We find in the NeS York Evening Post the
hlIoalng notice Of the death of CAusicI, the
SCULPTOR. There is al error in 1t with regard to
the Washington MUnumen, in Baltimore, which
vas designed By Mr. Robert P. Mills, an archi-
trct Of well known abilities, now residing in Bal
Gnure. The statue, only, was the work of eau
sicj:--
taprrU,py. 1t is with sincere regret that we
record the death of ENRIco CAusIcI, late OF this
tba pf gt
l.s 10 Havana, of the Asiatic Cholera, alter an
illness OF only fifteen minutes.
In the death of this man the world has lost the
la,.re AID most successful pupil OF the renown-
ed Cauoya and the United States has been de-
pryed of man who, by his genius, has done
more towards the perpetuauon OF some OF the IN
tlresring features Of the history OF our country

splendid monument of Washington at Baltimore,
and the traces of his mastery mind aud OF MS
untivaIIed chisel are to be found IN his recent
bust of lie Witt Clinton, in the City Hail OF New
YoJk. In an agony of disappointed hopes and
frustrated success, he left cur shores Tor luna
but not before he had also executed an 'nimit
able model Of the projected equestrian statue OF
Washington, intended for our Park; and we tear
the loss is to great degree irreparable. We
learn that it was pretty we'll understood that he
vas to be the artist to execute this noble work;
and the only consolation iett is, that his prepared
model was presented to Henry NJ. Western,
Esq. Of this city, previous to his departure. VINO
We dOabt not will willingly afford its use to the
Washington Monument Committee.
The Intention of Causici was to return amongst
US to perfect as well this great work, as also the
unfinished trophies Of the Monument at baiu'
more.
But. alas! he has fallen victim to this dire
pesnence. and. while we commiserate his tate,
nsio pay to his memory this parting token OF
admiration and applause.
