Inconvenience, or ekpenee, as it saves fifty times its cost in other
remedies, it is, moreover, the best food for infants and invalids
generally, as it never turns acid on the weakest stomach, nor inter-
feres with a good liberal diet, but imparts a healthy relish for lunch
and dinner, and restores the faculty of digestion, and nervous and
muscular energy to the most enfeebled.

SINGULAR SERIES OF CASUALTIES ON THE TYNE.—A
singular t eries of casualties has occurred within the past
two or three days on the Tyne, one accident treading
on the heels of the other in a remarkable manner. We
have already reported that a barque, the Magna
Charts, struck on the insand in going out of the har-
bour, and broke her back. She was righted, but on
the day following that on which she was raised and got
into dock, a fine barque, the Ellen Moore, shortly after
coining out of the Northumberland Dock, struck on the
ground, and her back is also broken. Craft are being
employed to raise her, but the loss to the underwriters
on these two vessels will be at least 3,000/. On Satur-
day, Pioneer, iron screw steamer, shortly after coming
round Bill Point, from Newcastle, to proceed down the
river to sea, ran over a heavy coal lighter, belonging to
the Walker Iron-works, and sunk her. A brig that
was coming down after the steamer, unfortunately
struck ou the lighter, and the last we heard of her was
that she was impaled there ; and so completed the chap-
ter of accident•n We have to record that the barque
George Fife,ofNewcastle, from Quebec, after surmounting
all the dangers and difficulties of a " fall" voyage across
the Atlantic, is likely to become a wreck, almost within
the port tow which she was destined. On entering the
harbour, in to of a steamer, the rope broke when nearthe
bar, and there being little wind, but a heavy sea rolling
in at the time, 6he drove on the Herd Sand, and en Sun-
day evening there was every prospect that she would
become a total wreck. She is laden with timber.
A number of workmen have been lately employed in
making excavations near Brnmath (Bas-Rhin), among
the tumuli which exist in great numbers in the forest
near that place, and which bear a strong resemblance to
the Celtic tombs scattered over the meadows and a part
of the forest of Schelestadt. The excavations some
time since effected in these last-named tumulii, and
which led to the discovery of various articles of great
interest to archtoologists, induced the Society for
the Preservation of Historical Monuments of Alsace
to make similar researches in those of Brunsath.
The number of those tumuli near the last-named place
amounts in all to 36, but some of them were in 1815
opened and searched by the Austrians in the hope of
finding treasure. The tumulus now chosen for examina-
tion was about 26 metres in diameter by 3i in height.
A trench about 3 metres in width was cut tnrough it,
and on reaching the centre it was clearly discovered that
these mounds were used as places of burial and religious
sacrifices. It is well know that the funerals of the Celtic
sao
people, who inhabited Alsace 2,000 years ago, always

a certain quantity of ashes were found, and about 18 in.
lower vestiges of wood mixed with ashes, coal, and
pieces of bronze. The most interesting discovery, how-
ever, was a Celtic hatchet, long considered as a warlike
weapon, but which now appears to have been only used
in religious ceremonies, and a knife appropriated for
sacrifices. These articles were eaten up with rust and
would no longer hold together, but their presence in
this spot, and all the other signs of ashes, &c., tend to
Drove the religious and funeral character of the
mounds,
Another smaller tumulus was explored, and small bones
and the remnants of a broken ring discovered.
An account was given some weeks back of a young
man named Deguet having been brought to trial before
the Court o f Assizes for having obtained money on bills
of exchange and promissory notes, forged in the name of
of artillery. After the facts of the
