7'RIESTE.

rieste is 'divided into two parts•; the old town,
the ,streets of xv- hich are crooked and narrow, and
the new, the streets of which are well constructed.
Boih have fortifications to proited them from an at-
tack by sea. The mole, -however, . dues not suffici-
ently prote& the 'harbour against waves and tern-
pests. There are four remarkable buildings tit ,
Trieste; they have established a gymnasium, a
school for. the higher branches of education, and one
for navigation.
In October, 1801, the city of Trieste contained
1210 houses, and 23,356 inhabitants. It contains
a number of manufadories, among which are those
for making oil, rossoglio, and refined sugar : the red
Turkey dye, and the. manufaEture-of cotton, are the
most important. Of rossoglio they make of the
yearly value of s or 600,000 florins, There ale also
four places for ship building. .The situation. of.
Trieste is extremely favourable for commerce. -An
excellent road opens a- communication with Vienna,
and the interior of the Austrian Monarchy. It is in
the vicinity of Carniola, where the Save _and the
Drave,. which wash Sclavonia and Bofnia, have their
source. Dalmatia, Naples, and the lonian
are not many days sail from it. In short, Trieste-has
a speedy communication with Lombardy by the arms
of the Po, which discharges itself by the mouth of
Goro, therefore this city is the centre of the Austrian
c.pmmerce: In its free port 6000 vessels of different
nations yearly arrive. Germany sends thither her
linen, her cloths, toys, and wax works; Austria,
in particular, sends glass work, iron, steel, and
quicksilver. The principal imports consist in oil,
Spanish wool, and colonial produce. During late
years the importations have been estimated at ten
millions of florins, and the exportations at nine.—
The city being confined in a very narrow space, all
the inhabitants who are employed in trade or navi-
gation, the labourers, who are employed-to load and•
unload the vessels, and the Carts which convey the
goods, all concentrate upon the quays, and the port
thereby presents a most 'animated spectacle. The
Italian language prevails here. There is a fine
Theatre, where Comedies and Operas are exhibited.
The mountains which surround Trieste are agreeably
cultivated; they produce olives, grapes, and. fruit
trees of every kind. The cultivated spots form an
agreeable spedacle, reclining from the summit of
the mountain to the valley. The ground is light and
reddish ; it_ must be. supported by banks against the
water. Industry and patience have created gardens
and orchards throughout. -

HEASCHELIAN PLANET.—A person eminent for
science, in a letter dated the 18th ult. from Bury,
in Sufic)lk, says--" It may be of some interest to
your readtrs, who attend to the celestial pheno-
mena,
to know, that the Herschelian planet was •
powerfully visible last night, about a quarter before
nine. It was about 5 deg. west of the Moon and
Spica. It was in the field of my night-glass, which
takes in 8. deg, with the Moon, but perfectly dis-
tinct notwithstanding her lustre. It appeared very
like the nucleus of the Comet of 1807„ in apparent
diameter, only far less brilliant. Its height, how-
ever, is very surprising, considering its diameter is
only about 30,000 miles, and its distance near
2,000,000,000. .kt must, from some cause, give
light far indeed superior to Saturn or Jupiter. In-
deed, these three remote planets would, I think,
none of them be so conspicuous, if theif light were
not, by some means, increased, to compensate for
their distance. The very quick rotation of the vast
orb of Jupiter may possibly excite ele&rical light in
a superior degree. It is remarkable how great the
absence of Solar Spots has been for near these two
years. I have hardly_ ever been able to see any
within that time."
With 'what were before at Portsmouth, the late
arri‘als will make the number of French prisoners
there about 20,000. There are now about 90,000
French prisoners in this kingdom.
