REMAINS OF A SOLDIER FoUND.-We learn that
the workmen engaged in forming the embank-
ment of the Baltimore Central Railroad, on
the Brandywine, near Chadd's Ford, exhumed,
OH Tuesday last, remains supposed to be those
of soldier killed in the memorable battle,
fought there on the 18th of September, 1777.
The bullet which, in all probability, deprived
him of life, was found among his rib bones.
There were, also, large brass belt buckle,
and a number of leaden buttons. From the
latter, we have but little doubt these were the
remains of an English soldier, although they
were found in this county, or on the east side
of the stream-the position occupied by the
Americans. Some of the bones were in
state of tolerable preservation, and, together
with the bullet, buckle and buttons, We're
eagerly appropriated as relics by the work
men, Chester Republican.
RvruRNEp.-Levi Workman, who has been
on a visit to his friends in England, returned
last week highly pleased with his visit to the
land ofhis nativity. Mr.. W. visited most places
of note in passing through England. He says
the CRYSTAL Palace is still visited by immense
throngs, and that the day he spent in viewing
It and the gardens connected whit, upwards
of6O, 900 persons passed through the building.
He also visited the steamer Great Eastern,
and saws it is impossible for any one to form
a correct opinion of her from the accounts of
her published in this country. He spent two
hours in walking over several of her decks,
Int the time was not sufficient to permit him
to see anything like the whole of this immense
experiment in marine architecture.

Hundred. have formed company for the de-
lection of horse thieves, and tile recovery OF
