The mummy found in the crypt. of St. Stephen's Chapel was examined on Saturday by a deputation from the Antiquarian Society. Mr. Pettigrew and his son, Dr. W. Pettigrew, performed the operation of "unrolling," or taking off the cere-cloths. A series of five thick canvass cloths was removed from the face, and then a second series which was tied with string, and the- countenance was exposed to view. It was in a remarkable state of preserva- tion. The cartilage of the nose was not atcall decayed, and with the lips and other portions of the face remained perfern flexible to the touch. Even the expression of the countenance was retained. From the body ten layers of canvass were removed. The mass of the mummy had become adipose mat- ter. No writing was found. The mummy seemed from the teeth to be that of a very aged man ; it was 8 feet 11 inches in length. The crozier was of oak, with an elaborately carved crook. It iaeurmised that the corpse is that of Lydwolfe, Bishop of St. David's, who died about the middle of the fifteenth century. After the examination, the remains were placed in an elm coffin and screwed down, to be replaced in or near the spot where they were found.
