twill add much TO antiquarian science,
that the distinguished traveller, Mr.. Ste
Phens has been appointed Charge d. Affairs
to Central America, in the place of the late
Mr. Leggett. Mr. Stephens is an enterpri-
sing and judicious traveller, and he goes with
his eyes open. He is an accute and accu-
rate observer of things. Mr.. Catherwood,
the distinguished traveller in Palestine, and
other countries in the east, is about to visit
the ruins of Palenque, and other antiquities

laurels were won, Mr.. Charles Kean has re-
turned, backed by an European reputation
and appeared several gifts at the National
Theatre. His first appearance was IN tht
