FINE ARTS AND THE LIVERPOOL EXHIBITION .
The report of the l'ine Arts Committee of thc Liverpool Corporation on the seventh Autumn Exhibition of Pictures For 1877 has just been issued , and is of a most satisfactory kind . Itstates— "The number- of admis -ions by payment at the doors amounted to 3 s , 949 in thc morning at is ., 2623
in the evening at is ., are ! 33 , 533 in the evening at 3 d ., making a total of 72 , 103 , besides 2 , 316 season tickets , and about 12 , 000 pupils of schools of all classes anil denominations admitted gratuitously . The works exhibited numbered 1 3 , and included 652 oil paintings , 6 37 water colours , 31 pieces of sculpture , and other works of art . Of this number 1193 were on sale , and 301 were sold during the
exhibition for sums amounting , at catalogue prices , to £ 10 , 93 6 us . In presenting the above figures , the Committee beg to call attention to several items which are extremely gratify ing . The admissions are about 30 , 000 more than last year , while the number of season tickets solel ( 2316 , as against 1161 the previous year ) is unprecedented , and shows a desire on the part of thc public to
avail themselves more generally of the advantages of the Art Collection . The amount realised in the sale of pictures was £ 2 c 86 7 s . more than last year , and there is no doubt that , but for Ihe general depression of trade throughout the country , the proportionate increase in the sales vvoulel have been fully equal to that of the a- ' missions . The- sales of pictures include two works purchased by the Corporation
for the permanent collection of the Walker Art Gallery , viz ., an oil painting by C . Napier Hemy , entitled " A Nautical Argument , " and a drawing by H . Clarence Whaite , " The Casle Rock , Cumberland ; " a selection which appears to have g iven general satisfaction . Mr . Alderman Bennett has given fresh evidence of his liberality by purchasing and presenting to the gallerv Ihe noble pieture , " Serf
Emancipation , " by Mr . Armitage , R . A . ; anil Mr . Alderman Hall purchased and presented to the Corporation Mr . Arthur Stocks'fine work entitled "The Best of Husbands . " The l i-rmmittee cannot but feel that the great success of this year ' s exhibition is due , in a great measure , to the fact that it was held in the Walker Ait Gallery , the munificent gift of Sir A . B . Walker . Aitists and the public generally
have expressed thc greatest satisfaction with the lighting and arrangement of the r roms , features which will doubtless contribute to thc success of future exhibitions . It isunelerst- oil that several arti-ls of the highest standing contemplate painting special works for the next Autumn Exhibition , being impressed with the beneficial influence it is exerting amongst all classes in the town and neighbourhood . "
The popular theory of the Solar System has been vigorously assailed by a coloured preacher in Virginia , who is actively cneleavouring to convert people- to the belief that the sun moves round the earth , Hkmg the Bible as his authority . In a recent sermon he argued that if Joshua told the sun to stand still how could it stand still if it had not been moving . David says , " the rising and g ' ing down of the sun . Would any grammarian say that "rising "
meant "standing still . '" Again , IsaUh said the sun was turned back ten de grecs . Could it have been turned hack if it had not been moving ? If Ihe earth revolver ! rounil the sun what would become of the ocean ? Would it not be all spilled over the land ? Urging hi-, congregation to believe in the Bible , which says the sun moves , and not the philosophers , who say it does not , the preacher asked each rrf his congregation who believed in his theory to raise his hand ; and so convincing weic his arguments that every
hand was raised . The Bethnal Green Museum this summer will
contain an Exhibition of Furniture , Cabinet Work , and Ornamented Wood Work , inclueling some furniture from the Royal Palaces , lent by the Queen , and , as much household furniture is manufactured in Eastern London , it is believed that the Exhibition will be specially attractive in 1 l 1 . 1 t neighbouthood . The Exhibition will open on May 1 , anil will fill the space hithirto occupieel Iry the Prince of Wales's Indian piesents , now removed to Paris .
On Wednesday week Messrs Elder launched from their works at Fairfield , Govan , the firstof the six steel coivettes they are constructing for ihe Admiralty . The chief characteristics of this vessel ( the Comus ) are steel in place of iron , brass ram stem and stern frames , the absence
of double bottoms , the introdu .-tion of spare rudders , and steel decks for protecting the machinery . She has a grerss b linage if 2200 tons , and engines of 1300 indicated horse power . She is intended principally for foreign service , and will carry two niictycwt . and twelve sixty-four pounder guns . Her complement will be 24 ; men .
DEATH OF AN ARAISIC SCHOLAR . —We are sorry to record the death ot Risk Allah Hassoun Effe-nili , of Aleppo , one of the greatest living Arabic scholars and poets of the day . He was Turkish and Arabic interpreter to Fuad Pasha on the expedition sent to Syria by the Porte at the time of the massacres . He was a naturalised English subject , and the author of several excellent works in Arabic , both in prose anil verse . —Academy .
STEAM FOR HEATING PURPOSES . —It is stated that a company has been organised in New York to supply . ¦ team for heating purposes . Three miles of street mains have been laid , and at present upwards of forty large buildings are hcateel by the system of pipes , which derive their steam from one boiler 5 ft . by 16 ft . in size-. The pipes run through fifteen streets , anel over / , 000 , 000 cubic feet
of space is warmed by steam , which is supplied at a pressure of 30 H ) . to the square inch . The s'eani , i " addition : 1 leati lg imposes , can be used for cooking f'J '" ' washing domes , and extinguishing fires . In addition , the hot water fioin condensed steam is furnished to ihe house through the same pipes . The cost is said to be much less than that of orelinary fuel .

The popular theory of the Solar System has been vigorously assailed by a coloured preacher in Virginia , who is actively cneleavouring to convert people- to the belief that the sun moves round the earth , Hkmg the Bible as his authority . In a recent sermon he argued that if Joshua told the sun to stand still how could it stand still if it had not been moving . David says , " the rising and g ' ing down of the sun . Would any grammarian say that "rising "
meant "standing still . '" Again , IsaUh said the sun was turned back ten de grecs . Could it have been turned hack if it had not been moving ? If Ihe earth revolver ! rounil the sun what would become of the ocean ? Would it not be all spilled over the land ? Urging hi-, congregation to believe in the Bible , which says the sun moves , and not the philosophers , who say it does not , the preacher asked each rrf his congregation who believed in his theory to raise his hand ; and so convincing weic his arguments that every
hand was raised . The Bethnal Green Museum this summer will
