FINE ARTS,
On last evening tbs gallery or the Pennsylvania
Aoadcmy of Fine Arts was opened—after Its short
close to receive new paintings for the spring exhi
bition—to such of thepubllo as had received Invita
tions to the private view. Una rooms were crowded
wlththe beauty, Intelligence, fashion, and wealth
of the olty, and Inasmuch as a serious difficulty was
presented by the orowded state of the gallery to the
critic, no one who was not thoroughly alive to the
necessities of >hts position could have managed to
give anything like a review of the platnres whleh
were hanging on the walla. Wo, however, managed
to obtain a tolerably realizing sense of their merles
and demerits. In placing this at once before our t
readers we shall gratlly at the same time their de
sire lor the earliest possible expression of opinion,
and their thirst for particular and detailed Informa
tion.
The works sent In by our resident artists are gene,
rally of a higher olass than they have heretofore
been. There are a smaller number of absolutely,
detestable Works amongst them; At the same time,
no new man has particularly evidenced any tenden
cy to lisa out of the general ring, and wo still recog
nize Booh artiste as Sothermel, Hamilton, and liamb
dln, as by their differentclasses of merit, incontesta
bly supreme upon the walls, of our yearly exhibition
of paintings.
Bothermet exhibits one very fine picture, Ifo. sis.
If not so great in obneeptlon and massive breadth
of color as his “ Christian Martyrs”—we apologize
to him if we do not give the name oorreotly—it Is
much more complete la Its excellence. Of course, It
is by no means of a size legitimately to be compared
with the work wo allude: to, but is nevertheless a
large .picture. The subject'is taken fromSoott’s
“Lay of the Last Minstrel,” and embodies the In
troductory soene to that poem of the Scottish
novelist.
The dlsjjpsltlon of the figures in this canvas Is
masterly in the extreme, and the aged Minstrel Is
eonoelved with a fine and roughly peetie feeling of
the highest order. The color la, as always lh
Rotbeimel’s canvas, superbly and gravely rich,
while the handling is vigorous and telling la the
extreme. The drawing 1b In part ft .excellent-
Amongst three we may more specially Instance the
head and hands of the old Minstrel, the last of
which are drawn with splendid truth and feeling-
In portions of the painting the outline, however, is
somewhahvague and careless, as If the artist was
hurrylsg over his labor, and would not take the
trouble to do as muoh as he has the power to effect,
We may point out, as a beautiful bit of arttstio
skill, the manner In whleh the skirt of the liudy of
Brankßome Hall’s dreßS Is painted. This, which
is *a shot-gray satin, Is rendered with a de
lightfully perfect ease, and may stand alone In
this exhibition on the score both of the*perfection
and freedom of Its finish. His “ Lady Macbeth,”
No. 043, is a olever sketch, and originally conceived,
bnt demands no very lengthy examination; while
another canvas of his, apparently of a Scriptural
subject, and numbered, If we remember rightly, 628,
Is solemn and rich in color, although this is not so
distinctively characteristic; of the master as Bother
mol’s ordinarily Is. One small but very exquisite
study of tone, equal to any of the Yeulrtan mas-
lts rich and sensuous, oharaeter, Is his
canvas oalled “ The Bather.” We honestly believe
It has never been exceeded. Thb flesh is not watte,
or red, or gray, but positively luminous. Yet even
n this a greater finesse and aoouraoy In outline
might have been desirable. We, however, pardon
Botbermel for his carelessness in this respect when
we turn our eyes upon the large canvas—No. 623.
This Is oalled “II Fenseroso,” and Is a long and
vulgar study of a half-nude figure. The drawing
Is not like Xothermel’e, careless. It is absolutely
bad. The hands are awkward. Incomplete, and too
large, ami we felt, In looking at it, that the Penn
sylvania Academy had most unjustifiably Injured
the painter by consenting to give It a place upon
their walls. .
Lambdln’s paintings are all of them small In
size, If, as we. fancy,, we saw every canvas whleh
he exhibits. The most beautiful of thorn Is
“Golden Summer” (No. 626), and'his “Spring;’ 1
which bangs very near it, approaches it very
closely in point of excellence. The subject ol
the first consists •of two young lovers, in the
primal dawn, of passion, standing.by some railing
looking over a cornfield. The tender feeling of their
passion oolors their faces, whleh are barely presented
In more or less than profile to the spectator. The
doubtfnl calm of the maiden Is admirably eon
traßted with the pleading earnestness of the young
man.; beyond them .lire the yeUow.eorn, and In the
distance Is the tranquil landscape, somewhat too
greyly colored. We may also eXpiess our opinion that,
a trifle of greater strength In the draperies would
have benefited the canvas, bnt suggest .this only,
so charmed do we feel with the grave slmpUolty of
the whole tone and feeling the painter here da.
vnlops. Mr. Hambdln also exhibits a cleverly sketch
ed oanvaß of “ Winter Quarters.” This Is No 6«
and represents an officer In his tent, leaning hack in
his camp-chair amd.ipst In thought. Although by
no means so fine a painting as the one we have al.
ready noticed, It probably be more generally
relished, being a military subject. War,
In every ahapmhas so long and persistently engross
ed the mind and heart of the nation, that it must
naturally excite an influence upon the lover of art,
independently of the intrinsic merits of the-paint
lsg which is presented to Mm.
Perhaps the gem ol this exhibition might be justly
considered a small canvas by Merle, whleh Is as ex
quisite a bit of somewhat French feeling as we have
ever seen. Mr. G. F. Tyler Is the owner of this '
painting, and we candidly envy Mm the possession ol
It, This Is No. 560, and is oalled “ MatefnalAffoa. -
tlon.” In composition, feeling, and color It Is
almost unlqfiWyjperfbot., Nothing whloh we have
recently seenoould be more delicious than the pure
and sunny shadow thrown across the upper part of
the mother’s face. We may also endorse the draw
ing aa exquisitely refined and delicate. Perhaps
we might wish fora greater strength occasionally
shown in the shadow. We. however, feel the beau
ty and grace of this little worksso keenly, that we
feel unworthy to suggest, anything as a deficiency.
No. 660," The Forager’s Return,” by Mif Blspham,
.might have been made a capital painting, had
Hie artist’s skill in handling, and his force in light
and shade as well as oolor, been lit tolerable approxi
mation to Ms power in design. i
Sohusselo exhibits two paintings which demand.
notice--The first of these Is.an ambitious work,
which he oaUs “The IrorfWorker,” (No. 614) whloh Is
probably a snbjeot taken from the Pagan Mytholo
gy, although at the present moment, not having a
catalogue In our hands, we are unable to place It.
correctly. In eomposltlonit Is olever—ln expression,
'occasionally very fine. The color Is wall arranged,
bnt 1b too gaily crude for a snbjeot of this class, and
the drawing ranges from excellence to ladiffareuoe,
with a perlootly charming looseness of Intention.
Hls “Burial of the Bird”—No. 606—is a composi
tion out of which he might have made a very fine
picture. As it is, the expression he has given the
different heads of the children officiating at the
ceremonial—varying from the most passionate sor
row to the most peifeet Indlfferenoe as to the end of
the unlucky fledgling about to be deposited in the.
earth, Is very suggestive and olever. However, the.
back-ground of the picture and the remainder of
the figures Is toe liny; and no attempt has been made
in any portion of the plctnre to glaze this llnlness
Into breadth and solidity.
A charming little oanvas is exhibited by Blau
velt, wbioh he calls “Tasting Broth”—No. 634.
Bnt we can by no means.eompllment Mm so warm
ly upon the larger pant ting, which he calls “Waiting
for the Stage.” This la No. 138, and la bat.a varied
repetition of a subject which he has frequently be
fore painted, with a freezing ooldneaa lh the color,
wbioh renders the action of the gentleman warming
hls hands at the stove perfectly appropriate. The
small canvas, by the same artist, whloh ha calls
“The Busty Knife,” No, 606,1 b finer, although still
too cold in its general tone. Nothing could well
be more satisfactorily rendered, however, than the
head of the child. Mr. Blanvelt needs greater
warmth, almost-invariably, Is hls tone.
_ A nlover platMa caJ-lod u-nrtor’S rnUOH"— '
No. 651—proceeds from the pencil of Mr. Ferris. We
say clever, It decidedly is, la effeat and feeling.
The drawift, however, Is rather Indifferent, whloh,
when Hie painter can use the brush with go -muoh
trim and power, K has no right to be.
No. 6081 s called “Awaiting a Customer.” This
painting has no right to a place on the sight-line,
whether on the Bcore of Its drawing effect, color, or
even of Us mere Unoar-perspeotlvo.
Another somewhat less Indlfferentsketoh—No. 695
—has also no right to itsplaoe upon the sight-line.
A portrait of Mr. Orepon, by hlmseir, whloh Is
numbered 699, ft one of those exceedingly and un
pleasantly olever portraits whloh an artist should
never exhibit. It 1b literal, yet broad, and we can
scarcely doubt that It must be a striking likeness.
If Mr. Orepon oan work In this way, with a some
what more agreeable hand and feeling, he ought to
stand very high as a painterof Hie male head.
“Watching their Neighbors over the Way” is a
large canvas by Mr. Wittkamp. It Is numbered
624, and contains Two lejnalo figures scanning their
neighbors* proceedings, in a small' mirror held be
tween them, from an open window. The window is
surrounded by flowers, amongst whloh are a profu
sion of splendid oaqtoses. It is rarely, that we have
sets female heads more charmingly touched and
drawn than the heads of these two girls, while the
towers are exquisitely painted. Yet the snbjeot
wants both breadth of effect and interest to us—
almoßt entirely. Consequently, .we cannot, under,
stand the zeaeon whloh Induced Mr. Wtttkamp to
paint It. unless It was a commission, This we
should scarcely suppose it to be, as the position of
the female'heads. gives him but little ehauoe of
making good or Available likenesses.
Carl Bubner exhibits—we - presume through Its
possessor—a pleture which we have seen some years
since. This is No. 609—“ The Amanuensis ” It
is an excellent picture of the .modern O-ermant ehool
—correct in drawing, careful In its costume, earnest
and Intelligent In Its handling, clever In expres
sion, but somewhat too solid in its color.
A capital Bmall easel study ot a head, called " The
Philosopher ’—No. 711—Is also on the list of works
on tbewalls. The painter la Mr, Jerlberg—evidently
another German, although we coufesg,onrsalves un
acquainted with his name. Ifle la its manner
very sound and vigorous as a sketch. As a picture,
It wants more .julca In the shadow.
"We have not as yet said a single .word about onr
marine painters, one df.whom la the jmstspoetlc and
vital artist in.this line that this oeniioenUias pro
duced. We, of ooarse, allude to Hamilton. He ex
PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, APRIL 25. 18.66.
hlblts two largo marine subjects, which are Unllspa
tably,lf not two of hie finest works, so nobly con
ceived and painted that we doubt whether any other
artist could be met with who might have prodaoed
them. lit the vigor of their conception and the
breadth of their effect, these wonfd be, If
we had previously known nothing of their pro
ducer, two remarkable works. As It Is, we
have grown so acoustomed to' the mastery ef Ms
brash, and his gray depth and extent of space,, that
they produce no effect upon ns, save admiration.
The first of these Is'No. 546, “ Sunrise,” and the
second is No. 606, “ Sunrlsß upon the Ooiaat.” Mag
nificent as each or them Is, the one Is much the
grander In Its conception and execution, The lout?
sweep of the olive-gray water In the middle dis
tance Is marvellously true, although the wave
breaking In front is In parts somewhat too hard and'
formal. What oan be clearer and more admirably
aerial than the determined color In the upper por
tion ol the sky, and with what a superb and facile
ease are the shipping and araft In the middle-dis
tance touched In 1 Ho also exhibits a painting of
‘‘Niagara,” No. 662, which possesses a remarkably
large feeling for space, and Is atmospherically very
; fine. The cliff to the right Is however too lndefl
* nltely handled, and the picture would be greatly
Improved If It had been translated upon the canvas
with a completer foroe and finish. We might have,
fancied tbat this error had arisen from Mr. H mu
ton’s Incapacity te paint foliage and rook, were It
not that In his “ Moonlight,” which hangs above
the sight-line, and IS numbered 639,. the foils ge al
though broad, Is most exquisitely felt out, and de
mands a warm recognition, for the tranquillity and
1 depth of effect with which It has besn treated, at oar
hands. This canvas is one of the most poetic il
landscapes this year exhibited, and may stamp its
artist as almost equally a leading man In land and
marine-scape. .
“The Wreck,” by Boguet, should boa.branch
picture.' It hangs above the sight-line, and bears
the number 83T. Both In Its boats and the wreck
His marked by a solidly excellent school, of draw
ing, while the olouds are splendidly designed anjl
most ably painted. Nothing could, also, be more
'finely drawn than the water, which la, however,
somewhat too solid In Its manner, and does not oon
i vey the Idea of limpidity through Us thick- and
: churned surlaee.
With a warm word of eulogy for No; 56T, “ High
Tlde,”by an European favorite of ours, Andrew
Achenbaoh, we will leave the marine pictures. It Is
but a small canvas; yet It is one which we should
like to possess, ou the score of its masterly execu
tion.
We now come to the landscape section of the ex
hibition. This wo shall, however, deal morerbrlefly
with than we havedone with the figure paintings
for the reason that it evinces less originality, and
character, and oan legitimately demand-much less
from us, beside being numerically Inferior In good
as well as bad works to that class which' we hare
already dealt with!
Three Morans are exhibitors. Two of thorn alone
are, however, exclusively landscape painters; and
these two are both in the-Academy, In style they
possess a generic resemblance one to the other, al
though there are differences In manner, with whton
It is essy for tbe critical observer to become ac
quainted.- No. 550,- “Penlyu Castle,” (should - it
not ratker be Penra-hyn 1)' “In North Wales,” is by
Mr. E. Moran, and has some points which are well
worth examination.- Although somewhat too rawly
crude In Its greeßS and In some of the vei y blue
grays of Its distance, It Is very gracefully penollled.
and Is certainly one of the finest landscapes in the
gallery. This gentleman also hangs upon the wall
“Sunrise on th« South‘Coast of EnglShd,” No. 616.
which carries the agreeable color of the first picture
we have named a little .beyond the mark, and'al
most verges upon tawdrlnoss. Mr. T. Moran glveß
ns, In No. 6SB,‘ “Autumn' upon tho Wlssa
htekon.”' The picture Is very pleasant in Its
technical execution, but- is' too rawly gay - In
color, and wants the application of some
tolerably unscrupulous glazing to produce a
greater sobriety in Its general toner “Summer
Time,” by Mr. F. Moran—not an academician—
partakes of tbe same character; but Is also too
bud and caretal, and, like thelast landscape, needs
greater breadth and quietude of tone,- Wb are
wrong, however. Having no quietude of tone, we
ought to have said it needs some, instead of giving
It the benefit of a comparative suggestion;
Paul Weber exhibits a picture, No. 642,'0a11ed
“Loch Leven, near Ben Lomond.” The color of
this landscape is grave, yet by- no means sombre,
and. tbe shifting play of the light,on the water Is
even more than clever. Itls the very best bltof wave
less, yet trembling and moving, water wbich we have
ever seen. This Is emphatically a plotnro which,
were we wealthy enough to boooine a collector, we
Should most certainly have wished to possess,
An exaggeratedly bad picture of a “ Ferry on a
Norway Fiord” is numbered 581.
No. 502, “White Head, Portland HaTbor, Malno,” is
by Mr. Haseltlne. In many respeots this Is a tho
roughly excellent picture,,although the rooks are
somewhat too unmltlgatedly square and hard In out-
line. The water lei deliciously pencilled, althongh
somewhat too brilliant In tone. It is a clever attempt
to transcribe nature poetically, with a very liree
hand. -
Be Haas also exhibits an exquisite little piece
of water, with boats and shipping, No. 683-
We also ought to mention the admirably finished
Fruit Piece, by tho olever dwarf, Proyor ofDres
den.
While it would be comparatively unjust to a lady
of so much Industry to,omlt obrontcllng, atloast, one
of the. Chicken Pieces of Mary ismlth—whether
Mrs. or Miss, we cannot say—we will consequent
ly oail attention to No. 532, “Attacked In this
Bear*,” which is both suggestive and dramatic. A
war-like young chioken Is seizing abrownand some
what ornate-looking Indlvldual of the beetle tribe by
Its tail. This Is. a lively little plotUre. and is
already In the possession of an lndivldual of taste
who has become Sts possessor.
We omitted, by.Bome Inexplicable chance, visiting
the North and Northwest Galleries last evening.
Consequently,’there are several palntlngß.whlch

Tsra Assassination X.qng. Ago P j. ann a d .
A. D. Elohardson states In his forthcoming.work;
Gn the day of Mr, Idnppla’s first Inauguration,|l
travelled In a crowded railway ear In-Mississippi
and Louisiana. While,tbe train was stopping, and
conversation could he beard through the carriage,
some one alluded to the event. Another reasaeoger
replied: “ I hope to. God he wlll.be killedlfiefore he.
'takes the oath.” A third said: “ I have wagered ;a
‘new hat that neither he nor Hamlin wlttever live
to be Inaugurated,”- Nearlv all present belonged
to the educated, wealthy, slaveholding olass—the
class which origioated and oonductad the war.
Several expressed approval of these remarks, not
one uttered a word of dissent. ,
I was In- the Uotton States for weeks after this,
ond the subjeet,was frequently alluded to la tay/
presence. 1 heard but. one man condemn the pro
posed assassination, and he was a Unionist. Again
and again leadlogjoumals, whleh were called repu-i
table, asked, “Is there no Brukua to rid the wand/
of this tyrant f£s Rewards were openly proposed for
tho President’?head. If Mr. Lincoln had bees
murdered In Baltimore, everxthorougtf- Saoesslci
journal in tbe South would have expressed Its al)r
proval, directly or lndireotly.. Of course, I, do uJt;
believe tbat the masses, or all' Secessionists, would
have desired such a stain upon the Amerioan namb;
,hut even then, as afterwards, when they murdsnd
our captured soldiers, and starved, froze, and- shirt
our prisoners, the men who led and controlled the
rebels appeared deaf to humanity and to deoenoy.
Charity would fata hold them Insane; but there
was too much method in their madness.

' houee ol ex- President Fillmore with Ink, bsoauselt
displayed no signs of mounutag for the death of Mr.
Lincoln. The Bufialo Courier (Republican), thus
explains Mr. Fillmore's reasons for not decorating
ills toouse In mourning:
“We have ample reason to know that this omis
sion was not for want of sincere respeot for the de
ceased, or of a heartfelt sorrow at fits death. But
private dwellings were not generally draped, and no
nc tico was given that they would be, and Mrs. F,
being out of health, Mr. Fillmore—as we are in
formed—did not leave bis house after going to the
pest offioe In the morning, and therefore was not
aware that any private dwellings were draped, and
naturally thought that an ostentatious show of grief
might be misunderstood,”
It bas been stated tbat Millard Fillmore’s house
In Buffalo bad been discolored with ink.- This Is not
a fact; but It is a faot disgraceful ter tbe man that
displays no mourning, on bis bouse. Nor has he.
since the beginning of the war, exhibited the Ameri
can colors, or sbown'the slightest sympathy with;
our soldfdrs or.our cause. That Millard Fillmore
Is a disloyal man there remains not a doubt, and the
American people should make him feel the force of
their overpowering rebuke. —Chicago Tribune,

Female Employ must in Francs.— From an
artlole which has just appeared In the Revue Con-<
temporaine we learn the following details of trades
“In laoe-maklng the women who live la towns are
far superior to tnoße who live lathe country. They,
are not sowell paid, because, though theprloe is
the same, living in a town Is much dearer, and their
health soon declines. Hence this sort of work - has
emigrated to the country; and,'not to mention Bel
glum, where laoe Is a staple, and the females em
ployed In making It amount to about 130,000, there
ate in the neighborhood of Arras alone 6,000. laoe
mskers, who earn about a franc a day without
neglecting their household duties. Glove-maklng .
also Is gradually leaving the towns to settle defini
tively in the country. Thus In the Haute- Marne
a single firm gives employment to upwards of
2,000 hands; in the Isere there are 15,000 needle
women engaged In the trade, and around Grenoble 1
there are about 1,280 cutterß, who turn out 600.000
pairs of gloves a year, which, at the rate of 30f. a
dozen, represent a sum of from 1,800,000 f. to 1,700,-
ooof. The Grenoble manufactory employs about
800 women In putting the glove on the pattern, then
under the cutting press, and otherwise preparing It
for-the needle. Suoh women, when clever, earn
from 70f. to 80f. a month. The remuneration for
tewing gloves Is at the rate of about 4f, 60c. a dozen,
with one button, and 4f, 76c, with two, but the sewer
must find her own thread. The outtlng of precious
stones, whether genuine or Imitation, is a trade
that has taken np its abode on the heights or the
Jura, at Septmened, except , the diamond, which is
cut by machinery at Amsterdam. At the place we
have mentioned the women ate constantly em
ployed in making Imitation jewels, in drilling holes,
into rubles for watchmakers, Ac., and they earn
about 76 centimes a day; the earnings of the men

sion seems to be that the extensive grounds known

present city limits. -It ispitapoetfi,however, to pur
chase toe ground above spoken ef,- comprising six
acres, to foil viewfrom theOepKol, anoalso from the
(Jhloago and St. Louis Railroad, and'Wect a tempo
rary tomb; the ground to be finally converted Into
a public park—though this programme, l T believe, is
not yet absolutely decided on. The ground, which
is finely Improved, will cost about »50 000.

■Tlu approaching end of the war in Ameri.a hafrglTsn
rite to gloomy instead of ia ottr
main cause of the at*gnat!on in business, a* shows by
the recent balance sheets of the Bank o*France. This
event wou d reopen the greatest and most profitable
market in the world, for (rar productions. It wo old re-,
store activity to our workshops, cover the ocean with
our shipping bring back jo? to the families of lanam?-
r&bie workingmen suffering for want of work* and re
store the confidence of onr shipping merchants. How.
is it, then, that such an event, wlndh we have looked
for during lour years, through;a period of crisis and
soft ring* and which will be nailed ae a day to
*ll humanity as a return to nroßperlty and good fortune,
should occasion such inexplicable anxiety. *• * *< * ,
We are firmly convinced that upon the cessation of
hostilities in America, activity will he restored to oar
factories, and that the pi ice of ootton will go up at ones,
however great an amount' may be expected from.

The six hundred and fourteen mill! ns of francs lying
idle in the Bank of Prance will be reduced to say three
hundred millions, and. an immense paoic.will be the
result of the withdrawal of the difference Stilt this
would only prove that that Inactive amount .of capital
had found employment; that business, after having
been long languid, had finally revived, and* that com
mercl&i setivity had again expanded. _ The announce
ment of peace in America wifi h*v«s the effeci ooly to
create a sudden animation and displacement of idle
capital. Peace in the United Spates cannot out oensdf.
instead of injuring us. We nave nothing to appre
hend from the cessation'of hostilities on the-other aide
of the Atlantic; on the sontr&ry, it will prove the
harbinger of prosperity.. It will unfetter and, stimulate
every species of industry. It will be. like an early
spring succeeding a rigorous winter.
