Saxon era, a portion have been sent over to Paris by order of
her Majesty, in pursuance of the following letter addressed to
Sir. E. Hawkins, keeper of Antiquities inthe British Museum :
" Sir,--I am directed by Lord Clarendon to inform you
that, struck with the idea that some specimens of the ancient
coins which were found last year at Cuerdale, in Lancashire,
might be a suitable addition to the collection in the Royal
Library at Paris, his Lordship is happy at having obtained
from the Queen, to whom they belong in right, as Treasure
trove, in her quality of Duchess and Countess of Lan-
caster, permission to reserve a selection for the above-
mentioned purpose. A list of these coins, with the coins
themselves, accompanies this, and Lord Clarendon desires me
to express to you the great satisfaction he will have in seeing
that you accept becoming the intermediary for transmitting
these objects to the Royal Library at Paris.—.l am,

Captain Freissauf, of the Austrian service, has invented
an apparatus applicable to locomotive engines on railroads, by
means of which the conductor can instantaneously detach an
engine from the waggons it is drawing. The apparatus it also
so contrived that, if the engine should get of• the rails, the
disjunction would be thereby effected of itself, without the in-
tervention of the conductor.
