infersected by the fnrrows Of ages. To
the base Of the second ascent is about 200

being unarmed, seized him and threw him
down. and was about to wrest from him
his bowicknfe, intending to use it IN de.
fence of his life, when Hopkins called up
on the negro aski"g him why he did not
shoot him. Upon which the negro replied
that he could notshoot without killing both.
Hopkins then said shoot any how. Moore
then sprang to the negro, seized the gun,
and was about succeeding in taking it from
the slave when Hopkins. who had roiscd
himself from the floor, advanced upon him
with pistols and bowicknifc. He then en-
deavorcd to make his escape through his
back door; Hopkins pursued Iim,and fred
without eject. Hopkins then returned in
to fhe honse, demanded of Moore's " ife

The CntacOm1s or Rome,

The Revue des Deux Mondes gives an
account Of the researches Of M. Perret in
the catacombs Of Rome which will interest
ran in question has been engaged for six
years in exploring the catacombs, and in
copying the remains Of ancient art hidden
for ages in those extraordinary chambers.
Burying hmselffor FIVE years in this sub
terrsnean city, he has examined every part
of it, in spite of difficulties and perils ofthe
gravest characteristic refusal Of his guides
to accompany him; the intricacy ofthe pas
sages; the necessity for clearing away
through galleries choked up with earth,
which fell in from above almost as fast as
it was removed: the difficulty Of damming
up streams Of water which ran in from a.
bove; the foulness of the air, and conse-
quent difficulty Of breathing and preserv-
ing light in the lower chambers. During
his long sojourn in the neither regions, NJ
Perret succeeded in exploring the whole oi
the sixty chambers and their connecting
galleries; and he has now returned to
France with 4 collection Of drawings which
extends to $50 sheets, in large folio. Oh
these, l54 sheets contain Representations OF
frescoes; 65 Of monuments; % of paintings
on glass, (medallions inserted in the walls
and at the bottom of vases.) containing Sc
subjects; Al drawings Of lamps. vases,

Stepping ont OF the walled enclosure,
the eve rarged over the whole extent Of
Carthage. The plain, the shores OF the in
land lake communicating with the sea,
and probably the original harhor, every
where bear traces OF the Site Of buildings;
deep and dangerous vaults yawn beneath
the feet of the careless traveller and frag-
ments Of walls and columns are embedded
IN luxuriant growth of wild flowers
Our afternoon was wearing away as we
descended TO the borders Of the sea. The
beach OF Carthage! 1t is one of,hose pla-
ces that, ike the Colosseum of Rome, or
runs Of Thcbcs, tower up in the memory
Of a traveller above host finfcrior spec
tacles. Here. however, it is not the mon-
umental grandeur, but the utter desolation
OF what once so great and renowned, that
50 powerfully affects the mind. For more
than two miles we followed the shore, ev-
erywhere lined with the continuous ruins
of the buildings oithe city, huge blocks OF
which. ofa sort of fconglomerate formed by
the mixture Of mortar and pebbles, are
strewed upon the soil, intermingled with
reefs of rocks. and marble columns, and
fragments half in the sand while over
