ANTIQUARIAN DISCOVERIES AT EPHESUS.—Mr.
Hyde Clarke writes to the Atheitmunz from Smyrna,
on the 4th inst.:—"Yesterday, being at Azizieh, I had some
finds, worth noticing in the Athenxurn. 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 alarge
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. 1 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. The
pass leading to Azizieh is well supplied with water. Below
Eski Azizieh is a good stream most of the way from Magnesia
ad Maandrum. I consider Eski Azizieh a promising site
for 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 onea s Sathtuatrdtahye
night by a follow-workman, a fitter. it ap
puddler lodged at a house in which ayounpgwroman re-

Upon this the puddler knocked him ds ow n.
When he rose up large knife be pulled out a with a spring
at the back and stabbed the puddler to the heart. The
wounded man died almost immediately. The fitter was
