A discovery of q highly important nature has
just been effected relative to Egyptian antiqai-
ties, which not only reflects new light upon SUBJ
ject which has long reposed in the obscurity of
doubt, but also presents to the civilized world a
certain amount of information, which all intelli-
gent classes win not fail to appreciate.
Historians have instructed us to the effect that
npon the fall Of Anthony, Cleopatra, the beautiful
queen Of the East, severed, with suicides hand,
the feeble link that bound her to existence. IT'S
true she feared the Unsuitable ambition of Caesar,
and the very idea Of being slave to his despotic
will may have impelled her to the execution OF so
irremediable an act. But recent and profound re.
searches into the past, combined with reliable
confessions mace by her faithful attendants, have
dispelled these Illusions, and disclosed the ire
sistible fact that twas entirely owing to her in
ability TO obtain Photographic likeness Of her
devoted Anthony. that induced the frail but i'm
petuous sovereign to rush madly upon the eternal
chasm.
Accept then this historical assurance as les
son for the future, and allow no time to ensue ere
you visit the fashionable and tasty gallery of Mrs.
johnson, No. 672 Magazine street, opposite the
market, where is to be found every specimen of
artistic talent embraced in the catalogue of pho.
Biography, and where picture can be procured so
life-ke in its appearance and general expression,
that has only to test the capacity of our young
and handsome friend E. j. Souby, the skillful and
efficient operator, to be Immediately convinced
that his professional experience is of no ordinary
character.

and then, being Bourbonist took to brigandaQe
in the cause of Francis Ii. There seems to be no
possible doubt that this religious ex-monarch has
many friends amongst the brigsnds, and that he
has done much to maintain and assist them. In
appearance and manner at least, Apuzzo is gen.
tleman. He has fine face, with good forehead
and particularly intelligent eyes. He seems to re-
gard his career as brigand as q mere political
necessity, and believes that, had the Bourbons re-
turned, he would have been rewarded instead of
punished. He told me with an air of polite
suavity that he would never touch a forestiero
and that when on one occasion his band seized an
early hour to see the rise, he had the stranger
liberated, and allowed nothing to be taken from
him. This statement, though IL sounds somewhat
dubious. is, 1t appears perfectly correct. He has
already been tried upon one charge of brigandage,
and has been condemned to sixteen years hard
labor. He has appealed to the superior court for
mitigation of his sentence, but there are several
Other cases against him: and, as be himself said,
ne would doubtless be condemned for life-his
only hope being the restoration Of the old dynasty;
rather weak reed to lean upon Just now.
Did space permit, many more details might be
given about these brgands and manutengoli,'
but enough has been said to show the kind Of men
they are. Compared to the prisons where many men
of high rank and high culture have been confined,
the jail which contains these malefsctors Is almost
luxurious. The only loss the prioners sustain Is
that OF liberty. They are well kept. well fed, we'll
clothed, are allowed to have pen and ink to write
or draw with, beads TO make fancy articles with,
or anything else that may be given to them to
pass the time away. They are free to walk about
their large and lofty rooms in conversation with
each other-to look down upon the lively gulf
below them, and see in the distance the mountains
where they have committed so many outrages,
planned 30 many Of their sorties upon unsuspect-
ing travellers below, and had such hairbreadth
escapes. In England such leniency will be con-
sidered az an encouragement to crime; but IL
must be remembered that this prison. with its nine
hundred inmates. In not intanded for n naca of
