SOCIETY OF ANTIQUARIES.
The President, Lord Mahon, was in the chair last
night, and after the election of Mr. E. Phillips, of Whit-
more Park, near Coventry, the principal business was
the reading of a letter from Lord Londesborougb, giving
an interesting account of the opening and examination
of various barrows and tumuli near Driffield, Yorkshire.
As usual, skeletons in crouching positions were found,
but only in ono or two instances accompanied by any
objects of curiosity. One of these was a stone spear-
head, and another a singular drinking cup. It may he
doubted whether the latter was of the Celtic period, be-
cause the body with which it was interred was enve-
loped in linen. In one place a tumulus was explored
containing the remains of no fewer than ten or eleven
skeletons; but if anything bad been buried with there
it had disappeared, excepting an armlet of
bone, fastened by two bronze pins, the beads
of which were of gold. The traces of cremation were
evident as regards bodies of the Roman period and subse-
quently. Mr. Caustic sent some brief remarks upon horn
conks, which, in truth, are more common, and of a more
recent date, than many persons imagined. Several ape
cimens of the time of Queen Anne are known, and very
old people can recollect them in use in remote rural dis
:riots, such as some parts of Dorsetshire and Devonshire.
Mr. E. B. Price forwarded to the secretary au account of
two antique gravestones of an abbot, and of a merchant
of the name of •Legge, belonging to the 15th century,
and found in one of our old London churches. Mr.
Wright produced a very remarkable manuscript, viz., the
original diary of Patrick Ruthven, who was concerned in
the Gowrie conppiracy, and who was living in London,
and practising iu the double capacity of physician and
astrologer, at the end of the reign of James L Only one
or two extracts were read from it, and those not of much
interest, the main purpose being to identify the book as
the property of Ruthven. Mr. R. Cole exhibited a
money-changer's box, with scales and weights, of the
time of James I. or Charles I.

MURDER 1N SOMERSETSHIRE.
BATII, DEC. 4,—The inquest upon the body of the
poor fellow George Busb, brutally murdered near Pris-
ton, Somersetshire, as related in yesterday's Sun, was
opened before It. Uphill, Esq., coroner for Somersetshire,
yesterday, and, after some formal evidence adjourned
till Thursday next.
Mr. Hughes, the chief of the Bath police, and two of
the inspectorii, have been indefatigable in their endea-
vours to trace the murderers, and have apprehended
four persons on suspicion of being concerned in the
crime.

Mr. Simmonds, surgeon, on Wednesday examined the
body of the deceased, when two indentations were dis-
covered on the back part of the head, apparently made
by the forked end of a hammer, but on removing the
scalp there was no fracture of the skull. The wound in
the throat, and which must have caused speedy death,
was jagged, as though several attempts had been made;
and there is no doubt that the murder was committed
with some rough-edged instrument—probably with a
hook used for chopping wood. It seems probable, from
the injury in the head, however, that the mardertirs
first attempted to accomplish their purpose by other
means, and failing, or being recognised, cut the poor
fellow's throat.

We learn that the deceased lately became possessed of
some property bequeathed to him by his brother. lie
had also 41. or 51. with him on the day he was murdero.
George Flower, at whose house the deceased lodged, has
been ill, and unable to work for some time, and depends
upon his weekly pay from a sick club. He is also e%13
out patient of the Bath United Hospital, and was lodg-
ing in this city at the timo of the murder. His wile,
however, knew of the money Bush had with him,and frdm
observations made by her, and other circumstances
which came under the knowledge of the police, they, on
Wednesday night, apprehended her on suspicion, as well
as a man named Jacob Windmill, her son in-law, and hie
wife Harriet Windmill, and a man named Stephen Box,
all of whom were said to be at her house together on the
night of the murder.
The four prisoners were this afternoon brought up be-
fore Mr. W. Long (Mayor of Bath), Captain Duff, R.N.
and other county magistrates, at the office of the magic.
