Tun FORTHCOMING LIVERPOOL AUT EXHIBI - TION . —This year Liverpool will have an exhibition of paintings in oil and water colours in many respects superior to anything previously shown in the town . Formerly there were art exhibitions under
the auspices of public societies , but latterly the only opportunities afforded of inspecting works of art have been provided by private firms or individuals . and though in some instances the collections have contained paintings of a very high order of merit ,
many of the works shown have been but little above mediocrity , and some of them mere contemptible daubs . In taking the requisite steps for an autumn exhibition this year , the town council has given a
guarantee that the collection shall comprise only works of a high order , and in that respects that it shall be far superior to any of its predecessors . This exhibition is to include works of modern artists
whose productions may have adorned the walls of some of the best metropolitan exhibitions in this present year , every picture of which will have affixed to it the price at which it will be sold . Four capacious rooms in the Free Library and Museum have
been devoted to the exhibition , and the hanging committee are now actively engaged in arranging the places for the pictures . The exhibition , which will open on the 4 th September , will comprise about 200 productions of the leading artists of the day ,
many of them brought from the Old and New Water Colours Society , the Dudley Gallery and the Suffolkstreet Gallery , and will continue open to the end of October . There will also bc some very fine statuary .
At present the arrangements are in so crude a state that it is impossible to give anything like a fair idea of the works sent from all parts of the kingdom ; but when the hanging is completed a day will be set aside for a private view .

ORDERS OF CHIVALRY .
RED CROSS OF CONSTANTINE . A special conclave of the Red Cross Order was convened , under the auspices of the Macdonald Conclave , No . 14 , on the evening of Thursday , the 24 th ult ., for the purpose of conferring the grades of ths Order upon III . Bro . Jackson ll . Chase , 33 ,
of New York , and other eminent brethren . The meeting was held in the "Crown" Room at Freemasons' Tavern , and although the notice to attend was extremely short—in fact , only twenty-four hours —thefollowing knights answered to the muster-roll : Sir Kts . F . H . Gottlieb , 30 ° . J . P ., Int . Gen . East .
Archipelago ; Major E . H . Finney , 31 , Int . Gen . Cambridge ; R . Wentworth Little , 1 S , G . R ., Int . Gen . Unatt . ; J . G . Marsh , G . A ., Int . Gen . Essex ; S . Rosenthal , 33 , P . Sov . ; G . Kenning , 18 ° , K . G . C . ; T . Burdett Yeoman , i £° ; E . H . Thiellay , W . Carpenter , J . W . Barrett , 1 S ; J . S . Banning-, J . W . Dawson , and J . Gilbert , Sentinel .
The conclave was duly opened by Sir Kt . Little , who explained that 111 . Bros . Chase and Thompson were unfortunately unable to be present , in consequence of an unforeseen occurrence ; but that the candidates in attendance would be received . Bros . Thos . Me <; gy , P . M . 21 , F . Davison , P . M . 10 ,
H . Massey , P . M . 619 , and John C . W . Bailey , 32 ° , of Chicago , editor of the Voice of Masonry , were then regularly introduced and installed as Knights of the Order . A College of Viceroys was opened , when Sir Kts . Banning , Meggy , and Bailey were admitted to the Priestly grade , and subsequently to the rank of Sovereigns of the Order .
Tho conclave was then closed , and the knights retired to the banqueting-room , where an excellent repast was served—the chair and vice-chair being tilled by Sir Kts . Little and Rosenthal respectively . After the usual loyal and chiva'ric toasts , which were drunk with great cordiality , the Chairman
proposed "The Healths of the Newly-Installed Cotnpnnions-in-Arms , " who , he said . wereall distinguished members of the Craft , and would be ornaments to any society . The toast was , however , specially coupled with the name of 111 . Bro . Bailey , 32 ° , who has accompanied the American Templar
tourists during their visit to Europe , and in the name of the Red Cross Order , the Chairman greeted him heartily as their guest that evening , and expressed the assurance that he would carry back with him to the great State of Illinois the good wishes of every English Mason for the prosperity
of the American Craft . ( Cheers . ) Sir Kt . Bailey said that , as an Englishman born , he felt delighted to revisit his native land , and as an American citizen , he rejoiced to witness the harmony and good feeling which now existed , not only between British and American Alasons , but between
the two nations themselves . He was proud of Masonry , for wherever he went he found good hearts and true amongst the Brotherhood , and in thanking them for the honour conferred upon him that evening , he might add that , without loss of time upon his return to Chicago , he intended to
hoist the Red Cross banner , and to form aconclave . ( Applause . ) Sir Kt . Bailey concluded his eloquent speech by proposing "The Health of the Vice-Clv . iirman , Sir Kt . Rosenthal , " which was received with all the honours , and elicited a kindly response from the Acting Viceroy .
The Chairman said that he felt some diffidence in proposing the next toast , inasmucli as it might be called "drinking their own healths ; " but he felt that some acknowledgment was due to the brethren who had attended at very brief notice , in order to assist in the ceremonials of the evening ; and with
the toast the name of the venerable and respected Sir Kt . William Carpenter was specially coupled . Sir Kt . Wm . Carpenter returned thanks in very humorous terms , and trusted they might have many more such pleasant and harmonious gatherings . The stirrup cup was then passed round , and the knights separated .
On Monday , the 28 th ultimo , 111 . Bros . J . H , Chase , 33 ° , and C . H . Thompson , 33 , of New York , were duly received into the Order , and advanced to the Sovereign's grade , and Sir Kt . Chase was empowered to found three conclaves in the State of New York on his return to America .

They act with so decided an effect , and yet so gently , that people of the most delicate constitutions may take them wilh the most perfect confidence . They do not a single grain of mercury or other noxious
substance , being composed exclusively of rare balsams . I hey are , therefore , equally safe and efficacious , and as a family medicine , nothing yet invented or discovered can be compared with them for a moment . With these inestimable Pills at hand , together with the printed directions affixed to each box , no other medical advice or assistance can be needed in any ordinary case of sickness , —[ Advt . l
