vessels to contain oil , or essences , in religious or domestic use . Under Mount Sion have been found spindle-shaped vessels , small , and possessing the character of " lachrymatories . " Those remains are very puzzling . Among the most ancient

of the number may be noticed a saucer-shaped piece , of good manufacture and perfect glaze , which exactly resembles the articles made in the Punjab to hold camels ' -milk cheese , though it may very well be , for aught we know , the identical

" lordly dish" in which Jael , the wife of Heber the Kenite , brought butter to Sisera—preserved in the temple—or one of the " empties" not returned to the Queen of Sheba after her celebrated visit with so many presents to the spot which is here for the first time laid bare after four

thousand years . The names and positions of the places wherein the articles have been dug , are made intelligible to the uninitiated by a large model and plan of Jerusalem , lent to the committee by Col . Sir H . James , R . E ., F . R . S ., Director

General of the ordinary survey . No catalogue of the exhibition has yet been published , but descriptions from the pen of the assiduous secretary have been placed over most of the articles for the instruction of the visitors . Copies of the photographs ,

we may mention , are on sale by Messrs . Barfclett and Co ., of Yleet-street ; and it is hoped that considerable aid will be given to the labours of the Palestine Exploration by the purchases of the public , who cannot fail to admire them , or to sympathise with the Society's purpose of unfolding the hidden history of Jerusalem .
