The Fine Arts.

We are informed that DR.. Stone, an artist and
scholar, who is sojourning at the National Hotel,
in this city, proposes a monument to Smithson,
to be erected either under the roof or in the
grounds of the Institution that his plans and
and art who have examined them; and that his
monument is to be elaborate, national and costly,
and win represent Young Freedom, emblematic
Of America, in the progress Of development to
maturity
We think the edifce now standing, as long as
1t stands viii serve as monument to Mr.. Smith
son. 1t is certainly costly enough, if that be
any recommendation. To our taste it is very
beautiful. In fact everything has been sacrificed
in its construction to architectural beauty. In
this respect there is much to regret--so much
that we had better not. undertake to pile on any
thing more Of the same sort.
The gentlemen connected with the Institution
are able and most worthy, and we are gratifed
at having them amongst u.s. But the whole con-
Germ, taking it "by and large" costs more than
it comes to-
The experience of the United States rather
tends to demonstration of the assumption that
plain republicans are but sorry custodians to
whom to intrpst important requests; and we
much fear that rich old gentlemen, of both our
own and foreign countries, will become chary in
their requests to US. If the spiritual rappers
should bring about tete-a-tete between our old
benefactors, Smithson and Grard, we should like
very much to be present to hear their comments
on what has been done in disobedience to their
commands

The vast and costly establishment at Philadel-
phia is ample for all the uses Of our government,
and yet, to crafty the cupidity of New York, the
United States government is called upon to
expend an immense amount of the treasures of
the people in that city. The thing is unnecessary
and the suggestion preposterous. We hope the
people Of the country will look at this subject in
its right light, and prevent the contemplated
waste. If it be permitted, the people of that
great mart of commerce and money jobbing will
but renew their appeals to Congress, and de-
mand the location in their city of every Office and
agency of the government that avarice can in
duce them to desire. They have abundance Of
material aid" always ready to contribute to
any scheme of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT As yet, we be-
ieve, such means cannot be applied in direct
manner to any member of Congress; but of in
direct influences, present and prospective, we

that the California mail contracts be given to that
city, to bring all the gold to the doors of the
present mint. This would prove economical, and
would be better than to erect a new mint; but
the Providence (R. ~ journal" thinks that
the cost of sending gold between New York and
Philadelphia. might very properly be borne by
the government; and adds: This would be
infinitely more economical than to erect new
mint IF the mint were to be established anew,
New York should be the place for it, but there
does not seem to be sufficient reason for chang
ing it, and branch mint would be wasteful
expenditure" 1t would be well for our legisla-
tors to hearken to such counsels as this in time.
