DAVID, the prince of modern painters, is preparing to exhibit one of his chef d'œuvres in London. It is a large picture, which contains several hundred portraits of the most meritorious men of the Revolution, and of the court of Napoleon. As the first picture of this great master which has been seen in England, it will recommend itself to the general attention of amateurs of the arts, while in other respects it will be interesting to public feeling. M. David was one of those patriots who, as a member of the Convention, complied with the voice of all France, and with the circumstances of the times, in voting for the death of Louis the Sixteenth; and who for this act of public duty, conscientiously performed, has been exiled from France, in defiance of the general amnesty, voluntarily published in 1813 by Louis the 18th at Hartwell. He and his family reside at Brussels, where he pursues his studies with unabated ardour; but his best works remain at Paris, where many of them are excluded from public view by the bad and illiberal spirit which is now dominant among the factions in authority in France.

Shortly will be published, a very considerable portion of the celebrated treatise of Cicero de Republica, discovered by M. Angelo Mai, the Keeper of the Vatican Library, in a codex rescriptus. The fragments are not only such as to increase our regret at the loss of the entire work, but are of sufficient length to give a correct idea of the whole. The Life and Remains of the late Dr. Clarke, of Cambridge, is in the press. Mr. BRITTON is preparing a handsome volume, descriptive and illustrative of Fonthill Abbey. He has been at that mansion collecting mate rials for its history, and making descriptive notes. Mr. Cattermole, the artist employed by him, has made claborately-finished drawings on the spot. Some of these are peculiarly rich, effective, and splendid. The interior views are so brilliant in colouring, with purple, scarlet, crimson, gold, ebony, painted glass, &c. that nothing but high finishing and colouring on the spot can do justice to the subjects.

The Persian Gulf and the Red Sea were to be particularly explored and surveyed. Cumberland-gate, the great northern entrance to Hyde-park, is about from the classical taste of Mr. HOPE. to undergo a very great improvement This gentleman, with a public spirit which cannot be too highly commended, has made an offer to remove the old gate, and erect a new one, with a double entrance, at his own expense. This offer has been accepted; the workmen have already began their der which the work is to be performed, operations; and, from the auspices un we have no doubt it will do credit to and remain a lasting ornament to the the taste and opulence of the founder, metropolis. An Historical Sketch of the United States of America is in the press, acmade during a residence of several companied by personal observations years in that country, by ISAAC HOLMES. The tenth quarterly number of the Investigator will be published on the 1st of October. been discovered at Matham, near A vessel, sixty feet in length, has Rolvenden, Kent. It was found bu ried ried partly under the bed of the river Rother, where it is supposed to have lain 500 years. The following description of it has appeared in the local newspapers: "It is conjectured, with a great degree of probability, to have been a Dutch or Da mish vessel lost in the great storm of 1286, which diverted the original course of the Rother to its present channel. On a casual inspection the appearance of the vessel favours but little such hypotheses as ascribe to it a title to such remote anti quity; it differs apparently but little from a west-country barge of the present day; though several minutiæ observable on a closer view, together with the date ascribed to the several articles found on board, give it nevertheless some claim to attention as a relic of former years. A flat-bottomed boat, much decayed, though apparently of more modern construction than the vessel itself, has been discovered astern, and has occasioned conjecture to recede still further from the idea of ascribing to it even that degree of antiquity which it had previously held claim to, but is supposed, generally, to be altogether unconnected with her; her planks are put together after the present mode, she is caulked with hair, and as high as the vessel's stern. A plate of pewter or silver has been detached from her larboard quar. ter, where it was affixed by nails, it has the letters at the top; in other parts of the vessel the following articles were found:-A time-keeper, greatly resem bling a milk-skimmer, and but little decayed; the holes for the insertion of pegs to note down the time, as recorded by the escape of the sand in the hour-glass; two dead eyes, thinner than the present make; three can hooks, apparently modern; the breast bone of a bird, as thick as a twopenny piece; the horns of some animal, and several pieces of rope and iron. The vessel is caulked with moss, her stern is straight, and her rudder pressed close against her stern, on the starboard side." The Cento, a volume of prose selections, from the most approved works of living authors, will appear in the course of the ensuing month. The Rev. T. H. HORNE, M.A. has in the press, a third edition of his Introduction to the Critical Study and Knowledge of the Holy Scriptures, in four volumes octavo, corrected, and illustrated with numerous maps and fac-similes of biblical manuscripts.

GOETHE'S Poetical Works, in one Mr. W. S. HARRIS has lately exemplified, by experiment on the Louisa and Caledonia men-of-war at Plymouth, the utility of his invention for restoring the electrical equilibrium, by the means of a copper conductor fixed in the masts, through the bottom of ships. Mr. H. proposes to place in the back of the masts a slip of copper, which is to be continued to the interior or hole of the cap of each mast; consequently, coming into contact with the mast above, the continuity will be preserved, without preventing the upper masts being lowered. The conductors of the lower masts are to be continued to the keel, and made to communicate with one or more rior copper or the water. This arrangecopper bolts in contact with the exte ment preserves a permanent conductor, so long as any part of the mast is continued. We have often recommended the same principle for the preservation of houses and buildings. Lead or copper should be used instead of the ridge tile, and a slip of the same material should be continued to the ground. This would constitute the most perfect species of conductor. The pointed rods, often erected at great expense, are silly toys, or species of philosophical clap-traps addressed to the gazing vulgar. Mr. THOMAS DALE, B.A. of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, author of the "Widow of the City of Nain," is preparing for publication a new translation of the Tragedies of Sophocles; the object of which has been, to ren der the various metres of the Greek tragedian, by measures, as nearly corresponding with the original as the genius of the English language will permit.

In a few days, from the pen of a parent, Gleanings and Recollections to assist the Memory of Youth, dedicated from a Father to his Son. A very interesting experiment has been made of steam-vessels on canals, in the Union Canal at Edinburgh, with a large boat, twenty-eight feet long, constructed with an internal movement. The boat had twenty-six persons on board; and, although drawing fifteen inches of water, she was propelled by only four men at the rate of between four and five miles an hour, while the agitation of the water was confined entirely to the centre of the canal. According to the late statistical returns, the inhabited houses of England, Scotland, and Wales, are about 2,430,000; and the uninhabited above 80,000. The total of the houses of Dublin is said to be 24,000; of these only about 16,000 pay local taxes, and full 4,000 are to be let every day in the year. The following is an analysis of the increase and decrease of crime (that is, of poverty and distress,) in the different counties: |
