CUMBERLAND.

Early this month, as fome boys at Carlife were playing, one of them by accident difcovered a fmall aperture in the ground, which feemed to communicate with fome unknown paffage. The difcovery was communicated to fome of the neighbouring people, who got a line and plummet, and difcovered a chaẩm, or well, of the depth of 27 feet, 24 of which were water. The proprietor of the ground the day after employed fome workmen to fearch in this curious cavity, and the whole of the pavement being removed, it was perceived that an imperfe&t covering of wood was all that fecured whatever might pafs over it. After emptying the place of the water, a loofe bottom was found, composed of foft clay, mixed with offals of beafts, large bones of animals, &c. and among these were brought up two beautiful facrificial Roman vafes of brafs, with carved handles, which are ornamented with figures, in excellent alto-relief. One of the vases is very perfect, and measures 11 inches in height, and 21 inches in circumference, in the widest part. Their shape is very elegant, tapering in the neck, and they refemble the Etrufcan vafes of the Romans. From the Ryle of the workmanship, they may be confidered to belong to the period between the reigns of Nerva and Marcus Aurelius, the most auspicious period of Roman history after the deftruction of the Republic, But no infeription has

been found along with them to guide the conjectures of the antiquary.

ESSEX.

A short time ago a part of the earth gave way at the Naze, on the coaft of Effex, and difcovered at a confiderable depth from the furface, the skeletons of

an elephant and a buck, near to each other: the bones in a state of great prefervation, and not petrified as it is called, or impregnated with a floury substance in the ftate of foffil. Part of one of the teeth of the elephant, and one of the horns of the deer, we have feen, and the enamel of the former was perfectly unchanged and diftin&t; and the rugged exterior of the latter was unequivocally that of the deer's horn. It is faid that feveral heads of elephants were discovered about the fame fpot. The unchanged condition of these relics tends perhaps to countenance the NEPTUNIAN, rather than the VULCANIC hypothefis of Gro
