The explorations of our countryman Mr.
Stephens among tlia relics of vanished races
that once eWurmed in Central America and
Mexico. have excited great curiosiry on this
rubjeci, botli in Edtrope and America. We
lit v.? hr-ard of several projected expeditions,
eitlier in progress or at loast lulked of by Cny
lislt tra Vi-llerji ; and we see it stated in Bume of
the French papers that a infant of that n.iliuii
i. preparing to set out on on extensive journey
through the heart of South America, from the
Alliiitic to the Pacific, at the expense and un
der tho patronage of tho Due do Nemours, w ho
in this fulfills a plan devised and commenced
by hid unfortunate brother, the late Duke of
Orleans. The expectation of finding ruins
. uud other .traces of the ancient population is
spoken ofas a leading inducement to the ex
ecution -of this project.
In connexion with this subject we may pay,
we believe, without violating any confidence,
that the forthcoming volumes of our own Ste
phens, which will be published in two or three
weeks, fur surpass even their immediate pro-
-ilrcek'sors in architectural and historic interest.
The plana of Yucatan, which he and his com
ri. ion Mr. Catherwood explored with untiring
diligence, proved to be a mine of inconceivable
richness.. Ruins of vast extent and most strik
ing character were disinterred, as wo may say
in n!mo-t boundless profusion ; as niny be in
ferred from the fict to give specimens only
the volumes will contain one hundred and
filler n engravings. Several of these we have
enjoyed the pleasure of examining. They are
. wore highly finished than those in the Central
America volumes, which indeed were only
outline etchings, v hile in these the outlines
are duly filled up with the proper light and
shade, tfce. and we must siy that the archi
tectural magnificence they represent surpass
es all that we had previously known or ima-1
gined.
Wo perceive, too, from a few glances at the
proof sheets, that personal adventure was by
no .iie:iiis wanting, and tha. the narrator there-
of has loat nothing of liis quiet humor and
graphic power of language in describing it cf- i
icctively. ;

These astounding disclosures, io connection i

great excitement at Little Ruck, and a tense of
danger, which cauoed the better part of the ci
tizens to concert measures for the coimrwn de

resting all suspicious persn'is, preventing the
conflagration of prepi ity by incendiaries.

The London Courier hascopied the following
story from the Etoile, a Paris paper, of a man be
in restored to lifo afler having been frozen in
an avlanchc forono bunded and sixty-six years !
The editor call upon Major Longbow, Mun
chausen, and Ferdinand Mendcz Pento, to bide
their diminished heads :
Dr. James Ilotbam, of Morpeth, Northum
berland, returning from Switzerland, is stated
to Imve reported i hut a most extraordinary e
veht had lately passed at the foot of Mount St.
Goth ird, a league I'rom Ai2oli, in the valley of
Levntitina. At tho bottom of a kind of cavern,
the body ofa trnn, about thirty years of age, was
perceived under a heap of ico proceeding from
an a vahincl.e.
As the body ecMi.ed to be fresh as if it had
been it .fled only half an hour before, Dr. Mo
tliam cau-ed it to be taken out, nnd having hud
Iho clothes pulled off, ordered it to be plunged
in cold water. It was then so frozen that it
was covered with a crust of ice. It was then
placed in lukewarm water. Afterwards it was
put in a warm bed, an) Ireatfd as u?ual incises
of MiiTncation, by w hich means animation was
restored.
What was tho astonishment of every 1dy
when tho individual, ha ing reeoved the use of
hisl'teultics, declared that be was Rodger P. ds-
worth, son of the miticttiirv of the same name, i
' 1 .
born in Jo'J!), who, relurnin- fmm Italy in lfiGO, ,
a year arter the death of lus father was buned ,
under an avalanche.
Dr. Ilolham, according to the same account, j
is stated M have added, that Dr. Dodsworth j
tet ls a great stittii'ss in a!l his joints, but by j
decrees tin y will become asfb'XiMo as beferei ,
the accident. If Mr. Dodsworth fully recov-
ers.and should pass through Lyons to return to j
his country, after one hundred nnd sixty-six j
vets' iih..rence, it may be predicted that he!
i will attract, in l. io liifclioi cleetce, tlie puu-
