ANTIQUARIAN DISCOVERIES AT EPHESUS.--Mr.
Hyde Clarke writes to the Athenxion from Smyrna,
on the 4th inst.:—"Yesterday, being at Azizieh, I had some
finds, worth noticing in the Atheneum. First I examined
the conical hill near Azizieh, beyond the Ephesus Pass.
This, as I suspected, I found to be a tomb ; and it proves
to be one of the remarkable monuments of Asia Minor. It
is a conical hill about 600 or 700 feet high, but joining on
to a low ridge behind. It is so unlike the neighbouring
formations of limestone that I suspect it has been trimmed
partially. This mound, about 150 feet below the sum-
mit, is crowned with a ring wall of loose rubble piled
about ten feet wide on the surface, and which is mostly
in good preservation. On the top is the tumulus in a
very dilapidated state, having been rifled and in a worse
state than the tomb of Tantalus on Sipylus. There are
appearances of the inner vault, and, like that of Tantalus,
there are many bits of tiles of the same kind, and so like-
wise in the wall and scattered over the mound. To desig-
nate this I propose to call it the Tomb of Lydus. At the
foot to the east, close against the tomb, I found the site of
a small town, about I,oooft. square, evidently on the old
road to the interior. I then went with Mr. E. A. Drew to
see the pass he has brought to light, and which is the real
Ephesus Pass, about one mile or one mile and a half to the
right of the present Ephesus Pass through which the rail-
way passes to Azizieh. The original and deserted pass is
a very interesting site. Here I identified the site of a large
town or city, which must have had upwards of 20,000 in-
habitants. For a mile and a half or two miles the surface is
thickly filled with tiles and stones, interspersed with foun-
dations and heaps of stones. The only sculptured remains
are at the lower part, near Azizieh, where there is a small
but solid building with a niche and two windows. In the
tombs are two double pilasters of very poor style. This
place I have named Eski Azizieh. I cannot conjecture its
ancient designation. It was evidently the summer town or
village of Ephesus, and I consider Latorea was at Boorgas,
close by. There are considerable remains of the causeway,
but the place must have been deserted centuries ago. Tho
pass leading to Azizieh is well supplied with water. Below
Eski Azizieh is a good stream most of the way from Magnesia
ad Mmendrum. I consider Eski Azizieh a promising site
fir excavations. All the places I have referred to are
within a short walk of Azizieh, and Eski Azizieh is about
five miles from Ephesus station."

MURDER NEAR NEWPORT.--A puddler at the
Cwmbran Iron Works was murdered on Saturday
night by a fellow-workman, a fitter. It appears that the
puddler lodged at a house in which a young woman re-
sided, and whOm he was courting. On Saturday night,
about 9 o'clock, as they were walking together, the fitter
joined them; he was a great deal the worse for liquor, and
as they proceeded along the road he attempted to kiss the
young woman. Upon this the puddler knocked him down.
When he rose up he pulled out a large knife with a spring
at the back and stabbed the puddler to the heart. The
wounded man died almost immediately. The fitter was
secured by the police ; he is a native of Westbromwicb,
where his parents carry on a large business. Mr. W. H.
Brewer will hold an inquest on the body of the deceased
this morning.

MR. SEWARD'S SENSATIONS WHEN ATTACKED BY

THE ASSASSIN.-A correspondent of tho Spectator says
that Mr. Seward and his son have each told, at the

request of friends, the story of their sensations at the
time of the attempted assassination :—" Mr. Frederick
Seward said that on stepping from his bedroom
into the passage and seeing the assassin he merely
wondered what ho was doing there, and called him to
account. On his resisting the fellow's attempt to press
into Mr. Seward's room, he (the assassin) drew a revolver,
which he presented at Mr. Frederick Seward's head.
What followed, it must be remembered, took place is a
few seconds. Mr. Frederick Seward's first thought was,
That's a navy revolver.' The man pulled the trigger,
but it only snapped, and his intended victim thought,
That cap missed fire.' His next sensation was that of
confusion, and being upon the floor, resting upon his right
arm, which, like his father's jaw, was barely recovered
from a bad fracture—the assassin had felled him to the
floor with the butt of the pistol—he put his hand to his
head, and finding a hole there, he thought, 'That cap did
not miss fire, after all.' Then he became insensible, and
assassinated

of State, had asked his father what preparation
should be made for the presentation of Sir Frederick
Bruce, which was to take place the next day. Mr.
Seward gave him the points of a reply to be made to
Sir Frederick, and he laid the outline of his speech upon
the President's table, and, as I have previously informed
my readers, Mr. Lincoln that afternoon wrote out the
reply, adopting Mr. Seward's suggestions, and thus pre-
paring that reception of the British Minister by President
Johnson which was regarded at the time by the people to
whose representative it was addressed as so friendly, and
fair, and dignified. Mr. Frederick Seward's first inquiry
after he came fully to his senses, which was a long time
after the assassination, was, 'Has Sir Frederick Bruce
been presented ?" He thought that only one night had

frame which had been made to give him ease, and to pro-
tect his broken jaw from pressure. He was trying to
keep awake, having been seized upon by a sick man's
fancy-it was that if he slept he would wake up with
the lockjaw. He was brought to full consciousness by
the scuffle in the passage-way, followed by the entrance
of the assassin, and the cry of Miss Seward, 'Oh! he
will kill my father !' But he saw nothing of his assailant
until a hand appeared above his face, and then his
thought was, What a handsome man !' (Payne was a
fine-looking fellow.) Then came a sensation as of rain
striking him smartly upon one side of his face and neck,
then quickly the same upon the other side, but he felt
no severe pain. This was the assassin's knife. The
blood spouted, he thought, My time has come,' and,
falling from the bed to the floor, fainted. His first sensa-
tion of returning consciousness was that he was drindrinkingtea, and that it tasted good.' Mrs. Seward was giving
him tea with a spoon. He heard low voices around him,
asking and replying as to whether it would be possible for
him to recover. He could not speak, but his eyes showed
his consciousness, and that he desired to speak. They
brought him a porcelain tablet, on which he managed to
write, Give me some snore tea ; I shall get well.' And
from that moment he has slowly but steadily recovered
health and strength."
