TO THE EDITOR OP THE STAR.

Sts—The statement which has been in your Journal et
today, of a great number of edictal sad some canvass, being
found In the cupboard, where a trifling accident occurred here yes,
terday, untrue.
I antinduced to trouble yen with this, and to beg your insertion of
it, to remove any uneasiness which may exist in the minds of the
proprietors and others interested in the preservation of those dom.
menu, which are always kept in a fire-proof room. In ether se.
spects, the story is much exaggerated.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,

A new coinage of gold, silver, and copper, has just
been completed at the Mint. Four or five of the prin-
cipal bankers bad each one set as a specimen, and no
more. A set consists of one 51. piece, one 21. piece, a
U. piece, and a 10s. piece (gold); a ss. piece, a half-
crown piece, a Is. and a 6J. (silver); a penny, a hall
penny, and a farthing, in copper. The 51. piece bears
en one side the arms of Great Britain engraved on drso
pert', with the motto Decus et Tutassen, and the date
of the year : on the other side, the head of his Majesty,
similar to the one on the new sovereign. This piece is
supposed to be taken from the forty Liri puce of Palma.
The 21. piece is the same as the above; the It. piece is
also the same, but not engraved on drapery. The ss.
piece, the half-crown piece, the Is. and the 6d. bear the
arms of Great Britain, the same as thue *heady issued.
The penny, halfpenny, and farthing, dated 1826.
Saturday, an Inquest was held at Preshute, near
Marlborough, on the body of Mary Ann Matilda Tay-
lor,who died in consequence of being stabbed by Richard
Thomas, whilst drinking at a public house, as mentioned
in a former Paper. It appeared that the prisoner bor-
rowed a knife of a man in company to mit some bread
and cheese, but soon afterwards stabbed the deceased in
the neck, and ran out of the house. Me was, however,
pursued, and taken. The pour woman died instantly.
Several witnesses were examined, after which the Cora
ner clearly explained the distinction between murder
and manslaughter ; and the Jury, without much delibe-
ration, returned a verdict of—Wilful Murder against
Richard Thomas. It would be difficult to account for
the murder but on the grounds of jealousy. The pri-
soner states, that he had cohabited with the deceased
for upwards of twelve months, and that they had been
at Hungerford for the last fortnight, subsisting on
charity. He owns striking the deceased three or four
times in the mouth with his hand, on the evening pre.
ceding her depth, which drew blood ; but that he was
urged to do it in consequence of her laughing and jeer-
ing at him, which she had never done before.
