UNDERGROUND JERUSALEx.
An Interesting ExhAbition I'm London.
An interesting exhibition is about to open
in the Dudley Gallery of the Egyptian Hall
in London. The numerous collections OF
the Palestine Exploration in and about Je-
rusalem, with various antique relics from
other parts of the Holy Land, brought
home by Mr. McGregor, the gentleman
who made the recent remarkable voyage In
the canoe Rob Roy upon the waters OF
SYRIA and Palestine, have been arranged for
general inspection. with series OF nearly
three hundred and fifty Photographic views
taken in all parts OF the country. Inc
London Telegraph says:
sIieutenant Warren, as is well known,
has been indusi rfoasly uncovering the very
the Palestine Exploration Society. His
subterranean labors have revealed what
NAV be called stratifed Jewish history
He has gone down ninety feet in one spot;
and. at the corner of the Haram especially,
at the depth of eighty feet, he has disclos-
ed the foundation-stones of the old Temple,
standing upon the living rock, besides
chambers, walls, aqueducts, cisterns,
| and arches, which begin, after incredible
toll, to rangs themselves into an intelli-
! gible plan revealing to us the real Jerusa-
| lem of the past. Those excavations
| have carried back research, indeed, to the
| DAYS preceding Solomon; for in one spot a
watereou.se of masonry has been found
passing under the temple wall itself, and
there are relics in this exhibition which
come from that very place. The bottom
of the Birket Israel, or Pool of Bethesda,
also contributes to the collection, as well
as the wall of 0phal gpd the Tyropeum
| Valley; and at the foot of the southeast
angle of the Great Rampant which now
sustains the mosques OF Omar and Aksa
have been unveiled stones bearing letters
incised with q chisel or painted ia rod.
These have been studied by Mr.. Deutsch,
and declared TO be construction marks of
the Phoenican masons who built the lem l.
pls. The fdc simites of them thus far
| brought home are very much Like the hrst
attempt of a smali boy to make figures
upon his slate; but they are agsarealy OF
of immense antiquity, and no doubt they
represent, as is stated, the actual memo
randa of the stone layers Of Tyre and
Sidon, who took the contract from King
| Solomon to build his temple From SINH
lar mines of archaeological wealth, Lieut..
Warren sends us in this exhibition the va
rious kinds hitherto eyhumed.
| "The treasure-trove is, Of course, of diff
ferent epoehs and varying importance
There is square brick from beneath the hill
of Ophel which is kiln-baked, and comes
from the city as it existed at and before the
time of Christ. By the side of that relic
are deposited three or four balista balls,
roughly shipped out Of stone, and weighing
| from fiys TO fifteen pounds, which were
found in the debris of the Tyropoeum, and
most probably were flung into ihS city by
the besieging army of Titus. Readers of
Josephus will recoliect how Waterman
on the walls of Jerusalem used to look out
for those stone shots, and cry, The white
bolt cometh.' Here they are just as the
baHstarii discharged them; and although
nothing when compared with an Armstrong
shell they must have been awkward things
! to encounter.

shows that the water was artifcially con.
tanned in that receptacle, if, indeed, the
Birlcet Lsrdu be the same. A specimen of
pottery from the Cave of Adullam takes US
away from Jerusalem, and suggest thoughts
at once modern and political; yet, in truth
Saul may himself have used the broken
pipkin.
Lieutenant Warren and his party send
us from the vaults below the arena of the
Great Mosque some fragments of pitchers
and cups which are thought to be true
Phsnician. They are singularly like the
ceramic ware Of the Kabyles in Algeria as
regards color and ornamentation, but the
reds and yellows upon them are the natu-
raj earth dyes of all potters, and the log
enge patterns those also which are the
easiest to make None of the articles are
perfect enough to allow of q Judgment
from their shape, which is surer guide
than pattern in ancient earthen-
Along with these, however, are some very
pretty and neatly finished Iecythi of a
unique form, which, although very simple,
are perfectly true in design, and are rem
dered positively elegant by their correct
shape.
