New York Observer from Rome, as follows: asE,55,s

above the city and around it, provided the govern

its present bed. This would be attended vast ex

to age, have found their way into the stream which
would bring in the market q perfect remuneration
In the museum Of ST. John Lateran, a magnificent
column Of stone is lying which was taken not long
since from the Tiber, a portion Of which has been
polished to display its beauty, and no one can see
without wishing to have more of the secret of this
river revealed: Statualy more perfect and perhaps
more beautiful than any of the ancient works of art
now seen in Rome lies embedded in groups, beneath
the stream. Agostino Chigi, the famous banker at
the time of Leo x, once gave splendid entertain-
ment to the Pope and his Cardinals at which the
dishes were all precious metals The price paid for
three fish $50 crowns. 1t is said that the dishes
were all thrown into the Tiber by ordcrsof the rich
banker in order that less illustrous guest might
use them. The sacred vessels brought from Je-
rusaem by Titus, among them the golden candlestick
are reported to have been lost from the Milesian
