SOCIETY OF ANTIQUARIES.—Viscount Mahon,
President, was in the chair on Thursday night, and intro-
duced Mr. Evelyn, M.P., of Wotton, Surrey, as a member of
the society, and as the lineal descendant of one of the early
fathers of the body in the reign of Charles 11. The certi-
ficate in fa% our of Mr T. Lennard, M.P., was ordered to be
suspended. Many presents were made to the library, and
thanks returned to the liberal donors. The reading of the
evening was confined to an important and learned paper
by Mr. Wm. Ray Smee, of the Bank of England, on
the comparative value of gold and silver at various
antecedent periods, commencing with the early history of
Rome, and cringing the subject regularly down in our own
history to our own times. It contained many carious illus-
trations, and was most authentic it its details; but it was
too long to be concluded in one night, and the remainder was
necessarily deferred. Mr. Dickenson sent some interesting
objects in gold from South America, including a Peruvian
idol and an armlet and plate of considerable value. A specimen
of penannular gold ring money was contributed by another
number. _ •

Mrs. M‘Nicol, who occupied the upper part of the houe of
Mr. Grindley, chemist, of Pall-mall, as a lodging-house,
committed suicide by throwing herself out lof the ,upper
garret-window, from the parapet. She fell upon her back,
lifeless. She was immediately conveyed to the Charing-
cross Hospital, waiting an inquest to be held on her. The
cause assigned for this rash act is from adwrse eircutn-
'-,
an execution being about to be carried into effect for arrears
of rent, &c. Her husband, who was formerly steward of
the Reform Club, is DOW in America.
