Take any portion of this picture, and consider it in detail, whether it bathe iibliage of the trees or the luxu riant underbrush, or the cleat, heavekletleoUnd waters; eackind all separately are admirable. The way in Which the light le thrown on the fore ground is original and - happy; yet, as a whole, the picture is rather a disappelntMent.' As we gale, the gigantic Andes dwindle in one's imagina tion. Can tins be the luxuriant nature of which' we' hear such wonders?

Strange to say, It is wanting in the Ideal, proving that the transcendental school, to which Mr. Church_ battings, has but the seriblande of podtri and Imagination. If traneoendentalistrt, tends to make small things and small people great, It certainly, per contra, makes great things small. Mr.'Ohureh's painting is an illustration of the ten dency of tide school. In order to help the judgment of those who view the picture, a neat little pamphlet, in vesture of brown and gold, is (for the, sum of fifteen cents) furnished the visitor. Certainly, if hard !sprits constitute .criticism, and phrases in which there is not a glimmering of meaning, represent taste and art,' this- brown and gold production, by Bev. L. L. Noble, is the Tory some Of - perfeothin—but for ourselves, being "of the earth earthy," we prosaically consider such pasiages as the following, nonsense: "There, overlooking both a continent and the Pacite, pouring her floods into the ono, and rolling them ;arose the other, the BOOS 211vas and pampas alter nately welter ba the rains and pant in the blase of endless summer. /Ivan& these, in extents that. imitate the exPanseliof the sea, rivers wind their glittering coils. Pit foreground for these vent Cordilleras, whose sovereign heights, gleaming forever with Meth lee, repeat the dome of the, sky into which Omnipotence has bait them." If a book was' to be written about this pieture, we should like to have been told something about the artist's journey to the Andes. Some account would have been pleasant of his adventures in this artietio exonrsion: ill at here, in twenty-four pages, we have one page and a half about the pteture— nothing about its history ; in fact, all vie have is high-flown, insipid, meaningless ,bombast. To the' thinking, common-sense portion of the public, such an introduction can but prejudice them against the picture--one of great merit, but not in one single point bearing the stamp of highest genius and "imagination all compact."

Bauaarde peeresses a mosso-soprano yoke, fresh, powerful, and expreseive. She is full of dramatist power and feeling, and lett on the public regret that ehe could not be heard in opera. She is essentially a dramatic singer—aGnynaniga, with a voice, and knowing how to sing. We are persuaded that she would, in opera, become a pent favorite with the Philadelphia public. Signor At davani,whose smooth, even voice and artistic style bevebeford been appreciated here, joined Mons. and Mine. Baucarde in the glorious trio of " I Lombar , di," which was given with sont-stirring effect. Signor Maocaferri, a boisterous tenor, who rang here with [ 'the Mines Heron, was not more agreeable to hear last night than when he first displeased the public. bete. Mr. M. H.

The ac eased strenuously protested his innocence, but as he was positively identified by the Work at the post•offioe as the man who received the letter, and by the clerk at Adams' Express office as the person who received the three thousand dol lars brought by them from Norwalk, for Mr. F.

As regards the quality of the nor cid evo l ved, while it is far more slinti and piercing thy: that which characterises the Coerpositien bell., it is, i' anything. more voluminous and richer in to•e. As the subject has elicited considerable remark of late, we felt an in terest in the result of thin experiment, and are now so entirely satisfied with it that we deem it but proper to add a word respecting the progress these cast-steel bells are making. bo b here and in Europe. We may state, in the first place, that the bell fs patent nrticle, having only been manufactured since 15.55, since which time about fifteen hundred of them have been tondo. and are nowin use in England. and on the Continents of Furope and America mainly. The in ventor' and manufacturers of them are Messrs. Naylor, Vickers de Co. tl•eir main establishment (where, he bells are all cast) being at Sheffield, England. Three branch establishments for Chemicals are located in this country, of which one is at 610 Commerce Street, Philadelphia 1 one at No. SO State street, Boston; and another at Nos, 09 and 101 John street. New York. For many reasons, the cast-steel bell, for fire-alarm a,l church purposes. is preferatila to the compos ;ion allele. It weighs lees by about thirty-five per cent.. and is for that reason leas unwieldy, while the redoes two in cost iS to a Itin granter eftwortion.

They are, for this reason. easier to ring. and require less strength in the construction of their support. The greater elasticity of steel admits of more powerful vibrations ; consequently, its sound pe so-' testes to a greater distance, and La at the same time more pure and melodious.
