A miiseuin of national antiquities and a 

 cabinet of natural liistory are about to be 

 established at Bergen. Tliey \\\\\ be formed 

 on the model of other establishments of a 

 similar nature in the various countries of 

 Europe, and Avill no doubt prove very inte- 

 n.'sting, not only to tlie Xorwcgians, but to 

 tiie learned and scientific of all nations. 



Sjiai-facus. — M.Koler, the keeper of the 

 Imperial Cabinet of Antiquities of St. Pc- 

 tsvsbur;,'!!, has lately published a descrip- 

 tion of a number of vei-y curious ancient 

 medals and coins collected by Count Ro- 

 inanzoft', during his residence in the Crimea. 

 Ainong thorn is a remarkably fine one of 

 Sjwrtaeus, the king of Cimmerian Bos- 

 phorus. 



Death of Mr. Tyrwhitt.—A letter hUs 

 lately been received from the Sheikh of Bor- 

 nou, feelingly announcing the death of Mr. 

 '[■yrwliitt, who was left there in the cajia- 

 city of Vicc-Consid in 18^1-; and giving an 

 account of the property he possessed, with 

 scrupulous accuracy, even to the most in- 



significant article. Thus, out of the five 

 members of the mission, two otily survive. 



Hindoo Skull.'!. — Doctor Paterson of Cal- 

 cutta, has examined the skulls of a great 

 majiy Hindoos, and has ascertained that the 

 head of that race of men bears the propor- 

 tion of two to three to the head of a Euro- 

 pean ; or, in other words, that the head of 

 a young Ein-opean fifteen years of age, is 

 as large as that of an East- Indian of thirty. 

 If, as has been maiiitained, the largenes.s of 

 the head indicates a correspomlent intel- 

 lectual capacity, it may be understood how 

 some thirty or forty thousand Euiojieans 

 can keep in subjection a miHiou of Hin- 

 doos. 



Mufdc in Bohemia. — As 3 new proof of 

 the extraordinary pitcli to which the culti- 

 vation of music has reached in Bohetniii, 

 we state the substance of an article whicli 

 appeared a few weeks ago in the Prague 

 Gazette. A miller, of the name of Pot- 

 stobry, who lived in the small village of Be- 

 raun, bequeathed, shortly before his death, 

 his whole fortune of 17,tX1U florins to tlie 

 foundation of a Constnvatory uf ilusic in tJie 

 place where be had acquired it. On the 

 day when this conservatory was opened 

 there was a grand musical festival, tlie per- 

 formers consisting principally of the villagers 

 from the iiciglibourhood ; and the Ilc- 

 quiem of Mozart, together with the Mi- 

 serere of Pallestrius, were executed by- 

 eighty country musicians, in a style (as 

 that Gazette says) that woiUd have done 

 credit to the first orchestra in Europe. 



Prince Abbas-Mirza has issued a firman, 

 authorizing Mr. ^^'olfe, an English mis- 

 sionary, to open a school in tlie city of 

 Tauris. 



The Ycllmo Fever. — By calculations of 

 the effect which the yellow fever, at various 

 periods, has produced at Charlestown in 

 America, it appears that it is not equally 

 fatal to all classes of the inhabitants. The 

 deaths of the blacks (who form a third part 

 of the population) have been only at the 

 rate ofa half per cent., while tlie French liave 

 lost at the rate of one, the Germans one 

 and a half, the Dutch two, the Americans 

 three, and the English four per cent. Ge- 

 nerally speaking, ])ersons of a sanguine 

 temperament have been most in danger, 

 for tlic mortality among them has amounted 

 to a tenth, while among bilious peopk; it 

 has been only a fiftieth. Females liave suf- 

 feretl much less than males. 



Huiiuin Bodi/ found in a Baij in a singular 

 Dress. — The body of a man was found in a 

 hog on the lands of Gablah, near Nevvton- 

 Bellew, the seat of C. D. Bellew, Esq., in- 

 the cotmty of Galway. The bog was about 

 ten feet and a half deep, and the bo<ly lay 

 about nine feet below its surface. It bad 

 all the appearance of a recent death when 

 first discovered, excepting that the abdomen 

 was quite collapsed ; but, on exposure to 

 the atmosphere, it decayed rapidlj'. The 

 face was that of a young man, of handsome
