SCIENCE AND LITERATURE IN HUNOARY.—SIOWIy, yet perceptibly, the effects of the late reaction are passing away. Next autumn an exhibition of the produce of Hungary will be held in Pesth, and the number of agricultural journals is on the increase. Translations of the literary works of Frees, Pabst, kc., are published in the national idiom, and * sort of Board of Trade (Landeirtschaftliche Kammer) is about to be established. The Hungarian museum is also awakening from the lethargy of the last year ; and the pens of Baron losika, Podmanicky, and Eotviis are resuming their former activity. At the request of several Englishmen a professor of lan guages at l'esth is about to publish a " Library of Hungarian Literature" (in English), containing a grammar, a dictionary, and a history and samples of Magyar works of fancy. BERLIN RATIONAL GYMNASTD S.—The director of the Berlin Central Turn Institution, M. Rothstein, and Dr. Neuman have published the first number of the Atheneum for Rational Gymnastics, which de serves the attention of every thinking person.

Ressust PEOREE MENSURATION.--Professor Ar golander of Born, and the State's Councillor Struve, of the Observatory of Pulkowa, have arrived at Stockholm to confer on the measuring of degrees in Laponia with Messrs. Hanstien of Christiania and Sclonder of Stockholm. THE Drone or MILAN.—Connt Nava has been in defatigable in the restoration and completion of this fine monument of the middle ages. The front, especially, which had been designed by Henry Alders of liemand, commonly called Genial°, has been cleared of some obstructing daubs and patches of Pellegrini, which completely neutralised the first plan made in 1386 under the patronage of Duke Giovanni Visconti of Milan. A DIETINOVISHED AUATEra OF GARDENINO.—The late Austrian general of cavalry, Baron von Welden, was one of those who, amidst the greatest pressure of military and subsequently of diplomatic and govern mental business, still preserved some penchant for natir *hallo occupations. Having had to explore the Swiss Alps for strategic purposes in 181:1, he conceived a fancy for picturesque nature, for botany and horticulture, for the improvement and embel lishment of gardens and sites. In 18 . 27 appeared his " Monography of Monte Rosa," with im merous engravings ; and the horticultural journals of Germany contain many of his contributions. In the arid soil of Zara (in Dalmatia) he created a public garden—a real blessing for the inhabitants, hitherto deprived of such recreation. On the Schloss berg, near Gratz, he formed some wonderful park like grounds, affording views of the distant mountains and Alps. At Inspntek, where he also had been quartered for some time, he established an Alpine hone, around which many an Alpine plant was grown in its appropriate soil. THE ANNUAL. MEETING OF THE FRENCH ACADEMY, for the distribution of prizes, was held on Saturday last, M. Viennet in the chair.

Gull. lanme Guizot, divided with Charles Benoit, agrig of the faculty of letters of Paris, the Monthyon prize of the year (3,(100f.) for the best historical and lite rary paper on the comedies of Menamier. No prize was awarded for poetry, none of the compositions sent in being thought by the judges of sufficient merit. The subject proposed, the "Acropolis," re mains over for the year isNi. THE DINTINOVIIHIED ICELANDER. KONRAD (lie- LASON, has now finished the revisal of the great Old Norse and English dictionary, drawn up by the late Mr. Cleasby, who spent many years of his life and a considerable fortune in this noble contribution to northern study. His brother has generously enabled Herr Gislason to perform his laborious task, and the Cleasby family intend, it is said, to publish the whole work, either in London or in Copenhagen. The ex pense will be considerable in the first instance. but there is little doubt that the large sale will render the eventual loss very small.

It ties an excellent and comprehen sive index. THE ROYAL. THEATRE AT ERESSELS is now en tirely restored, and will reopen on Sept. 1. It will be entirely devoted to the grand opera, the comic opera, and ballet. THE DRAMATIC NEWS or THE WEEK at Paris is the announced sale of Mlle. Rachel's house in the Itue Radon.

From the commencement 6,987 have been seized, of whom 3,762 have died. PI ivate liberality of all kinds continues unabated.
