expose present acknowledged abuses , and who , il they had their way , would take the command oi our national resources in the { notarial line * to find them indulging in remarks which evidence a want of reverence for all that we have been accustomed to consider most sanctified and interesting in art history . Without disparagement of the matured and acknowledged excellence of Titian , Coreggio , and Raphael , and even of the late Bolognese school , we cannot shut our eyes to the grand aiad sterling merits of the pioneers of art who preceded them- — " such performers" as Giotto , Benozzo Gozzoli , Massaccio , Iiuca Sisnorelli , FraAnffelico . Manteffua , and others ,
'' primitive painters , " whom Mr . Davis is pleased to characterise as " barbarous , " but in whose works all true lovers of Michael Angelo and Baphael recognise the first development of those elements which the latter afterwards combined and wrought up in such high perfection . " Works of this class are almost invaluable from their very rarity , and we shall always hail the introduction of good and genuine specimens into our national collection towards the completion of the " chronological sjstem" which Mr . Davis deprecates . Nothing but an appeal to public judgment will set us right , and keep us right in these matters .

The Pictubks rs tub National Gallery . —Much has been said about covering the pictures in the National Gallery with glass , for the purpose of preserving them from the influences of a London atmosphere : a far more important result -will be obtained if , in the process of fixing the glass over those pictures , care is taken to exclude , as much as possible , the air . Thus the great vital agent of the atmosphere , and the great destroyer , oxygen , would be prevented from carrying on , wiili its ordinary rapidity , its important work of oxydation and decay . —Professor R . Eunt , in the " Art Journal . "

Leader Office, Friday Night, December 3r...
Leader Office , Friday Night , December 3 rd . FEANCE . Notwithstanding the pardon of the Emperor , M . do Montalembert , accompanied by MM . Berryer and Dufaure , presented himself at the registrar's office yesterday , to lodge an appeal against the sentence pronounced upon him . He has addressed the following letter to the editor of the Moniteur : — " M- le Re * dacteur , * -Vrhe Moniteur of this morning contains in its unofficial part a piece of news which I learn on reading that paper . It is to this effect—* H . M .
the Emperor , on the occasion of the anniversary of the 2 nd of December , has remitted , in favour of Couut de Montalembert , the penalty pronounced against him . ' Condemned on the 24 th of November , I have appealed , within the term allowed by the law , against the sentence pronounced against me . No Government in France has had , up to the present , the right to remit a penalty which is not definitive . I am of those who still believe in right , and who do not accept a pardon . I pray you , and , if need be , require you , to be good enough to insert thia letter in your next number . —Ch . de Montalembert . "
The Moniteur says that competent tribunals will decide whether the appeal which M . de Montalembert seeks , can , under the present circumstances , be sustained . A rumour was previously circulated that the Archbishop of Paris intended to intercede with , the Empress to obtain a remission of the sentence . M . de Montalembert immediately wrote to decline the kind offices of the prelate . His letter contains this passage : — " Proud and honoured by a condemnation which proves my fidelity to the political principles of my whole life , and which comes so opportunely to justify in the eyes of Europe and of posterity all that I have said or thought on the actual condition of France , I have at this moment no other desire than to leave to my judges the responsibility of their nets , And I could only regard in the light of a real wrong ( injure ) the slightest favour emanating from the Imperial Government . "
In the announcement of the pardon in the Moniteur , the allusion to the anniversary of the 2 nd December is , doubtless , intended as a stroke of Barcnsm ; it is simply an espidglerie . M . de Montalembert , like many others , was , perhaps , disposed to palliate the act of the 2 nd December , 1851 , thinking , as others did , that somosuch change eaved for a time the country from civil war . The allusion of the Moniteur Ib ill-Judged ; it evokes a host of reminiscences which it woro bettor to havo left untouched . It reminds the public that M . de Montalembert ' a adhesion lasted about twenty days , and it revives tlie memory of that other act agulnst which the public voice was raised- ^ -tlie confiscation of the Orleans , property . From this act In particular dates tho surrender of M . de Montalombort of tho delusions under which he , In common with other sincere and conidlng persona , may have laboured . The following cuaxjfiea In the French Ministry are
spoken of : —"&* . de Royer , Minister of Justice , retires , and will be replaced by M . Delangle ; M . de Persigny will be Minister of the interior ; and M . Pietri , the former Prefect of Police , will be created Minister of Police , with very extended powers .
Sardinia. A Turin Letter Says:—" The War...
SARDINIA . A Turin letter says : — " The warlike discourse of King Victor Emmanuel to his troops is reduced to a few simple words -which he spoke to Colonel Holland , after having reviewed the brigade of Savoy , which loudly cheered his Majesty : — ' The bearing of these troops pleases me exceedingly—it is truly warlike . This js a great satisfaction to me , for if in the spring , or at any other time , vehad to take the field , I may rely on the excellent feeling of the army . ' " The Piccolo Corriere dItalia of Turin 6 ays : — " The fortifications of Alessandria , Casale , Genoa , and La Spezia are being actively pushed on . The fortiScations of Alessandria are to receive 300 guns , already cast and placed on their carriages . The arsenals of the state contain upwards of 200 , 000 muskets , besides other weapons in proportion . There are large quantities of ammunition and uniforms for 100 , 000 men . There are twenty tieldbatteries in reserve . "
The Ionian Islands. Mr. Gladstone Arrive...
THE IONIAN ISLANDS . Mr . Gladstone arrived at Corfu on the 24 th of November , in the Terrible . He is accompanied by Mrs . Gladstone , and his Secretary , the Hon . Archibald Gordon . His arrival had created quite a sensation in the island .
Seryia. According To The Last Advices Fr...
SERYIA . According to the last advices from Belgrade , the Prince has fixed the 12 th of December for the opening of the Skouptschina , and Belgrade as the seat of the Assembly . The day is the anniversary of the Constitution of 1838 , consequently a day of great festivity . By the date of the last letters from Servia -which have arrived here Cabuli Effendi , the Turkish Commissioner , had not yet arrived . All * throughout the Pan Sclavonian nationalities an unusual fermentation is spoken of , and various letters coming from the banks of the Vistula , the Drave , and the Save , describe the hopes and efforts of that race to amalgamate . Austrian Galicia is actively mixed up in this movement , and Moscow seems to be the central seat of the commotion . New journals ^ written in the various dialects of the Sclaves , are daily started , and a printing-press in the saino interest has been set up at Berlin .

BELGIUM . In the new penal code , now under examination in the Chamber of Representatives , the Government proposes to increase the punishment against writers in the public press who should be found guilty of attacks against the laws or against the constitutional authority of the King .
