you are convinced of the truthfulness of
fthe different designs, as worked out by
the author of the book.
| He states The Tabernacle was q neat
little movable house of worship, used i'll
the iourneyings through the wilderness,
and had brown goats hair tent for a
roof, (just such as are used in the East at
the present day. and red skins at the
west end these being covered with rams
skins, the wool being on, dyed red. -Four
cubits at the bottom, inside, were draped
with colored curtains, festooned up with
blue loops on gold pins The explana-
Ftion of the Ark and of the Cherubim was
Ihighly Interesting. The Ark was made
of shittem wood, two cubts and half
long, cubit aud a half wide, and a cubit
and half high. 1t was overlaid within
and without with gold, and had four rings,
one at each corner of the sides, through
which slaves were run, in order to enable
its being borne on the shoulders OF the
men who carried it, 'The Cover, or
mercy seat, was made of pure gold, and
on the mercy seat was placed two cheru-
bim of gold.' The descriptions of the
cherubim are not yet completed, as they
are SO often referred to in connection with
the Temple, that presume the lecturer
intends to introduce them more fully into
his subject as he proceeds. A cublt
measure is equal to six hand breadths, or
the distance between the tip of the elbow
and the tip of the longest finger, nearly
II inches of our Measurement. On this
subject, more in my next.
There is great rejoicing in this city,
and no doubt all over the country, at the
news of the recent Union victories. Flags
were flying everywhere in the city, on
hotels, public buildings and private dwell
ings. The ships in our harbor were
gayly decked out in their best bunting,
and salute of one hundred guns was
fired on the Battery and at Madison
Square, at noon on Saturday, in honor of
the success of our arms. The men Of
the great West are fast putting their deeds
of valor on record, and are earning for
themselves an imperishable name for
bravery and daring. All are anxious to
hear of the capture of Fort Donelson, on
the Cumberland river, and the bagging
of Floyd, Pillow, and few other nota
bilities that are supposed to be in that
neighborhood.
There is a good deal of cotton coming
to this side from England. The steam
ship st. George arrived here on Friday
morning, with nearly two thousand bales
on board. 1t is to be hoped that such
shipments will soon cease, now that the
Tennessee and Cumberland rivers are
about to be opened to trade.
There have been several skating carni-
walls on the ice at the Central Park, and
lalso on the ice in the pond of the Wash
ington Club of Brooklyn. Fireworks
and illuminations gave plenty of light to
the skaters, and all enjoyed themselves
highly.
An OK, weighing alive $500 lbs, was
slaughtered in this city on Friday. The
OK was raised by Mr.. Sanderson of
Massachusetts, and is heavier than any
other that had ever been killed before in
this city. The meat was distributed by
a committee amongst the families of the
absent volunteers.
The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, in his
prayer of yesterday morning, alluded fer
vently to the bright shining of the star

throw of the present rebellion. He drew
the attention of the audience to meeting
to be held at the Cooper Institute on next
Thursday night for the benefit of the er

Sherman, at Port Royal. He said that
the slaves remained faithful, but that the
masters had run away. J. M.
