Exhibition or Paintinhs.?Lovers of the fine arts will bo rejoiced to learn that?through the good office* of Mr. Franklin Philp?two tine paiutingx are to be on exhibition at tlic room beneath the new hull of the Washington Art Association during Christinas week. The Urtat Fallot Niagara, is the well-knownchef-'doctwr* ot F. E. Church, distinguished among American laudscape painters. It has been described ils au exact representation of this national wonder, covering a canvas some eight feet ill length nud four in width. The view is from the Canadian side, some distance above Table Rock, and takes in the entire sweep of the Horse-Shoe Fail to the corner of float Island, including also the Rapids, the "Three Sisters," and the Canada shore, until visual runge is lost in distant white-caps, fiually giving place to a smoother surface of water. The mighty torrent, as it leaps and foams, rushing onward, growing wilder and fiercer, until bonding down ami plunging over the awful cataract into a yawning abyss, seems as a reality. Here we behold this wild Hood breaking into transparent foam, and then maintaining its more compnct form in sluggish, deep, dark green, whilst from the chasm far below rises a gauzy mini, which ascends and consolidates into beautiful cloud*, hinged with purple mid golden tinU from a netting nun. Arching all these is the volar bow with its exquisitely-delicate prismatic colors. II Carta, or the Race-course at Home, by Barber, is another noteil American picture, and we are confident that while the two are on exhibition here they will be visited by crowds. Every one who has any pretensions to artistic taste will go and see them. Theatrical.?Mr. ltarry Sullivan has made a favorable impression upon the Washington play goers, and we are pleased to see that?despite the inclement weather? he has good houses. His declamatory powers exhibit careful traiuiug, aud his interpretation shows close study of the characters which lie represents. Mr. Sullivan is uiKi uestionably the best actor now on the American stage, and we advise our readers not to miss hearing him during his brief visit here. 1'krsonal.?Hon. John Letcher, M.
