ARCHE EOHooT.

In letter addressed 90 NJ. Ellie de Beaumont,
Father Secchi Of Rome gives an account Of two
interesting monuments discovered by him near
Alairi, IN the Campagna Romano. The town, of
PensgiC origin, and celebrated for its Cyclopediau
walls, is situated on the top of a mountain, and
being at the time Of the Romans i'll provided with
water, the Censor ]. Betilienu, Narus, as a cele.
bTacd inscription tells us, caused an aqueduct,
$40 feet high, to be constructed between Attri
and the ncighbOrinR mountains IL being expressly
stated that he built It with arches ana provided
It with strong pipes. The present researches, or
dCrcd by Pope Plus TX, in order to renew the
supply Of water 20 the town, have led TO the dis
cuvery Of a large portion Of the Old aqueduct.
From The survey made by Father Seccni, it ap-
pears that the lowest point of the aQueduct
lies 10 metres below the highest point of the
town, a figure which comedies with the $40
feet of tue inscription. Here, therefore,
is an aqucduct built 100 years before
Christ in the skape Of a reversed syphOn
under a pressure Of eleven atmOspherCs. IL
is difficult 70 say how much water was conveyed
by this aqucduct, but it evidently was sufficient
for the consumption Of the tOwp, since the piers
Of the arches measure no ess than five feet nine
inches in breadth. The total length OF the syphOu
Is about six ki,Ometers. The other discovery Is
u field, under which Il complete system of drain
age was executed by means Of long pipes made OF
brick clay, and on an average foot and half in
diameter They are now stopped up with the
sediment, and are.two and a half metres below
the surface of the soil This field was probably
the paradc-grouud mentioned in the inscription
as having been laid out by Beuiouius, whose
attention to the interests of his city was we'll
rewarded, since he was twice appointed Censor,
and "A statue was erected to his honor -G4Rg-
na,i'S Messenger.
