THE BRITISH MITSUI% A late letter from tin American In London has the following very interesting notes in rpf erencoto the British Museum, one of the . most remarkable institutions in existence ; It was my intention, when I wrote my last letter, togroup together skim of the great sights of London; but from multiplicity of objects, I find mystilf perplexed how best to carry out my design. Perhaps-the moat powerful point of attraction-to-the curious - ei'llm - studirrustrilio British Museum. It'-originated in-the will of Sjr IlaneSloane,u distinguished plipician, who bequeathed to parliament a large- .library of books anci , MSS., and a,singulirrly groat collot•. -lion of objects of natural history end art. Upon this foundation the British Government, by bringing • together the • Burkina Library of MSS., and the Cottunian Library, have eroded a great national monument, in which all lovers of - science every country, have reason to rejoice. . In 1801 a valuable.cullection of Egyptian antiquitioa,arrived, and by various accessions since, the Museum has become possessed of a gallery of antiquities, through which the an tiquary and the scholar roam with inexpressible delight. Hero arc compartments filled with Greek and Roman sculpture, some of them re. , wining their original beauty, and others of thorn broken and defaced, un'd surviving chiefly as monuments of the agto, s and the convulsions that have transpirotLeiniiC, the sculptor's chisel left them. Near by is a noble apartment, call ed the__Lplan Room, in- which-are arranged the remains 'of the ancient, cities in Lyoia, ono of the Southwest provinces of Asia Minor.— These monuments were discovered by Sir C. Fellows, and removed from that countYy to th is by order offNerninent lii 1842-1846; their dates—range from the sixth century before Christ to the seventh or'oightli after. Some of, thew sculptures would repay a Careful:exami nation, and till of them arc deeply interesting to the student °nil° , remains,,of glorious Greece., -- - Tho -- Phigalion - ,Saleon - contains - has reliefs; friezes, capitals;and statues, taken from the ruins of a temple, built in the city of Phigalia, in the ago of Pericles, by the architect o f the Pantheon at Athena. Tho Elgin Saloon is noted for containing the celebrated sculptures taken by the Earl of Elgin, from tho" Parthenon. The Egyptian Saloon contains the valuable collec tion of antiquities which were gather cd togeth er by the French in Alexandria, and which full into tliC hands of the English in consequence of dm capitulation of that city in 1801. H, so is the famous Roman Stone, justly celebra ted as furnishing the key which led to tho do_ cyphering of the ancient 1. ° writing of Egypt: -- 1 contained three inscriptions, of the saipe" im port,'ono in hieroglyphics, one in the popular characters, and ono in Greek ; and hence it proved - the key of the hieroglyphical characters Of 'Egypt... !:- , . The Baleen also' contains beautiful and per feet sarcophagi, covered with inscriptions, and bag, reliefs of.goddesscs, colossal busts, statues sphinxes, tablets,and.sepulebral ornaments, all of thorn Invaluable as illustrations of the histo ry, the manners and customs of Egypt. Bo - sides this, there is another room devoted to the Egyptian antiquities, in which aro innumera ble smaller objects,such as household furniture,' objects of dress and tollet;coffins, deities ,amu lets, etc. addition to the above, a roam cell. ed the bronze-room, iii — ablibted to the remains el ancient Egypt. On these walls I observed the celebrated pictures which adorned the eepul. chros of ancient Thebes, the brilliant coloring of which survives, in all its freshness, the lapse. of 3000 years. I must confess, however, that the interest a wakened in my mind by Layard's volumes, caused rue eagerly to seek out the room devo ted to the reception of the rn onaments he: has sent home from the plains of Assyria; and that these remains excited a livelier_ interest than anything else I saw in the Museum: They are not yet-well arranged, and are - ht,a basement room, where there is not sufficient light to ex hibit.. them.. perfectly.— Notivithstanding- this, they fully met my oxpeututions. Perhaps t.ho sombre, sepulchral light in which I saw them, added to their effect. I seemed at once to be let down amid the subterranean palaces of 'the kings of Assyria. d recognized the bus reliefs and sculptures (ruin their i:itSersiblarice to the very accurate engravings accompanying the volumes published. It is difficult to believe that these bits 'reliefs are the work' of human hands 3000 years.ago ; thare•itia freshness a-' bout tho appearance of the stones, and in the sculptures 'a sharpness `'and perfection•` might lead one to suppose that they were the work of yesterday. Bit there they are; disin terred from theebpvirmof . cges, the last asOrvi -yore, the solo historic 'monuments of, Ninaych, her kings, her people, id her glory. Surely the providence of dot has somegreat an good' design In thus preserving the-mmeine of no of tboinest_anorcnt nations of the- world, an. in causing them to' appear again among, th. men Of our goneratton. ..No ono can fail to see that they ,are casting freak and strong light upon the Bible ; they scorn to be wltnesebs rais ed from the , dead, to testify of manners 'end . customs, of kings and kingdoms, ofhattles'and captivities ages ago, and to prove that the an 'Mont scriptures cortanieledoventsond described' truly .the people .of their time.
