REMARKABLE DISCOVERY IN GAL
LICIA,

A Mr.. J. Chmielecki having read in
KirChner'S Annals, conjecture that the
SGbterraneous caves and passages IN Po-
dolia had a communication with those be-
low Know, resolved to examine a site in
Czortkow, to discover any traces of sub
teraneous caves in that direction. A caVi.
~ in the alabaster rocks, overgToWn with
weeds and was found to be an opening
ChoakeG up with earth aud rubbish. When
the workmen had cleared away the earth
beforeShe entrance, mephitic vapor is
sued from the opening, and so affected
them, that they fell senseless on the ground
- bu. on being removed TO purer atmos-
phere, soon recovered. On the following
day, Mr. Chmielecki returned with the
town clerk and six Iesolute peasants, pro-
Yided with swords, pistols, torches and
candles, and descended himself into the
cave, well armed, with lighted torch and
finder box Having hold OF rope OF 800
fathoms, be crept through the narrow en-
trance, which is about lO yards long, into
a subterTaneous excavation which resem-
bled spacious and lofty oval hall, hewn
in aIabaster, and had very pleasing eff
feet. Here be rested for some time, and
then called 10 us companions, who were
waiting at the entrance, and who, after
much persuasion followed him. On fur
ther examining the cave, they discovered
several passages of various sizes, connect.
ed with each other, all curiously hewn put
10 aIabastar, and covering large extent
But whether these passages extended to
great distance; whether they have an issue
on the surface, or not, were questions
which they could not resolve, as they had
got 10 the end of their line, and would not
venture to proceed without a clue. At
ser remaining there 4 hours, they were
obliged TO retreat, by the pressure OF the
long confined air, which almost extin-
guished their torches and Impeded their
breath.
The results of their examination are as
iollows:-All the subterraneous vaults ap-
peared 10 be formed partly by nature and
partly by art: they contain several halls,
or rather spacious Vaults, the walls and
roofs OF which are pure alabaster. They
communicate by means Of several passa-
ges running in different directions and Of
various bresdths, some of them large e.
Hough for coach and horses to turn in
One of these caves has near resemblance
10 a kitchen, for they found upon the
hearth, raised OF several layer OF alabss-
ter, fragments of charcoal and remains OF
kind of wood, (tresnia, summer cherry
which is rot native Of the country near
the excavation. In some places they dis
covered human skulls, which crdmbIed
into dust on being touched. They ike
wise fou1i silver coin OF about the size
of a sixpence, on which. but with much
difficulty, the name of HadriGnus is TO be
deciphered They olso saw several earth
en- vessels resembling modern dishes, but
did not touch them.

AposrRorHE TO THE ISLAND OF CUBA.


There is blood on thy desolate shore,
Thou island of plumber and slaves!
Thy pillows are purpled with gore,
And murder has crimson'd thy waves;
The vengeance of nations will come,
Aud wrath shall be rain'd on thy head,
And in terrect thy voice shall be dumb,
When they ask for their broth ers who bled
Thy hand was not stirr'd, when their life blood
was split;
And therefore that hand must Partake in the
guilt.
Thou art guilty or weak-and the'rod
Should be wrench dfrom thy palsied hand;
BY the pirate thy green fields are trod,
And ms steps have polluted thv land;
Unmov'd IS thy heart and thine eve,
When our dear ones are tortur'd and slain;
But their blood with terrible cry
Calls on vengeance, and calls not in vain;
IF Europe regard not-our land shall awake,
And thy walls and thy turrets shall tremble and
shake.
The voice of world shall be heard,
And thy faith shall be tried by the call;
And that terrible voice shall be fear'd,
And obey'd-or the proud one shall fan,
Enough of our life has been shed
In watching and fighting tor thee;
IF thy foot inger still-on thy head
The guilt and the vengeance shall be:
We have sworn that the spirit of ALLEN shall
lead,
And our wrath shall not rest, till we finish the
deed.
