Within the enclosure. Captain Warren, how-
ever, worked as near as wee presible. He notioed
the peat atones of the lower tie (one 70 feet long,
mid 'apposed to weigh 100 tons) which were kept on
molt other by their own weight. These were similar
to these found in the temple at Realise, and were
of the time of Solomon, bat above them were stones
meth smaller, and supposed to belong to the
Herodian age. In the lower part Dr. Robinson
noticed 30 years ago the fragment of an arch, which
be oonsidend to be part of the bridge wow the
Tyropeen valley, by which the Jews, "went up to
the home of the Lord." It was near the present
level of the ground; but • shaft sunk near revealed
that the valley had been partly filled up with stones,
mod fifty feet deep the explorers came upon the pier,
and found the curved Ilona of the bridge at the
both= of the wall. It had been broken down by
immense quantities of SWOON thrown on it by the
Romans at the destruction of the Temple. After
dmenbing the Jews' "Wailing Paw," he went to
speak of the plaoe called Ophel mid in the Book of
Kings to have been built by Am, and a tower ailded by
Mansersh. This place mould not be found for some
time, until careful conaidemtion of the Scripture
record pointed out to Captain Warren • spot where
be excavated sod found Ophel and its lower-a
remarkable proof that the books of the Old Testament
are accurate in description. At great depths had
been found stones marked with Pbsenioian mamma
confirming the Scripture statement that Solomon's
masons were assisted by men from Tyre. After
narrating the extraordinary investigation of the
Pool of Siloam, the =enaction of which with the
Virgins' fountain at Ophel wee proved, be gave other
instances of interesting discoveries. £13,000 had been
spent in the exploration, and £5,000 or £6,000 were
wanted for the present year, or the work must be
stopped. The expense of timber in the Holy Lend
is very great, and for want of funds to renew it,
some of the most interesting shafts had been allowed
to fell in, lie appealed to the meeting for funds to
carry on the work. -A vote of thanks was given to
the lecturer on the motion of the Chairman, and Mr.
Could= moved a vote of thanks to the Chairman,
which was also oordially agreed to.-A collection in
aid of the Exploration Fund was made at the door,
and produced £8 15a 104. Mr. G. Eliot will
thankfully recedes any oontributions to the Fund.
LIFT:SORT FOR Tut CRIWIL BEACH. -OD Monday
morning laid, the Weymouth branch committee of
the Lifeboat Institution met • deputation of the
Portland fishermen at the Town hall, to receive the
prepped& of the latter with reference to • lerret on
the lifeboat principle being planed on the Chesil
Beach. There were present of the committee; J.
Grieve, Esq., bon. sec., F. C. Bteguall, Fey.' W.
Symonds, &q., G. Bishop, Esq., O. E. Eliot, Fag.,
J. Third, Esq., and Mr. R. Damon, and on the part
of the fiabermen-Messm J. Way, Russell, Flame,
Flamm, jun., Lewis, and White. The deputation
staled that the boat they wanted should be about
41 feet long, fitted with air-chambers to keep her
afloat, and rowed with copped oars on iron pins;
she should have • lug sail, and a sprit mizen. -Mr.
Bishop wiegeoted that the fisherman !Mould inspect
his boat, se he thought a better model than the lerret
might be obtained for the lifeboat; but the fishermen
remained firm to their first ideas. They also asked
for lifebelta, ropes, and the "stays" before spoken
as applission for raving life. It wee decided to
imesseit their proposals to the Parent Institution.
Woman° Melee EXHIBMON. -We are pleased
to use that the Weymouth Working Men, Club
have taken up this matter with& spirit characteristic
of their officer& Not long ago we reported a highly
infloantial meeting, at the club room, North Quay,
which was attended by H. Edwards,
aed that gentleman liberally promised to give a
premium of £lO to any Weymouth workman who
should gain • prize at Islington. It will be seen by
advertisement that the committee invite all workmen
in the county of Dorset to send in contributions to
• local setubitioa to be held in June at the rooms,
North (pay, Weymouth, so that theresults of Dorset
men's skill and patience may be weeded out. This

exesllent idea, for many would otherwise prepare
kw welding to London, and be disappointed, either
by the unfitoess of their work, for exhibition, or by
their being afterwards lost in the crowd of good
thine'. By sending their work to Weymouth, Dorset
workmen will enjoy the advantage nf • most favour-

but said be did not feel disposed to subscribe towards
the entertainment. Mr. Hobbs had, however,
corrected Mr. Hambro's mistake that the money wiui
required for an entertainment, and he still hoped to
receive a cheque. The B.ev. Silas Walmesley then
gave an address in favour of the Permissive Bill, but

Tgg Pulloyolllll AND Viende.-A lecture on

Parisi to the performers, ha gave a most learned
and exhaustive history of the progress of pianoforte
music, accompanying It with illustrations from the

Dawes obliged with, "Home, Scoot Home," another
exeellent morream The part of the lecture relating to
the violin was andloiently good to have been delivered
on a separate occasion as a lecture of itself. Mr.
Dawn gave an excellent history of the viol and violin,
and illustrated it with a number of firatrate selections,
in which he showed himself a thorough arti rt.
The ancient " Cuckoo solo" was given in the greatest
perfection, arid throughout the whole, in spite of
the lateness of the hour, and the increasiog cold of
the room, the audience were enraptured. The double-
stopping of Mr. Dawes produced marvels in the way of
effect, and when be was socompanied by Nisi Dawes on
the piano the harmony was perfection. Lured on from
one treat to another, the audience were induced to
remain until • very his hear.-4 vote of thanks, was,
at the close cordially awarded, on the proposition of
Mr. Marling, for the charm with whioh the lecturer had
invested the sulij,ct. the choice eelection of illustrations,
and the brilliant and tasteful execution. The audience
then separated with expressions of admiration for Mr.
and bliss Dawes, whom we hope to hear again at no
remote period, and the audience will be well utiflei if
they only give half the plume they did on Wednesday
night.
