Sir HEN RY CHAS! BEREA IN, whose death has already'
been announced, had been appointed Consul at Lisbon, to which
place be would have proceeded some time since but for his illness.
The immediate cause of his death was an abscess in the groin.
arising however, it is said, from a simple operation upon a cora
which had been cut too deeply.
The epoch of Chatai, the most followed in China, rises
higher than eighty millions of years before our era. It is said
in &trope, that one must be mad to adopt such a Period i in Cigna
that one must be a fool to rejecrit. It is supposed that the
Chinese borrowed this period from the people of Thibet. AU
that can be said with certainty Is, that the Chinese are a people
of high antiquity. Their language and manner of writing prove
this better than any records.
