Tlia faoadw (^thii line, Atl, waa a native of the bland of Ele- phantine, oppoaito Aasooan, and the plaoa first roao to importance nnder hla anooeaaora. It was daring tin reign of Merenra that Una, a famooa Gitneral and Prima Minlitar, qoarrled the graalto of Asaonan for tha sepnlohre and aaroephagus of Ids aovereign, and built a fleet of thirteen veasels at Ele- phantine for the transport of tha same. Pending farther details, we shonld thero- fore be InoUned to ascribe the large tomb to a gentleman of that period, eepeolally if 'tiie neighboring twelfth dynasty tomba are those of Ills descendants. In one of theaa latter there were foond a series ef Oalrlde statues, representing the diseased in mum- mied form, done in baked olay er terra ootta, and placed in reoesses along the cor- ridor. This, at all events, is an entire nov- elty in tomb decoration. The cemetery will probably prove to be of great extent, as there is evidence of its hav- ing been in nse down to a late period. The large tomb, nsnrped by later comers, was found piled to the celling with mnmmles, mummy cases, and funerary fnmiture of Roman times, inolnding upward of aixty memorial stolae. Gren. Orenfell is actively pursuing his work of discovery by the help of our Bnglish soldi* rs, who continue to open and cuar out tomb after temb. OY£B THE OCEAN.

Mr. Arch appeared at the recent Parlia- mentary, banquet given in his honor In a pepper-and-salt suit and scarlet tie. He sat bestde Mr. Chamberlain, who was in full evening dress. Poor Lord Bute, having spent £1,000,000 on bis new house, can only afiord to give 1-5,000 of that sum to the widows andorpnaua of the colliers who were killed while lately working for him. A diamond, larger and more valuable than the Koh-i-Noor, is about to arrive from the Cape. The lapidary has been esga^d eight- een months in cutting the gem. The Koh- i-Noor is said to be worth $140,000. In 1799 the Parliament of Great Britain had to tiansact the business, so far as home sffairs were concerned, of alout 12,000,000 people to-day of about 35,000,000, and the afifalrs of Ireland (then transacted in Dublin) absorb about three-fourtlis of time, so that pressing English business has to stand over. Dr. Phipson, in a German scientifio jour- nal, advocates the general nse of sugar as an article of dieti not simple as a pleasing ad- dition to food, fie affirms that during forty years he haa eaten at least a quarter of a pound ef sugar daily, not osunting sugar- forming substances taken at the same time, and has been benefitted by it.
