The Tossb or Abraham. The North German Corrapericienlatays: At. a late sitting of the Berlin Aretlfert• logical Society, Captain von Jaamturd, the personal Adjutant of the Crown Prince, gave an interesting account o( a visit paid by his Royal Highness to the aepulehre the Patriarchs - at Hebron, during his late journey to the Hasty and furnished some valuable information sato the interior of the mosque and the tomb bimeath it. According to tradition this is lu xe plum of ground Abraham bought as a burying plate for himself and his chit. dom. This, the oldest monumentin Pal., cane, was deeply venerated by the Is. , m utes, and afterwards by the Turks and I Chriathun. The circular wall, about forty feet in height, beautifully built of hewn. stone. was, ,without doubt, the' work of the Jewish Kings, though it was' afterwards wed by the Hatiometans for the erection of their mosque. Theßrince of Wales was the tint Christian that , obtained persuisaion to enter the building 'Moe the crusaders lost Hebron. Since ' I then several travellers, and among olden the Marquis of Bute, bus stumeeded , ial gaining admittance. No one, however, has been allowed to enter the sepuln Tne Crown Prince was very desirous o doing no, and offered 100 Napoleons d'o for the necessary permission.

The whole space was empty, but at the further end an opening closed by a latticed door, seemed to lead to the inner cave. No masonry was visible on the walls, and there was no sign of the fifteen steps and the pulpit which, according both to Rah• binnical and Arabisn accounts, are to be found in the sepulchre. There an be no doubithat there is an entrance to the cav ivy of the tomb from the mosque, as the Turks promised to lead their visitors into it, and, besides this, only a few written prayers lay scattered on thr door, and so fragments of broken lamps were to be seen r so that these must have been remo ved by the hands of meni A . ddhloi.l Markets by Telegraph nicir Onr.E.mrs, March 17.—Cotton firmer; middling P.:%©22%0; receipts 2742, exporta 14,345, sale. 4800 bales.
