ROIL A Canr
The Cl si of 141‘y was a itllfy of %lacing for all the ensui....
and *Wad at Brocia,-;usklaghly Interesting to the inhabitants of
'that Sty. len a dettgbbiparlng hill there has stood from time Immo_
'modal a lirge marble column, and there was a tradition that it
belonged to a great temple of Hercules, which had stood there in
remote antiquity. For these two years past the Magistrates have
caused excavations to a great extent to be made on the spot, the
result of which confirmed the truth of the tradition. From time
to time important monuments of ancient architecture and Roman
Inscriptions were brought to light, and everything indicated that a
Most extensive edifice had stood there. At length the foundations
of an immense temple were uncovered, with entrances to several
covered passages. These were examined, and on the day &Dime-
mentioned the workmen found to one-of them several niches, walled
up. They were opened, atd in one of them was found a colossal
winged Victoria, of bronze, and of admirable workmanship ; in
another, six large busts, one of them representing Faustinal the con.
sort of Marcus Aurelius, and a highly ornamented breastplate of a
horse ; in a third and fourth, a richly gilt statue, 4i feer high, of
a captive King, and a colossal arm : all these are likewise of bronze,
and of fine workmanship. There are also s al inscriptions in
the building, one of which mentions the Brine Romano: The eyes
of the King, and of the Victoria, are of onyx. They are all in perfect
preservation; and from the situation in which they were found, it is
evident that they were concealed and walled up for stvitlty, for
both the wings and arms of the Victoria were taken uff and laid at
her feet.

FRANK FORT, AuansT 16.

Ilis Excellency Ciutit Bernstorff, Nlinister of State to his Majesty
the King of Prussia, arrived here yesterday from Et' les. General
Count Araktsehejeff, Commander in Chief of the Military Colonies
in Russia, arrived here last night.

A Morning Paper has for some months been loud in
its denunciations against the Government of Lord CHAS.
SOMERSET, at the Cape of Good Hope. Lord CHARLES
came home, a Parliamentary enquiry was set on foot,
and the result is an entire acquittal of any thing like
abuse of the important interests entrusted to his Lord-
ship's administration.

T.re Report on Emigration has appeared in our two
last publications.-Itrobject is beyond all praise, at a time
like the present, recommending, in voluntary emigra-
tion, a foster-home to thousands of poor creatures,
who may, from circumstances over which nn Admi-
nistration, however wise, can have cuntroul, be soon
exposed to all the privations of want and misery.—
The Report forcibly observes, that the parishes would
find great benefit from making advances for this pur-
pose, as it would reduce the number of permanent pau-
pers. Tbis would be particularly applicable to England ;
but in' Ireland there are no poor rates, and therefore,
recourse, it is remarked, should be had to local taxes,
to ; rovide the means of Emigration. If such means
were provided, no doubt thousands would cheerfully
emigrate from Ireland and Scotland.

An Appeal on behalf of the unemployed Le!•er-
press Printers appears in the first page. It is a modest
and sensible statement of the distressed situation of a
class of individuals, who, either in reference to the
important benefits conferred on their fellow-men,
through their instrumentality, or their general de-
meanour., deserve all the sympathy that can be be-
stowed upon them by an enlightened and generous
people. We trust that our brother Editors, in every
quarter of the globe where the Press may have shed its
immortal influence, will plead the cause of Letters and
of Liberty, and promptly support the prayer of its suf-
fering administrators.

DESTROYING DRUMM—There are at present a RUM-
bar of fellows prowling at night-time between Drury-
lane and the Haymarket, and in fact in various parts of
Westminster, for the purpose of destroying the dresses,
particularly of well-dressed females, by cutting them,
and sometimes their persons, with a sharp instrument,
or daubing their clothes over with pitch and tar. Silks
and foreign shawls are the chief objects of their destruc-
tion. The Police and watchmen, we hope, will be on
the alert, and endeavour to discover such miscreantsfand
take them into custody, to be dealt with according to law.
