A POLITICIL RELIC... ye have seen a curious
copper medal which was recently found in the reams)
euttin; at Tackley. It is rather larger than a ba'f-
crown, but thinner ; and
is a ca-icature
_of events
which occurred more than a century since. A con.
siderable, portion of the edgeone is carroded and decayed,
so that the whole of the leg
side is a gentleman in the dress of the time cf George I
or IL, and with, him a certain " old gentleman,"
whose immediate domain is not mentionable to "ears
re Ute;" the latter, pitchfork in hand, is leading the
former by a halter which is round his neck; and the
inscription is, "I am come for Sir Robert." At the foot
aro the remains of the word " Excise." The caricature,
no doubt, refers to Sir Robert Walpole, who was
Prime Minister in the reign of George 11., and who,
about 1743, introduced the first really effective Ex
cise laws. On the reverse of the medal are the figures
of Sir Robert Walpole and Admiral Vernon, political
opponents, with a ship in the distance, and a suvreaded
crown above. This probably has rt ferenee to the taking
of Porto Bello. The Admiral, jeering Sir Robert, said
he could take the place with six shipe. Sir Robert took
him at his word, and dispatched him with that number,
and with very few troops, we think less than 300. The
gallant Admiral kept his word, and reduced the place.
The legend on thi, side is not to be deciphered, except-
irL', the word " Vernon."—Banbury Guardian.
SOMETUING NEW IN GAS DARING.—We are in-
formed that a Mr. Wilkinson, cf Crrimesthorpe near
Sheffield, has invented a gas-making apparatus, that will
produce 9,000 cubic f. et of gas from one ton of coals,
and is so constructed that any steady labourer may ma-
naqe it with as little trouble as trimming the oil-lamps
required to give the same amount of light. Mr. Wil-
kinson sa3s, that good gas may be obtained at less than
2s. per 1,000 cubic feet.—Mining Journal.

sists in clean and perfectly safe shaving. The Patent
Invention combines the following gre. t and essential
advautages over every other razor manufactured. It.
can be used by all men—by the bold,st as well as the

candle or glass—on board ship in the heavies t sea, and
will, without irrita,loe, with great rapidity, effectually
remove the beard, itnrerceptibly, with celerity and case,
and not cut the skin. Thole nho have never previously

[ADVERTISEMENT.] —An infallible remedy are
Holloway's Pills for the Cure of Coughs, Colds, end Asthma..
—There are daily so many undeniable proofs of the efficacy of
Holloway's Pills in the cure of diseases of the chest, arising
either from old coughs, recent colds, wheezings, or shortness of
breath, that all persons, whether young or old, suffering from
such complaints, should have immediate recourse to these in-
valuable pills, as a short trial will show their extraordinary
powers. Many persons who were scarcely able to draw their
breath, and apparently almost at death's door, have been com-
pletely cured by this remedy, to the astonishment of those who
