The sentiment embodied throughout is
that of violent mental emotion; and it affords a further illustration of
the correctness of MR. C. FORBES'S theory (Vol. i., p. 228.) that "the
language of passion is almost invariably broken and abrupt."

"RESTORATIVE HOTEL, FINE HOK.
KEPT BY FRANK PROSPERI,
FACING THE MILITARY QUARTER
AT POMPEII.
That hotel open since a very few days, is renowned for the cleanness of
the apartments and linen; for the exactness of the service, and for the
eccelence of the true french cookery. Being situated at proximity of
that regeneration, it will be propitius to receive families, whatever,
which will desire to reside alternatively into that town, to visit the
monuments new found, and to breathe thither the salubrity of the air.
That establishment will avoid to all the travellers, visitors, of that
sepult city, and to the artists, (willing draw the antiquities) a great
disorder, occasioned by the tardy and expensive contour of the
iron-whay.
