No. 5, also in Latin, is remarkable for reciting no fewer than eleven occasions on which Hanicius, son of Julius, paymaster of the third Cyrenaic legion, had heard the same sound; namely, four times in the fourth year of the reign of Augustus, once in the third year, as M. Letronne thinks, of Vespasian, and six times in the fourth year of the same emperor. Another inscription found at Dakkeh testifies that this legion was in Upper Egypt, also, during the reign of Tiberius. No. 6, is by Tiberius Claudius Heron, in the eighth year of Vespasian. No. 7 bears the name of a woman, Funisulana Vetulla, wife of Caius Lælius Africanus, prefect of Egypt, and the date of the 31st Jan. A.D. 84, the first year of Domitian. This lady visited the statue three times, but heard the sound only the last time.

The third part, in Latin, is a notice No. 16 (Latin), quite perfect, or at least that the prefect's inscription was engraved by Titus Attius Musa, president of the second cohort. No. 10 serves only to prove, that in the fifth year of the Emperor Adrian, 12th calends of March, at half-past one, Titus Hatenius Nepos, prefect of Egypt, heard the sound (15 Feb. A.D. 121). I, Balbilla, heard the speaking stone, The divine voice of Memnon or Phamenoth. I came along with the beloved Queen Sabinna; On the 25th day of the month Athyr. No. 22 commemorates the simple fact of the sound being heard during the first hour (is gas) by Sabina Augusta (wife) of the Emperor Cæsar Augustus. No. 23 offers fourteen Greek verses of the same Balbilla, divided into two portions, one of six, the other of eight lines. It is addressed to offers no difficulty in being made so.

He was accompanied by his wife (riubos, conjux) Arsinoë, and his two sons Ailourion and Ptolemy: the former name is unique, and, from its derivation from augos, a cat, shews the usage of compounding Greek names from Egyptian manners. In No. 26 Quintus Apollonius Boethus testifies to his having heard the sound with the foregoing. In No. 27 we learn the fact that for three generations the office of exidinaors, or chief judge, was held in the same family by father, son, and grandson; and as it is in the Greek language, it is probable that this office was given by the Romans to Greeks: the name is Caius Julius Dionysius. òg is used for vids. inscription of the oasis, has the sense of public, though an Italian, composes in Greek, is, the Second Part: Inscriptions without a Date.

In No. 32 Memnon is called Quiratos, and mention is made of a month named Adgiavos. This appellation occurs also, according to M. Letronne, in an astrological papyrus preserved in the Royal Museum of Paris, where it is stated that the 8th of the month Adrian corresponded to the 18th of the old Egyptian Tybi. M. Letronne conjectures, with great probability, from the nonconcurrence of this month with any other, that it was introduced to flatter the emperor, and that it was made to begin on the 24th of Athyr, the month preceding Tybi, being the day on which Adrian arrived at Thebes. The thirty days, then, of the month of Agiavos would be from the 20th of November to the 19th of December. No. 33 only mentions the twentieth year of Adrian. the reign of Adrian. No. 41 presents six Greek iambics, probably of another Cæcilia, daughter of the foregoing Cæcilia Tribulla. The injury done to the statue, and to the quality of the voice rendered by it, in consequence of the violence of Cambyses, are pathetically described.

No. 45 is too imperfect for any thing else to be extracted from it than that more than one person had visited the statue in vain, no sound being heard. No. 46, also very imperfect, offers only to M. Letronne the opportunity of referring the expression οὐκ ἀκάρηνος ἔης ποτ', to a testimony that Memnon was not always thus without a head. Second Section of the Second Part: No. 60 presents the following hexameter: — No. 64 gives the names of M. Herennius Faustus and Julius Fadius, of the seventh cohort. The following inscriptions, to No. 72 inclusive, the number of the whole which are on the statue, are very short and imperfect, and they only present a few titles of legions and cohorts; they are almost all notices of military visitors.

DRAMA. KING'S THEATRE.

Notwithstanding the inimitable representation of Gli Orazi e Curiazi and Il Turco in Italia, the merits of the vocalists were quite overlooked. All ears appeared to have been shut; and it was not till auditors were told to become spectators, the legs Talionis being in sight, that the very (query, pseudo?) musical multitude could be induced to open their eyes. Previous to the row-ballet not a hand was heard. All digits were reserved for the dancer's toes; and when Terpsichore stood upon these extreme points, the Bulls in the pit were absolutely roaring with delight, and seemed ready to stand on their heads, if not their horns. What the dilettanti are to do upon the dancer's departure, Laporte only can tell; doubtless the manager has something in reserve to rouse the dormant propensities of the musical world.

We are assured that the noble author has discovered new traits in the character and conduct of Hampden; and we trust that, not only by his own assiduity and research, but by the communications of literary friends, he may be enabled to illustrate the era he has chosen with much original information.

Bread.-Baron Ferrusac states, that there are in Paris 500,000 persons who subsist chiefly on bread, and that an increase in the price of this article, at the rate of one halfpenny per day, makes a difference in the year of 9,125,000 francs.
