HONouRP.O take the liberty of handing to you
the Inclosed paper, - which I picked up a few days ugone near
the King's Bench Prison. Nut being a sabolard, 1 shewedlit
first to my wife, she thought it contained awkwardish sort of
matter, which frighted we a deal, being as you know a
hard working quiet mun. I next chewed it to our Parish
Clerk, who advised me to have it copied fair and sent to yoia,
us a well-known loyal Gentleman. I fear now there way be
some mistake, as these here sort of things are too load to
folks of our humble calling—so no tuore at present from,

LITERATURE.

MacArtiKA. Nov. 19.--la order to relieve the
indigent classes, his ,Majesty (the Emperor of
Austria) has commanded extraordinary 141)Ours iu
all places I woere there may be found vestiges of
Ancient monuments. A Commission, composed
of engineers and men of learning, has been
created for this purpose : Among the number are
Several Professors pi Ilse University of Padna,
and the Chief of our Hellenists, the learned Li-
brarian of Venice., His Majesty has appointed
a fund for part of the expences the rest will be
borne by the Commune which will enjoy the
utonuments. This project of restoring the an-
cient monuments will be advantageous to the
Arts, and also for these countries, by exciting the
interest of travellers. We owe the idea to ling-
speculators, who wanted to farm largc,dis.
trims in Capo.d'istria and elsewhere, its order to
derive profit from them.

is condemned to pf,y between 8,000 and 10,000

must comply with this demand; roe it she should
give in her resignation, no other theatre would
engage her." On reading 1101, most persons will
perhaps exclaim with the honest gni ye- igg er,
