R

foundation for the new Court-houses for the County of Northumberland, where the halfmoon battery in Newcastle formerly stood, a variety of curious discoveries have been made. After the excavation of about thirty feet of solid earth, the entrance to an ancient well has been found, which will probably, when dug, develope some remains of antiquity. Within a few yards of this well, two pair of horns, resembling those of a stag, but much larger, along with the jaw-bones of the animal, were dug out. In the opinion of an eminent natural historian, these bones and horns must have belonged to an animal simi. Yar in size and species to the American elk. In several other parts which have been dug, about forty-six feet from the top of the mount, a number of large beams of solid oak, perfectly sound, lying in a variety of directions, as ito support the superincumbent bank, have been also discovered, all which afford sucient grounds to believe, that the whole mount was a work of the Romans, for the purpose of forming a commanding station, when in this country.

LANCASHIRE.

A dreadful accident occurred on Sunday Feb 12, at the parish-church of Saint Nicholas, in Liverpool. A few minutes before divine service usually begins, and just as the officiating clergyman was entering the church, the key-stone of the tower gave way, and the north-east corner, comprising the north and east walls, with the whole of the spite, came down, and with a tremendous crash broke through the roof, falling along the centre aisle, till it reached near to the communion rails, and in its fail carrying with it the whole peal of six bells, the west gallery, the or, an, and clergyman's reading desk, totally demolishing them, and such seats as it came in contact wito. Not more than from fifteen to twenty adult persons were in zove church at the time, and of these the greater part escaped; but the children of a charity school, who are marched in procession some what earlier than the time of service, had partly entered. The boys following last, all escaped; but a number of the girls, who were either entering the porch, or proceeding up the aisle, were over helmed in a moment beneath the fallink pile. The crash of the steeple, and the piercing shricks of terror which instantly issued from those who had escaped in the church, or were spe tators in the church-yard, immediately brought a laize concourse of people to the spot, who did net cease to make unabated efforts to rescue the unfortunate victims from the falling m sonry, till all the bodies were extricated, notwithstanding the tottering appearance of the remaining part of the tower and roof of the church, which momentarily menaced a second fall. Many instances of hairbreadth deliverance cecurred. All the ringers escaped except one, who was caught in the ruins, and yet was extricated alive by his br-thren. The alarm it is said was hrst given to the ringers, by a stone falling upon the firth bell, which prevented its swing; the men ran out; and a moment did not elapse before the bells, beams, &c. fell to the bottom of the tower, and their escape would have been impossible had not the beitry been upon the ground-flour. The Rev. R. Roughedge, the rector, owes his safety to the circums stance of his entering the church at an unaccustomed door. The Rev. L Pughe, the officiating minister, was prevented from entering by the children of the school who were pressing forward. The teacher, who was killed, had just separated the children to afford him a possige, when a person exclaimed,

For God's sake come na k-He stepped back, and beheld tre pie suxing, and the whole fell in. We sall relate another in. stance almost miraculous. A person mi Martin was seated in his pew: the surrouneing seats were dashed in pieces, and heaped with

LINCOLNSHIRE.

The Tolls on the Witham road, between Lincoln and Boston, which 20 years ago were taken for 3001. have lately been let for S0001.

About five years ago a benevolent institution was established at Lincoln, for the two'foid purpose of assisting poor married lyingin women, and of educating poor girls in such a way as may be the means of their becoming useful members of the community. From an account lately published, it appears that, by lending for the month twelve sets or bundles of necessary linen (which cost about thirty pounds) aided by about 181. ayear given in money, above sixty poor women annually are very considerably relieved. The other and more important object "of this charity, the education of poor girls, is so conducted as to produce more good effect than charity schools generally do; and at a very moderate expense: eighty children are taught to sew, knit, and read, and also receive moral and religious instruction, for about forty guineas a-year. The ladies, managers of this charity, provide cloth, &c. which they cut out for the instruction and employment of the children; and at the Repository Shop the various garments they make are sold, for the benefit of the institution.
