CITY OF POMPEII.

The following is an extract of a letter from a young
tiustleinan, who has visited the ruins of Pompeii, to
bit friend at Liverpool :
PS This city is sitnated shout a quarter of a mile from
tbe bey of Naples. We entered the ruins through a gate
by the road side, into s bartack-yard, which appeared to
have been a fortress, and was, no doubt, at one period of
time, contiguous to the Mediterranean sea. -We were
here shown the original wooden storks in which a sol-
dier was found sitting on a stone with his legs fastened,
the unfortunate snarl being discovered by the workmen
employed to remove away the soil. Several pillars of
the Corinthian order still teinain, forming a dilapidated
reloutle, some of which are. tolerably entire, and ren-
dered parts. ularly interesting, by having the soldiers'
names v..ry legibly engraved thereon, in their own
:bawl-writing. We next inspected the two theatres, the
stage, orchestra, and seats, being still discernible, with
Mine broken particles of tl:e marble pavement. Not
fee thence is the Temple of Hercules. The skiers and
other relics of idolatrous superstition, as well u a va-
riety of fanciful coruices, and other architectural orna-
ments, still exist in a very wonderful state of preserva-
tion; even the original paintings on the walls are to
be seen without the least deterioration. We walked
khrough most of the principal streets into the houses,
Ilse floors of which were richly covered with Mosaic and
.Roman pavement. Over the front doors, carved on
stone, are all the names of their 1411011112 M inhabitants,
among whom we observed that of Sallust. It is not by
any means difficult to discover baths, coffee-houses, bake-
houses. and other shops of trade, even the custom-house
and other public offices. There is a stibterraneous wine
manufactory on the north side, near tie city gates,
which we examined with great attention : it is very ex-
tensive, and contains the earthen vessels and bottles
wherein the wine had been kept; they were arranged in
ithe same precise order as previous to the awful eruption
which desolated the city : the interior of this place
inneh remmhirs cloisters, the roof being arched with
strong stones. It was in these vaults wheret he unhappy
inhabitants sought refuge front the sudden and over-
whelming shower of fire and ashes; whence, alas'. they,
never returned. Several bodies have stilelequentiv been.
dug out. We were shewu two or three skulls, in the
possession of the keeper.
" A part of the ancient walls remain on the north-
west c ,riser of the city ; and on the outside, conformably
to pristine custom, are the tombs anti monuments of
eminent persons, in as good preservation as when first
errand ; the inside contains the a‘lies, in small potters'
vessels, fixed in cavities 01- cp.( sire. Pompeii stands
on a rirettinference of about three mile., and retains its
original form and situation, with all the sips:ire% forums,
temples, streets, and houses, as perfect as possible, con-
sidering the whole has been buried under ground
nearly 1750 years. The worknwii are clearing away
the rubbish with great success. During oar visit we

The LORD. 31AToR observed, that there ware several
