TURxEY--LlrERARY DfsoovERY.-
We learn from a Constan,inople letter
Of the 18th ut,, in The Risorigimeio, Of
Turin. that public attention has been
| greatly excited there by the discovery
| Of an immense treasure Of Greek man
uscrip,s, Of the highest antiquity.
found by learned Greek of the name
OF Simonides, in cave situated at tho
foot of Mount Athos. According TO this
account the importance ofthis discovery
is incalculable, since il brings to light
a great quantity Of celebrated works
| quoted By various ancient writer's and
hitherto deemed entirely lost. They
furnish, as may be imagined, an ex-
tensive list Of proper names, calculated
to throw grea, light upon many obscure
periods ofhistory. Among these precious
volumes, which are composed of very
thin membranes tine nature of which Is

characters, some are calculated 10 give O
