The famous Theroigne de Méricourt, who acquired so unfortunate a celebrity during the early years of the French Revolution, died lately at the Hospital Salpêtrière, where she had long been confined in a state of insanity without any lucid interval. Until she attained the age of 57, her robust constitution resisted the effects of confinement, and above all those of a singular mania to which it was deemed advisable to yield, for fear of encreasing her malady. She never retired to rest without previously throwing two or three buckets of water over her bed, even during the most rigorous season of the year.

A CONSTANT READER has our thanks for his than to depart one iota from our original plan in respect to the Review of New Works. On the contrary, that department will rather be enlarged than abridged. Our Correspondent may also be aware that the present is the dullest period of the year for new publications; and it is to supply the place of interest in this respect, that we devote so much of our space to the Congo Voyage of Discovery, and the curious selections under the head of The Letter respecting Vauxhall Gardens is unavoidably postponed. B. S. is informed (with our thanks for his correspondence) that we do not want to have any thing to do with "Common Sense!" The folly he marks carries with it its own exposure, except to those who “will not learn.” Lately, in pulling down the old wall of the vicarage stable, at Chard, a very ancient and beautiful coin was found, about a foot from the foundation; which proves to be a golden Robert Adams' Travels into the Interior penny of Richard II.

However, I could not suppress my emotions on seeing the dollars that were taken from the plunderers of the unfortunate Boyd, suspended from the breasts of some of them, and all the horror of that cruel transaction was revived in my mind, But the ornaments on which they set the most value were rude representations of the human form, made of green jade, and carved with some ingenuity. These hung down from their breasts, in the same manner as The fated crew of the Boyd were still present in my mind; and the idea that I was at that very moment surrounded by the cannibals who had butchered them, and had seen the very weapons that had effected their slaughter, caused a chilling horror to pervade my frame; while looking only at the deed itself, I never once considered that it might have been provoked. The chiefs were now in perfect harmony with each other, and the furious clamour having ceased, I had an opportunity of meditating on the scene before me, while Mr. Marsden stood in conversation with George. It was certainly a grand and interesting spectacle. The savage warriors, amounting to about a hundred and fifty of as fine men as ever took the field in any country, were encamped on a hill which rose in a conical shape to a considerable height; and the many imposing singularities they presented were such as to excite a particular interest in the mind of the beholder. Few of these men were under six feet in height, and their brawny limbs, their determined coun- the dollars. tenances, and their firm and martial pace, Their instruments of war were as diver-hold any, with the exception of one coun entitled them very justly to the appropriate designation of warriors.
