By the munificence of the Pope, the triumphal Arch of Titus at Rome will be soon restored to its ancient splendour. The labors of the workmen employed on the Coliseum proceed rapidly, and it is expected, that this ancient monument will soon appear in its pristine state. An Egyptian obelisk, covered with hieroglyphics, which formerly belonged to the Circus of Aurelian, and which was given to Pope Ganganelli by a Princess of the House of Barberini, will be placed in the Square of the Two Apostles.

A Collection of Classic Greek Authors, with a latin Version, and Commentaries, is now in the press, at Turin. The Collection of Latin Classic Authors, published by the same editors, had already obtained an assured success, when a rival enterprise was undertaken in France, under the direction of M. Lemaire, a distinguished scholar. This circumstance, however, so far from abating, has only added to their zeal, and their efforts have been such as might be expected from their profound erudition. The new collection, on which they are now engaged, will comprehend the principal Greek writers, in verse and prose, as Herodotus, Thucydides, Xenophon, Polybius, Diodorus Siculus, Plutarch, &c.; Demosthenes, Socrates, Eschines, Lysias, &c.; Homer, Anacreon, Pindar, Eschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, &c. The text and notes will be according to the edition of Deux Ponts, and those of Leipsic and Strasbourg, published under the direction of the celebrated Reitz, Schweighouser, Reiske, &c. A specimen of four pages, which the editors have added to their prospectus, gives an assurance, that they will render it more perfect than the original editions, and that the collection will be, at the same time, a monument of typographic art. The Collection of Greek Classics will form about twenty-four volumes, in royal 8vo. on vellum paper. The price is fixed as follows:-for each volume

under twenty-five sheets, or four hun dred pages, 8 francs; from twenty-five to thirty sheets, 10 francs; from thirty to thirty-eight sheets, 12 francs, and every volume above this, 15 francs. The portraits of authors, and such other engravings as may be inserted in each volume, to be paid for separately, at a moderate price.-Subscriptions are received at Turin, by theWidow Pomba; at Paris, by Chasserieau; and at the Central Office of the Revue Encyclo pedique, where the prospectus is placed for inspection.

The Anthologie of Horeme announces, that a new edition of the work of the Abbé Andres, on the Origin, Progress, and present State of every Species of Literature, is publishing at Pistoja.— The imperfection of this work, which is frequently vague, and, sometimes, even incorrect and partial in many respects, is generally felt and acknowledged. The present editors promise, that these defects will be corrected, and that the present edition will contain whatever the sciences and Belles Lettres have produced worthy of notice, since the first publication of the work. The observations made on the subject by the editors of the Anthologie, as it regards the history of Italian literature, are highly judicious. They insist on the merit of the history of Ginguené, which aims at making us acquainted with the works, rather than with the lives of their authors. It is in their writings alone, that we can discover the facts and ideas which the historian should quote, as well through gratitude, as to do justice to their merits. Dr. Brewster, an English physician, having lately examined the works of Benvenuto Cellini, a celebrated goldsmith of the sixteenth century, attributes to him the merit of an original observation on the phophorescence of the Spath-fluor. This remark is the more houourable to Dr. Brewster, as it has escaped the Italians themselves.

"This work of mercy originated with our generous and compassionate friends in England, by whose zeal and piety immense sums poured in on the London Tavern Committee of Management, by whose anxiety for our relief, all possible means were adopted-Charity Ser mons, Benefits of Balls and Theatres-and having tried all other measures, collections from door to door were resorted to, with considerable.

TOURS.

barley and oat crops are much below an average.

DEVON.-The harvest is got in, and the farmer avers that for a number of years past the ears of corn have not been so productive as in the present. Notwithstanding the rain, the crops have been well housed; and very little damage has been sustained by the continued showers which so frequently prevailed. The wheat crops are universally good. Beans and oats will give a very defective produce, and barley partially so on light grounds. Turnips have every where planted well, and there is not the least appearance of the fly.

HANTS. The barley crop, though good in some places, is not generally so as the wheat; the number of ricks of that grain is far greater than ever before known.

MIDLAND COUNTIES.-These Counties appear to have suffered some injury from the rains, which did not fall, in the most northern, until the sickle was about to be put in motion. Some fields of wheat were laid, but not sufficient to affect, in any material degree, the average crop, which is on all sides declared to be excellent.

NORTHERN COUNTIES. Nothing can be more gratifying than the accounts from these Counties. It is too often the case in this division of the kingdom, that the summer lasts only long enough to bring the corn to full growth, and then deserts it, subjecting the agriculturist to a dreadful loss at the very moment he anticipated a full remuneration for his past labours. That is happily not the case in the present season, for the northern farmers are now reaping a noble crop of wheat, and there is every probability of their closing their labours as prosperously as they have hitherto carried them

on.

SOMERSETSHIRE. The wheat has been stacked or brought home. The injury done by the partial rains is not material to the wheat. The lent grain has improved, but the oats and barley will prove short.

SUSSEX. The weather has been highly favourable to the harvest, which enabled the farmers generally to get up the whole of their wheat in very prime condition; and so much so that in many instances it was taken from the field to the barn floors for immediate threshing-a finer crop never was known.

SCOTLAND.-Scotland appears to be doubly fortunate this year; it is honoured with the presence of the Sovereign, and has every reason to expect an abundant harvest. The potatoes have a most beautiful appearance. The crops in Argyleshire never looked better, but they are, at least, fourteen days later than those around Glasgow. In the Highlands the crops generally promise well, and on the western coast they are excellent.

IRELAND. The accounts are various, speculative, and consequently fluctuating. But from there being new grain in all their markets, and that in large quantities, we are convinced that the harvest is unusually early; and we have a strong proof of its abundance in the content and plenty its produce has already spread in those counties where it is the most forward.

FRUITS.-We never recollect a more plentiful or more early year for fruits in general than this has been. The wall fruits are extremely fine, and are to be had in all counties, and in all markets, in great plenty. Apples will be very abundant, and are unusually large, probably owing to the profuse rain with which our orchards have been fertilized. The quantity of cider expected to be made will be considerable.
