YOU have heard of the Duke of Bridgwater's canal, and will of courfe conclude that I have viilted fo intercfting an object. It was cut for the fake of bringing the Duke's coal to this town. The canal con- nects Manchefter and Liverpool, nd, in the diftance of 30 miles be¬ tween thefe two towns, there is one lock ; the canal proceeds on a level, or nearly fo, and to this end, it perforates hills, and croffes val- lies and rivers on arches raifed for its fupport; it even croffes the riv¬ er Merfey, and at the fame mo¬ ment boats may be ken palling un¬ der the arches of the canal, along the river, and other boats floating over the arches and croffing the river, as if in the air ; a river over a river. Near Manchefter the ca¬ nal paffes under ground a quarter of a mile ; a root is neatly arched with brick, and when I placed my- felf at one end and hallooed, the found was reverberated with a deep rolling echo, dying at length to the other ench By means of a junction with other canals, a water communication is opened between Liverpool and Hull, and Liverpool and London, & of courfe, between Manchefter, Hull and London. BRITISH MUSEUM. With fimikr emotions I beheld collection of arms found on the place where the great battle of Can¬ nae was fought, and fuppofed to have belonged to the parties who contended on that memorable fpot. There is alio a collection of rings and other ornaments for the fin¬ gers and ears, which are believed to have been worn by the combat¬ ants at Cannae. In fpite of the difpofition which is felt to ridicule an enthufiaftic and extravagant admiration of antiquity, one can- CX alizes that thofe rings have been worn on Roman fingers ; this hel¬ met covered a Carthagenian head, and that fpear was thrown by a Ro¬ man hand, in the prefence of the victorious Hannibal. Similar emo¬ tions were excited by the nume¬ rous Roman vales \ the amphone, in which their wines were kept, md especially the relics of the un¬ fortunate Herculaneum. Thefe confift of utennis, vafes, goods,&c. nd among other things are the very hinges of the doors. By the fight of thefe authentic remnants of this illuftrious nation, a power¬ ful impulfe is excited towards the fludy of their antiquities. I was delighted with a fight of the original copy of Pope's Homer, in his own hand writing. Altho5 the lheets are now bound together From the Dover (N.

It was a very ordinary, indeed, I may fay a very poor houfe, and the poet rcfided in the very garret. His chamber was lighted with a iingle window in the roof, and its antiquity was fufficiently evinced by the diamond form of the glafs, which was very fmall, and fo low, on account of the Hoping of the roof, a? to leave only a few feet where one could ftand upright. We fhould not expeft fucha place to be honored with the vifitation of the mufes ; yet, it is faid this garret witneffed fome of the fined effufions of a mind which has left much to delight and inftruct the world.

When we inquired whether fhe had any thing of his in her poffeffion, fhe even feemed wounded at what fhe appeared to feel as a reflection on her honefty. _____^___________ DURING the late war, when draughts were made from the militia to recruit the A- merican army, a captain gave liberty to the men who were draughted from his company to make their objections, if they had any, a- gainft going into the fervice. Accordingly one of them, who had an impediment in his fpeech, came up to the captain and made his bow. ^ " What is your obje&ion PJ faid the captain. "Ica—a—nt go," anfwers the man, " becaufe I ft—ft—itutter."

" O that is no objection, for they place fome oth¬ er fentry with you, and he can challenge, if you can fire." " Well, b—b—but I may be ta—ta—taken and run through the gn— gu—guts, before I can cry qu-cju-quarter."
