TALLOW.—On Saturday the upward tendency of our
market continued, and 49s was the price for tallow on the
spot, with little disposition to sell. To-day a decided ad-
vance has taken place. The trade being compelled to
buy, 49s 6d was first paid for consumption, then 50s 3d for
which brought about a corresponding improvement in
prices for delivery. Our concluding quotations are T.C.

REMARKABLE DISCOVERY.—About a fortnight ago,
as some persons were eltaakg and trenching a piece of
waste ground for a garden at Tynrich, a small Druidical
circle, close upon the highway, was disclosed to the
gaze of the stranger by the removal of masses of
broom and i.ramble that had hitherto concealed it. This
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 au 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 containing 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 labourers,
the whole were broken to pieces, but at the time we
visited the place enough still remained to show that
