A new translation of nomiia's hits just
appeared, in France, front thesen of AL D,..GAI-
MONTBEL. 'rile critics place it e‘aw•iderably above.
the translations of DAcinr., BITAUBE, or LEBRUN,
but say that it is rather•free front the faiths of its
-rivals, than remarkable for any striking beeuties. .
It is in prose. These repeated translations of

It is 'notorious, that no persons are more ex-
. posed to depredation in this great tt•:etropolis than
sailors, anditiore particularly those who•are igno-
rant of the language and customs of our country ;
but it is not so' generally known that in addition
to the other abuses- which are practised upon' theat
in theit' place 4 of resort, they are occasionally made
to pay, by certain harpies, for •getting,thein into
au hospital ! ! An instance of it has very recently
beenfliscovered at the London Hospital, and a
charge, on-this. account of no less than two potoniv,

We are happy to bear, ;kat ..informaiion has been
given of the fact iii a proper quarter, and, we
trust, thespiailtc authorities will always. attend to
such representations. The houses fp,eqttented by
sailors would seem 'to stand in lived Of inneh vigi-
lance and regulation ; the resident officers of
hospitals would assist materially in :epressing an
