In making this latter observrdon.

PLISITITIO who plants trees upon It:s paternal estate, repays a debt to his posterity ultiLlt he owes to his ancestors. _ _ A gentleman whose lands were more extensive than fende, used to plant 1.009 trees. en the birds of every daughter, upon his waste grounds, which were, on an average, worth one pound each on her coming of age ; thus enabling bins to give her a fortune of 1,00151. without any extraordinary economy on his part, the regular thin ning of the trees, at proper seasons, with b?rking, payir , off all the current expenses, besides yielding him a small rent fur the land. In the year I 758, ninety-two fir-trees were plinted upon a piece ut• ground, about three-quarters of an acre in extent. The land was waste and poor ; no extra expense was incurred, and no further attention wits paid to the young trees. In Vim, they were cut doWn, oral yielded ninety tons of timber, then worth 4/. per tun, giving a round sum of 360/., which was equal to a rent of Gl. Its. during the intervening 35 years.

It is, indeed, long to look firrward ; but who is there that does not look so forward ? Who is then , that dues not extend his family hopes much beyond that period? In Yorkshire, very recently, 3,000 oaks were cut down, which yielded the sum of 100,osio/. ; and. as recently in Sornersetslaive, the timber of ass e<tate• of '2,000 acres was refused to ass offer of 30,000/. Evers in Scotland, a piece of ground, not worth so.. per acre fur agricultural purposes, was planted with eye:sinew, and at the end of sixty years the trees fetched such a sum as paid 141. per acre per au num during that long period.

Last week there was discovered in this town, an earthen jar, containing a great number of coins, in a high slate of preservation. This jar was found at a depth of about a foot from the surface of the ground, dose by the Grey Friars' Church-yard. A well-grounded apprehension that the Exchequer, or the " Lord of the Manor" on which the coins were discovered, would lay claim to the treasure, had well nigh deprived the world of the knowledge of the use- ful discovery altogether. The Lord of the Namur, how- i ever, is quite insliffl rent whether they go to the crucible or to the cabinet of the antiquarian. We cannot venture to say so much for the Exehequer—that is, if they can lay their hands upon them. But this will be no easy matter, for wham found boys in the street disposing of awn; fur so much (Sul. we believe) per coin. A gentleman of our acquaintance has, however, with the most laudable anxiety fur their preservation, contrived to secure a cons:derable number of these coins. These we have seen. By far the greater number belong to the reign of the Edwarda, and have hewn coined in London, Lincoln, Canterbury, Bristol, Catubridge, Durham, York, &e. There are none yet dis covered of a later Ii:To than an Elward'y ; and from the cir cumstance of a few Scotch co:tis of Alexander, David, and Robert, among the number, we have reason to believe that these coins must be of the reigns of Edward 1., 11., and 111., who were the contemporaries of Seottish Kings of the former names. Pinkerton tells us, that there is no cer tainty of there being an older Scottish Over penny (anti these arc all silver pennies) than of Alexander 11. who began his reign in 1114 ; and the reigns of Alexander 11. David 11. and Robert 111. with those of their contemporaries Edward 1. 11. and 111. extruded from that date down till about the year 1400. This tire ttttt - stance leads us to suppose that these coins are from 4520 to 611) )eau old. There is a great number of them still to brush up awl examine, which, when dove, may euatble the I intelligent possessor of them still further to clear up their coinage anal antiquity. It is supposed that the jar con mined upwards of 3,000 of these silver pennies ; but from the breaking of the vessel before they were observed, and carting away the mould in which they were funnel, many of them must have been lust. This discovery is highly useful in many respeets ; and we will endeavour to illustrate their value and antiquity to the bust of our ability, when more of them are found and pruperly ar ranged. We may hem again recur to the claims of the Exchequer soul the Lords of the manor, and mention that these claims have quashed for ever the knowledge of many similar discoveries made of late years in this quarter. We know that a few months ago. an old woman found a largy horn in the hollow trunk of a tree in the remote district of Arisaig, fillesl with ancient coins—hut from the fear of Ise. ing deprived of 'bon, slue dulled them out at a trifle each. and thus have they been lost. Some years ago, a like treasure, to an unknown amount, was diseuveled in the old Castle of Urquhart, and were instantly sent to the cru cible, or otherwise disputed of, for the Wile reason. We cannot help regretting this. Wc may mention, at the same time, that the Exchequer very liberally returned to Mr. ' Naughtuni the gold rod fodnd Wile months ago near the Druid's temple at Leys.—ltterrness Courier.

COURT OF RING'S BENCH, Moxaat. 0it.21. Westminster Adjumrned Sittingelkybre Mich. rem. In panto. The four Judges came intoCourta few minutes after ten. bAVir V. i toy's. This was a question arising uponii policy of insurance upon the ship from lJtverlinol to Jamaica, in Iffla. The cargo was insured at Isloyd's ; but a part of that cargo consisted of three horses. The ship arrived safely at her destination, and the cargo MIS safely delivered with the exception of .the three horses, who died in course nt the voyage. The plaintiff - gave due nodes to the defendant, and cltimed the value of the horses. The defendant refused, alleging shut he had not insured against general mortality. The Jury returned a special verdict, finding that the pulley was effected Nam the hones as part of the cargo, that the horses dial in consequence of their breaking down the partitions, and kicking one another when the stste of the weather did not permit their being separated and replaced in security, b u t that there was an usage at Lloyd's, that insurances by death, otherwise than from perils of the sea, must be particularly specified, and paid fur at higher rate of premiiiiii. Mr. PADS argued that the plaintiff was entitled to recover unon this special vertlftt. There were but two points in issue, Vl7.—. I. Whether upon the policy of insurance, Independently of ar.y custom nr wise. at Lloyd's, the plaintif could recover. The affir. melee of this question, he contended, was clearly established by the case of I.riatistire and A litTlltil:, Where " morality " was con. stetted to lie natural death by disease, anti it was therefore ruled, that the exceinion of t• mortality " in the policy did nut except death. at lose by violence, 'rising from the perils of the sea. The 2 d Point was, whether this usage at Lloyd s deprived the plaintiff of his right to recover. To this usage the plaintiff was no party, and he could not therrioro be bound by it. liut, independently cf that cinaunstance, the neatens only excepted mortality, that is death by disease, or naturally arising from the mare charge of situraiiiii at sea. .....
