ME ANTIdUITIES IN GUERNSEY. At a I.te Meeting of the Bristol Philosophical and Literary Sociiny. was read a paper communicated to the Society by Mr. Meterier, " On the CrOmlechs, Barrows, And pre-aimed Danish Entrenchments of the Island of Guernsey." Mr. M. stated that the object of his paper was to supply a clue to the antiquary who may honour the island of Guernsey with a visit. " Our earliest accounts of the islands in the English Channel and the Bay of Biscay," says Mr. M. " are of a mytho logical nature. These islands are, however, mentioned as immemorially sacred both by Christian and Hea then writers. Their primitive inhabitants are said-to have been Druids or Druidesses, each island being de dicated to a peculiar deity, or at leist to one of the - ICedeirn, or deified heroes. Some of these islands were indeed singularly calculated to allure and Oe th ose gloomy losers of solitude and repose'; h avi ng but tew accessible points, their precipitous shores_ being girt on almost every side with rocks of trernendous.aspect ris ing abruptly from the sea, or, with their pointed sum mit: concealed under water, running out to a great distance from the shore, and presenting the most formi dable barriers to approach ; the difficulty and danger . of which being increased by the impetuosity of the nu merous currents that flow in the neighbouring straits in continually varying directions. 0 The present object of our attention, the island of Guernsey. one of the small islands in the British Channel, is not the least distinguished for such natural and atilti ins features: towards the south and south west the lead Is high, and full of abrupt precipices; as it ap proaches the coast, it is intersected ist numerous deep chasms and ravines—here the granite clifs assume a picturesque form, amounting almost to sublimity. With the exception of a few small valleys, a continued cliff, or cewas, peolelgs itself over the southern parishes, the wagon, and part of the eastern shores ; hence the de. •oonsination of Haat Pays. But the northern parishes • are lowlands, if we except a few slight elevations called bongoes or knolls ; these parisheslorm k pays-bas. Mr. • • 114., considered that, at a remote period, the thin pope - btionaif these islands consisted chiefly of Britons; and • !soft various historical fragments bearing on the sub , .-jest. he inferred, that even from the 6th to the 10th century the language spoken there was a dialect of the &kW'. *. 41 In some of our ecclesiastical records,* continued Mr. "the honorary title bestowed on the sister isle of Jersey is the Holy Gate; and on Guernsey, the Holy, Blessed, and Fortunate Island—the Monastic Elysium. ..:former island, so late as the close of the 17th •ekri e, Oily, abounded with religious monuments, supposed to beef Gaulish, British, or Danish might : may mot there .dore the latter island lay a fair claim to its proportionate share of csont-lkcltaa, circular temples, giants' graves, .AICC ?, Some specimens do indeed remain, notwithstanding ..the , ravages of time, and the ignorance of ancient stone ,catiett and modern roadnrakers." Mr. Metevier, taking an orderly and accurate coarse touted the island, beginning at Jezbourg, the south-east .litesienity, and proceeding westward, entered into a del ...tailed enumeration and description of its cromlechs, bermes, &c. We lament that our limits permit us to lay berate our readers but a few of his numerous and interesting accounts. " Near the column raised in memory of Sir J. Doyle, considerable ancient entrenchments occur, which re mind us of the huge mounds said to have been thrown up in various places by the piratical Dines for the pro tection of their boats. The manner in which these works are constructed, and the nature of the depreda• tious carried on by these northern corsairs, plainly prove that they must have foimed these works; for the trench is toward the land, and the inner rampart, next the sea, more elevated than that without it—a circumstance shewieg that the enemy expected was from the land', seek Walesa% therefore, could not be of Much use t 6 the, natives, thongh very proper for invaders. A little north ofJerbourg Point, at Moulin-Hoet Bay, a rock; cur ioe'sly • eauenc bee, and encompassed with relics of citculirwalls, overhangs a precipice; another, similar to it; acctirs at Tito) Bay, a little to the west. Of the very ancient religious foundation of Saint (or " Seing,'? as formerly written) close to Saint Bay, there remains now but a ruin, a tradition, and an emphatic mono syllable. It was in this religious retreat that Kluge'', Prillaite of Normandy, and uncle to William the Con• cluesor, was doomed to pass a kilig exile. The limited ikeatry'af these environs is delightful ; verdant cliffs, rising to a majestic glevatien, here and these a solitary rock emerging from the basin, the meadowy slips, 'the setinoth winding paths affordieg :in easy cksceatao the beach; the peatly whiteness of the sand, the sombre tinge 'Of fantastic rock ; all here is calculated to inspire abstraction and repot*. °' In the same parish, near the Forest Main Road, are the remains of an artificial mound, or barrow; it is said di be do'the most'elevated spot in theisland.Sepukhral urns, at - wine telluric period, appear to have been de. !Aileen k; for Mr. M. says that be was told, by a oetietilthle eye witness, of its partial demolition; that ft*kithils of strange old pitchers, and huge stone slabs, • lied been foetid within it. In insular records, and in tfie neighbeuthood, the barrow is called La Hougue Ifiltelay: a !topic, or boag. being a blunt earthen pyramid. The obsolete "ho,"or 44 bow," of the county , of Norfolk is, according to Do Cange, the boghia, or Itilkickiate base Latin of out Hiugue (Hoog), so corno trithein old English documents, signifies a mound, ot tumulds. Though it was usual for the Danish Chief.; tailialo be buried in a as How,* yet from the very ele vated situation of La,Hougue Hasteney, it is most pro bibbahltt, tlltt dietatalonian Atalayes or Speen'n, it was used for'Matingaignals by fire. We know that the telegraidif4'iyitiriation of these earthen mounds h at least 'as ancient as Homer. La Hengist Fonque, pro bably Euko's barrow, ;in St. Saviour's parish, differs little in sittiatiou or form from that just described.

NEWCASTLE, JANUARY 1. About four o'clock on Sunday morning, the shop of Mr. Gray, draper. Union-street, North Shields, was dis covered to be on fire. Mr. Storey, butcher, who sleeps in the room above the shop, felt the smell of burning, and instantly gave the alarm, wten, by prompt exer tions, the fire was got under, but not before a consider- able quantity of goods was destroyed. The accident originated-in some cloth being left too near a small stove kept in the back part of the shop. Yesterday morning a fire was discovered in the office of Mr. Allanson, broker, of the Broid Chare, in thi., town. During the whole of Sundriy, the persons living above the offic* were kept in alarm by the mien of burning. It appears that 'a large bag of tow had been left by Mr. Allanson on a dresser, when he quitted the premises on Saturday. This is represented-to hive Ig nited by its own heat, and from the confined space of the office, kept smudging till Monday morning, when, on the door being opened, it burst into a lime. The fire was very speedily extinguished, and the damage done is very trifling. ; SPORTING INT ELLIGENCE. HUNTING.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL Yesterday a seat, bustling, rather fashionably-dressed peewits with a highly-cultivated sod very redindant dark . Titus crop on his cranium—was placed at the bar, sto the prosecution of one Mr. Carpenter, who mounted the witness - box with a manifest de termi nation to be extremely ample in sheering cause why he bad given the Titus cropped Gentleman into the custody of the law. " My name is William Carpenter," said be, " and I am a pastry cook and confectioner • and I occupy two houses, No. 145 and 155, is Fleet.street ; at both of which I carry on the pastry and confec- tionary business; but I reside at No. 155." Now, unfortunately for Mr. Carpenter's penchant for amplifica tion, the Sitting Magistrate was Mr. Alderman Baowe, who, of the Magistrates in London, is the least inclined to accept of any man's " tediousness;" and, therefore, when Mr. Carpenter had just got to No. 155, fur the second time only, the worthy Alderman cut hint short with a— " What charge have you to make against the prisoner?" ' Swindling—and imposition—and trying to defraud me," Mr. Carpenter. Don't tell me what he has been trying to do—but what he has ne "said the Alderman. " On the nineteenth day of December, about two o'clock in the afternvon—or it might be a quarter past two," continued the parti cular Alr. Carpenter, " I was standing behind my counter, at Ni 155, talking to 31r. Goodenough, who first opened the Metropel tan Bread Company's warehouse in Fleet-st. and he was telling me' " Never millet what he was telling you—tell me what the prisoner did," said the Alderman. " Well, Sir," continued Mr. Carpenter, " the prisoner came while we were talking ; and, pretending to recollect Mr. Good enough, he asked Mr. Goodenough—' Pray, Sir, can you tell re what is become of Mr. White, who took to the Metropolitan after you?'--' Oh yes,' said Mr. Go odenough, he's gone to the Bench.' ' Whew ! Dear ate !' said the prisoner. " Don't tell me about Dear red—come to the point," said the Alderman. " I am come to the poin‘Sir," replied Mr. Carpenter, who evi dently took these repeated interruptions very unkindly—" I 7 come to the point, Sir; for the prisoner said be had lost more than 11001. by Mr. White, and Mr. Goodenough said • " We have had quite enough of Mr. Goodenough," said the Al derman ; do tell us what the prisoner has done."

Ibis Was a question which Mr. Carpenter could not auswe. aid thefefore he. charge fell to the ground—the Alderman observe .ing.a..o I don't know how you may tone sew notions of respectabh. lity, Mr. Carpenter; _ but if any man was to oiler to sell me seven hundied oranges at half their value, I should.deem . him any thing but respectable. " " But, your Worship, hidid not sell them to me!" said Mr. Can penter ; " and, besides, there are many other charges against him." Another pastry cook now carne-forWard, and said the prisoner had ordered Leo worth of tarts, cheesecakes&e. from him, and they were packed up according to his order,but he never called for them alike pritnised to do; and consequently they were become stale be for nothing but to be sold at hair price to chimney sweeps. Mr. Nelson, a livery stable keeper, in Fetter-lane, also preferred a charge against the prisoner, of having hired a horse and gig of bin' and sending them back without paying for the use of them. But as neither of these charges came within the cognizance Magistrate, the prisoner was discharged without being put upon defence. ' re pita IS BOW-STREET.
