We announced the other day the fact, that the
model Offered by Mr. Crawford for the Virginia
Monument 10 Washington had been selected by
the commissioners from among a crowd of rivals,
and the order given 70 the artist to put il into mar
BILE and bronze. We did not, however, describe the
model II was fashioned in clay here in Boston, last
autumn, and afterwards cast in plaster. II Was
shown to few friends Of the fine arts and appeared
to them to be strongly marked by originality and
beauty Of conception Those most familiar with
European cities acknowledge that its original was
not to be found in any monument there. The
truth is the artistic world teens 90 with equestrian
monuments that ii would, at first sight, seem diff
cult for sculptor TO hit upon method of pre-
senting great man on horseback. Mr.. Craw-
ford's model, however, seems to us original in
conception as it is graceful and beautiful in execu-
ton. The pediment Or base Of the whole is in the
form of star, each ray of which Is adorned by
statue One of these is an ideal impersonation Of
the State of vrginia, who, with torch in her hand
and broken crown at her feet, appears the
champion of freedom and Of progress. The other
statues will represent some ofthe distinguished
men of Virginia, rontcmporaneous with the great
chief himself.
From the centre rises an oblong pedestal, sur
mounted by an equestrian statue of Washington,
which, is to be of bronze Mr.. Crawford has not
modelled the Father of his Country either in the
yoluminous cloak which he never wore, or in that
classic but uncomfortable costume of nature, in
which 1t is still less probable that he exhibited
himself to the public gaze. He appears to us he
naturally would, drssed in his own regimentals,
with the sword and cooked hat historically appro-
pirate to him. LEGISLATURES in the model are neces-
sarily of very small dimensions, but this docs not
deprive them Of certain graceful and grand eff
fect--one of them especially, figure drapcd in
military mantle, the brows shaded by helmet, has
in II a world of tender and touching expression.
These statues are TO be modelled of size consid
erably beyond that of life They require and de-
serve to be seen in colossal proper tions. And when
this noble germ Of the sculptor's thought shall have
expanded like a flower to its gigantic fruition--
when bronze and marble shall have responded as
willing instruments to his creative touch then we
believe that Virginia may challenge the whole do
main Of modern art to produce monument which
shall surpass hi, in appropriateness, in beauty,
and in grandeur

CONDITION OF TURKEy.-Thc dispute between
Russia and Turkey, in reference to the Hungarian
refugees, is generally regarded settled; but
we do not think so. Tho policy of the autocrat
seems TO dictated by desire TO gain time.
Averse 10 war with England and France, he tenn
porizcd for the moment, well knowing that the en-
thusiasm of those nations in favor of Hungary would
soon grow cold, when he could dictate to Turkey
without fear of their interference. He was also
willing 10 embark in with the Sultan just az
winter opened. Hence his apparent retraction.
And yet, when his policy Is closely scrutinized,
il becomes evident that he has not, in reality,
yielded single point he first insisted II is
true that he has varied his claim to have the refu-
gees delivered up TO him for execution, but he has
gained what answered his purpose equally as well,
tho prescription of the leaders. After a calm re-
view Of the original quarrel, and the concessions
made since by each party, we cannot but arrive al
the conclusion that Russia has gained all she prac-
tically desired, and that Turkey, Notwithstanding
her bold front at first has yielded more than is
sstcnt with her dignity. We also perceive, in this
review, that the interest taken by England and
France in the quarrel, at FIRST has sensibly declined
and that there is every prospect Of Turkey being
left in the end TO settle the quarrel without assist
ance, and as she best can. We all know how that
will bc.--Phiid. Bulletin.
