There was fately difcovered, in a peat mofs, 
in the parifh of Burgh-by-Sands, the entire 
fkeleton of an animal of the ox kind, much 
larger than any at prefent produced in this 
ifiand. The cores (or infides of the horns) 
which are firmly fixed to the fkull, meafure 13 
inches each in circumference, near the roots, 
The outfide, or horny part, is entirely gone to 
decay. The upper part of the fkeleton was 
about four feet below the furface. The animal 
was lying upon its back. One of the ribs, 
which are very large, had been broxen about 
the middle, but knit together again. The tceth 
were moftly found; one of which (a grinder or 
dens molaris) meafures nearly five inches round. 
It is evident, from the fkull and jaw-bones, 
that from the top of the head to the end of the 
fnout, had not been lefs than two feet fix inches. 
The front of the fkull is near two inches and a 
half thick. One of the fame fpecies was found 
laft year, m a marl pit, near Jedburgh, in 
Scotland.

There is at this time a fifterhood of 25 nuns, 
refiding at St. Helen’s Auckland, in the_ county 
of Durham. They occupy the venerable hall, 
formerly the feat of Francis Carr, Efq. ‘Nothing 
¢an furpais the luxuriance of the fituation, nor 
its fitnefs for the purpofe to which it has been 
lately applied. Thete exiles were fo'ced from 
Douay, by the overwheleve progrefs of the 
French arms, to feek their prefent afylum, in 
the {weet and peaceful fades of Auckland. 
_ The objections which have been latety frarted 
againft the practicability ef canal boats navigar 
ting open rivers, are completely refuted by the 
following fact: A veffel of this defcription, from 
Ferrybridge, Yorkihire, of fifty tons burtheny 
and drawing four feet fix ches water, lately 
entered the river Tyne, delivered her cargo of 
pot-athes at the Glafs-houfes at Lermington, and 
returned laden with coals. The boat was navt- 
gated by two men only ; ; and the mafter declae 
red that he had carried cargoes of corn to London 
and other ports, and fhould not be afraid of 
going to the Baltic, in the fame veffel, in the 
Summer feafon. 
A general meeting of all perfons interefted in 
the navigation of the Tyne, has lately been held 
at Newcaitle. It appeared to the meeting, that 
fome meafures ought Immediately to be adopted, 
for removing the fhoals and fands, and for pre~ 
venting the fame from growing up in future. 
In confequence, it was refolved that a fubferip- 
tion fhould be entered into, and an act of par- 
liament obtained for effe€ting the faid improve 
ments. Mr. Cardonnel, the High Sheriff, was 
in the chair, and a committee has been appointed 
to conduét the bufinefs, confilting “of moft of 
the nobility, country gentlemen, &c. in the 
county.
