Mr. FLAXMAN, on Monday evening, g2ve e his se-
cond Lecture on Sculpture. He oh.erved, that this
art may Fe traced back to the earliest periods, as
is evident in the Bible, where, n the Book of Exodui,
it is stated, that it was not only employed k.r pur-
poses of Idolatry, but, by the Divine Command,
was used in order to give efficacy and force to ob-
jects intended for mire devotion. The Professor then
directed his attention to the progress of Sculpture in
Egypt, and offered many striking arguments and
il-
lustrations, to prove that it was in that country al-
ways connected with religious purposes, according.to
the prevailing mytholop,y. Mr. FLAXMAN occasto.
nally th:erted to the improvements which the art had
derived from Greece, but recurred to the Egyptian
style of Sculpture, and evinced great histottcal re-
search, as well as deep reflection and probable infe-
rence. It should be observed, to the honour of Mr.
FLAXMAN, that a spirit of religious fervour, devoid of
All fanaticism, breathes tlarough his discourses, and
while he descants on the heautit-s of Art, he never'
loses sight of the great Author of Nature. The room
was crowded with Students and Amateurs. A large
portion of the Academic Body were present, and.in
the absence of the President, Mr. Miumit to4ic the
Chair, to which his professional merits, theoretical
and practical, gave him full pretensions.

A poor wool-comber, at Bradford, was with
lately suffocated, in consequence of leaving chArcaal
burning in the room wliere ihey slept.

The value of Dr. FREEMAN'S GOTTA SALUTARIS
has been so long proved, that nothing of the present
day can bear a competition with it, in all the diffe-
rent stages of a certain disease, which it effectually
cures and eradicates from the habit, without exciting
the painful feelings and exposure that attends saliva-
tion—without debilitating the constitution in any de.
tree, or even requiring confinement from business or
restriction of diet. The radical virtues of these ines-
timable Drops have proved their claim to pub! c Pap-
probation for more than SO years. In all the debility
of both sexes they prove a never-failing restorative— ;
whether the debility is produced by too free use of
mercury, by illicit pleasures, or the effects of a warm
climate To travellers and those going abroad, they
cannot be recommended too strongly, as they will re-
ceive a safe, speedy, and complete cure, in all old
stubborn gleets, and every weakness that areas the
bladder and organs of urine. By" its efficacy many
women have become mothers, who for many years
had been deprived of that happiness.—Sold wholesale
