PALESTLVI ZIPLORA77ON FUND.

This society, which, ander the patronage of her
Majesty, is established for the accurate and systematic
investigation of the archeology, topography, geology,
physical geography, and the manners and customs of e
Holy Land, for the purposes of biblical illustration, held
its annual meeting yesterday at Willis's Hoer; the Arch-
bishop of Yoax weeding. The Earl of Dome, the Earl of
Shaftesbury, Dean Stanley, Sir H. Rawlinson, Mr. Layard,
M.P., Mr. W. Morrison, M.P., Mr. Tite, M.P., Dean
Alford, Alderman Hale, Dean Close, and many other dis-
tinguished clergymen and laymen were also present, to-
gether with a large assemblage of ladies.
Mr. P. W. HOLI4IID, one of the honorary secretaries,
read a report detailing the society's operations during the
pod year, which bad been limited for want of means.
There was a considerable increase in the number of sub-
scribers, bat the total amount of subscriptions was very
inadequate to the carrying out of the whole scheme of
operations. Mr. Warren's explorations had thrown
light upon the original features of Temple-bill,
and promised to discover data for farming
opinion of the position of various sites in thHory
aq. For the drat time the actual settee of the
ancient city bad been reached ; underground a
network of drains and reservoirs wee being laid
which would no doubt aid in settling man points con-
nected with the level of different portions of Jerusalem. In
the valleys of the liedron and of the Tyropcsan, by a sue-
cassioa of shafts, discoveries of intense interest had been
made with regard to the original course and character of
the valleys. The limits of the bill and position of the
wall of Ophel bad been in a great measure ascertained,
end shafts gunk on the south of the wall of the Hares
area had shown that the amount given by Joseph= of the
giddy height of the battlements of the ancient city was
not the exaggeration supposed. Other details of the dis-
coveries made were given, and of the operations now
going on, and it was announced that Lieutenant
Warren would start on his return to Palestine,
to resume his labours, with an increased staff.
The principal feature of the meeting was the am:Cunt given
by Lieutenant Warren of the excavation he is making at
Jon nial and the gallant officer having been called upon
by Lord Maftesbury, he proceeded to read a statement the
effect of which wee that there were employed on the
Jerusalem exploration two corps of bigiueers engaged in
the excavations, aird about 70 Muellmans. The objects
discovered in the excavations were remarkable for their
paucity. They consisted&idly of pottery, bronsed..
and glass. The seal of Haggai had been found, s
to be of the time of Ezra—and the letters wore in Mr- —Old
Samaritan character. The discovery of the site of the
Temple, the position of Mount Zion, and other places of
Wm at, he hoped would reward further research. He
then gave a detail of the arches, causeways, wells, aque-
ducts, vault; &c., and offered his own speculations as to
the period and objects of the fountain; subterranean
ways, and building remain found.
The Dean of Warning's= submitted a resolution of
thanks to Lieut. Warren for his satisfactory and inte-
resting account, sad expwesing an earnest hope that he
would be enabled to continue his valuable researches with
like success. _

Mr. A. H. LATAED, M.P., seconded the motion, and,
from personal experience, bore testimony to
the a:aculties of prosecuting such operations
so those in which Lieutenant Warren was en-
in a climate like that of Palestine, and
am•
id a population so bigotted in their religion as
,rce Mahommedims.

The motion wen curried unanimously.
air IL Liwasma, who dwelt upon the necemity of
pralizig an accurate map of Palestine, moved, " That
it of Se utmost importance that while the excavations
ware carried on with utiebsted vigour, a systematie survey
of the whole of Palestine should be completed as seen as
pcsdble."
The Bev. Yr. HMI= msonded the motion, sod, Misr-
bag from Dr. lihmley, thought that further monstione
might set et rest the debated quo Lion whether the ancient
March of theflepuletwe was without or within the walls
of the city, and determine many other interesting archon-
logioel points

TM resolution was
The Be,. G. Wuzaane monad a declaration of the de-
eirabilly of further researches as to the geology, zoology,
and bob ny of Palestine.
Yr. C. GLIM! emonded the resolution, which was car-
ried, end the proceeding. terminated with a vote of thanks
to the chairman.
