THE GALVESTON COMMERCIAL AND WEEKLY PRICES CURRENT.

Discovery of the To wer of Babel.
The Syrian correspondent of the Boston Traveller
gives an account ot the reported discovery ol the
Tower ol' Uabel, by Mr. Phi'ie, the French Consul at
Mosul. If this announcement shall prove correct, it
will awuken the utmost inquiry and speculation:—
The substuneo of the information which has just
been circulated relating to the discovery of the
Tower of Babel, I will give ii. few words, expecting
soon to receive fuller details, at the sa ne time re-
marking that the French Consul-General of Beirut,
Mr. Lisseps, has received various curious articles
which were found in the tower, which I hope soon
to see and describe. 1 think my hand, if not my
heart, will fairly tremble, ii once it takes hold of
the shovels, the trowels, and the bods used by
those old masons and builders.
The village of Arbela, so famous in history for
the decisive battle fought near it by Darius and
Alexander, U only a few d.ty's journey from Mosul,
to which Mr. Place, wearied with the monotonous
enthusiasm in search of new discoveries, in a region
celebrated in classical history. On hn way an in
cident occurred, which proves to what a degree
the statements of history respecting the locality are
the simple truth. The escort of Mr. Place dis-
mounted when they reached the field of Arbela, fol-
lowing the example of the Consul who wished to
study the battle-field ; and this he was obliged to
do standing, as Turkish etiquette permits no one
to remain seated in his saddle. Soon, however,
he mounted again, in order to scour the plain, and
the escort did the same, except a single Turk of
enormous proportions, who followed on foot, put'
ting and bathed in sweat. Mr. Place, pitying him
for his sad plight, asked him if he did this because
he preferred walking to riding.
"By no means," replied the Turk ; "but I am
unable to remount my horse, because I need the
help of a stone in order to regain my stirrup, and
who can find a single stone in all the plain of Gingar-
nella ?"
Now it is well known that Darius employed 800,-
000 men for many days in levelling this plain and
in breaking whatever could interpose an obstacle
to his cavalry and chariots of war. In the centre
of the old battle field of Arbela rises a hill of colossal
dimensions, whose object the party vainly conject-
ured, thinking it n ight be a tomb, or a triumphal
monument, or more likely bo h. Unfortunately
they had not time to examine it, nor the appliances
necessary for exploring it.
Passing on, Mr. Place and his party at length
discovered what they believed to be nothing less
than the veritable remains of toe Tower of Babel—
the wonder of wonders, and the grandest spectacle
which the eyes of men can contemplate in this age
uf the world. This proud tower, which was built
in defiance of Heaven, and aimed to pierce the veiy
skies, has lost in the course of ages its cloud-reach-
ing elevation. Six of its eight stories have fallen
and crumbled into dust; but the two which remain
are so high that they may be seen for fifty or sixty
miles around. The base of the tower is quadrangu-
lar, and each side about six hundred feet long.—
The tower is made of bricks of the purest clay and
of a white color, which is a little shaded with a
yellow tint. Under a clear sun, and as a whole,
this ancient monument of human skill and daring
presents a fine blending of colors which sets the
painter's pallet at defiance. Before being baked,
the bneks had been covered with characters traced
with the accuracy of the hand of a writing-master.
Near the top of the letters the straight strokes
were auorned with flourishes resembling the heads
of i.ails. All was neat, regular and severe ; and,
indeed, those who saw these specimens of ancient
calligraphy ufiirm that the fathers of the human
race wrote a better hand than their children.
Prosperity of Ireland.—The London Times of
u lato dato remarks as follows :
The time honored phrase of "poor old Ireland"
may be considered as representing something whioh
has now ecasod to exist. On this 1st of January,
at the commencement of a new year, wo may ven-
ture to predict that "rich young Ireland" will soon
become tiio more appropriate denomination. On
all sides we hear of increasing agriculture, decreas-
ing poor-rates, cessation of political ugitation,good
feeling between landlord and tentant, and other
unmistakeablo ovidencos of rising prosperity.
Salt Making.—Messrs. B. L. Hood and E. P.
Monroe, of Albany, have invented a new method of
conducting tho evaporating process in the salt ma-
nufacture, which the ¡Syracuse Journal endorses as
one that will revolutionize tho business. Ii con-
sists of a rotary evaporator, a cylinder of thin cop-
per with the tire within, rotating moderately, and
kept constantly wet by dipping slightly into the
brine. There are now, by the same authority, 300,-
000 cords of wood consumed annually in tho salt
manufacturo within the limits of Syracuse alone.
Makine Loss ron January.—Tho New York
Courier publishes a list of the vesels lost, missing
and abandoned during the month of January. The
total number of vessels reported lost is 131, of
which 24 were ships, 14 barks, 82 brigs, 59 schooners
• nd 2 sloops. The total value of vessels and cargo,
$3,734,200.
Mr. Donald McKat.—Tho Boston Atlas learns
that all Mr. McKay's creditors except throe or four,
anxious to see him once more actively employed,
have ugree i to take fifteen per cent of their claims
against him, that lie may be able to commence
business without embarasment.
Corns Tho Scientific American says :—The
best euro for those troublesome things that we have
ever tried is to soak tho feet in hot water for a
quarter of an hour, so that the corn becomes solt,
and then trim it off as close as possible, and not
causo pain. Then tako tho tincture of tho Arbor
Vitao placed upon a little eottou and apply to the
corn, and after a few applications tho corn will
not only disai pear entirely, but will not be likely
to return again.
