ITO statue OftWat.e ,ddOres iftion;Xlettigned.fbi the tomb of by Ilailly, and cast in brenze at the - estah. lishment of Mr. Robert Wood, is, at...last finished and temporarily, deposited in the. Academy. As 'a' large bronze of a htunan, 11 1 ? 1 .11fcti 911 .ce: 4. 8i P94 - 1 - Pqt LP; an American city, it merits particular attention., In this local coincidence of authoiShip and exe cution it is indeed' unitiao ill the edtiiitry, .we except one Or two .dases",Where,an', artist has himself turned founder, andput up a tem porary furnace on the spot - where his. • model was executed. The :example of this statue as marking : the inaugnration f of . an "industry r !=as:i'caSe *here" the teultitcit re mains on the spot, ready to create more models especially_adapted for: metal, and : where the founder remains on the spot permanently ready for his and other artists' work,—the ex ample iH one of a combination new tO.A.Aerica, and resembling . the 'industrial ciperatitinii of Parts or Munich. The instance, we are happy to say, is a fortunate one. In the itrst place, the statue,•conceived with a special eye to , ,the capacities of a nietallid medium, is fared' ele gance, and has "details here and-there of .a graceful slenderness that would be, for, marble; 'a f fragile. In the second place, the ability of Mr. Wood as a founder of bronze, owing to his good for tune in securing the most skilful artists (of whom more anon) is proved and illustrated by a specimen of casting that is absolutely unim peachable in sharpness, solidity andfliigh finish. Our city may fairly congratulate herself in numbering among her inhabitants a sculptor so respectable, awl so cleverly flexible in his in ventions; together with skilled artisans so faultless as those engaged by Mr. Wood. THE DESIGN The statue is of heroic size, that is,somewhat larger than nature. - The subject is represented sitting in a chair of elassic type,'mith the attli -bntes of painting, music and literature, repre senting the predilections of his life. While the .surrolindings.,—the lyre, the laurel, the scroll, .the fayteuil,—are tints classical in style, they are so modestly So that they do notseem to' in terfere with the severe realism of the figure itself, which is dressed in modern clothes, and holds a palette and brushes sceminglymoulded from actual specimens. The attitude. is easy 'and spirited: The noble carriage of the head, apparently quickly lifted_ to contemplate an artistic conception, is quite remar kable. The palette-hand is partly sup portedv-on ..Ititec , •:"arakfor the .j..pericil littO Menientaribl Oikbos,gioP the eliair, as if to a ti th ant drrer . erin : , ,A;Th djriven-" tiou: The deslin - of the (Alkali- seems -.tot us happy; it is a study-chair, and defines the loca tion of the subject as in -doors; if it were other wise, if a rustic support had been selected as more artistie, the future position of the figure,' •-a'itian"of bronze apparently painting among the foliage of Laurel Hill—would convey a striking suggestion of landscape art. As it is, the calm, uncovered head, the studio-costume, and the accessoriQs, seem to create around the figure .the serenity and seclusion of a temple. It is an Academician that is represented, in stalled in the fauteuil. The likeness is a little idealized, but is strik ing enough; from the back view it is startlingly real. The statue is adapted for examination all round, and the pose seen from behind is full of meaning and character. The air is no ble, distinguished and intellectual. -:. THE CASTING IN BRONZE We were present, a few weeks ago, at the founding of this important work orart, and thought the process so interesting that we tin agine a short account will be welcome to our readers. That part 'of the task which makes the most show—the infernal white-hot cauldron, the jet, the hissing sparks, and the melodrama of moud--this division of the job is treated with great coolness by 'the artistic ope rator. The true'science is evoked in prepar ing the mould, and channelingit with vents to relieve the air. Two young French artists, from Lille, two brothers, accomplished in the sister arts of „casting and chasing, have been for some time in the ateliers of Mr. Wood. They haVe been triumphaatly successful in all the works they haVe undertaken. Their merit has attracted :the:'SenlPtors of other cities, and those of New York who have put out An erienn bronzes has o' ,ConStantlY applied, 'and' will henceforth apply; - the Messrs.

The Indian Hunter, by Ward, and the Napoleon, by Launt Thomp son, which were the only examples of our fine, arts to which Europeans paid any attention at the Paris Exposition, were cast and finished in,l'hiladelphiaby the Messrs. Bureau. The work of casting a bronze, as we under stand and have seen it, is about as followir The artist furnishing his design in plaster, the bronze-founder divides it into well-considered fragments, to he moulded separately in the Metal; the attachments are subsequently- made by means of screws, the heads of which cannot be detected by the closest 'scrutiny after' the uhasing, and of such strength that when the statue decays the joints must go laSt. .

The bright mass poured into the mould With a great roaring sound. The main vents; .:ar ranged on either side the figure, and cormnu ideating with the system of tubas; beneath, gave issue to two active jets of flame, due to the combustion of certain tallows and gluey substances used for cement, which rose, to a, considerable height, carried briskly upward by the displaced air. . "it is a success," Said M.' Achille Eureau,", I know it by the way the fire sings." The truth of. the prophecy was manifest next day, and the faultlass statue had only to be reunited, then chased by the artistic hands of 4. Edouard 'Bureau, and tinted by' the .ap plication of acids—a separate profession,to become the finished and exquisite work of art it now appears. - The Royal London Yacht Club itaes.-Ittg and Burden of the Vessels—The Start, the Coarse, Sailing and Time—The Sphinx the Whiner. - [By the Atlantic Cable.] LONDON May 25,1131 A—The annual match race ol the'.Royal London Yacht Club, which is open, by rule of the members, - to vessels of every class of rig, was contested on the 21st instant,,attracting much interest among our yachtmen and the lovers of aquatic sports and outdoor recreation generally. After the morning preliminaries had been arranged and the contestants brought into line it was found that the starters were: The Julia, yawl, of the hundred and nine tons burden; the Cambria, schooner of one hundred and eighty six tons, with the Fiona, Volante, Muriel and Sphinx, cutters, ranging from thirty-nine to seventy respectively. The course was from Erith to and.around the Nore lightship and return to the point of start, in after rounding. At the moment of starting the yachts were handled. thus: The Cambria set her balloon jibs and balloon topsails;the Sphinx her balloon foresail, with a large working topsail, the others using their working jibs., canvas of the Cambria wits worked hauling smartly, yet she was slow in coming round. When olf Gravesend Reach the Muriel had the lead, being followed by the Sphinx and Volante, with the Cambria last. At the Lower Hope the Sphinx and Volante had the lead, running in close company. The Muriel had fallen off in consequence of having experienced a head wind, and the Cambria was out of the race. The yachts rounded the flagship with the Fiona first and the Cambria last. On the return, the Volante maintained the lead for sonic time, the SPhink thawing gradu ally to the front. The vessels reached the starting point in the following time and order, viz.: Tile Volante in seven hours and fifty minutes, and the Sphinx, in seven hours and forty-eight minutes; the Sphinx of forty-eight tons, taking the first prize,and‘ the Volante, fifty-nine tons, the second. The Sphinx has thus been victorious on three occasions during the season—in the contests of the Royall,ondou Yacht Club, the new Thames Yaehtelub andthe Royal Thames Yacht Club. She is, therefore, considered a dangerous antagonist in any condition. of weather.

Why in the' world ShoUld they, when their visitors are increasing their power of carrying on the contest? • IMPORTANT REFORMS IN TURKEY. • One of- the most important reforms an nounced by the Turkish Goverrument is the establishment of a civil code, which will be binding on all the subjects of the Sultan, with out distinction of creed. A legislative .com mission is to be appointed for this purpose under the direction of Ali Pasha. This. com mission will be instructed to commence its labors, by a careful examination of all the pre cepts of the Koran relating to ,the nation of society, with the ,object of using them' as a basis for the new code. The. Koran will then no. longer, as hitherto,. 'the — 'official teZt:book. for courts of justice, but • only be 'recognized as an authority in questions of dogma and religi- - ouS' practice: This reform will doubtless hie. violently opposed by. the clergy and the Turks of the old school, but has been approved by the Sultan-and his ,Ministers ! and steps are already being taken :for. introducing it.: Another ques tion which is now, under the consideration of. the.C.Mintil.Of Stafels'apidposed alteratiOn in the mode of. collecting the taxes. At present all ,taxes:: In. the empire are' farmed out to speculators, who pay ,fixed sums .to ...the .Gov ernment, which in certain provinces amount to barely one-half of the contributions imposed on the inhabitants. The Government will in future receive the taxes through' its own officials, as in other European countries. According to accounts from . -St. Petersburg, the continued. indisposition of the Emperor Alexander is beginning to cause uneasiness to his medical men. His Majesty, it, has been stated, was a few weeks back crossing a, bridge in an, open carriage with his eldast son, when the horses took fright, and dashing across the footpath, were only prevented by the parapet from falhng with the vehicle into the river. The shock was, - however, so violent, that fears were entertained.that the Emperor might have suf fered some internal injury, and since the acci dent he has been unwell. On Easter Sunday the usual ceremony of congratulations after, midnight mass had to be omitted. His Majesty was indeed, present at the funeral services of the Greek Minister, Count de Metaxas, and of Admiral I‘lensehikof4hut on his return to the Winter Palace, was obliged to go to bed. The robust constitution of Alexander 11., however, loads to the hope that by-proper attention his indisposition may not lead to any serious results. The belief is that the Czar will try a cure at one, of the German watering-places. - : More About the Landing efTilibusters.- Their Surprise by theliktaniards-:-Final Rally and 'Victory—The Steamer Peril' Gone to Jamaica—Decree Ordering' the Seizure of Moraes: [By the Cuba Cable.

The New Orleans Republican of Saturday "The crevasse near Gkand Joyce, in roince Coupeeparish,is increasing at the rate of forty feet in twenty-four hours, and is now not less than six hundred feet - wide.. Mr. Van Pelt, the engineer sent up to inspect it, reports it as" being a miniature Niagara, , and that it is im possible-to--elese-it, but thinks-the- new work put up this season can be saved by construct ang breakwaters' to divert the current passing through the opening, for the purpose of relieving the rear of the new work' Iroin washing, and by piling, to.prevent the Caving of the old levee. The lowerend of the. ereVaBBe is perhaps one thousand feet above the junction of the •new and old levees, but should a few hundred feet more of the levee cave, the current will become stronger and the rear of the new levee in greater 'danger.

DEFALCATION IN NEW YORK'. • • Tire, Atlantic National Bank of Brooklyn a'lleavy Loser by Its Late President. . The Herald of this morning says: No small consternation was occasioned among the de positors of the Atlantic National Bank- of Brooklyn, to whom it was whispered for the first time on Monday that the Into President of the institution, Mr. William (J._ Rushmore, who was killed by-the recent accident on :the Long Island Railroad, was discovered to have been de fibient in his, accounts with the bank to the amount of nearly 6'250,000. A slight rush on the bank was naturally the result of the report among the uneasy depositors,who bad. heretofore re-posed - the utmost confidence therein. The uneasiness thus caused has now • ceased, however, in consequence of the action of the directors, who met yes :terday morning, and, after fully' considering the affairs of the bank, drew up an agreement between them, pledg ing themselves to carry it through the crisis.' and to con tinue the.business. It, appears that n few days after the fitheral of Mr. Rusbniore, who was regardisl heretofore as one of the most strictly honorable and upright men itt the community, and at whose obsequies the most celebra• ted divines •of the city were proud • to express their opinion of his worth, it was discovered by Mr. George S. Puffer the acting president of the batik, that discrepan cies existed in the accounts,.and that • there -wits-a. defi ciency in the securities of trom 6100,000 to 6250,000. Up to the time of this startling discovery it was be lieved by the directors that the bank was in a highly prosperous condition: that the capital, amounting to half a Million of dollars, was entirely - secure, and that . there was a suuplus of 670,000 on hand, hesides 635,000 of earnetimeney for the payment of the semi-annual divi dend. Since then the authorities have- been sifting the matter in secret, jealously guarding its privacy, until it finally leaked out as above stated. It is 40.1 d that the deficit proceeds tram advances made to a contractor, on securities, whose account is largely overdrawn; and also from the purchase of real estate by the late Mr. Rushmore in his own name. The deeds fur the purchasO of this property were,' however, put away in the vaults of the bank, and were marked, "To secure the bank." • The'offieers , of the. bank•aro Peter C: Cornell, William Bauder, Jr., Brewster Valentine, John •Frencli, John A.
