The attention is, it is said, at present cosigned to sitiking off Ptieitocct's name from the die. It is eight to inform our readers. that this invstissg name occupied at full length, on the obverse, the plain un der the Kist's bend, and was repeated on i lie reverse, I. the pint called the more,. which is the lower part of the circle that is cut off or divided from the rest Of des !fold; imiteti'mei foe the purpose .of re. cording the Jett bet in the. principal Greek and Homo coins an d medals. for the purpose of insert - - log the whorl of she &lei Where the ruins were week. ?or a succession of !votaries the Kama or she cities were gives at fell length, but the initials only were afterwards sbbetittited. The pewee of diteingulsheil Magistrates were sometimes used, soil tower* the decline cf the Romeo Consusnamealth the ambition. of Mint Masters instigated them to record their own names, and often the heeds of souse illustriess persona from whotn they claimed descent. Bet this ambition was checked, and the practice of coining in honour of themselves, instead of the State, was discoutiuoed. It was revived in modern times, bat to a less extent in England than in any other country. One of the articles of high truisms drawn up against Cardinal %Petits , was, that he, even is the plenitude of hie arbitrary power, tiered to issue a coin with the type of a Cordit.sl's hat. The poeml practice hes been for our Mint Worker to lard his initial, hot on a Conspicuous part of the•oeio, bet in some concealed corner only discoverable by a microscopic eye. where it re. attained as a sort of recorded Mint mark of the genuine coin. Mr. WELLSsLEY POLL lest yeor gave us his triple initials, sod braved the public damn, which they excited. It was said of the Ise Lord Causisoao, that when the House of Umuniens expelled Mr. Hoses TOOK; who at for Ilis Borough, bemuse be had once been in order?. hi exclaimed, that if the block clothes of his friend the Parson so frightened them. he wadi, try, as the owner of the Borough, vault the House would bay to his black mos, Tees, as a Member. Las the same pod spirit of contradiction. we sup pose, the Mister of the Mint determioed. that as the public had resumed to object to the introduc tion of 'ilir sten mask so the coinage of the realm, he would try what they would say to the fall /corgi/ Must or Ibe Italian Artist he employed 4)11 the •ork. He had, we know. • precedeot (by no . MOW a uniform one) for this also—it is one drawn from France; se that with the Italian's example, and the French precedrist. John 801 l is amply re mounded for the salary or 4,0001. a year he pays to the Muter of the Mint, independent of the col lateral expenses which the boughog hi the hew to nap occasioned. Pistaucces name is now. it seems, to be erased. but this will only remov e 1014‘ of the objections we ti tertain to the winkinaioliiii of the die, and we sincerely hops the present opportunity will not be lost, of re-considering both its deign end work manship—both of whirls are. we !batik. unworthy of the character of the country. and particularly .0 of the closing reign of a Monarch. who was the Foinder of our Royal Academy, and the steady J'atroli oldie Fine Arts duns% • very long sod sc ore life. As Pisravecs's name ts disposed of, we shall tura to the executiou of this coiw. The obverse of the new Crown piece bears a heed in profile, intended to be a likeness of our revered Sovereign, whose MUDS and titles surround it. The style of the head is certainly good, but it wants the important end uecesaary correctness of being a proper likeness of the King—it does uot. indeed, degrade the contour or lineaments of the• royal visage. as the first Half-crown piece did, the dn. if which was ern:minds broken (we hops rill the, wheel), lout it gives Der gracioaa Sovereign a broad mad fleshy nose, and • thick mid unseemly upper lip, which beer bat a very imperfect, if any. re sembhince In the original. The beck part of the head ii worked with greet tare, lint we think with rndiaste. bud worse effeet-wthe wreath is almost fiat, and seems rather inserted iu the hair than en. circling it; the twat principal curls which decorate the brow, look More like lonic ornaments one m a r. We column than ringlets of heir on the human head. We have hitherto adverted le the Averse ride of the new Crown piece. The reverse has a represents. lion of St. George and the Devon, surrounded by au inscription of the motto of the Garter. There is certainly great spirit and energy in the figures of the /mese and Knight. The hone is really boleti. ful, and both in action and figure is • fine study from the Elgin Marble., and the inimitable cast in the Mews Gallery. The anatomical parts are forci bly and eurrectly delineated, and with sufficient rigour and energy. But the cloak of the Knight looks more like a leaden cast than the impression which ought to be made by a well-executed die; it has more of a feu-like stiffness in the folds, then of that soft end grecefol flowing which the drapery required. The hair is also detached from the beck of the helmet: it emits by itself, and is oncost nected with eny object. We are told that the helmets of the Guard. are about to uurlergo an alienation, aml that they are to be lopped of their horse-hair tails. Perhaps the Master ill the Mint, es he seems armed with unlimited power, has first tried the exprrimegt on the coin, before the regioneritel tailor is call4J upon to give teal effect to the propertied alteration. These errors in the Minute earn of the drapery are, however, nothing, when conaprired to the dragon ever which this nu- Ille Grecian hers* is so unworthily employed. We do not know whether the Master of the ()rd. stance furn.shed the model for this dragon from the fount in which be formed the noodoserild animal that bears the Cadiz snorter in the Park. but we do kriuw that in nroportions would bailie all at tempts to give a correct delineation of any thing to which we attach the notion of shape or &atone.— The neck is no bigger than that of a snake, and coiled in the saute Mousier; it hears, in point of rise, no proportion to the form of the body, which is iu itself iuleed little better then a shapeless mars. The effect of the fine appearance of the horse on the flew of the cnin, is almost Spoiled by the un seemly ground which this shapeless dragon makes. We regret that any thing should have occurred on the revere, to have spoiled the effect or de. eidedly the brat'part of the Artier! labours. The letters which form the inscription on the rim are large, and brought up so even with the edge of the plane, or field of the coin. that the least variation in the horizontal situation of the piece, 'while under.. going the process of the work, call in upon the tops cud bottoms of the letters on the rim, and ac. twiny obliterates their markings. The new piece is also without p raised edge—it has souse canes marginal drutiugei which farm circular rays round each side of the coin as is the old guineas. The want of this raised edge exposes the entire im pression ou the face of the coin to incessant friction ; it Must.' therefore, while in the course of circulatioui n o t Only b:colge deteriorated in its itotriusiie relic. but any historical record whieli the ialspression may be calculated to con. vey, must inevitably he obliterated. We feel no anxiety about the latter effect. as the obverse is not a correct likeness, and because we think the lettod of St. George' inal4ke Lhagoa a bad sot:4l4ow for the richer". of the ibeyal anao. If the testa had grown too common in the eyes of the Master of the Mint, why nit resort to sere device ',lnch would be typical of the national character. Was our modern history (arid would Walt.tietw Nix admit it!) less deficient than that of Greece end More (whose achiereuseuts decorate their coins) in the glory of its recordet.-end bad we no actions like thaw en the National Medals now in progress, and priacipolly too by Englinh Artists. that were suitable for the type of a new coinage ? If a general device, characteristic of our country. were nectirrary, it might here been had without pettiug to she risk of exhaustion the invent five powers of either WELeasextr Poo` or canto. There is, if we mistake not, in a collection of !tomato medals extant, one struck after the Ro mans were in England, in which Great Britain. be ing an isle. it represented leaning on a rudder, and with the prow of a ship appearing at her fret. Some such national emblem of udr maritime character would better suit the taste sad station of the times them the device of St. George and the Dragon, which corresponds with our history exactly as much as the statues of Gog east Magog do with the sculpture erected near them in Guildhall. It is said that what our new Crown piece loses in character, it dues ant gain in weight. One adteritage way re• milt from this—as nobody will be iuclined to imitate our taste. so nobody ail, have au inducement to export this branch of our circulating specie.

After a greet deal of drinking, and some dffscrlty (you see I do not reckon the " potations pottle deep" which I felt it necessary to swallow on this occasion. !amongst the difficulties), I was introduced to the eastkeian of a great Northers Potentate—a devilish clever fellow.

I cannot call it a place of Imasieksvent, or of imprisossaust—although Mr. I...eke, judging from one of his peeitices, would be apt to differ from them in opinion. The Agent alluded to spoke to this effect : " I am surprised that there should be any ob jection to the prima/el contained in the Memorial. which does out require Boosparte's removal from St. Metro., with a view to setting him at liberty but. proposes that a proper place should be selected for liis further detention—and, considering the ease with which. as 1 shall presently sheet. he may escape from the Island, I thiak at ie necessary to provide in time. against the possibility of such as event. by agreeing to the proposittou. " The extreme likelihood of Bonaparte. being carried away from St. Helena, by means of a steam vessel, was first broached in au English newspaper, remarkable fur the consistency of its political opi nions—for its strenuous exertions in favour of the doctrine or 'quantity—from the year 1793 to the present period. The article is said to have been written by the Secretary to the Admiralty. a Gen. drawn who, like theaueieut Romarn. when prepar ing to oppose the maritime power of the Carthe. pavilin, obtained all his knowledge of nautical a& fairson shore. Coming from such an authority, the suggestion ought to have greet freight-.but, mit has been published, 1 mean not to descant on it—and shall now advert to other means some of which may, and probably will. be resorted to, for the pur pose °frescoing Napoleon, Wive do not interpose iu time. •' t st.—May not Napoleon's escape be effected by the employment of a balloon, of immense diineu sions ? It clearly .nn—aud. to speak the 'nab, 1 do not much approve of the *aromatic eahibitious that have recelitly taken place in this city. There experiments, upon • smell scale, are only the forerunners of some stupendous attempt. How easy is it fur the adherents of Napoleon. either in Europe or Americo, to construct a balloon of extraordinary magnitude, the kid to be large enough to live iu • rough sea ? This they might convey on board a vessel. within • few leagues of the taking care to keep out of sight. lii this tus %ion, the balloon might be inflated, and (the boat bring properly manned) set adrift, at au hour •so cilculated, that it should nut hover over the island till utght•fall.

If they could afterwards make the ship. very well—if not, they would be prepared to pro ceed on a voyage themselves. for which purpose the boat ought to be fully provisioned. •• 2d.-1 entertain greet fears that the 4mseiews •"146 onajr , Nilibir . . . • Sea-Serpa,. u it is called, is nothing elae than a 'machine—a species of diving-bell—isnended for a 'visit to St. Helens. The appearance of soil' a monster, as it 'multi bethought, would fright's' 'the guards from their posts, and Bonaparte might then, without difficulty, march into thb mouth of the prettified serpent.
