ANTIOCH OF PISIDIA._.The remains of this
once important city have been recently discovered, beyond
dispute, by the Rev. Mr. Arundell. Although it was at the
Syrian Antioch that Paul and Barnabas commenced their high
mission, yet as it was at Antioch of Pisidia that they first
preached to the Gentiles, the latter city must of course be
deeply interesting to the Christian world. Mr. Arundell, who
has made various other important discoveries, was for a long
period chaplain at Smyrna, and availed himself of the oppor-
tunities he possessed to make these important accessions to
sacred geography.

A young woman applied, last week, at one of the
magistrates' offices in this county, for relief for her mother,
who, she said, had been blind three weeks from the " apple
disorder 1" This account not being intelligible, she was re-
quested to enlighten their worships' clerk, when she explained
that she was not quite sure of the attack, but was told it was
the apple-ixy. It soon appeared that the simpleton meant
apopkxyl.—Taunton Courier.

COUNT WORONZOW S ELOCKS.---TIIC Russian
General Count Woronzow, the Governor of Southern Russia,
has lately purchased in the Marches of Holstein, and the
neighbourhood, a large flock of sheep. He already possesses
about 3,000 Merinos, but their wool is found to be too fine and
roft for his purposes, and his object is by crossing the breed, to
obtain a species of wool better calculated than that of the Me-
rinos to supply a strong, durable, second cloth. The flock he
has now purchased consists of 2,000 ewes and 250 wedders of
the best Schleswick Holstein race, and the flock began its
march about a fortnight ago. As it passed through the villages
for its long journey of more than 300 German miles, or nearly.
1,500 English miles, it excited general interest. It is accom-
panied by a proportionate number of shepherds and dogs, and
by overseers on horseback and in carriages. The flock is pre-
ceded by a tent-like carriage completely covered with oil-
cloth, in which there are a great number of things necessary
for the traveller, and which affords the leader of the whole
ample protection, and supplies him with a comfortable resting
place. The procession is closed by another carriage, excel-
lently adapted for the reception of such of the flock as may fall
sick or lame by the way. The march of so many sheep, ac-
companied in this manner, excites a great deal of curiosity and
interest in those villages through which it passes.—German
Papers.
THE HOLYHEAD-ROAD AND MENAI-BRIDGE.—
( From the Mechanics' Magazine. )—The following eloquent
tribute to the merits of these great works appears in the dedi-
cation to Mr. Telford of the work of which we have just
quoted, on the navigation of the Shannon, by Thomas Steele,
Esq.

Sir,— " Ennis, County of Clare, April, 1828.
On the evening when I took my seat as an associate
member of the Institution of Civil Engineers, I signed in your
presence a declaration that I would always, to the utmost of
my Power, endeavour to promote the objects for which the so-
ciety had been founded ; and I now, without at all identifying
you with my politics, beg permission to dedicate to you the
following pages ; that at the same time, when I make an
humble effort to fulfil my pledge to the institution, I may, as an
Irishman, have the gratification of publicly expressing my sense
of the benefit you have conferred on my country, by increasing
ns of Wales,
to the extent you have increased it the rapidity of communi-
cation between Ireland and England. In the progress of your
work, Sir, for drawing the two countries by so many hours
nearer to each other than they were before, you have not only
formed one of the most magnificent roads in the world over the
mountains
but you have suspended in the midway
air—not over a river, but over a portion of the mighty deep
!tself--4 monument to your genius, harmonizing with the ob-
jects around, beneath, and on high : for, like the ridge of the
Cambrian Mountains, the ocean-tide, and the firmament of
heaven,

" This new wondrous Pontaliee unhoped,'*
the bridge over, the billows of the Menai, is sublime 1"
