The object of the hill is one that should meet the approval of every citizen in the State, .but the manner by which it is sought to force it through the Legislature shows it to be one of the boldest attempts ever made to rob the Trea 'miry of several millions of dollars.

Its reference to the Ways and Means Committee is considered equivalent to a defeat. THE STATE TREASURY INVESTIGATION. The Senate Finance Committee met this evening, for the purpose of continuing the in vestigation into the management of the State Treasury. and recalled 3fr. Mackey, whb pro duced tabular statements showing the condi tion of the Treasury at the time when he as sumed charge of the office on January 31st last. Although this did not comply with the order of the Committee, which had directed the production of statements , exhibiting the Monthly condition of the Treasury, it was ac cepted, and after a few general questions touching the management of affairs, the Com mittee adjourned, to reassemble to-morrow evening, when the present Treasurer will be ratalled. PAUL. TlniE CREAM. OF THE NEW BOOKS. Sir antrles Easttake's Opinions on Sri. From the second series of Sir C. L. East lake's Contributions to the Literature of the Fine Arts," with Memoir, compiled. by Lady Eastlake, just published in London by Murray, we take the following observation made during a tour undertaken • after the battle of Waterloo : . EASTLAKE ON THE VENETIAN SCHOOL. "IL is strange that I never dwelt •on the System of the Venetian school till I had dis covered the witty in which nature atones, if -I may, so say, for the want of light and shade in hot countries. In short, the character of nature here, and in the works, of:,Titiau and others, is to produce light and dark by color— the noblest and most general' system of imita tion. •In Greece, the sea and sky are some times the darkest parts of the-general picture. The monotony of a sandy ground is relieved on one side by the sparkle of marble, and on the other by the deptlis of the cypress and evergreen oak. So much for inanimate nature; but We: find the deep,' rich tones of men and animals, and even the dresses of the first, all 'combine to make amends for the want of that ishadoW which our northern climes have without color. The Venetians, therefore, loaned their style from the study of Italian 'nature.' While at Munich he thus criticized Corne lius: RASTLAEE'S OPINION OF CORNELIUS Cornelius's works have a grand conception and a 60d - of condensation of the spirit of :his subject; but still, something which tells better in words than In painting,l have observed that. Italians and Germans are always glad to ha rangue and describe their pictures, and their works naturally look better and more interest lug while this commentary is going on. It Would be wiser if they calculated what effect these pictures will have . when they tell their own story, which they must do sooner or later. This is an important consideration for au artist. The color in these frescoes is absolutely below criticism,the expression vulgar and exaggerated, and the forms by no metiins pitre. A grand com position and grand general conception are the chief nicanS---the only merits. The fallen state of criticism and knowledge of Art here is very perceptible. The painter is landed by his brother artists (with some few exceptions), and of course the connoisse'iu• and the public follow. The truth will only be known fifty years hence. Amid such a world of error in all these modern schools it is absolutely neces sary to define the ends and means of Art, and to follow them conscientiously, fearlessly. Cor neliushas departed from Nature without rising to axeneral idea; manner, caprice, vulgarity anif ugliness are often The Consequence. Ills. desil.ns for the Loggie of the Pinacoteca are very profound and full of meaning; even to the smallest ornaments; but who will ever see this? Small paintings overhead, in an open past age—surely a waste of thought ! The agreeable impression on the eye should be the main thing In such circumstances. Meanwhile this depth of'thought excites admiration among those who judge of paintings by their de scriptions " Items about Shelley. In a mediocre edition of Shelley, with notes and a memoir by W. M. Rossetti, just pub lisbed by Moxon, in London, we find the fol lowing Shelleyana, wbich if trifling may be new: "AN OATH! AN OATH!" «I have seen a letter of Shelley's, written from Keswick, inscribed outside Single sheet, by Cpd,' for every postman to read. lie had mason to consider himself overcharged by the post nnder the old regulations concerning sin gle or double sheets." 1911ELIX.Y'S INTEREST IN THE BIBLE. "Mr. Trelawney tells me that such Was 6hel ley's interest in the Bible—the Old Testanicn4 in especial—that he said on one occasion that, if he could save only one book from a general catastrophe of letters, he would select the Bi ble. What he particularly valued was its historic and poetic antiquity." lEHEI,LEY HESCTIMES TO TRIMANVNEY IRS mom OIP witrrucci "When my brain gets heated with thought it soon boils, and throws off images and words faster than lean skim them off. in the morn ing, when cooled down, out of the rude sketch I shall attempt a drawing." In Mr. Rosetti's new edition of Shelley have been inserted two short, poeruS of his maturest time, hi th erto unpublished. They were given at Florence to Miss Sophia Stacey, afterward lirrs4atty, and her family now allow them to appear. • The Athenttunt says : " There is another unpublished poem of Shelley in the bands' of a gentleman at Oxford. A fac-simile of tu`poet'm handwriting, giving a passage from Laen Bind Cynthia,' which shows some slight v e r bo ithergenee from the now current form of that, poem, termed The Revolt of [slain,' will accompany the second volume of the new diglitiOM —John Gibson's •Place In Art is thus defined by the Athenteum:;—)lis admirers would be 111- tam=tn: put/:Gibson On-a-fine even with Scowl.% . • much less'With Pratiteles; who seems to have, been his ideal.; 'That: Phidips was beYend his view was 'unfortunate, because ithe Athenian would have: taken' biM nearer to Nature than the;Parian., While Gibson, adored of , dilettanti, served as a'mirror of 'antiquity, ;there..Was hi• England a' sculptor, one Watson, so poor that he could not buy marble for the triumph, yet who wrought in plaster Sleep and Death bearing away- the -.Body of Sarpedon,' -worthy of being set in Homer's "Shield,"—those, magnificent bas-reliefs, at which few look, in Threadneedle street; and that masterpiece of modern sculpture, the statues of Eldon and Stowell, which are in University College, Oxford. Of course, the wreck of Watson was not the fault of Gibson. Had the professor-ridden dilettanti of that 'day known true art, apart from. Greece or RoMe, they would have seen that •Sarpedon' is worthy of a Greek, while it is not less Wat son's than his modern statues; whereas Gib son's Nymphs, Pandoras,' Narcissuses, Ama zons, anti theiike:are but' false antiques; and the chief merit of his 'Venni,vtinted or other- wise, lies in its likeness to any naked woman. large cartoon, which Kardbach began long ago in "holiday time," is now being exhibited by the industrious artist at Munich, for a charitable purpose, and has called forth attacks and reproaches from the Ultramontane party. It represents the Grand Inquisitor Arbnes (whom the Pope canonized two or' three years ago,) going to the execution of an heretical. family, who stand in the backgroUnd. The stake with its pile of wood is seen further off, and a troop of monks in solemn procession are advancing to the fatal spot. Besides the In quisitor, some servants of the InquiSition are collecting the moneys and valuables of which the condosined family have 'been despoiled. A day or two ago one of a party who had come to see the picture was explaining. the subject to his friends, when a gentleman who was present grew so angry that a scene en sued. "It was the imperative duty of a good Catholic to destroy such a calumnious work," he Said; and matters 'went so far that the police bad to be summoned; and since. then an extra policeman - 1s iu attendance at the Academy where the cartoon is exhibiting. Formerly, there wasrperhaps no town so large as Munich where liatiCal questions were so little re gardedifbr what did not immediately concern local interests was not heeded, and the elec tions passed over so quietly that there was hardly a sign of. their taking place. • Now x however, a battle is fought at the hustings as exciting and determined as elsewhere. ..Over night, as it were, people have become politi cians, and this change has heed produced solely by the encroachmens -- making, on the one hand, by Rome, apd - Prussia on the other. • —Mr. Ruskin's first lecture .as Slade Pro fessor of Fine Arts - at Oxford was to have been delivered,on Monday last, 14th.

The public will lose by the painter's illness, inso- Much as be will not, at best, be able to finish more than a single picture for• the coming Ex hibition. Although temporarily suspended, this work is far advanced towards completion. As it is one of the most important of his works, it would be affectation on our part not to note that it will be one of the most admirable of his productions. The subjectis derived from the Alcestis' of Euripides. THE "BREATH OF SONG." What we breathe at the opera or theatre is thus analysed and described in a 'document just prepared, through much labor and elaborate research and scrutiny, by Dr. It. C. Stiles, As sistant Sanitary Superintendent, Brooklyn, and submitted to Sanitary Superintendent Harris, of the Metropolitan Board of Health : "The particles Boatina b in the air and falling in the form of line dust were made the subject of patient investigation. Over 100 specimens of dust from nearly all the places of public amusement in New York were examined by the microscope. This dust was collected from places where it had been gradually de posited, as it would have been on plates of glass prepared for its 'reception. Although the localities from which it was derived were so various, its composition was quite uniform. The proportion of the various ingredients of which it was composed varied, but, the same constituent particles were found in all the specimens examined. It was the dust of the streets in its finer or coarser particles, accord= ing to the height at which it' was collected, with a large proportion of organic elements; particles of sand; of quartz and feldspar; of carbon from coal dust and lampblack; fibres of wool and cotton, of various tints; epidemic scales; granules of starch, of wheat, mainly, the tissues of plants; the epidermic tissue, ' recognized by the stomata •or breathing pores.; .vege. table ducts and fibres, with scalariform and spiral markings ; vegetable halts or down, either single or in tufts of four or eight; and of great variety, and three distinct kinds of pollens. Fungi were abundant from mere mierococcus granules to filaments of Mould. When water was added to a portion of dust, from whatever source, and exposed in a test tube to sunlight or beat for a few hours vibrioos and bacteria made their appearance, and the fungous ele ments sprouted and multiplied, showing that they maintained their vitality, and proving that the germs of fermentation and putrefaction are very widely diflbsed." Cattle• Driving In the Streets. S( EOM, LANE. Feb. 15, 1870.—T0 the Editor„of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin: Your timely remarks on the subject of driving beef cattle through our streets found a prompt response from this vicinity. 1 think I speak the sentiment of every resident on this lane from the Manayunk to the Germantown turn pike, when I say it is a most abominable nuisance: Once a week large droves of Western cattle, shot out of the Pennsylvania Railroad cars, over the river, are transported along this lane to Germantown, and the nature and the condition of our sidewalks after they have passed along is easier imagined than. described. We cannot wash our gravel walks as we do our pavements, and it' the weather should happen to he wet, they are churned up into a mixture of 'mud and manure, utterly unfit for pedes trians. The green banks are also cut into small avalanches of sod and dirt. In fact, it is next to impossible to keep our sidewalks de cent whilst this nuisance continues. It is re markable that cattle will always take to the side of the road,' and if they 'did not from choice, the incessant travel would drive them off the road into the foot-ways. Some of these droves are very long, and as the drivers are a long way M the rear generally, they are constantly strolling into ,enclosures, and the shrubbery sutlers in consequence. One of ;these wild animals got amongst my ever greens, when lie was not missed for over a day ; and when I ventured to remonstrate with the driver for allowing his cattle to invade THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN-PHILADELPIII A WEt 11 ,- FPAY, FEBRUARY 16,1870. private property, be replied, "Thou keep your, gate shut.!!.. , In ,no suburbof any city in I.'urope would such a'mtisance be permitted for one day, par t iNlarly:as . great . pains havg, !been -- taketr , - . w kb the sidewallks by many of the re.Sident,6 and On Sunday afternoon in summer'lis:.)l,llnobt like.

M NGTON. Feb. 15.—Republicanism marched to victory on crutches this morning. Thew has been for some time a dead lock iu the Levy Court, which has prevented the elec tion of county ofticent appointed by that body It was caused by the absence of a member from Appoquininiink Hundred, who had the misfortune to have a broken leg. The Demo crats also disputed his right to vote if present, dechu Mg him not a freeholder. To-day he was earlier! into the court-room, and the Re publicans thereby gaining their majority of one, the election proceeded, and resulted of course in the election of all the Republican candidates. There seems to be no foundation for the charge. that be is Hot a freeholder; at least the Demo crats failed to have any proof with them. You have had by telegraph the particulars of the outrage attempted on a young lady at Dover yesterday. Her name was Miss Flick. .She states that the negro was without clothing, .except boots, when he attacked her. The man rescued her was also colored. She had been in town attending a noon prayer-meeting, and has been in the habit of attending these sneetings regularly, of which fact her assailant Nvas probably aware, and so laid his plans to intercept her. A destructive tire occurred near Claymont last evening; by which a handsonie residence, owned and occupied by J. Hillborn Jones, a Philadelphia Merchant, was totally destroyed. It was insured for $1,900 in Wilmington corn• patties, and for $2,000 in the Royal Company, of London, but the loss is lately in excess of the insurance.

Wallace, White, Billingfelt and Brooke, reiterated that he had followed the practice of his predecessors in de positing the public funds. He had been obliged to draw upon the sinking , fund to a large extent, owing to the fact that appropria tions to charitable institutions, to soldiers' or phans, and common schools, had been largely increased. Large deficits were also to be met. Mr. Billingfelt, Chairman, and Senator Wal-. Jake,,concurred in, the expression that thestate; !tient presented by Mr. Mackey was not. In ac cordance with the request of the Conimittee. They had desired a monthly account of what the san►'e consisted. Mr. Mackeit said that - it was not the state ment that he had intended originally to prepare, but he had been guided by several members of the Committee, who bad expressed themselves satisfied. • • Statement.
