EGYPTIAN MUMMY.

The following letter from DR.. War"
rem, affords, sage the Boston Daily AID.
vertiser. sn interesting description Of
the Mummy, lately presented to the
Massachusetts, General Hospital. We
understand that the Mummy will be
Immediately presented for public exhi-
bition
Messrs. Tildsn e. Eds.:
GENTLEMEN, 1t having been thought
necessary that some account should be
given of the appearances on opening
the Egyptian Mummy, presented by
Yourself and Mr.Van Lennep to NJ. G..
Hospital, this duty has devolved ON &C.
count of my connexion with the Hospi-
tai.
The rough packing case of common
boards being opened, coffin or sarco-
phagus was found within, about seven
feet long, and of proportionase breadh.
The pper part of it is carved to the
form Of human head, attended, as it
seems from the accounts of ancient
aut hors, to represent the features
of the deceased individual. The COM
plexiou is painted Of reddish color,
the eyes black, the nose Is broad, the
face short, and the whole physiognomy
agreeable, but not remarkable for it's
beauty. The head is covered by
cloth or turban of striped material,
confined behind the ears and dependent
to the shoulders and breast, in man.
n.r familiar to those accustomed to ex-
anime Egyptian human figures. Below
the soul ptured face appear greatnum.
Der of 6gares painted in variety OF
colors, uncommonly fresh and we'll
preserved. The superior of them rep.
reseats the aringsd globe, the emblem q.
mong the Egyptians of eternity. At
the inferior part appeared the tutetary
hank, accompanied by the penetrating
and ever watching eye. Tue rest OF
the exterior ofshis sarcophagus is quite
covered with hieroglyphicsl figures
and eDchorial or common Egyptian
characters, regularly placed in com.
part nents of various sizes. The hie-
fOsliphlcs are painted in rich cSlors,
