ANTIQUITIEA UN TIIE CLIVE AT WINTERTON.— Whilst some labourers were, it few days ago, in the act of ' . excavating fur drainage un the estate or W. li. Griffin, they rut across deep-laid foundations and it tesselattal pave- mitt of Itttman workmanship, at about fifty yards south of the superb prwthrium discovered by Dr. brake in the hut century, and of the curious 'milt afterwards brought to light by the late Mr. Fowler. The floors of them are of thy richest land most complicate designs, and too t tin representations of Orpheus playing on the haria ur lyre, and chart tt itt g the beasts around him, viz., the lion, the stag. the bear, the friar, the pegasus ' the dog, the m elephant, and the lux ; of rive., with eblematie rano of corn; and of a nymph, with the cornucopia (said to have had the property ... I f furnishing ita posteemr with whatererthe wished for) ; besides a great variety of chain-work, knots, fret., vases,and other ornaments, in fi ve appropriate " 1 " 1 " 4 At the top of the hill they met with three small urns, am many difkrent materials, and colours. In one of thew were enclosed thirteen rude discs of corroded lead, gar dually varying from one inch and a half to five-eighths of an melt in diameter, and from an eighth tom sixteenth of ea 1 inch in thickness. all being rounded at the edge., and the larger ones having a hole through them between the centre ' and the margin. \\ - bather them were weights or not, the careful sharers of them cling to the agreeably persuasion, I Mat they are money. or contain gold. Such sites I far their peaceful operations at this at Wintertion— with the afternoon sun, ti stream of water, the virility of the river Humber ' and commanding views, would stu:la to hays been approved by the Roman general., as there are similar I remains of a magnificent station at the village of Ilitrkstow, under the next rangy of hills eastward, and about equi distant front the great Ermin-street, which extended from the cord of Susses, through London and Lincoln, to the bank of the Downer, a little below Wintringham, and thence to York. It limy lie thought that remnants of anti quity are trines and useless; but, as 3 few imperfect bones have suggested to comparative unatornists the relative forms and peculiar habits of animals whom class, have ceased to live for thousands of year:, so these sure evidences of former limes supply considerate mind* with pinks in the chain of very interesting proofs of the permanent establishment, the settled peace, the domestic splendour, and the cultivated manners of the Romans in Britain mane sixteen or seventeen centuries ago.—Eagern (Anodic, Ihruld. A SC BC BRAN CON N EMA It A. —The tahabitante themselves exhibit a genuine Irish apathy. Here and. there, a barrow or two of oyster aliens, broken bricks, and other dry materials, have been thrown into the mud. In Cambrid , gc-row, I ohaeryed that stone effort had been made to get a crossing; but a sign hoard indicated that it was to facilitate the approach to "The back door of the Good Satnaritan.'• Continuing my way until I came within the shadow of the great cinder-heap. of Mr. Mule, his cautrartotr. I turned off at Cambridge-crescent, to make the hazardous ahem:A of discovering a passage buck into the Pancras-road. At the corner of Cambridge-crescent are the Talbot Arms Tea Gardens, boasting a dry skittle- Freund, which, if it be not an empty boast, must be an Agar Town island. The whirrs of Cambridge crewant are almost all shop-keepers—the poorest ex hibiting in their rag-patched windows a few apples and rest-herrings, with a rhyming announcement, " Table beer, Sold here." I suspect a system of barter pre vails—the articles sold there comprehending, no doubt, the whole of the simple wants of the inhabitants, a system, perhaps, suggested by the difficulty of communication with the eitiliied world. A 'minuet. in these parts imme,li,toy attracts the attention of the neighbourhood; and if he lie, not recogniied fur an Agarite. is at once set down for a I sponial commiasioncr" about to report to some newspaper upon the condition of the inhabitants. I met 310 One , having the air of a stranger, except an unlucky gentle man, attempting to make a short cut to the London and Tork Railway station ; and a postman, vainly in- I for Aurora Cottage.

This popula tion, moreover, being beyond the Iwo, fit of, and naturally opposed to, a prohibitory or protectiv, policy for the benefit of minor interests would the enactment of such laws as woul soon tend most directly to control and secure, by . competition, the markets of the world. 'their posit' , with their immense territory, would Weal to force such a policy upon them. On the line of the proposed road, with some eteeptions, for 2,000 miles in extent, mid with the entire Mississippi basin, is surplus vacant earth, alter sustainintr necessary amount of popul for its tillage, to produce rood suffieient for the present entire human family. item is no vs, aggeration. I have not only examined the lauds, but alwo the whole subject fully. These lands are at a very low, slinirst no price; they require but a small amount of labour to prodnee a crop; and the proposed rood will bring that crop to market so as to leave a handsome return to the traducer, and still supply England with food cheaper than from any other sooree. And where else Call England or Europe look to get ally benefit from the 141 of her east-oft surplus peso. ple, and an increased demand for her mechanical products? Here is already a population of 24,000.030, increasing in a • ratio without a parallel in history. This 2 lffithl,ooo Can sum.., in what they eat, drink, unit wear, au amount equal to that of any other :11,000,000 of souls of any other part of the globe ; here, then, is the market, and here demand can and will be incrcawsl, and the a hole ' human rani') must centre in this great Mississippi basin, ' with the commerce between Europe and Asia Ilassilla over real receiving its main support from it which cannot fail to bring the entire world together in a free exchange of its dit ferent commodities. - - - - It appears to me that this is now the great ,ullect for the xtatesmen and the philanthropists of both Fatima. and America to look upon and examine. We find, in Europe and in Asia, a xiirphis of population which IN unable, from their labour, to 111 , 11111 CC the necessary comforts Or life, and who burden the more fortunate around them. The philan thropist and statesman should study to place these destitute beings in a position where the objects of thu it err atiun emald I be aernmpli•hed that of supplying their own wants from their labour, besides exchanging with and sustainitig each other. We find this state of existence not among the ...M.:, or the barbarians, but with the highest state of cis ilization oof bath Europe and Asia, and we always find it to exist here land is so dear that the many cannot own or even occupy it. While, at the same time, we hook over the face of the earth and behold there are hundreds of million Of acres of wilder ness sufficient to give homes and plenty to mwe than double the present population of the entire globe, it is seen, too, that Pmvidenee has arranged and divide d this unmampicil earth as tout's w ants ~V.lll to re quire, and 141 his ways are tending. W.• oto servo on the American continent, with a climate an I soil suited to produce the utmost alnindance, th • surplus of Europe gathering, and certain to gather for some hundreds of years to come; and, on the other side of the globe, and within the tropics, we tind that the different islands of the different oceans would athwil aot mom for the surplas millions of China now in small minthers making their way to them. Thus wi• perecive that nature has provided earth for the surpluses of high Europe and Asia, directly between the two, and bringing each nearer to the other, and forming one grand et ntre on the Ameriran continent. All this is plain Ixfore us, but relief is slow in its progress, and misery seems even to increase. Why in it so ? is, that the want consists in the absence uf the TIMM, of a rapid and easy communication, and cheap transportation, which nature has failed to supply (by rivers or other navi gable waters) between the parts WIWI,: the misery now exists and this wilderness earth. 'this is the age, and WOW 1 4 the time, for the full develop ment of man's ge aa iaa. in the ',instruction of kurh means of cheap transport and rapid emu, tttttt leation as will give homes to the millions at present destitute, and make them pro ducers and distributors. No one can doubt that the Creator has given ample space of earth for all his creatures ; and we must fulfil more effectually than we have yet done the command that we should go forth, subdue, and occupy it.

RAG-PICKF.W4.—The rag-gatherera (r/oijiininiers) of Paris having resolved, in 'nation of workmen of different trades, to form themselves into :1 Fraternal Association," delegates (10 in number) assem bled on Thursday evening in a public house bearing the sign of the " Drapcau," in the rue Moutfetard. Each dele gate on entering paid 10 centime. to cover the expenses of the meeting, and during the deliberations wine at :01 centimes the quart was consumed. Six of the worthy fra ternity who knew how to read offered themselves fur the presidency, and four who possessed the art of writing aspired to the rosscretarphip of the meeting. President and secretary having been duly elected, the tanner took his seat in the chair, which consisted of an empty wine-cask. The rag-gatherers, he said, were distinguished by their probity and delicate sense of honour; and he added that with the exception' of a few unworthy men, they made a rule of de positing anything of value they may Bud in the hands of the commissary of police of the district. lie dwelt on the necessity of forming a society of mutual as sistance ; and made a pathetic exhortation to his fellows to display concord and gaol feeling. The hon. gentleman was loudly applauded. The secretary then read the sta tutes which it was proposed to adopt. Out: of its articles was that every heap of rubbish 'mind in the streets should be fraternally divided amongst every rag-gatherer of the quarter, and that no one, on tiny pretext, should be per mitted to grope in the portion of another. Another article fixed the payment to be made by each member at 25 cen times a month, nod the allowance each was to receive in case of sickness or iuubility to work at 30 centimes a day. The statutes were adopted. It was unanimously resolved that the oldest rag-gatherer of Paris, a man of 80, called the Emperor, should enjoy all the advantages of the as-o elation without making amp payment; and moreover that he should be allowed to attend all meetings and banquets without paying. A treasurer was then nominated, and he produced the funds of the association: they were deposited in an earthen put, and it was stated that after all expenses should have been paid, 21f. 75c. would remain in hotel. Several toasts were drunk to the increasing prosperity of the Parisian rag-gathering, and the meeting broke up. - - SCSDAY TUADING INEVENTION 1111.1e—The bill to prevent unnecessary trading in the metropolis, as just amended by the select ecommittee of the House of Com mons, provides that if any person shall on Sunday, within the metropolitan police district, sell, or expose for sale, ' any goods, chattels, or other things. nr if any dealer in meat, fish, poultry, game or wild fowl, shall on Sunday, after 9 o'clock in the morning, deliver such articles of 1 . 01 I• sumption at the rtsiiknee of the purchaser, he shall, on conviction, be tined 20s.
