II A Cincinnati correspondent Of the Balti-
more Patriot, states that aeter has been received
In that city from Powers the sculptor in Florence
by his brother, in which he says that s' Eve is
finished and is to be transmitted to the United
States. Although the letter does not state who
is to be he owner OF this exquisite piece of statu.
ary, we suppose it will be Mr.. Preston OF South
Carolina. AT least it was M. Powers's Intention
to send it to him last Spring, as Mr.. Preston had
given Mr.. Powers an order to send HIM any thng
he pleased. 1t will be the finest piece OF statuary
ever seen in this country. 1t IS made OF Sera-
bezza marble and without blemish IN the beau
tnul stone. Mr. Powers had thirty different mo-
dels to stand for the figure and it would not
suffer beside Canoya's finest Venus. He values
it at $4,000. We are sorry to see tina. s,, inc n
"Greek Captive" is to go to London niS 10
too bad Such gems from our artists sno'iu W
sent no where but here. He is finishing also
a ststue of Calhoun, to be completed IN about
;bree roonths. Mr.. Powers prefers that his works
should come here but he says that his art has cost
him labor and suffering, and as his success no
LONGER renders it necessary for him to sacrifice on
them, he will not cheaper his art by chcapenng
its products. Foreigners, especially Engllshmen,
will pay better than our own countrymen tor
works of genius. We have more and better
sculptors in Florence now than any other nation.
