'lt determined to remove this Stone to Fcauco,' But, on the defeat of the Frenoh, this portion of the spoils had to be' delivered, up to the English. Gonoral Mbnou held on to the Ro setta Stono,until Lord Hutouinson, (who com manded tho English after Sir Ralph' Abeb oeomby’s death,) sent Gonoral Turneu to General Menoo’s house, to remove the. Stone, which was afterwards taken to England, and finahy deposited in the British Museum, after having been exhibited ■ for some time in tho rooms of tho Antiquarian Socioty.. ■ The uppermost inscription, in Hieroglyphic characters, occupies fourteen linos on the stone; tho middle, in Demotic, (the character used by tho Egyptians In common secnlai; writing,) fills thirty-two linos; and the lowest,’ in Greek, numbers fifty-foqr lines. Shortly aftor the arrival of tho stone in England, several plaster casts woro made, tor distribution among the British Universities, and copies of tho Greek text were en graved and generally distributed. The re. suit was several attempts,.more or loss suc cessful, to translate what waa legible of tho Greek, and sovoral ingenious efforts at filling up tho lucume, or defaced portions. These results (translations and restorations) were published in the Arohteoiogia, with pistes. Dbhon, tho Fronch savant, about the same timo, published yet more accurate engravings of tlio toxt. In England, tho late Dr. Yocna attempted to translate t£e.two othor inscriptions, with out actually knowing the language, but me chanically by measurement, (and partly by giiess,) approximated to translations of the Demotic and Hieroglyphic. In Franco, Giiam pollion, who did understand what ho took in hand, though ho failed to discovor all of the principles of the language, snccoedcd in translating portions of tho Hieroglyphics. Like Youuo, he bad, at first, only a meebani cal knowledgo of tho Demotic. He advanced beyond this, hnt few of the fruits at his more correct judgment have boon published. Mr. Osßonii, an Englishman, in his Monumental History of Egypt, made a translation of tho Hieroglyphic. But, as is remarked in the London Alhenaum for 1854, p. 1421: “ Both Mr.' Oshobn and Mr. Foster, the author of ‘Tho ono Primeval Language,’ draw largo conclusions from slender premises.; both deal largely In conjecture,'not always of tho sober est character; and both are full bf ‘ striking coincidences ’ nnd ‘ remarkable synchron isms.’ ” Two or threo attempts havo been made in Germany. Bauasou, a Prussian, who has carefully studied (he languages, has also translated those characters, but cannot bo.aaid to havo quite succeeded. De Sauloy has pub lished a partial translation of tho Demotic- This rapid recapitulation will show what has been done, during more than half a cen tury, by tho scholars and savass of Europe. Our own throe young Philadelphians have mado accurate translations, restored tho vari ous texts, tilled up many of the lacunre, snd thrown a full light npon tho mysteries of Iho Hieroglyphic and Demotic languages. We shall endeavor to indicato what eacli of theso young scholars has done. Tne Hieroglyphic translation, in this « Re port on the Rosetta Stone,” is especially the work of Mr. Morton. This text was written out by himself and Mr. Hale, and both of them wont through Champollion’s grammar, Pretls, and the works of other authors on the subject, collecting from those a rough moss In whlcji was much good, and much that was unfounded. Af ter this,by aid of “Parthey’s Coptic Vocabula ry,” the accuracy of the interpretations was woll tested, so that Coptic roots'could bo cited for nearly every word in the inscription. A partial transcript of tho Rosetta decree, in its hieroglyphic and demotic portions, (mea tionod on page 81 of tho Report,) came undsr notice, and, in tho hieroglyphic portion, as statod by Mr'. Morton, in his preface to the Hieroglyphic translation, was ol great me. This imparted a novel character to tho work, and the wonder is that it has not befora hern made use 01. In tho moan time Mr. Hale proceeded in tho study of the -Domotic dialect in a similar manner to that in which tho Hieroglyphic had been studied. He labored under the disad- vantage of having less material. -In glyphlcp, Chahpollion had cleared awajtdiffl cultles.llko a magician.

Strozfuous opposition Is made to the moasnre proposed by Hr. Law, proceeding chiefly from the institutions interested, whioh naturally desire to retain oontrol of all the funds in their posses* slon. On the other band it is assorted that the aggregate of deposits unolaimed is nearly or quite three millions; that this large sum has lain so long as to make it morally oort&in that no owner will ever appear; and that the money accumulating for the benefit of the banks should he applied to some publlc use.

It touches the heart of those who know the blessedness of giving, and it opens wide the doer for suoh to practise tbo noble virtue of benevolonoe.

Their treasury is well nigh exhausted, and it is to a generous public alone that tboy oan look for the necessary-aid. That the usefulness of this sooiety has been liberally exerted Is evident from tho facts, (for whioh we are indebted to the Rev. John Stroet)—that it has, during the present season, assisted nearly eleven hundred families, in the distribution for whioh wero inoluded seven hundred and five orders for coal, five hundred and twenty five for groceries, twenty-fivo for shoes, aud two hundred and twenty-fivo for garments.

An Insolent Conductor. Editor op Press: Allow me, through the columns of your paper, to say a few words respect ing the oonduot of a conductor on tho Second and Third stroots Passengor Railway, whioh is of such acharaoter, that-1 thought it my duty to give it publicity through the newspaper’s agency. Yes terday, a lady of my noquaintanco stepped into one of tho cars in this line, far the purposo of proceeding up town. When tho oonduotor called upon-her for tho faro, she offered him a dollar, being tho smallest amount she had with her. Ho said: ‘‘‘Madam, Ido not ohango n dollar for so small a sum, and besides this is only a ruse to ride free on the oar.” Suoh language to a lady was in tho highest degree insulting, and for a moment she was overwhelmed, the oar being full of passengors, most of whom wero gentlemen. She, however, told him to stop tho oar, when ho, seeing the indignation that was apparent by all, told hor to keep her seat, and ho would carry hor free. She then pulled tho bell horself, and at length got out of roaoh of his malignant tonguo. The end of this thing will bo, unlesß suoh insolent conductors be at onoe that Indies will not ride in tho passenger railway cars without being liable to insult. Philadelphia, January 13,1859. X.

According to the Troy Whig the culprit is a shoe maker, named John Mahar, employed by the post master at MeahaniesYillej'New York. His depre dations havo extended over & period of three or four years. Por a time his susploions settled down upon tho Meohaniosvnio office. About the first of lest September the losses suddenly ceased, and did not break out again till about the middle of last month, Mr. H. onoe more commenced his secret investigations. He discovered that New York letter packages made up at Sohuylerville and Stillwater were stopped at Meehanloivllle, the letters rifled of whatever, they oontalned of value, carefully re-scaled, and on the following day mailed for New York. Besides the young lady and tho postmaster, only one other person about that office ooqld have access to the mails occasional ly, and ho was a journeyman shoemaker in the employ of tbo postmaster, by the name of John Mahar. It was now ascertained that Mahar had been absent most of tbo time sinoe Sept. 1, and that he aame back about the time the depredations recommenced;, that the expenditures of himself and wife wero quite in advanoe of their legitimate earnings, and that he had seme time sinoo made a considerable payment on some real estate pre viously purchased in Meoha&icsvilie. He bad re sided at this locality, and been employed by the postmaster for several years—a period oove ing all the trouble; and these dtsooverios and facte pointed to him unerringly as the author of the many robberies. Mr. Holbrook laid his plans accordingly. On Thursday evening last, several New York packages, after passing Btillwater safely, stopped at Meohanicsvillo, held ovor, and returned to the mail of Friday. The arrest was not effected, however, for certain legal reasons, until Saturday evening. A careful searoh of Mah&r’s residence furnished ample proof that he was the right man.— N. Y. Times. Naval Intelligence—The Jamestown at San Juan del North —Captain Kennedy, of the United States sloop Jamestown, was at Aspinwall on the sailing of the Moses Taylor, and reported that tho Savannah was lying inside the bar at San Juan del Norte, drawing twenty-one feet, while there was only twonty-one feet eight inches of wateron the bar. She would be unable to get out, unless by the aid of one of the English mail steamers or the Valorous. He says there is no doubt that the bar, the insldo, and the river S&n Juan, as far up as its junction with the Colorado, are rapidly filling up; the Colorado is now passing nearly all the water, and it is, of course, enlarging, itself, while the process of filling goes on with in creasing rapidity. He says that in September lost a pole with alight upon it was placed on the end of the spit at Punta Arenas, by tho Basilisk, to guide hor boats at night when entering tho river from the outside; now this pole stands 180 feet from the present end of the spit , whioh has extended itself that distance towards the opposite shore. The channel has, perhaps, a width of some 500 or 600 foot. The next wet season may again deepen it, but he says ho would not bo surprised if the harbor were soon olosed to al) large sea going steamers. The remedy would bo, of course, the diversion of more water from the Colorado by an artificial harbor; but, as all know, these ope rations are sometimes accompanied by unlooked for results.
