[com:WWAD vane- s utile LAST.] Ahem. eighteen months before the loci Jeno related in the preceding pager, Wal stein arrived in Florence, after a residence of t.`.rse years at Roue and Bo:ogna, when he bad successfully pursued the noble art to which jimilad devoted bimeelt from boyhood web Wiese and uoceasiug ardour.1. Florence, the Feinted designs d vigorous e xecuuoe of this highly-gt(ted youth at- tracted the mice, and, eventually., the per. mesal friendship and munificent patronage of Earl of C., as English peer of princely fortune, and with a spirit worthy of his wealth. During occasional and protracted res.Jeocs at Florence, this uublenisa be casae the idol of the aumerious artiste at- tracted by the fine paintings which adorn the "City of Flower*." Their attach ment to bin was pure and disinterested, t ad excited leu by tits liberal remtuneratioe, than by bas passionate devotion to the arts, and his considerate sympathy w,ih that moiled ,rn4beity of temperament peculiar to ail artists. In. the prime of life, and dis- trugutel.eJ by a figure of comtr?a.Jing height, a prepossessing physiognomy, and a deportment unaffected and manly, ale Earl needed not the accrJent, of rank and A momentary blush darkened the check rind brow of the young arl,et, and the pit Ir of conrcieus purity de hes in his tine eye*, as be Molly answered, •'Never! 1Yht should 1 corrupt a young and ardent imagi- nation, by copying the naked form uf s lcor ing caullezan 1 11 is out essential to roc cess in the nobler departments of flue art.

" Moat virtuous of all modern Quixote.," exclaimed the lees romantic and tsughing Earl, "1 admire your heroism; but you must exeu..o me if 1 assert that you will oevcr eucceed as an bt.torical painter until you step down from your sults. A fine woman se Ihu dem sod masterpiece ut Na - lure; and believe me, Walrtelo, 11 is •dclu- stnti or a dream to expect that copying from statues and paintings gal enable you to -five life and character to the finest object M ercation;--u would be far ewer for a poet to )ascribe the passim] of lore without asy experience of it." The young artist stood relent and dueoncerted, and the earl continued.

Cecilia G., the wwt Impassioned and .stellectual singer in Italy; and, in personal and mental fascination, the Aepasia uf-her time. From ber lather, an eminent physician in Bolog- na, rhe had derived a comprebennve and masculine education: and 11'0111 a Roman mother, the majestic proportions, the classic profile, and the Irnpo Ing gesture, which drstingash the daughters of the 'EternalCity. While yet a child, ebe had develop- ed a striking taste and talent for music; and under judicious discipline, her race Matured with her growth into a power and pathos which thrilled every listener. Her upper tones were defective, but the middle end lower notes which composed her natu- ral voice, were unparalleled 10 depth and richueor; and her exquisite nate taught her to shun ail needless decoration, and to rely solely upon the effect of those firol,• em- phatic, and lung -drawn notes, which the Italians call " Portrnento di voce." The tender connexion which existed be- tween the English nobleman and the high- Iy-gated Cecilia had commenced some years before in Naples, and was no secret to I'lorence. A conviction of the general worthlcssnese of Italian Sarabande, and a due eeune ref her own merits, had early es• tablished in her mind a determination never to reltoquish her free-agecicy; and she had reached the 'nature age of live -and -twenty without experiencing a sentiment more Im- passioned than. frieodehip, when Lord C., enthralled by the drama;ic pathos of her performance in senuue operate ought her acquaintance. The istu,uable truth and force of her singing, and the classic elegance uf her deportment, had led him to expect an I • accomphsbed"and higb•mhndcd female; but be discovered to her what he had never yet seen combined in woman; a ripened and well -regulated uuder.tanding; exquisite dms- ocriminatwn; a command .1 aacaeDt and modern lat.guages; a boundless i.pulence of thought, diction, and imagery; and, to crown all, a cuuntenance beaming with that tr.neparence of soul which no boarity can equal, and a deportment, dignified, graceful, and full of womanly feeling and fascination. The eternal coldness and reserve of Lord , C., and the sumewhat rigid discipline he had hitherto exercised over he leering., melted instantaneously before this constcl- Litton 01 attractions. Ili. wonted taatur-' any give way to an inipaestoned and over - Rowing eloquence; his visit insenetbly ex- tended to several hour.•, and he left this 1iaTni ivies, most deeply entangled in her spells than he was conaciun, of at the mu- i sweet. The following and each 'succeeding day brought a repetition of his visits; con- genial tastes and pursuits rapidly matured their mutual prepossession into a warmer feeling; and the beautiful Cecilia, disdatntng ! marriage, Sed cherishing some romantic visions of the golden days of Pericles and Aspasts, consented to emoelhsh the home, and the existence of the enamoured earl: spurning, however, all pecuniary arrange• meets, and conditioning only that their (1on- oexroo should be dissoluble at the pleasure of either party. A professional engagement brought the Signora some years afterwards to Florence,' where she was joined by the earl on his re- turn from a stay of three months in Eng- land. About MO period he became ac- quainted with 1Valstetn, end found so mach to admin in the man as well as in the artist, that he gave the young painter a general invitation to his table, and purchas- ed his works with a liberality which en- abled Walstetn to purees his professional studies with increased facility and success. 'I ha yearng artist was painting one reedit- ing • Psyche, gaping on the sleeping God 01 Love, enc was au deeply absorbed in bas work, that he observed out the entrance of Lord C., who approached the easel, and gaped upon the picture for some time in stleace. " W,letein," said he at length, " that design is poetical and spirited, but tbearnation untamed' your Psychs are in- tolerably cold and lifeless. How is it that you, who succeeded all other subjeets, should fail so totally in pourtraynng the charms of woman 1 You have surely drawn the female figure fro n plaster and marble only. Tell me, honestly, did you sever study professionally the unveiled pro- portions of a beautiful womaw 1" woo utterly fail in the attempt." Thu remark roused all the professional pride of Walitein, who replied, with some tepettly, "My attempt would probably cen- time your lordship of the col,trary." a The Velma should be the size of life," coftinued Lord C., coolly,'" and the finest woman its Italy should be your model.— list even with such a motel before you, yen could not succeed." " 11 hat mean you, my lord 7" exclaimed Walsteia. " You allow me talent; you lel me that the marblo culdeees of .my carne. iron tints would disappear were 1 to paint from living models; yuu offer me the finest woman in Italy its a model, ad•you main- tain that nevertheless 1 could not succeed!" "Most certainly, I du," replied the Earl l witb.a sarcastic smile. "Titian, 1taffaeller and all the best painters of female beauty, hail notoriously in their wives or mistresses 116ne livmg models to draw from. , Their passions were tranquillized by indulgence, and they could, gaze upon the charms of woman with the steady eye and quiet pulse esacntial to an artist. But bow ars yew, in the glowing spring of Isle, to maintain the rcgmsite self-possession, when exposed for the Sret, tette, to the fol! blaze of faked beauty 1 Your quickened pulses will en - pair your vision, and paralyse your pencil.

Why not study nature in the " Halls of Anacreon?" 11 hat, my lord !" exclaimed the artist, "do you counsel me, a betrothed rnan, and pledge.( by a tie sacrad as marriage htself, I to frequent that temple otimpurity 1" "`Jay rather," replied the Lori, "that no- l rivalled dptheon of grace and beauty, supportedwhich, is Mod not abused, *dl du more fur the arts than all the picture and statue galleries is Europe.

I will afford you an opportunity to convince ms that 1 have undorated your eel( -command. Como to me ao hour before sunset this evening. i Drawing materials i have to abundance, and the model shall be in attendance." At the appointed hour the young artist arrived at the hotel of Lord C., whom he found with • bottle of Cyprus wine before hien. The Earl filled the glasses, challeng- ed Walrtnn to drink, and conversed for some ,.mutes upon general topics. At length he rose, and sate, •' 1Valstein 1 there is 'butt you a lofty and chivalrous sense of honour. whieh j•ratiti-r• the singular confi• deuce 1 am about to repose in you.

The punter gave the required pledge, sot without Borne feeling of wousJed pride, Sad Lord C. tutted rho apartment to make some preparatory arrangemeots,— Walstbin emptied the goblet before him, and, with a rising pulse. paced uy and down the room until the earl returned, and signed io bun to follow.

Her only garb was as staple ahead of dark blue silk, folded around her majestic person, whicl: it cop• cealcd from below the bosom to the lower part of the leg, where it betrayed to view the finely moulded feet and ankles. Lord C. now entered her apartment, placed himself before an easel, and began to "'ketch the brilhaut form of his lovely model. " 1 'hen, my Cecilia," said he, 'well you gratify my bong and ardent wish to behold that incompaeable figure in the attitude ul the Medtcean Venus ?" " Your mania fur the arts put my affec- tion for you to a severe test," replied the bluebiog and reluctant Signora.

"Trust me, Wal - stein," raid the sculptor, leading him with 'rapid rtep •lung the passage, " you will -leave this house a happier a.ao a better artist than you eauie into it; and I pledge myself," he continued, to the still unsea- ling youth, "that yuu shall leave it„ when yuu like" I Controlled by the vehemence of Drancag- lio, the yielding painter suffered himself to I be conducted to the foot of a narrow stair- case, which brought them to the ground floor of • largo and elegant mansion. As- cending a spacious Right of marble stain, adorned with niches •nil matures, they en- tered ao apartment of moderate dimension- , nuns, and coated with red silk drapery, ex- ' tending en rich folds. from the they reeling ! to the door. Au uninenee chandelier, the numerous lumps of which were shaded with ground glass, threw a flood of light over tht• tent -like apartment, in which Wal - stein found some opulent patrons of fine art, and all the painters and sculptors of Florence, assembled in animated converse. The sound of a bell was beard, and imine suety a dead silence reigned throughout the assemblage. Again the bell sounded( the token drapery, which had apparently formed -010 limns of the room, was gathered to the cieling with magical celerity, and the astonished 1Velstees found himself ie e magnificent rotunda, and surrounded by a spectacle of classic and unparalleled beauty. On appropriate pedestals In the successive niches of this pantheon of fine •rt, stood living and perfect models of the finest fe- male groups, •nd statues of ancient and modern date, while the rich amber light which streamed down upon them from the shaded lamps invested every figure with the tint of marble, and completed the illusion. The celebrated Venus Cailipyga, of the Faroese gallery at Naples, was personified by a tall and magnificent Roman, who fully equalled her marble prototype in the bril- liant and vuluptuou■ plenitude of ber charms. The Medtcean Venus; the two kneeling goddesses of the Vatican; the French Venus of Arles; the lofty Diany and fawn of the Louvre gallery; and the Graces, holding each a golden apple, and grouped after a picture of Raffaelle in the .iurghur collection, were represented with beautiful accursoy. On the opposite side of the rotunda stood the well -chiselled. but meagre,ball dressed,• Std affected groups anaemia's,' of Canova. Has Venue, two Belldrtne, his Liebe, and Graces, were per- sonified by more youthful females,. whose Stender limbs and undeveloped fermi con- trasted dleadvantageou•Iy with the natural case and dignity, the rounded, full, and per- fect symmetry of the antique. The drape - nee were silk of the palest yellow, which gave relief, contrast, and brilliancy to the unveiled cha:,n, of the anteing models, who were proteetod from any unhallowed ap- proach by a silken cord, wlech encircled the rotunda at a dletence or several feet before tee niches. Opposito to each group and statue stood a paantet • camel and canvass, all of which were instantly occupied by as many youthful anuses, woo began to sketch in studious and unbroken silence, while the tsculptere and older artiw, volt their pat- rons, conversed in low wupere.

She then stepped upon a pedestal, and assumed the attitude of the "statue which enchants the world.", The setting sun threw its golden radiance through the half-closed Venetian blinds, and diffused a rich glow of light around tee brdeant and matchless propor- tions of this lovely woman.
