Stp—.Peshaps the insertion of the following- WHO
interest the curious and 'learned in antiquity. The
fact you may rely upon as stated
Three days ago, some of the labourers on .that part
of the Caledonian Canal which cuts the side of the
hill Ti,rravaio, near Inverness, and close to the old
road leading to Lochness, 'lug up a silver chain,
of double links, in all containing thirty rings—the
thickness of the bars which compose the links is
about that of a man's little linger, and the medium '
diameter of the rings may be a little more than an
inch and a. half ; the chain weighs six pounds, and is
of silver mixed with a small- quantity of alloy,
seemingly of brass or copper. A human skeleton
was found near the chain, and a piece of the same
metal, reseibbhng in shape a bracelet, •but . which
could not. have been intended for that purpose, being
considerably too small.
Inierness is well known to have been the ancient
capital of the Picktish kings, and the forts of Craig ,
Phatrickenear that town, as well as many others, are
supposed to be the retrains of the royal habitations of,
that race.
Those well skilled in antiqUarian research can best
discover the use of this piece of antiquity : it is now'
in the hands of Mr. Stewart, siliersinith, who pur-
chaied it for ten pounds from the persons who found
it. 1 am, your constant Reader,

On Saturday morning last, between four and six,
the counting-house and warehouse of Messrs. Hands
and Woodroole, in Wormwood-street, Bishopsgata-
street, was broken open by forcing the pannels of the
shutters. The locks of the desks in the counting.
house were forced, and Bank-notes and cash taken to
a large amount. Not being able to force open the
lock of the iron-chest, the thieves took it away ; it
contained however nothing but books of accounts,
which were found on Sunday morning in Moorfields.
On Tuesday. night, between six and seven o'clock,
as Thomas Smith, hatter, was returning home along
the limner Bank, and the tide being up and the
water overflowing the bank, near the Pottery, he
missed his way, fell into the river, and was drowned.
His body was found about two hours afterwards,
within a few yards of the place where he fell in: The
Jury sat or. the body nesttlay, and gave their verdict
—Accidental Death.
