 ] Platina is perhaps the most unchangcabe and
 indestructible substance on the face of the globe. h the beginning, when the quantity was small. l it was considered the most valuable of almetals: lately, however, It's price has considerably fal- len. This is in consequence of it's discovery in 1 the Ural mountains. whose chain extending from the borders of the Frozen Ocean, terminates near the sources of the River Wolga. From this source it has been obtained in sufficient quantity to be turned into coin.
 The pieces arc beautiful and exquisitely wrought. They have not the splendor of silver, aor the mild lustre of gold, but have lustrc somewhat between polished iron and tin. The impression of the die is very sharp and distinct. 50 that the execution is in. very high style. On ohe side is the two headed spread eagle of Aaseoyy, with the globe in thelel claw and the sceptre in the right, and small crowns on the heads: these are surmounted by large imperi- al crown. The armorial bearingsand other de vices on the body and wings bear examination with the magnliyiag glass. There are no let ters on this side. On the reverse are explana- tions of inc value, date, and occasion. but no head of an autocrat, or any other great person.
 They are said to be issued by the govern ment, and to be received at the treasur, for taxes, imposts, rents, and all other dues. They are calculated in silver roubles. Now, asilyer ronble is worth seventy-seven cents of our mo- aey, so that six roube pieceis worth four dol lars and sixty-two cents, and consequently q three rouble piece half the money.

NEW RUSSIAN COIN.


 We have been shown the platina coins men toned in the following communication. The dies are bueatifu, and romthe nature of the me tai must preserve the sharpness and distinctness of the impression longer than either gold or sl- yer. The SIX roublc piece mentioned below, and estimated at the value of four dollars and sixty cents, is about the size of a cent. Plat- na being the most ponderous of ali metals, the coins couldnotb tbe coanterfeted without the fraud being easily detected.
 ihe metel Platiea enaploged os nlonied Cur reney.-Ths curious production is said to be heavier than gold. It was originally brought from Soath America, where the grains of which it consists were picked up in certain alIuvial districts. But the quantity was small. Still itwas considerable enough to be formed into mirrors for rejecting Telescopes, crucibles, laboratory spoons, touch holes for fire arms, eyaporating vessels, pendulums, pyrometers, and measures of length. lt had often been mentioned as proper material for coin, but does, not appear, anfl lately, to have been used for that purpose t IS now regularly issued from the mint: but while enterprsing Spain, scientific France, and ingenious England, have omitted to make it a circulating medium, industrious Russia has ta- ken the lead in the business. The following aote from Il. Warner. Esq. to Dr. Mitchell con- tains valuable information on the subject.

ON THE DEATH OF MARY.
 Alas! how chang altered is the scene And can itbe, O, Mary hast thou gone2 Hast thou forever fed thy friends embracef Forever hast thou gone from earthly chimes hle!hinks hear the echo of Jhy voice SGil ling'ring on my ear, with accents sweet; And see thy lovely, smiling coumtenaDce, Aad brilliant eyes, fair index of thy mind, Still beaming mild with innocence and love. How short thy race, aud yet, how noble 'twas- a.ke the young rose, expanding its rich folds, AndOpening wide to zephyr's gentle breeze, Til nipp'd by early frost, it perished--- So didst thou wit,er, lovely amaranh; Yes, death has hurl'd at thee his chilling dart, And thou hast sped to meet thy God above. But though thy beauty mOulders tn the dust-- Though thy poor spirit g gone to dwell on high, Still mem'ry lives thy faithful chronicler; a. The pride aud consolation oflhy friends. The recollection ofihy worth remains Deep planted tn our breasts, and seems 10 tell The story ofIhy life and death anew. Why do we mourn thy death ? why weep for thee We would not call thee from thy happy seat, Again to wander in this dreary world Again to taste tshitter cup of wo And to endure it's ills second time. .. .. ;. No! but since God ordains, let us submit- And rather wish ourselves with thee in Heaven, Than thee with us earth. R.
