WORKS OF ANCIENT ART.

Subjoined is a list of the works of art belonging to
the Papal Government, which were taken from Rome
by the French in 1797, and carried to Paris. Besides
these, five hundred manuscripts were taken from the
Vatican Library. The Vatican Museum was also de-
spoiled of medal., prints, cameos, and Christian anti-
quities, indei,endently of the valuable articles surren-
dered under the armistice previous to the Treaty of To-
lentino. In the year 1815 these works of art were re-
stored to Rome; and by the Treaty of Paris, 251,4.98
francs were placed at the disposal of Canova, for the
defraying the costs of such removal.

Wednesday a boatman of the name of Brown, of
Southampton, sailed his boat against a boat belonging
to llit)le, of lichen, for a bet, which excited some little
ilit,:cet among the watermen. They started horn the
buoy off the quay to the buoy off Ilamble Point, and
back again, but ere Brown's boat had reached opposite
Sir Arthur Paget's house, Dible was going round the
buoy off Ramble, when the former immediately tacked
alitl came up the water in front of his opponent. At
starting, it was a 74 gun ship to a punt in favour of
llible's boat, which proved a very excellent sailer.—,
ii: Or. n's boat is a good sailer, and would have contested
every inch of ground—tuates we should say---had she
been properly rigged for a match, but this her owner
Lad unaccountably neglected.
