The Exposition Of The Fine Arts In Paris...
w * * ' ^ " 1 professions , not to speak at present of the " labouring community" —the monarchical , imperial , in one word , the Government system , profits only to those who have already so far advanced as to have no just claim to assistance . " To him that hath shall be given . " In 1848 , the artists , after the political victory had been gained , did not show themselves nearly so ardent or so interested in the institutions by which they were governed as they had been previously . The quarrel of the Schools was much less violent . A certain amount of enfranchisement , moreover , had been at once obtained ; and one of the men most capable of guiding them at that timeby the enthusiasm which he had preserved and by the increased knowledge he had gained—was in a position to be of use to them in an official capacity : M . Jeanron was named Director-General of the Museums and member of all Commissions on Art , on adjudication of prizes and distribution of public works and recompenses . He at once imparted to the acts of the Republican Government , during its short duration , a spirit so completely liberal and equitable , that the artists had no further reason for agitation . His first step was to announce a perfectly free exposition , in which all works , of whatever kind presented , were admitted . This was certainly at that time—so unfavourable to criticism—the wisest course that could have been adopted . But , meanwhile , in the Permanent Commission of the Fine Arts the discussion of an entirely new body of regulations was being carried on . M . Jeanron s principles—although not unopposedwere triumphant . They were applied with most complete success to the Exposition which took place at the Tuileries , at the Palais Royal , and at the Menus Plaisirs . I cannot here discuss the new system , because to do so would lead to . an elaborate examination of the organisation of the French School , of the mode of encouragement adopted , and of the nature of the impulse supplied by Government . But I shall return to this subject . At present it will be sufficient to say that the regulations established by the Republic have been utterly set aside ; and the coming Exhibition will be governed by a perfectly arbitrary commission , in which the Institute reappears en masse , and is dominant . One only of its members has been omitted , not on account of his artistic opinions—they conform to those of his colleagues—but on account of his political opinions , M . David d'Angers . Lawyers and bankers are also in great force in its ranksartists yield easily to the influence of eloquence and money . Babble and Finance will govern with little resistance . I shall be much surprised , therefore , if the decisions of the new jury do not excite unanimous discontent—which , however , under the circumstances , will be voiceless . Artists will whisper their grievances one to the other . Official organs will boast that the palmy days of the Empire have returned ; and much delight will appear in print . But all ateliers will be filled with murmurs ; and the pencil will find that in order that Authority may be fully established , it must be meddled with as ' well as the pen . Freedom of the brush is equally obnoxious to the new regime with freedom of speech ; and liberties must not now be taken either on canvas or in " columns . " The regulation established by the Republic , aud recently set aside in silence , without even an apology , contained two very important provisions . In the first place , a certain number of the members of the jury were elected by universal suffrage among the artists ; every one who submitted a picture for approval submitted a bulletin containing his " "list ; " and , secondly , all works purchased or recompensed by the Government were required to be exhibited apart , in order that if any favouritism were displayed , the public might be able to judge and censure . These guarantees were considered very valuable by artists , and applauded by all honest and intelligent amateurs . They were introduced in 1848 into the report of the sub-committee of the Permanent Commission , composed
of Messrs . Eugene Delacroix , Jeanron , Nieuwerkerke , and Charles Blanc , and became law at that time . I see nothing in the demeanour of the new , or rather of the revived jury , and their patrons , calculated to diminish regret at the departure of the Republican system . 0 . __

Signor Monti's Second Lecture. . In His ...
SIGNOR MONTI'S SECOND LECTURE . . In his second lecture , delivered on Wednesday last , Signor Monti , having resumed the notice of Symbolic Art as embodied by the Egyptians , the Assyrians , and the Persians ( which formed the subject of his first discourse ) , proceeded to introduce the sculpture of India as . illustrative of the Symbolism of Imagination . He showed that the sculptures of India had also chiefly to represent divinities , and those endowed with the most wonderful attributes that the fancy of devotees could imagine ; that character of exalted imagination pervaded all their legends and poems , especially those not within the strict pale of religion , giving , them the character rather of romance than of history ; that all such subjects were treated by the Indian sculptor with an exaltation of form quite eciual to the exaltation of conception . Drawings were exhibited and explained illustrative of this part of the lecture . An actual relic , in a good state of preservation , probably from one of the farfamed caves near Madras or Bombay—was shown and commented upon . The subject of Japanese , Chinese , and Mexican sculpture was then glanced at , and demonstrated by a few diagrams . Then , leaving the Asiatic and American symbolism , the lecturer returned to the western people of Asia Minor , Phoenicia , early Greece , and Italy , by him comprised under the general denomination of Pelasgi , showing how their sculpture was still confined within symbolic form , and represented its conceptions in obedience to sacerdotal rules , whence the name of hieratic applied to this class of art . The exhibition of several examples from works of early sacred style both in Greece and in Italy concluded the lecture . Having thus disposed of Symbolic Art amongst the ancients , the lecturer has prepared his audience for the examination of Free Art as practised by the Greeks , which will form the subject of his next reading .
Levassor At The St. James's. Everybody K...
LEVASSOR AT THE ST . JAMES'S . Everybody knows Paris now-a-days ; and everybody who knows Paris knows the little theatre of the Palais Koyai , ; and everybody who knows the little theatre of the Palais Royal , knows L-evassok—not the Jeast comic star in that firmament of farceurs . LVevassor has something of what we identify with Wright , and something more of Charles Mathews in his composition . What is purely Palais Royal in his entertainment requires almost a special education to appreciate ; but the changeful rapidity of personation , the sparkling ease , the inexhaustible vivacity and volubility , the neat and often elegant dexterity in singing , with the genial dramatic cleverness in every assumption of character , belong to a highly-finished artist capable of touching more than one chord of sympathy and emotion . His entertainment at the St . James's ( which we heartily recommend to our readers ) is a sort of " at home , " in which he is assisted by the charming and piquanle Mademoiselle Teisseire , who warbles her couplets very sweetly and tastefully . The Pirouettes d ' un Vieux Danseur and Le Pere Bonhomme , by Levassor , and the Cur € de Village , by Mademoiselle Teisseire , are well worth a visit to the St . James ' s , to see and to hear .
