THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3, 1840.

the table, but on consideration he had altered his view,
of which he bad informed their Lordships. It was wrong
in fact, to call it a treaty, for Mr. M.GREGoa had n 3
authority to conclude a treaty, and the notes he had
sent home were informal and incorrect. A treaty. was
drawn up from these notes, which had Leen sent to the
Neapolitan Government. The reason why no means
had been taken to enfarce on the Neapolitan Govern-
ment the abolition of the sulphur monopoly was that it
had promised to abolish it. As negotiations were still
pending, it was contrary to Parliamentary usage to pro-
duce the papers.
Lord LYNDHURST was satisfied with his display, and
withdrew his motion.

The Marquis of NORMANBY called their Lordships'
attention to that amendment which the Commons had
made in the Prisons' Discipline Bill, allowing, in order
to meet the cases of Mr. P. O'CoNNoll and others, the
Visiting Justices and the Secretary of State, if they
should see good cause, to relax the rules of the prison.
The Noble Marquis wished their Lordships to agree to
the amendment.

The Marquis of SALISBURY and the Earl of WAR-
WICK objected, and after some conversation the amend-
ments were ordered to be printed, with a view to subse-
quent consideration. Their Lordships Adjourned to
Thursday.
In the Commons, an attempt of Mr. LARoccusult to
procure the omission of a clause from the Exeter Port
Dues Bill, conferring exemption on the freemen of Ex-
eter, which Mr. LABOUCHERE stated were injurious to
the general trade of the country, was defeated, and the
clause retained by 72 to 47. The Government is ;un-
equal to cope with the corrupt influences which manifest
themselves in the House of Commons.
Sir H. INGLIs fixed his Church Extension motion
for June 16, and denied that he intended to ask for
8,000,000/.
In answer to Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, Mr. F. 111AuLt
said that the treatment of Mr. F. O'CoNNort had been
improved ; but Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD said he had
received a letter from Mr. F. O'CONNOR asserting that
he was treated exactly as before. We cannot decide:
between these conflicting statements.

Mr. W. O'BRIEN moved his resolutions as to emi-
gration, which, after referring to the frequent priva-
tions of the working classes here, and the want of
hands in the colonies, state that it is expedient that a
free passage to the colonies which offer the greatest
rewards to industry, should be provided by the State
for such of the labouring classes as choose to emigrate
thither. He enforced this resolution, by referring to
the amount of poor's-rates yet paid in England, and the
distress which is felt in Ireland—to evidence taken be-
fore Committees and found in despatches, of the want
of hands in our colonies—to the great number who
had voluntarily emigrated, 100,000 in 1838--to the
fortunes which many labourers had made in the colo-
nies, and to the advantages they held out to our people.
But private undertakings, by those who have land, do
not justify similar public ones, and the number of those
who have left the country in one year, is a proof that no
inducement is required to make the people emigrate.
Mr. O'BRIEN, however, would exert his power and
confine them to our colonies.
Mr. HUTT seconded the motion, and stated that his
Hon. Friend only wished that the funds of the colo-
nies thernielves should be applied to the purpose of
emigration.

Mr. LUCAS thought the motion of much importance,
and the country deeply indebted to his Hon. Friend for
bringing it forward.
Captain BoLnEao wished to have a system of mili-
tary colonization adopted for Canada, for which, Le
said, there was a glorious opportunity.
Mr. VillaEas thought it would be unjust to our
people to tax them to give a supply of labourers to the
colonies. He attributed the want of employment to the
Corn-laws, which made

Sir R. INoLts exclaim Ecce iterum crispinus !
The Hon. Gentleman (Mr. VILLIER3) said Sir Ro-
BERT, however dry was' the bone thrown to him,
contrived to make a food question out of it, and the
House laughed at the oily Baronet's wit. He had
scarcely, however, delivered himself of it when he fell
into the same error he had satirised in Mr. VILLIEns,
and spoke of his own favourite topics of religious in-
struction, and religious worship too.
Mr. WARD supported the motion, and recommended
the application of the funds from the sale of land.
Mr. VERNON SMITH had no objection to the two
first resolutions, but on the third he moved the previous
question.
Lord J. RUSSELL also opposed the third resolution.
The Noble Lord stated that theclass of persons who found
no employment at home were not those most wanted in
the colonies. He stated that the persons required in the
colonies were not so willing to go, nor was there so
great a demand for labour that emigrants were sure on
arriving to find work. Some preparation was neces-
K..ry. The Noble Lord claimed credit to the Go-
vernment for the land funds in the colonies, which Ivi,d
arisen from the discriminating mode of letting the lauds
adopted by the M inisters.
Sir H. PEEL also opposed the motion, because he
disapproved of affirming abstract proposition_. Finally
the motion was negatived.
Lord SEYmoun obtained leave to bring in a Bill to
establish a superintendence of railways.
Mr. KELLY postponed his motion on the Punish-
ment of Death till a future opportunity.
An interesting discussion subsequently took place on
Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD'S motion to remove Mr.
VINCENT from the Penitentiary to another prison, to
which we cannot at present further advert than to say
that Mr. Fox MAULE and others opposed the motion,
which was withdrawn.
r. similar motion relative to Mr. F. O'CONNOR WI'S
also withdrawn. After a short debate, and at Half-past
One the House adjourned till Thursday.

In the House of Commons last night, Mr. W.
O'BRIEN brought forward a motion to facilitate
emigration, by providing a free passage to those
colonies which offer the greatest rewards to indus-
try. We do not question his motives, which are
probably those of pure benevolence and patriotism ;
but does not Mr. O'BRIEN and the Legislature
see that emigration, to be beneficial, must be freely
and voluntarily adopted, without bribe or impulse. ?
To be sent out of the country by the law is not to
emigrate, but to be transported. The very attempt
implies a desire in the law-makers, like that which
they evince in Corn-laws, to get rid of the people,
and provokes their hostility, not their gratitude.
It may be true that hands are superabundant
here and wanted in several British colonies, but we
doubt whether that be not a discrepancy which
lies beyond the province of legislation. To inter-
fere with the labour market has been reprobated
since political economy became a science ; yet such
a motion is an avowed interference with the labour
market. We read, a few days ago, an account of
labourers being superabundant in New York ; if by
any succession of calamitous seasons, failures
of banks, or imprudent speculations of colonial
capitalists, labour should in a few years become
redundant in Canada or New South Wales, will
Mr. O'BRIEN then bring the labourers back ? Iu
justice he ought ; and, in justice, if the Legislature
begin to interfere with the labour market, it ought
to regulate every part of it within her MAJESTY'S
dominions, and everywhere adjust the supply and
demand with scrupulous accuracy.
At present, the great demand of the working-
classes throughout the empire is—a fair day s
wages for a fair day's work ; and the rational
reason why the Legislature does not comply with
the demand is, that the market and wages of labour
are beyond its control. That is a sound prin-
ciple ; and emigration, which is a gross interference
with the labour market, does not fall, therefore, with-
in the province of legislation. In behoof of the Le-
gislature, in order to save it from the interminable
care and toil it would bring on itself, by beginning
to interfere with the labour market, we are opposed
to its undertaking, by bribes or inducements of any
kind, to provide a free passage to emigrants, or
taxing the community to direct the stream of emi-
gration, with a view to adjust the supply of labour
to the demand.

We are aware that our view is not in accordance
with the prevailing opinions on this subject, and
that we shall be asked for some practical measure
to relieve the wants of our population. Our an-
swer is—" Give us the repeal of the Corn-laws.
Let our people eat their bread in safety and
peace in the land of their fathers. Let them,
if they will, go abroad. Throw no obstacle
in their way, and seek not to preserve a dominion
over them which they do not court. Make no
claim to the soil of distant continents, but allow
those who go thither to hold every foot of land
they cultivate, free from any tribute to you,
and in as full sovereignty as the people of England
hold the realm of England. Inflict not on them--
which, perhaps, they leave their beloved native laud
to avoid—that hierarchy which here drives a pros-
perous tattle with religion, and that aristocracy
which thrives by insulting and oppressing labour,—
inflict not on them a system of Government in
Church and State, of which they perhaps disap •
prove, and allow them to establish such a form of
Government as they think best adapted to their
wants and their situation. Thattheisltahned,mad:,,dwaayll

while
they
re.
main within it, which ate practicable measures,
most easy of accomplishment, there soon will be

no surplus hands in England, and no unsatisfied
demand in the colonies for labour.
We are afraid that motions like that of Mr.
O'BRIEN will do mischief merely by being made.
The suffering working classes will say " When in
our need we addressed vou, and implored you to
in-
terfete between us and Our employers, you turned a
deaf car to our prayers, and,
standing on the pure
principles of science, you declared that you dared not
interfere with the labour market. But now, when the
capitalists of New South Wales, who are to get no
more convicts, and the capitalists of Demerara,
whose supply of slaves is stopped, and the capitalists
of various other colonies say they are in want
of labourers, that their labourers are saucy and
demand too high wages,—now when the Irish
landlord, from having the English market open to
his ploduce, while it is shut against the produce of
the American farmer, finds it more profitable to
grow corn on large farms than to allow the poor
peasants to grow potatoes on small farms,—now
when. the Irish landlord wants to get rid of
11 poor countrymen, you cast your pure prin-
ciples to the wind, and propose a gigantic,
scheme for equalising the supply and the de-
mand in the labour market of two hemispheres.
our emigration scheme is only another attempt
to increase your power and wealth at our expense,
and another proof that all your legislation is based
on the most selfish and unworthy motives?' Mr.
O'BRIEN's motion may, therefore, not only provoke
the hostility of the working classes, it may, we
fear. confirm them in the unfavourable opinion they
already entertain of Parliament, and promote that
alienation which we believe Mr. O'BRIEN is
anxious to lessen. Whether that be so or not, it
is clear that the Legislature has already taken a
great deal more on itself, powerful though it be,
than it can successfully accomplish, and it ought
not to add to its cares interfering
with its toils by
with emigration, and by undertaking to regulate the
labour market.

Portents thicken upon us. To the murder of
an aged nobleman in his bed, there is now added
the appalling murder of a wife by her husband in
open day, in the middle of the street, in a crowded
part of the metropolis, and the immediate suicide of
the murderer. In ancient times, men read the fate
of their country in the entrails of animals or in
the flights of birds. The relation which they bore
to coming events is more difficult to discover than
the relation which such diabolical actions bear to the
tuture fate of England. They betoken a cold and
reckless calculation, which wholly disregards human
life standing in the way of selfish gratification ;
and they betoken a fury of passion and wild ferocity
lurking beneath a polished surface, which need
but the opportunity to break forth in general
devastation. They indicate the success of the sve-
tem which, encouraging avarice on the one hand
by multiplied rewards, and cruelty on the other
by terrible punishments, degrades and demoralizes
mankind.

We read to-day, in a Tory Morning Journal, a
furious denunciation of the Irish, who are de-
scribed as the most bigoted and superstitious people
of Europe ; but, he they what they may, on them
has been exerted, with all the power which Eng-
land could give it, the Tory system of misrule.
The Vhigs have been in office only ten years; and
whatever the national character, either in England
or Ireland, may be, it has been very slightly modi-
fied within that time. Such as it now is it has
been made by the dominant system, by the power
of the aristocracy, the influence of the priesthood,
and the guiding of the lawyers, which are equally
i responsible for the superstitious znorance and in
poverty of the Irish, and the savageness of
the English. Their system has had unchecked
sway ; it domineers now as vigorously as ever ; the
Whigs make it their pride to adminster it, and,
whatever may be the national condition and the
national character, that system is responsible.
While such frightful events are hearing testi-
mony against it, the sole consideration of those
who are called statesmen is how they can consolidate
and strengthen it. They wish to levy more money
on us, to build more churches, and to strengthen
the power of the lawyers, the priests, and the
nobility. Their plans to remedy present evils
is to make better men men modelled after
their devices—of the next generation. They de-
orafTe--aiid exasperate the present race, in order to
-
make the next better and wiser. But when was
that great natural law reversed, by which the qua-
lities, physical and moral, of parents arc transmitted
to their offspring ; by which the sins of one gene-
ration are visited on the third and fourth. genera-.
tions ? And if it have not been reversed, which we
have never heard, how can it be expected that to
exasperate and aggravate the present generation is
the way to improve the next? Portents then, we say,
thicken upon us ; for, at the same time that murder
affrights us in our streets, and convinces us of a latent
evil disposition in our people, the law-makers are
nightly busy aggravating anger and hunger by
Corn-laws, by new taxation, by wanton inflictions,
and cruel insults. In the disposition of the people,
of which the crimes we have referred to are indica-
tions, and in the iniquity of the ruling classes, of
which Corn-laws and political writers treated worse
than felons are the proofs, the future fate of this
community ma 3 be more surely read than was the
fate of the Jews by their ancient prophets.

The Madrid Papers received are of the 25th
ult. On the 24th EsPARTEtto commenced the
siege of Morella, by cannonading the fort of San
Pedro Martyr, one of four strong ouworks thrown
up by CABRERA a few months ago. The result
was not known.

There is very little news of any moment in the
Paris Jourinds of Monday. M. ODILLoN BAR-
ROT has addressed a letter to the Courtier Fran-
cois, stating that the object of the majority in the
Chamber of Deputies, who voted for reducing the
proposed grant of two millions for the removal of
the remains of NAPoLuow to France, was to dis-
countenance the erection of a paltry equestrian sta-
tue to his memory ; but that they are still ready to
grant the original sum, or any other which may be
required, as it never was intended by the Chamber
that recourse should be had to a national subscrip-
tion. This explanation has been accepted by the
Subscription Committee, who have announced that
the money will be returned to the subscribers.

The taking the pass of Teniah cost the French
army the loss of 700 men killed, and upwards of
1,000 wounded. The following observations from
the Commerce remove all doubt as to the failure of
the campaign :
The war is but in its commencement, and wiles!, the
campaign is renewed with all possible speed Medeah will
be but a second Tlemcen. Not the slightest real advan-
tage has been obtained up to the present moment, not a

The Chamber of Peers adopted on Monday
without discussion the project
of for removing
P
the remains of the Emperor NAOLEON to France.
In Monday's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies the
Bill for supplementary grants of 540,000 f. for expenses in
the Buenos Ayres blockade, afforded M. Thiers the oppor-
tunity of declaring that Admiral Dupotet had made no
engagement with Rosas's Minister, Senor Arena, and that
the Admiral bad remitted the propositions to the French
Consul, who
alone was charged with the negotiations.
The blockade was still strictly kept up, and France was
still assisting, the opponents, of Roses with money and
arms. The intention of the Cabinet was to seed Out a
superior agent to restore harmony, as the Admiral and the
Consul had a slight variance. The vote was carried by
222 against Xl4.
Paals, JUNE I.—The Moniteur has no official part.
We have the following leiter from Algiers ;
" On the 20th the army commenced its return to
Algiers, escorting the Marshal and tile Princes. It had
scarcely proceeded a league, %filen the Arabs began to
harass the rear;,• but the most serious affair was at the
where our troops had bivouacked on
camp of the Olives,
the advance., There a strong column of the enemy was
seen gradually to show itself en an eminence which corn-
.' mends the road. An attempt was made to avoid it, but it
suddenly fell on the 17th regiment of Light Infantry,
which formed the rear guard. This regiment behaved
well, but it could not long keep in check about 5,000
cavalry and infantry, and it asked for reinforcements.
1 Meantime it kept up a well supported fire against the
enemy, who fought with incredible fury.
I « The Arab horsemen bad dismounted and attacked one
company with their sabres: ; happily the Zoaves came to
' their relief. Our cavalry of the regiment of Hussars also

dismounted and acted as sharp-shooters. The combat was
I long and obstinate, and the unfortunate 17th Regiment,
which stood firm till the last moment, experienced severe
loss. On this memorable day, our soldiers used each 100
cartridges. We had about 100 killed and 200 wounded
We were obliged to abandon some of the wounded. On
the following day the army was at Blidah, and the next
day at Algiers.—Le Conctitutionncl.
I PersFlA.—The Munich Historical and Political Journal
contains the following Cabinet letter, in answer to the ap-
plication of the clergy of Posen of the 20th of January
this year:—
" To the Clergymen Sricharski, Kuritak, and Perzynski.
" I reply to their application of the 20th ult., in which
they unwarrantably designate themselves as deputies of
the Roman Catholic Clergy of the diocese of Gnesen and
Posen ; that I confirm the decision which they have
received through the Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs, to
their petition, &c., the return of Archbishop Dunin to his
diocese. The practice respecting mixed marriages, which
has existed in the diocese of Gueseu and Posen, respect-
ing which Archbishop Dunin gave an official testimony
on the 20th of January, 1830, Is founded on a law of the
kingdom of Poland, and has been observed for nearly 70
'ears without any interruption of harmony between the
several religious parties, till Archbishop Dunin, trans-
gressing the laws, and violating his oath taken to me and
my sovereign authority, presumed to disturb this bar.
many. So long as he perseveres in his culpable resistance,
and does not return to his duty conformably to the
summons addressed to him, so long must the
measures adopted against him continue, which I announce
to the (above) clergymen in answer to their application,
at the same time expressing my serious displeasure at, the
deliberate misrepresentation of the truth, and particularly
at the scandalous statement, as if I had guaranteed by the
most solemn treaties the Catholic religion, with the renun
ciation of all my Sovereign rights. My Catholic subjects
will at all times enjoy my effectual protection for their re-
ligion, but I will never suffer religion to be abused by the
clergy, and their superiors to infringe my rights of Sove-
reignty. _

We have received Cape of Good Hope Papers
to the 12th April, which bring intelligence from
China of the 4th February—the previous intelli-
gence was of the date of the 20th January :--
CIIINA.—By the Thomas Coutts we have some recent
intelligence from China, from which it appears that the
Chinese are determined to resist all attempts at accommo-
dation, except on their own terms. They had purchased
some large European ships, with the intention of arming
and manning them in the approaching war with Great
Britain.

BY EXTRAORDINARY EXPRESS.

THE DERBY.

Her Majesty the Queen, accompanied by his
Royal Highness Prince Albert, arrived at two
o'clock, and was received with the loudest and most
unexampled enthusiasm. In consequence of the
visit of her Majesty, the company on the
ground was more than usually numerous and
brilliant, and both riders and horses, as if aware of
the presence of an illustrious stranger, seemed to
exert themselves more than on ordinary occasions.
The illustrious pair appeared much gratified on
this their first visit to this favourite race-course.

The Derby Stakes of 50 sovs. each, h. ft. ; for
three-yrs-old colts, Bst. 71b., and fillies, Bst.. 21b.
Last mile and a half. The second to receive
100 sovs. out of the stakes, and the winner to
pay 100 sovs. towards the expenses of additional
police officers, &c.

Lieutenant from the Brazils, after a very quick
passage, having sailed from Rio de .ILoeiro on the 15th,
Bahia on the 25th, and from Pernambuco on the 30,12
of
April. Her read was landed by a boat at eight o'clock
but the vessel, owing to light airs, cannot get in
before morning.
\\'e learn from Rio, that it is quite understood that the
bleckade of the Rio Piata will continue in the state it is at
prckent until the answer of the French Government shall
be known to the repositions Which have been sent home
by their diplomatic agents.
At Rio Grande affairs are improving,' but ,nothing de-
chive had set taken place. The exchange -eontinued
steady, 301 d. to 31d. Stock had risen to 77, but at the
packet's departure was 75i.
The Legbilatire As.sernhly lira met, and in May the
financial statement was to be brought forward. The reve-
nue had increased, yet there must be a considerable deficit
to make good either by a loan or taxes, fur it is thought
the evil meastue of issuing more paper money will .not be
again rtuortcd to. There was nothing particular from the
mines: the claims of the Gongo Soco Company were again
to be brought forward this Session. The packet brings
eight passengers and about 10,000/. on freight.
A vessel appeared in the offing about dusk, aepposed to
be the Magna, packet, with the West India mads. but she
cannot reach the port ut time to save till'

MR. O'BRIEN and the SOUTHERN

STAR.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE St'N.
sour Paper of last evening there is a gross
calumny on the conductors of the Southern Star, London
Newspaper, in a letter signed " Sophia O'Brien." It has
never been *Aid or insinuated in the Southern Star that
Mr. O'Brien was in any way connected with the conduct,
contents, or management, of that Paper, but it hes been
said and proved that it Was carried on for his benefit and
that of his family, and any assertion or insinuation to the
contrary by Mrs. O'Brien is a calumny and a falsehood.
This matter has r, cently been agitated in the Northern
and Southern Star Papers, and it will be the turn of the
Southern Star in its next Paper to vindicate itself and ex-
pose its advetsarics.

Trusting to your attachment to even-handed justice for
the insertion of this reply, which all the o..her leading
Papers of the metropolis have inserted,
I am, Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
Tim EDITOR OF THE SOUTHERN STAR.-
Southern S ar Office, June 3.

CANDIDATE FOR DURHAM.--Mr. Granger,
who has been for some time the favourite candidate of a large
portion of the elects.:rs of Durham, visited that city during the
past week, in consequence of the announcement of Mr. Har-
land that he will not again solicit the suffrages of the consti-
tuency; and we undersard that there is every prospect of the
Learned Gentleman's uneppesed return at the next election.

LORD ROSSMORE.—It IS nipossible to say
how long his Lordship may linger—every hour diminishes his
strength, and at prescnt life is sustained merely by the effects
of medical skill, acting on a strong and tenacious constitution.
Viscount Palmerston has appointed Mr George
Caneing Baekhouse, godson to the late statesman, to a junior
clerkship in the Secretary of State's office for Foreign Affairs.
Mr. Backhouse is the son of Mr. Backhouse, the Under Secre-
tary for the Foreign Department. •
CHARGE OF STEALING—SUICIDE OF. THE
OFFENDEL—On Monday, a suicide, under extraordinary cir-
cumstances, was committed at the Liverpool Bridewell. It ap-
pears that a letter-carrier, named Fitzallan, was suspected of
abstracting money from a letter amongst those he was bound to
deliver; and an investigation having taken place he underwent
an examination betore the authorities at the post-office, and
was sent to bridewell, preparatory to being brought before Mr.
Rushton, the Stipendiary Magistrate. After the man had been
for some time locked up, the deceased• was found suspended by
a cord from a hook in the wall, and life quite extinct. He bore
'a very good character, having been a letter-carrier for more
than ten years. He has left a wife and seven children.
FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.--Yester-
day morning a boy named Taylor was amusing himself by
playing with a dog, on a barge, off St. Katherine's ; he fell over-
board into the river, and betore any one eould reach him he
sank. The men on board the barge immediately adopted mea-
sures to recover the lad, who was picked up its five or six
minutes afterwards, but life bad Red. The sister of
the deceased was burnt to death a short time ago, and several
other drplorable accidents have happened to other members of
the family.
It is stated that Madame Pasta has accepted an
engagement for the ensuing winter at St. Petersburg.
SIR ARTHUR PAGET.—It affords us consider-
able pleasure to give a more favourable account of Sir Arthur's
health ; indeed, there is every prospect of his being completely
restored to health in a few weeks.

TILE WELLINGTON MONUMENT.—We learn
with great satisfaction that the subscription lists of many of the
leading counties of Scotland (already sent in) exhibit the seal
a• d liberality with which they have adopted the measure of a
great national trophy to be erected at Edinburgh in honour of
the Duke of Wellington. The subscriptions in Perthshire ex
ceed 6001. in Ayrshire are above 800/. ; Berwickshire above
400/. ; and East Lothian above 1,000/. ; while the counties of
Aberdeen, Fife, and many others, arc understood to have made
equallt munificent exertions, although the subscription lists
have not yet been sent to the committee at Edinburgh. We
have no doubt that all the counties will soon forward their lists,
which wi'l shortly be published in detail, and ultimately de..
posited in the foundation of this grand national work.—Edire.

IT OF PRINCESS DASCIIKAW.--We.
proceeded through suites of apartments, many a figure glided,
past us, and many a face peeped out of side doors to gaze upon
the strangers. At last the sorecre,4 appeared ! and if the
singularity of her dress and figure fully justified the title, so did
the fascination of her countenance, where the noblest qualities
of mind, blended with su expression of the softest. sensibility-,
awed and attracted at the same instant. She wore a long cloth
coat, with a large silver star on the left side ; her head-dregs
was a man's nightcap, and round her neck was a coloured sill:
handkerchief, which friendship had consecrated to the 4me
use for more than twenty years. It was the gift of Mrs.
I Ipmilton, to secure her from taking cold one evening; and alas
would nevor, in her evening walks, wear any other.—Mentoks

ERROR H A I.FPENC E.—Of all the blunders
which have c...anated from our National Mint, those of the
two Error Halfpence of George 11. and George 111.. formerly
termed " Tower Halfpence,' stand pre-eminent. Indeed, it
must ever remain a matter of astonishment that such a cir •
eumstanee could have taken place. If the collector of these
coins will take the trouble to search, he will find, in the year
1%0, one of the halfpence of the first-named sovereign spelt
uEoiltus. This certainly is very extraordinary ; but is it no t
much snore so to find, subsequently, one issuing from the Mat
of his successor, George 111., likewise mis-spelt ? This read.
GEORIUS instead of GEORGIUS, and was issued in 1772.
There is reason to believe that after the latter coins were eit,
culated, a reward was offered for each piece, if returned to the
Mint. This is probable, as they were mere rare t. e
than those c
