The following is an extract of a letter from a young Gentleman, who has visited the ruins of Pompeii, to his friend in Liverpool : " This city is situated about a quarter of a mile from the Bay of Naples. We entered the ruins through a gate by the road side, into a barrack. yard, which appeared to have been a fortress, and WWI, nu doubt, at nue period of time, conti guous to the Nletliterraueini Sea. We were here stiewit the original wooden stocks, w which a soldier was found sitting on a smile with his legs fastened, the uutOrturtate Mill being discovered by the workmen employed ►o remove away the soil. Several pillars of the Corinthian order still remain, forming a dilapidated colonnade, sonic of which are tolerably entire, toil reielered particularly interesting, by having the soldiers' 'MTes very legibly engraved thereon, in their own hand-writing. We next inspected the two Theattes. the stage, orchestra, and seats Ming still disceruible, with some broken particles of the la:lrble pave ment. Not far thence is the Temple of I lereules. The altars and other relics of t,folatrotta supersti , as well as a variety of fanciful cornices, and other architectural ornaments, still exist in it very wonderful state of preservation ; even the original paintings on the wails are to be seen will t the least deterioration. 1. 11" e walked through most of the principal' 'greet*, and into the houses, the floors of which were tichly covered with Mosaic and Human p.ovrinent ; over the trout doors, carved on stone. are sill the mums of their quondam inhabitanta„ among whom we oliserved that or S.rllusr. It is lint by any means difficult to discover baths, (441er-houses, hake-houses, and other pimps of trade, even the cu•torn-house and other public Aires. There is a sulyerriturous wine manufactory on the north fide, near the city gates, wioch Was exu iiii ned with great atientioit ; it IA very eXtritptive, and contains the eartlicti vessels and bottles wherein the trine had been kept ; they were arranged in the saint precise ' , viler Hi plevioto4 to the at•ful eruption winch dean thr city: thr inferior of ihis place li re sembles cloisters, the roof being arched with strong stone*.

The workmen are clearing away the rubbish with great success. Outing our visit they were in a house near to the Temple of Isis, where, it was conjectured, a medical person bad resided, as several surgical instruments were found in the soil; we a'isu oh. served some paintings, finely executed, on the plaster of the walls, emblematical of such a pro fession. The labour is conducted with the greatest cif cunispectiou, every particle of the soil Iwing put into small baskets, and afterwards examined in the presence of officers. It was with great dd . - ficulty I was enabled to bring away a part of the binge of a do,r, airecial orders having been given by Ferdinand for notheug to be taken away without his perinissiou. . _ .

CHASSE.—The wanton consumption which tikes place at these mertiugs of sportsmen iis the court try is in every lielike nod. The poacher is led there by the astoni.hing reports of quantity : the !ratite of it at the time Is to be ►eerttrd. and the accidents that occur from the uuttober of persons thus shout. lug together are Irequently very serious. THE SWINISH RACE. There is no pot of the animal creation that has more cause to complain of the general prejudices of loan than the domestic pig. This nufortunate animal is al 1111 l tit proverbially spoken of as unclean awl stupid ; Noel yet, strange as the toms may seem to ninny of our readers, the creature es really sagacious. and naturally disposed to cleanliness.— The following notice of its habits and powers of etiscrii 1111 l ati so, is taken from the sth cumber of The ltdinbeirgh 43Inathly Magazine : We sore apt to conceive the domestic pig to be much more milelteate and sordid thou it really is; for it selects at least the plants on which it feeds with equal sagacity and niceness. rejecting more siwcies t h an most of the phytog it tttttt s quadrupeds ; is never poisoned, like some other animals, by mitt. taking noxious. for wholesome food ; and prefers the delicate truffle to all other vegetable production.. Its ' , sage of vegetable diet is more circumscribed by its scruples than that of other animists ; for it appears, boon the reticulations in the Pint StleCtat, that alien the ox eats g 76. sod rejects '2lB species of photo, the hog eats only 72. and refuses 171. ,t motig the grasser, it prefers the most succulent, mad tllll4lllg roots the must nourishing, as those of the will carrot, gosts'-heterel. virsuip, potato, &e. In rouse Port" of Italy swine are even trained to hunt for truffles; and NI r. llingley, w Lis " Me moirs qf British Quadrupeds," records an instance of an individual id this calumniatt-d species, be letrigitig to the late Sir 11. I'. St. John Milelintqe which was taught to point game with perfect regu larity, to the great umusement of sportsmen. These creatures are also capable of acquiring various other habits. and of performing feats, winch prove that they are by no means deficient in understandirtg; rir, thou g h their ordioaty destiny is to breed, and to he fattened for the market, and the cultivation of their talents, if we may he allow ed the expression, is, in course, almost umformly neglected, yet learned pigs have been exhibited in almost every town of Europe. We may notice, too, the circumstance of their being ftequeittly ob served to collect straw with their mouths, in order to form a warm hed, when the wind blows keenly, rind to call their companions, by repeated cries, to assist in the work. Their extreme sensibility to wind, winch has, probably, given rise to the po pular expression, that they see it, denotes, at ail e vents, a more delicate organization than is usually ascribed to them ; and though they generally pass for dirty anitnals, it has been remarked. that where they have liberty, their sleeping places are kept more free from tilt h than those of most quadrupeds. A new-littered pig instinctively deposits its dung apart from the spot on which it lies, and this at tention to cleanliness grows with age, insomuch that if kept dirty; it becomes restless and discon tented, and never thrives. The reputation of the race for filthiness, has, probably, orignated in their addiction to roll in the mud, or in freshly thrown up -nil—a habit wind' is by no means peculiar to them, and which only betrays their eagerness to remove the itchy sensations produced by insects. The sanie uneasy feelings appear to he induced be fore rain, whet), like poultry, these animals rub themselves in the dust. Let us recollect, that, when compelled to exert themselves, they evince the most determined courage, as well as the most marked sympathy with those of their own species; for the moment that one of them utters a signal of distress, all within hearing will tun to its assistance. Of the numerous instances which have been quoted in proof cf this assertion, the ensuing is nut the least remarkable:— " The Steur Brue haying, in rain, lied recourse to every experimetit for softening the ferocious dis position of a tiger, which he had reared at Fort tit. Louis, no the western coast of Africa, was curious to know how a hog' would defend himself against so herge and powerful a beast. Ile, conse quently, citased one to be detached from a herd, and the rest to be conveyed to rower distance. As soon as the tiger was loosened the hog retired into an angle in the wall of the tort, where, fur a very considerable time, it kept the tiger at bay : at lellgth. when closely pressed, it uttered a furious scream, mill, in an instant, the whole drove advanced to its relief, and so resolutely asserted the tiger, that, in order to save himself, he was compelled to spring out or their reach into the ditch of the fort. 3 herd of ►wine have been known to gather mood a dog which teased them, and to kill Into on the spot : and if a male and female of this species be put tutu a ►tye when young, the female will de cline from the moment that her comommin is re moved, and will probably die of a broken heart." The indictment (mind against Mr. MANN, radical bookseller, of Leeds, at the last Quarter Sessions, has been removed by a writ of certiorari into the Court of King's h itch, and it will, of course, he sent down to be tried at the next Assizes fur the county.

THE SEARCHING OF THE RIVER TIMER 1,011 REMAINS OF ANTIQUITY. [From "Tiss London Magazhse," published by 13aId•hs, Craduck, mud Joy.] (Concluded from our Paper e Tuerday last) These proposals not having been fon..d 'rite sati‘factory, an explanation was afserwards pub lished ; iu the course of which it ws. declared, that the silli,cribers were to he coi.sidered regular a•sortatrs to the enterprise, wish some ennditions favour of Signor Nero, not very necessary to be herr detailed. The enterprise, while in • wavering state, re ceived afterwards both money and encouragetnetit from England, the Kreart fosterer of schemes of all descriptions. An article appeared in the L)iariu di !Coma of March go, 1814. where the writer, after speaking of the envy and detraction which all good projects meet with, informs the public that the director hail received subscriptions for forty shares froin Loudon. accompanied with a wish bons the same munificent sulperiber, to retain all the re. !mining shares. A very glowing complement is paid to the English 11411011 in consequence. The writer hints, that ►he scheme originated in else en. coursgement held out to the projector by the Duchess of Devonshire : lie concludes...." May the monarch flood who has for so many ages glided through the moat magnificent city of the moverse, be Num' to teem with interesting objects, and abundantly satisfy those who respect the memory of the ancients 1" The next official account we have of this scheme is not quite so satisfactory. In the Diaria di Koma of July 31, 1819, we have a pompous account of the launch of the vessel with the machines, celled the Medusa, on July the 49th. The Circe (a boat) with two other small craft, we are informed, were launched a few days sooner. The labours being thus likely to begin about two months after the promised time, the " Council of Administration" proceed to explain, that an agent from Loodun having_ contracted for forty shares, and ex pressed • wish to retain all the others that remained, the contract war concluded for the forty, and he was told that the others to the number of eighty were at his disposal. Some mis understanding arose, and the " Administration" had the mortification to learn, that Mr. Baring, the banker, who was employed to cover the slim, hail presented the bills without effect. The machines were already in an advanced state, when this heavy defalcation seemed to threaten the whole affair with the delay at least of many months. The Directors take great credit to themselves for following up their object under these discouraging circumstances. They declare that the subscriptions amount to 9,000 crowns only, and that the expenses of the under taking far exceed that sum. They are therefore of opinion, that they have already inure than fulfilled their obligations to the public, boot are determined to follow up the operations notwithstanding these disasters. The name of the English sobseillwr has not been published, and it is fortunate for Inon that there is a strung party in Rome mgamst the under taking, who congratulate the gentleman, whoever he is, on hatjug escaped an impolotion.—lt is for him to consider, whether lie actually bought the sharer; and, if so, why lie declined to make good lots elogugement. It is to be hoped, for the honour of the nation, that these are questions which cuu be satisfactorily as,swerril. NVltatesei the Directors may say of their vigour and perseverance, the actual operations have been conducted in a trifling, negligent iuminer. It was found that the vessel could only stork close to the shore ; the smallest increase of water rendered even this impracticable, and occasionally the divers would complain of cold. Their Jinn acquisition was made in a very inauspicious snootier. Having !lewd of the existence of a monument on the shore, aurae miles s.p the Tyber, a boat was dispatched to bring it ; noel it was found to be u cii.pus of white nimble, with an inscription to a female of the Coruelien faintly, and a portrait. It appe a se, however, that it Nov private property ; fur soon after its Requirement the officers of justice took It V/ /13' front the " Administration: The latter were going to lay their hands on route fiugmenta near the church of St. Paul, but the monks interfered here ap,uni. What they have actually found in the river consists of blocks of stone and marble of little va lue. A daily account or the operations was pub lished, and a specimen of these journals will serve to spew the zeal and g.od order of the " Council of Administration." The following is a successful day. " August 23, 1819, at 101 o'clock (Italian time), after having called over the men's names, it was decided that. the Captain with eight men, should go to the Company's dock, in order to launch the third boat belonging to the Medusa. Arrived at the place, after the necessary prepara tions the boat was latillelled at half-past eleven o'clock, in presence of the Director ! flaviug then caused the cippus of Cornelia to be carried to the magazine, the key was delivered to the keeper Giacomo Menicucci. The smaller implement* boil embarked, the ship's company returned to the 31e dusa, and auchortd near the ancient port of Marino rata. The cylinder having begun to work, it was found that several amiable. were at the bottom. to raise which it was necessary to prepare some chains a diver was sent under water to fastest one with iron (Tampa, prepared b'r that purpose. After having proceeded in the operation, end give!' the necessary rest to the men, the work was recommenced at '2O o'clock. and the windlasses belie; hired to the corneal ding lopes iis presence of all the under signed, of Signor (liiiseppe Buto, official account ant, and of an immense crowd which hued both banks, the piece was dragged to the ristance of 15 palms from the shore, at the depth of fourteen from the surface of the water, and it was then raised and embarked in one of the boats, where it was found to be a curious piece of Pentelick marble, with red and yellow veiny. It was four palms long. three iu width, and two in thickness. Having caused a piece to be broken off, it was given to the Duchess of Devonshire, who was also present at the operation. The guard having been set far the night. the men were dismiss ed at 231 o'clock. The present rotes ver bal was dune and cloeed on bond the Medusa, on the day and year aforesaid, in the presence of the undersigned."—Mere follow the signatures of " the Administration.")
