APRIL.

Whether this month to Flora or to Ceres

The Romans gave, admits of many queries.

_Aperio_ is "to open:" this suggestion

1st. Public curiosity excited by the announcement of the invention of an

but it never rose high enough to allow of the prediction being verified.

12th. The Servian question settled by the Russian cabinet stipulating

previously directed against.

25th. The prizes of the Art-Union drawn at Drury Lane Theatre; and Her

Majesty presented the nation on the same day with a prize—in the shape

of another princess.
