A Method of constructing Bee-hives of yWood . , to resist the severest Cold.—So many are the in , clnvt:;:iencs connected with, using 1!v-hiveL 4; 4 7 straw, that apiarians have had recourse to wood in constructing them, with considerable advan tage. But they may be so made as to resist the cold during winter, and the beat of summer, with out thatching. Let us suppose a hive made of wood, - of whatever _shape, is twelve inches dia meter ;. then, let another hive of the same mate rial be made two, or two and a half inches larger ; place the one within the other, and fill up the space left by the difference of size with poWdered charcoal hard rammed down ; nail a fillet of wood at the bottom, to connect the two hives, and to prevent any of the charcoal falling out, or (lamp ascending through the coating, which would destroy, in some measure, its non : - conducting power. The bee-door edges must be secured in the same manner. By this plan you have (out of sight) a non-conductor more powerful than straw, at all times possessing its - non-conducting property, which the straw only has when dry ; and no harbour made for vermin of any kind. It is proper here to state that great care must be taken to have the charcoal put into its place in as dry a state as possible. if char , coal cannot be procured, any other non-con ductor of heat may be used, as dry saw-dust, chopped straw, feathers, &c.; but the charcoal is to he preferred, not only as better suited from its most powerfully resisting the . transmission cf heat, but as less liable to absorb moisture, and so destroying that power. As the coating prevents the transmission of the internal heat of the, in. : . sects in summer, this will tend to raise the tem perature too high for_ the health of thebees. Thisinconvenience may be obviated by a small perfOration made through the entire hive at one of the corners immediately under the pro jecting part of the roof. To prevent any qt . _ the charcoal being moved, a tube . must be inserted as long as the thickness of the entire hive, and a plug made to fit it of the same length ; and when the ventilation is used, care must be taken that no light be per- ceptible by the insects, which may be effected by partially withdrawing the plug, or hanging over the hole, at a little distance from the outside of the hive, a, piece of black cloth. Perhaps two such ventilating holes may be required, but eN perience must determine this. The doublehives now recommended may be used by those who think them too heavy, merely as cases for the hives Which may be in use ; removing the covers Or cases when any operation is to be performed on the hive.

" '&llE—While your paternal visit to this part of your Ma jesty's dominions is calling forth the loudest expressions of loyalty from all classes of a warm hearted people, permit us to embrace the happy occasion to present; _at the foot of the Throne,. renewed assurances of the heartfelt gratitude, the de voted homage, and the warmest love (..f more than a hundred Christian congregations, containing nearly two hundred thou sand loyal subjects. Yes, Sire, without splendour and pomp and pageantry, to which we make no peetensions, we come, in the simplicity of our hearts, with the noblest offering a people can bring, fidelity that has never ,beer.'shaken, and attachment to the House of Brunswick and tlesAtoib Constitution, that has never been impaired—which may be augmented by your au gust presence, but which require not euch, excitement to pro duce or to perpetuate - them, because not the momentary hn pulse of feeling, but an integral part of of.ir Christianity. " These your Majesty's munificent patronage must secure, even did we not, as in truth we do, reverence your royal per son, and support your throne, from reprd to the highest the supreme authority of " The King of Kings," who has united, in one sacred mandate, the fear of himself and the honour of the King; but destitute, should we be, of the characteristic feelings of Irishmen, and devoid of well-merited gratitude—did not our bosoms glow with the universal enthusiasm—and did we not hail, with our loudest and warmest- acclamations, the Illustrious Visitant of our shores ? Yes,.Si re , we h a il your Ma jesty's arrival as a high honour done to our country, as well as to the harbinger of happier days than have yet dawned over Ire land. It will shed a gleam of the brightest radiance upon her history, and be, to use the words of, the inspired Monarch, "As the light of the morning when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds—and as the clear shining-after rain." " When we considered, Sire, through what dangers Britain has been conducted, under the auspices of your venerated Father and your own, to the high eminence she holds among the nations of the world ; when we saw united, what the Ro man Poet imagined it impossible to combine ; when we saw the most splendid trophies of arms achieved, arts and sciences encouraged, and impartial -justice dispensed with a steady and inflexible, yet mild and parental !hand ; when we saw commerce, that makes the produce of every clime tributary to our convenience, extended and flourishing; when we saw em bodied in _diplomatic treaties, the freedom of Africa; and, above all, when we saw that Gospel which makes Britain what she is, cheering the remotest regions, and fertilizing the wastes of the world ; we felt that but one thing was wanting to com plete our honour and our happiness—the Uni on o f th e P eop l e . This glorious victory over our dissections, it was in reserve for your Majesty to achieve. It was left for your Royal visit to melt down our discords, and to congregate around the Throne, as the grand centre •of union—the full tide of the affection s o f the Irish population. This will compensate for the wrongs of ageS, and hallow, in - the affections of remotest posterity, the name of George the IVth. ; and future generations, after mourning over the miseries of Ireland, and deploring, as her worst curse, the disunion of her sons, w ill bl ess the Memory of the first of British Monarchs who visited her shores in peace, and whose presence united her people in harmony and love. ." Allow us to assure your Majesty that we shall feel it to be our ditty and our pleasure to promote, as we may have an op portunity, the incipient harmony—to inculcate obedience to the laws, and respett for the constituted authorities, as an essential ' part of Christian morality—and that our prayers shall continu ally ascend to ' Him by n-heen ign,' that your Throne may be established in righteousness,' and that you may receive hereafter, ' a kingdom that cannot- be moved,' and a crown of glory that fadeth not away.'

The Ballot to close at THE RETROSPECTIVE REVIEW, No. VII.* A new number of this interesting Periodical has just appeared, distinguished, like its prede cessors, by the tastefulness of its selections and the vigour and elegance of its original matter.— The plan and merits of this Review are now so generally known, that it would be a work of su pererogation to dilate upon them. We shall con tent ourselves with giving a brief account of the articles in the preSent Number, accompanied by one or two short extracts. One of the most im portant in length and interest is on The early Poetical Literature of Spain ; it is interspersed with a Nariety of curious, as well as beautiful ex tracts, translated with a spirit and freedom of versification which evidently displays the hand of a Master. The following short piece is from one of the Spanish Troubadores JOHN HAIR, Secretary. UNEQU'ALLED TRAVELLING TO • DOVER, DEAL RAMSGATE, MARGATE AND CANTERBURY. FOUL.

There is an excellent article on the autobio grophy of that self-idolator, BENVENUTO CET,- LINI, whose eccentric and ungovernable genius involved him in a succession of adventures, which would be considered as incredible in a Novel.—ln an article on the Prose Works of DRYDEN, there occurs the following elegant Critique on that great Author, which exhibits him in a point of view in which he has seldom been contemplated : FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE, OCT. 6. WHITEHALL, OCT. 6. The King arrived at Brussels on Thursday the 27th of last month, in good health.

BANKRUPTCY SUPERSEDED. TABLE ICE.—M. Hemptinne, of Brussels, has sliewn, that ice for summer use should be taken from the-river on a very cold day, and be exposed obi the following"night to the open air, till its tem perature is in equilibrio with the cold of the at mosphere. It should be then placed in the ice house;about 'six o'clock in the morning, when the air becomes warmer. In order to prove the. advantages of this method, he supposes that two ice-houses have been filled with ice at 32 degs., and the other with ice at 14 deg. When a sixth part of the ice at 32 deg. is melted, the ice at 11 deg. will be untouched, but its temperature will have risen to 32 deg. One .sixth part of the whole, therefore, has been saved by laying it up at a low temperature. R. Lambert, .Ardwick, near Manchester, cotton-manufac turer. BANKRUPTS. W.

" The style of Addison we would liken to a clear and tran sparent stream, whose motion is too gentle to ruffle the surface or sully the purity of its waters ; whilst that of Dryden has the impetuosity of a torrent, which often tears the weeds from its banks, and stirs up the ooze from the • bottom of its channel ; but that ooze is mixed with grains of precious gold, and those weeds contain amongst them flowers of the most delightful hue and odour; whilst the very swiftness of the current fixes our regard more intently than the tranquil surface of the gentler stream. He seems to have principally aimed at being strong and forcible, and' to this ob ject every minor consideration is . sacrificed. To use the lan guage of a noble poet, he wreaks his thoughts upon expression, and conveys them to the reader in the full force and energy of their first conception. He never appears to regard the mere structure of a sentence, nor is careful to wind it up in the neatest manner ; neither are here marks of any subsequent labour to polish and elaborate his style. We know indeed, that he has been at the pains to revise some of his prose works, but his cor rections are merely those of verbal inaccuracies, and ungram matical structures, which crept into the most finished writings •of that period ; but in general, he seems to have left his sen tences just as they were struck off in the first heat of composi tion. There are, in consequence, some that have been roughly cast, which look rude and unfinished ; sometimes there is a sharp edge, or abrupt projection, Which a more fastidious taste might wish to see planed down, or rounded off; and generally speaking, there is not that high polish, which is visible in the compositions of a later date, but all sense of this is lost in ad miration of that matchless strength and occasional felicity, which are seldom found associated with strict correctness and undeviating propriety. He is indeed the very reverse of that correct and' frugal genius which he somewhere describes—he is no judge, to a hair, of little decencies, nor afraid to hazard himself, so far as to fall—he does not move cautiously and care fully on, and deliberately put' his staff before him to feel his way—his motion is that of a giant, who delights to run his course, and exults in his strength—the elasticity of whose step, the firmness of whose tread, and the immortal vigour conspicu ous in every motion, leave no eyes for any ungraceful attitude, or occasional impropriety of gesture." Under the head of " The Early English Draia," there is a highly interesting account of kAIRISTO MIER MAR LO W, the precursor of SII SPEA RE, a critical examination of the whole of his works, and a number of extracts of extraordinary merit.

CANov...—This celebrated Sculptor is now at Passagno, his native place, superintending the building of a beautiful Church, (erecting at his Own expence), in honour of the Holy Trinity. It is said that it will in form resemble the Pan theon of Rome, and that, like the. Parthenon of Athens, it will be ornamented with a portico, the pillars of which will be of the same dimen sions as those of the Pantheon. The interior will be decorated with sacred sculptures of this great Artist, and will also contain a picture of his composition, representing a dead Christ. Passagno, at this moment, is a place of union for all foreigners. Canova is the father and bene factor of his native country, which (thanks to him) appears to have received new life. A short tithe - ago Passagno had no place on the geogra phical Aarts, and *now thi,, same name Owes th;' honour of being distinguished by particular marks in the charts of the State of Venice, to the cele brity of the man to whom she gave birth. At a future period the magnificent monument which is now erecting will be celebrated in history, and draw from the most distant i;ountries all that are friends to the Arts, and Religion. The popu lation already increases, and people's minds be come more cultivated and polished ; even now, before the edifice is. completed, a crowd of French and English flock from all quarters, Struck with . the novelty of the enterprise and the grandeur of the monument. They have been obliged to open two hotels here. EGYPTIAN ANTIQUITIES.—M. Tedenat, son of the French .Consul at Alexandria, well known for his discoveries in 'Upper Egypt, has landed at Marseilles with a valuable collection of anti quities from that celebrated region. He ascended to the first cataracts of the Nile, and visited the fainOus 'city . 14 ith a hundred gates. Ile has caused excavations to be made in the granite mountain in the vicinity of the. ruins of that place, Which is situated in the front of the great temple. He found remarkably fine mummies, and manuscripts on papyrus of exquisite bright ness, and in perfect preservation. It is supposed that finer specimens of the kind are not to be found in any collection in the world. It was on ,the mountain of Gourna that he procured the most precious relics. He had ,the singular good fortune to discover a thick rope (cable)„ made of the fibrous substances of the palm-tree, which had been used for the purpose of lowering into a pit the bodies of the rich, which were after wards deposited in catacombs 'hewn out of the granite side of the mountain, at the depth of 60 fathoms (brasses). These pits seemed des tined to conceal the tombs in the interior, and now, in order to get at them, it is necessary to hew away at random. The sepulchral chambers of Gourna present a work of the greatest perfec tion, with regard to the hieroglyphic figures, as well as to the bas-reliefs executed en saillie, which cover all the interior walls. Let us judge of the patience, the perseverance, the tools, and time talents of the Egyptian Artists who used to pe netrate to the very bowels of the earth to form everlasting monuments, and of the power and re sources of the Kings, who, not satisfied with hav ing raised those lofty pyramids which for many thousands of years have withstood the ravages of time and astonish us by their magnificence, have caused to be excavated a mountain of more than thirty leagues in extent for the purpose of depo siting mummies, and to vanquish as it were the immutable laws of nature, which have an uniform tendency to destroy the materiality of the body. The sequel of this interesting document has been suppressed by the Censors of the Press in France. The Vatican Library has lately received a con siderable addition of Egyptian Antiquities.— Among. these are ten epitaphs, one of which is of the seventh or eighthcentury. A more modern, and very interesting one, is of the twelfth cen tury, containing a genealogy, probably unique in its kind, of seventeen ancestors of the deceased in the direct ascending tine. The most remark able works of sculpture are-Ist, Three large sarcophagi of black basalt, bordered with hiero ..glyphicS. This very hard stone is wrought with almost incredible skill, both with respect to the design and precision of the chisel, The sarco phagi were the outside coverings of three 'coffi'ns, of sycamore wood, in which the bodies of enii tient persons were preserved. None of this kind have hitherto been seen in Rome. 2d. The col lossal head of a man, of red granite, covered with the usual sacred veil, resembling the Isis of the Capital, with ornaments in good preservation, painted in different colours ; it is pare of an entire figure, intended for the lid of a coffin. 3d. The figure of a Priest, clothed in a robe, and sitting on the ground, of whitish alabaster. 4th. The torso of an Egyptian 'Divinity, of an unknown and very beautiful kind of , marble. The work man-ship is in a very elegant style, and well pre served. sth. One of 'the large entire colosSuSes which stood at the gate of a temple at Comae, near Thebes, ornamented with a number of hiero glyphics, 18 palms high,., and mentioned in the great work of the French Institute upon 'Egypt.
