On reaching Constantinople, however, the delays he met with In obtaining the firman Ernmlaud to our Foreln Office too clearly fure- oded his being trested fn the sane manner as Dr. Schliemann, who had been compelled to give up his plan of resuming this scason his ex- cavations ut Hissarllk. Mr, Smith's firtnan was reduced to almost n dead letter, #0 that he has been reluctantly driven to redinnuish his cpt®rprise for the present.

Not- withstanding the “frustration of his main pur~ pose, Mr., Smith has not ;i;onn through the lo- borsand risks of this third serics of Eastern travels for nothing. e has lighted ona_ fresh find of Hamathite inscriptions, of which he bas taken casta, Theso casts, alone with 2,000 mnore or less broken cunclforiu tablets bought from a Bagdad denler, are now on thelr wn{ by sea to tho Britlsh Muscum. Tho lnnfld’l lons_named after thie Clty Hamath, on the River Orontes, are very rarc, and aroof much fmportance for {ho ancient lstory of the East, They are writ- teunln ahleroglyphtc very nnlke those of Egypt, although n some of ihe texts Mr. Dunbar Ticath thinks he can recogulze the roynl rings of Thotmes ~11I. and other conquering Tharaohs. Dr. Birch and othgrs make no doubt that this strange writlng is that of the Kbita, Dby some fdentified with the Iittitesof the Bible. The Egyptian inscriptions prove that tho Khita were scquainted with the art of writing, and that their principal seat was the Orontea Valley. The Hamathite writing has been found 88 fur westward ns Cilicia, where, again, the an- clont geograpliers speak of Lo distFicts, onc on the svn and the other_ Inland, which Dore the namo Kitls or Ketla, Mr, Gladstone s ldenti- fied the Ketclof of Mfi“‘!’ who arc_mentioned Dby Homer, with _the Kbita of tho Leyptian in- seriptions, so that any additlon toour few Kbitan autographs eannot fall to bo welcome.” e ————— The louse of Lords, Londun_Netes.
