flu IN LONDON. The Italian Re naissance Defier, Itapbatet. Four evenings previous to the delivery of his first Oxford lecture Mr. Ituakin pronounced at. the Royal Institute a discourse on' "Verona and its Rivers," from which We can only take the conclusion, The lecturer called, attention to the fact that he bad divided the draWings from Verona placed in the roam into three separate series. The first"of an-called Lombard architecture; the second of Gothic, the third of the early period of Revival, with its connected painting. Of the the third period, in Which art and science in Italy gained their highest per fection,.Mr. Ruskin said : "And now, thirdly, we come to the period when classical literature and art were again known in Indy, and the painters and sculptors, who had been gaining steadily in power for two hundred years—power not of practice merely, but Of race also—with every circum stance in their favor around them, received h their finally perfect instruction, bot in secs metrical science, in that of materials, and in the anatomy and adieu of the human body. Also the people about them—the Models of their work—had been perfected in personal beauty by a chivalric war; in imagination by a transcendental philosophy; in practical intel lect by stern struggle for civic law; and in commerce, not in 'falsely made or vile or un clean things, but in lovely things, beautifully and honestly made. And now, therefore, you get out of all the world's long history since it was peopled by men till now—you get just fifty years of perfect work. Perfect. It is a strong word—it is also a true one. The doing of these fifty years is unaccusably Right, as art; what its sentiment may be—whether too great or too little—whether superficial or sin cere—is another question, but as artists' work it admits no conception of anything better. " It is true that in the following age, founded on the absolutely stern rectitude of this, there came a phase of gigantic power, and of exqui site ease and felicity, which possess au awe and a charm of their own. They are more inimitable than the work of the perfect School. 'But they are not perfect. It is a subtle question whether the greater manifestation of power in them in dicates greater inherent power or not. I am not able—no man, unless of their equals, would be able—to tell you, whether there is really more strength in GrainsborOugh, who can draw a mouth with one undulating sweep Of his pencil, or in Carpaccio, who will take half an hour at least to do apparently little more. But'l can tell you positively that Carpaccio'S work is faultless . when done—it is a mouth, and a perfect one, Whereas Gainsborough's is only'a lovely streak of vermillion, which looks like a mouth a little way off. • "Now it is very difficult to find a name for this wonderful fifty years' space. You cannot .call it classical; for its styles differ in all kinds of ways from the time antkfue. Still less can you call it Christian, for its direct inspiration is entirely heathen. You cannot name it from any king,'for no king of this, time was worthy of the age; and you cannot name it from any one art niaster, for twenty masters were equally worthy the age at once. So I shall call it simply the Age of the . Masters.' Fifty Years. Mind you I cannot name half their great workmen for you, but these are the greatest of them—Luini,Leonardo, John Bel- Vettor Carpaccio, ndrea Mantegna, Au ' Brea Verrocchio, Chita da Corregliano, Peru gino' and in date, . though Only in his earlier life, belonging to the school, Raphael. But you may best recollect the great fifty years as the prime•of life of three men. John Bellini, born 1430; died at 00, in 1516; Mantegna,born 1.430; died at id, in 1506, and Vetter Carpac do—l am not sure of the date of his birth, bat be died in 1522. "Now 'observe, the object of these masters is wholly different from that of the former school. "The central Gothic men always want chiefly to impress you with the facts of their subject; but the masters of this. finished time desire only to make everything dainty and de- . iightful. We have not many pictures of the class in England, but several have, been of late added. to the National Gallery, and the Peru •gino there, especially the compartment with Raphael and .Tobit s and the 'little St. Jerome by Sohn Bellini, will perfectly show you this main character—pictorial perfectnesS and de liciousness—sought • before everything else. You will find, if you look into that St. Jerome, that everything in it is exquisite, complete and pure; there is not a particle of dust in the cupboards,' nor a cloud in the air; the wooden . shutters are dainty, the candlesticks are dainty, the saint's scarlet hat is dainty, and its violet tassel, and its ribbon, and his blue cloak and his spare pair of shoes, and his little brown partridge—it is all a perfect quintessence of innocent luxury s -absolute delight, without one drawback in it. •"A Nativity by Luini, belonging to the present Count Borromeo, lis painted rather more slightly than usual work in oil— and with a felicity of heart that wholly refuses to see anything grave in this Nativity ; it is a bright fable of perfect' joy, and heaven come down to earth—the Madonna is not Worship ping the child, hut merely holding it and gazing at it, her face lost in one sweet satisfied rap ture of mere love. She is going to lay it in the manger—and because the straw is out of order two exquisite little cherubs, with ruby wings, are shaking it up. " The Peter Martyr, by John Bellini, is very valuable, because you see in a moment the main characteristic of the school, that it mat ' tered not in the least to John, and that he doesn't expect it to matter to you, whether people are martyred or not, so long as one can make a pretty grey Of their gowns, and a nice white of their sleeves, and infinite decoration • of forest leaves behind, and a divine picture at last out of all. Everything in the world.was done arid made only that it might be rightly painted; that is the true master's creed. a I used to think all this very wrong once, and that it meant general falseness and hard ness of heart, and so on. It means nothing of the kind. It means only that one's only soul is put into one's work, and that the entire soul so spent is healthy and happy, and cannot vex itself with questions, cares, or pains." The Rivers of Verona. Mr. Ruskin next proceeded, amidst the pro found and animated attention which his elo quence had imposed upon his audience, to speak to practical purpose of the rivers of Ve rona. Ile said : "There is but one river at Verona; never theless Dante connects its name with that of Fo when be says of the whole of Lombardy, 4 In sail Paese che Adice e Po riga, Solea valore e cortesta trovarsi Prima che Federigo avesse briga.' I want to speak for a minute or two about those great rivers; because in the efforts that are now being made to restore some of its commerce to Venice precisely the same ques tions are in course of debate which again and again, ever since Venice was a city, have put her Senate at pause—namely, how to hold in check the continually advancing morass formed by the silt brought down by the Alpine rivers. Is it not strange that for at least six hundred _sears the Venetians have been contending with those rivers at their mouths—that is to say, where their strength has become wholly irre sistible—and never once thought of contending with them at their sources. ,* • We seek gold_beneatli the rocks; and we will not so much as make a trench along the hillside to catch it where it falls from heaven, and where, if not so caught, it changes into ,2, frantic • monster, first ravaging Intact, hill, and plain, then sinking along the shores • I:of Venice into poisoned sleep. Think (what : that belt. or the Alps might he—up to four thousand feet above the plain—if the system of terraced irrigation which even half-savage na tion &covered and practiced !ung w• in China and in Bornco,iiia by which our own engineers , have subdued vast districts of far Blest weit'_ but:in part .also_: practiced here—lierei In the oldest and: proudest centre ofEuropearr arts, where Leonardo da Vinci master among xnasters 2 —fu•st 'diseerned, - the laWs of, the 'polling clouds' and wandering streams, so that to this day , his engineering re mains unbettered by modern science; and yet in this centre of all human achievements of genius no thoughtlias beep taken to receive with sacred art these great gifts of quiet snow and flying rain. Think, 1 repeat, what that south slope of the, Alpo might be :.one para dise of lovely pasture and avenued .forest of : chestnut and blossomed trees; with cascades docile and innocent as infants, laughing all summer long, from crag to crag and pool to pool, and the Adige, and the ye, the Dora,and the Ticino, no more defiled, no more alter nating between fierce flood anti venomous lan gour, but in calm clear currents bearing ships to every city and health to every field of all that azure plain of Lombard Italy. " Now I know that you come to .the Royal Institution that you may pass,.if it may be, a pleasant evening, and that I haie no right to tease you with economical or -philanthropical projects; but, thinking of you now as in dulgent friends, with whom I am grateful to be allowed to begin, as you know I first in public tie - gin to-day, work involving not small respon, sibility, you will not think it wrong in me to tell you it has now become a most graVe object 'with me to get sonic of the goat pictures of the Italian schools' into England; and that I think at this time—with good help—it might be contrived. Further, without in the least urging my plans impatiently on anyone else, I know thoroughly that this which I have said should be done, can be done, for the Italian rivers, and that no method of employment of our idle able-bodied laborers would be in the end more remunerative, or in the beginnings of it more healthful and every way beneficial than, with the concurrence of the Italian and Swiss Governments setting' them to redeem the valleys of the Ticino and the Rhone. And I pray you to think of this; for I tell you truly —you who care for. Italy--that: both • her passions and her mountain streams are noble; but that her happiness depends not on the liberty, but the right government of both." MSS MITTOJID--•HER LOVE OF NA- 'kritE AND ANLIIALS: Miss Mitford's father was a great lover of coursing,and "his treasure " was early initiated into the' lore and language of the kennels. This explains, to ,some extent, another of her marked characteristics, her intense fondness for dogs. Her letters to her friends abound in descriptions Of the greyhounds,• and she re fens to their sex and parentage with a freedom which the Quarterly lleriew has been harsh enough to call unladylike. But she could write about animals in a style which neither Scott nor Cowper has surpassed, or, perhaps, even equalled. r The tenderness, the humor, and the wonderful sympathy which she dis plays upon this favorite` topic are, perhaps, un rivalled in English literature. We shall quite a 'small portion of one passage in which she commemorates the virtues of Mosstrooper, • a beloved erelhound just deceased; which was never intended for publication, and was found in au envelope sealed up with some of the ani mal's hair. Such raptures inspired by a dog we should expect beforehand to think mis placed and unbecoming. We doubt, however, if such will be the opinion of, the rolloWing passage among any readers of taste or sense: "His coat was of the finest and most glossy black, with no white, except a very little under' his feet (pretty,. white shoe-linings, I used to call them)—one little beautiful white spot, quite small, in the very middle of his neck, be tween his chin and his breast—and a white mark on his bosom. His face was singularly beautiful; the finest black eyes, very bright, and yet sweet, and fond, and tender—eyes that seemed to speak; a beautiful, complaisant mouth, which used sometimes to show one of the long, white teeth at the side; a jet-black nose ; a brow which was bent and flexible, like Mr. Fox's, and gave great sweetness and ex preSsion and a look of thought to his dearface. There never was such a dog! His temper was, beyond comparison, the sweetest ever known. Nobody ever saw him out of humor. And his sagacity was equal to his temper. Thank God, he went off without suffering. He must have died in a moment. I thought I should have broken my heart when I came home and found what had happened. * * • a * • George and Frank Alloway buried him ; and Granny, Drum, and I, Marmy, Moses, Whim and Molly were mourners. Everybody so sorry. Everybody loved him —'-dear saint," as I used to call him, and as I do Lot doubt he now is! No human being was ever so faithful,. so gentle,.so generous,and so fond. I shall never love anything half so well. My own beloved Mossy, Heaven bless you! • His delight at seeing me when I had been Out in the gig was inex pressible. lie knew the sound of the wheels, and used to gallop to meet me, talking his own pretty talk. lie met me in this way at the white gate on the Thursday before he died on the Saturday. Whilst I had him I was always sure of having one who would love me alike in riches or in poverty—who always looked at me. with looks of the fondest -love—always faithful and always kind. To think of him was a talisman against vexing thoughts. A • thousand times I have said ' I want my Mossy,' when that dear Mossy wasclose by, and would put his dear black nose undeYty hand .on hearing, his name." • Can 'anything well be finer than ber picture of the tall frosted oaks in 'the beginning of the first series? . "Imagine the effect of a straight and regular double avenue of oaks, nearly a mile long, arching overhead, and closinff e' into perspective like the roof and columns ofa cathedral, every tree and branch incrusted with the bright and delicate congelation of boar frost, white and pure as snow, delicate and defined as carved ivory ! Bow beautiful it is, how uniform, how various, how filling,, bow satiating ;to the eye and to the mind—above all, how'melancholy There is a thrilling awfulness, an intense feel ing of simple power, in that naked and color less beauty which falls on the earth like the thoughts of death—death pure and glorious and smiling, but still death. Sculpture bas al- Ways the same eflitet on my imagination, and painting never. Color is life." In her profound appreciation of, and sym pathy with, nature and rural life, Miss Mitford found a solace for her trouble which is denied to the inhabitant of cities. Dr. Johnson Would have treated this idea with the contempt which it possibly deserves ; yet it is difficult to aban don it after reading such passages as the fol lowing : • • , "I was this afternoon for an hour on-Heck- field-heath. a common dotted with cottages and • a large piece of water backed by woody hills ; the nearer portion of ground a forest of oak and birch, and hawthorn and holly, and fern, intersected by grassy glades; a road winding through ; and behind us the tall trees of Strathfieldsaye Park. On an open space, just large enough for the purpose, a,cricket match was going on—the older people sitting by on benches; the younger ones lying about under the trees; and a party of boys lust seen glancing backward and forward in a sunny glade, where they were engaged in an equally merry and far more noisy game. Well, there we stood, Ben and I anu Flush, watching and erjoying the enjoyment we, witnessed. • 'And I thought ,it I had no pecuniary anxiety, it' my deaf father were stronger, and our dear friend well, I should be the happiest creature in the world, so strong was the influence of that happy scene." THE DAILY EV.ENING BULLETIN7-PiII.LADELPIJIA...FRILMY,:FEI3RIJARY 25, 1870. IS THE, norsB MINS courrs BUILT. „ , cohrtribia Itiar4et. The most wonderful Opt , : in Louden is per-: haps the market which Alms iCoutts has , built, at Bethnal Green for the accommodation of the divelleis in the square which she has also built.' An irreverent arid . nratter.:Of-fact ob-; server might perhaps.lie: teMpted to apply to what he saw the epithet 4, COutta's Folly," and certainly our respect for the founder's motive, sad the utmost ellintof our powers of imagi nation, will not enable us to discover any,pres pea of bringing custom to this Market unless Miss Coutts will give the money which is to buy, the comnicalities which are , exposed , for sale. This market:ivas opened With impoSing ceremony on the 28th of last April, and it would be Indicrevis, if.it werdiot melancholy, to Contrast the •descriptionin the newspapers of what was intended to be dons with our own observation of what has been done in the en suing period. "We find, on reference to the Times, that the highest style of :writing , was brought to hem on the occasion.: We are told that one of the most munificent and beautiful gifts ever offered to the,poor of London had been inaugurated at Bethnal Green.. We are doubtful whether we ought to understand that the inaugural function was performed by the Archbishop of Canterbury or by Miss Coutts, or by both. But we cannot help thinking that if the Archbishop professed to believe in the prosperity of Columbia Market he must have felt very like an augur In the enlightened , age of Pagan Rome. This " almost cathedral pile," as the Times calls it,cost upWards of £200,000, and it was intended for the inhabitants of Bethnal Green to supply themselves with daily necessaries. The comparison to a cathedral pile is made by the Times on the' authority of, a right reverend prelate who came to see the central hall, and said that all it wanted was a pulpit to carry out the notion that it was the nave of a fine church. ,There is not, and never has been, any trade going on in this central hall; but if there were, we`should think that it bore a strong re seniblance to that church of which it was once .said, My house shall be, called the house of prayer, brit ye have made it a den of thieves." We are told again that wherever one turns there is something' to attract the eye and please the taste, and we may add that this is unde niably true, inasmuch as at this moment the ball contains neither cowheel nor tripe. We are invited to admire the skill with ,which a mag- nificent series of buildings has been adiipted to a market, and we feel that the only thing that is now necessary is that the market should adapt itself to the buildings. 'A splendid re ceptacle bas been constructed for the trade of Bethnal Green, and the sole remaining diffi culty is to persuade the trade of Bethual - Green to occupy it. The ball is surrounded by shops lined with polished Irish marble,and above these runs a gallery in which flowers, fruit and vege tables may be sold. We may convey a notion of what the projectors of this market hope to realize if we request readers to imagine that Claie Market were removed to the side 'aisles of Westminster Abbey. The gates of the market-house are masterpieces of wrought iron-work. The corridors are roofed with caned groined arches of polished teak. Every pillar is of polished granite, and the capital of every pillar is a little chapter of ornament iu itself. Amid all this bewildering magnificence a few butchers and greengrOcers, a stationer and a grocer, look very much like "Mr. Toole" in ,Uncle Dick when he visits in his dream the splendid mansion of his married niece. In deed we should think that the tradesmen we have enumerated must sometimes feel as if they were dreaming when they con template the grandeur of the " pala tial market" in which they attempt to carry on their trades. It will not, we hope, excite surprise or disappointment among the admirers of this noble edifice to learn that only one stationer has opened shop in it, and he seems at present to .be devoting himself • principally to the sale of valentines which ex emplify an age and style of art very different from those which the builder and his assistants have labored, to recall. There is an attempt to preserve congruity with the building in the characters in which the 'names of the trades men are inscribed over their shops, but it is not carried; as such attempts sometimes are, to the extent of rendering the names illegible. There is a market-house inn and a coffee-house, but we have too much respect for the susceptibili ties of the•propijetbla to 14quire.whether they are doing any business. The Magic of a "flue and Gilded About equally with Tupper, the dainty cor respondent of the Daily Telegraph is the butt and hero of the London. Press. As witness "It is all very well (says the Pall Mall Gazette) to sneer at the disturbances in Paris, but they have nearly led to an event which would have plunged the whole 'civilized world into mourning, and caused'most of the palaces in Europe to close their shutters. On Tuesday 'evening we as nearly as possible lost the Paris correspondent of the Daily Telegraph. That great and mysterious man was, according to his own account, standing on the bridge over the canal in some street on the Boulevard , du Temple. Suddenly a squadron of cavalry appeared, the captain of which claimed the hero fora prisoner, and summoned him to, sur render. Most men would have fainted away; not so the correspondent of the Telegraph. Little did that captain „guess whom he bad taken captive. The great correspondent merely unbuttoned his paletot and disclosed the "blue and gilded" coat in which he had, as he in formed the officer, been that evening to the Home Becietary'e reception. We may imagine the feelings of the captorhe could not repress his emotion. " Do,"he exclaimed, "for God's sake, get out of this galere, or perhaps there will be an unpleasant hole in that smart coat." The correspondent then retreated to "Thorpe's, where they subscribed" and gave him a " Bos ton floater." Who were "they," and what 'is a "Boston floater ?" We cannot tell—it was probably something very grand and good; but is it necessary for the eminent journalist to run such risks and alarm us all in this way ? Let the , Emperor, M. 011ivier and Rochefort fight their battles themselves; but if we lose oor Telegraph correspondent we shall never see his like again-'--and whatever shall we do without him ?" 1115.

The decree declares that every one who is willing to work eantake care of himself, while the laws will , protect all classes. This measure is warmly applauded by the liberal and progressive parties. The Cap tain-General intends to issue a decree abolish ing the privilege of trial by special courts hitherto enjoyed by persons in the Army, Navy and Church, and by • foreigners. This will do away with tribunals of Commerce for foreigners and others, and will strike at the root of the partial and unjust administration of the laws. The Difirio published documents revealing the existence of a Cuban Junta in Santiago de Cuba, which has for a long time assisted the insurgents with information and material. The members of the Junta, 18 in number, were arrested, the charges ao•ainst them proved, and all were executed. Forty.ilist Conareati—Necondi s *emston.
