When the woods were cut down landslips took place, and covered the ruins of Elatea. Ubi Elateia fuit" are squared stones and mouldering walls among the meadows and cornfields of the inhabitants of Drachmani. It is a confused but wide field of ruins. French sank trial shafts in various parts, and everywhere remains of temples and other buildings-but of slight interest-have been met with. Only through a systematic investigation will the ancient Elatea be properly brought to light. The Twenty stadia distant from Elatea, according to Pausanias, was the Temple of Athene Cranæa. The road to it led among the hills and was steep, but still convenient. The temple itself lay upon a moderate height which was steep; all around were porticoes, and between the dwellings of the priests and other servants of the temple. The statue of Athene was a work of the sons of Polycles, Timocles and Timarchides. The goddess was represented ready for combat; upon her shield were the same figures in relief that were to be found on the shield of Athene Parthenos at Athens. So far Pausanias. The temple was laid bare by the French with the most laudable patience, for the excavations were carried on with great difficulty on account of the extreme badness of the road. It cannot be said that all the dependencies of the temple have been laid open. Earthquakes and the ravages of centuries have swept from the hillside a great deal of the building, and what remains is not sufficient to give a clear idea of the structures adjoining the temple. But what can be clearly perceived is the care with which the ancients contrived to place the temple on a secure foundation in spite of the steepness of the slopes. This is excellently exemplified by a very well-preserved fragment of a polygonal stone wall near the entrance to the temple proper, and also by a wall of Poros stone, about 30 m. long, below the entrance. The excavations show that the temple must have been a very beautiful building. It was a Doric temple of Poros stone, measuring, according to the French, 33 10 m. in length and 13 60 m. in breadth. It was, therefore, a trifle larger than the Temple of Athene at Sunium. On its northern side were found the lower portions of ten columns still in situ; several capitals and shafts of columns were discovered among the ruins. The temple must have not only suffered through earthquakes in the Middle Ages, but also from a conflagration, traces of which are visible. Only a very few vestiges of polychromy are to be found in comparison with what is met with in other ancient temples, such as that at Egona. At that of Athene Cranea I saw only the fragment of an epistyle with the stagones on which remains of a red colour were traceable. At a distance of some two mètres from the northern end of the temple are the remains of a door. Originally the temple was supported on its north side by a stone breast work which rose above its level. Of the statue of Athene, who, according to an inscription found among the ruins, derived her name of Cranæa from the name of the hillock, which was styled Cranæ, considerable remains exist. They show that the goddess was arrayed in warlike guise, as Pausanias says. This is the result of a careful investigation of the ruins, which will be set in its true light by the publication of a description of the excavations by M. Paris. M. Paris has caused to be inscribed on a tablet of Poros : Θεὸς τύχαν ἀγαθὰ ν διευθύνοντος Π έτρου Πάριδος ἁ γ αλλικά σχολὰ ἀνέσκαψε τὸ ἱερὸν τα ς Αθάνας Κρανάας. M. Beulé set his countryman the example of this when in 1852 he adorned the Acropolis of Athens with a memorial tablet which was to announce to posterity the discovery of the ancient entrance of the fortress. From the interesting excavations of the French at the Temple of Athene Cranæa and at various spots in ancient Elatea, the local museum at Drachmani has been considerably enriched. Capitals and drums of columns, epistylia, and other architectonic fragments, pieces of sculpture, gravestones, clay jars, lamps, tiles, some bits of works of Christian art, &c., are there. There are plenty of inscriptions. One of the most important of them has been published by M. Paris in the Bulletin de Correspondance Hellénique. It is a fragment of an edict of Diocletian's which fixes the maximum of prices in the Roman Empire. It is in three columns and on grey marble. Not less interesting is an inscription relating to an artist of the name of Xenocrates, the son of Ergophilus. Whether he is the same Xenocrates as the one mentioned by Diogenes Laertius and Pliny as a brassfounder and a writer on works of art is not ascertained. Of terra-cotta figures there have been at the Temple of Athene alone not fewer than six hundred. SPYR. P. LAMBROS. P.S. - M. Moë, the descendant of a French Philhellene who was killed at the battle of Navarino, intends to explore at his own expense the wrecks sunk in the harbour of Pylos, and to present the half of what he finds to the Greek nation and half to the museum at Algiers. According to the journals of Smyrna, in a village some five miles from Ephesus a herdsman has found in a grotto an ancient gospel English traveller is asserted to have offered the sum written on parchment, for which an unnamed of 500l. The parish priest is said, on hearing of the contemplated purchase, to have hastened to take possession of the gospel, which, in obedience to an order of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, is said to have been forwarded to the capital. The gospel is attributed, certainly erroneously, to John the Theologian. The English Consul at Corfu has handed over to the Ionian Library there the books of her Britannic Majesty's former consul, Mr. Deberton, which were bequeathed to the town of Corfu. The director of the Archæological Museum at Corfu, M. Remanos, has received the remains preserved in Corfu of the archæological collections of Mr. Woodhouse, the former Master of the Mint. They consist mainly of inscriptions, vases, &c. Fine-Art Gossip. A PROPOSAL, the existence of which has been an open secret for more than a year and a half, has been carried into effect. The Queen has conferred a baronetcy on Mr. Millais, who, having accepted the distinction, becomes Sir John Everett Millais. WITH much regret we hear that the baronetcy offered to Mr. G. F. Watts has been declined by that distinguished painter. It was hoped that the compliment involved in the offer would have led him to accept it. His motives for declining are characteristic. Abuse of the power of conferring titles has brought them into contempt, but such considerations could not affect the single-minded Academician, who has written to a friend that he could never dream of despising an honour many great men have accepted. "The simple truth is," he says, "that I could not help feeling the incongruity between [the position in view and] my very restricted means. I have a strong sense of the dignity of proportion." With all possible respect we may say that here is the painter's mistake. Those who honour themselves by offering him a compliment, the rareness of which enhances its value, evince thereby, in the strongest manner, their sympathy with Mr. Watts's Representing the nation, which is more art. than the picture-buyers of the hour, they desired to place him on an equality with one who is not only among the best painters of his age, but the most popular, and, probably, the best paid artist in Christendom. What more could a nation do than bracket the two men? Is not Mr. Watts unintentionally yielding to Philistia? He continues: "I should like all who speak upon the subject to understand that I am extremely touched by the compliment to myself, and deeply gratified by the encouragement afforded to others." BENJAMIN WEST declined knighthood because he coveted a baronetcy, and so remained plain Mr. West; Sir George Beaumont inherited his title; Kneller, a baronet, was a Lübecker; Thornhill, by some supposed to have attained the higher grade, held the lower only. Sir John E. Millais is, therefore, the first English painter who has received a baronetcy. It is supposed that, like Mr. Watts, Landseer declined this honour, although had a certain matrimonial arrangement been carried out he would have been made a peer. Probably this is incorrect. Until now the order of baronets has, so far as art is concerned, been adorned only by the late Sir Francis Graham Moon, a highly respectable publisher of prints. WE stated some time ago that the well-known collection of copies of ancient pictures made by, or under the direction of, D. Teniers had been deposited by the Duke of Marlborough with Mr. Davis, and might be seen at the gallery of the latter in Pall Mall. We are now asked to say that the collection is on view at 147, New Bond Street. The proceeds of the exhibition are to be given to a convalescent home. MR. C. T. NEWTON, of the British Museum, has written to the Times to correct what he calls "an inaccurate statement" which "has been published "-that is to say, published in the columns of the Athenæum. He has asked the editor of the Times to be allowed to correct several things we did not state, and he has confirmed several things we did state. Mr. Newton has peculiar views of accuracy. readers may remember that some years ago he wrote to the Times to contradict a statement of ours-given, of course, as "gossip" onlythat he was about to go to Cyprus. Notwithstanding this, the next thing we heard of him was, a very few weeks later, that he had started for Cyprus. Our WE have received from Mr. Stephen Clift, 39, Penywern Road, S. W., one of his "Balneographs," a simple apparatus for maintaining drawing-paper, for any length of time, in a state of dampness suitable for water-colour painting, and ensuring a perfectly even surface throughout the process. For artists who desire to have their paper in this condition the "Balneograph" will undoubtedly be a great help. To amateurs, and, above all, to beginners, it will be still more serviceable. THE town of Wednesbury will receive under the will of the late Mrs. Edwin Richards a handsome collection of pictures and 2,000l. towards the erection of an art gallery, and considerable sums for other purposes. The pictures alone are valued at from 15,000l. to 20,000l. MESSRS. CHRISTIE, MANSON & WOODS sold on the 27th ult. the following pictures: C. Janssens, 'Portrait of Sir Hugh Myddelton,' in black dress, lace ruff and cuffs, 5141.; Brecklencamp, 'Interior of a Kitchen,' with a woman seated, 1521. A DEPUTATION from the Society for Preserving the Memorials of the Dead waited on the Lord Mayor on Tuesday, to urge the claims of the Society for financial support from the Corporation. The Society, which is doing excellent work, is sorely in need of funds. M. BOULANGER, who lately obtained the Médaille du Salon, has been appointed Chef d'Atelier du Peinture in the Ecole des BeauxArts, in the place of M. Hébert, who has taken charge of the French Academy at Rome. THE Courrier de l'Art states that the Musée du Louvre, having obtained a credit of 50,000 francs, bought at the Greau sale, for the department of Greek and Roman antiquities, no fewer than twenty fine bronzes, among which are the famous Leaping (bondissant) Bull; the Boar of Luxembourg, from the Collection Dupré; a charming figure of Mercury, found at Dijon; a statuette of Venus, found at Amiens; the head of a woman inscribed "Suthina"; a figure of Apollo found at Patras; and various other examples, many of which were discovered in France. The Musée of St. Germain has likewise acquired a certain number of similar bronzes, many of which are of exceptional interest as illustrations of the archeology of Gaul. It is announced from Naples that three interesting frescoes have been brought to light in the Via Nolana at Pompeii. The paintings represent banquet scenes, above which are inscriptions purporting to be the conversation of the guests, one of whom would seem to be undergoing in a corner apart the effects produced by the peacock feather which the Roman viveurs usually took with them to luxurious repasts for a well-known purpose.

We gladly give Mr. Manns credit for suppressing the three chords which Sir Michael Costa added at the end of "Thy right hand, O Lord," and also for restoring the correct reading at the close of "He sent a thick darkness"; but he ought not to have stopped there. Other restorations of the text, hardly less and we declare emphatically that a part of those heard at the festival concluded violated both the one an other.

HERR VON HERZOGENBERG has resigned the conductorship of the Leipzig Bach-Verein, and has been succeeded by Herr Hans Sitt. THE late Ferdinand Hiller has bequeathed his letters by will in the following terms: "I desire that my wife give all my collection of letters, forming about thirty bound volumes, either to the Town Library of Cologne or to the Royal Library of Berlin, or to any other similar institution, on condition that none of them is published till after twenty-five years." The collection is said to be of great artistic interest, including correspondence with Cherubini, Mendelssohn, Meyerbeer, and many other eminent musicians. MESSRS. BOOSEY & Co. have just published a 'Table of Musical Pitch,' drawn up by Mr. D. J. Blaikley, which is not only valuable in itself, but especially opportune in connexion with the movement at present on foot for the establishment, if possible, of a uniform pitch. The table, which Mr. Blaikley has based on Mr. A. J. Ellis's History of Musical Pitch,' gives thirtyseven different standards, the oldest being Handel's pitch (1751) and the most recent dating from 1879. An examination of the table shows us that the difference between Handel's pitch and that of the Philharmonic Society in 1874 is about a semitone and a quarter, the modern being, of course, the higher. It further reveals the important fact that nearly the whole of this rise has taken place within the last seventy years, the Philharmonic pitch of 1813 being only 13 of a semitone higher than Handel's. We find also that the present Philharmonic pitch is exactly three-quarters of a semitone higher than the Paris diapason normal of 1859. Whether the difficulties in the way of a final settlement of the pitch can ever be overcome is a question which we cannot discuss here; in any case Mr. Blaikley's table is an interesting and valuable contribution to the discussion.
