DRAINAGE OF THE METR9POLIS.—Up to last
evening 74 plans for the drainage of the metropolis had
been received at the Metropolitan Court of Sewers. Se-
veral of these have been much abridged in accordance
with the late resolution of the court, but some of the
candidates have intimated to the commissioners that it
is impossible to make their statements shorter, and that
if they are not to be treated as sent they are to be re-
turned to the writers entire.

MYSTERIOUS DISCOVERY OP HUMAN REMAINS.
Considerable sensation was producal yesterday morning,
at Bristol, in consequence of its being rumoured that
some human skeletons had been found under circum-
stances of a mysterious and an unaccountable nature,
buried at a depth of some eight or nine feet beneath the
floor o! a warehouse in Thomas-street. It appears that
the commissioners of pitching and paving are engaged
in making new and enlarged sewers through the princi-
pal streets of the city, and, among others, through
Thomas-street. A tradesman named Graham, who is
the occupant of the warehouse in question, took advan-
tage of the occasion to make an improved drain from his
premises into the sewer; and as the workmen were em •
p'o3ed in the act of carrying out this work they were
surprited at coming upou a human skull embedded in
the earthwork. In a few minutes they came upon other
boner, and in a short time found two other skulls and
the remains, in all, of three human bodies. How they
came to be in the position in which they wore found
remains involved in mystery. There is no reason for
believing that the spot had ever been the site of any
place of sepulture; and, indeed, from the position in
which the skeletons were found, they would not appear
to have been interred in the usual way, but rather to
have been huddled in together without regard to order.
Information of the discovery has been conveyed to the
crawl( r and the police, and an inquest will be held upon
the remains.
