The Dead Sea and the Cities of the Plain.

In the Old Testament Scriptures there is an
account of the utter overthrow and destruction
of certain cities, the inhabitants of which arous-
ed the Divine vengeance. 1t has always been q
favorite theory with many moderns, that the
Dead Sea covered the site of the cities of Sodom
and Gomorrah and, unless we err in our recol-
lections, Lieut., Lynch gave that opinion all en-
phatic endorsation. Indeed, galent officer
had no doubt that he had found Mrs. Lot, who,
we are told was transformed into pillar Of salt,
for looking back as she ran.
A book has just been published in England,
and, we presume, will soon be published in this
country which viii give the quietus to the popular
idea on this subject. tseems that Monsieur de Sar
lev, member of the French Institute could not
coincide in opinion with the popular notions of
the overthrow of the cities Of the plain regar-
ding them as unauthorized by the Scrptural his
tory of that event. His desire to vindicate the
c,,-rectness of his views induced him to visit the
Holy land Accordingly, he left for the scene

Son, the Able de ST. MlG5en, ana several lil'eiii-

He was abundanty supplied with means ana
having secured strong body guards ofinfantry
and cavalry, he enabled to proceed with hs
mission without danger from the nomadic tribes
of Arabs He directed his attention, first, to
carf.l examination of the Dead Sea. Beneath the
sinking waters of this remarkable sea, popular
tradition had located Sodom and Gomorrah; but
he was soon convinced, that, like the apples
which were once believed to grow upon It's 6or-
ders, the popular idea had no foundation IN fact
But he found the cities of the PLAIN, ana ipue
among their ruins. His eyes looked upon theif
widely extended remains, bearing even no"

interest with all travellers and explorers in all
times, From the Crusades until the present
hour men have foclSed thither, and trodden the
land more full of sublime memories than any por-
tion of this babbling earth. e.
But we easily account for the failure to discov-
er these relics of the olden times. Men have al
ways visited the Dead Sea, and as they looked
upon its sluggish, salt waters, have regarded
them as shutting up in darkness the cities
accursed of Heaven. Hence no traveller has
sought after the cities ofthe plain and it has been
reserved for the FRENCH sayant of the present day
to bring to light this strong confirmation of the
