Mr L. L. Levy, in a preliminary notice which will be found elsewhere, &iyiriiic< his intention ,of holding an Art Union, the prizes to be drawn numbering 75, giving a winning chance for every two tickets, which represent 1.30 at JJI each. JFir&t in the list of prizes are 13 Oleographs with gilt frames, valued at £0 us, and which embrace considerable

variety, both as regards scenery and locality, while they are held by competent judges to be " all tlieir fancy painted them." One entitled uln tho Highlands — Scotland,' where a waterfall breaks through large rocky mounds on either. , side, 0,11 one of which, with lordly dignity, stands the "antler'd monarch k of tho waste," sniffing the gale, while the high mountains tower in tho back ground, is highly suggestive oC a s>pofc we wot of, in Clen llosa, in f the Island of Arran: There are three classic lakes, (icueva, Coino, and Ebla, each with, its own peculiar sur roundings and associations, and pictures representing subjects connected with Swit zerland, Holland, Italy, &c. The Shell pictures, being, we believe, the first 'of their kind introduced to the notice of tho Wanya nui people, deserve especial notice on more than the ground of novelty. They are made of mother-of-pearl and pawa shells inlaid on glass, and pioduco a very brilliant 'effect. They represent respective! y,To\ver of London with a view of Shipping ; Trafalgar Square, with Nelson's Monument ; Noli 6 Damo Cath edral on the Seine. In another class are two good engravings from Herring, and some small oleographs. Thereafter comes two line Orniulu clocks, papier m.ichie tab es, dressing cases, electroplated ware, and an endless variely of nic-nacs for the drawing room. One special feature of the Art Union is that should any person prefer to exchange his prize for any article of similar value ho will be permitted to do so. A, tho terms arc liberal, and tho choice of selection extensive, we havo no doubt Mr Lc\y will be largely .patronised.
