No. Rome.

We entered Rome at the hour of sunset
by the gate called Porta Cavalle ggieri very
near st. Peters. Thus, by fortunate
circumstance, our earliest vision of the
Eternal City was this glorious structure
Winding around the noble collonade which
surrounds the great piazza in front of st.
Peters, we could see between the inter
walls Of its columns, the waters of its foun-
tains playing in sparkling jets in the last
rosy daylight, and then falling in graceful
clouds of spray on the glistening pavement,
giving, if | may so speak, something of
airness to a scene otherwise almost too
impressive in its power, glory, strength,
and beauty. A moment more and the
Castle of st. Angelo loomed up beside us;
now, were upon its statue guarded bridge,
looking down into the yellow flood of class
ic Tiber; and again, we were driving along
the long street leading to the Piazza de
Spagna, at the foot of the Pincian Hill.
Monday, March 31a-Awakened this
morning by the singing of birds in a
flower garden beneath or windows; l look
ed out on an unclouded sky, and brcathed
the sweet. inspiring air with joyous con
ciousness of being in Italy-RoME: the
blue above us was the magic tint of an
Italian sky; the air was the air of beauti
full Italy. 1 think M. was also very hap
py.
While it was yet early, we walked out
to visit lady to whom we had letters of
introduction. We found her i'm her lodg-
lngs, the most agreeable manner in which
to live in Rome, and she no sooner heard
that we intended to remain at least month
than she advised us to take two furnished
rooms which she knew were at that mo-
ment to be let i'm the Via GrerOriana. on
onc of the slopes of the Pincian, and have
our meals sent TO us from a tratoria near

DR.. Kane's Arctic Explorations.

We have received from the publishers
Messrs Childs & Peterson, Philadelphia,
pamphlet containing specimen pages Of
DR.. E. X. Kanc's forthcoming work en.i.
tied "Arctic Explorations III the years 855,
"a, and 55,' in search of Sir John Frank
lin. The work will be completed in two
octave volumes of nearly 500 pages each,
containing 22 fine steel plates and about
800 wood engravings, also four maps,
showing the imrortan. discoveries, &c
This is work which should be in the IL
brary of every citizen, for we suppose there
is no American who is not proud of Dr..
Kane's achievements as an Arctic explor-
er. The publishers are Messrs. Childs &
Peterson, 194 Arch street, Philadelphia.
The narratives is intensely interesting. We
print below few extracts, and commend
the work to all our readers:
In the morning OF the 2od we pushed
forward through the snow-storm toward
Northumberland Island, and succeeded in
reaching it little to the eastward Of my
former landing. Myrids of auks greeted
us, and we returned their greeting by the
appropriate invitation of our table A fox
also saluted Us with an admirable imitation
of the "Huk- huk -huk," which, among the
ESquimaux is the never UNDECIDED call of
distress; but the rascal, after seducing us
a mile and half out of our way, escaped
our guns.
Our boats entered Il little path of open
water, which conducted us to the beach,
directly below one of the hanging glaciers.
The interest with which these impressed
me when was returning back from my
Beechy Island effort asjustifed very full
ly by what L saw of them now. 1t seemed
as if chaldron of ice inside the coast ridge
was boiling over, and throwing Its crust in
huge fragments from the overhanging lip
into the sea below. The glacier must have

at its summit we could not see the lines of
viscous movement which | have endeavor-
ed to transfer to my sketch.
We crossed Murchison channel on the
23d, and encamped for the night on the
hand -fioa at the base of Cape Parry; a hard
days travel, partly by tracking over ice,
and partly through tortuous and zig gag
leads. The next day brought us to the
of Fitz- Clarence Rock, one
Of the most interesting monuments that
rear themselves along this dreary coast; in

etc" and SO on till the whole story was fin
ished. 1t was no use to assure him that all
he told us was not aeholly new to us; he
had made beginning, and the stream
must flow; sooner might you turn water up
hill than attempt to stay it. All this was
amusing, but at the same time not little
vcxatious; we felt that it would never do to
keep such damrer to enthusiasm as Sir
Cicerone and his historical "reminiscences
would most likely prove. We were there
fore suitably grateful when the Countess
Orloff arrived at the Europe, and took him
off our hands.
What is called the Capitol consists Of
three palaces, occupying three sides of the
square on the Capitoline Hill The one
now called the Palace of the Senator oi
Rome, was erected by Michael Angelo on
the foundations of the ancient capitol. We
ascended to its lofty tower, on one hand
lay modern Rome; on the other, the splen-
did ruins of her former glory; & arou nd all
there flowed the proud old Tiber, recalling
Spencer's quaint old lines
"Rome now of Rome is tn only funeral,
And only Rome of Rome hath victory,
No oucl,, NO tho rTiho, lae o., Ii ell
Rcmanspef all"
The green expanse of the Campagna,
bounded by the Mediterranean and the
Sabine and the Alban Hills, made up the
scene, every spot of which is enchanted
ground, every one who reads this will un-
derstand the intense. interest with which it
was viewed by each of our party.
On descending; We passed through the
chamber containing the bronze Wolf of the
Capitol. As the most ancient work we had
yet seen, and as so romantically connected
with the story Of the founding of Rome, the
seeing of it was quite an event. At the
foot ofthe grand stairway, we were shown
the bas-relief of Quintius Cu-tius leaping
into the gulf in the Forum; and fragment,
encased in marble, of the inscription which
marked the triumphal column erected to
Duillius after his brilliant victory over the
Carthagenians 1t was richly ornamcnted
with anchors and other naval emblems

Opinion on the claim of Mariana G. Val

On the additional testimony produced,
the board is of opinion that part of this

Far other scene is that vast arena now,
with its soft green turf and springing flow

ponderous arch, to that of the long gone
days when emperors and their dazzling

trod this spot, and bcautcoui Vestals gave
the signal for the commencement of the
combat. As, gazing down from the high

Weanesday.-The Borghcsc Gallery
Such priceless treasures as | have feasted
my eyes upoc this morning! l thought no
more of the splendid and magnificent pal
ace we had entered, through court sur
rounded with columns and statues, with
a view of a rose garden and fountains be-
yond, when the door of the gallery opened,
for found myself in another enchanted
world. The first picture my gaze rested
upon was Raphaers portrait of himself, ia
ken by himself-a beautiful boy with dark
flashing eyes, a brow on which genius was
written like a glory.
Of the many hundred pictures, can of
course only mention those | wish never to
forget. The Chase of Diana, bv Domeni
chino, is a perfect miracle of beauty. That
merry greenwood" those airy nymphs
around their lovely queen, the rich light
glowing over all-but how can my pen
hope to image what is Incompatible! The
same artists Sybil hangs near; her eyes,
"deep eloquence" will haunt me for many
a day. And now l stood before a scene
near which you involuntary speak but in
low whispers, and your brow grows very
sad. 1t is Raphael's En,ombment of Christ.
The youthful grief of St. John, the sorrow
too deep for tears of ST. Peter, the fainting
mother, and the pale, lifeess form of the
Son; ah, what mournful picture yet what
a triumph Of Art! Sasoferrato': exquisite
Madonna is its companion; had long been
familiar with it from engravings.
The other pictures especially remem-
Der, were Michael Angeles st. John, Cor
regio's Dana, Titan's Three Graces, three
beautiful frescoes taken f.om the casino of |
Raphael, and landscape from Paul Pot
ter-a perfect gem of its kind and not un-
worthy place among the grand old mas
tcrs;--of these can this moment recall the
varied beauties as distinctly rs though they
were again before me.
