late Dr. Ponsonby in the bishopric of Derry and Raphoe,
but, of course, as yet no reliable information has trans-
pired—nothing, in fact, -but the merest speculations
with regard to the claims of sundry candidates whose

Castle-green, Hereford, has recently discovered some
antique earthwork, of a cruciform shape, in a forest
called St. Margaret's-park, in that county, which has
slumbered there for ages unobserved ; and also several
basin-shaped cavities of ancient formation, in the same
locality. With permission of the proprietor he has had
