SCOTLAND.

CaAm.—While several labourers were em-
ployed in levelling and' improving a piece of
ground on the farm of East Wormistone, in this
parish, they discovered a trench, containing 25
rude atone coffinS, with skeletons in them. The
spot where they were found is in the neighbour-
hood, and within view of the place where the
battle between the Scots, under King. Constan-
tine If., and the Danes, is said to have been
fought in 847, awl, from its being without the
" Dune's Dyke," or entrenchment, (which is
still standing, and almost entire), it Is believed
they are the graves of some of the Scottish chief-
tains who may have been killed in battle. If

this is the case, it is truly surprising their skele-
tons should be found, after such a length of time,
in a state of almost complete preservation. The
coffins were all lying regularly, and the skeletons
divided by only a single stone, which formed
the side of two coffins. The skeletons also were
all lying very regularly in the coffins, except
one, whose head seemed to have been resting on
his breast ; and, upon comparing the bones with
the lengh of the coffin, it is believed the latter
must have been too short for the body put into
it. It has happened often, as in the case re-
marked above, that the body was found too long
for the grave, so much so, that this seems to have
been the general practice. It would be interest-

ing to ascertain the position in which the body
was plucsd in those cases. If the knees merely
were bent, then the bones of the legs ought to
be found intermingled ; if the body had been in
a sitting position, the bones of the upper extre-
tnities should be found huddled together. As
there are still many places where similar discove-
ries are likely to be made, it is to be hoped that
such circumstances will be carefully attended to,
and made public.—(Scotch Paper.)

We regret to learn that the whole of the new
arms commissioned for the Scottish Military and Naval Aca-
demy have gone to the bottom with the Delight smaek.—
(Edmbuigh Courant.)
