A Case Of Bribery At Bodmin Has Been Mad...
A case of bribery at Bodmin has been made a matter of investigation before the magistrates . Mr . Belling , a watchmaker and silversmith , was charged with having given Mr . Chapman , a farmer , the sum fcff £ 10 to induce him to vote for the Tory candidate . Mr . Chapman was examined at great length in proof Of the charge ; and the proceedings resulted in Belling being committed for trial . Mr . Chapman , it should be stated , took themoney from no corrupt motive . Mr . Whitehurst , of the Ballot Society , conducted the case for the prosecution . At Dartford , on Friday , a party of roughs were enlisted , it is said , in the interests of the Cbnservatiyesy and as the polling there was favourable to Messrs . Martin and Whatman * they employed themselves by going into the streets and assaulting every Oiie they could lay their hands upon . It was with considerable difficulty that the riot was suppressed , and . many persons were injured during the conflict . The list of members returned to the new Parliament , already published in our columns , shows a total of 315 Liberals and . 257 Conservatives . The following returus have since been made : —

11 . Tlw Right Hpn . J . Stunrt Worthy has been defeated at l ) ho West Riding , and has also , lost the chance of sitting * n the new Parliament , since the
seat for Buteshire , of which he would have been certain , has been filled up while he wa * busy canvassing the Yorksbireinen , who preferred Mr Crossley . At the Middlesex electidni out of 15 , 000 voters , only about 3 , 600 polled- for Hanbury and Byng ; Mr . Haig had 1 , 147 votes . At the declaration of the result , on Wednesday , the two successful candidates addressed the " usual amount of twaddle to the mob , who did not give them a very patient hearing . Mr . Haig , who was far more favourably received , said that all the most independent of the electors had voted for him , and denied that such an election could be called a contest .

represents the conjposition of such a sermonbT country curate . Mr . J . C . Hook attracts SJi , his Luff Boy » ( 369 ) . . This picture , anVKhig by the same , are all painted in an extravagant ke ? but have features of merit , as well as somecoarsf ' ness . . We admire very much the " Ophelia" f * Ro \ of Mr . A . Ercole , which is as refined a Version of it subject as we can conceive . . This Ophelia is a fa * full-grown woman : from a lovely bosom sprine-ITa shapely head of equal loveliness , and a sweet hnt melancholy countenance , stamped with absence of reason , without offensiveness or exa £ nw > ra « n « No . 388 is one of Mr . E . W . Cooke ' s grand mS pieces . 405 is a fine portrait of Augustus Eee the Associate , by Mr . J . Philip ; and in this corner hane * Mr O'Neil ' s " Home Again—1858 " ( 400 ) , tSS icture to his Eastward
pamon p " Ho ! " shown here last year . This picture is so prominent and sh popular , its merits have been so thoroughly recos nised and appreciated by every contemporary and every one of our readers must be so well acquainted with it by name and fame , that we need hardly say more than that it represents—and , considering the technical difficulty involved , represents most successfully—the descent of a military detachment from a transport ' s deck into the shore-boats that hare waited their arrival . It is a domestic picture of high merit , and a worthy pendant to its predecessor . A very remarkable performance is the " Barley Harvest" ( 390 ) , by Mr . H . C . Whaite , a work -which the noble-minded academicians , from considerations best known to themselves , have , abased in the most marked and undeserved manner . Those who will
rotal academt . — ( Second Notice . ' ) The success of Mr . Solomon ' s " Waiting for the Verdict " last year has very naturally induced hixn to paint a companion— " Not Guilty" ( 557 ) , in which he has not been so successful . The head of the acquitted man ' s wife is very intense and telling . The sturdy little Briton who stands with back to the spectator ^ is well set up ; but the principal figure does not look his part , while his father has rather the air and bearing of an acquitted innocent . The importunity of the dog , who is determined to take part in the rej oicings , is very nicely delineated ; and the picture altogether , if it exhibits no advance , is by no means retrogressive . The . same artist's
" Pox and Grapes" ( 293 ) is superbly painted as to the hands and faces of the characters , the silk brocade , and the usual accompaniments of high heels , silk-stockings , & c . An elderly lover ' s mortification as he sees his Dulcinea carried from under his nose , under the escort of a young and handsome rival , is fairly shown ; though there is something unmistakeably wrong about the lady ' s mouth , which has been spoilt in the attempt to get some recondite expression out of of into it . The Breton interior " Ici on rase " ( 243 ) , which we noticed on its appearance some time since at the Graphic Society ^ s rooms , does not exhibit in its present gay company the crudity that then distinguished it . It is a comic piece , true and hard ht After
enough , but of no peculiar thougor power . a longing , lingering gaze on Mr . Oakes' " Marchllyn Mawr " ( No . 525 ) , a true botanical study of " a solitary pool fringed with rushes wild , " we turn into the middle room . Here , passing by Mr . Solomon ' s " Fox and Grapes , " just noticed , and Mr . Millais ' " Vale of Rest , " we light on a miniature gem , by Mr . Gale , called " Guard your Queen ; " it represents a game of chess between an pld and a young gentleman , while the pretty wife of the former leans on his chair , and studies less her husband ' s moves than the eyes of his antagonist . Hard by is Mr . Faed ' s " Sunday in the Back-woods " ( No . 310 ) , one of the half-dozen ( for there are not more ) great works in
this exhibition . A Scottish emigrant family are at worship outside their log-hut—three generations of them . A stalwart woodsman—a noble specimen of man—reads the Bible , and all around is peace and holiness . The element of sadness is strongly introduced ( in addition to the loneliness expressed by the forest background ) by the presence of a sick girl " Poor Jeannie , sadly changed , whose only song is , Why left I my hame . '" It is , indeed , a picture to weep over at twilight ; but simple as is the effect , the mechanism is masterly too . The pyramidal group of figures on the right of the picture is no less complicated in its construction than successful in its effect ; and in point of colour and texture we
could see nothing in this work to desire . The next work of mark , which also is the head of its class , is " Felice Ballarin reciting Tasso to the people of Ohioggia /^ by F . Goodall , A ., a noble picture . Why Felioe recited Tasso to these particular people is unfortunately not explained , though the locale of Ohioggia on the Adriatic is known . He , at all events , seems very excited . He has the appearance of one who addresses his countrymen in the " Hereditary bondsmen 1 " style , and his countrymen are , with one or two exceptions , about as indifferent to his ravings as our own generally are to such addresses . They are , however , a noble set of people , splendidly drawn , solidly painted . It does one ' s
eyes good to see such a legitimate and successful work on the walls of our exhibition , and we must compliment the painter accordingly , Wo have no time to catalogue the manifold beauties of this masterpiece , but we object to its atyoy with one prominent souvenir of an older master , which had been better avoided . The " Evening Song" ( 368 ) , by Mr . A . Raukley , is a ridiculous affair . A quotation from one of £ > r . Watts ' s hymns , " And now another day is gone , " is sacrilegiously illustrated by four little girls running about on < a common with twice as many geese at their heels . We should like to know by what ' avow or affection this performance was admitted here , though we can almost excuse it , for the sake of hia very touching " Farewell glermon " ( No . 271 ) , which
kneel to its examination will be repaid . A fair , river runs its chequered course between a richly-wooded steep on one side ; a field of cut barley glitters on the other , say in the foreground ; and a mountain summit towers in the background . These are all faithfully and elaborately done ; but the marvel of the work is the passing cloud through which—we say through advisedly— --the . further bank is seen . We have no painter at hand to enter into a sound technical description of this exquisite production ; but we have no hesitation , on the evidence of our own
inexpert eye , in pronouncing it one of the gems of the gallery , and in drawing from if an augury of the painter ' s great future success . The pleasure Mr . Whaite has given , and the admiration he has won , may possibly injure him fora time in the eyes of the "Hangsmen , " but we trust , in time , to welcome him in a better position . Such truth should and must prevail . r—

DEATII OF C . R . LESLIE , R . A . We regret to observe , that ere . the ink of admiring criticisins upon the " Hotspur and Lady Percy , " the " Jeannie Deans" picture , by the above honoured hand is well dry , he has left the large circle of which he was no unimportant part . An American by birth , Mr . Leslie studied his art at the feet of his countryman , the venerable West . He became an Associate of the Academy in 1821 , andoneoftheforty in 1826 . In 1833 he tried America , having received a fine art appointment under that Government ; but he soon returned to England . He was for some years , we may almost say , the centre of a talented and influential partv in the fine art world , comprising many eminent " teachers , both by pen . and pencil . With the former of these , he himself wrought a labour of love , in the life of Constable , which > waa warmly received by the thousands who admire the " works and honour the memory of that true art worthy . Mr ; Leslie was at one time Professor of Painting at the Academy ; it was , we Relieve , from 1848 to 1851 . He quitted that office , wohavehoard , too , o" ? grounds ^ conscientious that they deserve record . He had exhausted his facts , they toll us , and unfolded his doctrines to bis own satisfaction . so , rather than serve up rechauffe , or rcsort-Uiuncy for novelty , he resigned the ' chair .

Sheepshanks , is a very pwnunens and attractive feature of the South Kcnsmgton Gallery .
