“ln Britain, one individual out of every 
5 one-eighth, is employed in agriculture ; in 
Derbyshire 5 one-twelfth are so employed. 
In Britain, an equal proportion of the popula- 
tion is ¢mployed in agriculture as in manu- 
factures, or 1 ia 5 one-eighth in each ease; 
but in ‘Derbyshire, 1 in 4 one-twelfth are 
employed in'manufactures 5 which last, strik-

average of Britain to the cultivation and im: 
provement Of their soil, yet have they one 
person in about every twenty-one’ more of 
their whole population, employed in maau- 
factures and handicrafts, than on the average 
of Britain is the case. If we take England 
and Wales to contain 37,267,000 aéres, then 
there is 23 chree- fifths acres to eachinhabited 
house, and 4 one-fifth. acres to each indivi- 
dual; while Derbyshire, containing 622,080 
acres, gives a house to each 194 acres nearly, 
and a person to less than every 5 four-fif.hs 
acres of its surface, much as has been said to 
its disparagement in the national scale, by 
former writers, who have expatiated on its 
bleak and steril wastes, and on the inhospi- 
table climate of its alpine mountains.”

Mr. Wriiramt Watron, who has been 
long resident in St. Domingo, is en- 
gaged in drawing up a statistical account

This gentleman, whose researe# has 
been ‘general, and whose labou%s pro- 
mise to be of great utility to our trade, 
has, among other curiosities, brought 
over a specimen of South American my- 
thological sculpture, of great singularity 5 
it is an idol of granite, of the hardest 
texture, and represents a disk gently 
curved at the bottom, soas to enable the 
image to roll, on which reposes a ring 
' @ut of which issues a sort of phallic stem, 
that is crowned with a fierce human_

head, and some apendages, that it is 
difficult to discover the meaning of; 
itis amass balancing the head, that is 
by a 
cross. The head is capped by an orna- 
ment, tepresenting a thunderbolt, or two 
tridents linked tovether by a bar. The 
whole is worked with great correctness’ 
and truth, like the Egyptian idols, but 
the character of the head is Mexican. 
He has also a specimen of.their earthen- 
ware, very hard baked, being the legs of 
a vase that represent a monkey’s head ; 
the whole much like Etruscan, or ‘early. 
Greek, and manifesting great regularity 
in tae mould, as well ag a systematic 
style of art that is very original, but ap- 
proaches more to the Egypuan than any 
other. |

where they are placed as nearly in the 
same position in which they were found, 
after the tumulus or hillock of lanes 
was cleared 
away. 
SCHIAVONETTI’s merit was never duly 
“appreciated before his death: 
monument will always be that chaste en- 
graving which he made of Mr, Howard's 
copy of the picture at Mr. Coke’s, froma 
Michael Angelo ; 
of envy and praise duly merited: where 
the Florentine soldiers are springing 
from the Arno to encounter their ene.
