to be hoped from a Company, which by a simple and
%inexpensive process, proposes to search the bed of
this rich river, between the Porta Milvius and the
Ponta d'Ostra, with machines that will separate all
tither substances from the earth which forms the bed
of the ricer. Though Historians do not indicate
with precision, ti;.. valuable objects, the metallic
riches, the works of architectrire, and remains
Of the fine arts, which hue been thrown into the
Tiber, various circumstances nevertheless authorize
the belief, that a great quantity of ancient relics of
high value are contained in that river." This un•
dertaking, which is authorized by the Papal Go-
vernment, is to be supported by subscriptions of
120 shares of 500 scodi each, 200 of which will be
restored ,on the termination of the enterprise. All
