4. Excavations at Pompeia, — A public edifice has recently 

 been discovered near the forum of Pompeia, which is supposed 

 to be the Chalcidicum, and an inscription importing that the 

 edifice was built at the expense of the Priestess Eumachia. 

 A few days after the above discovery, a statue of the same 

 priestess was found in perfect preservation. This statue is 

 said to very far surpass in grace, elegance, and grandeur, all 

 the works of art that had previously been dug from the ruins of 

 this town. 



5. Population^ ^c, of Paris. — From a work lately published 

 in Paris, it appears, that that city contains 714,000 inhabitants, 

 ef which 25,000 are not domiciled. The consumption of bread 

 annually is 11 3,880,000 kilogrammes (251, 336,7 191bs.); of oxen, 

 70,000; of heifers, 9,000; calves, 78,000; sheep, 34,000; 

 swine, 72,000 ; eggs, 74,000,000 ; pigeons, 900,000 ; fowls, 

 1,200,000; wine, 870,000 hectolitres (22,968,000 gall.) 



6. Population of Sweden. — According to the last census, 

 taken in 1819, the population of the kingdom of Sweden 

 amounted to 2,543,412 inhabitants. The amount of the re- 

 gisters of what is called the civil state of Stockholm, for the 

 year 1819, has produced a result unfavourable for the popu- 

 lation. The births were 2,329, and the deaths 3,238 ; a dimi- 

 nution has therefore taken place of 909 individuals. Almost 

 one-half of the children are born out of marriage ; out of three 

 children one has invariably died. The marriages have been 

 504, and the divorces 24. 



7. Population of Glasgow.— An actual survey, to determine
