Thomas PA1NE.-A gentleman in New

Paine, and was repeatedly in his compa-
ny during the last year of his life, gave
the following account ola conversation
with him respecting the Bible:
'One evening I found Paine harangu-

great mischief done by the production of
The Bible and Christianity. When he

NEW DISCOVERS in PoMpEu.

Early in the month of October last,
the scientific Congress then in session at
Naples, with its President. the Minister
of State, SantaDgelo, went to Pompeii,
where in presence of that company re-
searches were made under the direction
of M. Carlo Bonncci, consevator In chief
of the antiquities of the kingdom. -
These operations, were crowned with
perfect success. In street near the
temple of Augustus, two shops were dis
covered filled with different cooking u.
tensils of iron and bronze, which were
probably exposed for sale there. Oppo
site these shops was found magazine
containing blocks of the native African
! marble, of different sizes, among which
was that of Faun, and another repre-
sentiBg skeleton of a woman epyeloped
in full drapery. In this last statue, the
psychologists who were present thought
| to recognise the Goddess Of Envy.
At one of the extremities ofrhe street
Of Fortune, house was uncovered con.
tanning In the basement a great saloon
furnished like an Office for Business. and
in one part of il were coins of the time OF
the Emperors Vespasian and Galba. and
some marble weights. All the heights
surrounding Pompeii, and several of The
streets and squares OF that city were Ill
led with people, walking about in every
direction, so thai il seemed for the mo-.
ment that the old Romancity mud re-
covered Its population, It's life and mo-
ton.
