PICTUR ES FOR AUSTRALIA.
London, April 25. A superb collection of pictures has been obtained for the Exhibition at Melbourne, and it is said to be the finest collection of English art ever despatched abroad. It includes pictures by Turner, Landseer, Roberts, Stansfield, Hook, Jones, Halswell, Lawson, Cole, Millais,, Hunt, Frith, Revine, Linnell, Hardy, Leighton, Tadema, Graham, Leslie, and Broughton, and new works specially painted by Mac- ; Whirter, Petrie, Marks, Holl. Mr Agnew's picture "Shadow of Death" has been lent for the Exhibition and the Duke of Westminster will forward a couple of paintings by Turner. The difficulty of resisting the exorbitant demands of the shippers arid insurance companies somewhat imperilled the collection, but this has now been overcome. The Prince of Wales will inspect the collection before its being shipped.
