The Ruins OF NINEvAH.-Mr. Azariah Smith,
in a letter to Prot. Sillimau, an extract of which
is given the last number of the Journal, remarks
that it was his rare fortune to travel, few weeks
previously, in company with Mr.. Layard-the
English gentleman who, aided by scientific so.
ciety of Great Britain, has been employed for the
last year or two in making excavations about the
Ruins OF Ninevah. HIS main work has been
done at Nimrood, at near the junction of the
Zab and the Tigres, some twenty miles south of
the excavations made by Mons. Bolts, at Khorsa-
bad. From inscriptions, partially deciphered. it
would appear that one Of the three palacas disen-
tombed at Nimrood. and that Khrosabad, were
built by father and son, or other near relations
and from other inscriptions disentombed by Mr..
Layard from the mound Of Zoyumj jonk-the
mounds Of long repute directly opposite the city
of Mosul-it would appear that that also sustans
similar relation to the others. From this fact,
that the view formerly that Nnevah was latterly
made up several collections of houses interspe rsed
with ga rdens, receives additional support, and all
doubt is now removed from those passages of Sa-
cred and Profnne History which make it all ex
ceedng city of three days journey.
Among other most interesting stones. sculpiured
and carved, sent to England from the dlsentomb.
ed Palaces OF Nimrood, there is an teisk Of con.
siderable sze-containing, as appears from the
partially deciphered incription. chronological list
of the Kings of Assyria-beginning with Ninns
and it would seem that it agree, with authoritative
