Regno delle due Sicilie, compiled and published by authority of the minister for foreign affairs. Its object is to make known every useful work or discovery that is made. A copy of it is sent to every commune in the kingdom. The preliminary discourse is a sort of reply to the question often mooted by foreigners: "What are they doing at Naples?" The writer compares the condition of the kingdom in 1734, when it came under the present dynasty, with its present state. There can be no doubt that the country is completely changed for the better. "The judicial system, the administration, the communications, elementary education, commerce, agriculture, all are greatly improved. The feudal system has been abolished, the lands of the convents have been restored to public industry, taxes more equally distributed, towns increased and embellished, schools of agriculture founded, hospitals and workhouses erected, public credit is firmly established, the finances have recovered from all the burdens imposed by wars and revolutions." Who would endanger again this comfortable state of things by schemes of sudden change? Much remains to be done, no doubt; but much has been already done, and the impulse is given which, if not disturbed by rash attempts, will effect the rest. The kingdom of Naples, far removed from the strife of angry feelings which broods over North Italy, not exposed to foreign collision, and having no other neighbour but the Papal State, seems destined to move in its own independent political orbit. A journal devoted entirely to the observation of the volcanic region near Naples is now in course of publication under the care of Messrs. Cassola and Pilla. It is styled Spettatore del Vesuvio e dei Campi Flegrei. It forms a continuation to the learned labours of Sir William Hamilton, of Thomson, Breislak Della Torre, Ramondini, Ruggiero, Monticelli and Covelli. The excavations at Pompeii are continued with increased vigour. New buildings have been disinterred, and some beautiful mosaic pieces, representing historical events of the wars of Alexander the Great, have been brought to light. A novel called Avventure di Franco Allegri has been lately published at Milan. It is a sort of low imitation of Gil Blas, and by no means deficient in invention; but it is written in a vulgar style and more vulgar taste. The hitherto inedited Letters of Luigi da Porto, of Vicenza, the author of the tale of Romeo and Juliet, have been lately published at Venice and reprinted at Lugano. They refer to the events of his time, the epoch of the famous league of Cambray against Venice, and afford some fresh historical illustrations of those transactions. Count Pecchio has just published, at Lugano, the first volume of a "Critical History of English Poetry," which is to be followed by five more. NECROLOGY.-A. F. Stella, one of the principal booksellers and publishers of Italy, died lately at Milan. He was a man of considerable information, and had been a friend of Bodoni, Albergati, Pepoli, Goldoni, Monti, and other celebrated literary characters of the last and present centuries. Stella was a native of Venice, and was employed by that republic on a mission to Paris in 1797, just before its catastrophe. This mission was of course unavailing, but not through Stella's fault. In 1810 Stella settled at Milan, and became one of the first publishers of that city. He established the journal called Lo Spettatore, which still continues under the name of Il Nuovo Ricoglitore. He has published many useful works. His last undertaking was an Italian Bible, translated from that of Vence, and illustrated by several learned Italian clergymen. Stella has not had the satisfaction of seeing this work completed, but the edition is spoken of as very handsome. He has dedicated it by permission to the Emperor Francis. Stella, as a man of honourable feeling, loudly disapproved of the piratical system so shamelessly practised by many of the Italian booksellers. RUSSIA. THANKS to the German Professors of the University of Dorpat, we may now study the institutions, manners and policy of this remarkable empire, without being obliged at the same time to study its language. We have now before us two numbers of a periodical, in the German language, which is made the vehicle of much curious and interesting information to the rest of Europe respecting the Colossus of the North. The first number commences with a long and rather wordy article by Professor Blum, on the constantly increasing intercourse of nations in matters of science, literature and commerce, and on the beneficial influence of journals in enlightening the public mind, and averting cruel and sanguinary wars. We shall return to this very interesting journal. A society has been formed at Riga for Researches into the History and Antiquities of the Baltic Provinces of the Russian Empire. A periodical will appear, embodying the results. Dr. Lenz of Dorpat, who studied the oriental languages, and particularly the Sanscrit, under the direction of the celebrated Bopp of Berlin, has been allowed by the Emperor, on the representation of the minister Uwarrow, to reside two years in England, at his Imperial Majesty's expense, for the purpose of the further prosecution of his studies. Dr. L. has lately edited at Berlin, Urvasia, Fabula Calidasi. Textum Sanscritum edidit, interp. Lat. et notas illust. adjecit, &c. He also recently published, in a Petersburgh journal, a copious account of the Sanscrit MSS. of the late Colonel Stewart, which were purchased by the Russian government in 1832. ADDENDA ET CORRIGENDA. ART. I. Since this article was printed off, we rejoice to see that our wishes have been in a great measure fulfilled by the publication of Captain Cook's Sketches of Spain, in which a full account of the Spanish artists is rendered accessible to the English reader. ART. V.-We find we were misinformed respecting the Giovine Italia, as we learn that it is still continued, although irregularly, and that the sixth number appeared within the last month. ART. VIII.-This article was just printed off, when the number of the Moniteur, containing the statement by the French Post-Office authorities of the late negociation with the English, reached London. We have only time to notice its appearance. LIST OF THE PRINCIPAL NEW WORKS PUBLISHED ON THE CONTINENT, FROM JANUARY TO APRIL, 1833, INCLUSIVE.
