of some consequence when the Roman em- 
ire was in its most flourishing state, for a 
road may be traced through Cookridge to 
Ilkley, another station of the Romans, and 
the foundations of a city near the camp have 
heen clearly ascertained, where a vase many 
fragmefts of urns, statues, and altars, have 
frequently been found, as well as several 
coins of Constantine, and various Roman em- 
perors prior to his reign. About a quarter of 
a mile distant is the church, built of square 
Stones ; it had formerly a singular appear- 
ance ; but a few years ago, whenit was ‘re. . 
paired and beautified,”’ one of the two towers , 
that attracted notice was taken down; at the 
same time che inside was completely re- 
newed, and it is now fitted up in a very neat 
manner. The fine Saxon gateway at the 
entrance, ang a beautiful light ornamented 
arch within the church, fortunately escaped 
any alteration. Inthe vestry are placed two 
monumental stones or altars, lately brought 
trom the Romancamp. Onthe whole, tew 
places are more deserving the attention of the 
antiquary, or appear less to have attracted 
general observation.

LANCASHIRE. 
A few weeks since, Mr. Roscog, of Liver 
pool, received an anonymous letter, with ine 
formation, that six black slaves had been 
throwa into prison by their owner, a 
Portuguese captain, upon alledged actions of | 
debt, butin reality because he found they 
were free on their arrival in England, and 
had hit upon this expedient to detain them 
till his vessel was ready to Sail. Having 
verified the fact, Mr. R. sent a-person to bail 
all the actions. An order was accordingly 
given tor the discharge of the prisoners, when 
it was discovered that the Portuguese captain 
had mustered about 100 of his countrymen 
to seize them by force, on their exit trom 
prison. Application was instantly made to 
the magistrates, who took the captain into 
custody, and bound him to his good beha-
