an intention too . in the " Death of St . Oswald , " and who has evidently done his best to execute his uninteresting subject well . He has no sense of beauty , and not much appreciation of the harmonies of colour ; but he has evidently worked hard , and his picture on that account deserves tp be looked at with respect . It is pleasant to . be able to report more favourably of the landscapes . Mr . Creswick and Mr . Xee / , among the Academicians , are still faithful to the British Institution , and * still exhibit with their usual success . By younger , or less known men there are two or three really admirable specimens of landscape ^ painting . Mr . J . S . Raven ' s " Road to the Homestead" is a singularly genuine and striking bit of nature—wanting nothing , except a little more force in the foreground . Mr . Maddox Brown ' s "Autumn Afternoon , " though most unfairly hung in as bad a place as possible , still asserts its merits as an intelligently and carefully studied work , which ought to have had one of the very best places in the room . Mr . E . W . Cooke has a fine sunset view in Venice , more daring in treatment , and more bold and vigorous in effect than most of his latter works . Mr . Lear has a very admirable large picture of " Windsor Castle from St . Leonard ' s Hill / ' which is almost as unfairly hung as Mr . Brown s landscape . Apparently , conscientious and genuine studies from nature are not to the taste of the picture-hangers at the British Institution . We have only space , before concluding , to mention , as well worth looking at , Mr . George Stanfield's " BirkCrag , " Mr . VVyld ' s " Pont du Gard , " Mr . Dearie ' s " Welsh River , " Mr . Ferguson ' s " Stackyard in Kent , " Mr . Holland ' s " View on the Grand Canal , " Mr . Burgess ' s Abergavenny , " Mr . T . Daubz ' s " Trophies of Youth , " and Mr . J . Middleton ' s " Sunshine and Shade . " All these pictures rank among the honourable exceptions which make the otherwise indifferent exhibition at the British Institution worth a visit .

Mrs. Fanny Kemble's Readings.—Exeter Hal...
MRS . FANNY KEMBLE'S READINGS . —EXETER HALL . We are indebted to the taste and intelligence of Mr . Mitchell for an evening of refined , intellectual recreation , in this bitter and gloomy season . Mrs . Fanny Kemble ' s readings are too well known to need any recommendation of ours . Every time we hear her we are more and more convinced that to enjoy Shakspeare unalloyed you must avoid the performance of his plays at legitimate theatres , where the divine Williams is stifled by supernumeraries , whose duty seems to be to give due brilliancy , by contrast , to some solitary " star . " Mrs .. Fanny Kenible , herself a poet , and a dramatic artist of the highest order , sheds the light of her own exquisite sympathy upon the page she interprets and the personations she embodies "with various felicity . The result to an intelligent
and attentive audience is a more complete perception of the general design oi the play and of its subtle beauties , than any stage performance with its vulgarities and mutilations can possibly convey , Last Monday the selection was Midsummer Nights Dream , with Mendelssohn ' s overture and incidental music , executed by an effective orchestra and chorus under the admirable direction of Mr . Benedict . A happier conjunction cannot be conceived . We trust Mr . Mitchell will continue the series . . ..

On the same evening the Amateur Musical Societ y gave their first concert for the season , under the vigorous conductorship of Mr . Henry Leslie . We were not present : but we have heard the performance of Mozart ' s Concerto for : pianoforte , in D minor , by Miss Poland ( a pupil of Herr Pauer ) , very warmly commended . It was , we are told , a surprise , an admiration , a delight .
Two Dramatic Productions Claim Our Notic...
Two dramatic productions claim our notice this week . The limits of our space will only permit us to record as briefly as possible the . names of the pieces , and their merited success . At the Adelphi , Mr . Dion Bourcicault has produced a strong and stirring drama , in two acts , preceded by a prologue , also in two acts , the whole occupying ( on the first night ) something like four hours in the performance , and bearing the simple but comprehensive title of the heroine , Janet Pride . The drama is called original , but that eminent theatrical thieftaker ( if he will forgive us the compliment ) , the critic of the Times , pounces upon certain incidents and situations , and restores them to their rightful owners on the other side of the Channel . Quite enough remains , however , to give Mr . Bourcicault a fair right of authorship . The scene is laid first in Paris , next in Australia , and afterwards in London . Mr . Webster , as a ruined drunkard , Madame Celeste , as " Janet Pride , " Keeley , as a clockmaker ' s apprentice , may be imagined rather than ( in our limited space ) described . The mounting of the piece and the general acting are careful and complete . The success was unequivocal , and the Adelphi has a run till Easter . At the other extremity of London , in the classical regions of Portman Market , Mr . W . Wallack has brought out , at the Mabylebone , a new version of the old story of The Man in the Iron Mask , by Mr . Bayle Bernard . The success is deserved by the interest of the drama , and by the decorations , Avhich are really worthy of a more central locality than Church-street .

Money Market And City Intelligence. Frid...
MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Friday Evening , February 9 , 1855 . Consols have maintained a firm prico considering tho dis- turbed state of the political atmosphere . Ten days of a Ministerial crisis , our army—tho only one we have—brought to annihilation by mismanagement , every membor of tho governing classes squabbling with his fellow , lamentable apathy too apparent in this ouce great nation , stagnation of trade , a patched-up Government still without a definite and united policy , could one have prophesied such a pass as this last year the public securities would probably have been quoted in anticipation at SO . But will it last P Must not men got distrustful ? Can a great war bo carried on without a loan P Can a peaco bo concluded , as some people in this heart of the " Fog Babylon" hint at , at any cost , or on any terms P Daro we , without an army , or even 2000 men of tho line , risk a quarrel with France at this particular junoturo , by breaking off our alliance in order to purchase a dishonourable peace P No ; tho devil to whom wo have sold ourselves during forty years of peace , sloth , and luxury , will exact the payment of his bond . We also , who stay at homo , must , like our brothers in the Crimea , undergo our share of the " firo baptism , " and give up some portion of our overgrown and monstrous-acquired necessities . Our payment must come as cheerfully and freely , with reduced expenditure at homo , as our gallant army has fought and died for us in tho East ; without this determination wo must consent to bo blotted out of tho roll of nations . Tho talk in tho City is still of a loan of ten to fifteen millions , if tho war goes on . Wo shall see tho funds , evon wero Sebastopol captured to-morrow , at 85 before next July , notwithstanding Lord Palmorston and his strong Ministry . Railway shares have been rathor flatter during tho weak , a now foreign lino ' called Ardennes is projected , and tho application for shares is considerable . It stands at present at a promiUm of 1 / . to 21 . por share Crystal Palaces havo gone firmer on tho roport and mooting . Groat Luxombourgs flat , tho managers and public still at issue . In mines there lias been but littlo trade—a few bargains in South Australian Copper , and some of tho British mines . Tho large dividends declared by tho various Joint Stock Banks in tho City , havo given rise to the projootion of two largo establishments , one to bo called tho " City Bank , " with a capital of 800 , 0001 ., and another tho " London , " with a still larger capital . Turkish bonds aro hardly so buoyant . But littlo doing in other foreign Blocks . Four o ' clock . —Consols olosod at 01 J , OiJ ! Turkish Sorip , at 70 , 70 11 Russian Fives , 100 , 102 . - .

¦ CORN MARKET . Mark Lane , Friday Evening , Feb . 9 , 1855 . The arrivals of Wheat have been exceedingly small , but in consequence of there being only a limited demand , no improvement in prices has been established .
