ART ITEMS. —A half life-size statue, completed to the hips, of what is alleged to be a portrait of Sap pho, wrought by a Cyprian artist of hard chalk stone, a species of marble, is now on exhibition at No. 159 Fifth avenue, N. Y. This work is claimed to be 2,200 years old, and only recently discovered. In these days of Cardiff giants many may be disposed to take the statements of the exhibitor cunt grano sails. Whether it has the antiquity ascribed to it or not, it is cer tainly a work of rare beauty. The features are the most perfect Grecian, and the pose of the head and handling of the lyre on which she is represented playing, show true artistic genius. There are earrings, a necklace and bracelets, showing the fondness for female decorations in those days, and all exquisitely chiteled.— ..-Estract from the new Life of Gibson, the sculptor: Speakinefrom an experience of forty years' Study and practice at Rome I have come to the convietion that ono great evil as regards the art in England arises from the class'of committees to which the decision in such mat ters is submitted. These committees are coin posed of miscellaneous individuals, united only in their common qualification of having no knowledge or contiecten with the art beyond that which most educated ; individuals possess. In the course airily life, however, I have never known any one who has not been profession ally etiga:_ed in the study of art capable of judginc of grandeur or slyly, or • composition, of hal 11:()Sly of lines, and of the intricacies of thapery, 5' et the judges appointed to decide upon tie in , ,dels submit tea for the %Vain 4t monument had, on that important oceasioo, • ilot, a Eiugle sculptor atnoicA thoto. • =-41alusbeiorigli's "Flue Boy," now eshibit ir the loarkolle4lon of the Old INI c: , - teikat the Royal Academy, is said to ' ha e Dtrit painted in refutation of a hasty dogni ► of jieynolds,that the principal figure in a picture should never be of a cool color.

'A picture thus skilful and subtle repays analysis. • —ln:the same etillocetehi, says the Pall Mall .Gazotte,.is a particularly interesting work of D arer's. "We have here' an - important example of German art that is connected by intimate re lations, ,and those both local and historical, , with Italian art. Geographically, the - journey from Venice, over the Alpine passes and the southern lowlands of Bavaria, to Nurnberg, is no long journey: But the particular work which the gieat waiter of Nurnberg contributes JO the present ,collection does not demand- of us even so much of mental locomotion as that The - amount of locomotion required to'' bring Nurnberg and Venice together for, us had been effected by Albert Darer himself, at the time • when- ho -painted:- - -his .241. a., &Mina and Angels (55.) The sig,natnre and date of the picture mark the year of his resi dence in Venice, and are corroborated out of all question by - the signs of Venetian influence that are manifest in its color, feeling and land scape. Of the three pictures which (as it now seems) we may be certain that Darer painted dining his Venetian residence—the Stachow "Feast of' Rose Garlands," the Prague "St. Eartholomeiv " and this " Madonna" of Lord Lothian's, picked up by, Chance some years since at an: Edinburgh dealer's—it is Most piobablelhat this would be the.plettire which the. artist records himself to have un-, dertaken for his aged admirer and friendly patron, the noble " Saubel 'him" or Gian Bellini. Precisely what is most 'remarkable - in this painting is the firm and minute 'exquisiteness of imitative ' line-work, or pencilling with the bruSh, that occurs in some, of the details—in the many-colored winglets of the left-hand cherub, in the plumage of the yellow bird; in the lily of the valley„in the hair of- • the nearest child, and the 1 foliage' Of the wreath that the-Virgin is about to teceive. And it is .precisely this quality of line-wink which is recorded to have aroused, on the'-part of Diirer's Venetian friends and rivals, an admiring and amazed inquiry ,as to the nature of the brushes that could produce strokes so magical. This excellence in-details— an excellence at once of feeling and of work manshipis the strong part of the work under notice. Criticism- is daily bringing into clearer evidence the debt which the first Venetian oil painters had owed to Northern art for their methods, their vehicles, and , much besides, dowif to the very variety of architecture intro duced into their landscapes. But a picture like this ,shows that by-and-by when a Northern • artist crossed the Alps and tried to resume his share in this heritage, which hi Italian hands had so soon frudified a Imadredfold,' the thing did not go altogether well with him. True, Ste Virgh.'s face is here hopelessly spoilt; but there must always ' haVe been something ;helot and imbecile (strange words when Diirer is in question) in this smiling compromise' between the honorable, ungainly, patient, robust motherhood of the South German type and the serene and luxurious loveliness of the Venetian type. There must always also have been something crude and ill - fused in the color of the work, notwithstanding its isolated pas sages of .(Teat beauty, as, for 'instance, the book that the Virgin is holding. • Again, there must always have been false drawing in the children's heads—the right-hand ',cherub in particular having his • face twisted wholly awry. Against this, on the other hand, may be set the charming invention and charming color (howbeit impaired by scraping) of the Venetianized landscape—Vtfnetianized, yet bearing in It reminiscences of Franco,nia, and repeating (in the ruined arch on the left) a fragment that occurs in ono of the comnosi. tiens ni tae artist's "Life of the Virgin." Al together this certainly authentic work of Albeit D firer's must be taken as proving that at the age of thirty-five this great artist was not (neither probably at any other) a wholly mature and masterly draughtsman on a life seale, in the sense in which many Italian ar ists of his time, and at least one German ar lit, wale mature and masterly draughtsmen."

B.—Nothing has hap pened since the hanging, and there did not half so much happen at that' time as many of the Philadelphia reporters pretended. It is a pitythat seine of those young men have con tracted such a habit of exaggeration; its ten dency is to bring journalism into disrepute. Col. C, S. Stewart, of the U. S. Engineer Corp, arrived here yesterday, and, t in o. o taPanT with a number of members of Council aud of the Board of Trade, made a reconnoissance of our harbor. It was a jolly party, from all I can learn, and they took in provender as • well as knowledge ; and this is'about All that is to be learned about the expedition ' as Col. Stewart keeps his opinions to himself, Ind seems likely to do so until he has made his surveys and sent In his report. Our wooden ship-yards give some mild in dications of continued life. E. &C. Moore have a 200-ton coasting schooner on the stocks for Captain Jones, of I'hilatielphia, and another firm' is pretty busy at repairing. There are but two firms now, where there was once half-a-dozen, and the business seems to bate gone to the dogs forever, so far as Wil mington Is concemed. It has declined as iron ship-building has advanced, but the facts do not seem to have any relation to each other as, the iron ships built are of an entirely different class from the old wooden ones and- are de signed for different service. Some rascals broke into the store of Burton & Wallace, at Dover, last. Friday night, and broke open the safe. They carried off about" $6O in money and $250 worth II t goods, and safely escaped with their booty. The store faces the court-house, between which stands the whipping-post and the jail. Dover is wroth, not so much at the loss, as at the gross disrftlpect manifested for her choice ministers of justice by the audaelottithieves who rob beneath their shadow.

Tim Troubles In Paris.- Pant::, Feb. 8, Noon.—The following de tails of the disorders in the Northeastern are gleaned from the newspapers: Rochefort was arrested as he was on the point of entering a political meeting in the Rue de Flandre, running from Belleville to La Villette. Although there was a great crowd of people present, and mainly of his own parti sans, he made no resistance and no appeals to the crowd— As soon as the arrest was made known to the meeting the wildest scenes oc . curred. Gustave Flonrens ' who preshied, ru,e excitedly, drew a sword, tired his revolver, and declared that the insurrection bad begun. The meeting broke up in disorder, and the crowd, under the leadership of Flourens, immediately proceeded to: barricade the: streets. This was accom plished without. loss of, time by the appropria tion of ounaibuase.s and other vehicles from stables in the neighborhood. The commissary of police who accompanied the guard charged with the duty of ;arresting Rochefort was forced along with the.. crowd and badly mal treated. The district lying between the Ilue Faubourg du Temple and the fortifications at La Villette, a distance of about two miles, was in possession of the rioters. At 11 o'clock a body of 'police charged the barricade in• the Rue Faubonrg du Temple and attempted to carry it, but was repulsed. One of the .commissaries,was dangerously wounded and one. Policeman killed. At other places barricades had been.erected, but they were not defended. The military are now out iu force, but thus far have made •no use of their firearms, al though the insurgents have. The latter had pillaged the armories, and in that way obtained their weapons. geveral policemen were wounded with these in the skirmishes in the morning. A great number of arrests have been made, and at l A. M. over three hundred persons bad been imprisoned in the barrack's. Many of these were mere boys, all armed, and most of them under the influence of liquor. It is reported that Gustave Flourens, who is looked upon as a leader of the rioters, has been arrested; but this is not confirmed. He is said to have announced to his mother, before going from borne to the meeting, that if Rochefort were arrested she would probably never see him again.' At this hour all is quiet. PAtus, Feb, 8, 6,,F. the. Corps Le,gis latif to-day, M. Keratry, one of the Liberal deputies, demanded to know why Rochefort was not arrested before be started for a political meeting where 6,000 'persons were assembled. It was not necessary that this meeting should be thus disturbed and ,the people who were participating aroused to violence. The act of the government was a provocation to the dis turbances which took place. A Member of the Ministry explained •that the authorities:had refrained from arresting Roche fort at the Chambers to avoid the scandal to Which his arrest at- such a place would have given rise. Ho • asserted that the friends of Rochefort were prepared to paake the demon stration which'they had made, and 'upon this 'fact The 'Ministry could rest the responsibility of wh'at had taken. place, and the cottnt ry would judge betwePri the Ministry, and the rioters. He said there need be ne necessity ; for, the peo ple to fear. The government was animated by *the best sentiments towards them. The Minister of the; Interior followed with ,the assertion that the friends of Roehefort had determined on, a demonstration had he been arrested at the. Chamberit- • 011ivier praised the conduct of the police , in dealing With the disOrde*rtAd said they had acted with prudence.and buraa-nity., Lormorr, Feb. 8, 6 F.riq..-,-The noes or the arrest of Rochefort and its • consequences 'have made. a sensation . here. There are r 'many rumors afloat, one that troops bad fired into the er6wd. These rumors are generally dis credited. _ , P - Ains Feb.

The Halifax/HSI Chronicle of the3d inst. says: The schooner Arrow, Capt McDonald, sailed from this port on the evening or the 24th rat. for Charlottetown. "The oldest inhabitant" cannot remember of a Teasel sailing from Halifax for Charlottetown at such a late,period. Most of the Insurance companies refused to take the risk on her cargo. Yesterday Mr E Morrison received a telegram from the owners, announcing the safe arrival of the Arrow, at Charlottetown, on Saturday evening. A heavy storm prevailed there on Tuesday. The Picton Standard says a scbeener belonging to Mr Jae Caooon, laden with coal and flab. left that port on Monday, Jan for Georgetown PEI. Somebody in Bridgewater remembers a season like this in 1792. The Cape Breton IVews publishes the following extract from Ito Issue of 27th January, 1855: "It is , not a very usual circumstance for elydny, Harbor to remain open and clear of ice after the Ist of January; yet so it has been the present season,. as up to this date the river has not frozen over, but the navigation of It remains unimpeded."
