Diacovery IN PERI.

The Hon. Thomas Ewbark, in letter to
the National Intelgrncer, commun Gates
some interesting information in relation %
recent discoveries in the excavation of Peru
Wan tumul. 1t was received by Mr. Ew-
banks from w. Evai S. Esq., engineer of the
Alica and Tacna railroad in Peru. Mr..
Evans states that, in making excavations Tor
the railroad at africa, hundreds of graves are
demolished, in which are numerous Indian
relics. The excavations a.e seventy feet
deep, and as the soil isssloose sand, and as
the work proceeds, everything from the tot
comes siding down-dead Indians, pots
kettles, arrow-heads, &c. Among other in.
teresting mortuary relics, an Indian was
stirred out of the resting-place, rolled up in
a shroud of gold. Before Mr.. Evans hal
knowledge of the incident tie workmen had
cut up this magnificent wnding-sheet, anc
divided is among themselves. With some
difficulty Mr.. Evans obtained a fragment
and dispatched it to Mr.. Ewbank
Mr.. Evans notices, as very remarkable
fact, that in hundreds of Indian skulls whlct
he has examined, not one contained decay
ed tooth. Mr.. Evbank thinks the weight o
the entire shroud must have been eight O.
nine pounds, and, had it been preserved
would have been the finest specimen of shoe
gold that we have heard OF since the tim,
of the Spanish conquest. In s)me eloqucn,
rent rks upon the preservation OF souvenir
Of the departed, and the futilty of attempt
ing to secure the great dead from contac
with their native earth, Mr.. Ewbank says, i
il is the form or features, and not the b dy
or substance of the dead, that thoud be pre-
served, and adds:
"The nummies OF Egypt are quarfied fc
fuel, and, whether those OF the Pharaohs
their wives, their priests, or their slaves, ar
split open and chopped up with the same ia
difference as 30 many pine logs. The gum
and balsams used in embaIming them hav
made them good substitute for bi,uminou
coal; and thus the very means employed t
preserve them become the active agents 70
their ssipa ion. So it is when materials q
collins have high market vaue; they ar
then seized as concealed treasure, and ti.ei
contents cast out as rubbish. Like heroe

MISCELLANEOUS.
From the new volumes of Macauiay's History OF
England.
The last days Of Jeffreys, one Of the
atrocious Judges.
atroclouS Judges.


Among the many offenders whose names
were mentioned in the course of these in
uuiries, was one who stood alone and I'M
approached in guilt and infamy, and whom
Wings and Tories were equally willing to
leave to the extreme rigor of the law. On
that terrible day which was succeeded by the
Irigh Night. the roar of great city, disap-
pointed of its revenge, had followed Jeffreys
to the drawbridge of the Tower. His i'm
prisonment was not strictly legal; but he al
first accepted with thanks and blessings the
projections which those dark walls. made
famous by so many crimes and sorrows, af-
forded him against the fury of the multi
tude. Soon, however, he became sensible
that his life was still in imminent peril.
For time he fattered himself with the
hope that writ of habeas corpus would Ii
berate him from his confinement, and that
he should be able to steal away to some
foreign country, and to hide himself with
part Of his il-gotten wealth from the detes-
tation Of mankind; but, till the government
was settled, there was no court competent
TO grant writ of habeas corpus; and, as
soon as the government had been settled,
the habeas corpus act was suspended -
Whether the legal guilt Of murder could be
brought home to Jeffreys may be doubted
But he vas morally guilty of SO many
murders, that if there had been no other
way of reaching his life, a retrospective act
of at,ainder would have been GENEROUSLY
demanded by the whole nation. A disposi-
tion to triumph over tho fallen has never
been one of the besetling sins of English
men; but the hatred of which Jeffreys was
the object was without a parallel in our
history, and partook but too largely Of the
savageness of his own nature.
The people, where he was concerned
was as cruel as himself, and exulted in hi'
misery as he had been accustomed to exu
in the misery Of convicts listening to th'
sentence of death, and of families clad il
mourning. The srsbble congregated befor
his desecrated mansion in Duke street, an'
read on the door, with shouts Of laughter
the bills wi ich announced the sale of hi
property. Even delicate women, who ba
tears for highwaymen and housebrsaker'
breathed nothing but vengenee against hin
The lampoons on which were hawked abol
the town were distinguished by an atrocit
rare even in those days. Hanging would b
too mild death for him; grave under th
gibbet too respectable resting place;
ought..to be whipped to death a; the cart
tsil he ought to be tortured like an Indiar
he ought to be devoured alive.
The street poets portoned out al h
joints with cannibal fel ocity, and compute
how many pounds of steaks might be CT
from his wellfattsned carcass. Nay, til
