Lately, on cutting down and levelling the en,
trenchments of the military station at Burghead, t.. 1
the purpose of eatending.the town in that d acct; .
a skeleton was discovered, in a tokrable state of p;.,
servation, and along with it were found- the rt majai
of a sword, which, from its breadth and thicknett,
must have been a two handed one. There were lil.
wise picked up, the head of a spear, and several pieces
of iron, of various shapes, hollowed in the centre, bat
so much corroded by rust as to leave it undetermined
what purpose they were intended for.
The fair of Stobsmuir was held on Tuesday lase,
There was a considerable number of cattle in the
market chiefly lean, which met a rapid sale, at wily
high prices, perhaps 10s. per stone at an aver igc.
Mulch cows sold high, although those exhibited la tla
market we; e in bad -condition.

The following extrtordin:iry circumstance La)
lately taken 'pl ice at an Inn in di! City :
On the evening of the ,say chat Sir FRANCIS BCS4
MIT was liberated from the Tower, Mr. H. an at
torney, supped with some friends at the Inn. Aft:
supper he missed his watch ; and though every pin .
sible search was made for it, it could not be found.
A short time after Mr. H. had an appointment with
a Gentleman in the coffee.roosn of the same Inn,
when the landlord came into the room, and the Gen.
Leman who was. writing letters, asked him the hour
of the day. The landlord took a watch out of his
.pocket, and told him, and then left the room. As
soon as he was gone, Mr. H. with much agitation,
told the Gentleman the circumstance of his losing his
watch—and that the watch the landlord had proda.
ced, he was positive, !I's. it was then planted
to have the landlArd in again, and to make an excuse
to induce hini to,take out the watch Irom his pocket,
which was accordingly done by the Gentleman, who
asked him to lend 'slim his seal, to s..al his letters,
Iwhen, to their great astonishment, the landlord pro.
„ diced another watch. Mr. H. then old I:im he had
lost his watch in his house, wiiere he and his property
.ought to have been protected by him, and that he
had just before taken it from his pocket, though he
had since changed it for another, bi.cause he after-
wards recollected his person; and, unless he produced
his watch he would take him before the Lord Mayor ;
this, after some hesitation and evasive excuse, was
complied with.

Whiat from the farmers, but several vessels laden with Wheat
having arrived from the Baltic, sales were made at a reduction of
about 2s. per qr. front the prices of last Saturday. A ficet of
about 40 vessels coming from the Baltic, and principally laden
with wheat for Leith, Liverpool, and Ireland, has been captured
by the Danes, and carried into Christiansand, *hieb may he ex-
pected to have some effect upon the prices. We had a cousider-
. able further arrival of Rye, and saks are very dull. Oats mat
with a heavy sale to-day, at a decline of about Is, per gr. Very
