Interesting Discoveries in Athens.

Durinc the last wee}, of October interesting
archaeological discoveries were made, in course
of tho excavations that are now proceeding on
the Acropois. Among the things brought to
liobt is an image of Minerva, in mutlIated
state without head hands Or feet, having ON
the breast head of Medusa, and wearing
garment extending to the feet.
Pedestals with inscriptions have also been
found. On one of them stands the statue OF
the comic Poet Philemon, son OF Damon: on
another statue erected by the Athenians IN
honor of julius Caesar and upon two others
are inscribed the names OF the gate keepers OF
the Acropolis. A pillar bears yotive offering
of Nicaretes OF the Attic Demus Peeces. There
is also pedestal, five feet in height, on which
the people of Gythum erected astatue to CIau-
dius Atticus, (Herodes,) styling him the oeno-
factor of the nation, and founder and savior OF
their city.
Pieces Of slabs, with parts of public DEGREES,
&c., inscribed upon them, have also been dis
covered.
A few days previously the workmen had
brought to light a wide stairway OF ten steps,
leading into the Parthcnon on the west sde'
and an inscription mentioning an unknown
structure in the Acropolis, called the ChalEothe
ke-a receptacle for brazen vessels or instru
ments; also part ola Quadrireme, in low re

represented. From the figure of man lying

THE NEW CHAPTER.

The Anti- SldUery Standard of June End, in anti.
~cipation of the action of the Buffalo Conference,
says:
"The tnew chapter. fairly characterized in
the report of the Minority as intended only as a
decld' alton Of sentiment" and which can have no
disciplinary force whatever, will probably pass,
aud be used during the next four years by unscru:
pulous Methodist ministers to quiet agitation and
prove that the Church is anti-slavery. Meanwhile
the Methodists on the Border will continue to buy,
sell. breed and hold slaves exactly as beforey"
We have no doubt bat the coming history of the
NJ. =. Church will verify the above prediction,
even if is present history does not, and therefore
We cannot ACRE with a subsequnt number Of the
Standard which characterizes this very action as
