was the smallestdhiliavocwiththeattendance
at the this
season, only half a dozen member s of the club taking pert
in the twelve XI sweepstakes which were got through.
Mr. Gregory was handicapped at 21 yards; Capt. Talbot
and Mr. Davis at 26 each. Mr. Dillwyn 251, and Captain
Nisbett and Mr. Battcock severally at 25, and upon the
usual principle winners went back a yard each time. The
first affair with shooters was divided by Captain Nisbett
and Mr. Dill wyn, and the second with six subscribers was
cut up between Mr. Dill wyn and Mr. Gregory at the fifth
bird. In the two next Mr. Dillwyn was absolutely suc-
cessful, bringing down his three birds in each ; and the
fifth and sixth were carried off by Captain Talbot. The
departure of Mr. Dillwyn left only five gentleman to com-
pete in the seventh handicap, which was sharad by Mr.
Davis and Captain Nisbett, and an equal arrangement was
then mule between Mr. Battcock and Captain 'Talbot.
Captain Nisbett had the ninth all to himself at the finish,
and Mr. Battcock picked up the " fiver" in the tenth, Mr.
Gregory repeating the performance in the eleventh, and
dividing the last with Captain Nisbett. Tho birds were
supplied by John Offer, King-street, Hammersmith, and,
being swift and strong, gave general satisfaction.

The following htter appeared in the Round Table
of June 22 :

"A fresh, charming i.tory of 'o►uestic lire, in which the
reader will find perfect pleasure. The toue of the novel is
admirable."— Star.

Sir,—A. brief notice, under the general heal
" Literariana," in a late issue, refers to the article
in the Edinburgh Review, April quarter, on " North
American Archaeology." I have not now the paper
in the Review, but have seen an article from the
Spectator on the same subject. It is well something
has transpired to awaken public interest to the im-
portant branch of scientific inquiry embraced under
the head "American Archaeology." Perhaps some-
thing may grow out of this foreign movement. Oar
people often require foreign stimulus to urge them
into the path of duty.

The subject of " American Archaeology" has been
presented again and again by its special friends, but
no action—nothing promising satisfactory results—
could be effected. A general apathy pervaded the
public as well as the scientific bodies. The Ameri-
can Ethnological Society, under the able lead of the
late Rev. Dr. Hawks, presented a course of lectures
with the view of popularising the subject. The
gentleman selected to deliver this course, Dr. W. De
Hass, has devoted years of close application to care-
ful research in the great Mound-field, West and
South-west. The results of his explorations and
observations were given at the Historical Society's
hall with great satisfaction to those who at-
tended. The American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science, regarding the subject
in its right light and properly appreciating its im-
portance, appointed a commission on archaeology
and ethnology. The special committee consisted of
Dr. Wills de Mass, of Virginia, chairman ; Prof. S.
S. lialderman, Pennsylvania ; Prof. P. T. Tyson,
Maryland ; Prof. G. S. Swallow, Missouri, and Dr.
Gibbon, North Carolina. The commission did
active work until suspended by the war. It how-
ever, was constantly embarrassed for want of funds.
Explorations are expensive, and the " sinews of
war" were not at command. The commission
laboured under difficulties, but struggled onward,
accomplishing much, until interrupted by the hor-
rors of civil war. With the return of peace it was
hoped operations would ho resumed. A variety of
causes have prevented steady and vigorous prose-
cution of the work. The indefatigable chairman
has embraced every opportunity to continue explo-
rations, but the constant want of means has much
retarded operations. He has been compelled to
rely mainly on his own resources. Is this right ?
Is it just ? Is it the way to promote scientific
research ? _

Notwithstanding all these difficulties, I repeat,
much has been accomplished. A large number of
tumuli have been examined ; the mural works—cir-
cumvallations, forts, &c.—have been carefully and
accurately measured and described ; a fine collection
of specimens of ancient art—stone, bone, fictilia,
copper, &c. &c.—has been made ;an archwolcgical
map, locating all the principal earth-works in the
valley of the Mississippi and subordinate valleys,
constructed, and much miscellaneous labour done ;
all greatly adding to our hitherto limited stock of
antiquarian knowledge.
Shall these explorations, so favourably and satis-
factorily commenced, cease ? If not, how are they
to be continued ? The Government, ever ready to
squander millions on shoddy politics and all sorts of
impracticable schemes, neglects to promote these ex-
plorations. The Peabody fund, named through the
munificence of that gentleman, for investigations in
American archaeology and ethnology is not avail-
able, or at least has not been made so. What, then,
is to ba done ? Perhaps the only hope is through
the extraneous aid of societies and individuals.

If we hesitate much longer a foreign commission
will step in and do the work for us. The proposi-
tion to the learned societies of Great Britain will
undoubtedly be acted on unless we push promptly
forward. Such a result would be in the highest de-
gree disgraceful to our Government and discredit-
able to us as an intelligent and cultivated people.
Let us strive to avert this stigma from us. Even
the semi-barbarians of Mexico and the tropical
States manifest sufficient interest in their vast and
mysterious remains to have them in a measure ex-
plored and described and their relics of art collected.
What have we done toward forming a national
museum ? How much longer shall we remain be-
hind our half-informed neighbours ? How much
longer continue so immeasurably behind the en-
lightened Governments and peoples of Europe ?
These are sober questions, and those who sufficiently
appreciate them would do well to give them duo
consideration .
It is quite amusing to notice the ignorance pre-
vailing abroad (and, indeed, I may say at home)
about American antiquities. The writers of both
the articles already referred to speak of " silver,
lead, iron, brass, bronze, vitrified iron ore," &c.,
&c., as.among
,the contents of the mounds. This
is all purely fabulous. Not a particle of any of the
metals or alloys named has ever been found in
ancient American tumuli, in a manufactured state
or original deposits. The great stone-cased mound
in Illinois is apochryphal. The monument ("Mork
mound," on the American bottom) is sufficiently
interesting and important as it stands without
adding any fictitious value. The group of mounds
of which this is chief den.and the attention of ex-
plorers. There are about fifty within view of this
giant of the plain, some elliptical and others paeri-
form, the more important of which claim prompt
attention, as the Vandal spirit of the age is fast con-
signing them to destruction. I hope this matter
will properly commend itself to the liberality and
intelligence of the scientific public. The present
season should not be permitted to pass without the
prosecution of extended research. If we have not
enlightenment and liberality enough at home, then,
by all means, let the foreign commission come on.
It is painful to see some of the finest pre-historic
monuments yield to the encroachment of modern
civilisation without an effort to save. Let us have
these works carefully examined and described, and
then,- if consigned to de,struction, we will have a
faint outline of their former grandeur.
