Antiquities and Works of Art Exhibited.
By Mr. Bernhard Smith.—Three rudely fashioned images, of terracotta and slate, in strange costume, and bearing inscriptions in Greek characters. They appear to be of a curious class of barbarous sculptures, considered by d'Hancarville as vestiges of the Vandals or the Obotrites. He has given a dissertation upon them in the "Antiquités Etrusques," &c. tome v., with numerous engravings by David; and he cites another work, published at Berlin in 1772, in which a number of bronze idols of like forms are represented. These supposed Vandal images have been found in various parts of Germany, in Spain, Sardinia, and other countries occupied by the Vandals. They are supposed to be of the fifth century. Mr. Bernhard Smith was unable to ascertain in what locality the specimens exhibited were found: they measured from 412 to 6 inches in length, respectively.

Drawings were also shown of two relics in Mr. Stradling's museum, here represented: one of them, of bronze, described by him as a "gwaell," or British brooch, was found at Chilton Bustle. Its form and dimensions are
