The workmen employed in repairing’ the 
parish church in Leeds, have found a stone 
coffin, containing a complete skeleton, and 
the bones of two other human subjects, under ” 
the foundation of the church, near the en- 
trance to the bell-chamber. This coffin has 
the appearance of having been cut out of a 
solid block about seven feet long, by a foot 
and a half deep its interior dimensions are 
six feet three inches in length, abcut twelve 
inches deep, and of width sufficient to hold a 
tolerably large figure. From the situation 
in which it was found, it must have lain in 
that place ever since the church was erected, 
probably « above 700 years ; andso completely 
"was the air excluded, that the bones remained 
as firm and entire as if they had been recently 
interred, A Stone, supposed to be the cover,

It has often been remarked, that he 
public roads in the West-riding of Workabire, 
have been more improved within the last 
twenty years, than within any equal period 
in the recollection of the oldest man living. 
In pursvance of this system of improvements 
a new road has been just cut, by way of Ras- 
trick, through the manor and estates of ‘Tho. 
Thornhill, esq. of Fixby, and principally at - 
his expense, that will bring Manchester up- 
wards of eight miles nearer Leeds, and con- 
sequently Hull that distance nearer Liver 
pool, than by the present mail-coach road. 
On Friday the 30th June, a very melancholy 
circumstance occurred in the coal mines of 
Messrs. Lee, Watson, and Co. at East Ards- 
ley, near Wakefield. As a number of men 
and boys were at work in the pits, they 
came in contact, it is supposed, with the 
tunnel of some old pits, lying near, andnotnow 
in use, the water from which rushed through 
an aperture with irresistible impetuosity, 
and almost instantly inundated the pit where 
the people were at work. Three Jads, for- 
tunately ina situation to take the bucket, 
were drawn up without injury; but eleven 
men and three boys were shut up in the sub- 
terraneous abode, for three days and nights, 
consigned, in the imagination of their fami- 
lies and friends, to the mansions of the 
dead: Every exertion was made by engines, 
&c. to drain the pit, in hopes that some 
lives might be saved; and tlie colliers from 
the neighbouring works were unremitting in 
their endeavours to rescue their unfortunate 
fellow-workmen. On Monday, voices were 
heard to ascend from the pits; imagine the 
anxiety of wives, mothers, fathers, and chil- 
dren, all standing at the mouth of the abyss 
anxious to catch the sound of the well- 
known voice of some near and dear felative. 
Two men and two boys, J. Hudson, R. Ken- 
drew, W. Broad, and J. Goodyear, were drawn 
up alive and in health, though they had re- 
mained for three days and nights without rest 
or sustenance, except a little bread which 
Kendrew happened to have in his pocket, 
and which, with unexampled generosity, 
he divided amongst his half-famished com- 
panions, supplying his own wants ‘with a 
quid of tobacco. Nine men (most of them 
leaving families) and one boy perished. 
At Addle, a village about five miles north 
of. Leeds, i isa Roman camp, until lately, very 
entire, being surrounded with a single diich. 
The present occupier wishing to turn the 
ground to some profitable use, has begun to 
level it with the neighbouring fields, and has 
already turned up a considerable number of 
“mill-stones, about half a yard in diameter, 
which from their size, must have been used 
for grinding corn by hand: stones, hollowed 
out in the form of bowls, large enough to 
receive these mill-stones, have also been 
dug up. This appears to have been a =.
