to him, and which is best adapted to his
taste and genius.
In the opinion of amateurs this is Cano-
vas happiest effort.-So he has been
heard to declare himself; and the Pope
and Cardinal Gonsalyi have expressed
the same opinion. 1t is related Cf this ac-
complished artist that he expressed the
most heartfelt satisfaction at having had
an opportunity of executing a statue of
Washington; and he is said to have
wrought more upon it with his own hand
than he was ever known to do upon any
similar work, he generally reserving to
himself in such works only the finishing
stroke, or coup-de-grace. AS an exam
pie OF the estimation in which his statue
Of Washington was held in Rome, many
English and other travellers of taste and
fortune would have given four times the
contract price to have possessed it.
The likeness we understand was taken
from a portrait of the General in the
possession of the American Consul at
Leghorn, esteemed an excellent re-
semblance.

creasing band of war-worn veterans, in
their usual spirit of renewed friendship
and interesting recollections. They din
ed together at Concert-Hall, which is al
ways reserved for their accommodation,
told their old stories, sung their old songs,
and fought over, in review, their old bat
ties; and, as this sort of harmless fight
ing precludes the shedding of blood,
plentiful hbations of madeira and claret
were poured out in lieu of it.
The following historical items, in form

Among the many inventions of the
present day, we notice with pleasure a
machine exhibited in this town. a few
days since, by Messrs. Gregg & Hale, of
Londonderry, for threshing and cleaning
grdin, and which has given satisfaction
to the members of the Legislature and
other distinguished citizens who have
examined it. The machine is of ex-
tremely simple construction. II sepa-
rates the grain perfectly clean from the
straw with the most incredible dispatch.
1t is afforded at a moderate price and
the prevailing opinion respecting it is,
that 1t will eventually become exten-
slvely useful throughout the country,

STATUE OF WASHINGTON.

SIH1UE OF W.HSHL.NGTON.
We stated few days ago that the
statue of Washington, executed at Rome
by Canova, for the state of North-C Caro-
lima, was put on board the Columbus.
which ship is probably now on her pas
sage to the United States. Having prom
ised to give more particular notice of
that superb piece of sculpture, we now
proceed to the task.
1t is intended to represent the immor-
tai hero in the act of writing his farewell
address: he is seated in an ancient Ro-
man chair, his right leg drawn up as in
the usual sitting posture, the left careless
ly extended along. In the right hand he
holds a pen, and in the left scroll-at
his feet baton of a feld-marshal, and a
sword, ofthe shape of the old Roman fall
chion, turned at the point. He is clad in
the Roman costume, the head and neck
bare, close vest and braccae, with a
girdle round the waist, upon which is
displayed Medusa's snaky head, and 9th
er emblems of Roman taste. The toga,
or cloak, is drawn close around the
neck, and descends in luxuriant folds to
the floor The legs are bare to the
knee, and the feet covered with SAN
dals.
The statue is of white marble of the
finest kind. 1t rests upon pedestal of
the same kind of marble, upon the sides
OF which are represented in emblemati-
cal figures of the richest workmanship.
the four principal events of Washington's
life: his taking the command of the A.
merican armies-capture of the British
army at York-Town-resigning all his
publick trusts, and lastly, his retiring to
private lite in the tranquil occupation of
farmer.
1t is said the artist has exercised his
own taste entirely in the position and
costume OF the statue. ltwas represent
ed to him that it was intended to be plac-
ed in the Hall of the Legislature of NJ.
CaT ollna, the dimensions of which were
sent to him and it was stated to have
been wished that the likeness should be
taken at full length, as in the act of de-
livering an address. But the proportions
OF the monument with the apartment it
was to occupy a place in, were of prima-
ry Importance to just exhibition of it,
and he found that they could not be pre-
served in any other way than by reduc-
ing the statue to sitting posture. e.-With
regard to the dress, il is said he could not
hazard his reputation by attempting any
other than that which was most familiar
