Proceedings were commenced on Monday last
for the removal of this pavement, under the
direction of Mr., Minton. its destination being,
we understand, the new Crystal Palace at
Sydenham
This relic of the ancient splendor of London,
at the time when it fourished as Roman col-
eny, under the title of Augusta, was discovered
about the beginning Of last month, at depth
of about fifteen feet from the surface, and about
two feet lower than the foundations Of Gresham
House, on the site of which the Excise Office was
built. The extent of the pavement comprises q
square Of twenty eight feet. 1t is composed in
o geometrical pattern of broad lines, forming
intersections Of octagon and lozenge compart-
ments The octagon figures are hordered with
n cable pattern shaded with gray, and inter-
laced with square border shaded with red and
yellow. In the centers, within q ring, are ex-
panded flowers shaded in red, yellow and gray j;
the double row Of leaves radiating from figure
called ''true-loye knot" alternating with a
figure something like the tiger lily. Between
the octagon figures are square compartments
bearing various devices; that in the center of
the pavement being decorated with the figure
of Ariadne, or Bacchante, reclining on the back
of a panther, the remains of which Indicate
spirited action; but only the fore paws, one
Of the hind paws and the tail remain Over
the head of the figure floats. a light drapery,
forming an arch, which she retains with the
right hand, while the left appears to hays rested
on the panther's neck Another square CON

gons, at the sides of the pattern, are iunettes.
one of which contains q fan ornamented; an
other, a bowl crowned with flowers. The loz-

with the figures Of leaves, shells, love knots,
