MONMOUTHSHIRE.

The town of Abergavenny was lately, for the first time, lighted with gas, upon a new and improved method, recently discovered by the engineer, Mr. S. Broadmeadow. This discovery

Jan. 1,

promises considerable advantage to gas establishments, by superseding the use of the retort and purifier, as the common coke or coal-tar oven answers the purpose of the retort, and the purifier is rendered altogether useless. The quantity of inflammable gas is increased full one third, and, by the action of atmospheric air, rendered perfetly pure and free from sulphur.

YORKSHIRE.

The workmen employed in making the new road from Hunslet to Bellisle, uncovered, in the middle of a field, a stone coffin, about fifteen inches from the surface, containing the remains of a human body. The corpse had been covered with plaster, which, when removed, exhibited a complete cast of the body, and even retained the impression of the linen which had enveloped it; the face appeared to have been covered with a semicircular glassy substance, the skull had perished, but the teeth, which are in excellent preservation, were found on each side of the place which the head had occupied: a considerable number of glass beads of various colours and sizes were also found in the coffin, some of which were perfect and brilliant, but the greatest part of them had become opaque and earthy. The only remains of the body were the thigh, leg, and arm bones. The coffin, which appeared to be of the Bramley Fall stone, was covered with a lid about five inches in thickness. The contents of it were carefully washed, in the hopes of discovering some coin which might have fixed the date of the interment, but without success; but a considerable portion of iron nearly decomposed was found.

An Essay, by Mr. M. Allen of York, was read at the Hall of the Leeds Philosophical and Literary Society, On the natural divisions of Insanity, and on the question how far the mind retains or exhibits its former individuality of character, and how much it is altered, and the kind, and degree, and mode of that alteration ?

SCOTLAND.

A measure of great importance to Glasgow is about to be undertaken by the Duke of Hamilton, and the other coal proprietors on the banks of the Clyde. Application is about to be made to Parliament for an act to render navigable the river as far up as Carmyle. The consequence of this improvement will be a great reduction in the price of coals. The Duke is also at present making a rail-way between Avon Bridge and Quarter, where coal of a superior quality exists in a seam six feet thick, which in consequence of the depth of the bed of the river can be worked by horizontal openings, and the waggons from the rail-way can be filled on the spot. This improvement will be also very beneficial to the town of Hamilton; and Mr. Telford is surveying a railway to connect it with Carmyle.

This statement, when the taxes which were taken off last year are considered, is a most flattering one. The Customs have increased 447,1071.; in the Excise there has been a decrease rather above that amount; the latter, however, principally arises from the remission of taxes and alterations in the Spirit Duties. The Stamp Duties have increased 105,8231. and the Post-office 37,000l. The diminution in the assessed-taxes is 599,1471. which is accounted for by the remission of duties last year. The charge on the consolidated fund for the quarters which have just terminated, will be found in the following items.
