A short time ago the petrified remains of a crocodile's head in high preservation, wanting only the small end of the snout,was found by a poor man at Hawkser Bottoms, near Whitby. Two or three years ago, the same person found the remaining part of the head, including many of the teeth, still exhibiting remains of the enamel with which they were covered. The head has been purchased by Thos. Henderwell, esq. of Scarborough, and the fragment is in the possession of Mr. George Watson, of Whitby. A plan is in agitation to shorten the distance and to avoid all the steep hills between Wakefield and Huddersfield, and from hence to Marsden. If carried into execution, it will materially facilitate the communication with Almondbury as far as Grange Moor. A new pier is about to be erected at Burlington quay. The enlargement of the parish church of Whitby is in a considerable state of forwardness. The number of additional seats will be about 600, one half of which are intended to be free. At Whitby, for the last two years, the poor rates have been 18s. in the pound on two thirds of the rentals. In the neighbouring parish of Ruswarp (which is, in fact, a part of Whitby), the rate is only 6s. in the pound. Whitby is inhabited by persons in trade, while Ruswarp is almost entirely formed of the houses of the opulent.

NEW MONTHLY MAG.-No, 54, At Swansea, Mrs. S. Dixon, 24, wife of Mrs. A. Gronow, wife of W. G. esq. of The foundation stone of a new observatory was lately laid in the vicinity of Edinburgh, on the Calton Hill; a situation peculiarly favourable for astronomical observations. At a late Meeting of the Freeholders of the County of Stirling, it was resolved, to erect a monument on the field of Bannockburn, to commemorate the heroism of Robert Bruce and his followers, in achieving the independence of their country on that peculiarly interesting arena. On June 18th, about seven o'clock in the morning, Mr. Millar, the manager of the coal works belonging to Messrs. Taylors, in the prosecution of his duty, went into the pit; and he and the oversman of the pit, after providing themselves each with a safety lamp, proceeded to examine a part of the mine wrought some time ago, in order to open a door by which to increase the circulation of the air, and they were followed at a little distance by six ordinary colliers. When they had proceeded a considerable way, the lamps indicated the presence of hydrogen. By having confidence in their efficacy, they proceeded until both lamps became ret hot, and then the gas exploded, scorching and tossing them about. The oversman, although severely burnt, escaped with his life, but the manager was found dead, from all appearance suffocated by the choke damp which succeeded the explosion. The colliers escaped with little or no injury, and, with the oversman, got out immediately; but the body of the manager was not found till an hour or two afterwards. The Proclamation for dissolving Parliament, and summoning a new one, to meet on the 4th of August, and also that for electing sixteen Peers of Scotland, on the 24th of July 1811, were read at the Cross, Edinburgh, by the heralds, &c. with the customary formalities.

REPORT IN CHEMISTRY, NATURAL PHILOSOPHY, &c. A new mineral called pargasite has recently been discovered at the village of Ersby, near Abo, in Finland. It is of a green colour, translucent and transparent. Its crystals are of various sizes from an inch downward; the form an octohedron with a rhomboidal base. It is harder than fluor spar, scratches glass, but is scratched by quartz. Specific gravity 3.11. It melts before the blow-pipe into a mass of a pearly white lustre. The following are given as the proportions of its constituents :-- M. Poulletier de la Salle first distinctly noticed the laminated matter which is frequently found in human biliary calculi, and which was afterwards more minutely described by Fourcroy, who thought it similar to adipocire. M. Chevreul has however since found that it differs in some respects from adipocire, especially in not forming a soap with the fixed alkalies, and has proposed to give it the name of cholesterine. Messrs. PELLETIER and CAVENTON have lately observed the action of nitric acid on this substance, and they have found that a new acid, which they have named cholesteric acid, is thus generated. M. LAMPADIUS, in making use of the gas blow-pipe, has found the heat produced by the combustion of oxygen with carburetted hydrogen procured from coal to be more intense than that with pure hydrogen. M. SCHRÖTER, the celebrated astronomer of Lilienthal, has published an account of the comet which appeared in 1811, and from a comparison of his observations on this comet with those made by him on that of 1807, he has deduced some remarkable conclusions. The nucleus of the comet of 1811, the apparent diameter of which was 1' 49", and which, calculating from the distance, must have had a real diameter of 10,900 miles, is supposed by the astronomer to consist of a fluid covering a solid mass. In the centre of this nucleus was seen a second, smaller and more luminous, the apparent diameter of which being 16' 97" gives a real diameter of 1,697 geographical miles. This central part was surrounded by a particular kind of atmosphere, upon which many of its most remarkable variations depended. Besides this it was surrounded by a luminous nebulosity, which always exhibited the same brilliancy in every part of its surface, without any appearance of phases; from which circumstance Mr. S. concludes that this light, being always equable, cannot be the effect of any reflection from the solar light. Two different parts were distinguishable in the head of this comet :-1, a spherical nebulosity of a whitish coloured light, which surrounded the exterior nucleus, and is supposed to depend upon the spontaneous luminousness of the body; 2, the posterior part opposite to the sun, beyond which was extended the double tail; this part was separated from the nucleus by a dark interval equal to half the total diameter of the head of the comet. The apparent diameter of this head was 34' 12", which gives a real diameter of 2,052,000 geographical miles. The greatest apparent length of the tail was 18', equal to 131,852,000 geographical miles. Mr. Schröter conceives it impossible to explain this prodigious extent without admitting that there exists in the space around the sun a subtile matter, susceptible of becoming luminous by the combined influence of the sun and the comet. Independently of the force possessed by comets as masses of matter, he believes them to be endowed with a repulsive and impulsive force, which has some analogy to the electric fluid, and like it acts in different directions.
