DISCOVERIES AT WHATLEY.--SOMC time
since we furnished an account of the discovery of a Roman
villa at Whatley, near Frome, Somersetshire. We nor,/
learn from a resident gentleman that many other very in-
teresting discoveries have recently beer. made. In making
some further excavations a small part of a wall has been
laid open ; it is covered with paintings on fine plaster ;
rnilar to that discovered by Mr. Lysons some years since'
at Colesbourne in Gloucestershire. These are believed t°
be the only fragments of the kind hitherto discovered in tbil
island in their original position. The pattern is rudely
executed, but the colours are distinguishable. The
remains of which this room formed a part, are ion'
gined to be the site of a Roman villa, and from the
nature of its construction, its occupier must have been
person of some rank and authority. There have also bel
found on the spot some coins of the Emperors Claucli,u,
and Constantine, a curious bronze spoon, a small brnn-d
animal resembling a goat or sheep, probably a tutelary gfd
of the Romans, a large needle of the same metal, !".0
some fragments of fine pottery, which had been brokdeud
and joined together with molten lead, the parts so men ot
being discovered in that state; its value therefore
of t 10,_ne
have been considerable. The discovery of the coin
