ROMAN REMAINS AT HEXHAM.—It has
been disputed by some antiquaries whether the Romans,
in their occupation of the northern portion of England,
availed themselves of the strong natural positions pre-
sented by the site of the town of Hexhatn, for the en-
campment of their troops. The geographical situation of
the place, however, and the,'discovery of Roman stones
and inscriptions at various' periods, in the town and
neighbourhood, leave, in the opinion of others, no doubt
on this subject ; and, to establish the fact that the church
and town of Hexhain are built upon the locality of a
Roman station, a Roman altar was found here and an
inscribed tablet, in 1725, belsides another tablet, cut by
the mason who altered th .i crypt to its present form,
and built it up in the vaults as viii- be found related by
Horsley. 'Within the last' ~iv weeks another inscription
has been discovered in the'tinll of the building which is
raised upon the ruins of e Chapter-house. We are
indebted. to a corresponds' for the following copy of
the inscription, which is evi ,ntly a fragment ;
