The delay that has taken place in the publication of the second volume of Dr. Scholz's New Testament has arisen, we are informed, from the reluctance of the Leipsig publisher to proceed with an undertaking so very unpromising in the present stagnant state of literature on the Continent. It having been intimated that, if a sale of 200 copies could be secured in England, the work would be proceeded with forthwith, we are happy to learn that the venerable and truly learned Bishop of Salisbury has undertaken to exert his extensive influence among the clergy of that church, of which he is so great an ornament, to effect that desideratum, and thereby prevent the possibility of a work of such long and arduous research being lost to sacred criticism. We have every confidence that the appeal made by the venerable prelate to his brethren of the Established Church, will not only be successful with them, but that it will be responded to by ministers and scholars of all denominations. An historical work on the civilization of the Greeks, in respect of morals and religion, during the heroic ages, is announced for publication in French, by Professor Van Limburg Brouwer of Groningen. ITALY. THE Typographical Society of Milan has this year published an Almanack, with the title of "The Adventures of Mary Stuart, Queen of Scotland," in which the most remarkable incidents in the life of that unfortunate princess are sketched in a lively style, and with considerable critical discernment. A new play of Nota, "La Donna Irrequieta," was lately brought out at Naples, and the king came in person from Portici to honour the first representation with his presence, on which occasion the theatre was completely crowded. The performance passed off with the greatest applause, and the author was obliged to come forward to receive the plaudits of the spectators. Between the fourth and fifth acts the king sent one of his attendants to convey to him the expression of his majesty's extreme satisfaction with the piece, which continues to be repeated with the same success. An important work, entitled Analyse Grammaticale des différens textes des anciens Egyptiens, is announced for publication in 3 vols. 4to. by M. Savolini. M. Plana, the celebrated astronomical professor at Turin, has just published his great work on the Theory of the Moon, in 3 vols. 4to. This work is cal culated, in the highest degree, to excite the attention of astronomers. Died recently, at Rome, Filippo Invernizzi, the editor of Aristophanes. Among his papers were found materials for a new edition of Apollonius Rhodius, for the basis of which he had adopted the text of the edition of Stephen, collated with a hitherto inedited MS. of the Vatican. On this edition he had been engaged for many years, as appears from his correspondence with many foreign scholars. The whole materials are now in the possession of Petrucci, the bookseller, in Rome. Professor Gerhard, Secretary to the Archæological Institute in Rome, is at present engaged in a professional tour through Upper Italy and Germany, and hopes, in the course of his journey, to conclude the publication of his Ancient Sculptures. A work on the History of Lombardy in the Seventeenth Century has recently appeared by Cæsar Cantù, an author of some celebrity; it is said to be a necessary adjunct to Manzoni's classical novel, the Promessi Sposi. A new tragedy by Niccolini will shortly appear under the title of "Louis the Moor," the subject of which is an episode from the history of that duke of Milan of the house of Sforza who cuts so distinguished a figure in Ranke'swell-known historical work on that subject. Turin.-A new tragedy of Pellico, entitled Gismonda, (one of the Three alluded to in the note at page 483, ante,) has been brought out at the theatre of this city, and was received with the most rapturous applause. After it had been performed three times, however, the Austrian minister applied to the Sardinian government to have it withdrawn; and the king in consequence, with his usual obsequiousness to that court, immediately gave orders to that effect. The story of the play is founded on the wars of the 12th century, between the Imperialists and the Milanese, at one of those periods when Milan was utterly destroyed by the former; and the moral of it is to exhibit to the Italians the folly of their civil dissensions, the necessity of their burying all animosities, and uniting against the strangers. Such a subject was quite likely to give umbrage to the stern and suspicious Austrian government. Pellico's Memoirs of his Captivity have also been strictly prohibited in the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom, as might be readily anticipated. The wonder is how the Piedmontese censorship allowed the book to appear at all, or the tragedy to be performed. By the way, we may mention that two reprints of the Italian original have been already made, onein Paris and one in London, with notes. Two French translations are announced, one with copious notes by Maroncelli. Mr. Thomas Roscoe is the author of the English translation which is about to appear in London. A supplement of corrections and additions to Dr. Ferrario's great work, Castume antico e moderno, is being published in numbers at Milan. The author has availed himself of the works of travellers published since 1820-among others, Travels of Marmara and Mimaud in Sardinia, of the Journey to Mekka in 182627 by Descoudray, of Count Potocki's journey to the Steppes of Astrakan and Caucasus, published by Klaproth in 1829, of Timkovski's into Mongolia and China, and of Mr. Arago's Promenade autour du Monde on board Captain Freycinet's squadron. Dr. Ferrario has also added a full and interesting description of Palestine, in which he has availed himself especially of the learned work of Lanci: la Sacra Scrittura illustrata con monumenti fenico-assirj ed egiziani, published at Rome in 1827. The whole supplement to Dr. Ferrario will consist of two vols. 4to. or nineteen numbers, of which eleven have already appeared. The work is dedicated to the Emperor of Austria. Dr. Morandini has published a statistical work called Del Censimento Milanese, in 3 vols. 8vo. being a history of the various operations for the admeasurement and evaluation of all the landed properties in the Milanese territory, which have been effected at various epochs for the assessment of the land tax. The cadastre, as the French call it, for the Duchy of Milan was completed in 1760; it has been since extended to the territory of Mantua and the other provinces of Austrian Lombardy. An Italian version of Niebuhr's History of Rome is being published at Pavis, and has already begun to undergo the strictures of the learned of that country, which is most interested in the subject of the work. We rather think it will give rise to a voluminous controversy south of the Alps. RUSSIA. THE Emperor of Russia, at the request of Prince Lieven, the Minister of Public Instruction, has increased the yearly allowance for the support of the Dorpat Observatory from 2000 to 8000 rubles. The salaries of the two astronomers attached to it are not included in this sum; the repairs also of the building, and its lighting, are executed at the expense of the university. Last summer a geographical journey through the south-eastern parts of Siberia was undertaken by M. Feodorow, at the command of the emperor, who has appointed a sum of 22,000 rubles to defray the expenses. Still more important results are anticipated from the three years' journey about to be undertaken by the state-councillor Fass, Secretary to the Academy of Sciences. His route is from Peterburgh to Pekin, through eastern Siberia. Gneditsch, a state-councillor, and well known as a poet, died lately at St. Petersburgh. SPAIN. AN original historical novel recently appeared at Madrid, in 2 vols. under the title of El Conde de Candespina, and has been very favourably noticed in the Madrid Gazette. The author, Don Patricio de la Escosura, is an officer in the artillery of the royal guard. ORIENTAL LITERATURE. M. Desgrange, formerly first Dragoman, and Secretary of the French Embassy at Constantinople, has been elected Professor of Turkish in the place of M. Kieffer, deceased. Dr. Siebold's long-promised work on Japan has been announced as likely to make its appearance very speedily. M. Brosset, jun. who has devoted himself to the study of the history, geography, and literature of Georgia, has presented to the Paris Asiatic Society, for insertion in its Journal, a description of Turkish Georgia, translated from the work of an Armenian Doctor. An Arabic Chrestomathia for beginners, with a glossary and notes, in 2 vols. 8vo., will shortly appear by Professor Humbert, of Geneva. M. Stanislas Julien has been elected Professor of Chinese in the College of France, in the room of Dr. Abel-Remusat, who died of the Cholera last year. M. Bianchi, interpreter to the king of the Oriental languages, is about to send to press a new Grammar of the Turkish language, intended for the use of interpreters, merchants, seamen, and travellers in the Levant. It will form a large volume in 8vo., and besides a full detail of the grammar and syntax, will contain numerous exercises extracted from the best authors, in prose and verse, in the Turkish language.
