Shortly will be published, a very 
considerable portion of the celebrated 
treatise of Cicéro de Republica, disco- 
yered by M. Angelo Mai, the Keeper 
of the Vatican Library, in a codex re- 
scriptus. The fragments are not only 
such as to increase our regret at the 
loss of the entire work, but are of s:uf- 
ficient length to give a correct idea of 
the whole. 
The Life and Remains of the late 
Dr. Clarke, of Cambridge, is in the 
ress. 
Mr. Britton is preparing a hand- 
some volume, descriptive and iHus-

rials for its history, and making de- 
scriptive notes. Mr. Cattermole, the 
artist employed by him, has made ela- 
borately-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. 
Fifty Lithographic Prints, illustra- 
tive of a tour in France, Switzerland,

and 21, from original drawings taken

The Rey. Dr. Evans has on the eve 
of publication, a new edition, with one 
hundred sketches of biography, of his

Towards the close of last year an 
expedition was fitted out from Dept- 
ford, consisting of the Leven and Ba- 
raceuta, from which accounts have 
been lately received, announcing that 
on the 28th of May they were about 
to proceed on the further objects of 
their voyage. The Persian Gulf and 
the Red Sea were to be particularly 
explored and surveyed. 
Cumberland-gate, the great north- 
ern entrance to Hyde-park, is about 
to undergo a very great improvement 
from the classical taste of Mr. Hore. 
This gentleman, with a public spirit 
which cannot be too highly commend- 
ed, 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 
operations ; and, from the auspices un- 
der which the work is to be performed, 
we have no doubt it will do credit to 
the taste and opulence of the founder, 
and remain a lasting ornament to the 
metropolis. 
An Historical Sketch of the United 
States of America is in the press, ac- 
companied by personal observations 
made during a residence of several
