itecture in the early Norman style. The
day was very fine, the sun bright. and the
sky above us perfectly clear; but as is ge-
morally the case in This country, with an
east wind, the atmosphere was thick with a
kind of dry haze which excluded distant
objects from sight. The sea was to our
right, but we could not discern where il
ended and the horizon began, and the noun
tans of the islands of Arran and the lone
and lofty rock of Ailsa Craig looked at first
like faint shadows in the thick air, and were
soon altogether undislinguishahe. We
came al length to the little old painted kirk
of AlIoway, in the midst Of burying
ground, roofess, but with gable ends still
standing, and its interior occupied by tombs.
A solid upright marble slab, before the
church, marks the place where William
Burns, the father of the poet, lies buried.
A little distance beyond flows the Doom
under the old bridge crossed by Tam o.
Shanter on the night of his adventure with
the witches.

letter from Rome published in Galignani's
Messenger, contains the following: One of
the most splendid monument, Of Catholic
art, the dome of St. Peters at Rome, in
spires serious alarm in the minds of the
architects Of that city. For long time
past The cupola has been cracked in many
places, and ten arches Of iron weighing
10000 kilogrammes have been placed so as
to prevent It's fall. 1t has just been disco
vered that the lantermino, above which rises
the cross which crowns the edifce, is
cracked through and through. The hume
rous Tightening conductors which had been
erected by Pope Plus VII, for the protec-

the cracks from extending.
