opened to the public, will be henceforth one
of the most attractive places III Rome. It is
situated in a long, low building, within
the Orto Botanico. Here, as the clay-bed of
the river reluctantly yields up its stratlfled
treasures, there is space for other buildings
similar to the one already erected.
The three long halls just thrown open hold
a portion only OF. the objects found in the
bed and on the banks of the Tiber during the
excavations of the last four years. The
magazine is filled with 4 multitude OF coins,
vases, bronzes, inscribed marble tablets,
and fragments Of marble or bronze
statues, which are not yet arranged. AL
though so much has been already discovered
STILL GREATER RESULTS ARE ANTICIPATED,
So that this museum, which is situated On the
bank Of the stream, nob far from the place
where the treasures have been found, will be-
come one Of the principal attractions Of Rome.
Other cities Of later foundation and inferior
Importance have gathered valuable 'collec-
tions of antique objects from researches in
the beds Of rivers which pass through them.
The Cluny and Sevrcs Museums at Paris
have each interesting collections from the
Seine, and the chief nlaryels of the British
Museum are the objects Of .Anglo-SaSbn orr
gin found in the Thames. The Tiber itself,
previous to these researches, had yielded
many valuable objects, among which we're u
naoxe nv h S..u ef eae st,a sa;mt N,p4j and nra-
sented by the Pope to Frederick the Great,
and the Barberini Faun. now at Munich.
