Church , * "Heart of the Andes:,
Mr. Church is an artist of whom the Americans
may be proud, not only because he has great
talent, but Houma that hiksat has beentilltivated
and brought to its presene , perfeetion Witliont the
usual finish of the Italian SiolititC
m a nner is, therefore, all 411S ,. .Ortit , po
wonderful neatness and finish; his :et:Prise is
utterly free from exaggeration;'he drives
AU these excellencies are to be found in "The
Heart of the Andes ;" but these qualities con
stitute not a great painter--consequently, oan
never suifice4or a great picture. Mr. Ohnroh's
oonirsitione are deficient in grandeur. 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? Is this' the glotting'
landscape brightened by. the hot sun above
warmed byvoloanoes beneatist
• The picture tells nothing. - Instead of tho Andes,
it Might represent, with- equal fidelity, the heart
Of Tyrol,: or the 'heart of the Swiss Alm The'
piothre is oOld; wanting in elevation and character.
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."
Public iUtittsements.
CONCERT oP MONNEUR AND MADAME BAD , .

Europe, but they have come to rarely before the
American piablio that few among the audience of
last evening were prepared for the artistio cneal ,
tome , and admirable voices they found.

Hanrioo in " Trovatore," and was, for four or
five years, prime torero at the Grand Opera in'

sympathetic, touching finality, which is the great
charm : of a tenor. Deward° Binge with great
feeling and expression. Ills method is pure and in
striple good taste. Ho was enrored ih " Spirt°
gentil," from " La Favorite," meet deservedly, for
it has never been better sung in this country.
Huse. 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. Croon gave us musical transerip•
dons of cascades and fountain, which, from the
cold brilliancy with which he played them, must
"have been Sewing in the Arctic rogione. Mr.
Oren is an exoollent madden—but very bad at
an sixonipanimant. It may be beneath a great
pianist to play for roost musk, but to the uniniti
ated, the blunders and bungles appear like igno
canoe, rather than like absences of condescending
prnins. Mr. and Mme. Banoarde will give another

nature, in tins respect, is only surpassed by her
talent. The pieties she has selected for her even

"One Coat for Two, Sults,"'and tie everlasting

the first time daring many years. His principal
attraction will be Mrs. Cecil Rash, after a long

et/TWITS CASE or MISTAKEN NENTITY.--IT
will be recollected that some time since Mr. Henry
Williams was arrested and held to bait in five
thousand dollars by the United States Commis
sioner and Justice Connolly, on charges of taking
a letter from the post•office addressed to F. A.
Williams, and forging the name of P. A. Williams,
by which operation he defrauded the Norwalk
(Conn.) Bank of three thousand dollars. 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.
A. Williams, his protestations obtained no cre
dence.
'Two days ago a new development wee made in

At the right moment Officer McDougal arrested
the criminal and liberated Williams. He was
charged outright with having obtained Mr. F. A.
Williams' note and the money upon it. Ile de

Twelfth street, near Fourth avenue, were searched,
and specimens of his handwriting obtained. A

Court of Quarter Sessions on a charge of larceny.
Strong efforts were made in her behalf, and the jury,
while forced to convict, recommended her to mercy.
The sympathy of the judge was naturally enlisted in

Air. Dunn concluded by expressing his pimiento in
being the organ of the friends of Coronet Forney on
this occasion, wishing him every possible ProisPent , to
his olfci.dcareer, and in his whble future. a life whose
records shall even vie with those of iU past in true no
bility and Penhitte manhood.
Colonel Forney, in respondi n c, took occasion to thank,
from the t ottom of Ms heart, those kind friends who
had surrounded him with this welcome and lIROX coated
greeting to Philadelphia. They had come to celebrate
an event in which he had lately held the most prowl-

grant:held of whatever was left rif politioel freedetn in
this reentry. It was the Itteewitible element at-work
iernlutlonizing the whole American nation.
All the men who Hearted this principle and defended
this right had been persecuted, in a manner heretofore
unprecedented, aild eminently disgraceful to our na
tional character. Proecrip ions and persecutions of the
moat infittnout eheracter had been perpetrated upon
theifi ; proheriptiotte add pentecutions which if they had
been tnatureited to the old etruntty, would hove stirred

to the Republican ranks—until he had committed an

would join the Republlcante and in such an event he

Col. Forney concluded by Melding creme more to the

We may state, in the first place, that the bell fs

For many reasons, the cast-steel bell, for fire-alarm

to ring. and require less strength in the construction of
their support. The greater elasticity of steel admits of
