Bust yesverday ne was forced to admit that the facie publistied in the HERALD were obtained from him, aud explained that he has heard statement# dercgatory to Dr. Hugart.

Mr. McDonaid briefly reviewed the discoveries Made by the French, German and Tusean commissions betwi 1822 and 1882—die- coveries that showed tat the Pyramias were bulit 4,000 yeurs before the Coristiau era.
