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. Hisknowledgo seem
ed- almost' intriitlVo, and little that he did,
though Ills life was cut short in the midst of
his labors, more than twenty-flvo ‘years ago,
has been weakened in Its evidence by subse
quent students. (References to various works
bn Demotles'nsed, are noticed In the Essay on.
Hematic's, pp. 81 and 39, of Report, also p’
■l2, and p. 138 of Appendix.) Banosen’s De
motic Grammar, tho most complete work on
the subject yet published, is in many re
!speot: satisfactory. (See Report, pp. 39-40.)
.Bruosoh and He. Sadlov differing much in
the -values ascribed to many Bigns, Mr.
Halß investigated these for himself, and
gives the result-in the “Demotic Alpha,
bet,” near the close of tho Appendix,'on.
pp. 168-6. A lino of tho Demotic .(the
32d and last) has been given on pages 142-4,
as a specimen. Tho limits of the work pre
cluded more to be given in this way. Hope
is held out that at a lutnro time, if it seems
desirable, it will probably bo done. A run
ning translation of the whole text is given.
The Demotic text boing finished, the three
inscriptions were collated throughout; and
this is porhaps one of the most important
peculiarities of the present work. Wo do not
tknow.that.thls has 'ever been attempted, to any
,!^ere based on philological’ principles! Bomo
places in the 'Hieroglyphic text, which have
been’ explained by the comparison of the
hieroglyphic arid Demotic texts, have been
olted on page 188, in the appendix. Tho De
motic ' has- also- boon of very groat use in re
storing the lacuna! in the Greek text, it being
the. best preserved of tho throe. Eight of tho
restorations aro original with Ur. Hale.
The DemotieTac-simllo on pages 140-141,
was made with great care and with much.labor;
probably each line took nearly ah hour’s work.

many weeks in the Aster Library, in Hew fork,
examining and comparing tho labors of 'others,
on this and kindred subjects.. The Greek and.

frxCLAiHBD Deposits.— I This aubjeot baa again
booh'brought to the notice of the Legislature. A
few days ago Hr. Law moved In the Assembly for,
a select committee to report on a proposition that
deposits which have lain unclaimed in banks for a
period so long as to warrant the presumption that
UO'elaini' will ever be made, shall be token from
'the institutions having them in oharge by the State,
and odded to theoommon-sshoolfund. Tfae'reso*
lotion passed, and a seleot oommittee was appoint*
ed. Yesterday an unsuccessful attempt was made
to disohargethat committee, and refer the subject
to the* Oommittee of Ways and Means. But’ a
motion prevailed to require a report prevlousto
further notion, from all banks in New York and
Brooklyn, of the amount of dividendsunolaimed for
six years past.
. 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. The matter is one whioh deserves
earoful attention and involves Important legal in
quiries.—Nero York Times'of yesterday.
Is there not something in this proposition
worthy of Imitation in our Pennsylvania Le
gislature ?
The Poor.
The present soverity of the weather has its ad
vantages and disadvantages. It falls with a re
lentless grasp upon the poor and destitute; but it
also arouses the sympathy of Christian hearts in
behalf of the suffering. -It awakens those who
have “onough and to sparo” to a higher conscious
ness that there are those whose <( linos have fal
len ”In less pleasant plaoos. 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. On Monday morn
ing of the present week, we are told that a heart
rending spectacle was witnessed at the office of
the Home Missionary Sooiety. Shivering mothers
with their illy-olad ohildron orowded about the-,
entranoo imploring rolief. Ofoourse, everything
woe done for thorn that laid in the powor of the
mansgors and offioers of that noble Philadelphia
institution ; but tho means at their command
were wholly inadequate t© meet the wants of
applicants. 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.
To continue this humane work, howover, the trea
sury of the society wiil noed replenishing. This
is not only true of the Home Missionary Sooiety,
but also of other equally worthy benevolent insti
tutions The Moyomonsing Soup Sooiety, through
whioh the terrors of hunger have been averted in
thousands of instances, also appeals to our oitlzens
for help, and.the same is true of moßt, if not all,
the charitable institutions of this class lu our oity.
The practical wisdom of extending charities
through worthy and well-conducted organizations,
instead of by indiscriminate alms giving, has boon
too clearly demonstrated to require oomment, and
we trust that the request now made, by those who
are willing to bestow their timo and labor gratui
tously In its distribution, for money to relieve the
poor, will moot with a liberal response.
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.

Ingenious Detection op a Mail Robber.—
Post-offioo Agent Holbrook has been hunting .a
new mail robber, and, of course, has oaught him!
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. Some progress was made some time
Bince In accumulating materials for this dam, but
the matter was allowed to rest.
Another lot of Missouri Negroes taken
South—The Commerce Increasing.— We have
no intention of oonooalinff our satisfaction at the
rapidly-inore&Bing importance of the oommeroe in
blacks botween Missouri and the South. * There is
no true friend of the SiaU who will not be grati
fied that tho slaves of Missouri are rapidly finding
fiurchasors who take them but of the Stato, ana
cave in their stead thousands of good dollars, en
acting their former owners to pay for the labor of

rioh orops whioh our farms are oap&ble of pro
ducing under labor Intelligently directed. The
South is doing a t;ood work for Missouri. We
have to rooord the departure of another lot of ne
groes from our midst. The steamer E. M. Ryland,
whioh arrived on Tuesday night from the Mis

Scotch Words. —The Scotch language is,
perhaps, destined to perish. There are many
Scotch words and Saolon expressions whioh ought
to bo savod from the wreok. By thoir adoption,
the English language would be immonsoly en*
riohod. Tho Scotch languago has no Roman ma
jesty, but it lends itself lfloac opulently to pathos
and humor It has boon kopt free from those pe
dantic Johnsomaniams which have been so fatal
to the English language. In its homelinoss there
is a power after whioh the English language often
strives in vain. What in effect is homeliness, but
that whioh, oomlng from the home, goes back
thither with natural impulse and irresistible
foroe 7 A languago losos its moral empire, when
it deserts entirely, as the English language has
deserted, the common speeoh of the people; and
that moral empire gone, what avails a learned aitf
and rhetorioal embellishment?— Critic.

affected by the extent of our domestio oropj and
its almost total failure in 1855-6, and its partial
deficiency in 1858 7 contributed, in no inconsider
able degree, to tho unparalleled expansion in
