A principal feature in the paper as enlarged
will be to give it fore of religious character and
make It what every publication Of the kind intend

surate with all their intellectual and moral wants;
add promotive o. their highest and best interests.
The proposed improvement seems to be called

POMPEY'S PILLAR.

In one of his lectures last week, Mr..
Buck ngham related some singular facts
respecting the monument known as Pom
pey's pill ar. II has lately been discov.
cred that this is misnomer. as it was e.
rected 10 honor to Dioclesian When
literature emerged from the dark ages in
Europe; and the Egyptian antiquities be-
gan to attract attention, learned men Wis.,
| tied the country to examine the ruins and
decypher their inscriptions. The char
acters on the pedestal Of this pillar are
much defaced, and scarcely legible.-
The most conspicous word is Pompeus,
aud they very naturally concluded that
Pompey the Great. he who disputed with
Cesar the conquest Of the world was the
individual intended, and that this monu.
ment was rasied for him. An English
traveller; who pursued his antiquarian
studies in Egypt, under the couDtenance
and protection Of the Pacha, has since
decyphered almost the entire inscription,
and discovered that il was erected to D-
oclesian, in commemoration Of its having
brought into Alexandra a supply of corn
during a season of great scarcity, and
that the Pompey named was only the
mayor or chief officer of the city during
whose maglsirscy the work was done.
This is at the prese6t day the largest
column in the world, although there are
obeisks Of greater size. Its dimensions are
as follows: The pedestal is sixteen feet
high, and twenty feel square. Tie shaft
is ninety.two in length, from rim to rim
"a single piece, ten and half feet in
diameter. II is the rose granite from a
quarry SIX hundred miles distant the
hardest and most compact known. and
