The suspension of Messrs. Walter Logan and Co.,
South American merchants, was announced yesterday under
painful circumstances, arising from the disappearance of a
partner, who had recently been admitted to their house at
Lima. The liabilities of the firm are supposed to amount to
about 60,0001. or 70,000/., of which, however, a considerable
portion is understood to be covered.

STROUD'S VALE DAHLIA SOCIETY.—The last dahlia
show of this amateur society was held yesterday (Monday),
at Mr. Samuel Barnes's, the Junction Arms, Stroud's Vale,
and was well attended. There was a choice display of green-
house flowers and plants in pots, and the show of cat flowers
and floricultural devices was excellent. Several prizes were
awarded for the best collection of dahlias in boxes of sixes,
which were given in the following order :—Norris, Hockham,
Hollyday, White, Wightwick, and Heather. The fuschias
shown were in good condition, and attracted a great deal of
notice.

DISCOVERY OF ANCIENT COINS.—Some workmen
employed in making a culvert for the river Sherbourne, at
Coventry, dug up last week from the bed of the river a large
number of ancient coins and other relics. The most valsable
Were two gold coins—a rose noble and a half noble of the
reign of Edward the Third. There were also many small
silver coins of about the same period ; with a number of eccle-
siastical pieces, bearing on one side a floreated cross, and on
the other a figure of the Virgin, with the words " Ave Maria
Gratia ;" but the major portion of the discovery consists of
foreign brass tokens of various sizes, lettered round the
margin " llans Shules, Nuremberg."
