WE have already noticed the active exertions carrying on here preparatory to opening the campaign, which, we understand, is now fixed for February, previous to which the new and necessary arrangements could hardly be maturely made.

VARIETIES.

Eggs. A chemist at Geneva states that he has discovered an easy mode of preserving for six years, or probably for a longer period, eggs, perfectly fresh and fit to eat; and a confectioner in the same place has this year em been so preserved. All that is necessary is to ployed in his business a ton of eggs which had put fresh eggs into a bocal (a large round bottle with a short neck), and fill it up with limewater. The way to make the lime-water is as

Antiquities. The excavations for antiquities proceed with considerable activity in Italy, at Pompeii, Herculaneum, and the Campo Vaccino. The latter has unfolded some architectural remains; and at Herculaneum, it is said, the model of a trombone has been found. At Pompeii, the principal ancient novelties are some coarsely painted frescos, with very accurate outlines.

Of Vidocq's Memoirs, one of the most curious and entertaining books which has lately issued from the French press, we observe a Translation announced by Messrs. Hunt and Clarke. Vidocq is the Townsend of Paris, and his police adventures are as extraordinary as can well be believed. Two volumes of his autobiography have appeared, and two are to come. From the multitude of cant and flash terms, it will require much care to translate it well; and we trust it may consist with the spirit of rendering such a work into our language, to qualify some of its indecencies, so as to give it that better chance of extensive popularity which it otherwise well deserves. Enterprise breeds competition. It is only a fortnight since we mentioned the start of an Edinburgh weekly literary journal, at which time we also spoke of the excellent literary articles which appeared in a demi-political paper of that city. We now see it announced that the Classical Accentuation.

Insufficient Accident.-One day last week a workman's shed in front of the New Palace at Buckingham House was burnt down; and the newspapers tell us it blazed with such fury, that "great fears were for some time enter tained for the safety of the palace." This we can hardly credit; for though the public might regret the money lost in this fashion, we are convinced that the burning down of this illsituated mass of deformity (especially if it made way for the erection of a palace worthy of the sovereign and the country, and at the same time an ornament to the capital) would be agreeable to nine-tenths of the people of England, and most acceptable to every person of common taste in the metropolis.

We cannot gratify C. B. with more than two concluding stanzas of his simile between comets and bores:

A tail the vagrant comet shews,
Which seems to scatter as he goes
An endless stream of light;
The bore (to keep my simile)
Has quite as long a tale as he,

But 'tis not half so bright.
And now, to mark (it is but fair)
The difference between the pair,

And thus to quit our scores,
Comets are few and far between,
At decent intervals are seen,-

But there's no end of bores!
