Iu,ere,tinr Di.coyerle, IN Atheu..

The Providence Or. I.) Journal gives the
following translation of interesting discov-
cries recently made in Athens:
Eastward of the church Of "kapnakaraei,"
at place where according to Mr.. Pittakis, a
temple of Ceres stood, a very curious inscrip-
tion in Attic letters, on a marble slab, has
been discovered by workmen while making
the sewer in Mercury-street. It is a minute
record of charges fof copper, lead, tin, &C,
used in making the figures that adorned the
pedestal of the statue of Ceres. 1t gives also
the price of labor expended on the figures,
and the expenditures for lead and timber
used in building the platform or steps for
raising within the temple the great pedestal,
which was constructed of stones fastened to-
gether with clamps. 1t contains also a
memorandum of expenses for setting up two
statues upon this pedestal and of the method
of elevating such massive bodies, and fasten-
ing them to the base. The sum total eX-
pended is five talents and three thousand
four hundred drachmas.
In the town of Megara also q large aud in
teresting inscription, belonging to the Byzan-
tine times, has been found. 1t states de-
fnitely the wages of teachers, musicians,
archaologists, grammarians, lawyers, and
the like.
In the Paecile Stoa likewise, a decree has
been discovered, relating TO the irruption ol
| the Goths, 279 B. c., their defeat at Delphi
by the Aetolians, Athenians and other Greeks
| and to the festival commemorating this vic
| tory and deliverance, which was celebrated
| every third year at Athens.

A WOMAN CANvAssER IN IRELAND-SHE
SINGS HER HUSBAND INTO 0FFIoE.-A corre-
spondent of the Waterford Nail gives the
following anecdote of the late election for
Glare: Il
The contest turned wholly upon personal
popularity, and Calcutt, who is a farmer-like,
Jolly Irish gentleman, was better calculated
to win upon the people than the fashionable
young captain of a crack corps. His wife,
too, would make the fortune of any candidate.
A fine dashing woman, she rode about the
country In the carriage with her husband In
his canvassing expeditions and, when he
was one day in public house, seeing par
ish committee, and she was outside in u bar
ouche, awaiting his return, the frieze coats
gathered round the vehicle, and giving three
cheers "for her honor" called upon her to
make aspeech. Z sl.gst Z el1
Prompt as lightning, she replied, 'Iwon't
trouble you, my friends, with my oratory,
but III sing you u song, which an lrishman,
with music in his soul, would any day pre-
fer to speech;" and with that, in clear
and pleasant voice, she struck up "Let Erin
Remember" and followed the ditty with
several other melodies of Tommy Moore. A
person who witnessed the scene assured me
there was nothing incongruous about it; the
lady sung her best, and entered into the
spirit of her song, and the frieze coats list
| ened entranced. From that moment forth
| during the canvass she never appeared il
public without having to sing song.

A DANDY ROBBED FOR HIS ASSURANCE
During a recent severe shower man was
walking down Broadway, in New. York,
sheltering himself under a large family UNI
brella, when young dandy, well-known in
fashionable circles, thought to improve the
opportunity. He hurriedly accosted the
stranger, inquiring for his health family &c,
and proceeded to narrate an adventure OF
his. By the time he had concluded the story
he had arrived at his place of destination,
when bidding good day he left the owner Of
the umbrella to conjecture who had pre-
sumed upon his acquaintance. The young
man was congratulating himself upon hay-
ing escaped wetting by his address, when
he found his watch missing. He speedily
looked up a police detective, and learned,
upon describing the man upon whom he had
been practicing his assurance, that he was a
well-known pickpocket, whose portrait has
graced the Rogue's Gallery for two years.

Dccease Of an Old English Journai-1n-
teresting RemIn. acences.

The publication of one Of the oldest news
papers printed in the English language is
about to be discontinued. It is announced,
says the New York Evening Post, that the
interest in the London Morning Chronicle
was purchased some time since by the pro-
prietor of the Morning Post. The Chronicle
will be issued, as usual, until the first Of Au-
gust after that date IL will cease to appear.
This intelligence will not surprise any one
who is acquainted with the extraordinary
progress made by the cheap press in Great
Britain within the last few years. One could
wish however, that the Morning Chronicle
had not been the first victim TO this aggress-
i've spirit of progress. There are associa-
tions connected with that journal Of no little
interest. IL was in the Morning Chronicle
that Sir Philip Francis-or somebody else
under a well-preserved incognito, gave to the
world the "Junius Letters" the fame of
which has not been confined to those countries
where the English language is spoken.
These letters appeared in the Chronicle dur
ing the term of Office of its first teditor, Wood
fall, who introduced into his paper the custom
of regularly reporting the debates in Parlia-
ment, u new feature in English journalism
at the time. Woodfall was considered "a
recklessly brave person" for having given
publicity to the ideas Of Junius, Burke, Fox
and Sheridan. Tom Moore, Campbell, Gold
smith, Byron and Dickens may also be
numbered in the brilliant array of writers
| for "the good old Whig of the Strand" From
Morgan Mccarthy, the 'joking genius" who
| imposed the famous "potato speech on q
drowsy brother chip as the genuine Parlia,
mentary peroration of an indignant Irish.

about a month since, thestaf of the ChronicL
was remarkable for its ability.
The Morning Chronicle was established il
| l770 eighteen years before the Times. II
noticing its progress, an eminent Englisl
author makes statementto to which we woult
respectfully ask the attention of those gentle
men who are continually instituting in
vidious comparisons between "the rough ant
ready journalism of the United States AM
"the high-toned spirit of the British press.
"The Chronicle" says the author of EngLdn
Under the House Of HdnoVer, "like tn
Times, began its career in accordance witt
the taste Of that age (177Ol with courtinI
popularity by detailing most indelicate pri

our London cotemporaries are not so spotles
as they would have us believe. But tn
Chronicle, when the only means by which
could then succeed had carried it TO poI
ularity and aifiuence, took n noble cours

GRAND AMPHITHEATER OF Snowy HILLs.--
A letter dated at Sukum Kale, in Circassia,
contains this description: III f
This harbor is amid an amphitheater OF
snowy mountains, such as can not be seen in
all Switzerland. Elbrous, one hundred miles
of, is conspicuous. 1t is near eighteen thou
sand feet high, and has many compeers. All
along, as far as the eye can distinguish, these
snowy giants extend on the left; we face the
bottom of this roadstead, and all along the
right, for many league, stretches another
chain alike in grandeur. This is the most
wonderful point ofview on the sea level that
can be; conceived Of The shores. are low,
but the hills rise very soon, and are followed
by range upon range, till the high mountains,
forming the greater part of the back ground
rise up darkly in tie distance, till the eye
meets the line of the snow, sparkling and
cleaning in the morning sun. I
