The ScULProR, PowERs.--An extract from a
Florence letter published in the National Intslli-
gencer says:
As you requested, asked Mr.. Powers when he
thought of visiting his native land in accordance
with the wish expressed by Congress. ! do not
think he has yet been officially advised Of the APP
preparation by which he has been honored Through
the public papers and private correspondence only,
believe, has he yet received information Of the
wishes Of the National Legislature. However, |
hope Mr.. P. will not stand on ceremony, nor do
think he will He has been for some time prepar-
ing to "go home," and you may look out for him
some time next fall. He has almost finished his
great statue Of America, which will be immedi-
ately be shipped for New York but he win remain
here until be gets his statue of Webster, ordered
by the city of Boston, ready for the bronze foundry
When the work ia so far achieved he will set out
for America
We had already heard that the President had
neglected to notify Mr. Powers Of the appropria-
ton above alluded to. The reason for this neglect
is not stated. The public would like to be informed
by what pretence the President Of the United
States withholds from an american sculptor OF the
highest reputation, the money appropriated by the
American Congress to enable Kim to execute a
work Of art for the american Capitol.

The GERMANS IN NEW YoRK.-A letter to the
Baltimore American, from New York, dated on
Wednesday, has the following paragraph;
The German Saengerbunds were all out pic
mic, yesterday in the Elm Park, about ten miles
from the City Hail. 1t is supposed that there were
$4,000 people on the ground Such swarms Of
Germans, such pouring down Of lager beer, and
such jolly times were never seen before in this vi
cinity The tables ,groaned with cold boiled aud
roast meats sausages, rye bread cakes Of most un-
couth shapes and strange construction, and thever
table lager beer keg That keg was aprevailing. 1t
stood on end on every table. 1t was dashed into
the branches of the trees. 1t was tipped up at
the crotch Of every two uncovered roots There
were private kegs and public kegs-kegs out of
which ticket would buy drink Others, ont Of
which sixpence alone would suffice and others
whence no money would have tempted drop but
for friendships sake.
But the babies! Barnum's gathering was a
little tea-party in comparison. We should expect
American babies to die of by hundreds, IL they,
instead Of German infants, had been the subjects
of the treatment afforded.to babylon at Elm Park.
When they fell asleep, the mothers spread hand
kerchief on the wet ground and laid the little limo
cents down. When they woke, they nursed them,
and then laid them down again. How they en-
joyed the lager, deponent saith not

Of the 26th Of May, contains long account OF the
largest steamer ever built or projected. II is
being built on an island In the Thames near Green

new sort Of gasometer for supplying London with

wheels. Others again have the hrmest belief In is
being an iron incarnation Of Lord Dundonald's
mysterious plan for destroying Cronstsdt and Sc.

Now, II happens that none Of those opinions are
correct Not one of these guessers have ever
dreamed Of this object being the mid portion Of

two hundred and twenty feet in length and
that the Simla and Himalsya, at present the

building and fitting Of two clipper ships, the last
Of which was towed to sea on Friday last and, in
