cleared out, and all its permanent apparatus-as
corn mills, kneading- g-troughs, four.bins &C.,
remain IN situ, the smaller and more pershlble
Objects-as the measures, the weights, the loayes,
the corn, &C. being placed in the temporary
museum which has been formed at Pompeii
The attractions Of this house, however, have been
eolipsed by those of similar establishments imme-
distely adjoining it, which had been discovered,
but not fully eXcayated before the disinterment
o. the oven. The second bakery is much larger
and the appointments on more extensive scale
and in greater variety. The dwcliing-house OF
the owner, too, is much more luxurious. Although
connected with the bake house, il has a separate
entrance, and q double atrium and pcrstyle, both
of which are of more than ordinary extent, and
in their size as well rs their decorations, bear
witness to the wealth and luxurious tastes of thl
occupants.

WILLIAM THE FOURTH AND BEssy UsHER-
At the first drawing-rOom held by Queen Ade-
laidc and william the Fourth after their corona
tion, Miss L. Usher was presented, as a matter OF
course, though already well known TO the King
while he was Duke of Clarence, owing to his
friendship for many years standing with her
father. At the moment of presentation, however,
some hesitation occurred, owing TO a slight ntor-
maty as Lord James O'Brien was handing her
forward. At this the King, in his hearty, stem
torian voice, called out, SIS this Bessy Isher God
ever since she was baby" And hearty and
resounding kiss, planted on either cheek Of the
blushing girl gave ample testimony TO the sin
reraTl. The confusion of the beautiful "Bessy"
NAV be imagined. Every eye in that courtly
circle was instantly turned full upon her; and
great was the admiration and astonishment OF
the high dignltares collected around the throne
on this grand and stately occasion.
