The Paris Presse contains the following statements: "Miners who work in the Spanish silver- mine known as the 'white pebble pit' belongingfor a long time to the Orfila family, have just made a discovery which is alike interesting to art and areha3- ology. Whilst digging their subterranean walks they suddenly found themselves in Passages whose origin dates from the re motest centuries. They further discovered a thorough, and scientific system of mining, implemente being in such a good state of preservation that it could be determined that it was not a Roman, but a Carthage nian or Phcenician mine... The hatchets, sieves for ore, but particularly a smelting furnace and two anvils,excite the interest of engineers in the highest degree. All these articles were carefully collected, and -will enable scientific examinations to be prose cuted with greater exactitude than was possible after a merely superficial view. . Particular attention will be paid to the re markable instruments and objects 9f art which are said to fill the niches of a •intun da in the centre of the mine. This rotunda appears to have been the spot dedicated to The godspresiding over mines. It was occu pied by three statues; one sitting down, and of halt life size, and the other two standing, and about three feet in height. These statues remind us neither of Roman or Grecian art —but rather touch the style of that world of sculpture which was discovered in the year 1854 on the other side of the mountains, and which is now being pieserved in theArmeria, at Madrid, and is known as the "Cartha genian Hercules.'" The same symbols are found on a tripod and chest which were leaning against the sides of the rotunda. Mne of science were already excited by the discovery of 1854; and the present one will certainly throw a light on the study of a civ ilization which was once very mighty, and -is now almost extinct. The tools, imple ments and obiects of arts, at present, form part of the cabinet of M. Lassery, at Valla dolid." Ex.plosion at the Washington Arsenal.

If be dispose of it at its cost, his course of lust, action will cost him nothing. Second.—The scheme Is entirely practicable, as Its success will require less Van three timesthe patronage enjoyed by this I nstituticu during the past year.
