The Airthrie Whale. No circumflance has occurred for many years fo highly intcrefiing in natural his¬ tory as the difcovery of the fkeleton of the whale, which was found the other day at Airthrie. This gigantic animal, which mult have been one of the largcft of its tribe, was buried in the foft mud of the Forth, and covered over with a thin coat- mgofmnfly fnil, which, by means of of the officers attach") to the biitiQi diamine aid other agricultural improve- deepening a ditch that the workmen f Sir II. Abeicrombie, difcovcrtd the boor The depofition of fo large a body would have led us to expert that fome [W,. protuberance would have mari.edthe (m where it was laid. This was not rjw cafe, however, an uniform flat furfaee c». tended all around, and, if ever its grave was marked by an undulation at all, tim? that almighty levelicr, has cotnplctA worn it out. Since the difcovery of the mammoth bones on the Ohio, wc know of nothing [n natural iiiftory at ail to compare with Unj and to us it is rendered more interelling,a« it proves that an animal, the fpecics of which we prefome we are fiill uuacquaic- ted with, lived th a fituation which could not have been acccfiible to it at any period fince rhe commencement of the Chriftian The fituation where it lay was within a very fhoit diitanceof Dunmyat, that hill which forms fo prominent a feature in the landfcape as viewed from Q^een-llrcct, about fun-fet. It is about a mile from the Forth, and "that many miles above the point at which it becomes a firth ; indeed in its neared neighborhood the river is fo ftiallow as to be fordable at low water, and to this circumflance the direction of a Koman road is to be attributed, which eroded the river at this fpot, and was protected by a camp or fortrefs which wa> efiablifhcd on the north bank of the Forth. Thefe well known circum [lances arc valuable data upoa this occafion, as they afford us indisputable proof of the Forth having flowed at that time in the fjme channel it does now, and alfo that the banks of it mud have been of a folid con¬ fidence, ere they would attempt to lead a road acrofs that part of the country, or cllablifh a fortrefs in the midil of a fwamfih This confolidation we ke.ow to be a proceli of time ; and, at a period when tht indudry or ingenuity of mankind had not yet fuggeded the advantage of draining, we may readily believe that the Romans found them, in refpeft to firmnefs, much in the fame date they now arc ; conicquent- ly it is to fome period, much beyond that of hidory to which the mind rrull wander, in the vain purfuit of forming a cOfljc&DK as to the time when the bafe of the Ocbil Hills was warned by the tide, an 1 3cc«- fible to the inroads, of this monarch of the ocean. The difcovery of thij ikeleton fetl all qucftion upon the fad beyond a doubt.

We learn that fome fingle bones of the fame fpecies have been occafionally found in the dittrict of the Cane of Falkirk-* and we hope to have more information on the fubjeA fhortly ; meantime we may obferve. that the only other fkeleton of the whale t'ibe, found under fimilar citcumllances, that we know of,is one which wad difcover- ed in the alluvial foil of Po. at Caftel Arquato, near Piacci.tino, where the remains of two whales were dug up* Ttai) uM'uudti'^ttpUh.il\%t *Sttt t»iUietnh<oi the Council of Mines at Milan, and were fent there by Ccanharnois, when Viceroy of Italy. One only is in any thine like a date of prefcrvation ; the head and right jaw are entire, feverai of the ribs remain, and 42 articulations of vertebrae, but its lengih is not one third of the Airthrie fkeleton, as it mcafures only 21 feet Two other fkeletons of the Dolphin tribe are exhibited in the fame place—all found in the alluvial foil of the Po. From the appearance of that country, no doubt can be entertained of the fea having once ftood at a much higher level- The enormous quantity and variety of (hells which occur in various places, now removed far inland and far above the prefent level of the Mediterranean, will not permit of a doubt on this head ; but, that level extended fome what beyond the limits of that fea, feems to be fomewhat con¬ firmed by this recent difcovery.
