(Aapeau de Piailk.—lt was announced, a few
weeks back, that this celebrated portrait had bees
purchased by Mr. SMITH, the picture dealer, of
Great Marlbocoogh•strret, and would he exhibited
in the course of the ensuing spring. We are now
enabled io rote, that shortly after the arriecil of the
painting in this, country, it war, by desire of the
K I N 0, sent to Car Iton.house, where it remained fem.-
vend days locked up in a private a partment,of which
his MA.)EOTY himself, during that period, carefully
kept the key. Even some of the most favoured
were, we believe, excluded front a sight of this
beautiful specimen of att. In the mesa time our
gracious Sovereign became enamoured of the pic-
ture, and Sir TOOMAS LAWAHNCE having, it is said,
been consulted as to its value, we are informed that
it has been purchased by his MAJeSTY for the rum
at 7,000/.! A profit is thus realised by Mr.Siitrit,
we believe, of nearly 4,0001., besides the earn which
he expects to derive from exhibiting the portrait dur-
ing the ensuing season, according to a stipulutioa
made with the ILINQ to that effect.

Last week, a servant of Mr. SNAI7II6 of Turista!,
istilat ploughing out a field taw that place, turned
up a number of silver coins to the ancient of fi!ty.
of a very early date, but in high preservation. We
have in our possession at this time three of them,
one of which has evidently been coined at York :
the other two have been struck iii London. " ED-
w•anus Rim" is on the rim of all three. sod the
probating is, that they are productions of the reign

A few days ago as some miners were forming a
