PRINCE ESTERHAZI'S STUD.-Our Dover Cor-

which we understand have been selected ftom the
best breed of the English race-horse, ware declared
by the oldest and best judges, to infinitely surpa
any former stud shipped from the port of Dover.

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.)
