THE TURKISH ROOM : AT THE EGYPTIAN HALL . Except the Kile diorama and our : old acquaintance in the bourn ous and the XLelo-dramatic boots , David , we remember no exhibition , at the Egyptian Ball , ttat has ever pretended to keep tip the local colour of that architectural burlesque . Some mysterious divan seems now and then to wake up to a consciousness . of supreme authority ; at least that is one way of accounting fOT the periodical renewal of the hideous fagade , with ^ rejr stucco , and green pMtit t biit no attempt is made to induce conformity within . Albert Smith , lienJ cannot be" held specially chargeable with innovations ; but even if he $ jot itM , having broken the ice in bis Ascent of Mont Blanc , it is not by opening his new and elegant Turkish Room that he violates any coxdeur locale . Ifce a ^ rtment is really worth seeing , if only for its characteristic and beautiful details ; bat the ostensible attraction is the diorama of Congtantinbplevonce ^ exhibited in Langham-place , and now revived , with a new interest ^ a new descriptive lecture , and a new last scene by Beverley . The dioviftoaa was painted by Allom , fron * his own sketches . The starting point is the ^ li of Teriedos ; and the coast scenery of the Dardanelles , and the sea pff ^ iiirmaraisredaced to rational limi ts . Having been shown Constantinople ^ in a i general way , from two or three points of view , we are taken through the different quarters of the city , and familiarised with various pha&ea of ODurkish life . Then we take -water again , and get all the best view * oii the ; Bosphorus , including the Genoese Castle , and the entrance to tl | % &l ack * Sea . Mnally , we look on Constantinople by moonlight , the gay tints ofM&e zninarets all softened and cooled down , but the minarets themselves Btaiidii ^ but ! more sharply than in the yellow glare of noon . In one part of t&iB mctore the sky is reddened by a distant fire . We nave rarely seen so tnitraaiva scenic efieet , even of Beverley ' 8 devising . The lecture is a careful arrangement of materials principally gathered j ^ p ^ j the books in which Albert Smith and Shirley Brooks have set down thj # d ^ p ^ iences and sensations of an Eastern tour . Mr . Charles Xenney hliS j ka ^^ task o > f editing and , in some measure , recasting these ^ matetials . He makes his first appearance as a lecturer . In a quiet , un ^^^ edrmanner lie brings out all the points of a discourse , which does not aim at being preternaturally dazzling or profoundly instructive , and assuredly ib never dulL ; . Q . ¦' .

S » *? & apparently the most incorrigible defect which their works disjn ^ y , ; is an . ' almost total want of harmony in colour . One particular hue predominates painfully in tbe painted-windows of modern churches and pubhc buildings—yellows , reds , or purples constantly presenting themselves as disagreeably superior in prominence to the other colours of the palette .
From what cause , does this very general defect of modern , glass-painting proceed ? Most probably from the cause whicH produces all the worst defects of all defective art—from want of intelligence and want of care . It is these two qualities , we suspect , that have been lost by a great many contemporary glass-painters , and not any mediaeval secrets of colour-grinding-, or vehicle-mixing . And a proof of it—or , in other words , a proof of what intelligence and care can do in our own time towards producing excellence in painting on glass—may now be seen by anybody who chooses to pay a visit to Marlborough House . la the last of the suite of rooms devoted to specimens of ornamental art , is a double window , painted for St . Martin's Church , Canterbury . A label hanging beneath , it states the name of the artist ( a lady , we believe ) to be " HT L . Clarke , " and sets forth that it has been executed on the " principles laid down by Mr . "Winston . " The subject of the first division is St . Martin dividing his cloak with a beggar . The second picture has a mortuary inscription under it , and merely represents an angel appearing at open gates . This , the ; simplest of the two subjects , is also , we think , the most successful in treatment , certainly the most successful in effect . There are some slight symptoms of timidity , and consequent want of due force of contrast , in the lower part of the "St . Martin , " which perhaps weakens the effect of that portion of the -window when looked at from a distance . But this defect , and one . or two other little minor blemishes , are almost lost in the rare and admirable excellence of the general colouring ; there we have really that delightful harmony , sobriety , and legitimate force of colour . which we have so often looked for in vain in so many other modern painted windows . And here , therefore , is a very fair and very welcome proof of what may be done by the earnest and skilful worker of . our own day , which will worthily bear the test of comparison with what has been achieved by the workers of past times . As such , we have chosen the window at Marlborough House for especial notice ; and as such we commend it to the attention of all who are admirers of the important and beautiful art of which it is a very interesting and very excellent example .

DR . KAHN'S MUSEUM . We have already described in terms , of great commendation the interest and value of Dr . Kahri * Anatomical Museum , which we are glad to see has taken such a position with the public that it is likely to be a permanent exhibition . Dr . Kahn has removed it to the Salle Robin , facing the Haymarket , where the disposition of objects is far more favourable . Since our notice there have been several figures added . One of them , showing the -whole organism of a female , very beautifully executed , affords Dr . Leach a text for an interesting popular lecture , listened to with great eagerness by the visitors , who carry away therefrom certain general ideas which they will find beneficial in the regulation of their own health . All who want to gain a rudimentary knowledge of anatomy , in a cZean and pleasant way , should visit this Museum . They will see also a number of very curious objects—enough to give them food for years of meditation .

MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Friday Evening , March 10 , 1854 . Tins expected financial statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer has had no bad effect upon the Funds . Exohe--quer Bills somewhat lower , but Consols are still above 01 . The absurd Btory of the eapture of Kalafat sent down Consols considerably ; but they have b « en strengthening again since that report become manifestly false . Not much doing in Railway Shares , and the tone of the market is flattish . English mines continue to be favourably looked upon ; and according to the sanguine shareholders , we ahall transfer the Australian and Californian £ 1 Dorados to the heart of mcTry England herself . Meetings of Port Royal , Metcalf , mining companies , and North British Australian Land and Loan Company have l ) eeti held during the week . Port Royals report favourable , Metcalf much the reverse . The directors of this unlucky undertaking seem to have been greatly deceived during the early stage of their operations . NTorth British Australian are enabled to declare a modest dividend of 3 i per cent .
Consols close rather flatter , at fl 0 | to 91 ; the second editions seeming to anticipate a forward and instant movement of our fleet'to the Baltic .
