After the Temple of Diana at Ephesus
was burnt down, there we're found in the
ruins the arms of Achilles, copy of the
niad, and q cameo representing the nymphs
of the Hyssus M. Jules Janin says that In
the ruins of the recently-burnt Paris Hippo
drome nothing was found but pair of stays,
O number of chignons, and the peacock's
feather of some wench who was out in her
Sunday clothes.
On the occasion of the visit of the En-
press of the French, not only ladies of honor
have been provided for her from among the
native Christians, but the Mussulmans are
represented by two unmarried young ladies,
Nazl Khanum, eldest daughter of his High
ness the Prince Mustapha Fazyl Pasha of
Egypt, and Fatma Khanum, daughter of the
Prince Hahn. Each of these young ladies'
speaks French as we'll as her father, and
dances too. This arrangement not only pro-
vides for the representation of Mussulman
civilization, but has been made means Of
pressure on the Viceroys purse in bringing
him to terms, by placing the daughters OF his
rivals in SO prominent place near the En-
press whose protection he courts.
"A strange expression of the old feeling
against .''interlopers' has emanated from the
Government of India in proposing, not
merely to discourage the introduction of Eng
lish mechanics into India, but seeking to pro-
hibit any Englishman with a large family
being engaged in any minor civil employment
under Government" With this view it is
sought to train natives for skilled employ
ment. The Indian press regard the move
ment as q protest against English settlement
in the hills which will endow India with a
resident English population, and create a
strong public opinion. 1t seems hard that
the empire of India should be closed to the
employment of Englishmen; and it is asked,
h. n,,1- oFh 1,o
to which his consent is asked?
"A cargo of antiquities has just been con-
veyed from Smyrna to Malta by H. M. S.
Antelope They consist of a large and inte-
resting collection of sculpture, architectural
marbles and inscriptions, recently excavated
at Prime, in Asia Minor, by Mr.. Pullan, on
account of the Dilettante Society several
cases of inscriptions, discovered by Mr..
Wood (once young architect of great pro-
mise, in London), at Ephesus, in the excava-
tions carried on there under the direction OF
the trustees of the British Museum; a curious
archaic head of colossal size, discovered by
Mr.. Consul Dennis near Smyrna, together
with some fragments of very ancient pottery
the fruit of his diggings in the tunuli, neal
the lake of Gyges in the neighborhood OF
Sardes. All these antiquities will shortly be
forwarded to England.
We take the following from the London

The following notes about man of con
siderable ability, whose name has been over
| looked by Fame, and whose works are, though
admirable, not easily recognized, may be
| acceptable to many students in the history Of
| English Art in the earlier half of the last cen
| tury. Andrew Lawrence, an almost unknown
| English engraver, natural son of Andrew
| Lawrence, apothecary to Queen Anne, was
| born in 170S, in College Court, Westminster
Showing, while quite child, marked feel
ing for and power in Art, he was put to learr
| drawing under ''old Monsieur Regnier," {
| printseller and drawing master in Newpor
street, Soho He seems to have been {
| remarkable youth, endowed with potent ia
cility in studies; for he early acquired suf
ficiently fluent knowledge of French, Latin
Italian, and German. He became proficient il
| music, as practised on the violin and German
| flute. These accomplishments were addi
tional to his skill in painting in oil and will
| crayons. On the death of his father, Andrew
| Lawrence the younger found himself mas
mas of his fortune, and, influenced by on
Riario, set about finding the arcanum for tn
| transmutation of other metals into gold. b
this unhopeful proceeding he soon lost hi
! fortune. Ruined by this means he went, i
the first instance, to Bologna, thence t
Paris, where he was employed by LIE Bas, an
for him etched many fine and well-know
plates for engraving. For this work he wa
paid at the rate of thirty soils, fifteen pence,
day. Among the more famous examples c
his work in this manner are the ''Halte dOt
ficiers," ''Les Sangliers Forces, ''Halt
de Cavalerie, " all after Philip Wouvermans
''Le Soir," after Berghem; the ''Cor
rier de Flandres," after Both. Thes
celebrated specimens of engraving wer
little suspected as the work of an Englis
etcher they were finished by LIE Bas, but nc
always improved by the hands of the latter
as good impressions do not fail to show. H
next worked for A, Pond, the printer, an
produced plates which were completed b
Jean Audran. Among these were 81
Maison," after Wouvermans. Andrew Law
renee died on the Sth of July, 1747, and wa
buried in a timber-yard outside the gate {
st. Antoine, Paris, at that time the usut
place of interment for heretics. The memo
from which these notes are drawn was write
in 1885, by Thomas Major. 1t contains
record of other plates by A. Lawrence, con
prising thirty-fve works in all. He who'll
engraved ''Saul and the Witch of Endor
after Salvador Rosa; etched Lies Adieux
after Wouvermans, which was engraved
Laurent. That admirable print, "Le Cou
rier de Flandres, after Both, owes its bett,
qualities to him; also ''Les Sangliers Forces
