EXCAVATIONS At HERcuLANEuM. Our Neapo-
Titan correspondent says Sc As the season for
excayating has, IN several spots, drawn to q
close, it will be well to give glance at what has
been done within the last few months, and at the
altered position of the various scenes of anti
quarian interest in the Kingdoms Of the Two
Siclies The excavations which we're renewed
in Rerculaneum about year or two since have
been continued, and the greuud-foors Of the
houses situated on the declivity leading to the
sea are being laid open. The recent results,
however, have been unimportant. At Pompeii
the works were for long time suspended. A
bronze statue of Apollo had been brought to
light. a little larger than life, Roman in Style;
it was found near the small theatre. The ex-
cavations are now being prosecuted very feebly,
but with q view to discover the lower part of
the boundary wails Of the ancient city Feebly,
however, as the works are conducted, the won
der is, not that SO little is done, but that any
thing is done, when it is considered that the
entire revenue of the country is insufficient for
the management of the army. The point OF
greatest interest, however, has been, and still
continues to be, Canosa, in Puglia; and the ex-
caVations of the Greek tombs have been carried
on under the able direction of Signor Carlo
Bouueei. These tombs are in the form of small
chambers, decorated with columns and paint
ings. Here have been found objects Of quite q

| terra-eottas and glass tournaments of gold, as
| necklaces, bracelets, diadems, earrings and
| rings canoes and vases which are remarkable
for the beauty of their paintings, and the in
terest and the grandeur of the subjects. Ihaye
already spoken of the wonderful vase on which is
represented the war between the East and the
West, or Asia and Greece, in which Darius is
seated in the midst of his satraps, while the
various provinces of Asia, personi6ed by beauti-
full women, bring their offerings for the war ;
| aud only allude TO it now for the reason that
have just seen some fragments of these beanti-
| ful productions of art, When speak of frag-
ments, it shou be known that no part is miss
ing, and that the vase will be restored operfec-
| tion. Signor Bonueei returned to Canosa at the
| end of last month, in order TO send over to the
| Royal Bourbon Museum at Naples all the won
| ders he has collected At Capua, too, some
thing has been done in antiquarian research,
and the result is that SamRitic tomb has been
] found. II is in the form of chamber; on the
walls are painted two young women. who are
playing on the pipes, and other figures Some
black vases also we're discovered here, with
giided ornaments, as also rings and other orna-
ments in gold.s [Londan Athenanm
