in the new light at His feet. He holds a lamb in each arm; one of the creatures, who seems to have been wounded, turns its head to look into the face of Christ, and presses close to His bosom. The other lamb rests on the arm of its bearer and is content. The head of Christ, enclosed by a threefold nimbus, is of a beautiful and manly type, and, without austerity in its expression, fine, gentle, and dignified. The costume, of ample classic drapery, includes a tunic and large mantle, which, as drapery, has been treated in an admirable manner. The design, size, and technique -although the last is not so searching as Mr. Holman Hunt employed for the Light of the World '-fit this capital example to serve as a pendant to that extremely popular work.

From Mr. Lefèvre we have an artist's proof of a plate engraved by Mr. A. Turrell in mezzotint from Mr. J. R. Reid's landscape with figures at the Academy in 1883, called 'A Spill not much Harm Done.' It depicts a turnip field where an old huntsman, who has been thrown from his horse, has approached a woman and her children working there.

-

The

woman carefully folds a handkerchief in order to bind up the injured wrist of the sufferer. The reproduction of the picture is extremely vivid and fortunate, suffering, however, from the spottiness of the foreground of turnips. The landscape and the expressions and attitudes of the figures could hardly be better.

THE WEEK.

CRYSTAL PALACE.-Saturday Concerts. ST. JAMES'S HALL.-The Richter Concerts. Mr. Wi Bache's Pianoforte Recital.

THE second of the present series of Crys Palace Concerts, given last Saturday, was general excellence by no means inferior that of the preceding week. Again 1 Manns's well-known zeal for English mu asserted itself—this time by the product of a concert overture, entitled 'Prosper from the pen of Mr. F. Corder. In earlier works Mr. Corder showed hims a thoroughgoing partisan of the "advan school" of music; his work gave evide of undoubted talent, but he appeared hai to have his ideas under control. To cause, and to the excessive difficulty of m that he wrote, is to be attributed the that his abilities have hitherto scarcely ceived the general recognition to which think they are fairly entitled. It is, th fore, with the more pleasure that we no in his new overture a distinct advance regards clearness of form and idea. appears to have passed through the pro of fermentation, if the comparison may

MR. F. MADOX BROWN's picture of Wycliff with John of Gaunt before the prelates in St. Paul's, which we have already described from a version of the same design in oil, has been begun

in fresco as one of the series of decorations in the panels of the large hall in the Town Hall at Manchester, and will be finished concurrently with Chetham's Dream,' which we mentioned a few weeks ago. The oil version of 'Wycliff' is in the Liverpool Exhibition.

MR. R W. MACBETH has just finished for Messrs. Colnaghi & Co. an etching from George Mason's small picture called 'The End of the Day,' the property of the Queen.

MR. W. B. RICHMOND's picture of 'An Athenian Audience' has been purchased by the trustees of the Birmingham Public Picture Gallery Fund for presentation to the Corporation Art Gallery.

MR. WALTER C. HORSLEY leaves London this week for Cairo, where he intends to paint, for exhibition at the next Academy, another of those Oriental pictures on a large scale to which he has devoted himself of late.

WITH regard to what has been done to the once noble and genuine abbey church of St. Albans we cannot do better than repeat and

endorse the comments of the Builder of last week, made after reference to the share of Sir Edmund Beckett in the unhappy "restoration." "The fact is that if the eminent lawyer and ecclesiastical judge' had confined himself to giving the cheques (and, perhaps, aiding by his advice in the practical portion of the work) he would have deserved far more gratitude than he does. The gentleman alluded to is a man of remarkable abilities, and he is really an authority on various matters, such as clocks and bells, out of his professional calling; but he is not an authority on art in any shape, and no society of persons educated in artistic matters would attach the slightest value to his opinion or taste on any matter of that kind. The assistant he

AMONG the sales reported by continental journals, one of the events of the season is the dispersion at Cologne by auction of the large and wealthy collection of armour and weapons formed at Dresden by M. F. R. Berthold. This gatherpieces of armour of various dates and styles, including incomparable examples of the Maximilian kind, which form, as one journal states, quite a little battalion of figures fully clad in steel and variously armed. The finer specimens comprise cuirasses, casques, salades, and arm coverings, richly fluted, moulded, inlaid, and engraved, with gauntlets enough to equip a regiment, besides halberds, lances, morning-stars, glaives, and spears out of number, coats of mail, poniards, cross-bows, pistols carabines, dagues, arquebusses, and other firearms of various dates and designs. In the same collection is a considerable number of pieces of majolica, porcelain. enamel, and glass, and vitraux, bronzes, statuettes, flambeaux, jewellery, bijouterie, cups, hanaps, monstrances, chalices, clocks, and coffers.

ABOUT the end of the year a new hall, appropriated to the French School of Painting, will be opened in the Louvre.

A CORRESPONDENT at Rome writes :

"The bronze statue which some weeks ago was found in the Tiber by some workmen engaged on the new bridge across the river is now identified as that with a dagger, as originally described. The iniquity of a youthful Bacchus, instead of a slave striking of oblivion' has dealt generously with this long buried treasure, for though pedestal and figure are detached, the right foot broken off a little above the ankle, and the thyrsus broken in two, all the missing parts have been found, and under the skilful hands of Signor Penelli will soon, it is hoped, be so restored as to render the lines of fracture almost in

A HIGHLY successful pianoforte and vocal recital was given by Fräulein Lilli Lehmann and Herr Franz Rummel at the Steinway Hall last Thursday week. The German prima donna has sung with acceptance on our Italian opera stage, and her assumption of the role of Isolde during the last German opera season will be remembered as a strikingly fine performance, vocally and dramatically.

A CHAMBER concert by the students of the Royal Academy of Music was given at St. James's Hall yesterday (Friday) week. The new compositions introduced were a well-written Pianoforte Trio in D, by Mr. Ernest Fowler; a Caprice and Bolero for piano, by Miss Ethel Boyce; and a part-song for female voices, The Return of May,' by Miss Amy Horrocks.

Ir may be noted that the receipts of the last festival of the Three Choirs amounted to 3,018., which is 67 above the average of the four previous meetings at Hereford. The sum available for the Clergy Widows and Orphans Fund is 990., and the stewards will have to meet a deficiency of 525l., or slightly less than half the amount of their guarantee.

MUCH interest has been inspired by the performances of the Dramatic Students, and their second representation was witnessed by an audience including a large number of literary notabilities. That it should have been altogether so successful as the first was scarcely to be expected. A second-rate production of a second-rate dramatist, such as The Housekeeper' of Douglas Jerrold, and a not very brilliant and altogether ill-starred farce of Charles Lamb offer no such opportunities as are furnished by The Two Gentlemen of Verona,' a piece which the young actors may be counselled to repeat. The performances were, however, creditable, had the old merit of ensemble, and had quite as much interest as the nature of the pieces allowed. Certain scenes of 'Mr. H,' indeed, elicited loud laughter, and the pictures presented were delightful in all respects. By placing the action in the period of the play's production, 1806, opportunity for the introduction of very piquant and effective costume was afforded. The brilliant prologue was well spoken by Mr. R. de Cordova, as were by Mr. Bernard Gould the happy lines written by Mr. Clement Scott as a prologue to the entire representation. In the case of so friendly a competition there is little temptation to dwell upon individual performances. It is enough to say that the whole was eminently creditable and intelligent, though taken in too low a key. At one or two points the dialogue was scarcely audible. Much promise was shown by various actors, and the second experiment proves conclusively there is good material on which to work.

The Criterion reopened on Monday with 'The Candidate.' The representation of this clever and amusing piece was excellent, Mr. Wyndham in the principal character showing himself an admirable comedian. Mr. Giddens and Mr. Blakeley also acted well, and the whole went with unsurpassable mirthfulness. A strengthening of the female portion of the cast, so far as regards one or advantage to the play. two exponents at least, would be a decided
