LITERARY NOTICES, &c.

THE Life and Remains of Dr. CLARKE, consisting, for the most part, of original letters and extracts, from his unpublished journal and MSS. are about to be published by subscription, in one volume 4to.

Mr. J. B. SAY, so justly celebrated throughout Europe for his writings on Political Economy, has announced his intention to establish, about the beginning of November, at his house, No.92, Rue du Faubourg St. Martin, at Paris, a Sties of Conversations on Political Economy, for the benefit of those gentlemen who may wish to acquire a more extended knowledge of that interesting science.-Previous to admission, it will be necessary to procure an unexceptionable recommendation from some person of known respectability, which must be forwarded to the house of the Professor, together with the subscription for the course, which is 300 francs.Foreigners may have their names entered for the Course by the agency of some friend before their arrival in Paris.-At the end of the Course diplomas will be delivered, if required, to those gentlemen who may be desirous of possessing a testimonial of their proficiency in the science.

The third volume of the Bombay Transactions, illustrated by numerous plates, is in the press.

The collection of casts from the cele brated Egina marbles, (17 in number,) lately presented by Mr. JOHN FORSTER, jun. and which had sustained considerable damage in their passage from Italy, have now been completely restored, and placed in the room of the Royal Institution at Liverpool.

A curious concrete mass of iron and zinc, in weight more than a pound, has been presented to the Liverpool Institution, by a gentleman of London. It is a part of the residuum which remained in an oven in which some millions of bank-notes had been burnt, and is supposed to have been amalgamated from the materials which had entered into the composition of the ink.

Mr. BULLOCK has imported some of the wapiti, or gigantic stag, of the Missouri. These creatures are of the size of horses, and can be broken for har

ness, in which their speed must be prodigious. The pair, formerly exhibited in the King's Mews, have, we understand, propagated their species, in the possession of Lord Glenlyon.

Various accounts have been published in this country of a mermaid, exhibited at the Cape of Good Hope, and which, it is confidently said, sets at rest the question as to the existence of such an extraordinary animal. We confess, however, that we are still incredulous; and very much suspect, that all the mermaids hitherto seen, or said to have been seen, were nothing more than some of the species of the phoca or seal; perhaps, the phoca leonina, or phoca ursina.

A plate of the solar system, with explanatory letter-press by Mr. ADAMS, of Edmonton, is about to be published. It will represent, on a sheet, four feet by one foot, the respective sizes and distances of the sun and planets; the former being ten inches in diameter. Thus the solar system will be seen, and a just idea of it formed, at one view.

Mr. ARTIS is preparing for publication a series of Plates, illustrative of recent discoveries, and excavated remains, of a Roman town at Castor. It will contain plans of the principal buildings, and correct representations of the Mosaic and fresco designs; of implements, utensils, coins, &c.

A new Edition, with additions, and illustrated by coloured plates, is announced, of Mr. MAWES'S Treatise on Diamonds and coloured Stones, including their history, natural and commer. cial.-A Treatise on Conchology, by the same gentleman, is also in the press.

Dr. MEYRICK has announced a work of extent and interest, on Ancient Armour.

An Act for the erection of a national monument in Scotland passed in the last session of Parliament. It is to be a fac-simile of the Parthenon of Athens, with a place of worship for 3000 persons, including his Majesty's forces, (sailors and soldiers,) stationed in and about Edinburgh. The city of Edinburgh have granted a site on the Calton-hill, for the intended edifice.

Recent Patents.

TO JOSEPH WASS, of Lea Wharf, Ashover, in the County of Derby, for an Improvement which prevents the ill Effects to Vegetative and Animal Life that have hitherto been occasioned by the noxious Fumes and Particles which arise from smelting or calcining Lead Ore and other pernicious Minerals.

THIS improvement consists in a new mode of ventilating the flues and chimneys of furnaces employed in the smelting and calcining of lead ores, and also in a mode of arresting the heavy particles of matter usually emitted in this process, which, when allowed to pass into the atmosphere, are found extremely noxious and injurious to animal and vegetable life. By this contrivance these heavy particles are precipitated and deposited below, while the lighter, or mere vapour is conducted into the atmosphere at a sufficient height, and under such circumstances, as
