An Institute of Science, Literature, and the Fine Arts, was set on foot at Mexico on the 1st of April, 1826.-Bolivar, La Fayette, Abbes Gregoire and de Pradt, Mr. Canning, and Baron de Humboldt, have been made associates. The name of Miguel Cervantes figures amongst the honorary members.

Two Prize Questions, one on History, and another on Political Economy; the reward to be one hundred ducats each, have been proposed this year, by the Imperial Academy of St Petersburgh. Two other prize questions, the one by the president of the Academy, the other by an anonymous person, have been also proposed. The learned of all nations may enter the lists-the treatises may be written in Prussian, French, German, or Latin.

The Italian Society of Sciences, residing at Modena, has published the nineteenth volume of its Memoirs, containing ten papers sent by various members, upon subjects of physic and natural history; among others, by Raddi, who travelled in the interior of Brazils; Giovene, on the geology of Puglia, in the kingdom of Naples; Giovanni Aldini; Vassalli Eandi; Targioni Tozzetti; Moscati, and other well known scientific characters.

A new society has been formed in Tuscany, under the title Societá di Geografia, Statistica e Storia Naturale patria. Its object is to promote the study of the above sciences, as connected with Tuscany; and the formation of a library and a museum, of the natural productions of the country. The reigning Grand Duke, Leopold II., has approved and encouraged this institution; and several of the most distinguished among the learned, and the patrons of learning in Tuscany, are its active members.
