Harcfiiirl nnd Cn.'s rooms, l.amhton Quay, and they will be sold by auction there on Tuesday next. Perhaps Hip largest nnd most, important work is "Thi' Wood Gatherers." in which the luxuriant ami sombre woodland forms n rich background for the figures, fiiißßestins the stylo of Rembrandt. Sir J nil n Millars "Memories" has a stronsf touch of sentiment that will particularly appeal just now. "Tales _ From Boccaccio," Sir James D. Tiirton's lust exhibit in the, Royal Academy, is doubtless the most ■important of his worke, and, in his inimitable treatment so subtle and exquisite in ininuMe, his study for "The Proclamation" and "Flag of Truce' , are perhaps more bnwdl.V handled, but there is Hie same refinement of touch in rill which had become part of his exquisite art. Sir .Inhn Gilbert's "The Sacrifice of Virginia," though unfinished, displays his vigorous and maslerlv treatment. Sir Edwin Landseer. ,"Hi« Maiesty Leo"; W. ,1.
