•SILKOITLAII Discos-elm—Tv( RILMAISO or lons or GAUNT,
Dues OF LANCASTLI‘...3II Tuesday sennight, as two labourers
were digging in the woods, within a mile of Pontefract,called St.
Thomas's Hill, for liquorice root, their spades came in contact with
some hard substance., and, upon clearing away the soil, about a
I foot below the surface was discovered a 'stoma coin, containing
a human skeleton, the skull of which was lying between the thigh
bones. The labourers, in the hurry of search for valuables, let
the top or lid of the conk fall in, which broke tke thigh bones
into several pieces. They immediately informed their employer
(Mr. Mills, the lord of the mayor, and' late M.P. for that place),
who, on examining the site, along with Kraal hundreds of per-
sons, found the remains to be.those of the highly re.townedJoiin
of Gaunt. #1 Dr. -Hrtar, of celebrity in that neighbourhood,
arriving first at the spot, took away the skull, which was very
perfect, and contained a full set of sound teeth,' perfectly white.
As soon as the bones were esposcd to the air, they crumbled to
pieces. The canto, which is of hewn stone, measured, inside,
sit feet thUr lathes 'in length. There was no inscription on it.
Next week we expect• to be et le to thy forther•particulars of
this interesting circumstance. Our informsat has left with us a
piece of one of the ribs, and some white substances which he
brought away from the collin, and which may seen by the
curious.vo-Cerfide &woof.

Sir FRANCIS BURDETT said that he held isshis
hand three Petitions, complaining of the outrages
exercised against. Mr. Hunt, and praying that the
House would address the Crows to remit the remain-
der of his punishment. - He wished to take that op-
portunity- of stating that it might have been expected
no petty or vexatious copduet would have been re-
sorted to, for the purpose of increasing the severity
of his punishment—at least since the subject had
been discussed in the House, and from the general
feeling that seemed to prevail in his favour ; yet, so
far from that, be had a letter from Mr. Hunt, stating,
withstanding the Commissioners Report, that
no air was admitted into the cells, and that in conse-
quence of the exclusion of sun and air, the cells re-
mined a noxious vapour which rendered it unwhole-
some to inhabit them ; that notwithstanding their re-
commendation that some improvement should be
made, Mr. Hunt stated in his letter that the two vi-
siting Magistrates, Mr. Neiman and Dr. Coniston,
increased the evil by causing a trap-door to be shut,
which Mr. Hardy, the jailer, had opened. He could
not help stating that such conduct on the part of the
visiting Magistrates surprised him, after what had
occurred in that House. He was induced to post-
pone the motion on this subject, for which he had
,given notice for this day, because, on a more minute
examination of the Report of the Commissioners, he
found it to be a question of more importance and
larger dimensions than lie at first thought. Mr.
Hunt had already suffered an infinitely severer pu-
nishment than was intended by the Court of King's
Bench, severe as the sentence of that Court was. He
bad, therefore, hoped that Ministers would have been •
induced to remit the remainder of his punishment.
However, though they had not hitherto thought pro.
per to do it, hewas not without hope that they would
still adopt that course towards this individual which
their own duty, justice to Mr. Hunt, and a respect for
the feelings of the Public, pointed out. But if these
motives would not operate on Ministers, and induce
them to remit the remainder of Mr. Hunt's punish-
ment, he should feel it his duty to act in pursuance
of his notice; and•as there was a call of the House
for the 24th, he would on that day, bring the treat-
mein of Mr. Hunt under its consideration. The
Honourable Baronet then moved that the Petitions
be brought up.
The Petitions were then brought up, and ordered
to be printed. One was from certain inhabitants of
the BOrough of Warwick, the other from the city of
Bath, and the third from Heytesbnry, Wilts.
Sir ROBERT WILSON presented a Petition from
certain inhabitants of Houghton, in the county of
Lancaster, complaining of the abuses which bad crept
into the House of Commons, and praying that these
abuses may be removed by a Reform. It also re-
commended Mr. Hunt as a proper object of mercy.
The petition was brought up, and ordered to be printed.
Mr. P. MOORE presented two Petitions, one from
the city of Coventry, and the other irom Kenilworth,
praying that Mr. Hunt's punishment may be miti-
gated.—. The Petitions were laid on the table, and or-
dered to be printed.
Mr. BENNET presented a Petition from the town
of Liverpool, praying the notice of the House to the
case of Mr. Hunt. He stated that it was signed by
many thousands of the inhabitants, "and by some of
the most opulent and respectable classes. The Hon.
Member presented another Petition, signed by thir.
teen thousand persons, from the town of Stockport,
in the county of Chester, to the same effect.—They
were laid on the table, and ordered to be printed.
REFORM.

Mr. Alderman WOOD said he .held in his hand a
Petition from one of the largest corporate bodies of
the empire, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Livery
of the city of London. He bad the honour of being
chosen the representative—he should say, the un-
worthy reprftentative, of that respectable body to
present this Petition, rather than the wrathy Alder-
man opposite (Sir W. Curtis); who sat oh the Trea-
sury Bench, by which he felt himself well supported ;
because, perhaps, he did not feel so strongly on Re-
form, which was the principal subject of the Petition,
..sisottgb it embraced many other topics. The Peti-
tioners stated they were not in .the habit of pressing
themselves on the.attention &the House, but when
I`,thep •were oppressed in common with others; and
I.when the grievance's. of which they complained al-
