an intention too . in the " Death of St . Oswald , " and who has evidently done his StettoeSesuta . his uninteresting subject well He has ^ no sense of JgwJ ^ gJ not much appreciation of the harmonies of colour ; but he has evidently f orked hard , and his picture on that account deserves to be looked at with respect . It is pleasant to be able to report more favourably of the landscapes . _ Mr . Creswick andMr . T ^ e , among ^ Academicians , are still faithful to the British Institution , and still exhibit with their usual success . By younger , or less known men there are two or three really admirable specimens of landscapepainting . Mr . J . S . Raven ' s " Road to the Homestead" is a singularly genuine and striking bit of nature-wanting nothing , except a little more force in the foreeround . Mr . Maddox Brown ' s "Autumn Afternoon , " though most unfairly hunl in as bad a place as possible , still asserts its merits as an intelligently and carefully studied work , which ought to have had one of the very best places in the room . Mr . E . W . Cooke has a fine sunset view in Venice , more daring in treatment , and more bold and vigorous in effect than most ot his latter works . Mr . Lear has a very admirable large picture of " Windsor Castle from St . Leonard ' Hill , " which is almost as unfairly hung as Mr . Browns landscape . Apparently , conscientious and genuine studies from nature are not to the taste of the picture-hangers at the British Institution . We have only space , before concluding , to mention , as well worth looking at , Mr-George Stanfield ' s " BirkCrag , " , Mr . W'yld's « Pont du Gard , " Mr . Dearies " Welsh River , " Mr . Ferguson ' s " Stackyard in Kent , " Mr . Holland ' s " View on the Grand Canal , " Mr . Burgess ' s Abergavenny , " Mr . T . Daubz ' s " Trophies of Youth , " and Mr . J . Middleton ' s " Sunshine and Shade . " All these pictures rank among the honourable exceptions which make the otherwise indifferent exhibition at the British Institution worth a visit .

Two dramatic productions claim our notice this week . The limits of our space will only permit us to record as briefly as possible the names of the pieces , and their merited success . At the Adelphi , Mr . Dion Bourcicault has produced a strong and stirring drama , in two acts , preceded by a prologue , also in two acts , the whole occupying ( on the first night ) something like four hours in the performance ! and bearing the simple but comprehensive title of the heroine , Janet Pride . The drama is called original , but that eminent theatrical thieftaker ( if he will forgive us the compliment ) , the critic of the Times , pounces upon certain incidents and situations , and restores them to their rightful owners on the other side of the Channel . Quite enough remains , however , to give Mr . Bourcicault a fair right of authorship . The scene is laid first in Paris , next in Australia , and afterwards in London . Mr . Webster , as a ruined drunkard , Madame Celeste , as " Janet Pride , " Keeley , as a clockmaker ' s apprentice , may be imagined rather than ( in our limited space ) described . The mounting of the piece and the general acting are c areful and complete . The success was unequivocal , and the Adelphi has a run till Easter . At the other extremity . of London , in the classical regions of Portman Market , Mr . W . Wallack has brought out , at the Mabylebone , a new version of the old story of The Man in the Iron Mask , by Mr . Bayle Bernard . The success is deserved by the interest of the drama , and by the decorations , which are really worthy of a more central locality than Church-street . - We hear from Oxford that Jullien has met with an enthusiastic welcome from Town and Gown in that city . May the shadow of his big drum never grow less !

On the same evening the Amateur Musical Societ y gave their first concert for the season , under the vigorous conductorshi p of Mr . Henry Leslie . We were not present : but we have heard the performance of Mozart ' s Concerto for pianoforte , in D minor , by Miss Poland ( a pupil of Herr Pauer ) , very warmly com mended . It was , we are told , a surprise , an admiration , a delight .

MRS . FANNY KEMBLE'S READINGS . —EXETER HALL . We are indebted to the taste and intelligence of Mr . Mitchell for an ' evening of refined , intellectual recreation , in this bitter and gloomy season . Mrs . Fanny Kemble ' s readings are too well known to need any recommendation of ours . Every time we hear her we are more and more convinced that to enjoy Shakspeare unalloyed you must avoid the performance of his plays at legitimate theatres , where the divine Williams is stifled by supernumeraries , whose duty seems to be to give due brilliancy , by contrast , to some solitary " star . " Mrs . Fanny Kenible , herself a poet , and a dramatic artist of the highest order , sheds the light of her own exquisite sympathy upon the page she interprets and the personations she embodies with various felicity . The result to an intelligent
and attentive audience is a more complete perception of the general design of the play and of its subtle beauties , than any stage performance with its vulgarities and mutilations can possibly convey . Last Monday the selection was Midsummer Night ' Dream , with Mendelssohn ' s overture and incidental music , executed by an effective orchestra and chorus under the admirable direction of Mr . Benedict . A happier conjunction cannot be conceived . We trust Mr . Mitchell will continue the series . . . .

MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE Friday Evening , February 9 , 1855 . Consols have maintained a firm price considering the disturbed state of the political atmosphere . Ten days of i Ministerial crisis , our army—the only one wo have—brought to annihilation by mismanagement , every member of th < governing classes squabbling with his fellow , lamentable apathy too apparent in this once groat nation , stagnation oi trade , a patched-up Government still without a definite and united policy ,- could ono have prophesied such a pass aa this last year the public securities would probably have been quoted in anticipation at 80 . But Will it last P Must not mor get distrustful ? Can a groat war bo carried on without a loan J Can a ponce bo concluded , as some pcoplo ia this heart of the " Fog Babylon" hint at , at any cost , or on any terms ? Dare wo , without an army , or even 2000 men of the lino , risk n quarrel with Franco at this particular juncture , by breaking off our alliance in order to purchaso a dishonourable peace P No ; the devil to whom wo have sold ourselves during forty years of noaco , sloth , and luxury , will exact tho payment or his bond . Wo also , who stay at homo , must , like our brothers in tho Crimea , undergo our share of tho " firo baptism , " and give up some portion of our overgrown and monstrous-acquircd necessities . Our payment must come as cheerfully and freely , with reduced expondituro at homo , as our gallant army has fought and died for us in tho East ; without this determination wo must consent to bo blotted out of tho roll of nations . Tho talk in tho City is still of a loan of ton to fifteen millions , if tho war goos on . Wo shall soo tho funds , ovon wore Sobastopol captured to-morrow , at 85 before next July , notwithstanding Lord Palmorston and his strong Ministry . Railway shares havo been rather flatter during tho week , n now foreign lino ' called Ardennes is projected , and tho application for sharos is considerable It stands at present at a premium of 11 . to 21 . por share . Crystal Palaces havo gono firmer on tho report and mooting . Groat Luxombourgs flat , tho managers and public still at issue . In mines thoro has been but Httlo trade—n , few bargains in South Australian Copper , and some of tho British mines . Tho largo dividends declared by tho various Joint Stock Banks in tho City , havo given rise to tho nrojootion of two largo establishments , ono to bo called tho "City Bank , " with a capita ) of 300 , 0002 ., and another tho " 'London , " with a . atill larger capital . Turkish bondn aro hardly so buoyant . But llttlo doing in other foroign stocks . , FoiIV-o'clock . —Consols closed at Oil , 01 B : Turkish Scrip , at 70 , 70 }; Russian Fives , 100 , 102 .
