ORIENTAL AND TURKISH MUSEUM . Considering the Turko-mania ¦ which 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 armies into Turkey , to finish yih&t Turkish Reformers have "begun , and in a few years the Ottoman Empire \ vill-be Occidentalised . If travellers are not prompt in their movements they Tvill have to fall back on the Turkish and Oriental Museum , which preserves the life of tbe East—in wax ! This exhibition will give the gentlemen who live at home at ease a decided advantage over military men and newspaper correspondents . We , who merely go to Hyde Park , that be able to put down some of the swagger of those gentlemen on their return . They may talk of Turkish' baths ( according to the authority at St . George ' s G-allery tlie place is more of a " wash-house" than -what we call a * ¦ ' bath" ) , of Khaoes , Bazaars , Hamals , Arabas , Kabobs , &c ., &c . But will any of them have seen a Janissary in his habit as he lived ? Will they have seen Sultan Mahmoud in his ancient imperial robes seated in full Divan , with till his pages , chamberlainSi mutes , &c , receiving the homage of Karah-GeliennetQ , a bowing anachronism , in tbe blue frock and fez of the present day which throws out in strong relief the flowing robes and turbans of the surrounding groupe ? If they have seen Abdul Medjid , wfll they have seen Sultan Osman , the founder of the Ottoman Empire ? Will they have seen a baker with his ear nailed to his door-post ? Above all , will they have penetrated into the interior ° of a harem—into the very bed and boudoir of a Sultana ? At any rate , " if they have got there , which is possible , by all the '' rules of gallantry , they must not say so . Kow all these things , and more , we may see any day for half-a-crown ; all very life-like , the stillness and silence of the figures seeming mere Orientalism . We feel really an odd sensation as we step into the charmed precincts of the inner chambers of the harem , and find
— ^^^*^* Mr- ^ V ^^ VKSU ^ C : ^* S 9 ^^ l ^^ ourselves in the presence of several almond-eyed beauties ( " Kadcrus '' it seems is their proper title ) , making their toilettes , taking coffee , and ^ zinnr 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 coming on a huge black gentleman of the neuter gender , whose eyes are made to roll about in a way at onec 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 tliiuk from their not being so overdone with barbaric gold and pearl as readers fresh from the Arabian Isights would expect ; but as they are chiefly of the unrefornied era of Turkey , there is enough of the picturesque to satisfy any sight-hunters . Decidedly the Turkish and Oriental , Museum is worth seeing . J . S ,

| MR . GEORGE GRANT'S CROMO-LITHOGRAPHIC OF COLUMBUS . I Aix who care for the extensive distribution of works of art must watch with interest the progress of printing in colours . Great difficulties attend any 1 process of the kind . The repeated failure in securing a distinctness of the ! 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 be imparted with some uniformity of transfer from , the block to the paper ; to produce the effect of force without opacity oi * harshness , are diffi-¦ culties whicK have been more or less successfully combated , since Messrs . : Baxter endeavoured tq reduce oil printing to practice ; and they have | attained considerable success * The stone would , of course , suggest u medium for transferring a certain plass of colours with considerable faeility 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 patchiness in the effect . The figure , for example , sitting near Columbus ; s right hand , and clothed in a brown robe , looks much as if it were clothed in rags , from the want of blending between , the lighter and the darker tints , which mark the fall of the stuff ; and . the ^ ame defect is observed in other parts . On the other hand , in some parts , especially in the plain surfaces , as in the sides of the table and of a stool , there arc . some very successful examples of blending . The general eifect of the whole , both in regard to purity of colour and of force in chiaroscuro , is very creditable to the artist . The committee of the Art-Union of Glasgow have purchased the copyright , for the purpose of distributing the specimen as prizes to its members .
