Ma. JACOB BELL'S BEQUEST.—Thoma who knew
the liberality of the man, and how much good he did in
a quiet unassuming way, will not be eurpriaed to bear,
what he kept a profound euret from even his most
intimate Mende, that he has bequeathed the toot
of hie ;Mum to the nation. Among them are
the following of Landeees'a:— "Tbe Maid and the
Magpie," exhibited kat you at the Royal Academy ; the
celebrated pears of the "Shakes," "The Sleeping Blood-
hound," '• Alexander end Diagenes," " Dignity and lap
pudeuee," end the " Defeat of Ceenue." In additiu to
these there is " The Sackles of • Jew's Holm," by
Charles Leentleser; there are a couple of landscapes in
which Lee mad Sideey Cooper have united their dicta;
there is CrNeirs picture of " The Foundlifng eramined by

Frith, which, however, bee to fulfil certain engagements
with the megraeers before it can appear in the national

Rua Boehm.. Ibis is not the large pieta* of the
" Have Fair" with while everybody is (emitter, but a
smeller edition of It, painted simaltenrously. la every-
thing but size it is • lac SitttiG otitis larger Conrail, and it is
the original flea wbkh the engraving has been made. There
are 13 pictures, and the commission for a fourteenth has
been given to Mr. Frank St me, but what Is the utters of
the subject, end whether any progress has been made in the
work, we are unable to soy. One thing is certain, that the
public have received from Jacob Bell • most valuable gift,
and we may add that the testator has attached no conditions
to the ac ',fence of his legacy. Such a great public benefit
is the doing &emote a life of much public usefulness.— 7isece.
SINGULAR DISCOVERY OF HUMAN REMAINS.—
A few day. &ace u some workmen in the employ of Mr.
W. B. Smith, the eminent contractor of Itactiegate, were
enraged in excavating for • large tank on the premises of
the Deal Om Work., a rudely constructed pine coffin err
discovered about sot feet below the surface. On unable
thin it was found to oxitain • haudeemely formed male
ake'eton, attired in what appeared to be the remains of a naval
aniform, as meek' sure still disooverable on the shoulder
whim an epaulette had at some time been affixed. Conjec-
' tuna are rite as to the probable eircemstennes leading to the
Mereaset of a holy in such a situation, but no sahafactory
solution et the mystery bee ss yet been arrived at. The re-
mains were speedily remove! to • neighbouring burial

implicit confidence in him, are likely to be revere
ail-reran. The liabilities are elated st Interim 60,0001.
and 60.0001., about one half of which are secured;
and the failure will be a heavy blow to many, several
canes baying been raeationed in which patties had
deposited all their money in his hands at beerest, in prefer-
eau to emooying it in other investments. The sheriff is in
