AMERICAN SrArUARY.-The brief descriptions
which have been given Of the remarkable statue of
Victoria by young Stout, are beginning to attract the
notice of the American public This is right-for
we believe it only requires moderate effort, both to
fetch out the natural taste, and reward the original
genius Of the nation The following we copy from
the philadelphia National Gazette one of the
few papers in Philadelphia that indulges in the

The circumstances related Of the boldness and
thusiasm Of the young sculptor of Cincinnati, are
only faint counterpart Of the remarkable but
brief career Of Stout. We may one of these days
