FOSSILISED MAMMOTH BONES AT KINGSTON-
uros-TnAutne.—A most WWII/Una discovery was made
the other day, at Kiligiton•upon-Thamee, by bringing to
light a considerable portion of remains, that mast have been
lying in calm repose for many thousand years, namely, the
petrified wawa, or grinders, as well as seine fragments of
the bones, of that stupendous animal, the Mammoth. It
appears that some excavators, employed in digging a trench
to the depth of about twenty feet, in a heretofore undis-
turbed bed of solid gravel, and about two bandied feet from
the margin of the Thames, came upon a quantity of small
fragments of very large bones, In a petrified state, and in
the midst of which were two large and weighty substances,
having the appearance of petrified fungi. On showing these
substances, however, to Dr. Roots, whose residence is close
to the .pot, he at since recognised them es the molars., or
grinders, of the Antediluvian Mammoth, or Blepluar
Pri-
mnginius, and forthwith plated them before his friend, Pro
femur Owen, of the Royal College of Surgeons, who
entirely bore out Dr. Boots's opinion, by °Morelos that they
were most valuable 'penmen' of the grinders of this gigantic
animal, which mast have been above twelve feet in height,
from the portion of the thigh-bone, which was in a good state
of preservation, and about one hundred and fifty years of
age, from the marks remaining visible on the 'swims. Pro-
fessor Owen was likewise of opinion that these valuable re-
mains must have been resting in this same spot for a great
many thousand years, which must be considered only as a
matter of yesterday in the geological age of our planet, and
that but for this accidental disturbance, they might possibly
have continued there during many more such ages yet to
seas. Dr. Roots has placed these truly valuable relics is
the museum of the Royal College of Bargoowe, in Llneoln's-i
inn-fields, where they will be tt.us preserved in safety, fa
future and public observation.

At the Manchester Count Court yesterday, before Robert
Brandt, Esq., the judge, James Augustus Harding, late a
messenger of the Manchester District Court of Bankruptcy,
appeared as a petitioner under the Insolveat Act.
The insolent's total liabilities amounted to 1,3884 of
which rather more than 4501. were stated to be without con-
sideration, sad he set forth, as the causes of insolvency, his

expenses consequeat thereon, as also his suspension from
the orate of messenger at the Bankruptcy Coast by Mr.
Commissioner Jewenett on the Ist February lest. The in-
solvent

ruptcy. and this led to his suspension. Oa the application
of lir. Inhisete, his Honour agreed to an adjournment of

wbetkee an offer could be made to appropriate a portion of
inaelyeat's salary to the payment of creditors, in case he

open-air address. The public curiosity was, bowers,
doomed to disappointment. The bead constable furies
'that such a display by as prominent a polsosie might lead to
a breach of the peace, had written to the rev. domes, res-
questing that he would eletain trona provoking melt a re-
