TRIOUS DISCOVERY.—As two men were tNging the high mounds on Warley-common, bear Brentwood, they observed before them thlt the earth suddenly gave way, and sunk to a depth of about two feet. Fearful that the day of retributlell had arrived, and the world was again returning to its primitive state, they fled "like dust before the wind." Soon, however, being convinced of their rnista!se, it became evident that terra firma did not forsake them. " Calling all their courage up," they beti3 immediately returned and speedily commenced heaving out the monld, when, to their no small astoninment, they discovered a deep well, encircled with What afterwards appeared to be Roman bricks, " and many therein were human skulls," bones, and pieces of broken ar. mour. Warley-common kliOwn to the historian as a Roman encampment ; It is, therefore, very generally supposed that, as there leas a decisive battle fought thereon, this Well, or hole, has been, no doubt, a place for water in time of emsrgency,but afterwards converted into. a cabin for the dead."  HORRIBLE CASE OF MURDER AND SUPPosen 1N...N1T-v.—About a fortnight since the wife of a labotiret named Padley, residing at Ne' Bolingbrott, was delivered of a child, and a day or two rftcrwards, in the absence of her husband, who was chlployed in the fields, she took the little innocent, atm' threw it on the fire! where it was in a short time Wally consumed. Upon the return of her husband she told him that some strange beggar.woman had been in the house during his absence, and stele tile child. She afterwards, how. ever, varied in her account, and on Friday last confessed the dreadftil Mull. It is strongly suspected that she is deranged, aml females have kept watch by her ever since to prevent her laying violent hands upon herself. Her we,iknos prevents her, for the present, being taken into rustody.—Belfast Northern Whig. We have se'dom had occasion to detail a more horrible or affecting circumstance than the following. An imbecile lad named Henry Wright, son of the keeper of the lock-up house in the village of Sanquhar, having on the even, ing of Thursday last got intoxicated, his father thought proper to confine him in one of the rooms. Next morning the lad, looking through the iron grating of the window, and observing a girl pass with a shovel full of live coal, called to her to give him a light to his pipe ; the girl complied. Whether from accident or intention, a quantity of straw caught fire, and communicating with some beds in the cell, in an instant the whole was in a blaze, and the unfortunate youth was enveloped in the flames. His cries soon led to a discovery of his dreadful situation, but his father being out of the way with the key, all of. Parts to afford him effectual assistance were unavailing. Una. ble to escape from the scorching flames, his arms and head were in vain stretched through the iron grating, while cans of water were thrown upon him from without. When at last his father arrived, he was carried out literally roasted, several parts of his body being entirely consumed. On Tuesday he was still in life, but no hopes are entertained of his recovery.—Ayr Advertiser.
