MUSEE DES DESSINS.

The Drawings exposed here are marked with the names of the artists, and are mostly studies.

THE MUSEUM of the LUXEMBOURG is in the eastern wing of the palace, entry by a glass door inside the railing of the garden. It is reserved for masterpieces of contemporaneous art. The whole number of paintings is 165, and there are about 30 pieces of sculpture. Among the most valued of the paintings are, The Children of Edward IV., by Delaroche; The Suliote Woman, and Eberhard Count of Wurtemberg, by Ary Scheffer; Judith and Holofernes, and Raphael at the Vatican, by Horace Vernet; The Decay of the Roman Empire, by Couture; CALLING OF THE LAST VICTIMS OF THE REIGN OF

TERROR, by Muller; Nivernais Husbandry and Haymaking in Auvergne, by Rosa Bonheur. On the ground floor there is a gallery of masterpieces of modern sculpture.

HOTEL CLUNY AND PALAIS DES THERMES. To properly enjoy this rare collection, a catalogue, to be had the door, is essential. The museum of the Hotel Cluny, in the Rue des Mathurins, near the corner of the Boulevard St Michel, contains a valuable collection of relics of the middle ages, and of the period of the Renaissance, consisting of glass, porcelain, tapestry, wood carvings, arms, state carriages of the reign of Louis XIV., &c. &c. The building in which this singular collection is exhibited dates from 1480. Its Gothic turrets and elaborately ornamented windows, are very striking. The Palais des Thermes is the name given to the remains of what was once the palace of the Roman governor of Gaul. It is now partially restored. The most perfect part is the large hall with a vaulted ceiling, which was the cold bath, or frigidarium. It is 65 ft. long by 45 ft. wide and 54 high. The niches in which the bathing tubs

were placed are still visible, near to the chamber which contained the apparatus for heating water. The hall contains many pieces of Roman sculpture found in Paris. In the garden is a curious metallic cross, taken in the late Crimean war from the Church of St Vladimir at Sebastopol.

Previous to the recent dis

covery of the Gallo-Roman Amphitheatre, the Palais des Thermes was the only visible structure of the Roman period which Paris possessed.

The remains of an ancient GALLO - ROMAN AMPHITHEATRE have recently been discovered in the Rue Monge, while excavating the foundations of the proposed new office of the Compagnie des Omnibus. The area is entered by a large gateway on the north, on the left of which is the gladiator's room, from which the arena was separated by folding doors. Traces of the fastenings still remain. The inner arena is surrounded by a wall of about 10 ft. high. Numerous coins have been discovered: amongst them some of the time of Adrian, and others of Gordian III., Mumerian, Tetricus the younger, Constantine the Great, and Constantine II. In addition to these coins several medals, earthenware vessels, a valuable collar, and two skeletons have been found. Its diameter is about 140 yards, and it probably accommodated 15,000 spectators.

THE MUSEE D'ARTILLERIE, in the place St Thomas D'Aquin, contains a fine collection of arms of all ages and countries. It is classed in chronological order, from the fourteenth century to the present time. In the armour gallery are effigies of knights in armour of various periods attended by warriors on foot. Among the historical relics is the suit of armour worn by

Henry, Duke of Guise, who was killed at Blois in 1588. The flag of the old Imperial Guard is preserved here, in a gilt frame. In the vestibule are specimens of primitive fire arms and a large number of field and other cannon. Hung round the walls is a large chain 590 feet long, weighing 7900 lbs., which was used by the Turks for a pontoon bridge over the Danube at the siege of Vienna in 1685.

THE MUSEUM OF THE CONSER

VATOIRE DES ARTS ET METIERS, 292, Rue St Martin, contains a valuable collection of machines, drawings, models, and scientific and mechanical apparatus including hydraulic machines, apparatus for lighting and warming, agricultural machines, &c., &c.

THE PALACE OR SCHOOL OF FINE ARTS, the name of which sufficiently indicates the object of its foundation, is in the Rue Buonaparte. The entrance to the first court is by a superb gate, decorated with two colossal busts In the of Puget and Poussin. first court is a marble Corinthian column surmounted by a bronze statue of Abundance. Behind this column is the beautiful front of a chateau, built in 1500 at Gaillon, by Cardinal d'Amboise. On the left are sculptures from the facades of the Hotel Tremouille, formerly situated in the Rue Bourdonnais. On the right is the ancient conventual chapel, the front of which is formed of the portal of the Château d'Anet, built in 1548, by Henry II., for Diana of Poitiers. This chapel consists of a single nave with an arched roof. At the end is a copy of Michael Angelo's Last Judgment, and, in the little

The

Chapel of Marguerite de Valois,
are casts of the Moses of Michel
Angelo, and the tombs of Julien
and Laurent de Medicis, by the
same artist, and also casts of the
bronze doors of the baptistry of
Florence of which Michael Angelo
said that they were "worthy to
stand at the entrance of Para-
dise." The interior of the Pal-
ace is not remarkable.
Salle Louis XIV. and the Salle
du Conseil contain a collection of
portraits of the most eminent
members of the Academy. In
the Galerie de Prix, which is
divided into three parts by
Corinthian pilasters, is a collec-
tion composed of pictures which
have obtained the great prize of
Rome. On the Quai Malaquais,
near by, was erected in 1860-61,
where
building
held the annual exhibitions
of pictures painted by the
pupils of the school at Rome,
and the pictures which have taken
the prizes at the School of Fine
Arts at Paris.
