entitled The Battle of Bothwell Brigg. The piece

Sir WALTER SCOTT, Bart: which has been the store-
house of many other dramatic prodoctions.The prose
anti poetry of thiS respet!able and amiable writer
are so well knawn, that it would be a kind of in-
sttlt to his literary reputation to give a derail of
the plot on the present occasion. Three is little de-

ANTIQUITY.—A few weeks ago, a farmer, on
the Carmichael estate, while removing stones front
a piece of barren ground, which had probably re-
mained fur ages untouched, discovered a subter-
ranenus cemetery of great antiquity. The spot
where this cemetery was found, is a stony hill
of no ;;rest height. situated about half a mile
west of Hyndford bridge, on the road that leads
from Lanark to Douglas. On this little emi-
nence, tbree or four stone coffins have lately been
!'!iscovered. They do not differ materially from
some others, Which have been found in dif-
ferent parts of Scotland ; still however it may be
of 'ome use to give a .short descrilv ion of them,
ac tilt:), will serve to elucidate some important
poiT,ts in the customs of our ancestors. In each
of the above instances, the coffin was constructed
of six fi,:t polished stones :—One for the bottom,
nilt on each snit:, one at each end, and the sixth
served for a covering. In one of these coffins,
a small earthen vessel of curious workmanship
was found. On observing it, tie workmen
immediately removed it from the place where,
many centuries ago, it had been deposited ; and
on opening it, they found that it contained a
quantity of brown dust, perhaps the ashes of
souse once famous chief. It will be difficult
deteriuine the exact era of this cemeiry,
though, from the circumstance of the ashes,
(for it is bard to say what eLe this vessel could
;:ontai,t,) we may be certain that it is of con-
'siderable antiquity :, and it is highly probable
that these coffins were, made marry centuries ago,
and deposited in the places where they were lately

PROLOG(TZ TO '',ll-117, TRAGEDY OF VIRGINIM
Poj'arratti at Covent Gaiden lheatte.

BPOhEN BY MISS 3. £OOlll.

(Speaking behind.)
Nay, Mr. FAWCETT, give me leave, I pray—
The audience waits, and I intik have toy way.
(Enters.)
What ! curb a woman's tongue ?—As I'm alive,
The wretch would mar our old prerogative:
Ladies, by very dint of pertinacity,
Have I preierVed the glory of loquacity.

Oh could you gaZe, as lam gazing now,
And see each man behind with gatber'd brow
And clenched hand (though nought my spirit darlik;
Beck'ning, with threats, my presence from the lauipi;
tach, as I broke my way, declar'd how well
71m art could woo you to be peaceable :
One is well robed—a second greatly shines
In the nice balance of east-iron lines—
A third can sing—a fourth can touch yonrtears-:-
A fifth—" I'll see no more"—a fifth appears,
Who bath been once•in Italy, and seen Rome:
In short, there's quite a hnblmb in the Greenroom.
But I, a very woman, careless, light,
Meet idly to your presence this fair night ;
And craving yo!,r sweet pardon, fain would say,
A hind word for the Poet and hia Play.

To-night, no idle nondescript lays waste
The friry, and yet placid bower of Taste;
No story, piled with dark and cumbrous fate,
And words that stagler u: der their own weight;
iut one '.f silent grandeur—simply said,
As thou r,h it were awahen'd from the dead !
It is a tale, made beutizifol by years.
Of pure old Roman sorrow—old in tears!
And those you sited o'er it in childhood, may
Still fall, and fall for sweet Virginia!

Nor Moth a crowned Poet of the age
Cali the sweet spirit from !h' historic page
oil familiar Dii.rnatist spurt
This tragic, ntique web, t^ night—ant one,
An unknown Author, is ,1 sister
Waits in young her fiat of your hand. ,
