ANTIQUITIES OF EXETER.

PHCENICIAN C 0....
TO THE EDITOR OF THE S. (711 V.
Sta,—Among other rarities lately dug up in this ari.7lent
city is a Phoenician copper coin, found in Goldsmith-street,
unique in its kind. It bears an antique bust to the left—in
front a bow. On the reverse arc three characters, on the
upper part of an oblong or rhomboidal figure, visected or di-
vided at tcp. They are supposed by Captain Shorts, of
Ileavitree, unless marking some epochs as Phoenician or Ty-
rian numerals, to imply the word Sada, and stand for the
famous city of Sidon, even now called Said. On being read
from the right, he observes, they present something like the
llebre x (gridiron) letter s'chin or sin (the initial of the Phoe-
nician word signirying year) ; also a second letter like a Q, or
numerical 9 turned to the right, answering to the Hebrew
daleth (I); and the last, or third character, is beyond all con-
troversy the Phoenician A, answering to the Hebrew Aleph.
Such rhomboids often appear, on medals and coins of Tyre,
Sidon, and Syracuse. Three Greek coins of Sidon, have,
however, been found at Exeter before, besides many others of
the Ptolemies, and 14 Greek colonial cities of Syria, Mesopo-
tamia, and Asia Minor. And even in despite of the editors of
the Islumismatic Chronicle, who, with the fact of two of the
vast medals of Ptolemy Soter staring them in the face from
the Watling-street, continue to assert that no Greek coins
were ever found in London l The Phoenician coin was found
in October last. A S)racusan coin of massy silver has been
dug up in the mines near Truro, with the usual Greek inscrip-
tion ; and a small Greek copper coin at Exeter lately, defaced,
but bearing a bearded bust. Also an unique coin of the Em-
press Theodora, another of Gratian A VGG. AVG ; one of
Julian the Apostate, &c. ; a Bull of Eugenius IV. has been
dug up on the site of the old Franciscan convent.
The readers of The Sun will recollect a notice in its columns
last year of the Greek Imperial coins of Carre, in Mesoputa.
mia (Alex. Severus), of Hierapolis, Samosata, Caesarea,
.and
Alexandria, of which a deposit was found nearPoltirnore, three
miles from this city, along with some coins (mostly female
heads) of the Ptolemman dynasty. The tin trade to these
parts was of remote antiquity, but Roman auxiliary soldiers
may have introduced many Greek coins also.—Yours,

TO THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS OF ENGLAND.
AT a GENERAL MEETING of the LI-
CENSED VICTUALLERS of BATH and its vicinity,
held on MortnAY last, at the Thrt:e Cups Inn (Mr. Ralph, Pre-
sident of the Bath and Bath Forum Licensed Victualler? Associa-
tion, in the Chair), the foStowing Resolutions were unanimously
adopted:—
Moved by Mr. Wittsitlnis ; seconded by Mr. STRICKLAND,
" That this Meeting believe it to be the duty and the interest of
the Trade, to ;:e-operate with the Committees of the Metropolitan
and the Provincial Associations in their exertions to resist the at-
tempts making by the Beer-shop-keepers further to encroach upon
the interests of the Licensed Victuallers, and to obtain, if possible,
during the approaching Session, some improvement in the Beer
Bill."

Moved by Mr. J. HUNT; seconded by Mr. HAWKINS,
di That this Meeting, seeing that " The Erav newspa7,er has
been established for the furtherance of these objects, :lid the for-
mation of charitable institutions, is of opinion that every member
of the Trade should be solicited to take in " The Era" newspaper ;
and recommends to the Committee of the Bath Association the pro-
priety of adopting an immediate canvas:, ior that newspaper."
Moved by Mr. HI/NT; seconded by Mr. Bicvvoon,
" That the thanks of this ►Meeting be given to the deputation
from London for their attendance that day, and valuable
assistance."

A vote of thanks to the Chairman for his able conduct in the
chair was also cP.rried by acclamation.

BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY.—The ex-

To this triumphant success must be attributed the fast, that sash
sueseeding year has witnessed the birth and death of some new
Brandy lictablishment ; called into life by jealousy of bite success of
the Patent Brandy, and doomed to certain failure es a necessary
sansoquence ; being totally unable to produce an article oapabl9 of

PROPOSED RAILROADS IN

(FROM A CORRESPONDE:4T OF A MORNING PAPER.)
One of the grandest railroad' schemes ev,.r conceived by
tjiemind of man has been submitted to the public by General

the radiations of a stn., to all the large cities and important

in Michigan, Chicago, in Illinois, Fort Gibson, in Arkansas,
Sr. Louis, in Missouri, the northern lakes, and the southern

CORONER'S INQUEST ON THE BODY•

la the evening, at six o'clock, a lengthened investigation
was proceeded with before Mr. Iligge, deputy coroner for
Westminster, at the sign of the Man in the Moon, Vine-street,
Piccadilly. Verdict—" That the deceased died from apo-
plexy, caused by swallowing a great quantity of gin, and that
it is very reprehensible in Mr. Burdett and another gentleman
in giving si. to the deceased to take such a quantity in so short
time.

LAMBETH- STREET.

A case of importance to the licensed victuallers of the me-
tropolis was brought under the notice of, and decided by, Mr.
CoottnE. It was a summons against a Mr. Jones, the land-
lord of the White Hart public-house in High-street, White-
chapel, for refusing to receive into his house two soldiers who
were billetted upon him by the parish constable.
Mr. COMBS thought the complaint on the part of the publi-
can was well founded, and told the constable he had a right to
send billets to the beerhouse-keepers as well as to the public-
houses. He then dismissed the summons.

FATAL. EFFECTS OF TREATING TO

ARDENT SPIRITS.

On Saturday the sitting Magistrate at the Marlborough.
street Police-office was occupied a Considerable time in inves-
tigating the following melancholy and serious case :
It appeared that about eight o'clock in the morning a poor
half-witted, half-starved individual, named James Johnson, but
better known by the cognomen of " Nubby," who had for
some time been hanging about the nighthouscs in the Hay-
market, subsisting upon occasional charity, was brought
to the station-house in Vine-street in a dying state.
It was soon ascertained that the unfortunate man had swal-
lowed. a large quantity of gin, which had been furnished to
him, as reported, by way of bet, by a young gentlemen of the
name of Burdett. The inspector sent immediately for me-
dical assistance. The stomach pump was applied, but medical
skill was of no avail, for the man died an hour or two after his
admission into the station- house. The cause of this unhappy
event called at the station-house to learn how it fared with the
man whom he had so imprudently supplied with gin. The
inspector, finding the young gentleman in a state of intoxica-
tion, very properly laid hold of this circumstance to keep him
in custody. The charge was entered on the police-sheet as
one of drunkenness against William Jones Burdett, of No.
25, St. James's-place, the residence of Sir Francis Burdett.
Mr. Burdett, having paid the fine for drunkenness, went
away.

ROTHSCHILD V. THE QUEEN OF PORTUGAL.

Mr. TURNER said there were certain documents in
London connected with this case, and there were others
at Lisbon ; he wished to take an order for the produc-
tion of those documents which were in London, and
understood that the defendant had agreed to furnish
copies of those in Lisbon, verified by affidavits, and un-
der the- seal of the Government of Portugal.
Lord ABINGBR—The Government has no seal for
such a purpose. The seal of some Ctuirt perhaps.
Mr. TURNER—TiIe seal of a Court of Authority,

Lord AIIINGER—The seal of the Government means
nothing,. The seal of the Consul, perhaps, might be
sufficient.
Mr. TURNEIL apprehended that would do.
The assent of the Queen of Portugal having been
given by the Learned Gentleman who appeared on her
behalf,
The order was made as prayed.

THE BISHOP AND THE MINISTER.—We have
long been convinced that one of the worst features in
the policy of the Ministers is their continued and al-
most unceasing professions in Parliament of attach-
ment, deference, and respect, for the Church of Eng-
land, while the great bulk of the priesthood are their
open, avowed, and determined enemies. If they ever
hoped to conciliate the black legion, they ought
now at least to be convinced that the hope was
vain. For years they have made the attempt, and
every year, from the resistance made to the appoint-
ment of Dr. Hampden to Oxford, has only added to
the indignities and insults which the priesthood and
their allies have heaped on the Ministers. At length
the Bishop of Exeter, acting up to his character and
to the attributes of his order, has laid hold of an ex-
pression of the Marquis of Lansdowne, and held
him up to public odium as an unbeliever. He im-
plies the Marquis has no " lively, abiding, practical
sense of the blessed truths which the word of God
has revealed to us ;" and utters a prayer for his
improvement in spiritual knowledge. Though the
public cares not one straw for any assertion made
by the political pamphleteer, nor places any reli
ante on any fact stated by the Bishop Inquisitor,
yet the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Lord President
of the Council, one of the Ministers, because he
makes great professions of attachment and deference
to the priesthood, has been obliged to defend him-
self against this contemptible accusation of a most
contemptible, political, pamphelteering prelate. This
is fit retribution, which we rejoice to see, because
there is more probability—such is the selfishness of
our nature—now when the ecclesiastical vulture
has scatched a Marquis and a Minister, that its
claws will be duly clipped, than when it had only
torn out the vitals of John Thorogood.

—let but the Queen of Spain, or rather her advisers ,
throw overboard those who have risked their lives and
spent their fortunes in behalf of her claims to the throne, ,
and there will rise up through all Europe a feeling of
contempt, disgust, and hatred at Royal ingratitude and.
Royal treachery, which eventually may leave but few-

as compared with the Liberal Goveromeot, their name

England sleeps, or that she will thus see her labours in.
behalf of human freedom thrown away. If Canning,
in 1827, by merely threatening to let slip the dogs of
war upon them, could make the despots tremble upon
their thrones, and awe them into the most humiliating
submission, to how much greater an extent could not
England now, with its reformed institutions, terrify them
by unfurling its national standard of independence and
free institutions?
London, England, 1839-11-28

Mr. RicHaßps appeared for the plaintiff, and proved
the handwriting and a promise to pay. The principal
witness was very strictly cross-examined by Mr. Erle.
He stated that the bill was brought to the bank by
a Mr. Roberts ; he had several interviews with the
bankers respecting it, but eventually the bill was dis-
counted for him on the 21st of March, on which occa-
sion Roberts signed the bill as acceptor, and endorsed
it twice—first above and then below the name of the
defendant. He swore that most positively, that the
hill was not finally made till that time ; the date of the
had evidently been altered, hut that must have been
done before Roberts completed the bill.
Mr. ERLE characterised the action as a most cruel
and unjust one. He said the history of the case was
this. John Jones bought timber of Mr. Roberts to the
amount of 1,0001. Before the contract was completed
Roberts being in want of money applied to Jones for
his acceptance, which was given him. He afterwards
came back to Jones and importuned him to obtain the
defendant's name, not as any security for him, but merely
to make it pass at the Bank. Gale would never be
troubled with the bill in any way. He also said the
Bank complained of the length of time it had to run.
Jones then desired his clerk to alter the date from the
19th of February to the 10th, but at that tame he would
had been vitiated. He then
called
proveyallueldd thatcontend the bill
the
complete, and, if so, then he
John Jones, who deposed to these facts, but he could
not recollect whether at the time the alteration of the
date was made. the name of Roberta was on it as drawer.
lie gave the bill as a mere blauk. acceptance.
