Remains at Durham.—A curious discovery was made last week to the Old Tower or bleep, of Dur ham Castle. which is about to be restored for the purposes of the University.—Arnoogst the rubbish in two rooms of the lower story or Crypt, several bones tif..a whale have been dug out, consisting. as far as yet bound, of about 15 vertabne arid 20. ribs ui one room—and on the opposite side of the Tower, to another room, the lower jaw bones are laid bare. Probably the tremolo. and the other bones are still to be excavated. num a letter written by Bishop Cosin to Ins steward, Mr. M lea Stapylton, dated in London, 20th Julie, 1661, in the possession of the Rev, James Raine, of Durham, the particulars of this discovery are clearly made out, as it there ap pears that this animal being cast on shore near Ems ington, the Bishop ordered the skeleton to be pre pared, and placed in the Old Tower, where - it is nor. , found. From the form of the jaws, 83 they at pros. ent are encloser!, the species is conjectured to be the Great Spermaceti Whale, which has seldom been observed on the British shores, only one, taken in the Furth in Frith, in 1769, being distinctly record ed. A Man's Head Blown Of —On Saturday last an inquest was held on the body of a man who was killed at one ofthe shafts belongingrto the Manches ter and Leeds Railway, at Summit, near Rockdale.

Singular Case of Hanging.—One day last week an extraordinary oecurenee took place in the garden of F. Barchard, Esq., ut Ashcon6e. A hen gold finch was discovered quite dead, suspended Sy the neck with a horse hair, which formed part of Its nest. The hair was in a loop, and the bird, it is supposed, gettir.g its head entangled in it, was thus strangled as in a sprjoge. Adoption of the Peony Postage.—The Mandrels. ter postmaster has received an intimation from the Post•Master.General to make such preparations and arrangements as lie may deem necessary, in order to carry into effect the penny postage. The Coal Trade—A few days since deputations from the coal.ownera of Stal'ordshire,Leicestershirc i , Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, and other counties, possessing upwards of 20 collieries, and dvutations from several canal companies interestea in the car riage, of coals from these and other cJunties to the metropolis, waited upon the Lord Mayor for the pur pose of informing his lordship that meetings had been held in several districts, with the view of aiding in his object of breaking down the combination a mong the coal owners .31 . the north and causing a cunsiant supply of cheap and unexceptionable coals to the London market.—The Lord Mayor said his hopes of complete success were infinitely higher than they were when he commenced operations. A prejudice had crept in against coals brought in from other collieries than those who supplied what were called -hest coals," that the ashes :iroduced from them were injurtous to furniture. He 'had, how ever, tested many samples of coals, and had found that there was no more chist produced by them, than by the Newcastle coals.—The members of the depu tation said, a great number of pits were discharging as fine coals as could he got in Newcastle and at a very . low price, and the reduction of the canal dues would be immediately to the metropolis. The Lord Mayor : There was a meeting at Leicester a few days ago, at which the representatives of the canals came to an unanimous resolution to reduce their tolls from Is. 6d. to id. per ton in some parts of the line, and upon one (trivial alone they have reduced the tonnage from 6d. to 2d. per ton The results tents are to come into 'operation on the Ist of June, and I am . anxious that every one should try • one of each of these coals—Staffordshire, Leices tershire, Dertiyanire, Nottinghamshire, and York shire• .

Rise of Property,-- Among the ns rtances of the rise in the value of property during the last half century we have heard of none more remarkable than the following. The late Sir John Henderson, Bart., of Furdel, in the Bounty of Fife, purchased a field of coal from a small - proprietor, or, in Scottish phrase, bonnet laird, of the name of "Laird Broun," for one hundred pounds. This piece of property, which now belongs to Adintral Sir Phillip Charles Henderson Durham, in virtue of his wile the daugli. ter of Sir John Henderson, was,on the 19th lost. valued at the stun of one hundred and twenty UlOllB - pounds. Dislocation of ille , ..Tow from Yatening.—By far the most singular halm of trim debcripttpu we ever heard ot, occurred in .4yrjmany years ago. A wo man between 60 and 70 years of age. named Gilles. pie, who lived in Townhead, had been so addicted to yawning in Church as to call down the repryof of of the Rev. Dr. Dalrymple upon her for the habit.— At last the failing cured itself, for the pour woman yawned her jaw out of joint. The case was a very obdurate one, as the late Dr. Bone,- Dr. Whiteside, and indeed the whole faculty who attended, could not reduce the dislocation. The singularity ot the case lies•in the soguel. Alter hying moitly. ore soft food, with her jaw dislocated, for a t,welvemonth, the woman again went to church andjetwned her jaw into its place . again ! The incideht smacks a good deal of the ratan who leaped lofty a .cuickset hedge and scratched out his eyes and thhn scratched them but the facts of the case we have stated are beyond dispute.

Discovery of Iron Ore.---We are glad to hear that the Goal Work Company, now carrying on their judi cious and spirited operations upon ihe Talacre °stale, in Flinishire, have discovered a rich body of iron ore, which present. appearances encourage them to Believe may be worked in an open east. The. cir cumstance promises to confer on the neighbourhood of Talacre, advantages similar to those of the cete. heated coal and iron ; distrlcis of Dudley, Wednesbury and Billon. The company is making arrangements for forming a rail-road to a harbour or. the Dee, a bout hallo mile to the east of the point of Ayr, at Sir Edward Mostyn's expense. The line was last week surveyed by an emtpent civil engineer. It is supposed that this discovery will, in conjunction with the i/urrounding, cizal mines, yield to the gener ous proprietor of Talacre no lets a royalty than from ton to nfteen thousand pound a year. - .

Actual measurement' has 43hewn that a single bed contains no less than 44,906,400 (tunic feet of shells ) sufficient to make 10,000,000 ,:tisks of tine. Dr. Jackson has ascertained the' , existence of large quantities of iron . ore, and other minerals highly useful for manufactur ing processes. At a place called Liberty, large beds of granular quartz were found, from which the Doctor made seVeral kinds of glass, and thinks that this valuable article, can be produced of a fineness equal to Bohe mian. If any evidence were wanting of the vast begefits to accrue from the Geological Surveys instituted by various States—among which our.owncomponwesdth has the proud MI == di:itinction of heina one of the foremost—it is to be found in the daily d'evelopernents 'ot mineral and 'other source's of wealth, from which, there is every reason to believe, any expense incurred will be reimbursed a roil, ion fold.-- Richmond.

New Lieu for Light Houses.—Al letter of the 10th ult. from Vrieste, states that a new system of producing light for I%ht•hous es has been invented by trisergeant.major in the.AustrianArtillery, named Selckuosky.— The apparatus consists ofa parabolic mirror, 62 inches by 30, with a 13 inch focus, and the light is produced by a new kind of wax candles invented by M. Selcknosky. It has been tried'under the inspection of the Aus trian Lloyd's Company, ib , the port of Tries te, by being erected on the' mast of a vessel. The light is said to, have illuminated - the whole of the port and the surrounding parts of the town equal to the moon ar full (5); and at the distance of 600 yards the finest writing can be read. A second trial has 'been made in bad weather, and the re-urf was proportionably favorable.--London . 'Nautical Magazine. A slump candidate in Virginia, in the course of his address to the podulace, began to descant on the " silk stocking aristocra cy," whdn one 01 his opponents seized hini by the leg, and lifting . his foot up to popular view, showed that the , orator himself had on silk stockings ! It was done in humor and produced roars of laughter. A physician- advertised that he had remo ved from his old residence to a new house near the church yard, and trusted that his removal would accornudate many of his pa tieats Every one takes care of himself, as the Jackass said when he danced - among the chickens. A man who had a scolding wiftt in answer to an inquiry after her said, she was pretty well in general; only subject at times to a breaking out at the mouth. An Irishman sold a horse, warranted " without fault." The buyer found him stone blind, and complained accordingly. " By my scrwr!" said Pat, " but that's not hisfault, it's only his misfortune sure." It is conceded on all hands that ladies. are fair, and that chickens are fcntyl —that the money market is tight that the morals are loose, and the morning gowns ditto. 3j- The following elegant and well deser ved tribunite the character of FttA.Dicts MAL LORY of Virginia is frofp the pen of Mr. WISE. We extract it from a letter recently written by that gentleman to the late constituents of Mr. Mallory. The picture which it presents is that of what a representative ought to be ; and well may it alarm the fears of true repub licans when such a man is crushed by the co lossal power of the Executive. He is faithfid, because he looked more to his people than to his porgy, and not at ill to the President or to ..ny thing which power and patronage had to bestow. He was no less faithful because distinguished as much for independence ofmind as fur independence of action. He honestly formed his opinions fur himself, alter a diligent search for the truth ;,candidly avowed his own sentiments, and as fearlessly voted those of his ct.;nstitu ents. He was the friend of Reform, the" foe of Corruption, en enemy to a strong and splen did.federal government in any form,"and es pecially to one such as the present party in I power has been and is moulding to its will— a federal government with all Its powers, pat. mar, offices, emoluments, concentered in a corrupt mammoth Executive—the kingly lcurntain of all honor, rule, and dominion flow. ing fast onward, fearfully fast, to the grand gulph of Imperial despotism ! He was in all respects a republican of the strict and stern school—the frieild of the States, the friend of the people—the servant litterally of his district : in all its- local con cerns ever vigilant, active, and.efficient ;and was he not, as I am proud to boast, my per sonal friend,. might add more than to c.im plain that such a man has been sacrificed, to a district adjoining mine, by the colossril in fluence of that very Executive for reason of his very virtues. He did defend the principles inter. eats of the people of his district " in the late struggle with a zeal, ability, and true gal lantry worthy of success; but no wonder that he fell before the power and patronage, and press, I may add, "of the federal gov ernment and the party-sustaining it." Migh tier than he have fallen before that htrgh, de formed, and savage giant, which threarips to overthrow every thing dear to freemen and we, his friends, have still the proud con solation left us, that he' fell with his front to the foe. , He was broken on the political wheel be cause he would not bow the neck or Lund the knee—" be a dog and bay the moon"—be the tool of a tyrant and the trumpeter of his ' Praise..

M. BizDurd idolized him, whom he considered the master of the world. He wouhcliave sacrificed his fortune, wife, chil dren, and his own life, to the slightest wish of the Emperor, and was seen alternately to laugh, weep, groan, jump, chafe, shudder, kneel, caws himself, when speaking of the object of his adoration. Nothing pleased Napoleon so much as this frantic devotedness.

The worthy post. master was completely•bewikiered. Never. theless, all was •soeii bustling ; the horses were put ton, Bizouard's two sons were mounted, and their sire alone, who had also assumed the postillion costume oblige, had not yet ascended his post of honour—the. back of his porteur. Fie stood pensive and serious, close to the impatient Emperor. At length he brightened up, and laughed as lie exclaimed, " =fel, if it make him angry; I shall be angry too," and turning to Napo leon, " I have 'been ten minutes," said he, " thinking how I shouldconvey a request to you, and lam riot the wiser fur it.
