Among the latest additions to the Wellington Reran
in Madame Tussaud's establishment, is a new and beau-
Alfa chimney-piece called the Victoria marbles, manu-
factured at the Lady's Guild. It iy an imitation of
mosaic and marble, composed of coloured glass, this
being the first specimen of this elegant art executed in
this country. The inlaid mosaic work represents the
Royal arms and the arinorial bearings of the Great Duke,
suple with various appropriate military emblems in
good taste and admirable execution. This'elegant alt
will be found most valuable in all buildings where costly
ornaments are required.

REMARKABLE DI4COVERY.—Abaut a fortnight ago,
as some persons were clearing and trenching a piece of
waste ground for a garden at Tynrieh, a small Druidical
circle, close upon the highway, was disclosed to the
gaze of the stranger by the removal of masses c.f
broom and bramble that bad hitherto concealed it. TMi
olden temple—if temple it were—is about 18 feet in
diameter, and quite entire, each of its huge stones stand-
ing erect and in its proper place ; but there is an addi-
tional interest attached to it from the fact that,
while digging and levelling the interior, four huge urns,
about two feet in height and one foot in diameter at
the mouth, were exhumed, quite full of calcined bones,
besides three or four stone coffins, formed of thin, un-
shapen slabs, evidently from the adjacent ground, and
likewise coetaining the mortal remains of the an-
cient Caledonians of a pre-historic period. Unfor-
tunately, either from the extreme brittleness of the
urns, or a want of care on the part of the lab curers,
the whole were broken to pieces, but at the tirvnethva,et
visited the place enough still remained to shn,
