Metropolitan Hall. --We should imagine that the glowing and beautiful Louisiana scenery, and metropolitan architecture and localities, of Lee Mallory's War Illustrations, would have additional interest since the reception of the news from New Orleans. That fine picture of Pass Manchaca, said to be so accurately drawn by the artist, is of itself worth looking at, since the place is likely to become historical. It has been long coveted by the Yankees, who have had an eye on the railroad communication leading to the capital of Mississippi, and as far as Memphis. It may be that the War Illustrations will not be seen a great while, and those who have never laid eyes on the scenic, pyrotechnic, and martial displays which pass during the three interesting acts, ought to avail themselves of the nightly opportunity of visiting the Hall.
