HANTS. 



An alarmmg fire broke out lately at Mr. .^slett's 

 coacli-maimfacfory, Southampton, which was en- 

 tirely destroyed, and several of the adjoining houses 

 much injured. We regret to add that the engines 

 and leathern hoses were in an inefficient condition. 

 Many labourmg people who had assembled refused 

 to assist ui saving the property without being paid 

 for their trouble! A subscription was soon after 

 opened for the relief of the distressed and industrious 

 proprietor, and which was commenced by a magni- 

 ficent donation of fifty pounds from Mr. Fleming, 

 and of twenty-five and twenty pounds from Mr. 

 llottcn, Mr. Bcckford, Mr. Atherly, &c. &c

SOMERSET. 



There have been lately presented to the Somer- 

 raerset and Taunton Institution, by John Quantock, 

 esq., three sepulchral stones brought from the ruins 

 of Thebes. They consist of one sculptured stone, 

 one painted, and one inscribed with hieroglyphical 

 characters. The figures appear to represent the 

 worship of Osiris. There are two compartments on 

 the sculptured stone ; in the upper the Egyptian 

 god, Osiris, is naked, sitting in a chair, with a cap 

 like a mitre on his head, with two horns ; he holds 

 a rod in his left hand, in his right a whip with three 

 thongs. There is an altar before hiin, on which is 

 placed a vase, and over it hangs the lotus. A figure 

 stands before him with a staff hi his right hand, 

 something like a crutch; in his left, which is hang- 

 ing downwards, is an hieroglyphic. This is said to 

 be the symbol of Typhon the brother of Osiris ; he 

 appears as if addressing the god. The lower com- 

 partment seems to represent Isis with an attendant. 

 This stone has a piece broken ofi' from the right- 

 liand comer, and, from the appearance of the adjoin- 

 ingjparts, it would seem that some figure had occu- 

 pied the space. The painted stone contains a repre- 

 sentation of Qsiris under another form ; in this figure 

 the head is that of a hawk, Osiris being sometimes 

 represented with the head of that bird, which, by its 

 quick and piercing eyes, is an emblem of the sun, 

 of which Osiris was the symbol; the head in this 

 has the cap also similar to the mitre; he is in a stand- 

 ing posture, clothed, with both hands before him ; the 

 bended rod and whip, and crutched staff, being held in 

 the right hand of the figure spoken of above. There 

 are two female figures, one behind the other, and 

 an altar similar to that on the sculptured stone, with 

 a vase or urn upon it ; and there are considerable 

 patches of hieroglj-phical writing on both stones; 

 the third is wholly inscribed with hiert^lyphical 

 characters. 



At two meetings lately holdcn, one in the parish 

 of Ashcolt, the other at Glastonbury, W. Dickinson, 

 esq., M.P., in the chair, it was resolved to apply to 

 Parliament, during the next session, for an act to 

 make a tumpike-road from Langport across King's 

 Sedgmoor towards Bristol. It is also in contempla- 

 tion to make a new line of road from Langport 

 through Kingsbury Episcopi to Crewkeme, for 

 which an act of Parliament has been passed. 



It was unanimously resolved, ata respectable meet- 

 ing lately held at Glastonbury, that £l(i,(itiObe im- 

 mediately raised, in shares of £25 each, for the pur- 

 pose of cutting a canal (to be called the Glastonbury 

 and Highbridge Canal), by which vessels of 50 tons 

 burthen will be brought into the vale of Glaston- 

 bury.
