SINGULAR SERIES OF CASUALTIES ON THE TYNE.—A
singular series 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
coming 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 on the lighter, and the last we heard of her was
that she was impaled there ; and so completed the chap-
ter of accident 4. We have to record that the barque
George Fife,of Newcastle, 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 wben near the
bar, and there being little wind, but a heavy sea rolling
in at the time, she drove on the Herd Sand, and on 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 Bramath (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 Sohelestadt. The excavations some
time since effected in these last-named tumulii, and
which led to the discovery of various articles of great
interest to arcbreologists, induced the Society for
the Preservation of Historical Monuments of Alsace
to make similar researches in thoe of Brumath.
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 31 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
people, who inhabited Alsace 2,000 years ago, always
commenced by a sacrifice to the names of their ancestors.
In the centre of the mound, at a depth of three metres,
a certain quantity of ashes were found, and about 18 in.
lower vestiges of wood mixed with ashes, coal, and

this spot, and all the other signs of ashes; &c, tend to
Drove the religious and funeral character f the. mounds.
Another smaller tumulus was explored, and small bones
and the remnants of a broken ring discovered.
