Men, battles and sieges. Perh ps the work men are about to raise a stair ter the first time; and .wu watch with eager curici,ity what new event of Assyrian history, or what unknown custom or religious cerernuny,mity be illustrated by the sculpture beneath. Flaying walked aboat one - hundred feet amongst these scattered monuments of an cient history and art, we reach another door -way formed by gigantic winged bulls ,in yellow Limesione. One is still entire but its companion had" fallen, and is broken -into severalPicees—the great human head is at, ow feet. We pass on without turning into the part of the building to which this portal leads Beyond it wee see another winged figure, holding.a graceful flower in its Miff f , and apparently presenting it as - an offering to the winged bitll.' Adjoining .this ,scufptine we Lind eight fine bas-reliefs. There is the king hunting and triumphing over Mellon and the wild bull ; and the siege of the castle, with the battering-ram. We have now reacheff - the end of the hall, and find before us an'e labornte and beautiful sculpture, representing two kings standing Beneath the emblem of the supreme deity, and attended by winged figures. Between 'them is the sacred in front of this bas-relief is the great stone platform upon which, irr days of old, may haye been placed the throne of the Assyrian monaich when he received his captive ene- Mies or his,court iers. To the left of us is a fourth outlet from the hall; formed by another pair of lions. We issue from between them, and find ourselves on the edge of a deep ravine, to the north of which rises hign•above us the lofty pyramid. Figures of captives bearing objects of tribute ear-rings, bracelets, and monkeys, may' ben seen on the walls near this ravine, and two enormous bullit, and two winged figures a. bove fourteen feet high, are lying on its very - • .
