Since the above account was received we have seen Mr. Phillips, who has in¬ 
formed us, that the Antheum wiil be instantly rebuilt. It is highly gratifying 
to learn, that so gigantic an undertaking is not to be abandoned. For from the 
known talents of the architect, Decimus Burton Esq, who designed the Collos 
seum, and now engages to rebuild the Antheum, no doubt can be entertained of 
the substantial completion of the edifice, and we trust Mr. Phillips will meet 
with the most liberal encouragement. j. p. 
Rebuilding of the Antheum. —Henry Phillips avails himself of the oppor¬ 
tunity of thus publicly returning thanks to those numerous friends throughout 
the kingdom who have so feelingly expressed their condolence at his late calam¬ 
ity. The misfortune was occasioned by the misconduct of one of the foremen 
of the works, who, unknown to his employer, took upon himself to remove the 
supports, before the proper ties were added, which would have prevented the pos¬ 
sibility of the fall of the edifice. H. P. has, however, the pleasure to add, that 
having received the most liberal offers of support, and the highest patronage of 
the country, he has determined on rebuilding the Antheum, the management 
of which he has placed in the hands of Decimus Burton, Esq. as architect, as¬ 
sisted by the most eminent engineer of the day. It will be readily believed, that 
the fall has been an immense loss to the proprietor, and unless he had received 
the most liberal encouragement, the re-erection of it would have been out of 
the question. 
To meet the extra contingencies, independent of the main cost of re-erecting 
it, the following plan has been suggested as most likely to assist the proprietor 
in completing this national object, in the unique manner it was originally de¬ 
signed :—“ That one hundred silver tickets, of £50 each, be issued, which will 
entitle the holders to a free admission, in addition to interest thereon, at 5 per 
cent, per annum, which tickets may be subdivided. The holder of each half 
ticket being entitled to a free admission for two persons in lieu of interest. Po*. 
sons residing ten miles from Brighton, may make their tickets transferable, by 
giving notice of the same in writing.”— Henry Phillips.

OR OBSERVATIONS ON NATURE, FOR OCTOBER. 
An excellent perrenial pasture plant, the Bird’s-foot Trefoil, Lotus cornicula- 
tus, (Fig. 61, I) abounds in all our fields and pastures; it varies much in size, in 
the direction of the stems, and the greater or less hairiness of the leaves, which 
are obovate and entire; the flowers are yellow, and the pods long. 
In our marshes and boggy grounds, the Pinguicula vulgaris, or Common But- 
terwort, (2) may be found plentifully, both in the north of England and in Scot¬ 
land ; the flowers are of a purple colour. In watery places, the Water-Blinks, 
or Water-Chiekweed (Montia fontana, 3) may be gathered. This is a little suc¬ 
culent Annual plant, with prostrate rooting stems, from two to four inches long, 
with minute greenish white flowers. 
Molluscous Animals.— A large bivalve shell, that of the Anodon Cygneus, 
(1) maybe found in rivers; it grows nearly three inches long, and above six
