The ffiTEn-Cohoo EamnmoH re Aid of tiif,
Cnii.np.Kji'B Hospital.— The art of aquarelle is
In the ( osltion of an exotic among oar connois
seurs; a gronp of gentlemen who highly appre
ciate its menu, arc desirous of planting It firmly
among ob. To show what effects it is capable of,
and how varied are the resources of what seems
a netrlcted method, they have spared generously
from their own galleries and levied freely npoD
the collections of tbelr friends. At the same
time the artists of Philadelphia, with moat oi
whom (be Art is still experimental, have boon en
couraged to vie with each other and with that
oody of Now York painters who have for some
time been improving Ihemeelves in the style.
Water-color art is still in the position of a
bobby. Bat one nation, the English, gives li
much hospitality. It is true the salon* of the
French Academy contain every spring a number
of aquarelles, impartially mixed with the char
coal the tehee and chalk drawings ; bnt many of
tbeeo are architectural designs, and the method
Is cultivated much moro for its mere convenience
in out-eiobr transcribing, and much less as a
broad and fitting expression for art-effects, than
on the other side of the Channel. Gambart, the
collecier, once asked the genre painter Frere to
prepare some water-colors for exploitation in
the English market, where his oil paintings were
established favorites: the painter made a few
sketches, bnt throw the bargain up Id Impatience;
bis etadlea drew no attention in their own
country, Ihilr slightness was distasteful in Eng
land, and two of them have at length found their
way, through Ur. Avery, to ihc nuodsomc col
li ction we aic now considering.
The present charitable Water-Color Exhibition,
collected from the two good motives of benevo
lence and art propagandism, opens to day in the
galleries of the Artiste’ Fond, which il Is exten
sive enough lo fill. The catalogne numbers two
hundred and sixteen examples, and includes the
nanus of the most distinguished British profes
sionals. The public at large, who think of water
color only as of something very vagne, broad and
Ilsky in style, will besurprlsedat the rich variety
ot t ffecis of which it proves Itself capable; while
dilettanti will be attracted by the knowledge that
acquartllo Is now a "rage,” and by the air oi
ligtuuess, elegance and decoration which a range
ui caitoon-plctnres, with their broad while
margtDS und Hal, engraved frames, always pre
sci i» lo the eye.
The gallery has been arranged with con
siderable system, Ibe nationalities being gene
rally classed together, ft thus happens that to
reach the collection of American arusis, includ
ing onr neighbors of Philadelphia, we have to
pi Detrate the snile of galleries to the Southern
noon, in which they are mostly hang.
MG. W. T. Richards, "Lake Avernns," the
largest picture exhibited by this painter. It is
pale and dreamy in tone, with a poetic realiza
tion ol iLc nuinre of the scene it deplete; tuc
classic lako lies among Its folded banks like a
peurl-sbell, and the uir itself reminds one ol
fame’s i xpretslon, "lljkos of pearl,” applied to
tile llulibß atmosphere. Mr. Richards has a
very beautiful and golden Camp igna-scene
hanging on the screen In the ante-room, uuJ u
few fine sketches iu body-color on a grey paper
airangcd on ihe walls around it.
IBS James Hamilton. "Wbat are the Wild
Waves BsyiDgf” Wd"hre delighted i» see this
old favorite again, odc of the finest conceptions
ibe artist ever commuted to water-color. This
is ibe finished work the original sketch of which
is In the possession ot Charles Dickens.
151. E. D Lewis, “Lake Wtniplsseogoc.” This
Is the best contributed by Mr. Lewis. Thu sky,
detente and water are almost perfect, in the
manner of the English master Richardson.
164 and 176, E Moran. Both of theso large
pictures aru imposing and rich. In the
“Nlagaru,” tho treatment 6f tho water-worn
rocks Is remarkably true and skilful. Tnu
“Stream iu tho Woods” is as rich as tapestry,
und the worst that can bo said of either is, p r
haps, that water-color has beon forced to carry
the burden and body of oil.
SPECIAL. NOTICBB.

160, 183. G. B. Wood. These are careful pre-
Ripbaellle sludtus, filled with detail, and uot
without original expression. Tho figure of the
old Germantown linker, Freddy Flechenateln,
surrounded with a whole arsenal of hardware Is
an Industrious complication ot genre that is worth
many compositions that show more flash.
162. "The Darglo,” by John Faulkner. This
and unotber study not catalogued, hanging iu
th*b next room, show Mr. Faulkner’s former

curtful, pains taking,, quiet, low in key; these
pictures, we believe, were executed by Mr. Faulk
ner before bis arrival among ns ; would ho were
iquully earnest since we havo made him one
olus!
‘Before taking leave of the Philadelphia exhibit
ors we must extend a courteous recognition to
several names rather scattered in the arrange
ment of the exhibition, bnt shining forth from
their piaceß with a welcomolnstre. Tho northern
or introductory room contains soveral. Miss
Jean Lee contributes (10) one of her most taste

nihikablejintfuf, and illustrating tho sentiment
that never grows old or tiresome. An amateur
of promise, Is Mr. E. L. Seal), whoso sketch of
* Soirebto ravine and bridge Is very pictarosque.
Among onr neighboring artists, too, we have a
right to class Mr. Bayard Taylor, whose golden
leisure in his Chester conmy villa is largely
pufpid. we believe. In claborating'skctcbes like
Ibepe, No. 1, No. 62, and No. 140; the latter.in the'
sonth room, is the best of Ibo triad, and indicates
in Mr. Taylor a decided natural luleDt for art;
they all have that nnpietendiog literalness, that
dt plre to see honestly and transcribe exactly, which
make Mr. Taylor’s literary style so transparent
and satisiactory a mediant of observation. Mr.
Darley, who at various times has been a residen t
in onr vlncinagc, exhibits some'of hia most ad
mirable, elaborate and spirited india-tnk draw*
ii-pp.
We leave for another occasion the notice which
is dire to the magnificent group of English wnter
< oloi s Ailing the body ot the exhioltion. They
ere, some of them, among the finest ever brought
over to this country, beiDg selected for the self
gratification of cultivated connoisseurs. There
are two Cattermoles. a number of exquisite ex
tuples by Richardson, specimets by Stuiuel and
Skinner Freni, David Roberts, Mary Margett,
John Abealon, ODd various other names of great
importance In their kind. To one English artist,,
oowever, who is now naturalized in oar land, we
have a rlgtt to pay tribute ia this American
ootlce. We give the distinction, of a special
paragraph to the works of Mrs. Elizabeth Mar
ray. now of New Yoik, whose iofinenco on the
figure-school of water color art has been very
elevating and strong in tbo old country, to say
uotbiDg of oars. Her large figure piece a. (89)
“The Eleventh Hour” and (178) “Just Awake’’
will be, In fact, the centres of toe exhibition for
be public at large. Whether the painful lndns
rv necessary to get np subjects of tills type Id
airier-color is' a legitimate exercise and a wise
xpeDse, would be a question rather ungracious
to raise now. The beanty and expression thrown
mto three stupendous masses ot hatching will be
* dcligbt for all spectators, and there we may let
be matter rest.
We owe. In conclusion, a brotherly tribute to
'.be New York pioneers who, themselvos gene
rally new to this fascinating study, have seat
‘i me specimens of rare excellence, In earnest of
ihilr continued and advancing efforts. Their
woiks aie to be 6een in the South room, aDd
among them are Mr. Smillle's large, intricate and
interi sting “Track of the Torrent,” (No. 150)
Mr. Rondel's “After the Bain,” (No. 139), a sin
gularly cool, dewy and lnsh effect, and an exam
ple of one of the best mottvi to which water-color
can bo.applled; Coleman’s “Windsor Castle” (161)
*nd “View in X«-res,” (191). the latter of wnich
is too wasby, looking os if indeed it were painted
with ihe wine of the place, while the former is
rery careful, exact and agreeable; and a light
ii d fcliciioDS marine sketch, by de Haas,No. 147
We bope that onr readers will pay to this first
jrand Philadelphia exhibition of water-colors
be attention and reßpect snitable to its import
snee; it is, in lact, better than a spectacle, it is
an education. Tbe liberality which thus shares
me treasures of private galleries cannot be often
repeated, and It will be long before so many tri
umphs of an exqnisltc and recherche art will be
seen by onr citizens together.
This is varnishing-day at the Academy, and the
artists are busy giving the last loaches to their
works. Among the _ eonspicuoua pictures are
Prof. Schnesee’e’a “Esther and Hainan,” and
Houtelle's “Trout-fishing.” These are both large,
.nil of detail, and tbe master-pieces of their re
- pective authors. To-morrow evening a private
view will be afforded toartißts and amatenrs, and
on Monday tbe grand opening will take place.
HAITI.
Salnuve Objects to a Negro minister
from tbe United states.
A Hayticn correspondent writes:
Tbe grand excitement hero since the arrival of
the steamer from New York is the news that a
colond gentleman I? to supersede the present
American Minister,T. H. Hollister. As there is
no other Minister Resident here, and as he is
c hief of all the foreign representatives in rank,
ihe Charges d’Aflalres from England, France and
Spain, who are gentlemen of high social posi
tion, do not feel complimented with the news
Tbe American Conenls and other officers
lepresenling us hero do not wish to have
* colored man for a chief. We have had,
visiting and stationed, at this port daring the taut
ten months, six American ships-of-war. The
. ominandanis and the officers under them, like
<be other gentlemen of our navy, are persons of
culture, and would not relish this change. Rumor
-ays that President Salnave was heard yesterday
io remonstrate with the American merchants in
own against this measure, and that the parties
present all ageeed in sentiment. The President
remarked (so the story goes) that ho already had
more black men here than he conld take caro of.
He considered the black race equal to
he white race, but asked very pointedly
whether our government entertained each
lentimenls, and if so why we did
not send black men to represent us in England
and France. He said the question was not what
ae ihongbt about the i quality of races, but that
Ge did not consider this discrimination in favor
if Hayti to be complimentary. The question
might occur to a patriotic mind why the present
Minister should give place to anybody. He is
universally respected here by tho government
nd by all respectable Americans. The abuses
neaped upon him.by ibe rebels, and made pnbllc
m the American newspapers, have grown oat ol
be simple discharge of his official duties. His
ercat offence wub that be treated Salnavo as he
«ould have treated the chief of any other nation.

PIIII.ADBLPUIA, April 22, 1869. — T0 the Editor
of the Evening Bulletin : I see by tho papers of
fuesduy last that James Gilchrist has been ap
pointed Day Bergiant on tho Police force. With
> our permission, I wiil give a history of his con
duct duriLg the October election.
On tbalday he was a deputy-sheriff, but kept
bis badge concealed in bis pocket nearly all day.
He bad tbe Democratic wiodow-book at tbe
Fourth Division, Seven teontb Ward. In the af
uiDoon a man named Swarlz offered to vote in
the name ol John Noble. 1 knew Swartz, and
drove him from the window. Gilchrist insisted
ibo man’s name was Noble, and placed hie hand
on Swartz's shoulder, with tho remark,
"I know this man, and his name is
John Noble.” At the same time its well knew the
man’s correct name was George Swartz, and he
wore he should vote; the vote was refused
under that name, whon tbe man Swartz imme
diately gave his correct name (George Swartz).
1 qualified him. and under oath ho slated that he
icsidcd In tbe Nineteenth Ward, having moved
there two months prior to the election, lacking
five days. I refused the vote on account of non
leeidcnce, when Gilchrist with others raised a
howl und noise like a menagerie of wild animals,
beating the window-hoard, carsing and swearing,
..rid intimidated the Judge of the election into
taking tbe vote.
I had Gilchrist, Swartz and the Judge of
election urrested, held to bail, true bills found
against Gilchrist and Swartz, bqt did not succeed
in having them tried daring Mr. Mann’s term,
and have since bcurd nothing of the matter.
Gilchrist dare not go to trial, or he would uot
now be a member of the force which ho dis
graces. Truly yonrs,

Grant Lodging for u Foreign War
's rouble* Apprenended.
London, April 21,18C9 —Tbe London papers of
,'o-oay comment very freely on the present state
i.f sfluirs Id Cuba. Th e Telegraph, a ministerial
organ, moderateln tone, says that in regard to
be independence of Cuba England is unbiased,
but at the same time admits that England's inter
ests can be brst subserved by Spain retaining her
i.nlhorily in tht islund. The article does not say,
howtvtr. that in any case it should be the busl
u(SB of England to inlerlcre and endeavor to pre
vent.Cubau independence, but it maintains* that
■be good offices of England might' prove useful
'o avert a quarrel between Spain and Americi.
1 1 designates tbe seizure of the ship Mary Lowell
as o mad act, implicating England, Spain’s best
friend, unites the latter country offers reparation
for tbe insult. The article theD goes on to argae
that the Cabans can never willingly attach them-’
.elves to the United Stateß.
The London Owl, of this evening, also has its
say oh Cnban matters. It argues that President
Grant has been mad on tbe r-nbject of Caba, and
thinks that England and France- would declare
war if Amt rica attempts lo wrqpt tho island from
Spain. Grant, says tne Owl, longsfor a foreign
war, knowing, as be does, that the feeilng nt
present pervading American officials is one of in
tense hatred to England, and, though in a less de
gree, to France.
It is stated that in a day or two a yacht will be
despatched from hero to Cuba, on a mission from
; tbe government, to ascertain the exact position
of affairs tbeie.
Tbe belief is that a heavy storm is brewing
which may yet occseiun much I rouble.

As may be judged from the following extracts,
the Spanish press regard tho proposed new Gon
tli'urion In any light but a favorable one..
The Discussion, a Republican journal, says:
At length we have had read in the Cortes the
projected constitution which has occasioned so
much debate among its signers. As wo expected,
it is essentially doctrinal. It recognizes the
monarchy hereditary and irresponsible, concedes
to the King the faculty rf suspending and dis
solving the Cortes, declaring war and ratifying
reatlCß. It tstablisbrs two Chambers; speaks of
tbo Prince ol Asturias; legalizes indirectly tbo
quinlas. Onr impressions about it are far from
nelDg satisfactory. It recognizes individual
rights, but it does not declare them iltegislatabie;
-anckiYfcven limits tho right of public meeting.
Inviolability of domicile and individual security
seem insufficiently guaranteed. In our judg
ment the project is essentially perlnrbating and
anarchical, and so far from consolidating the
work of tbe revolution it scatters that to the air
and leaves bb to tbe caprices of a monarch and
to the weakness ol a congress. - It is contradic
tory, sbemd and anti-revolutionary.
Tne Rrforma says:
The reading of the projected constltntion, it is
necessary to confess, has produced bad and de
plorable effects in ail political circles. The most
sorrowful, aLd which cannot do less than cause
immense grief, is that the republican party find it
in general so unacceptable that it is to be feared
they wULjmanlfest, in lerm§ moro or Ices decided,
iheir determination not to recognize it when it is
passed.
The Novedades thus reviews It:
Is this project essentially democratic!' No.
Does it, under the monarchical form, accept tuu
principles of absolute liberty? No. It is an
amalgamation of contradictory principles, and it
can neither satisfy liberals nor conservatives. So
far ftom being a bond of union it will be a start
ing point of new and fatal dissensions, which will
make tbe happiness of our country impossible.
The Regeneration hardly-notices any of the
articles bnt the religions ones. It says
They are obscure. While other creeds are
authorized it does not appear that the Catholic
religion 19 authorized at all. Let ns be explicit,
that the deputies may hesitate la adopting the
novelty, tbe more so as they havo seen tho mil
lions of Spaniards who have appealed to the
Cories by diverse methods, to solicit the conser
vation of Catholic nnity.
The Esperanza and Pensomiento Kspano both
condemn, as naturally might be expected, the
toleration of other creeds.
The Iberia closcs s long article thns;—
We accept. tho base and spirit of the project,
and only combat the form in which somo of its
dispositions are presented—above all, tbe irreso
lution and tbo tear displayed in vurions of the
articles. We sbonld have desired more decision,
energy and clearness in tbe planting of liberal
principles.
His Farewell Mpeecli—More ITI illicit In
Protections of Love for nngland.
Tbe Pall Mall Gazette, of tbe 7th inst, says:
Mr. Johnson was among the speakers at the
anniversary festival of the Royal Asylum of St.
Ann's Society, at tbe London Tavern, last even
ing. In returning thanks for the Foreign Minis
ters, Mr. Johnson observed that bis was a melan
choly duty on uceoum of tbe short time which
imained to him in this country. He bad for
warded his resignation to the United States some
eight or ten days since, and he believed his place
would bo henceforth filled by a gentleman, a
•cbolar, and a humane Christian man, who wonld
do all that lay in hie powor to cement friendship
oelween the two countries, and who wonld, be
eellevtd, come out of hie office with dißtiactlon
dter having fulfilled the speaker's own best wishes
for International advancement. Tbe United States
wonld never allow their Minister to hazard peace
between ns; he did not know whether tho Uuited
Stales were dissatisfied with the Conventiou he
bud signed laßt November; be was, at least, well
assured that .England wonld never accode to de
mand! against her rights and honor. Should
.uy dispute ever arise between the two countries,
hero was always an escape from war in tbe stupe
of a reference. At home, in America, he bad
been charged with having spoken too much on
this side of tbe water, but that was because he
had bad such willing auditors. Ho had always
been seduced by kludfrlcDds ever ready to listen
to him, and perhapß he bad too willingly yielded
to their kind seductions. Very recently one of
tbe newspapers had charged him with being over
i xuberant, but ho must remind them tint the
same charge applied to his hearers. He al
ways Imagined that he heard his hoarors hearts
beating with friendship for the people, of the
United States; and this being So, ho had
given way to an exnbcranco which la charac
teristic of an old man who cannot oxpect
io eDjoy life much longer. With regard to bis
speeches at Newcastle and Manchester, he had
neon charged with meaning to Intimidate Eng
land, nnd he wonld say with reference to this,
that only for the fact of bis being a writer in the
poper which influences so vaßtly the destinies of
the world,the author of such an Idea ought to be
ocbed up in a lunatic asylum. What he and
oveiy Christian wanted was that the Uuited
States and England should over be associated to
gether as friends. Judging from past history
tboto was every prospect that both countries
wonld at least remain free forever. How much
could cot the one assist the other ? In a mohth'u
time (Mr. Johnson added) he wonld leave for
bom<; and how wonld he leave England ? A
sadder man. He would leave thousands ol
friends whom .he woqld never sea again. .Mr.
•Johnson concluded with some observations on
‘ She chatlly bn bchalf of which he woSepoiking.

A. Proclamation—Case of (Ue Mary
LOVSCII.
The Havana correspondent of the ,New York
Times says:
Canards, or, as they arecalfedhy the Spaniards,
bolus, are in continual circulation, the last being:
a fat one and keeping tbe city in a fever of ex
citement from Bnnd»y morning until Taesday
cvt niDg, when Daloe himself came to tbe rescue
and issued the following proclamation,whichox
ploiDs all:
Inhaisitakts of Havana: It is certain that the
new s received from tho theatre of war is highly
satisfiictorT; that the rebels are fiylng disbanded,
and that their eilcattoo lu tbe Central Depart
ment is compromised and difficnli; bat the news
which is circulating that Crapedca, the incendiary
of your properties, tho assassin of your families
und your friends, is now In the Principe fort, is
an utter falsehood, invented by those who are In
terest'd to keep alive tbe anxiety and agitiliaa
here, in order to make capital with It in lorclgn
countries by calumniating and offending yonr
dicnity ns Spaniards and the honor of onr father
land. I announce to you now, aDd wltbont fear
ibat tbe result will belie my words, the triumph
of the Ppontsh cause in Cuba is inevitable, cer
tain and tm incut. The insurrection is overcome
and conquered. Woe to those who attempt to
reanimate ill •
Volunteers, seek lo convince persuasively tho
ciednlcUß and impatient. Bee yourselves lo
iboec who spread rumors which, though they be
pleasant, may contribute to oxcitcment and au
outbreak of the passions.
Have confidence in me as I have in you.

THE CASE OF THE M AKY LOWELL.
Tbe Government undoubtedly prutcuds to
prove that tht capture of the Mary Lowell was
legal, although all tbe puultghod testimony
proves the contrary. The hatches have been
opened ond tbe arms will be landed In a few days.
Tbe Engljsh Consnl-General has protested ener
getically against tho whole proceeding, but it ap
pears that very little attention has been paid to
bis protests. A very peculiar question arises in
connection with this baelncss, regarding tbe dn-
Ucg and rights of Consuls or Consul-Generals. If
.be British Cbneul-Goneral is considered more
'lran a simple co'inmtercial agent, and enjoys cer
aln diplomatic privileges, by what maniphlatlon
is the American Consul-General deprived of tbo
same prerogatives and treated as a commercial
□gent only? Cuba is too far from Spain, and
Consuls ooght to have greater power.
