works * of this remarkable painter we feel the influence of his intimate association with the animated spectacles of nature . The storms he represents he has struggled with in person—the defiles he has trodden with a bold step the forests he has explored—the brigands he has met and lived withthe vast horizons he has scanned with curious eye- —the caverns he has sought refuge in from human or elemental-anger . If this description be just ? it is evident that Salvator Rpsa created his own theories , and entirely separated himself from the traditional school . No one , indeed , will deny this fact , which may explain at once the disappointments of the early part of a career which became at last so splendid , though it was always disturbed by misfortune , whilst it accounts for much of the admiration of posterity . Whatever be the estimate we come to , therefore , on the actual amount of his genius , Salvator Rosa is an artist who must always be appreciated apart . His name calls up ideas quite of a particular character , much removed from the common order of considerations which usually occupy us when we study the other artists of his period . In fact , as we have hinted , Salvator is in some sort not an artist of his own time , and must not be appreciated in the same manner . Doubtless we must rank him among the disciples of II
Spa"uuoletto ; and it is easy to distinguish in his manner , in his execution , in his style of drawing , in the boldness of his toufth , in the vigour of his effects , the transmission of the principles , the affections—and , we may add , the affbetations—of a school which , though already declining in a marked manner , was still illustrated by some of the ablest and most sympathetic masters of Italian art . But he possesses an originality which separates him profoundly from his contemporaries , and brings him into marked communion with our Modern Art . Were it not for the undeniable strength and marked character of his works , it would be scarcely judicious to raise him to the rank of some of his emulators and immediate masters . Salvator hasan enormous reputation ; and a part of it may he attributed , as it is the fashion + / -v o ^ mKnta ;«• + rv lilo £ >< vti » a 7 vi . rlin < if > v tomnfir . t . n the brilliant events in which i ¦ j —¦¦—¦ - — ¦— ¦— _ - _

But it is principally owing to the truly modern character of his talent . In his manner of interpreting external spectacles , in his landscapes , his marine pieces , his brigand scenes , and his battle scenes , he is so identified with the tastes and endeavours of those who followed him and have succeeded one another almost without interruption to the present day , that he touches more sensible chords , and becomes more often to his own advantage a tpye of comparison than he would have been in the absence of the particular character which we point out . By the side of Guercino Spagnuoletto , Domenichino , Carayaggio , Calabrese , and even of Lanfranco , Salvator Rosa would not hold his rank as a Master . But it isnot with these men that we should associate him . His aims and his impressions were not the same . He appears in all his greatness only if we compare hi nr with succeeding artists whom he so strongly influenced , and who learned how to interpret nature—its spectacles and its dramas—in the way which he opened . Thus Salvator , placed side by side with the moderns who succeeded or recal him , appears as a man of transcendent merit , because in that immense
field of violent , strange , fantastical , savage ; and unexpected scenes which he opened , and in which many artists of our days continue to follow him , he was enabled liberally , without costly efforts and without fatiguing and distracting application , to apply a science farsuperiorvto tha $ of his modem disciples—a science which he derived from his education and apprenticeshi p in the old Italian , school . He acquired all the practical ability of his contemporaries—was familiar with all their technical mysteries—and leaving the themes they loved to treat , or , rather , which public opinion compelled them , under pain of unpopularity , to treat , boldly determined to choose his own subjects . Of course the events of his chequered life , his romantic wanderings in part , but chiefly his fierce struggles with want , with public neglect , with private enmity , with calumny , with calamities brought about by his own rashness , not to speak of the noble association of his name with that of Masaniello , contributed to keep him in the path which he originally selected . But we may reasonably doubt whether his ability was of that order which would have enabled him to take place in the foremost rank in the great period of Italian Art . At any rate we think we class him truly as the initiator of the school which has been called Romantic , although this
term is often suggestive of extravagance , of whicli be was never guilty . On the Continent his influence has been great , in England still greater . Most of his known pictures are within these realms ; and his name is so familiar and so connected popularly with a particular class of representations , that it is almost impossible for a young writer to describe a wild scene without saying that " it was one which Salvator Rosa would have loved to paint . " Those who employ the expression little know the bitter offence they are giving to the spirit of the great artist . Nothing disgusted him more than the supposition , however delicately hinted , that he was especially a painter of landscapes of a particular kind . He claimed to be equally powerful in History ; and the critic is always ready to acknowledge that he judged himself more largely and correctly than the public . Some of his greatest
compositions , which silenced calumny and opposition in his lifetime , were grand aud historical . But he painted a group of conspirators , a charge of cavalry , or a sorceress holding communion with a king , on the same principles according to which he painted a tossing forest or an agitated sea . He always equally disregarded conventional types , traditionary beauty , and that repose which is spread " like oil upon the waters" over the works of the Great Masters who preceded him , but which he did not displace , for he appealed to a new public , created to a certain extent the wants which he satisfied , and thus may be said to have enlarged the domain of Art . ^ It would be too tedious td trace the course of the influence we have pointed out , but all acquainted with contemporary schools will be able to recogniseit . Even in Lady Morgan ' pages , the student who keeps this hint in mind , arid who can separate loving enthusiasm from true criticism , will find ample justification of what we have advanced . He will be able to discern that Salvator Rosa is not the brilliant and fantastic exception which ardent admirers make him out to be , but simply the first and most remarkable man of a newj less august , but still admirable and not yet dethroned dynasty .

MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Friday Evening , March 30 . 1855 . We are evidently in for another fortnight or more of doubt and anxiety about the Vienna conferences . The effect hero has not beeu very perceptible . The great numbers of the moneyed world are , doubtless , tired of tho war , when they see how it lias boon carried on . and are at present believing that shall arrive at crooned 01

We are to have peace , then Sebastopol will not bo required to be dismantled , say tho electric telegraph quidnuncs ; by Midsummer , peace ; and in this next month the visit of him whom the French have permitted to rule over them for a space . Consols will doubtless rise upon that . gracious ovont . Without peace , a fresh loan , & c , & o ., the funds must see a drop of 5 per cent . However , . all tho Government people cry peace , and so we are to have it . Turkish Six per Cents , have maintained a very firm position all tho week , and much speculation going on . Heavy shares aro slightly flatter . Crystal Palaces have experienced a considerable rise in anticipation of fine weather and the visit of Louis Napoleon , perhaps . There has boon considerable animation in the foreign mining market . Tlw accounts from Santiago mines in Cuba , and from tho agent of United Mexican mines is very flattering ; tho latter association has reoeived some thirty thousand dollars from tho Mexican Government in right of an old debt , and havo , moreover , como upon traces of a profitable vein of silver , perhaps the celebrated La Luz lode , lost now for many years .
