;.Y. Florence continues to be one of the 

 chief seats of sculpture in Europe, and among 

 wh'> practice tho art there, an honorable 

 is held by citizens of America. Powers, 

 . Jackson, Meade, and Henry, are the 

 a of them, and the first named has, 

 within the past year, added to his reputation by 

 a statue of "Eve after the Fall," which is said 

 to ho quite equal to his famous " Greek Slave." 

 The recent works of Jackson and Meade are 

 mentioned elsewhere in this article. The French 

 sculptor, Dupre, also residing in Florence, has 

 produced a mortuary monument of the singer, 

 '.mi, which is to be placed in the Campo 

 Santo, at Pisa, and two statues of Bacchus, 

 emblematic of abundant and scanty grape har- 

 : and Fuller, an English artist, a group 

 from liulwor's "Last Days of Pompeii," and 

 one entitled " Tho Rape of Europa." The " Da- 

 vid" of Michael Angelo has recently been sue- 

 illy cast in bronze in Florence. The Ital- 

 ian Government has, during the year, thrown 

 open to the public a portion of the covered 

 passage connecting the Pitti Palace with tho 

 Palazzo Vecchio. Tho greater part of it is 

 hun_' with pictures, many hundred in number, 

 which, from want of space, have never before 

 exhibited. They comprise portraits of the 

 Medici and other Florentine and Italian nota- 

 bilities, and a long and extremely curious series 

 of historical works, {tainted of a uniform umber 

 color; and represent, for tho most part, various 

 scenes of tho great Florence fcstiutics, which 

 took place during many consecutive years, w hen 

 the Medici were omnipotent in the famous Tus- 

 can city. Home is scarcely less noted than Flor- 

 ence as a residence of sculptors, among whom are 

 many American, male and female. In the for- 

 mer class may bo mentioned Story, Rogers, and 

 Mozier ; in the latter. Miss Ilosmer, Miss Steb- 

 bins. ' man, Miss Foley, and Miss Ed- 



monia Lewis. Miss Foley has recently been 



engaged upon medallion heads of distinguished 

 an authors, and Miss Freeman on sub- 

 jects taken from Longfellow's poems. Of the 

 i.ii. r productions of Miss Ilosmer and Hue 

 Lewis, we have spoken elsewhere. J'irtorial 

 art ha- also been represented in Rome by Terry, 

 'lilt.. n, Hopes, Miss Church, and the Misses 

 "Williams, all Americans. In tho .summer, a 

 collection of objects of fictile art was exhibited 

 at tho museum of St. John Lateran, singularly 

 at variance with the contents of that building. 

 It comprised terra-cotta busts, statuettes and 

 tableaux in alto-relievo, illustrating the history, 

 manners, and customs of the North American 

 Indians, and was said to be executed with great 

 spirit and truthfulness. Excavations continued 

 to be made in the neighborhood of Rome. 

 Among the latest discoveries of antique art was 

 a draped statue of great merit, found near Santa 

 Maria Nuova, on the Appian Way. 



FITZPATRICK, Right Rev. Joiix BERNARD, 

 Roman Catholic Bishop of Boston, born in that 

 city, November, 1812, died there February 12, 

 1866. His early instruction was received in 

 tho public schools of Boston, on leaving which 

 he was sent to a college in Montreal, where he 

 remained eight years. From thence he repaired 

 to the Sulpician College, in Paris, where he 

 pursued his studies for three years, when he 

 was ordained a priest, and returned to Boston 

 in 1840. Soon after his return he was appointed 

 pastor of St. John's Church, in East Cambridge, 

 Mass., but remained a short time, being chosen 

 coadjutor to Bishop Fenwick of Boston, and 

 was consecrated March 24, 1844. Two years 

 later, by the death of the venerable Bishop 

 Fenwick, he became bishop of that diocese, en- 

 tering upon the duties of his office with the 

 zeal and application which had characterized 

 his previous career. In 1854 he visited Europe 

 upon business connected with his church, and 

 again in 1862, for the restoration of his health. 

 Returning to his field of labor, with an in- 

 crease of strength, he resumed his duties with 

 his usual devotion, which soon dissipated the 

 physical benefit ho had received, and after lin- 

 gering for months in a state of severe bodily 

 .suil'cring, he sank under his fatal malady. He 

 had attained a high rank in scholarship, and was 

 greatly respected by liberal men of all denomi- 

 nations. Bishop Fitzpatrick was a member of 

 the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, 

 and received tho honorary degree of Doctor of 

 Divinity from Harvard College in 1861. 



FLORIDA. Tho transfer of the civil au- 

 thority, held by the Provisional Governor of 

 Florida, appointed by President Johnson, to 

 the Governor elected by the people, was made 

 on January 17, 1866. The Legislature of the 

 State was at the time in session, and General 

 "\Valker nominated immediately for chief justice 

 of the Supreme Court C. H. Dupont, and for 

 associated justices A. E. Maxwell and J. M. 

 Baker. These nominations were confirmed, 

 without a reference, by the Legislature. The
