This was an action brought by the plaintiffs, the eminent jewellers, to recover from the defendant, the keeper of a coffee-house, the value of seven diamonds, alleged to have formed part of a necklace, of considerable value, which was stolen from the plaintiffs. The necklace was originally the property of Mr. Bult, a diamond merchant, who left it in the hands of Messrs. Blagg and Martin, also extensive diamond merchants, from whom it passed into the possession of the plaintiffs, in 1840. In October of that year, the necklace was stolen from the premises of the plaintiff's, and dia monds which corresponded in the cut,water, andproportion with those of which the necklace had been composed were offered for sale by the defendant to Mr. Hama!, a diamond broker. In consequence of hand-bills which had been issued by the plaintiffs, the defendant was called to account as to whence he had obtained the jewels. Isis explanation did not enable the plaintiffs, or the police officer whom they em ployed, to trace the parties from whom he stated he had obtained the jewels. Under these circumstances the action was brought, to recover the value of that portion which was traced to his possession. Several witnesses swore that the seven jewels sold to Mr. Hamal belonged. to the necklace ; and the Jury, after a short deliberation, found fur the plaintiffs, in damages 5001. C.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION' HOUSE. A pawnbroker named Folhard was summoned before Alderman Gibbs, to show cause why he received in pledge a pair of regimental shoes, contrary to the statute. Sergeant Wm. Eldridge produced the shoes, in the inside of which was marked the name of the regiment of Guards to which they belonged. He stated that on the 17th inst. he received the pawn ticket, with directions to take the shoes out cf pledge, and he accordingly paid 3 , . Ind. to the pawnbroker to redeem them. He knew that they belonged to the regiment from the mark inside. There was no hesitation about giving him the shoes. Mr. Folkard appeared by his Solicitor, who asked whether any one was to be called to prove when the shoes were pawned ? The witness said they were not pawned in the name of the soldier to whom they belonged.. . The pawnbreker's solicitor said that the articles were pawned- by a customer, and therefore no suspicion was entertained that they were regimental shoes, and that the mark inside was scarcely perceptible. He however grounded the defence of his client upon the fact that the .shees were taken out of pledge, whereas, according to the' statute, they ought to have been left in pledge, and the pawnbroker ought to have been summoned for having them in pledge. Alderman GIBBS said that sort of defence would not answ.r. It was quite enough for him to know that they had been pledged, and that they were regimental. Mr. Whitaker, a pawnbroker, who said he had been in the trade forty years, and had received the thanks of military authorities, for his exposure of the tricks by which soldiers concealed regimental marks, in order to impose upon pawnbrokers, stated that he would have taken in the shoes in question without hesitation. Alderman GIBBS—It is the pawnbroker's duty to see that they: is no regimental mark on whatever is taken to him as a pledge. This case is fully proved, but it is not one fer severe punishment. 1 fine the pawnbroker 205., and three times the value of tLe shoes, and costs. captain Ganwazain, of the Dutch sloop Vissery, lying off the Custom-house, was summoned by a lighterman, named Rose, .for having cut away the hawser of the Hope and Surrey barge, a hich lay alongside of the sloop. The complainant stated that the barge had been made fast, according to the harbour-master's regulations, and that soon afterwards the Dutchman ordered his man, without ceremony, to cut away the hawser, and let the barge drift down the river, which was accordingly done. One of witness's sons, in endeavouring to prevent the man from doing the mischief, received a cut in the neck, and was actually near getting his throat cut, but he could not swear that the knife was used intentionally against him. It appeared from the evidence. that the Dutchman, upon being expostulated with, emitted the most abu sive language along with the whiffs of his pipe, and d—d the defendant and the harbour -masters, and all other authorities which might resist his directions. The Assistant Harbour-Master said that a great deal of indulgence was shown to the Dutch ships which came to this port laden with eels, on account of the trade, and that Captain Ganwazain showed the greatest contempt for the authorities on the occasion. The sons of the complainant said the Captain was drunk when he gave the orders, and that he said he did not care for any body, as he had his men aboard to do what he commanded. The Captain said he was not drunk when he directed his men to act, but that he was going to dinner. He. also stated that one Of the young men challenged him to fight, and that he said he would not fight until he had eaten his dinner, as he did not like to be knocked about upOn an empty stomach. Alderman GIBBS said the Captain must take care how he repeated such tricks,!and fined him 20s. and costs, and expenses. The Dutchman threw down the money and walked away. RLBOR 0 UG H- STREE7'. Mr. Thomas Edward Johnson, a gentleman of fortune, residing at No. 131, .Piccadi:ly, appeared on a summons, fur assaulting Amelia Browning. The complainant, a remarkably strong, hale, fresh coloured young woman, stated that she was housemaid to Mr. Cowling, the proprietor of the house, No. 131, Piccadilly, which is let out in chambers. The defendant occupied the suite of rooms on the second door. About half-past eight o'clock on Monday morning last-she was in the defendant's drawing-room dusting the furniture, / when the defendant came in from his bed-room, with only his dressing-gown and stockings on, and slapped her on the back with his open hand ; but whether in play or auger she could not say. Hu then seized her by the ems, and tattled her abut the room for twenty minutes, during which he attempted to take indecent liberties with her, and to throw her down on a sofa ; but owing to her being very strong and resolute, she resisted him but he at length threw her down on the floor, and finding he could not accomplish his purpose, he struck her with his walking-stick, and then rang the bell for his valet, and on his entering the room he told him to " take that b— of-a woman away." She immediately acquainted her master and mistress with the manner she had been ill-used. The defendant most solemnly protested, that the com plainant's statement was ent irel y fals e — he had had oc casion to complain of her imp ertine nce several times to her mistress, and on Monday m ornin g he desired her to quit his drawing-room, a s he wanted to use i t hi mse lf , but she positively refused to do so, and he did then cer tainly take her by the arm, and endeavour to force her out. As to his taking indecent l ibe rties with her, it was anre t d r i u .e n s t s p e e d d a u t p th s e tu t r i y me o . The complainant underwent a long eross-examinationut of revenge ; be was com pletelyby Mr. Maltby, in which she made some slight prevari 'cations. Mr. MALTnY said the case was not clearly made out to his satisfaction, and he should therefore not deal sum marily with it, but send it to be determined by a Jury, should the complainant think proper to indict. The defendant was then ordered to enter into his owl recognizance of 1001. to answer the charge at the Sessions. ADULTERY IN FRANCE. A SENTIMENTAL LAFARGE. A suit of some interest, in which the parties were M. Daloz, a retired and wealthy notary, and his wife, was decided last week by the Cour Royale, in an ap peal by the husband from a judgment of the tribuual before which the case was first brought, and by which, although Mine. Daloz was condemned to three months' imprisonment for adultery, the husband was sen tenced to pay to her an allowance of 6,000 f. a year for her separate maintenance, and the guardianship of a son, an only child, was entrusted to her until he ~hall have attained his seventh year. - From the state ment of the Counsel for M. Daloz, it appeared that his first wife, who was the daughter of the celebrated dancer Mlle. Bigottini, and who had brought him in marriage 800,000 f., he being at the time already a wealthy man, having died leaving him two children, he married, with a view of providing a second mother for them, his present wife, who had only 40,000 f. There was living with him at the time the bro ther of his first wife, a very young man, and as M. Daloz, was necessarily very frequently absent from home, the wife and his brother-in-law, M. Charles Bigottini, were much together without the controlling eye of the husband, who, considering the position in which the parties stood to each other, could never have anticipated a criminal intimacy. Such, however, was the result, and, according to the statement of the Counsel, the wife was the more criminal of the two, M. Bigottini being several years younger than Mme. Daloz. On the discovery of this intercourse M. Daloz separated from his wife, but some time after wards, in consequence of her real or affected repen tance, took her back to his home, if not to his bosom. She was not long, however, before she committed a similar fault with an eminent French physician, select ing this time a person old enough to be her father, whereas she had previously chosen one much younger than herself. This second liaison being also dis covered, the husband repudiated her definitively, and commenced a prosecution against her for adul tery ; the wife, in her turn, demanding the guardianship of their child, and a large annual sum for her separate maintenance. Her Counsel endeavoured to show, as is usual in such cases, that the husband had ill-treated and neglected his wife, and stated that on the discovery of the second adultery, which was not denied, 31. Daloz had called upon the physician, and threatened an exposure which would be fatal to him in his profession, if he did not pay a large sum of money (60,000 f.) to M. Daloz. The ill-treatment was denied; but it was admitted that the plaintiff had received 60,000 f. from the Doctor, which, however, it was added, he had required for the use of the poor of his arrondissement, to whom it was given. The Coar Royale, after devoting two days to the hearing , of the case on both sides, confirmed the sentence which had been appealed against. In the course of the re-hearing some very curious letters and papers by the wife, of which possession was obtained b the husband, were read. The object was chiefly to show that she had not been the object of ill-treatment by her husband and, above all,- to trace to a romantic and perverted imagina tion the motives of her misconduct. The following paper, under her own hand, was amongst those read in Court. it is a remarkable instance of the false sen sibility which is derived from the education of a very numerous class of the females in the present day and is, indeed, a key to the motives of miscon duct of which the tribunals are almost daily revealing the existence. Like the printed works of some of the female authors of the day which have had a sad popu larity, the effusion of Madame Daloz displays great powers of imagination, but is unfortunately wanting in principle and common sense :—She says, ".I ; expect nothing more from life. Existence has deceived me. I ask for nothing, but to die. lam 23 years of age, and I have reached that period advancing from de ception to deception. From my childhood. I have always dreamt of some grand and profound attach ment, love or friendship, no matter the name. I desired an affection which should move my very soul, and absorb my whole being. I thought at one time I might realise this dream in the tenderness of my father. A. jealous mother came at each moment sapping and shaking my esteem and veneration for him ; and he died before I could devote myself to his love, before he could appreciate and enjoy my affectian. Each of my sisters was in turn my idol, my model, my confidante, but they all have more or less sacrificed me. My mother merited no such sentiments, and my brother only gave me too little place in his affections, to induce me to give up mine to him." Alluding to marriage she says, "These deceptions condemned me to another the most cruel of all. When I shut myself up in the dis enchantment of my soul, I thought I should die; but I was young, and I lived on to suffer. Then I dreamt of and panted for conjugal love. Un ceasingl4- did I represent to myself two beings united In the same existence. How often did my thoughts picture those two heads pillowed on the bosom of the beloved object. Sleep steals over them clasped in each other's arms. They awake only to renew their embraces. Melancholy, the evil which so often attacked me, would have ap peared less bitter from being shared. My woes would have been listened to and understood; my diseased and suffering imagination would have been cured, be cause it would have been cherished, as an only child is by a tender mother. My husband would have pitied me in my moments of folly, of trouble, and madness ; he would have calmly reasoned with me, and gently chided me in the name of his affection when my calmer moments had arrived. When my mental tempest has arisen, oh ! I feel, I know, that I am no longer myself—my reason wanders, I become extravagant and blameable ; but, oh, my God I am I not also, from my very sufferings, entitled to a little pity ? Were a friendly hand to caress me, to en velope me in the idea that I am beloved, I should cease to weep, I should cease to suffer, for there is but one evil I dread, that of being beloved by no one ! 0 God ! save me from myself! Oh, God, is it an idea from hell to conceive those two beings mutually beloved, always together, seeking each other by day, and meeting again at night ! A unity of tastes and similarity of feeling directing their existence. Oh, how the real misfortunes of life would in such case glide lightly by ! In fact, misfortune cannot strike heavily where union exists, but it crushes the single and isolated woman, who finds herself exiled from her native land. Since love composes all her existence, and since she is obliged to hold in her heart with both hands to prevent its beat ing, its palpitating, her duty is to behold. But could I guess this when those ideas of a young girl assailed me ? I hoped to behold, and waited for the perfect being my imagination had depicted. I could never find him, for I required him too faultless. But whilst I waited for him, I consecrated my heart to him as a temple s which I adorned each moment." She thus speaks of her husband :—" Sometimes a rush of affec tion pervades my being. and I should like to give him some brilliant proof of my affection. Of an evening when we walk in silence, lie thinks of money matters, and I say to myself, would that somebody would attack him. I would precipitate myself before him, I would fall pierced with blows, after having saved his life ; he would judge me, he would see if lam courageous when I loved ! At this thought my blood boils, I become feverish, I press his arm, I should like to throw myself on his neck, to cover him with my caresses, no matter where, even in the public street. Then I stop, I smile with irony, and I ex claim, `What would this proof of my affection do to him? It would be an emotion which he would re pulse, a derangement of his life which he detests ; he would like better to have his dinner well cooked.' He is right, for he considers life in that point of view, but, 0, my God, I cannot do so. This thought chokes me, 1 am suffocated and I weep, and yet why should Idoso ? I have no sorrow. Every day I have my dinner, fire, lodging, and dresses. Y But, good God, is that enough ? " AN ARTIST'S TOUR. We quote from the Art- Union the following in teresting account of Ostia, and other places at the mouth of the Tiber, seldom visited by travellers : Rome, Jane 3, 1838. I have been traversing the classic, though now deso late shores of Ostia, Ardea, Nettuno, &c., accompanied by an intimate friend, a Swiss artist. We set out on foot at four o'clock in the morning, carrying with us our sketching materials, a knapsack containing linen, &e., good stout sticks with iron points, to defend ourselves on the road in case of necessity, and a chart of the country to facilitate our progress. We arrived at Fuemiccino about ten o'clock in the morning, and, having refreshed ourselves, proceeded to Ostie, passing the famous fields of Apollo, on which stood his temple, now a melancholy waste, marshy and sterile. We arrived at the ancient Ostia about twelve o'clock, having crossed the Tiber a little below its termination into the sea, a slight memo randum of which I transferred to my sketch-book. After having scrambled our way with much difficulty through long grass and brambles, we entered the ruin& a temple said to be the Temple of Jupiter, and which still bears evident marks of former splendour ; from these ruins we had a view of the very slender remains of the ancient city, which consist of a number of foundations of build ings, &c., almost lost amongst briars and brambles. One can scarcely imagine, when looking on the desolate scene around, that this was once a flourishing and populous i city, into the ports of which entered vessels from all parts of the world. Leaving these ruins we arrived at the modern Ostia, and were so much struck with its ap pearance, that we sat down to take a sketch of it : it is a most picturesque object, and the two pines which grow in front of its half-ruined walls add much to its " pic turesqueness." .After the dreary waste we had left, it seemed like a spring in the desert. .Having completed our sketches, and feeling our appetites sharpened, we entered the village, and were served at the inn with a sorry repast by a brutal and ill-looking landlord, who made us pay exorbitantly. We took a survey of the in terior of the large tower, hut found in it nothing particu larly interesting, except a few inscriptions dug out of the neighbouring ruins. Having satisfied our curiosity, we' proceeded by a pleasant walk to Castel Fusano, a country seat of Prince Ghigi, where we intended to pass the night : it is an old castellated mansion ; and tradi tion says that the stone figures of sentinels on the top of this mansion were placed there to deceive the Turkish corsairs, who from time to time made incursions on the neighbouring shore, and did not spare the castle itself. It is situated in a spacious though neglected park, and is surrounded by beautiful pines. As we approached it the sun was setting, and threw a gorgeous light on an avenue of those trees, at which we were gazing with ad miration, when we were accosted by the custode, or 1 keeper of the park, with whom we entered into conver sation ; in the course of which he informed us, to our great vexation, that the steward had accompanied the Prince to Route, and that all the rooms in the castle were locked up, and advised us to go back to Ostia. Here was a pretty predicament : we were not disposed to retrace our steps, as the distance from Ostia was seven miles ; nor did we like trusting ourselves in the hands of the worthy landlord, and other certain ferocious-looking individuals we had noticed in the inn. We therefore begged and prayed of the custode to give us shelter, if it were only in a shed, explaining to him our forlorn con dition. Upon consideration, he said he would apply to the cowherd, who lived in a kind of hovel with his family adjoining the villa, whither we accompanied him ; and, after no little persusion, he was induced to give us shel ter ; we supped with the cowherd and his family on bread and water, this being the only felt they had to offer us, He then conducted us to a room without furni ture, and having supplied us with some straw for beds, and lighted a fire, we laid down to repose ourselves, or at least with that intention, for we were kept awake all night by the buzzing of mosquitoes, with which this part of the country is infested : they bit me so severely on the hands that I still bear the marks of them. We arose at daybreak, not sorry to get out of our - .vretched resting place. It was a chill misty morning, and cur prospect of breakfast was very doubtful, but we were sustained by our enthusiasm : we thought of Virgil, Apollo, &c.; and my friend, who is a zealous classic, opening a pocket edi tion of the iEneid in Italian, spouted as we proceeded briskly along a road in the midst of a wood, formed from the materials of the Via Severiana, and Which brought us to the sea-side just in time to see the sun rise on the ocean—a glorious sight ! which gave us fresh energy. So beautiful was the effect, that I was induced to make a sketch of it, but gave it over in despair ; and after we had lingered awhile gazing on the broad blue ocean, we proceeded along the shore for many miles without meet ing a soul, except. two or three soldiers stationed in cabins to prevent smugglers from landing. The sands in this part are very smooth, so we took off our shoes and stockings and walked in cuerpo the whole length of them.. Having trotted in this manner for about seven or eight miles, we arrived at a solitary tower called the Tor Paterno, inhabited by a few miserable-looking sol eiers employed in watching smugglers : this was the site of the famous city of Laurentum, celebrated by Virgil is his .2Encid, and which was the first place where 1 2 1.2ne.as landed on his arrival in Italy ; and the daughter of whose king, Latinos, he married. Leaving the sea . shore we branched off into the road to Practice, the place of our destination fin- that day ; this path lay in i the midst of a wood which, for desolate wildness, I con ceive may rival any in the most savage region. After walking a considerable distance without meeting with any living creature, except snakes and lizards, and des crying uo signs of Practica, we began to imagine we had lost our way ; this was a melancholy reflection I We had tasted nothing but a bit of bread since twelve o'clock the preceding day. The sun shone hotly upon us, and we were encumbered with our trappings ; yet, not allowing our courage to flag, we trudged on till we arrived at a cross-road in an open country ; here, how ever, we could discover no signs of Practica ; and my companion, leaving me in charge of the luggage, walked to a hill at a short distance, where he, to his great joy, discovered the eagerly sought for town ; and at that m:lment some labourers coming up, told him they were going on the road to Practica to a farm, where they were employed in hay-making. We all joined ; and having arrived at the farm, were enabled to procure some bread and wine, which you may easily imagine we needed not it little. After this refreshment, we proceeded to Prac tica, where we arrived about two o'clock in the day, haviing slept on the ground tbr above two hours from ex cessive fatigue. This town is very small, but prettily situated, and from the tower of a palace of Prince Burghese there is a most magnificent distant view of Rome, and the surrounding countries of Albano, Gen sano, Frascati, &c. Practica is situated on the same site as Lavinium, built by .2Eneas in honour of his wife Lavi nia; and many antiquities have been dug up in the neigh bourhood. After having dined and supped tolerably well in the inn of the place, we went to rest, and next morning early we set out for Ardea, sketching many objects on the road. It is a curious circumstance, that all the farm-houses and cottages on this road were formed' exactly in the same manner as those described by Virgil, and they are only to be found so in this part of the country. We passed several herds of fierce looking buffaloes, which we wished a hundred miles off; luckily, however, they offered us no annoyance. The country round about on this road is very picturesque, and now and then one catches a distant view of the sea, or of a lcng line of blue mountains. We arrived at Ardea about twelve o'clock ; this town is exceedingly picturesque and interesting ; the air, however, we were told, is so extremely bad in the summer, that all the in habitants leave . it and go to more healthy parts. Ardea is eelebril i p d by Virgil in his .. - Eneid as the habitation of Turmis, King of the Rutuli; and Ardea was the capi tal of their kingdom : it was besieged by Tarquin the Proud; and in the after ages was the retreat of the cele brated General Furius Camillus, on leaving his ungrate ful country; and from its gates he sallied forth to com bat Brennus, King of the Gauls, when he had reduced Rome to its last shift. We occupied ourselves in sketch ing many objects there the rest of the day, and the next morning departed for Porto d'Anzio. After passing many fields of oxen and buffaloes, we arrived at the sea side, it a large tower, called the tower of St. Lorenzo, where we reposed ourselves for a short time, and break fasted on some provisions we had brought with us from Ardea; for experience had taught us the necessity of providing ourselves in this manner. We then walked for several miles along the sea shore: the morning was very fine, and the sea of a beautiful azure blue, now and then relieved by a tint of emerald green, and where the sun was reflected on its surface it appeared as if spotted with a thousand brilliants. In England it is impossible to imagine these effects; the deepest ultramarine is not too strung to represent the sea in fine sunny weather: there was one annoyance, however, in the midst of this beautiful scene, which tended to disturb the delighted feeling it produced; numbers of oxen, driven by the great heat from the woods and meadows lying itiland, had come out to the border of the sea to enjoy the fresh ness of the breeze, and we had to drive them away as we passed along, though not without some fear and trem bling. We at length arrived at a solitary tower on the sea shore, called Solfatara, where we reposed; and gaz ing on the sea shore, and reflecting on the " dangers we had passed," we regarded with other feelings the for midable oxen, forming, as it were, in the perspective, a white border to the beach; and they now served to re mind us of Europa and the " fair white bulk" Keeping along the shore for four or five miles, we arrived at Porto d'Anzio. The first object that met our eye on entering the town was a large villa where Don Miguel resides when he goes into the country; his constant occupation is in shooting the wild boars, &c , which frequent the neighbouring woods. Passing by the villa, we came to a barrack of soldiers, and were passing some ruins on oar right unnoticed, when we were addressed by an officer fronethe window, who told us they were the re mains of Nero's birth-place. " I have no doubt, said he, " but that to see it is one of the objects of your visit here." We answered in the affirmative; and he then politely directed one of the soldiers to show us over the apartments upper rtments ruins. They contain many rooms with r ich mosaic floors and whichh painted a ve walls: evidently s v e small ob b s e e e r n ve ga m th azy andon part of the room is a very handsome mosaic floor On Monday, the '2oth inst., his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge arrived at Wil (3'S White Horse Hotel, Leeds, After inspecting his Regiment at the Barracks, he returned to the Hotel, and proceeded to London the follow ing morning. Last week, during a violent storm, which burnt over Rennes and its environs, a peasant named Regnault, re siding in the commune of Phelan, took refuge under an oak. Scarcely had he reached the spot when the electric flitid struck the tree. At the noise of the thunder a young girl, who had been at work with Regnault, ran to the tree also to seek an asylum; but, on arriving at the spot, she was horror struck at seeing the unfortunate man standing upright against the tree, with his eyes protruding, his mouth wide open, and giving no sign of life. She hurried off for assistance; hut when a medical man arrived, he found that the man was quite dead. The electric fluid had struck him on the head, piercing two small holes through his straw hat, as if made by musket balls. The hair on the back part of his head was completely s nged. A cow, standing amongst a herd, fifty metres from Regnault, was also struck dead at the same titre. the ConNtituciona/ of Barcelona, of the Bth instant says :—" The Municipal Council addressed on the 21st ult. to the-Cortes a protest against the Bill relating to theorganization o f th e mun icipalities, as well as against that concerning provin •ial deputations. lelippo, who some time ago made an at tempt against the Government at Urdax with 60 men, has now a band of 200 under his command.

The saint paper says they are to undergo their punishment in the citadel of Bouillon. #/2 . _ in black and white. This palace, of which these ruins formed but a very inconsiderable portion, extended to a great distance, covering a large space of ground; it was among a part of its remains that the famous statue of Apollo Belvidere, and many of the. chef-d'oeuvres which now adorn the Vatican, were feund e but the spot where they were discovered has since been filled up; the rains that remain have only been excavated within a short space of time. Having satisfied our cu -1 riosity, we went to the inn where we met the officer wehe had called our attention to the place 3 we found him a very pleasant, well-informed man, a native of Ravenna a he invited us to the barracks to show us some drawings; and sketches he had made, which were indeed very ere-- ,ditable • he pointed out some very beautiful views to which he thought we might like to sketch, particularly a very extensive one from his room window. To the left lay Nettuno, a very picturesque little town bordering the sea, with a small fort of the middle ages ; beyond, and extending to a considerable distance, lay a beautiful Ike of majestic mountains, spotted with the small towns at Norma, Sermonetta, and Sezza—the shore, continuing from Nettuno, runs on towards Terraeina, and is entirety uncultivated and deserted. Formerly the shore was covered with gorgeous palaces, villas, and temples ; and at Nettuno, was a magnificent temple of Neptune, from which it took its name, and time foundations of which are still visible. More to the right, lay the famous promon tory of Circe, rising like an island (which it formerly was) from the sea. It was here the fametts sorceress Circe had her habitation, and where she turned, by her incantations, men and women into animals. If ever there were a beau ideal of an enchanted spot, it is this: it rises like magic on the horizon of the sea ; and when we be held it, was of a light purple mixed with a warmer tint from the reflection of the sun mi its crags, Below it, and in the fimreground, lies the pier, arsenal, and part of the town of Porto d'Anzio. One would little imagine, to look at this small insignificant town, that it was the site of the once famed city, the birth-place of - Nero and Ca ligula, abounding in luxury, wealth, and magnificence. and into whose port, vessels brought their riches from all parts of the th en c i v ili se d wor ld. Th ere are st ill re mains, in the sea, of the famous mole built by Trajan, and which, from the slight relics that still remain, give an idea of its immense strength and greatness. All these objects combined together in one view, the splendid of ee of the broad blue ocean, a vast mass of bright azure% bordered by a picturesque shore, and spntted here anti there with massive remains of Roman antiquity, which. from the reflection of the afternoon's eun, assumed that rich golden tint so peculiar to the se - Muth, gave retch an effect which I shall never forget. We then proceeded leisurely to Nettuno by a road bordering the bay, linger ing to view the beautiful effects which- the island, or ra ther promontory of Circe assumed as the sun stink or sketching Nettuno as it presented itself in different points of view. lam surprised that the scenery romid the bay has not been more represented by landscape painters ; what fine subjects there are for Callcott, Col lins, or Turner ! We had remained so long on our road that we did not arrive in Nettuno until the sun had set ; but we had just time to look about the town, which, with the exception of the picturesque costume of the women, and its fortress, has nothing particularly remarkable in it. Having retired to rest at the leeanda, we rose neat morning at four o'clock, and set off for Albano, where we arrived about half-past twelve, after a very hot ride of twenty-four miles ; and after dining, set off iu a vei ture to Rome, which we reached at seven o'clock the evening, having performed a journey which Tory few make, as it cannot be done without going on feet, and is not unattended with danger.
