be all of different banks, for when the prisoner was turn-
ing them over to select the two to be engraved, he had
an opportunity of looking over them, and did not see any
two alike. The prisoner also produced some gold coins,
and asked him if he struck dies for them, but he replied
in the negative. He also asked if he could change the

number on the note from 5 to 7 dollars ; and on his re-
plying that it could be done, but that it would make the
note smaller, be said not to mind it. He further stated
that notes were to be done for all the different banks, and
that he (witness) would get them to do if that one was
done right. It was only on the previous day that the
prisoner got the plate from him. The plate was made in
furtherance of the orders given by the prisoner.
Mr. Curran, as counsel for the prosecution, said it oc-
curred to him that the prisoner was in connection with
other parties, for whom he was only the agent. He con-
sidered, therefore, that it would be highly desirable to
have the matter sifted to the bottom, and for that purpose
he considered it would be advisable to remand the pri-
soner for some time previous to sending the case for trial
at commission.

Mr. Porter concurred in the view, and remanded the
prisoner to that day week.

ARCHAOLOGICAL INSTITUTE OF GREAT BRITAIN AND
IRELAND.—The Arcbmological Institute this year holds
its annual meeting at Newcastle. The two counties of
Northumberland and Durham each abound in archeolo-
gical attractions. Their monumental architectnre may
be viewed as embodying the spirit of the middle ages in
its two grandest and most impressive types of chivalric
and ecclesiastical magnificence. The castellated strong-
holds of Northumberland were once the bulwarks of the
English border against hostile ravages, and are now the
appropriate ornaments of a district which has furnished
England with many of its bravest champions, from the
days of the Percies to those of Collingwood. Alnwick,
Warkworth , and Bamborough present, in the vastness of
their dimensions and the grandeur of their construction,
evidences of feudal power and pomp, such as can hardly be
paralleled elsewhere in England. Hexham is remarkable
as the seat of one of our most ancient bishoprics, of which
a splendid monument survives in the minster. Durham,
as an episcopal principality, is proud of its noble cathe-
dral, of its famous monastic remains of Jarrow (the resi-
dence of Venerable Bede and the scene of his labours)
and Tynemouth—as well as of several fine churches of
the second order, and especially those of Houghton-le-
spring and Chester-le-street. Nor are any counties more
conspicuous for the extent and abundance of their Roman
remains, the wall of Hadrian offering a series of well-
defined stations, which have always well rewarded the
labour of excavation, and from which further discoveries
of interest may be expected. Newcastle itself is particu-
larly well adapted for the meeting of such a congress as
has now assembled within it, and though little but its
name of Ponts Nelii remains to connect it with the age of
Roman domination in Britain, the keep and other vestiges
of its castle, as well as of its fine churches, assert its claim
to mediaeval distinction. The business of the meeting
commenced on Tuesday. Lord Talbot de Malahide was
called upon to preside in the unavoidable absence of his
Grace the Duke of Northumberland. During the week,
many objects of antiquarian interest were visited, and
the evenings numerous antiquarian papers were read and
discussed.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.-THURSDAY.

DONCASTER ST. LEGER.
4 to 1 agst Mr. Bowes's Daniel O'Rourke,
sto 1 Mr. J. Scott's Songstress.

MANCHESTER.-FRIDAY.

There was a very thin attendance this morning, and
business was exceedingly dull. Scott's two favourites for
the St. Leger alternately change places in the betting.
Daniel O'Rourke's defeat at York, instead of sending
him back in the market, as was the case with Newminster
when defeated for the same event last year, has, if any-
thing, left him in a firmer position, and rather a better
favourite than he was previous to his essay at York,
Songstress, who, on Tuesday last, was supported at any-
thing over 3 to 1, had no friends yesterday at 4 to 1 ; while
7 to 2 was the most that could be obtained about Daniel
O'Rourke. A few horses were invested upon for the Ce-
sarewitch, Scarecrow being the most in demand.
