We lately mentioned. that on Wednesday wet k
the bones of a woman and an infant, with the re-
mains of an elegant female dress, were found by
the workmen employed in the 'Aerations now going
forward in Carlisle Castle. while cutting Innp-hnles

the area of the cattle from the magazine. There
was no coffin, the bones were its a recumbent poe.
tore, and the space no larger than was necessary to
receive the bodies. Among the speculations ac-
counting for the relics, end the extraordinary situa-
tion in which they were fouud, it is stated, that one
of those distinguished soldiers shoat the house of
Musgrave has produced, was Governor of Cat lisle
Castle in the time of the border wars, and that Isis
Lady died iu child-bed. within its walls, during
one of those troubles by which Carlisle so oft's.
suffered. in confirmation of this, it is further
stated. that the remains of one of the female
brooches of that house are not in the family vault.
Should this prove true, we think the question is
fairly mired, particularly if we suppose the bodies
to have been thus disposed in the bustle of war. ise

rocious enemy, who probably would conceive the
remains of a Moscinairs's wife and child as likely
to produce a rummest worthy of attention.

examined the pocket. They were disappointed of
booty from that ; end one of them said in an under
tone to the other, •• As the women is asleep, we will
not hurt her. for the sake of the child." A large
jug of new ale was upon • table. which they drank
off. regretting at the same time that they could not
take the barrel also with them ! After deliberately
ransacking the room, they effected their escape. The
poor woman's situation may be better conceived than
described; she was in dread every moment of being
murdered, and probably would have been. ifthemen

in the chamber above. but were not awakened by
the noise. On the robbers quitting the premises
she gave the alarm, but a pursuit was fruitless.
