PRINCE ESTERHAZI'S STUD.-Our Dover Cor respondent informs me, that four stallions and Piz hunters were embarked there on Sunday last, for Ostend, on their way to Vienna. The beauty and elegance of these animals attracted an immense crowd of spectators.

The friends of the Fine Arts and of national glory will learn with pleasure that a chef &caret of French sculpture, The Head of the Saviour, by FRANCIS PUGLT, has been discovered at Marseilles. The possessor of this treasure imagined he had pur chased only an ordinary marble, and had given it to a sculptor to clean it. This man having nu higher idea of the value of that which had been intrusted to him, suffered it to remain disregarded in the dust of his work-shop, when a Roman Sculptor having by chance examined it, suddenly exclaimed with enthusiasm. " This is the Head of the Saviour discovered—it was the immortal Paget that executed it !" So saying, he fell in an ecstasy, and remain ed during more than 40 minutes petrified with ad miration. It was at the age of 30 years that PUGET commenced this chef d'ativre, the most beautiful of his works. and to it he devoted teu years of labour.—( Pail! Paper.)
