THE CAHIRI . —( To the Editor ofthe Calcutta Englishman . )—Sir : In your paper of the 15 th instant , are some remarks , copied from the Glasgow Herald , regarding the ancient Samo Ibracian deities , the Cahiri , or Dinos Potes , ' the Mighty Ones .

are into Greek character of the GREAT DIVINE NAME Ahea — Ashur — Ahea , —which is translated into English ' I AM THAT I AM . ' The first name Asoiheros is Ahe combined with Ashur . I or Sheen , consisting of three rods , was considered a type of THE TRIUNE DEITY , and being elevated hieroglyphically above the line of the other letter , the word became Ahe-or-s , the r being pronounced before the s . The second name differs from the first , by the insertions of the particle andand the final h

Camillas is the Hebrew Ca mi . il , with a common nominal termination ; and signifies 'Like who God , ' i . e ., ' who Jr . ^ ' ^ 6011 ' ' wherefore , this last name bears reference to the Almighty . The Cahiri , were also called Technites , or ' Artificers , ' because Moses , to whom the Ahea Ashur Ahea , became revealed , was ' the Artificer ' of the Tabernacle , and accordingly the Legislator of the Israelites , with his coadjutors in the work the
