believe any, competent and dißinterested crUic wpuld pronounce about thebesthatlve magazine illustration yet is auefli 1 Tie picture (illustr ating the charming tale fcy Mre. Wister,) is a, garden scene, with two of BenseU’a grotesque figares of old fbl&B bubintl some shrubbery, The : .expressive countenances of the «idrv 5 said ; the screen of trees which fbrms # tiie' background, are treated with . rp:, markable fineness and feeling. Mr. Benseu, thenttiet, and the publishers also, ought to be well satisfied with an engraver like Mr. Lau derlacb,-who kas proved that LippincotCs Monthly can be exalted among American il lustrated periodicals without any neceaaity of seiiateg tb other cities for the minutest por tion of its work. Mr: Lauderhacb could not have distin guißked himself without a fine drawing to work from. Bensell was never more happy than in this German Paul Pry and his haggish companion. The excellence we find in this draughtsman is that, unlike some,artists who draw with more fiordture, he never drifts mto a set of conventional types. Each char acter is an individual with an idiom. —■Mr. Whitney has received the large and important woodland scene n°w for long time on the eaßelof Mr. William T. Richards. W 6 do not wonder that the possessor con siders this picture the star of his newly-ar ranged gallerv, and is inviting his friends to special views’ of the treasure. There is per haps no artist living so competent as Mr. Richards to work up an elaborate botanical study of the sort. —Mr. JJailly’s atelier is being rapidly cleared of a number of his most important ■works, which are being finished together. The model of the Young Volunteer, tor Gi rard College, is being pointed in the work men’s room. That of the monumental statue to the late William E. Oresson has been taken to the foundry of Wood & Perot, to be cast in bronze by M. Bureau. The colossal Washington, now receiving the finishing touches, reigns alone in the huge atelier. Mr. Bftffehteif (Mlth statue of Grant; his model will compete, with every chance ot success, for the choice of the large bronze to be raised to the President-elect Tty subscription. —On the 30th of January Mr. Andrew H. Green, Comptroller of the Central Park, New York, signed the letter of acceptance of the fine bronze of the Indian Hunter, by J. Q. A. Ward* We are sorry to lose, from among the. attractions of our own unrivalled Park, the greatest American statue yet produced. —At theexhibition now open at the corner of Twenty-third street and Fourth avenue, N. Y.,a group of portraits by Elliott, deceased, is the principal attraction. —rMr. Hows has produced a painting of the old mansion ■in Oummington which was ttebirthplaceof William Cullen Bryant. —“The Spanish Beggars," by Gust&Vß Dore, is bn exhibitiorr atr Beavilt, Strebeigh & Company’s rooms in Clinton Hall, N. Y. The'old beggar, thinks the Evening Post, in her squalid poverty, with her wrinkled face, deformed hands and diabolical expres sion of greediness, demanded more study and observation than would have been required in putting on canvaß half a dozen of the pret tiest senoritas in Seville. The two children, also, are most wonderful—infants in years, yet posßesßing faces that are only a modifica tion of that of tbe hag under whose elbows they crouch for protection. Dore has made even the crutches prominently repulsive, by placing them at acute angles over the group - forcing the spectator to look at them, be cause they are so stiffly and formally intro duced. There is displayed in this picture an amount of study and observation of Spanish beggary—the worst type of such life—that excites admiration. —Durand has built a new residence,with a Btndio, at South Orange, New Jersey, and is about retiring thither. He thus withdraws from the ranks of New York artists. He has recently produced a large picture of a virgin American forest. —We recently re published a paper ou the Apollo Belvidere that had been translated for Littells Living Age from the German. Carl Steinhauser, it appeared from that ac count, claims to have discovered at Home the head of the original from which the statue of the Vatican is an inferior copy. The same paper claimed, on the authority of an antique bronZe, that the left hand should have been restored with an iigis, instead of the bow. The wise men of Germany have been con sidering these questions. In the January number of the Berlin Xeistchrift fiir Oym nasialwesen, is a report of the twenty-sixth convention of German philologists and peda gogues last October, at which Prof. Henry Brunn, of Munich, exhibited two plaster casts, one of the Apollo and the other of the head recently found by Steinhauser at Rome, and confidently supposed to be not only Apollo, but the original of which the Belvi- Uere is a copy. Prof. Brunn decides it to be the head of a young athlete. In regard to the iegis probably borne in the left hand, he ae eepts the conclusion afforded by the Ponque ville-Biraganoff statuette in bronze. ~B elh Cheney, the estimable artist who oiedmisr.ts, drew portraits oi the size of life, in crayon, üßing no colors, with extraordi nary ekul in transferring to the sheet before him the finest and moßi elevated expression «f which the countenance of his sitter was capable. He always wrought with a certain «eativp : enthuß asm like that of the poet. His best portraits, at the same time that they are good likenesses, have something angelic in their aspect. It is told of Dana, the poet that after dookipg with wonder at one of these. the likeness or a lady more eminent ft»r : , goodness than for beauty, he Mid: “It Sfl our friend aB she will be at the insurrection.” Cheney could never bring himself to receive as sitters those for whom he did not entertains decided respect, and for y.-.ir: ;C,tta~=;rte: ~,.., a..,_~. tbatieasohdeclinedto take the likenesßea of certain memdistingulshed in public life. Hal leck once eat to him, bat the artist round the frame of mind which he brought to his ta3k disturbed by the free and sportive manner in •which his sitter spoke of certain grave mat ters, and one morning when Halleck came as usual Cheney said to him: “I have finished vour likeness.”, “You have been expediti ous,” said the poet. “Yes,” returned Cheney, “I put it into the fire this morning.” That was the last of Halleck’s sitting to Cheney; but if the poet had not jested so unseasonably we should probably have had one of Cheney a finest heads; for Halleck, with hiß beaming countenance, ■was a capital subject for such an artist. : —Burlington House, London, is under going preparation for the ftiture use. of the Royal Academy. The building is large enouLh to afford ample accommodations tor the schools, library, and offices and galleries. Of these latter named there will be fourteen, all of good size, the principal one being or unusual dimensions. They will he arranged and used expressly for oil paintings, water color drawings, architectural designs and en gravings. The sculpture will be. exhibited In the centre of the building, and will be lighted from the cupola. Visitors must pass through this rotunda in going into the various galleries. No picture will hereafter be “floored” or “shied,” and a,space_will be given around each one, so that they will not, by Contrast, unfavorably affecteach other, or, in fact, that the different effects may not kill each other. At a recent meeting of the Roval Academy it was decided to extend the dntv of visiting the schools to the associates as well as the full members. 1 The library, which is to be-greatly enlarged, is to be open everv evenidgTo aU introdueed persons, even if hot students of the academy. The first cen tenary exhibition will b%pened in the new building on the first of May next, and it is proposed to hold during the year a review ex hibition of all the academicians and associates since the year 1768. _ ITramlated for the Phlladeluhla Evening Bulletin.] P&B18 OOSSIJP. The BuiabSSS has more than once alluded to Count Waldecb, centenarian, artißt and antiquary. He sent a picture to the Salon last spring, and baß exposed either that or another painting more recently in London. He is now writing his memoirs,at the jage or*, 103, and appears to have given up all Inten tion of dying., One day some one alluded to death: . _ ... “Do not believe in it,” he said, angling; “death is a report kept up among the gossips.” Princess Clotllde, who.is good and proud, recently stung the Empress without meaning it. Clotilde, it will be remembered, belongs to the antique house of Savoy. . Eugenie was complaining of the fatigues Bbe suffered from the receptions at the Tuileries, and added: ~ “And you, cousin, dear,are you not tired, t ° < ‘‘Ob, as for me, your Majesty knows lam accustomed to such things from infancy. The Siecle has been for a couple of years receiving subscriptions for a publio statue to Voltaire. The affair has aroused all the bit terness of the clerical journals, such as Veuil lot’s Univers, and all the enthusiasm of the protestants, or, as we would call thenju free thinkers. . A . The Siecle now reports that the subscrip tion, closed in September last, amounted to SUcle in the death of its tormer proprietor, M. Havin, has caused a delay in the execu tion of the scheme. In the meantime the celebrated bronze-founders,Barbedienne,have been engaged in preparing the model, an enlargement of the inimitable sitting figure by Houdon in the foyer of the Theatre Franyais. This is now nearly finished, and the Siecle promises Bhortly to invite the subscribers to an inspection of the statue in the court of the Institute. , „ x' The place fixed upon is at the end prolongation of the Rue de Rennes, where it will impinge upon the Institute. Offenbach. —The Pall Mall makes a note of Offenbach’s final withdrawal from legitimate Comic Dpera; he will write as madly as he can: . \ M. Offenbach has finished a piece \for the Opera Gomique, and is working at a piece for the Varietes. Hitherto, in Composing for the Opera Comique, M. Offenbach has, like the conscientious American poet, abstained from writing “as iunny as he can';” but on this oc casion we are assured by his admirers that he will have no scruples. The feeling for high art which prevented M. Offenbach from achieving any great success with “Robinson Crusoe,” and with tbe notorious “Barkouf,” will not be allowed a third time to stand in his way. He means to do his worst in the way of humor; and the Opera Comique, the scene of Gretry’s, Boieldieurs, HerMd'a and Auber’s triumphs: for which Donlzem wrote “La Fille du Regiment,” and Meyerbeer “L'Etoile du Nord” and “Le Pardon du Plo ermel”— is to be furnished with a true Offen bacbian extravaganza in the style'' of “La Belle Heldne” and “La Perichole.” But, after all, will not the necessary element of wickedness be wanting if the name of Mdlle. .Schneider be absent from the cast, as assuredly itwdl? “Das war kein echtes Parodies,” wrote Heine on a poet’s description of Eden, in which the forbidden fruit |was omitted; and the Opera Comique will be “no true Paradise” to those fanatical admirers of Offenbach’s works who admire nothing in them so much as the grotesque pesfor mances of Mdlle. Schneider.

Phryne then giveß a specimen of her style of song, which she says men like much better, and in which her horror of “la Champagne and her love of “le campagne” are duly ex pressed. Phryne also ridicules Penelope s passion for worsted work, and ultimately irevails upon her to join her in a dance, mown in France as “le cancan,” a simple word, by the way, of two syllables, which in England is generally printed as a double word, with the two halves connected by a hyphen. If the English must, speak of a dance which in France people of refinement avoid mentioning ds much as possible, let them at least give it its, proper name, or rather let tbCrn give the name its proper or thography. ■ • . ..

No. 727 CHESTNUT STREET. fe9l4trp [From the Sunday Transcript, Feb. 7.) ; “As to whether a Harrison boiler will explode is on open question. Its Inventor is particularly positive on the eubjeot, while others are equally certain the other way. Now, It is not for us to B ay that the Harrison bollor will, and wo cer tainly shaUnot aver that it will not, explode. It may be proper to add that In December lost there was an explosion in Drinker’s alley. Now what was the name ol the exploded holler ? Will Mr. Harrison please say? Our columns are open for explanations.” If the holler in Drinker's alley alluded to Is the one in Mr. Yocum’s foundry,it Is a Harrison boiler. In a pamphlet Issued from the Harrison Boiler Works lor several years past will be found the following: Page 21. “ Steam-boilers can no more be made absolutely secure against some kind of explosion or fracture than guns or ordnance. Bat thoy should be and can be made, so that no serious harm can arise when they do give way. To accomplish this most Important end, the prevailing system has been found, after a century of trial, entirely at fault, and improvementsjmnßt be looted for in its abandonment.” Axioms, page 23—1st. That a steam-generator, oi whatever form or material, mnst, as a para mount condition, be absolutely secure from, destructive explosion, even when carelfssly used. ' 3d. That its strength Bhould in no respect be dependent upon any system of stays or maces, whereby the inefficiency or qf these braces or stays could in creased strain upon the others, thwennangering the whole structure. „ 6 th.

[Correspondence of the Fhilada, Evening Bulletin.) Tbektos, Feb. 12.—U. 8, District Court— Judge Field.—The case of George W. Thorn, Collector of the Filth District, charged with al lowing -whisky to be removed from bonded warehouses without paying the specified tax. In volving a loss of $lOO,OOO to the government,was resumed to-day. This action te brought by the government to recover from Thorn and- bis sureties the defi ciency. R- Williams, revenue detective, testified that he discovered a distillery In Jersey City which did not conform to the law, owing to a rectifying and distilling establishment being in one building. He Informed Thorn of these facts, and also that he thought the parties were creeling the building for the purpose of defraud ing the government:' Williams,with another in spector, shortly after seized the establishment. Mr. Thorn then, as Collector, seized it npon the following morning. Also, that Thorn suggested compromising the matter with these parlies for $1,060. The compromise not being accepted,the case was prosecuted. On tho cross-examination of this witness ho was asked what he found out in relation to the above distillery; be replied that he found out they were going to cheat- At this the counsel for the defence took umbrage and said, “He’s too smart for us” District Attorney—“ And he has proved too smart for a great many whisky men.” The Judge ruled that It was a proper answer. William Richards,from the Commissioner’s office in Washington, was then placed upon the stand, and gave a clear and lucid explanation of the bonded system as It then existed, and the dalles and requirements of Collectors. Charles W. Beniamin, U. 8. Deputy Marshal, testified that the District Attorney had plaoed summons in hiß bands, for the apprehension of the parties who signed the fraudulent bouds; that be called upon Mr. Thorn and asked him If ho could tell him where the parties lived, or any thing concerning them, and that Mr. Thom re plied, he neither knew where they lived,nor any thing concerning them ; nor did he know how he came bv those fraudulent bouds. The District Attorney then offered a largo amount of documentary evidence, and rested tbe cose for iho Government. Mr. I. W. Scudder then opened the case for the defendants in a warm and earnest speech. In the course of which he said: “Whisky will be made and will be drank antil tbe world shuts up shop.” George W. Thorn was placed UDon the stand, and testified that ho went into office on the first of 'November, 1866, and went out on the first of April, 1867; knew his predecessor, Mr. Wallace, and his deputy, Mr. Darling; requested Mr. Dar ling to remain In office with him, but that gen tleman declined doiDg so; he appointed Mr. Gar dener as Bonded Clerk, who had charge of the bonded account; always received the bonds; sup posed that he looked after tho Burettes and their eufflciency, as he relied wholly upon him for that purpose. He Btated that Mr. Gardener may have said something to him concerning the fraudulent bonds several months after he went out of office; did not recollect ever having seen the fraudulent bonds beiore yesterday; had no recollection of any circumstance connected with any of-lhe bonds. Id reply to a question as to whether he had retained the clerks of his predecessor, he re plied that he retained all who desired to stay, with the exception of two. His predecessor .having two offices, employed two young ladies as abstract clerks; these he discharged, as he had but one office, and did not think youne ladies suited for it. The Court then adjourned until Monday morning. ■, Tho amount ot whisky removed by the opera tions of these fraudulent bonds was 90,000 gal lons, at a time when the tax was $2 per gallou, thus causing a clear loss to the Government of $lOO,OOO. Tlio Spanish Cortes. Madrid, Feb. 12.—At the opening of tho Cor tes, yesterday, Marshal Serrano said: The na tions 01 Europe, in attaining a higher dcgreo of civilization, threw off the traditional bonds which l'cttcredThe public tnind. Bpain delayed for a long time following the exnmple of her neigh bors. She now calls on her representatives to -construct a now odifico. Revolution has achieved a bloodless victory. Tho strength of tho nation has not been impaired, bnt the extravaganco of foimor administrations has disorganized and embairaseed its finances. The government re lies upon the Cortes to remedy this, by -economical reforms and changes in ad ministration, by wise legislation in re gard to 1 tho public debt,- and the payment of the inturcat thereon, and by economizing the ex penses of the army and navy. The fundamen tal principles of radical Liberalism which had been adopted in relation to religion, tho press and education, by the Provisional Government, must now’ be consolidated by tho action of the Deputies. Onr, revolution here is not rcsponsl- bio for tbe rising in Cnba; that is doe to the er rors of past governments. He expressed the hope that tho insurrection thoro worild bo speedily-ex tinguished. and that tranquillity, based ‘on re fomvwould bedurablo. . Ho predicted thgtala very would bo abolished wlthont precipitation ana wlthout compromising the prosperity of the Antilles. In conclusion, ho congratulated the country on tho good'relations with foreign na - lions, now more intimate than ever before. < Madrid, Feb. 12.—At the opening of tho Cortes, ' tbo Marqnls of Santa Cruz presided, and a salute lot 21 guns was fired. During Marsha) Serrano’s speech there were vivas for tho Provisional Government, tor General Prim, and for a republic and for a monarchy. Tbe confusion was great, but was finally quelled by Marshal Serrano’s cry ing viva for the sovereignty ol the Cortes. 5 A grand review of troops was subsequently held, and the members of the Cortes attended the Te Deum In the Basilica of our Lady of Atocha. ■ Affairs In Cuba* Havana, February 12.—A small Spanteh schooner which hod cleared for New York, was seized to-day by tho authorities, on suspicion of having arms and supplies for the rebels on board. Her eargo was overhauled, but nothlog was found to confirm the suspicions of the officials. A mixed commission, appointed by planters and merchants to raise funds for the government, have resolved to recommend tho following plan: The Snanish Bank Is to furnish a loan of $8,000,000 to the Treasury, of the government,the govemment to provide for the payment thereof by imposing a special lax as follows: 50 cents on eaoh box of sugar Imported; $1 on each load of unmanufactured tobacco, and 60, cents on every thousand elgatß: 5 per cent, oh all' import duties now;paJd, and 25 per cent, additional ou the taxes how paid by merchants and mahufac tnrers. The Dxario admits that tbe revolutionists hold possession of the entire Puerto Principe district, except tho city proper. " Several secret deposits of arms have been discovered at Cardenas. No definite Dews of tho state of affairs in tbe Central Department is received either through governmental -or other channels. It is known, however, that the rebels have made the town' of Menlcaragua their rallying point. Arrests of suspected parties continue to be made. Several Americans and other foreigners are among those now in custody. Thomas Terry, tho wealthiest merchant in the Island, was arrested, but subse quently released. It Is reported that he offered to Captain-General Dolce his entire possessions to aid tbe government in snppresalng the revolu tion.
