ROYAL SOCIETY OF LITERATURE.

Jan. 12. The following papers were read-1. A letter from M. Dureau de la Malle, member of the Institute of France. From this communication it appeared, that M. Texier had discovered and sent to France a large portion of the sculptured frieze of the temple of Diana Leucophryne, at Magnesia ad Meandrum in Asia Minor; and that M. Eugène Boré has explored the sources of the Iris, Halys, and Lycus. 2. Two letters from the Rev. Dr. Tattam, addressed to Granville Penn, esq. In the first, dated Paris, August 1842, the writer states, that he contemplated a translation of the works of Macarius into Arabic, for the use of the Coptic church. He adds, "I am editing the Scriptures in Coptic and Arabic, at the request of the Coptic patriarch. This is therefore the first use of the MSS. which I collected in Egypt. The Arabic text adopted is that in use in Egypt, which has never been printed." The second, dated Cairo, October 1842, contains the intelligence that Dr. Tattam had fully succeeded in this and every object of his second visit to Egypt. He had secured to England between two and three hundred Syriac MSS., on vellum, of the greatest age and interest; and had satisfactorily arranged with the patriarch respect. ing the Coptic and Arabic New Testament, the Arabic text of which was to be corrected at Cairo, from the best MSS. in the country. With regard to Macarius, the learned doctor proceeds to relate that, having ascertained that there is no work of that father in existence among the Copts, either in Coptic or Arabic, he had employed Mr. Mazarra, the most learned Christian in Egypt, to make a translation of the Homilies from the Greek, and of the treatise on Christian Perfection from the English translation published some

years since by Mr. Penn. Dr. Tattam hoped to return to England about Christmas. 3. A memoir on the Egyptian Athor, by the Rev. T. R. Brown. The writer derives the name "athor" from the Coptic ath, a negative prefix, and ôr, a contraction of aér, light air. Athor will therefore primarily signify the same as the darkness mentioned Gen. i. 2; which may be interpreted, the bosom of the empyrean, or light withholden, or curved away. Having given the order of the symbols of this idea,-as night, the resemblance of primeval darkness; the moon, or ruler of the night, &c.,—he infers that the primary idea was kept pure by the Egyptian priests; an opinion which he confirms by adducing an Hermesian hieroglyph, and comparing it with the Chinese.

ECCLESIATICAL RECORDS.

The Records of the First Fruits and Tenths Office-formerly an office of the Exchequer of Account, but recently dissolved which were handed over to the charge of Queen Anne's Bounty Office. have been brought within the practical operation of the Public Records Act, and transferred from Dean's Yard, Westminster to Carlton Ride. The most important of these Records are the the Surveys of Ecclesiastical Benefices taken in Henry the Eighth's time, which were printed by the late Record Commission, and are known as the "Valor Ecclesiasticus;" the certificates of all ecclesiastical livings not exceeding the yearly value of 50%.; and the Bishops' Certificates of Institutions and Patronages, from the middle of the sixteenth century to the present time. The beneficial result of this transfer to our clerical readers and the public in general is, that they may now obtain that information for a shilling, for which they formerly paid seldom less than a mark, or thirteen shillings and fourpence.

FOREIGN LITERARY INTELLIGENCE.

A society has been established at Stuttgart for the re-publication of old works, and the editing of unpublished MSS. Its first work is the earliest chronicle known to exist, written in the German language; the date is 1360. The next publication will be the autobiography of the Suabian knight, George von Ehingen, who was a great traveller between the years 1460 and 1490. He fought also with the Portuguese against the Moors in Africa, and relates the events of his life in a very naïve style. The society intends also to republish the

Portuguese Cancioneiro, which was printed at Lisbon, in folio, in 1516, and is one of the greatest book-rarities, not more than three copies being known to exist.

Cardinal P. E. Visconti, of Rome, the successor of Fea as Commissario delle Antichite Romane, has completed an extensive work, Delle Citte e famiglie nobili e celebri dello Stato Pontificio; Dizionario Istorico. It will be published in 12 vols. 4to. and will treat, in alphabetical order, of all places in the dominions of the Church, as regards their geography, history, and statistics, as well as the history of all the most distinguished families. The plates will give the arms of the cities and families, and views of the most remarkable monuments.

A professor of the Tibetan language and literature was recently appointed in Paris. The professor, Mons. P. E. Foucaux, has published the discourse which he delivered on entering upon his duties.

The friends of oriental literature will learn with much interest that a catalogue has appeared, in 3 vols. of the library of the late celebrated orientalist, Silvestre de Sacy. The titles of the books are fully and carefully copied, in the characters peculiar to each; but a French translation is also given. Every book is accurately described, and the contents are illustrated by notes and observations. The whole is scientifically arranged on a new plan, and the reason for its adoption are explained in the preface.

The Codex Rescriptus of Ephraem Syrus, which contains many fragments of a Greek translation of the Bible, and dates from the sixth century, has long excited the curiosity of critics. Dr. Tischendorf, who has recently made a literary tour of Europe at the expense of the Saxon government, has succeeded, by means of a chemical process, in deciphering the manuscript, of which he has a complete edition in the press at Leipzig.

Messrs. Didot intend to publish a new edition of R. Stephens's Latin Thesaurus, with all the principal improvements of other dictionaries that have been published since his time. The Minister of Public Instruction has promised to lend his effectual assistance to this work, which, from the little encouragement afforded just now by the public to the literature of Greece and Rome, might otherwise be in danger of falling to the ground.

Six volumes of inedited materials, Greek, Latin, and Italian, are expected shortly from Cardinal Mai. These are quite unconnected with the volumes al. ready published.

ST. MARY'S CHURCH, NOTTINGHAM. The persevering exertions of Mr. Cottingham have been successful in upholding the venerable and majestic tower of this church, from the state of which it was feared the church would become a ruin. In making these arrangements, the screen erected in 1839 has necessarily been removed; and in examining the roof, the timbers are found to be so much decayed, from the effect of the false plaster ceilings, as to make it necessary to remove them also, in order to repair the beams and rafters. These operations have disclosed large portions of architectural beauty, hitherto concealed or disfigured, both in the chancel and the nave; but which it is now hoped may be restored to the excellence of the original design. In digging out the ground to ascertain the depths of the foundations of the four great piers, beneath the two western ones, have been discovered a series of richly carved capitals and bases, unquestionably portions of the original church. The position of the capitals has been reversed, the columns have been broken into fragments, and used to form the foundation on which these piers rest. They are placed upon the mould, several feet above the sandstone-rock on which the noble and massive fabric of the church stands. The ornaments are the interlaced Norman, terminated with the Romanesque honeysuckle, or lotus, of large size, and of excellent workmanship. As it is impossible to remove these interesting relics, casts have been taken, for the purpose of preserving some memorial of them.

ST. PETER'S NEW CHURCH, NEWCASTLE.

Two stained glass windows have been recently placed in the New Church of St. Peter, Newcastle, the work of Mr. Wailes, of that town. One is in the chancel, and contains the figures of the Apostles St. John and St. James the Greater. As this part of the church contains six windows, of two lights each, the opportunity is presented of depicting the twelve apostles. The unavoidable want of an east window will be, in a great measure, supplied by a large historical picture on which an artist of ability is at present engaged. The other specimen of Mr. Wailes's art is an obituary window, to the memory of the late Vicar of Newcastle, the first of the kind, it is believed, in the diocese. The

Archdeacon of Northumberland, at his late visitation, very judiciously recommended this species of memorial, which forms at once a pious testimony to the departed, and a rich and appropriate ornament to the building where it is placed, and thus makes the indulgence of affectionate regret on the part of the survivors subservient to the permanent decoration of the house of God. The window is about seventeen feet in height, by nearly six feet in breadth, of the decorated style of the early part of the fourteenth century, and consists of three lights, surmounted by three quatrefoils. In the highest quatrefoil is represented the Annunciation of the blessed Virgin, and in the two lower ones, the Adoration and offering of the Magi to the infant Saviour. In the centre light the principal figure is our Lord holding in his hands the emblems of universal dominion, and in the other two lights stand St. Peter and St. Andrew, each of the brothers being marked by his proper ecclesiastical distinction. Below the principal figure is a representation of the late Vicar, in stole and surplice, kneeling before a litany desk, and on each side are two angels bearing scrolls, on which is inscribed, out of the vulgate, Quod cogitasti domum ædificare nomini meo, bene fecisti hoc ipsum mente tractans. At the foot of the window, and running continuously through the three lights, is the following inscription :-In piam memoriam patris desidera tissimi Joannis Dodd, Novi Castri super Tinam per XIV. annos Vicarii, cujus consilio, patrocinio, ope hæc Sancti Petri Ecclesia ædificari cœpta est, A. S. MDCCCXL. fenestram hancce picturatam sua impensa ponendam curavit, A. S. MDCCCXLII. Gulielmus Dodd, Ecclesiæ Sancti Andreæ in eodem municipio Curator Perpetuus. The window is placed at the extremity of the south aisle; and whilst it is most creditable to the skill and ability of Mr. Wailes, it forms, at the same time, a remarkably interesting feature of the internal decoration of the building. The Church is just completed, and there is but one opinion concerning it, that, for beauty and correctness of architecture, it is not surpassed by any church of the same dimensions in the North of England. Nearly one-half of the whole accommodation, which is adapted for 1,200 persons, is to be devoted to the gratuitous use of the poor.
