As some labourers were letely clearing away the rubbish after the fire, which happened at the Sara- ' cen's Head, Dunstable, in October last, they struck on a quantity of old coins, mostly of silver, but some few of gold. They are generally, if not all, of the reigns of Euwaen VI. &TAMMY'', JAMES I. and CuAucti I. The silver coins appear to be half-crowns, • shillings, and sixpences ; and the gold coins, half guineas and quarter-guineas; they are imperfect round the edges, and many of them appear to have been clipped, but are in other respects in tolerable good preservation. Neither the quantity in mea sure, the number of pieces, nor the value of the coin found, can be ascertained, because the labourers made off with a considerable part of it ; but it is supposed that there was about two quarts. It is con jectured that it was buried teose in the earth, be. cause no remains of any vessel could be found.
