Some workmen who ate employed pulling down an
outbuilding contiguous to the Roebuck Inn, in Bradford, have
discovered two coffins, containing the relics of two human
beings. The coffins were not buried in the earth, but ha(
been placed in a crevice between two buildings, and then co-
vered with rubbish, which by successive accumulations lisui
reached a considerable height. About six feet below tin
summit of this rubbish, a coffin, two feet in length, was disco-
vered, and still lower, one of much larger dimensions, each of
which contained the bones of a human being, the one of a
child, and the other of a full-grown person. The skeletons
were far from being entire, for in consequence of exposure to
air and water, the process of decomposition would necessarily
be very rapid. No inscription could be traced on the c )ffins
About a yard below the larger coffin, the workmen d'scoverec
a tin cannister, containing nearly 300 ccunterfeit shillings
dated 1818 and 1820, and a button with the Bradford coat
of-arms on. The coins were speedily distributed amongst th(
crowd—one man purchased a hundred for 2s. 6d., observim.
that he would soon make his money by them.— York Courant

The following critique has been given by one o
the guests at the inauguration of the Museum of Versaille•
upon a very remarkable production in one of the galleries
Among the busts of marble observe that young country girl
at once a shepherdess and a warrior; with the face of ;
woman, the heart and arm of a hero. Her attitude is calm
and full of dignified repose. Her noble countenance beam
with courage and hope ; it is impossible better to delineate th
courage of a lion borne within the heart of a woman ; yet th,
artist who has so well understood and embodied the characte'
of the heroic maid of Vaucouleurs (Joan d'Arc) is herself
young girl, who is content with the simple title of Mari,
d'Orleans." It is not generally known that sculpture reckon'
the Princess Marie, daughter of his Majesty, in the number o
its most distinguished votaries.—Galignani.
Two individuals, a woman named Hiron, 48 years
of age, and a mai named Pelletan, aged 42, were tried a
the last Assizes of Tours, under a charge of poisoning. At
adulterous passion, according to the bill of indictment, led t'
the commission of these crimes. Towards the close of las
ye ir the wife of Pelletan and the husband of the woman Hiro'
died within a short period of one another, and it was observe'
that the same symptoms and (the most excruciating) suffer
ings had preceded the death of each. Those circumstance
being made known to the Attorney-General, he caused th•
bodies to be disinterred, and on examination a great quantit.
of cautharides was found in the stomach and intestines of boti
the deceased. Pelletan and the woman Hiron, denounce(
by public opinion as the authors of this double crime, we'
accordingly arrested, and their guilt fully proved on the trial
which lasted two entire days. The Jury returned a verdic
of guilty, with attenuating circumstances in favour of th
woman, who was sentenced to hard labour for life. Pelletar
was capitally convicted and condemned to death.—Gazette cb
Tribunaux.

TAME GROUSE.—The Right Hon. Lord Prudhdt
presented to the Surrey Zoological Gardens, a short time since
a brace of grouse ; they have this season hatched a fine young
brood, which seem remarkably healthy, arid are a source o'
great curiosity to the admiring cockneys, who have very seldon
an opportunity of seeing those birds alive which they so =el
almire on the table.
