NORTHUMBERLAND AND DURHAM. ' 
WN excavating tle earth to obtain a firm 
foundation for the newCourt-houses forthe 
county of Northumberland, where the half- 
moon battery in Newcastle fermerly stood, 
2 variety of curious discoveries have ats 
made. After the excavation of about thirty 
feet of solid earth, the entrance to an ancient 
well has been found, which will probably, 
when dug, develope some remains of antiqui- 
ty. 
pair of horss, resembling those of a stag, but 
much larger, along with the jaw-bones of the 
animal, were dug out. In the opinion.of an 
eminent natural historian, these bones and 
horns must have belonged to an animal simi- 
lar in size and species to-the American elk. 
in several other parts which have been dug, 
about forty-six feet from the top of the mount, 
a number of large beams of solid oak, perfect- 
iy sound, iying im a variety of directions, as 
if to support the superincumbent bank, have 
been also discovered, all which tie suffi- 
cient grounds to believe, that the -whole 
Mount wasa work of the Romans, for the 
purpose of forming a commanding station, 
when inthis country. ~
