NM .31..4_R.K.ET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. There has been no change in the discount market during the last few days, and it is expected to re main in its present position for some time to come. About £112,000 in refined gold was purchased by the Bank authorities yesterday. The Teutonia, from New York, has brought £58,990 in specie. There was rather an active demand for cotton yesterday in the Liverpool Market, and prices were firm. The sales were about 7,000 bales. The latest advices from Australia report the de parture of the following gold ships, viz. :—Young Australia, with £78,336 ; Alfred, £113,584 ; York shire, .E 51,560 ; and Omar Pasha, £81,268. In addition to the above the Netherby, with £22,000; the Marian Moore ; with £33,000 ; and the Result, with £158,000, are also on the passage to this country. The Van Dieman's Land Company's annual meeting took place to-day. Mr. John Cattley in the chair. The report stated that only £1,700 had been received during the past year from the colony, and the directors consequently had not a sufficient amount of money in hand to pay a dividend. There has been no alteration in the Market for Public Securities to-day, and the principal attention of the members has been directed to the liquidation in foreign stocks and railway shares. Consols are 931 t- for transfer, and 93t- for account. The New Threes and the Reduced are firm at 922 ; Ex chequer Bills remain at 19s. to 225. prem. ; Bank Stock is rather firmer at 235 and 237 ; India ditto has declined to 222 ; but the 5 per Cent. is 104 f, being a slight advance. Rather more activity has prevailed in the Foreign Market, and prices in some instances show a slight improvement. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 841 to 85; ditto, 1858, 691 701; Mexican have improved to 341 1; Peruvian to 991 ; ditto Uri barren, to 95 96 ; ditto 3 per Cents. to 854 84; and Portuguese to 461 ; Spanish are fiat at 53 ; the Moorish Loan 5 prem. ; and Italian 5 per Cents. at 661.

Brettle had for his seconds Joe Wareham, of Bir timm, and Bos Tyler, tile latter having taken the place of Bob Travers (the black), who, the preceding day, had the misfortune to fall into the river, while Joe Cobley, and a well-known retired member of the ring did the needful for Rooke. By 20 minutes to 1.0 o'clock the toilets of the uteri had been completed, and just before going to the scratch, they la'd an even tenner on the result. Though, round the ring, Brettle was the favourite, at 5 to 4, it was imagined Rooke, profiting from the fault committed at the.;r former meeting, would, from the commencement, have forced the fighting, and avoided giving his oppo nent the least time for rest and manceuvring ; but instead of p t trsuing these tactics, which gave promise of gaining a lead ing advantage, he, to the surprise and annoyance of his pa, rti6ans, adopted the cautious tactics of their two former meetin mss, and kept entirely on the defensive, merely holding* himsel f ready to counter when his antagonist led. Bob Br ettle r .of course, was not disposed to throw away the least advo.ntagt) his skill and experience might give. It must be borne - in mind that Rooke had the advantage in height and reach, and why he did not make an effort to force the battle appears incomprehensible, and more especially as in the little fightin g that did take place when the men got tog ether he had a shade the best of it. Had Rooke been opposed to any oth, man than his old master, from whom he took his first initi .story lessons in the art, there can be little doubt he would, as he has done before, make a rattling mill, for it is kno\ vn he is by no means deficient in courage ; but with Bret:tle he appeared totally incapable of displaying anything like .the requisite dash and energy. In the whole four long and tedious rounds were got through, in the last of which. the roferee, finding the men stood looking at each other instead of getting to business, gave them a quarter of an hour to get to work. If nothing was done at the expi ration of that time he would declare it a draw. There was mot in the given time anything like business effected, there fore the affair ended in a drawn battle, the combatants having be en in the ring one hour and 40 minutes. It is almost needless to state that all bets are off. MEMORIAL TO THE LATE Mn. ROBT. STEPHEN SON, C.l beautiful memorial in the form of a "brass" has be c:n let into the nave of Westminster Abbey, midway between t,'le western entrance and the choir screen, to the memory of the above distinguished engineer, who, it will be rememberet 1, was interred near the spot in the latter part of 1 859.

Slade replied on the part of the petitioner, Mr. Burtoughs, and the Judge summed up the evidence. The jury had not returned their verdict when we went io press. POUND V. HALL AND OTHERS.-WHARFTNGERS AND BONDED GOO D IMP ORTANT MERCANTILE INQUIRY. This was an action to recover £4 18s. under somewhat important circumstances, plaintiff being an extensive wine and spirit merchant, of Cooper's-row, Trinity-square, and defendants, the well known wharfingers of Custom House Quay. Plaintiff said that he had brought forward this case en tirely on public grounds, as it was a somewhat serious matter. Some brandies, bonded in defendants' warehouses, had lost, in five months, in liquid and strength no less than fourteen proof gallons. And as the defendants had only offered £2, plaintiff felt justified in trying the question. Mr. White, Customs' guager, said he guaged the brandy in November last, it having been landed in June, and he found the loss to be 14 proof gallons. The average loss was 1 per cent. per annum, but this was a very inferior kind of spirit, and evaporated more quickly than a finer kind. The deficiency was large, but there were 30 sampling orders,and some tasting orders. Therefore the deficiency might be accounted for. Under other circumstances witnesses should have repotted the case to his superiors. The Cus toms allowed three gills to each sample, but with waste it would be nearer five gills. The casks are very deficient. Cross-examined by Mr. Jacobs, for defendants—l do not consider the deficiency excessive. No one could get into the vaults unless with the officer. Mr. Pound-- You say the average loss upon spirits is 1 per cent. Are you aware that the loss on these is 17 per cent ? Mr. Pound—Then I hope it will go forth that you do not consider 17 per cent. excessive. The broker who sold the spirits to Mr. Pound said the quality was " good common brandy," and all spirits evapo rated alike. Mr. Pound could call evidence as to the casks. The Judge—The gauger's evidence is conclusive against you. Besides, if any of defendants' servants got into the vaults, how do you make Messrs. Hall liable ? Mr. Pound--That has been decided. The Judge—lf defendants' servants pillaged your brandy, and from the evidence they did not, defendants are not liable. iderihaltOnlwish to do my duty with the the brandy has been pillaged, and I p r l u . gohbPloioperaidnt—dwlVillceornYwell. s forth that 17 per cent. is not consi dered excessive. _ _ _ The t tan officer. e e fi x c e i e e p n t c y w h s accounted for, no one Mr. Pound—l beg to say tha t is not correct, as I have g e ng j into udg t e h — e T v a h u e l t deficiency been in myself and with no Customs officer. The Judge finally ruled that defendants were entitled to a verdict with costs. Verdict for defendants. Ma Day.) POLICE IN.T.ELLIGENcE._( ASSAULTING THE POLICE.—Two young men, named William and James Bryan, were charged with assaulting the police. Police-constable 6 F said—This morning, about half-past 4, I found the prisoner William Bryan quarrelling with another person about a coat. I told them to go away, but instead of doing so Bryan turned and struck me a violent blow on the temple. A struggle took place, when James Bryan came up, and he also struck me. Another constable Game up, and both were secured. The evidence baying been confirmed, Both prisoners said the policeman had been drinking rum in a public-house, and because they had told him of it, be took them into custody. The Magistrate fined them 10e. each, or 14 days' im prisonment. CATCHING A TARTAR.—Thomas Sturges and Henry Stearm were charged with picking pockets, and assaulting Professor Harrison, "one of the strongest men in the world." Sergeant Holmes of the F division, said—This morning about half-past 11 he saw the prisoners following gentle men in Long-acre. Curtis, after examining the pockets of a gentleman, he put his left hand into the left side pocket and drew a silk handkerchief therefrom. Sturges was acting as covering him. I crossed over with the intention of taking the prisoner into custody, but they both ran off. Mr. Harrison, the gentleman I was in conversation with, followed one of the men, whilst I pursued the other. On Mr. Harrison coming up with Stearm he assaulted him. I found two handkerchiefs on the person of Stearm, and one down the leg of Sturgis. _ _ Mr. Harrison, landlord of the Opera Stores, Brydges street, said—My attention to the pocket-picking was directed by Holmes. After the handkerchief had bee. taken I saw Holmes run after Sturges, and I followed Stearm. On coming up with him he struck a blow, and, in attempting to secure him by the collar, my fist wont against his nose. (Laughter.) Stearm—Went against my nose I why, it was a regular hot 'un. He clawed my face, your worship, and nearly choked me. Sturges said nothing in answer to the charge. Both prisoners were remanded. A " MRS. GAMP."—Elizabeth Williams, an old Scotch woman, was charged before Mr. Yardley with being drunk and begging. The defendant, who has been charged at this court about 150 times-with drunkenness and begging, is a monthly nurse, and is a source of great trouble to the police. B, , vey, 85 C, proved sedug the defendant seize hold of a gentleman and beg, being drunk at the time. Mr. Yardley—Why, here you are again. It is only about a week ago since you were here last. Barnes, the gaoler, said that the defendant had been three times to the court since his worship last committed her for a month. Defendant, with a broad Scotch accent, said she had been suddenly called out to one of her ladies. :he didn't want to beg, as she had an income as long as she lived from her mother's brother, James Thompson. Mr. Yardley—You are one of the most expensive bur dens in the kingdom, as you pass the greater part of your time in prison. I shall see if we can't get some of your means and apply it to support you while in prison. Defendant—The police insult me by calling me "Mother Williams." Mr. Yardley—lf any one does so I will punish then ; but you have told me so many lies when you have been before me that I cannot believe you. Defendant—lndeed I know myself better. I had better bringing sup than to tell lies. (Laughter.) Bovey said she was so drunk that she could scarcely walk. Defendant—l'm a nurse, and upon my honour I had only had a cup of tea. I hope I know myself better than to drink. (Laughter.) Mr. Yardley—l shall commit you for three days. Defendant—When I come out I'll— Mr. Yardley—What ? Defendant (who evidently was arnatch for the magistrate), after a pause—Come and see you again. (Loud laughter.) Defendant left the bar evidently pleased at escaping a longer term of imprisonment. THE MANSLAUGHTER BY A PA.RISHIDOCTOR. This morning the adjourned inquest on Mrs. Cruse was held by Mr. John Humphreys, at the Salisbury Arms, Eastfield-street, Limehouse. The facts led to the conclu sion that Mr. Frederick Robinson, surgeon, of 10, Wilson street, Limehouse, and one of the medical officers of Stepney Union, had been guilty of undue care and gross neglect in his attendance on the woman in question when he was called on to attend her about two hours after her delivery, and, that in doing so, he so far did not exercise due pro fessional skill, but caused her death.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. Our market, to-day, was but moderately supplied with beasts ; nevertheless, all breeds met a dull inquiry, at Mon day's decline in the quctations. The general top figure was 4s 4d per 81bs. Sheep—the show of which was limited —changed hands slowly, at late rates. The best Downs, in the wool, realised 5s 4d—out of the'wool, 4s 8d per 81bs. There was a fair demand for lambs, at from 6s 8d to 7s 4d per 81bs. About 150 came to hand from the Isle of Wight. No change took place in the value of calves ; but the veal trade was somewhat heavy. Pigs and much cows were very dull, at barely stationary prices. Per Sib. to sink the offal. s. d. s. d. s. d. s. d.

ATTEMPTED MURDER AT SHAD W ELL Yesterday morning, shortly before 3 o'clock, a most determined attempt at murder took place at Shadwell. It appears that the attack was made upon a young man, named Robert Dain, aged 26 years, a native of Greenwich, who had been cohabiting with a prostitute at a brothel in Shadwell. At the time above named he had been drinking at several pnb lic-houses in Ratcliff-highway, and was accompa nied by his female companion, and just as they reached the door of the place where he lived, he exclaimed, "Oh God, lam stabbed." There were several women near him, and the wounded man fell upon the ground, when he was found to be bleed ing from a wound in the chest. A messenger was sent for medical assistance, but the woman who it is alleged stabbed him escaped, and was not secured. Dr. Ross, of High-street, attended, and bandaged up the wound, which was found to be three inches in length, and of considerable depth, passing through the fourth and fifth ribs. I\l9 time was lost in conveying him in a cab to the London Hospital, where he now remains in a very dangerous state. He has not the least idea of the person who inflicted the wound on his person, but he feels satisfied it was done by a female. A working carpenter of Stnttgard, named Sigel, has been ordered for trial on a charge of having cut off the long hair of a number of young girls in that city. Fifteen magnificent plaited braids of hair were discorered at his lodgings. TELLERS. THE INSURRECTION IN GREECE. OFFICIAL DESPATCH. (Iron a Supplement to the London Gazette of last night.) FOREIGN-OFFICE, MARCH 11. The Right Honourable the Earl Russell, her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, has received :from the Greek Chargé d'Affaires at this Court, an official com munication dated the 9th of March instant, stating that in consequence of the insurrection which had broken out at Nanplia, the King's Government had placed in a state of strict blockade some of the coasts of the Gulf of Argolis, specified in a notification from the (Greek) Department of the Marine, dated the 14th (26th) February, in the present year. Printed copies of such notification in the French language (of which a translation is herewith ap pended), were transmitted by the Greek Charge d'Affaires to Earl Russell with the above com munication, accompanied by a request that the notification might be made known to her Majesty's subjects. DEPARTMENT OF THE MARINE. NOTIFICATION RELATIVE TO A BLOCKADE OF A PART OP THE GULF OF ARGOLIS. It is notified by these presents that, on and from 1325th of this present month of February, all the coasts of the Gulf of Argolis from the roadstead of Astros, not included, to the Bay of Vourlia, in cluded, have been placed in a state of strict blockade I by a sufficient force of the Royal Navy. It is further notified that all measures, autho rized by the Law of Nations, and the several treaties between his Majesty the King of Greece and the different frienaly Powers, will be adopted and carried into execution, in regard to all ships which shall attempt to violate the said blockade. Athens, Feb. 26, 1862. The Minister of Marine, (Signed) D. BOTZARIS. THE _REVISED LODE. Last night Mr. Walpole laid on the table of the House of Commons the folowing resolutions, which he intends to move in committee of the whole house : " 1. That where it is proposed to give Govern ment aid to elementary schools it is inexpedient that the whole amount of such aid should depend upon the individual examination of each child in reading, writing, and arithmetic. "2. That the system of grouping by age for the purpose of examination would be unequal in its operation and an inadequate test of the work done in the schools, and specially disadvantageous to those children whose early education has been neglected. "3. That the provisions of the Revised Code in the points referred to in the foregoing reso lutions would, if unamended, increase the diffi culty of extending the benefits of the Government grants to poor and neglected districts. " 4. That the refusal of any portion of the parlia mentary grant on account of children who have once passed the highest class of examination is likely to have an injurious effect, as tending to aggravate the acknowledged evil of the withdrawal of children from elementary schools at an early age. " 5. That it is expedient that the capitation grant on account of children under seven years of age, should be made to depend on the individual exami nation of those children. " 6. That the provisions of the Revised Code with regard to evening schools are unsatisfactory, inas much as the master, in many cases, would be una ble, after the labour undergone in the day, ade quately to attend to the management and teaching of the evening scholars. " 7. That the regulations contained in the Re vised Code with regard to pupil-teachers are unjust and impolitic. " 8. That it would be unjust entirely to with hold the other benefits of the Parliamentary grant from such managers of schools as decline to under take to provide and pay the stipends and gratuities now severally payable on account of pupil teachers during the continuance of their current apprenticeship. "9. That it would be impolitic to run the risk of a return to the monitorial system, by discouraging the employment of pupil-teachers, and that such employment would be better promoted by pecuniary premiums than by pecuniary penalties. " 10. That, in January of each year if the code be revised, or any material alterations in it be necessary, it shall be printed in such a form as to show separately all articles cancelled or modified and all new articles. " 11. That, in the event of such revision or altera ion as mentioned in the last foregoing resolution, A shall not be lawful to take any fiction thereon until the same shall have been submitted to Par. liament and laid on the table of both houses for at least one calendar month." MURDER AT IVOR7HALLERTON. Johnson Metcalfe, who stood charged with the wilful murder of William Parker at Northallerton, in the North Riding, on or about the 20th of January last, was tried on Friday at York before Justice Mellor. Mr. Maule opened the case. He said that the prisoner was a clockmaker, who in January last resided at Northallerton. The deceased man William Parker, as well as a companion named James Todd, a weaver, residing at the same period at Brompton, which is nearly two miles from Northallerton. On Saturday, Jan. 25, the two latter persons visited Northallerton, and went into the Golden Lion. Here they stayed drinking until 5 minutes to 12 o'clock, when they left to go home, Parker being apparently sober and Todd drunk. At a place called Fawcett's Corner, they came upon the prisoner Metcalfe. Todd put a question to Metcalfe as to the time of the night, which, from the latter bearing the soubriquet of Clock , y, was offensive to him, and he began to swear. Todd replied " I has asked a civil question; you might give me a civil answer." He again swore, and Todd said "If you continue to use such language, I shall have a policeman brought to you." Metcalfe thereupon answered " Police I I'll soon settle you; I have something in the house. I'll soon settle you," He walked towards his house, which was about 70 yards off, muttering something. Todd and the deceased followed in the same direstion, and after passing the place where the prisoner had entered, Metcalfe returned his hands, whic h he elevated into the street, with a gun in at the men, and fired. Directly after arker exclaimed, , 'Joe, I'm shot ;" whilst Todd's coat sleeve being hit by the shot was set on fire. Todd put the sparks out, and then ran at the prisoner, with whom he struggled. He told him that he had shot Parker, to which the prisoner re plied " Yes, I have another barrel which I'll give you." Todd fearing he would do what he threatened, pushed the barrel of the gun from him and ran to the police station. Subsequently, the deceased was found in the street in a pool of blood. He was insensible, and was at once removed \ to the Buck Inn, where it was found that the left arm was so shattered, that imputation was necessary. B e gradually sank after the performance of this operation, and died on Sunday evening. Evidence in support of this statement having been called, Mr. Price addressed the jury for the defence. He admitted that the deceased had died from a gunshot wound. This, however, was all which had been proved, as the remainder of the case was simply a string of suggestions and inferences, which came principally from the mouth of the prisoner Todd, upon whose word his previous character would not justify them in placing the slightest reliance. He referred to the want of concealment on the part of the prisoner after the shooting, and to his expressions made to the policeman, that he had only done it in self-de fence, and then set np the h yp othesis, that when Metcalfefromit r e a r n c t e e r d , ge whon tl him, em aduring called whi ch a number the a . s t T o h e ch l a e spoke in the highest terms of the prisoner's bearing throurigh- - out a term of upward s of 40 years. The jury found the p soner guilty of manslaughter. Sentence was deferred. The prisoner several times during the trial was deeply and visibly affected. ___ . !El ON MAIL PAC, MAILS DUE. .. April 1.

The concert in aid of the Brompton Hospital took place on Tuesday night, and more than came up to what had b e e n a nti c ipated. the audience, one of the most brilliant ever assembled in St. James's-hall, Ras also one of the most indulgent— liberal of applause where the eff)rt to please was manifest, and ultra-liberal where, as more than once occurred, earnest endeavour was rewarded by success. In short, the performances were enjoyed from first to last, and in frequent instances appre ciated with such downright heartiness as must have greatly flattered the amateur singers and players who were induced to make a public exhibition of their talents on behalf of a very useful and com mendable charity. When this concert was originally projected it was intended that the proceeds should be handed over to the fund for the relief of the families of those who suffered in the Hartley Col liery—which may account for a conspicuous feature in the programme, viz., an ode upon that lament able calamity, written by Mr. Shirley Brooks, and set to music by the Hon. Seymour Egerton. The music is divided into five parts,- respectively fitted to each change of rhythm adopted by the poet—a recitative, accompanied (Mr. Underdown) ; a part song for five Voices (chorus); a recitative for tenor (Herr Kumpel) ; a ballad, for tenor ; and a final chorus. The striking numbers are the five-part song ("When the laurel wreath is woven"), and—not withstanding the close resemblance of one particular passage to a prominent theme in Weber's overture, " The . Ruler of th e Spi r i ts "—th e fi na l c h orus. The execution was, for the most part, highly cr edit a ble ; and the audience not only encored the part-song, but unanimously recalled the composer at the ter mination of his work. The ode was preceded by Beethoven's overture to " Egmont ;" the first tenor air and a .. chorus (" Yet cloth the Lord see it not") from "Elijah" (solo singer Herr Kumpel); and the Barcarole from Professor Sterndale Bennett's fourth pianoforte concerto—a beautiful composition, as all amateurs are aware, and played to perfection, as all amateurs will believe, when it is stated that Mdlle. Angelina Goetz was the player. Th e second part of the concert began with the overture to " Guil laume Tell (encored) and ended with the overture to " Oberon"—both orchestral masterpiece s o ff er i ng difficulties to players of long professional experience, and therefore doubly trying to amateurs, with wh om the practice of music is an occasional means of re laxation. The " Guillaume Tell" overture, more over, was immediately followed by the elaborate in troduction to that magnificent opera, for chorus and solo voices (solos by Mr. Tom Hohler, Dr. Levies, Mr. Frank Skey, and Mr. Underdown—two tenors and two basses), which together with the adagio from Mendelssohn's Symphony in A minor (" Scotch"), also introduced in the second part of the programme, gave further proofs that in some in stances ambition slightly outweighed discretion. Horsley's glee "By Celia's Arbour ;" Mr. J. L. Hal ton's arrangement of " My love is like the red red rose" as a part-song for chorus (extremely well given), a cleverly-written solo for cornet-a-pistons (with accompaniments for the orchestra), the com position of Mr. Frederick Clay, performed by Mr. A. B. Mitford ; and two vocal solos—an aria from Donizetti's "Dom Sebastiano" and Gordigiani's " Un Ricordo"—both sung with remarkable taste, the first (encored) by Mr. Tom Hohler, the last (and, though not encored, the best) by a gentleman whose name we could not learn, completed the pro gramme. The orchestra, consisting of upwards of 70 performers (30 from the ranks of the " Wander ing Minstrels") was conducted, with the nerve and decision of an old practitioner, by the Hon. Seymour Egerton. The chorus numbered something short of 200, and in each department—soprano, alto, tenor, and bass—voices of rare strength and fresh ness were detected. Singers and players were ex clusively amateurs. FRESH "ISSIRI.AN DISCOVERIES BY SIR HENRY RAWLINSON. Sir Henry Rawlinson has Written to the .Athe meinn, giving the result of some recent investiga tions of the Assyrian tablets in the British Museum. London, Feb. 28, 1E62. In examining the many fragments of the historical tablets of Ashur-bani-pal, the son of Esar- Haddon, which crowd theishelves of the British Museum, with a view of arranging, if possible, one complete copy of the annals for publication, I have, within these few days, lighted upon a passage which had previously escaped my observation, but which I have now found repeated in a more or less perfect state on several of these mutilated terracotta records. The possage is of great interest, as it furnishes the first point of undoubted contact between Greek and Assyrian history, and I hasten, therefore, to announce the discovery. Ashur-bani-pal states as follows :—" Gyges was King of Lydia, a country on the seashore, and so far off that the kings, my fathers, who reigned before me, had never even heard the name of it. In obedience to my royal proclama tion—(the proclamation is given at length, and invites all people to do homage and offer tribute to Ashur-bani-pal, King of Asyria, on pain of incurring the vengeance of Ashur. King of the Gods)—the said Gyges sent his officers to my presence to propitiate me ; and they brought with them some Cimmerian slaves whom they had t , ken in, battle when those tribes invaded Lydia, together with a heavy tribute. They brought these things before me at Nineveh, and they kissed my yoke." This Lydian tribute was brought to Nineveh, it would seem, early in the reign of Ashur-bani.pal, perhaps as early as B.C. 660 ; but the event could hardly have occurred. anterior to that date, and we must either, therefore, re duce by some 20 years the ordinarily received chronology, or we must suppose the Gyges of the inscriptions to be the Ardys of Herodotus. The Cimmerianinvasion favours the latter explanation ; but, on the other hand, we must re member that a passage of Dionysius (tom. vi., p. 773, Reiske) does actually fix the commencement of the Lydian kingdom as late as p.c. 698, so that Gyges, who reigned 3$ years, would have been still living in B.C. 660. It is fur ther ethnologically interesting to find that the Scythians, who invaded Lydia in the seventh century 8.C., and whore Herodotus calls Cimmerians, were really the 'same people as the Sam of later history ; the title of Gimirri, which is used in this passage of Ashurbani-pal's annals (and pre viously, for the first time, in the annals of Esar-Haddon), being the Assyrian equivalent for the Persian Saca in the trilingical inscriptions of Darius Hystaspes. Whether this name of Gimirri, however, has any real connexion with the modern Cymri, or Celts. is, I think, exceedingly doubtful. H. C. RAWLINSON. London, March 4. P.S.— Since writing the above I have continued ray search among the hitherto unexamined tablets of the British Museum, and have been rewarded by further die coveries. Upon a broken clay tablet belonging to the Biblical Tiglath-Fileser I have found an epitome of the h monarch's ig r n e fd a es f c r r o i m be d his ln first to hie Babylonia ; 2. In Media and Armenia ; 3 . In Asia Minor ; istorical seventeenthev ents year. of this The campa and 4. In Syria; and the narrative throughout is far more detailed than on the slabs, with which alone we have been previously acquainted. In the Syrian chapter, for in stance, after the usual lists of kings who brought their tribute to Tiglath-Pileser in his eighth year, and among whom, as is already known, are Menahem of Samaria, Hiram of Tyre, and Rezin of Damascus, we have a supple mentary list of the tributary kings of Southern Syria, which is entirely new, and which, although unfortunately imperfect owing to a fracture in the tablet, still preserves the names of the kings of Arved, Beth Ammon, Moab, Ascalon, Judtia, Edom, and Gazah. The name of the Jewish king ought, according to the Scriptural narrative, to be Ahaz ; but on the tablet we find Jeho-ahaz (or, as it is written in Assyrian in the oblique case, Yahu-khazi). that the Assyrians did not know the names of the foreign What are we to suppo se from this ? Was it reall y t he case kings who brought or sent them tribute ; mistaking Pek a b. for his predecessor Menahem, and confounding Ahaz, king • of Judah, with Jeho-ah az, king of Israel , who reigurzd a cen t ur y earlier P or h as the Hebre w nomenclature come in a corrupted state ? There c an b e no doubt d own to u- fromawshwateellvear,s f rom the th e g emn mention a t i l e i i o n o c f u R r r e e z n i n c y o o f f ro t h a e m c a h s r c o u n s o , og y that, the Tiglath-Pileser the Second of the Assyrian annals is the same king whose Syrian expedition is described in 2 icings xiv.; (?) yet it is equally certain that, instead of the Pekah and Ahaz of the Bible, we have the cuneiform. names of Menahem and Jeho-ahaz for the contemporary monarchs of Israel and Judah, The tablet of Tiglath-Pileser, 'which I am now describ ing, is, like all other monuments of this monarch, entirely silent as to his ancestry, thus affording strong negative evidence that he was a usurper, and initiated the second. or lower dynasty of Assyria ; and it also points to a very close connection in time between Tiglath-Pileser and Sar gon, the names of the tributary kings which it enumerates being, for the most part, the same as thoes of the monarchs whose conquests is narrated on the marbles of Khorsabad. If the reign of Shalmaneser did really intervene between that of Tiglath Pileser and that of Sargon, it could have been but of very short duration. Merodach-Baladin, in deed, the son of Yakin-L-who is stated at Khorsabad to have ascended the throne of Babylon in the same year that n Sargon commenced his reign at Ninevah—was e already ont of power when Tiglath-Pileser, at the very cemroe time, it is e o his career, invaded Babylonia ; though at that ed true, his dominion seems to have been confin ed tory on the sea-coast, and at the mouth to the terri tory the H Euphrates. k ----- REPRESENTATION OF WYcomßE.—Mr. Campbell Sleigh has retired, leaving Mr. Remington Mills, the onl y Liberal candidate, in the fi e ld.
