THE NEW COINAGE.

(From last Night's Gazette.)
BY VIE QUEEN—A PROCLAMATION.
VICTOttiA, R.
Whereas we have thought fit to ordet that certain pieces of gold
money should be coined, which should be called five.pound pieces, each
of which should be of the value of one hundred shillings, and that each
such piece should be of the weight of twenty-five pennyweights, sixteen
grains, and 3700-10000 troy weight, of standard geld; and that certain
other pieces of gold money should be coined, which should be called
double sovereigns, each of which should be of the value of forty shillings,
and that each of such last-mentioned pieces should be of the weight of
ten pennyweights, six grains, and 5480-10000 troy weight, of standard
gold ; and that certain other pieces of gold money should be coined,
which should be called sovereigns, each of which should be of the value
of twenty shillings, and that each of such last-mentioned pieces shouldbe
of the weight of five pennyweights, three grains, and 2470_10000 troy
weight, •f standard gold ; and that certain other pieces of gold
money should be coined, which should be called half.eovereigns, each
of which should be of the value of ten shillings, and that each
of such last-mentioned pieces should be of the weight of two
pennyweights,
thirteen grains, 6370-10000 troy weight, of stan-
dart gold : and we have further thought fit to order, that every such
five-pound piece should have for the obverse impression our effigy, with
the inscriotion " Victoria Dei Gratia," and the date of the year; and,
for the revorse, the ensigns armorial of the United Kingdom, contained
In a plain shield, surmounted by the Royal crown, and encircled with a
laurel wreath, with the inscription " Britanniarum Regina, Fid. Def.,"
having the united :rose, thistle, and shamrock placed under the shield,
and, upon the edge of the piece, the words " Decus et Tutamen," and
the words " Anne Regni," and the year of our reign; and that every
such double sovereign should have the same obverse and reverse im-
pression and inscription in all respects as the five-pound piece, with the
same words on the edge; and that every such sovereign should have
the same obverse and reverse impression in all respects as the five-pound
piece, but (instead of the words) should have a graining on the edge ;
and that every such half-sovereign should have for the obverse im_
pression the aforesaid effigy, inscription, and date, and for the reverse
the ensigns armorial contained in a shield decorated with the same in.
scriptien as the five-pound piece, but without the wreath, and should
have the same graining upon the edge as the sovereign; and
we have also thought fit to order that certain pieces of silver
money should he coined which should he called crowns, and
that every such crown should have the same obverse and i
reverse impression and inscription in all respects as the five_
pound piece, with the same words on the edge; and that
certain other pieces of silver money should bs coined, which should be
called half-crowns, and that every such half-crown should have the
same obverse anti reverse impression and inscription as the crown, but,
instead of the words, a graining upon the edge; and that certain other
pieces of silver money should be coined, which should be called shillings,
and that every such shilling should have, for the obverse impression, the
aforesaid Gilley, with the inscription " Victoria Dei Gratia, Britannia :
Ree. F. D.," and, for the reverse the words " oneshilling" placed in. tbe
centre of GA:risme:ea:wing:an olive branch on one side, and an oak branch
the other, and surmounted by the Royal crown, with the date of
the year, and a graming on the edge, as used Mr his late Majesty's coin;
and that certain other pieces of silver money should be coined, which
shnul4 lie called sixpences, and that every such sixpence should have
the same obverss impression and inscription as the shit
ling, and, far the reverse the word " sixpence" with the olive

edge the same as the shilling ; and that certain other pieces of

ing the other band placed upon a shield impressed with the union cross,

the year below, with a graining on the edge as used for his late Majes-
ty's coin ; and that certain other pieces of silver money should be coieed
which shall be called the Queen's Maunday moneys, of fourpenee, three-
pence, twopence, and one penny, each of which should have tbe saine
o;;_
verse tospressudi and inscription as the shilling, anti Mr the reverse the
respective figures 4, fl, '2, I (according to the denomination or value of
the piece) ill the titre, with the date of the year placed across the 11-
gore, and erici.eled by an oak wreath, surmounted by the Royal Crown,
with:, plain edgoas used for hit late Majesty's coin ; all which said silver
coin we have ordered to be of the weight and fineness provided by an
Act passed is the tifty-sixth year of the reign of his late Mn.
jeaty King lteurge the Third, intituled " An Act to provide fur

EDUCATION.—Itt the few brief remarks which we
think it necessary to make on this subject, we consider it quite super.
&tow to dwell In a trite and formal manner on the necefilty and advan-
tages of eau° cultivation of the mind. Both have Idng since been ac-
knowledged, and the events daily passing around us bear w4h them the
most convincing evidence that the anxiety of all cliisses England to
share the blessings of education, has been attended by the tnosit splendid
results. The triumph of our mechanical powers j Ras ust /Seen mani-
fested on the waves of the Atlantic, and-the returt) one of our most
eminent philosophers from his sojourn inlbel.o kern Hemisphere,
ui j
vreleoned as it has been with every marko etet and honour, dis-
plays tlie regard entertained for those h evn e themselves to pure
scientific research. It would be idlrkt4 hen to dwell on the neces.
city of that eultivation which leadi MI results so flattering tons as a 1
nation. But the means by which they have been gained require more
notice. They Oil be found, we believe, in those establishments of edu-
cation where the es-turse of instruction is conducted on such principles as
to Imbue the mind L f youth with a love of improvement in win tever
branch of instruction it may be necessary that their attention should be
directed, with a view to their future part in the business of life. Among
the various establishments in every respect cciculated to insure their
Improvement, our expeeienet. leads us to recommend that of M. T. M.
Burt, Windsor Terrace, Plyincilth. In every department of instruction,
the mast efficient masters are e. 13 aged. The classics are under the su-
perintendence of Mr. E. C. Brown, B A., of Merton College, Oxford.
Every requisite for attaining a sound English education is also provided.
A talented naval instructor is engaged for teaching Navigation, to such
of the pupils as are destined to the Naval service, and for those who
are to follow Medicine as a profession a regular course of Medical read.
Ing is adopted. The accomplishments, without which an education Can
scarcely be said to be complete, meet the same attention. The care
taken of the pupils' domestic comfort we know to be most exemp'ary,
and where these advantages combine, we consider we are only doing our
duty in pointing them out.
