Tue Ivory CHRIST. We are pleased TO
learn. that this beautiful and extraordinary
work of art will be exhibited in Baltimore du-
ring the ensuing week. otis" (saYs the Anne
rican Review, } ga Christ on the Cross, wrought
out of single piece Of ivory by Genocse
msnk .nand was brought to the United States
by C. Edwards Lester, Esq, United States
Consul at Genoa. From the various notices
which have been published Of this statue,
il must be most interesting object OF irsPec-
ton, and we are therefore gTatitied that 1t is
about to be exhibited in our city. The fhIia-
delphla Saturday Evening Post remarks oil TINS
statue at has been on exhibition in New
York, and we had read such extravagant plal-
SEES of it that we went, expecting to be disaPPoih'
ed. But this ivory Christ comes up, nay! even
surpasses all we have heard of it. The express
sion in the face of the Saviour is beyond dc
scription: the spectator sees there strong agony
on the brow, but calm and sweet resignation
around the mouth, a contrast never before so
finely conceived or executed. The statue was
cut out of solid ivory by,a monk! AS won
der of art, even apart from the deep interest oil
the subject, it is worthy visit" The present
season is peculiarly suited to the inspection o
work of art, which is so we'll calculated &c
impress upon the minds of all christians al
