the vast utility of such a plan, which 
there is little doubt will, ere long, be 
earried into practice.

The Earl of Carlisle has recently pur- 
chasedvall Mr. Tresnam’s fine collection 
of Etruscan Vases, &c. and all the ori- 
ginal drawings by that ingenious artist. 
This ourchase, by desire of Mr. Tresham, 
was made in the form of an annuity for 
hig life; and the noble Lord, it seems, 
introduced one clause in the covenant, 
which is perfectly in unison with his li- 
beral and munificent character, viz. 
that Mr. Tresham shall agree to pass a 
month, or as much longer as he pleases, 
every summer at Castle Howard. of, 
A reel, intended for’ the use of mille 
spinners, has been invented by a manus

facturer in Montrose, so constructed tliat 
it will not move after a thread breaks,

A model, upon a sinall scale, is at pre- 
sent inthe possession of the inventor, 
and is acknowledged by all who have 
seen it, to be both simple and perfect ; 
and, however careless servants may be,- 
it will be impossible for them, without an 
intended fraud, to make bad work; and 
more can be done with the new reel, 
than by the present mode of reeling. 
The proprietors of the National Ins 
stitution at the Pantheon, have added to 
that establishment an Apollonian Mu~ 
seum, intended to be not only a depo- 
sitory for the approved compositions 
already published, but a source also 
whence every man of genius, whether an 
author, an inventor, or a manufacturer, 
may exhibit his works to the world under 
circumstances of benefit to himself, which 
the present system does not afford. He 
may also exhibit notices of new or re- 
vived publications.in the Museum, three 
months from the time they are printed. 
One course of lectures in the year will 
comprise a review of all musical publi- 
cations, new and revived; and also all 
newly invented musical instruments, as 
well as a retrospect of manuscript com- 
positions, This mode is adapted to 
bring forward genius, it being. evident 
that few, except those who are at the 
head of the profession, or who are the 
favourites of instrumental performers and 
singers, have an opportunity of getting a 
piece publicly exhibited. It is intended 
that this branch of the National Insti- 
tution shall be placed’ under the imme- 
diate direction of Dr. Kemp, who will 
not only become the responsible con- 
ductor of the musical establishment, but 
so arrange a regular series of lectures on 
musical subjects, as to render his exer- 
tions a constant means of instruction and 
amusement to the lovers of the art. 
Mr. Satt, deputed by the British go- 
vernment on a mission to Abyssinia, has 
returned to England, He left this coun- 
try in March, 1809, touched at Madeira, 
and the Cape, where Admiral Bertie 
afforded him convoy to Mosambique,. 
From Mosambique, he proceeded to 
Adeen, where he visited the Sultan, and 
then through the streights to Mocha» 
Here he made preparations for prose- 
cuting the objects of his mission. In 
December he crossed over to the oppo- 
site coast, where, a new port being dis- 
covered on this occasion at Amphyla, he 
endeavoured, and, at length with great
