EXTRAORDINARY ANTIQUITY.

we have been favored (says the Brighton Ca.
zette) with the inspection Of piece oflinen cloth
now in possessionssof Mr. Thomas of Tunbridgc
wells, which formed part of the inner integu-
ments which covered the breast of an Egyptian la
dy. The mummy was discovered in the year 1922,
at Bornou. in Upper Egypt, and came in possession
of Mr. Granville, of London. On removing the
outside case, the body Of female vas discovered,
enveloped in bandages of linen cloth, which were
applied to every part of the body with the most ex.
Taordnary nicely and skill when completely de
veopcd, the body found to be in a most perfect
state OF preservation, the flesh of the muscles soft
and all the oints quite pable and il proved decided
ly the finest mummy yet seen in Europe The
uncommon state OF preservation OF the body Undue ed
DIR. Granvilleto sacrifice for the sake of ana,omi-
cal sciences the most perfect specimen yet known
and he accordingly commenced a regular dissection
of the body. the results of which he communicated
to the Royal Society in most interesting disserta
ton, which read in the month of NAV, 1926
Sir Everard Home and DIR. Granville discovered
that the body was that OF female and from certain
anatomical data, they had very little doubt that she
was 45 or 30 years of age, had had several children
and died of droPsy This piece of cloth is at least
5000 years old, as Herodotus, the most ancient OF
the historians, who fourshed 500 years before the
Christian era, mentions that the Egyptians former

art was then lost. II is certainly wonderful spe
cimen OF the perfection to which the cultivation Of
fax and the arts of weaving and tanning had arriv
ed at that very distant period. The wrappers round
the body weighed % pounds ounces, and it is most
singular that all the most scientific and modern
methods OF handaging, as now practised by the
French and English Surgeons, were known, and
used in this instance at least 5000 years ago

600 souls In Rio Janeiro, of which at
least three-fourtbs are negro slaves and
few free blacks. The number of ne

all nations are frequently in the port At
one time. The English have the great

principal article of produce from the T.

greatest part of that article consumed in
