ACCOUNTS FROM NINEvEH from Mr.
Layard have been received so late as the 18th Of
March, in which he mentions the Arab reports of
remarkable antiquities in the desert of Khabour,
which have never been visited by European foot
steps, and towards the exploration of which he was
just setting out, with escort of Arab Sheiks and
their followers, in all to the number of seventy or
eighty. During his absence on this new track the
excavations at Nimrood are to be continued by the
parties employed on that work, which has recently
furnished interesting acquisitions to Mr.. Layards
collection. One important inscription is mentioned,
and more winged lions and bulls. Mr. Layard had
received Major Rawnson's first exposition; and
though he agreed with him in many respects he
was not quite satisfied with his chronology, and
rather adhered to the opinions put forth in his own
work.-Litrary Gaseffe.
