BURIED TErAsuREs.-"Euscbius
writes the New York Observer from
Rome, as follows:
The Tibcr is not only rich in his
toric associations, it is rich in treasure.
An English company has actually Of
fcrcd to turn the curreat Of the stream
far above the city and ABOUND it, pro-
vided the government would give
them what might be discovered in its
present bed. This would he attended
with vast expense, but it would pay.
Treasures of art, from are to age, have
found their way into the stream,
which would bring in thc market
perfect remuneration. lin the muse

Investigation upon its own account.
