Oriental And Turkish Museum. Conshjehing...
ORIENTAL AND TURKISH MUSEUM . Conshjehing the Turko-mania--wliich prevails just now , it is not a bad idea to get up a sort of Oriental " Madame Tussaud ;" The Western Powers , adopting their usual mode of civilising , have sent : their ariuies into Turkey , to finish . what TurHsh Reformers have begun , and in a few years the Ottoman Empire will be Occidentalised . If travellers are not prompt , in their movements they will have to fall back . on the Turkish and Oriental Mtiseum , which preserves the life of the East- ^ in wax ! This exhibition will give the gentlemen who live at ; Home at ease a decided advantage over military men and newspaper corresppndentsi We , who merely go to IHyde Bar ^ , that . be able to put down some of ' the swagger of ^ those gentlemen on . their returns They may talk ; of Turkish "batKs ( according to the authority at St ; ( George ' s Gallery ¦ th & ¦ p lace is-. iapre of a " -wash-house" than what we caU . a " T ) # hV ) y pf KHao ^ s , Bazaars , iHamalSj , Arabas ,, Kabohs ; - & c ., & c .. But . will , any of them , have seen ai Janissiiy in his < habit . as lie lived ? - Will they have seen Sultan TVIahmoxia . in his ancient : imperial robes seated in fullCJDivan , with alii his pagesv ehamherlains , mutes , ^ c > , receiving' the homage- of Karali-Ge-Eennem , a Bowing anaGHronisni , in the blue ; frock and fez of the present day which throws out in strong ; relief thd flowing robes and tilrbans of the . surroundcn gi'gEotipy ? ¦ /; .

' If tHe ^ have ; seen Abdul Meiijid , will ^ h ey ^ have ^ seen Sultan Osmany the founder : of "the Ottoman Empire ? Will they have seen a bak ^ r with , his ear nailed '' . tp his dbpr-post ?^ ^ Above all r will ' they have penetrated into the interior [ p ^ f ; a haremr ^ iiito the v « ry bed and boudoir of : a Sultana ^ At : any i ? ate * if they have got therej which is possible , by all the rules of gailantry , tliey must not say so . N " ow all these things , and more ^ we may see any dayfbr half-a-crowTi ; all very life-like , the stillness and silence of the figures seeming mere Orientalism . W e feel really an odd sensation as we step into the charmed precincts of the inner chambers of the harem ,, and find ;
ourselves in the presence of several almondreyed beauties ( " Kadernz" it seems is their proper title ) , making their toilettes , taking coffee , and gazing at dancing-girls . There are their real beds , looking very much like elegant " shake-downs ; " and we are pleased to observe that some of the attendant maids are decidedly prettier than their mistresses . The . illusion is completed by your suddenly corning on a huge black gentleman of the neuter gender , whose eyes are made to roll about in a way at once to dissipate any notion you might begin to entertain of making yourself agreeable to the ladies . The whole affair at this Museum is far above anything in the shape of wax-work ever before exhibited . The execution of the figures is admirable ; the costumes are evidently accurate , the more so we think from their not being so overdone with barbaric gold and pearl as readers fresh from the Arabian Nights wxrald expect ; but as they are chiefly of the unreformed era ofTurkey ^ there is enough of the picturesque to satisfy any sight-hunters . Decidedly the Turkish and OaiEKTAii Museum is-worth seeing . J . 9-

Mr. George Grant's Cromo-Lithographig. O...
MR . GEORGE GRANT'S CROMO-LITHOGRAPHIG . OF COLUMBUS . Am * who care for the extensive distribution of works-of art must watcb . with interest the progress-of printing in colours . Great difficulties- attend , any process of the kind . The repeated failure in securing- a distinctness of tlie several-colours , without at the same time producing harshness in . the points where the different tints meet , is only one of the obstacles . To use the colours which blend without vitiating each other ; to select pigments which can ^ e imparted with some ilniformitj of transfer from the block to the paper ; $° produce the effect of force without opacity or harshness , are difficulties which have been more or less successfully combated , since Messrs . Baxter endeavoured to reduce oil j ) riiUnvg to practice ; aAd they have attairied considerable success ; The stone would , of course , suggest a- xne ^ diurn ibr transfei'nrig a certain classof colours- with considerable facility and certainty ; and the example before us must be regarded as a step in progress . It is not to be denied that there is still much patchmess in the effect . The figure , for example , sitting ; near Golumbus ' s- right hand , and clothed in a browa robe , looks much as if it were clotjied in rags , from the want of blending between the lighter and the darker tints , which mark the fall of the stuff ; and the sanae defect is observed in other parts . On the other hand , in soine parts , especially in the plain surfaces ^ as in the ; sides of the table and of a stool , there are soiiie > very successful examples of blending ; The general effect of the wliple , both in regard to purity , of colour and of force in cliiaroscuro , is very ci * editable to the . artist . 1 he committee of the Art-Unioh of Glasgow : have piirchasod the c 6 pyright r , for the purpose of distributing the specimen as prizes to its members .
