and brilliant as silver. He has published a treatise on this important discovery.

A new Journal has lately appeared in Bologna, entitled, Nuova Dottrina Medica Italiana. The new Italian practice of physic. The object of the editors is to explain the origin, progress, and actual state of the doctrine of Contra Stimulus. They have commenced with extracts from the works of M. Thomasini, and other eminent physicians; but particularly from those of M. Rasoni, who is regarded as the founder of this new doctrine. The first part of the journal is composed of these extracts; and, under the head of varieties, are given clinical observations, and polemical discussions. Italy possesses some other journals connected either directly or indirectly with the diffusion of medical science; but this is the only one which aims at tracing the progress of Italian medicine, and at presenting the public with a complete treatise on the art.

Count Litta has lately published, at Milan, a new chart of the Southern States of the Church. It is divided into four topographical numbers, accompanied by two numbers of explanation. The author has examined, and corrected all the general and particular maps which were already published; and, profiting by every thing he found in them worth notice, he has given one which is esteemed greatly superior to all the rest. He has pointed out whatever is most remarkable in the different parts, relative to their learning, history, chronology, natural history, and population. His observations are just, and presented with great correctness of expression. What interests most, perhaps, is a table of mensuration, arranged in a clear and perspicuous manner, and reduced to measure. He has also laboured to ascertain the ancient Roman mile more correctly than any of his predecessors have done. According to his calculations, it consists of 1471, 23, or 1469, 84 fathoms.

PORTUGAL.

A Society for the Encouragement of National Industry was instituted at Lisbon, the 27th of last April. Its principal object is to collect, and publish all the discoveries useful to agriculture, the arts, and to foreign and domestic commerce. It will distribnte prizes yearly to such scholars, artists, mechanics, &c. as shall answer most satisfactorily to the questions proposed by the Society. It intends to form an establishment, to be entitled the Con

servatory of the Arts, in which will be deposited the machines, models, and plans of artists, in order to excite emulation, extend knowledge, and encourage talent. The minister of war is at this moment president of this Society, and has been chiefly instrumental in its formation.

It has been ascertained, with certainty, that the Zodiack of Denderah has been purchased by Louis XVIII. out of his own privy purse. It is said, the Zodiack will be placed in the ceiling of the Louvre, but it will be extremely necessary in attending to the execution of this project, that the public and the curious may not be deprived of inspecting it with ease, and of the means of studying it. It is also necessary to make the hollow in which it will be placed strong and solid, so that it may be conveniently handled.

SWITZERLAND.

The ecclesiastical counsel of the Canton of Berne has been directed to organize an Institution for the Education of deaf and dumb Children, born in the country. The future director of this interesting establishment will be first sent to foreign countries to study, at the national expense, the particular methods of instruction which are adopted in educating the deaf and dumb. Independent of the ordinary instruction adopted in other schools, he will have to give his pupils the elementary instructions of manual labour, either of agriculture or of mechanical

painting of the Transfiguration of Ra phael, these two societies have expressed this most favourable judgment; " that it unites," according to the expression of the secretary of the Society of Artists, "the energy of engraving in relief to the sweetness of dotting."

GREECE.

Though the provisional seat of government is fixed at Corinth, it has been resolved, that Athens is to be the capital of all Greece. The national arms is supported by a Minerva, with the attributes of wisdom. The colours are a light blue and white, united by a cross. The orthodox religion is proclaimed the religion of the state: all other religions, however, are tolerated and protected. To be a citizen, it is necessary to be a Grecian by birth, and of some Christian communion. A foreigner may become a citizen by an act of naturalization, provided be profess some Christian ritual. The legislation will be provisionally founded on the laws of the ancient emperors of France, but the present commercial and military codes of France are proclaimed to be the national laws. The colours of the King of France will form a part of the arms of the Greek union. These resolutions have been adopted, according to the terms made use of in the act of the Congress, as a testimony of grateful remembrance of the protection, which the Consul of France extended to all the Greeks at Patras, in 1821; and have been signed by the president Maurocordato, the vice-president Mauromichali, and the secretary Theodore Negri. A resolution has

been entered into to establish immediately, at Athens, schools, museums, and libraries; so that the blessings of learning and liberty will soon be extended over this ancient country of arts and civilization.

A Journal, called the Grecian Trumpet, which was originally published at Calamata, is now being published at Corinth.

A Collection of the Acts of the Senate of Peloponesus.-A collection of all the patriotic proclamations and acts of this Senate, which have appeared from the commencement of the heroic struggle of the Greeks against their oppressors, has been translated from the original modern Greek into French, by M. Mustoxydi, a learned Greek of the city of Corfu. It is said that this translation, which has been transmitted to Paris, will be shortly published.

Population.-The Peninsula contains about two millions of souls; the Morea and Negropont, one million; the Islands, one million. Making a total of four millions. Of these the Greeks may be computed at not less than three millions, the rest being composed of Turks, Mussulmen, Albanians, Jews, and the mixed descendants of Romans, Venetians, Neapolitans, and other Europeans, known generally by the name of Franks. The population of the Seven Ionian Islands, now under British rule, has been estimated at 200,000, the majority of them Greeks. Of these Corfu may contain from 60 to 70,000; Cepha lonia, 60.000; Zante, 40,000; Santa Maura, 18,000; Ithaca and Cerigo, each 8,000; and Paxo, 3 or 4,000.

Mr. Edward Blaquiere is engaged in a work on the revolution of Spain, which will form a sequel to his work upon Sicily, now preparing for publica tion at Paris.

THE autumnal wheats, with the usual local exceptions, will be a great crop, perhaps considerably beyond an average, and the harvest is as early as in the most favourable years. Some complaints still continue of the roughness and intractable state of the clays and heavy land fallows, which had no winter frost to mellow and render them friable. The consequence will be, not only a bad tilth, but superabundant crop of couch grass for future seasons. On good and moist soils the potatoes look blooming and luxuriant; on those of an arid description, the crop will be greatly defective: they are, however, cheaper now in some parts of England than ever before known. Sheep shearing has been universally early, and most successful. The wool, having had no impediment to its growth from the rigours of winter, and the sheep having been well kept, their fleece was early ripe, weighs

Not

well, and is full of condition. withstanding the want of rain, the crops of grass, natural and artificial, with some failures, were never carlier or heavier, nor the hay better preserved, or of a more nutritious quality, being full of seed. Hops, with all the usual defects of an uncertain season, are likely to prove a heavier crop than may be agreeable to some considerable holders. Many farmers, who continue the old practice of broad casting beans, will find the present season a corrective one. Soiling cattle and horses has been very successful. The advance on lean stock has continued, whilst the depression of price in meat and corn has been regularly progressive, foreboding a still farther and, perhaps, considerable decline, Milch cows are cheaper ;-pigs and pork below every thing else in price.-The harvest is become general throughout the kingdom.

COTTON.-The Cotton Market this forenoon is particularly heavy, notwithstanding the favourable accounts received from Liverpool and Glasgow. The improvement in the demand and in the prices at Liverpool has little effect on this market; aud during the last week, India descriptions were offered at a small reduction without facilitating sales. The purchases since our last are entirely confined to parcels for export.

COFFEE. The demand for Coffee during the last week was brisk and very extensive; 1537 casks, and 836 bags were brought forward, and not withstanding the sales being continued till an unusual late hour, yet the biddings were animated, and higher prices were generally obtained at the close of the sales than at the commencement; the market was rather higher.

SUGAR.-The demand for Muscovades continued general and rather extensive till Thursday, when a public sale of 126 hhds. 13 tierces Barbadoes Sugar sold heavily at a reduction of 2s. per cwt. and checked the market; the business done afterwards was inconsiderable, and the market last week closed heavily.

There was a plentiful supply of new Sugars on show this morning, and a great proportion of good quality, the consequence has been a full attendance

of buyers, and contrary to the general expectation (from the heaviness of the market last week), there have been rather extensive purchases, and at prices a shade higher; the Refiners have appeared at market, and have today purchased rather freely. The estimated sales to-day, 1200 hhds.

The supply of Refined Goods is very limited, and, from the trade lately doing little business, it is believed the quantity for some weeks to come will be quite inconsiderable; the demand is, however, on a very confined scale, and some low lumps sold last week at the reduced price of 74s. 6d. and 74s. In patent goods there is little variation.Molasses were last week 26s.; to-day, 27s. 6d.

CORN.-The Corn market will be governed entirely by the state of the weather for some weeks to come. Since our last it has been alternately rain and sunshine, and very favourable for the harvest. There were more enquiries made after fine fresh thrashed Barley at rather higher prices. Stained samples dull and lower. Oats exceedingly heavy, at a small reduction.-Beans in extensive supply, and 1s. lower.-In Boiling Peas, no alteration; grey at a decline of 1s. per quarter. Rapeseed was heavy, and 21. per last lower.

HEMP, FLAX, and TALLOW.-The prices of yellow candle Tallow declined
