As to the respite tivo merits of the two, criticism is so largely a matter of opinion, that it is dill'icult if not impossible to roach a correct conclusion. Personally I have never been an admirer of tho Frouch school of paiuliug and do not love too well the modern Italian, but I do like tho paintings of tbo Eng lish artists anJ particularly Land seer's animals.

Amerioan art. which is but yet in its iufaooy, is poorly represented. Not only is the apaco allotted ue - scautly filled, but our best artiste are not repre sented, and none of our best known painting are ou exhibition. There are half dozen collection in New York city which are finer. Indeed I suppose tbore is tbo smallest possi ble enoonragetuent for an American artist to send pictures to Europe hoping for a market, as it would be eluioat as groat folly as sending eoal to Newcastle.
