In the landscape department of painting, Miss Gouldsmith is inferior in talent to few of the male professors of that branch of the arts.

Its elaborate finish must necessarily have required considerable time in the execution; and the character of our climate is much too variable to have enabled the artist, day after day, to paint from the same hue of atmosphere, and the same effect of chiaroscuro.

A grand question has just been decided as to the power of the directors of the theatres over the actors. M. de Rochefocauld has detained Madame Mainville Fodor two years against her consent. The theatres being under the control of government, and the grand opera, the comic opera, the Italian opera, the théâtre François, and the Odéon, being placed de la Rochefocauld, who has the charge of the under the authority of the Viscount Sosthenes Fine Arts, the royal theatres, &c. he considered he had a right to transplant actors from one theatre to another without their consent,-to forbid them playing save at the theatre he thought fit, to compel them to remain and perform against their consent; and, in short, to treat them something like slaves. Madame Fodor was not so fortunate as Cinti, and had recourse to the tribunals, which, after two years, have decided in her favour, and proved that performers do not cease to be citizens, and are entitled to equal justice with all classes of his majesty's subjects. This decision has broken the viscount's sceptre in his hand; and it is believed he will instantly retire, to avoid the humiliations which must arise from the various actors, who will now assert their rights, of which they have been so long arbitrarily deprived.
