DISCOVERY OF ANTIQUITIES.  At Norton, near Malton, a system of town drainage has ust been commenced. The outfall was placed in the Derwent, a few days ago ; and in excavating the men were surprised to find, at the depth of Bft., a hard firm surface, resembling the best macadamised road, but so firmly cemented together that for a considerable time no way could be cut havesthrough etnhi etc. o n roadt Einvut eoendbt, ue aalbl yo u ta 15s e apparently,ci nt i cohance rs owisnas st thhei xec kp river no seesds ta and hdti the ct who large camp at Melton, now generally regarded as the lost station Derventio. This view of the site of the ford here is further strengthened by being immediately opposite the Prtorian gate of the Malton camp. The Bft. of cutting was composed of alluvial deposit, which yielded several coins varying in date from the time of Constantine onstfaonrtdinheatdoc the third William.

The road was exposed for some yards in a southward direction towards a small camp opposite to the Malton one, which has recently been built upon. The drain, on reaching the street, was curved eastward, and all trace of the road was then lost; but a few yards' excavation due east discovered ' a second road, formed at right angles to the first, and of similar materials. This road is yet being cut through, and offers no little opposition to the progress of the works. Fragments of Roman pottery are being constantly turned up, and the road itself is gradually nearing the surface of the present street, being now only three feet below. The road is formed of broken stone and some description of cement, laid upon boulders, and is of almost impenetrable hardness. In Black's Guide to Yorkshire, 1862, a map is given of Roman Malton, showing a road uirnn pa nr 0 eraaos etronr udrai r eocft ipo nt lteomtyh, ea nPdo irtt ui ss pSraelsuutma reids this lriokaedl y ist to identical dceonnt ti icnaul ewti ht hr otuhgehone enmo wa main streetscover eo df , Nwohritcohn .s e e Omns Langton Wold. last week, in making alterations in the rifle range of the lst V.

The first, a dirk ' or small sword, has fallen into the possession of Lieutenant Walker ; the other, a spear head, was sold by the men for old iron, but a reward is offered by the local antiquaries for its recovery. An ancient line of road passes by the place (supposed W be a British trackway, adopted by the Romans), from Malton to Eboracum (York), and by a branch to the great earthworks on the Wolds.  n A----------.=-7tnerican correspondent James is winning fame °n itatclileet :iarto whof murdered Waros:toe for the prosecution ; so ando f i‘a IRco.nt money.em EDWINpHo r oa contemporary says a someyE a. rEa: idzwe i ena s c 8 named rellmer.
