    tion , and giTe us at least some of the drama of which the most middling life of England is not bereft . But Juliet or Jessica in an incessant state of picturesque holiday costume and bland self-possession , is the prevalent subject in th « present exhibition . Next to the same unexicited Juliet come " -views" places which have been viewed ever since tbe English school established itself . Occasionally , indeed , there is an effort to rise superior to these dead levels . Some artists seek for peculiar effects- by smooth water with evening sun ; but Branwhite has fallen so much into a peculiar pattern of painting thathe cannot give you a summer evening without vater that looks like ice and a winter sun . Redgrave began for himself a new manner of painting wood scenery withf % idivKluality in the vegetation ; and now we see that he has copyists , as in the case of Mr . A . Gilbert . The manner has "been admired ana the manner is copied ; the real subject vbich the artist ought to bring before the spectator , the living vegetation , being slurred in th « execution . If it is human life out of whose quiet level the artist struggles , ten to one we have some subject rendered tedious by repetition . If it is difficult to see an exhibition without Cologne Cathedral , you are almost sure to find Othello smothering Desdemona . In this instance Mr . Egley furnishes the annual supply of the Moor ; the principal variety which le casts upon the subject being an intensity of what linen-drapers call " self colour" in all the objects . Desdemona ' s lips are as pink as a ribband new from Coventry . This universal flatness , or this struggle only into the set vicissitude and passion of the Exhibition , while they tend to render the works of each artist in the level more tedious than they deserve to be considered , give also to those who break away the appearance of greater power than they can really boast . Thus Glass flashes upon you with the force of genius , and Sant , in spite of his laboured execution , derives all the force wlich is to be got from dealing with real passion . Gilbert , wlo possesses a strong-handed intellect , deals with a rough subject prosaically enough ; Imt by sticking to human nature as he finds it , and trying to copy its changeful countenance , he also drags life into the composition . SancJio boasting to his wife of his future dignity , and encountered by , her vulgar , virago incredulity , is at once easy in composition and forcible in effect . But it is when artists

    really break away frojn indoor scenery or landscape unenlightened by human incident that the picture really becomes interesting . Glass ' s picture is in three compartments , called severaUy " tL « -R ««^« r vous , " " tne Return , " and « the Rescue .- In the first , a pity of ba 3 aSi are setting out to make an assault upon their neighbours—an irregular set of men-at-arms , variously mounted , riding into the morning mast . In the second part , the same band axe returning with spoil and ca ptives ; one of them is leading by a string a pony , on which sits a girl whom he ' surveys with a somewhat sentimental air for so rough a capture . In the third night conceals the main body of marauders , the captives and pursuers and one only sees two horsemen galloping towards the spectator abreast ' dashing headlong downhill , one snooting the other . There is much spirit in the whole triple composition ; though , the last is too phantom-like and improbable to fit with the others . The first is thoroughly real , and elevates the artist almost to be ranked as an English Salvator Rosa . Mr . Sant's principal [ subject is " the Woman taken in Adultery ; " and it comprises a single figure , painted the size , of life , in half length . It seems to have been painted from a beautiful original , and in some respects the treatment is worthy of the original ; but we much doubt the dramatic propriety , both in that treatment and in the selection of the original . Most artists appear to hit the common perception of the brief text , and to regard tie woman as an ordinary trespasser , taken flagrante delicto without any ctrconstances attenuantes . She is usually represented as a coarse or high-blooded matron , not quite in the flower of youth , and overwhelmed "with shame or self-compassion . In the picture before us the woman , with fair Jurir , slender proportions , aristocratac features , and a carriage that almost exclusively belongs to " high society , ' * is not a Jewess in the middle class , but is an English lady . The dejection not unmingled with pride in her countenance , —the working of thought in her eyes , and the swelling erectness of her figure , speak a rebellious spirit , not ignorant of modern ideas , not thoroughly without resisting the judgment of condemnation . The figure seems less appropriate to impersonate the ordinary Jewess sinner than to typify the wrongs of woman , " with some lurking sense of " -woman ' s rights . " However , it is a beautiful subject , 'and Mr . Sant does not belong to the dead level which the walls uniformly present .

    MONEY MAKKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Friday Evening , March 3 , 1854 . Veht slight alteration in the funds has taken place since last week . In tho face of a war , the magnitude and duration of whioh . no one can form an estimate , the funds maintaau their present firm appearance , and , should nothing very fttrniidable "be . announced by the Chancellor of the . Exchequer wo may see a rise of two per cent , in them before the next account . In the foreign markets there is groat depression . Russian and Dutok particularly are greatly depreciated . Russian Fives having fallen five per cant . The bwyera have been on Dutch account , and consequently tho Dutch holders have possibly had to bring their own stock into the market to effect purchases . Railway shares maintain a good price , and will possibly improve as long aa they pay dividends . Mines are but sparely dea . lt in . Uouvoau Mondo are bolow par ; Anglo-Caltfornians again aro better . In Land Companies -but little change . This afternoon there has been a considerable fall in Consols and all shares . The second edition of tho Times , and tlio rumour of an embargo being laid upon English vessels in JCussian ports , has had its effect . Consols close at Oil 4 . i , ««? i i ° i ?

    CORN MARKET . Mark Lane , Friday Evening , March 8 . Local Tkadb . —The supplies of Wheat , Flour , and Oats during -the week have been moderate , and of Barley liberal . At this clay ' s market there is a small attendance or buyers , and the business doing is extremely limited in extent , at prices barely equal to Monday . FiOAJTiNG Tkadb . — "We have no great arrival this-week , nor have we , since Triday last , any great business to xepiort . The cargoes since come to hand , are 44 . The sales have been , among © there , as follows : —A cargo Azoff Ghirka , 7 le ., net ; one hard . Taganrog , 67 s . ; one new Polish , very fine , 7 fia . 6 d .: one Saidi , 53 s . 3 d . ; one Marianople , fine quaUity , 77 s . ; one Taganrog Ghirka , 723 . Sd , We have had a good many Irish buyers here this week , but they have acted with caution , and the business done has consequently been limited . Had holders been willing to sell at less money , a large business would have teen done . There is , however , mo pressure to sell ; the cargoes now on the way here being few in numbeT , and it being pretty generally believed that the Black Sea ports , with the exception of Galatz and tha Roumelian ports , will not long be open for the shipment of Grain , and that , oooseouently , our supplies from that quartei will soon be completely out off .
