NTI Q Ul7ll ES.

A few days since a large oblong British or Danish
Barrow was opened in the Parish of Duntesbournts
Abbots, in Gloucestershire.; in which was founds
Kistraen or Cromlech, containing abouee;ght ornine
bodies of different ages, many of the bones of which,
and the teeth, were entire. The whole length of
the Barrow, diagonally, was' about fifty .yards ;
straight over the stones about forty ; the width
about thirty yards; and the distance between the
two great stones, twenty-four feet. The Barrow
was composed of loose quarry-stones, laid in strata
near the great stones, and brought from a distance.
The largest stone, which has been long known in
the country by the name of the Hare-stone, is of
the kind of Grey Withers, or Stone-Henge : it is
flat on the East side, and round on the side which
is in the Barrow ; is twelve feet high from the base,
and fifteen in. circumference. The other stone lies
almost flat on the ground, and is about three yards
square, and one foot thick. This covers the Kilraen
which contains the bones, and which is divided
ihto two cells, about four feet square each, and six
deep. There is little doubt of its being British ;
and it may be called the early Altar, or Family
monument. There are several other Barrows in
the neighbourhood ; and it is singular that the farm
adjoining is called Tack Barrows, probably a cor-
ruption or abbreviation of some other name. The
bones are re-buried ; but the Barrow and the Tomb
will be left open some time longer, for the inspec-
tion of the Curious.

Farm or Forrif.—=-A work, in the highest degree
curious and important, is now under contemplation.
It is a tunnel, or subterr4neous communication, under
the Flith of F►rth ! to be formed at a little distance
from Queen's-ferry. The distance from shore to
shore is about two miles !r—The capital required will
be atleast 160,0601. and the work will require four
years to be executed !—Cumberland Citron.

The above, as a proje&, compared to the intended
tunnel under the Thames, is as " Ossa to a wart."
Of the expence estimated, and interval of time le-
quired; it is fair to observe, they are both less than
the expence of, and time occupied in ereding West-
minster Bridge over the River Thames.
