benefit.—(Morning Paper.)
B-ELzoNr.—lt most-be very gratifying to the
friends of genius to learn that the ancient treasures which this
adventurous traveller and excellent man brought from remote
and barbarous regions, comprised in the Egyptian Tomb, and
other remains of antiquity, have been very attractive among
persons of superior rank, who seem indeed to give the stamp of
fashion to the Exhibition which his amiable widow has sub-
mitted to the public. We regret, however, to hear that this
Exhibition is her only resource; for thouh- it is so successful
at present, it can hardly be expected to akbrd her a permanent
provision. BELZONI was so worthy a man, and he has brought
so many valuable works to this country, which, in a short time,
would probably have been lost to the world for ever, that some
testimony of respect ought to. be shown to the memory of such
a man, and the best that courd be offered would be a cowfort-
able provision for his widow, who, by all accounts; is a truly
estimable character. We are persuaded that if a due applica-
tion were made to Government some mark of liberality would
be extended to her, and would certainly have the full sanction
of our gracious and benevolent Sovereign. -
A terrible accident happened at Rennes on the
19th ult. As some soldiers of the garrison were preparing fire-
works for the celebration of the coronation, a spark fell on
the powder in the apartment. The explosion was dreadful._
The roof of the house was thrown across-the river, . the trees
of a public walk were torn up by the roots, the windows of
the neighbouring houses were shattered at the distance of 300
paces, and about tiO of the artillerymen were killed or wounded.
The bodies of four or five were buried under the ruins. Somel
were saved in an extraordinary manner, being thrown into tine'feet with slight injuries, in the neigh-
air, and alighting on their
boating river, in gardens, in 'the, streets, and on the tops of
arouses.
