THE SARcommius.—This celebrated
in relique
of remote antiquity, of which we gave an account our raper
of Monday last, taken from that respectable Journal the Morn-
ing- Post of that day, has been the subject of genersl conversa-
tion since it-has been -knewn to have been purchased by Mr.
SOANE, the patriotic view of preventing it from being. re-
moved. front this country. Dr. CLARKE, the well-known
traveller, we understand, is of opinion -that a mass of AtA-
IIASTErt of such extraordinary magnitude, without reference
to its antiquity, is worth at least 3,000/., but, in justice
to Mr. SoANIE, it should be stated that he bought it on
account of its rare antiquity, and with no view to profit,
nor would it be in the least surprising if he were to pre-
sent it to the British Government, as a most interesting ad-
dition to our National treasures. We believe that there is no
country in Europe which would not be proud of possessing
such a rarity, and that the Emperor of RUSSIA, in particular,
would rejoice to obtain it, if it were possible to purchate it from
the liberal and patriotic individual who is now its proprietor.

Monday being the Anniversary of the Corona-
tion of his Most Faithful Majesty JOHN VI.,
King of Portugal, Brazil, and Alga rves, a solemn
re Deurn, or hymn of thanksgiving to Almighty
God, for the anniversary of his Majesty's Ascen-
sion to the Throne of his Ancestors, was cele-
brated at the Portuguese Chapel, in South-street,
May-fair. There were -present at the service,
the Austrian, Spanish, Bavarian, Russian,French,
.and Portuguese Ambassadors. Two Roman Ca-
tholic, Bishops, and a number of Clergymen, were
within the sanctuary. The service was very im-
pressive. The Chapel was crowded with fa-
shionables, and a number of the Nobility of the
Established Church, and others were present.
Upon the retirement of Lord BEXLEY •(then
Mr. VANSITTART) from the office of Chancellor of the Ex.
chequer, the Corporation of the Borough of Harwich, that his.
name might still honour their body, and as a mark of their re-
spect for his services to the town, solicited his acceptance of the
office of High Steward, which he in a most handsome manner
acceded to. To assure the Corporation on his part of his con-
tinued attachment to them, his Lordsbip has been pleased to
present to them an elegant full length pbrtrait of himself, in
his robes as Chancellor of the Exchequer. It is a most excel.
lent likeness; and will shortly be placed in the Town Hall as
a memento of as virtuous and honourable a character as ever
graced the British Senate:

Yesterday.-forenoon the boys of Cit ist's Hos-
pital, in number:about 660, walked from thence in procession
to the Royal Exchange, where they fell out of rank, and each
walked about with his friends, from whom they received
presents of fruits and sweetmeats ; at one o'clock they
again formed into procession, and headed by their mas-
ters,. tlzey proceeded to the Mansion House, where they
were admitted to see the Egyptian Hall, with the ornaments
and decorations as fitted up for the grand dinner of the
preceding. day ; after- which they returned with their beadles
and nurses through the great saloon, where the Lord Mayor,
Recorder, Chamberlain, Sheriffs, and several Aldermen, were
-seated, in their robe- of office, with the Lady Mayoress and
several other,Ladiei,, Each of the boys then received a plum-
c-ake and a glass of port wine, and a shilling or a sixpence, ac-
cording to their respective merits. After this ceremony, his
lerdship, the Sheriff's, Aldermen, &c. &c., after partaking of
an elegant cold collation, went in. state procession to Christ
Church, Newgate-street, to hear the Spital Sermon by the Rev.
Samuel Crowther, M.A. _

ClvtLizaTtos.—On Thursday forenoon, the
body of a man named WILSON, who has been missing for up-
wards of a month, was found in a pond in a garden near the
Quarry-holes, on the Eastern Road to Leith. It has not been
Ascertained, as far as we have heard, whether the unfortunate
man had come by his death through accident or otherwise. A
remarkable opposition to the removal of the corpse was shown
I.by the person on whose property it was found. Ile attempted to
detain the body till the relatives made good the injury sustain-
ed in consequence of the influx of curious persons into ins pre-
mises.—( Edinburgh Observer.)
In the neighbourhood of Stannington, near
M'orpeth, a few days ago, a hawk made a dart
amongst a brood of young chickens, to take his
tithe;' but the hen seized him before he could
escape with his prey, and kept him down until a
boy, ran to the spot and captured him.—(Carlisle
Journal,)
