The calcareous sand-stone, which is of a green or greyish co-lour: it is moderately hard, anil gives sparks when struck againststeel. It effervesces with acids: when freed from the calcareouscement there remains a very friable mass of fine white sand. 2.The ferruginous sand-stone, which is of a reddish brown : it isopaque and soft, and seldom effervesces with acids: it readily dis-integrates by exposure to the weather. 3. Grit-stone, which rare-ly effervesces with acids, but gives very lively sparks when struckwith the steel. It 'is nOt easily ’decomposed by exposure to the'air. Sand-stone is applied to many important purposes in build-jug; as flag-stones: and the harder kinds ot grit-stone are mademto grindstones, and on account of their infusrbility they are em-ployed for lining furnaces.

This council consisted of 70 senators.The room they met in was a rotunda, half of which was built with-out the temple, and half within; that is, one semicircle was withinthe compass of the temple; the other semicircle was without, forthe senators to sit in; it being unlawful for any one to sit down inthe temple. 1 he Nasi, or prince of the sanhedrim, sat upon athfone at the end ol the hall, having his deputy at his right hand,■md his sub-deputy on his left. The other senators were rangedin order on each side.

They date theestablishment of it from what happened in the wilderness, sometime after the people departed from Sinai, in A. M. 2514. (SeeNumb. xi. 16.) The Lord, therefore, (say the rabbins,) pouredi out Ins Spirit upon these men, who began at that time to prophesy,and have not ceased from that time. The sanhedrim was coiii-: posed of 70 counsellors, or rather 72, six out of each tribe ; andMoses , as president, made up the number 73.
