LITERARY INTELLIGENCE.

Germany:

The "Archiv" of the city was blown up with the "Rathhaus," at Hamburg, and with it many most valuable documents connected with the history, not only of Hamburg, but of all the other principal cities and states of Europe, more particularly of England, have perished.-Wilhelm Schlegel announces a series of lectures on Ancient and Modern India.The University of Tübingen, a few weeks ago, received a present from the Directors of the English East India Company, of sixty-seven Oriental works, chiefly in Sanscrit, printed at Calcutta.

Holland.

In a marsh, in the duchy of Limburg, a wooden bridge, 1250 ells long, and about three ells broad, has been discovered. The principal beams are as hard as stone, but the cross-beams are completely decayed. They are covered with an unctuous mass, supposed to have been a kind of cement.

France.

Marshal Soult has appointed a Commission charged to draw up and prepare for publication a grammar and dictionary of the Berber or Kabyle language. It has hitherto been supposed that the various dialects of Africa were more or less corruptions of the old Arabic. This error has now been satisfactorily removed. They bear no similitude either to the Arabic, the Coptic, or the Hebrew, though a few Arabic roots have been admitted into them. In the Royal Library at Paris, a Bohemian manuscript was lately discovered, containing several theological essays by John Huss.

Italy.

A work of some importance to the scientific world has just been published, namely, a description of all the obelisks of Rome, accompanied by as complete an explanation as the recent discoveries relative to the Hieroglyphics of Egypt permitted.

United States.

Allen, Morrill & Wardwell will shortly publish at the Codman press : A Grammar of the German Language. By Geo. H. Noehden, L. L. D., etc. From the eighth London Edition, by the Rev. C. H. F. Bialloblotzky, Ph. D. Revised and conformed to the present state of German Philology. By Barnas Seares, President of the Newton Theol. Seminary.-James Munroe & Co. have in press The Gorgias of Plato, with Notes by Prof. Woolsey also a new vol. by Mrs. Sigourney, descriptive of a Tour in England, Scotland and France, with engravings.-The next number of the Biblical Repository will contain the concluding article on Baptism by President Beecher.
