This writer adds: In Mr. Ellis was united, with great activity of mind, an uncommon versatility of genius. The pursuits with which he was unceasingly occupied, were various and often dissimilar; but on whatsoever his talents were employed, whether the subject was enjoined by duty or prompted by inclination, he manifested the same ardour and the same happy sufficiency. Even his failures exhibited a mind fraught with intelligence and information. With the languages and literature of the Hindoos (particularly the nation's of Southern India) he was eminently conversant, and of their institutions, civil and religious-of the habits and modes of thought-of all, in short, that enough for any thing on earth, and at least scene. aw what a little boy near us called "a big fellow," among the crowd in the Menagerie Bologna was an active Harlequin; Miss Tree a so-so Columbine; Mr. Elliott a very good Pantaloon, which, viewing his tumbles, whirls, and other sufferinges, we Tould not be for a hundred pounds a night; and Southby a strong, clever, and effective Clown, especially in feats of bodily marvels.

Mr. Theocles Pharmacides, one of the editors of the Greek Mercury, has published a very useful work, containing extracts from most of the ancient Greek authors, and accompanied with very excellent new Greek notes, under the following title: " Elements of the Greek Language, for the use of Greek Schools," 4 parts, in 12mo. Every volume contains a very convenient vocabulary. A valuable work has just been completed at the Madras Commercial Press. It is the New Testament, translated from the original Greek into Teloogoo, by Mr. Pritchett, a learned Missionary. It is in two volumes, comprising 888 pages octavo. The Teloogoo types have been principally cast by Mr. Urquhart, of the Commercial Press, by whom the work has been printed, in a manner very creditable to that establishment. Mr. Urquhart, with a laudable zeal, is now actively employed in casting Canarese types for another edition of the work in that language. Maximes et Pensées du Prisonnier de Ste.
