      Wo Gather From An Amusing Hill Before Us...

      and the touch-and- £ o commentary supplied by the facetious narrator was no less agreeable to those former residents in China who assisted at the representation than interesting and instructive to the untravelled majority of the audience . Mr , Smith has , as we are all aware , a happy knack , of extracting grains of gold , if ive may use the expression , frott bushels of sand , and of presenting them , to his hearers so attractively , that they seem for the moment as precious as nuggets . His description of . the terrible heat of Hong Kong ; his quaint remarks on the Chinese custom of ennobling a man ' s ancestry for his great deeds instead of his descendants , and on the number of antecedent Smiths to

      be affected by his own peer-ification ; hia eoifnparison of Chinese and English wedding breakfasts ; graphic account of the lunch on birds ' -nests , frogs , snails , quails , & c , at the Chinese compradores '; and his happy meeting with our old acquaintance , Edwqrdslhe engineer , were all received with lively approbation . The comic song , "Why don't you go to Shanghai ? " apropos of the universal inquiry to that effect at Hong Kongj was deservedly applauded ; and the enthusiasm with which great and small welcomed the elaborate and gigantesque set scene of a Villow-pattern plate , furnished one more illustration- —asr if it were needed—of how very common , as well as pleasant , a thing it is " desipere in loco . "

      EXHtBTTIOX OS THIS ARCHITECT URAL PHOTOGRAPHIC ASSOCIATION . Those who take an interest in photography applied to architecture will do well to pay a visit to this exhibition , which is just opened . The Association last year held their exhibition in Suffolk-street—their collection being confined to a few portfolios and four screens . This year they fill tlje spacious gallery rented by the Society of Painters in Water Colours , showing a great improvement in their prosperity and increased success in collecting architectural photographa . The number of subscribers is about eleven hundred , mostly at a guinea each , with power to choose photographs of a greater value than the amount subscribed on payments at the . same rate as the subscription ; so that , it enables architects , antiquarians , and others interested in the fine arts , to obtain photographs at a much cheaper rate and of a superior quality than they could elsewhere . Many of the subjects exhibited here are quite new , and , the catalogue tells us , taken expressly for the Association . Macphersbp , of Rome , exhibits one hundred and twenty views of the most interesting parts of the Eternal City and its neighbourhood , amongst which we particularly admire fine views of "The Sybil ' s Temple , " " Tivoli , " and "The Coliseum . " An " Interior of the Vatican " is a very clever production , and some views of the nn-. merous triumphal arches that yet remain in Rome merit attention . Cimetta , a Venetian photographer , contributes Some very large prints of all that is interesting in

      Venice . The "View of the Doge's Palace from the Canal " has a very good effect . Cade , of Ipswich , exhibits some small views of the Cambridge colleges and some views in Suffolk , all most successfully executed . Robertson and Beats , of Constantinople , whose Crimean views will be remembered , have this year illustrated Cairo and the Pyramids ; their street views in Cairo are very fair specimens and give a very good idea of the domestic architecture in that city . Lonsada has some miscellaneous views from Spain , including the Alhambra and Escurial at Madrid . Cocke , of Salisbury , has some very good views of Salisbury and EI 3 ' Cathedrals , also a bird ' s-eye view of Westminster Abbey taken from the Victoria Tower . Some of the negatives of these , we are

      told , are in the possession of the Association .. We hear , also , that the same artist is supplying the photographic illustrations to a catalogue which has yet to appear . Baldus , the well-known Purisian photographer , supplies a few views of the Louvre and the Church at Caen . Frith , whose Egyptian views are known to many , sends a very nice collection . His panoramic " View of Cairo , " eight feet long , is a very interesting production . On two screens at one end of the room we find the productions of Bedford , whose sun glimpses of Tintern , Raglan , and Chepstow are the gems of the exhibition . These subjects were taken expressly for the Association ,

      and deserve a great amount of praise for their delicacy an 4 finish as photographs and as pictures . " The West Front of Tintern" is very beautiful ; the other views by "Bedford are from various parts of England , including Canterbury and Whitby Abbey . Some views of the churches in the neighbourhood of Padua and Milan are exhibited , by Pontl on two screens , " The Grand Canal of Venice " is a most effective bit ; the reflections in the still water of the canal are wonderfully distinct , dutch , Sissen , and Smith also send some miscellaneous subjects , so that , altogether , this exhibition may bo regarded as a rich and varied one .
