been favoured by the arrival among them of the learned Arab Sheikh Muhammad ibn Saab ibn Suleyman Ayad al Tantawy, from Egypt. He was the chief lecturer in the pillared hall of the celebrated mosque Al-Aphar, at Kahira, where his fame gathered round him numerous disciples, eager in the pursuit of oriental learning. Of these, two have since distinguished themselves, Fresnel and Weil; the former is the spirited author of "Lettres sur l'Histoire des Arabes avant l'Islamisme," and is now French consul at Dschidda; the latter, is the careful translator of "The Thousand and One Nights,' and is professor of the oriental language at Heildeberg. Both have repeatedly acknowledged their obligations to their revered master. Russia owes the acquisition of this great scholar to the Vicechancellor Nesselrode. TURKEY. A weekly journal in the Turkish language has just appeared; its contents are political, commercial, and literary. A Conseil de Medecine has been established, before which all medical practitioners are to be examined before a diploma is granted. M. Bernard, Kallega and Dr. Spitzer have been commissioned to form a medical military board. GREECE. ATHENS. The university has had 232 students this year; of these 10 were studying the ology, 137 jurisprudence, 30 medicine, and 55 philosophy. There were 19 ordinary professors, and 2 extraordinary, 9 honorary professors, and 4 tutors, making in all 34 persons, who were thus divided, 2 to theology, 10 jurisprudence, 8 medicine, and 14 philosophy. AMERICA. There are no less than 1555 magazines and other periodicals published in the United States. Of these, 267 appear in New England, 274 in New York, 253 in Pennsylvania, and 164 in Ohio. INDIA AND ORIENTAL LITERATURE. The Oriental Translation Committee in London have announced that Mr. Pascual de Gayango's translation of the first volume of Al Makkari's History of the Mahomedan Dynasties in Spain is now ready for publication. A portion of Ibn Khalikan's Biographical Dictionary, translated by Baron de Slane, and Dr. Stephenson's translation of the Sama Veda, were highly approved of; the latter was ordered for publication under the superintendence of Professor Wilson. The second volume of M. Quatremère's translation of Makrizi's History of the Mamluk Sultans of Egypt was announced as being in the press. Gay's Fables have been translated into Bengal verse, and published by the translator, the Raja Kali Krishna Bahadur. The two first volumes of a History of India, by the Hon. Mountstuart Elphinstone, compris ing the Hindoo and Mahomedan periods, are in the press. R. H. Schomburgk, Esq., who spent several years in exploring Guiana, has been appointed by her majesty's government commissioner for laying down the boundaries of British Guiana. His recently published Views in the Interior of Guiana, are both valuable and interesting; and his lectures at the Royal Geographical Society were received with such approbation that the Society awarded him their gold medal has already left London to fulfil his appointed duties in South America. MISCELLANEOUS. He Mr. Frank Hall Standish, so well known to the literary as well as to the antiquarian world by his "Shores of the Mediterranean," “ Northern Capitals," and by his more recent work, "Seville and its Vicinity," is busily engaged in that city writing the Life of the Cardinal Ximenes. Mr. Edmund Bach, of the British Museum, author of " A Key to Schiller's Poems," has a similar "Key to Schiller's William Tell" in a forward state. As the copyright of some of Sir Walter Scott's early works is now expiring, preparations are making among the smaller booksellers to bring out cheap editions. Waverley is already in type, and will be published early in on 1841. In the library of the Hon. East India Company at Leadenhall Street, there are about 1800 volumes of manuscripts, chiefly written palm-leaves, in the Teluga, Canarese, or Tamil character. C. P. Brown, Esq., a very talented contributor to the Madras Journal, catalogued this collection during his sojourn in London, and found 468 volumes in the Tamil character, 997 in the Canarese, 336 in the Teluga, and about 250 in the Devanegari, Wandi-nagari Bengali, or Orissa writing. The Literary Society of the College at Madras are exceedingly anxious to have these MSS. transmitted to Madras, that the collection may be rendered available to the learned at large. ORIENTAL LITERATURE.-Professor Wilson, the celebrated oriental scholar, has an "Introduction to the Grammar of the Sanscrit Language" nearly ready for publication. The Meerza Ibraheen, professor of Persian in the East India College, is preparing a com plete grammar of the Persian language, to be published under the auspices of the East India Company. Two volumes of the Kamoos, a celebrated Arabic dictionary with the Persian translation, have already appeared, and the two last vo The March number (26) of the Madras Jour-lumes are in the press. nal, just received, contains several very interesting articles; among others, the continuation of the sixth report on the "Examinationof the Mackenzie MSS." by the Rev. W. Taylor, and an "Essay on the Creed, Customs and Literature of the Jangams," by C. P. Brown. Messrs. Madden & Co. have just published the Mitrahabba, or first book of the Hitopadesa, with grammatical analysis and vocabulary; the work is by Professor Johnson of the East India College.
