\ -ARLT COINS Of AMX1U0A. j an intoroalinfjf pnpcr rcH'l by J. II .ckcox, K?q., beforw the Albntiy Institut Iitnl week, upon " Tho Early Coins of Amer en," we mnko the following extracts : In 1748, Sir Alex. Gumming presented inemorial to Parliament, in which ho pre posed, that in order to preserve tlio deper dcney of the British plantations in Aineric on Great Britain, the current specie of Grca Britain should be raado the curreut lawfi money of the said plantations, and tlu ?200,000 sterling be coined in the Tower fc that purpose, which sum was to be made th foundation of a provincial bank for th British plantations in America, in order t abolish the paper currency of Now Englan and Carolina. The proposition was nc adopted. A coin which it is believed was never i circulation, and of which copies in whit meini are occasionally tunnel, was issued 1 1770. Description : An inch anil a half i diameter. Obverse : a rising nun, shiniti on a dial, and the motto, " Mind your busi ne?s" beneath. In a ring near tho edge? Continental Currency, 1770?and in anotl ?r ring within this, the word "Kngio." lit verse :-thirteen small rings, with the name of tho Slates; on a ring within thcs< "American Congress," and in tho cenlrt " We arc one." During the Confederation, from 1778 t 1787, the law intrusted tlie right ofcoinin money to the individual States as to th General Government. The right was exei cisod to a considerable exti:nl by the and a variety of coins was the result. Ne\ York, New Jersy, Connecticut, Vermoii and Massachusetts issued coins. Most c them were of the cent denomination. 1 Doubloon (gold) was coined in New Yorl in 1787, which is of great rarity?only on copy, I think, in existence, and that in th United States Mint. I have impressions c this coin in wax and plaster, kindly give ine by the late George Newton. The coin of Massachusetts and Vermont bore a variet of devices. TIib " Vnvn nnnclallpitn" r\f 1 stars, and another piece with the same num bcr of rings, were coined in Massachusetts Frobably many of the cents bearing th bust of Washington and the date of 178J as well as those of the same device, but wit! out a date, were put forth at the tiino Another coinage was made during thi period. It consisted of the shilling, sixpcnc and threepence of "J. Chalmers, Annapolis, 1783. They are now rare. The Coustitution of 1787 put an end t all these State issuer, and the authorities sc about to devise a national coinage, W|i!l they were deliberating, Mr. John Harper, c non,l /1!ao ' <-? ? V(?U3VU v* IV/O u\j UC Cil^l rt V UL These dies are said to have been execute by a Gorman, except the lettering, whic Mr. II. probably performed himself. Judg DeSausstire, of South Carolina, is claime to have suggested the head of Washingto as a device. I have seen an extract of a lc ter from L. Vanuxen to Dr. Lswis C. Becl dated Sept. 28, 1846, in which he says"Judge DeSaussure, of S. C., told me ho ws Ihe first director of the mint, and had th ' head of Washington put upon the first cent that were coined." From these dies all th Washington cents were struck; and wer manufactured in the cellar of Mr. Ilurper bouse, in Chestnut-street Fbiladelpbia.Those of 1702 were struck on a press in a old coach house in the same street. The following is a description of th cent:?Obverse?A bust of Washingloi with the circular inscrintion. Washino-to I ? o President, and below 1791: on the reven it the American Eagle, with arrows in on claw, a leafy'branch in the other and a scro isaticing from his mouth, and supported o the shoulders with the inscription, "Unui E Pluribua"?"United States of America on the edge, and "one cent" on the reverst This is a likeness of one of the dtsigvfyThere are three varieties which were ui questionably coined at the period indicate by their dates, and hence one and two yeai previous to the issue of the first adopted co[ per coinage. The second issuoof 1791 has the samool erse, except the date is wanting. On tli reverse the mode! of the eaglu is changec Stars are substituted for the motto?a scro and the year, which, in tho lirst specrmei is placed below tha bust, is transferred t the opposite side. The Cent of 1792 is distinguished by ii increased diauieter. The bust is enlarge and under it 1792. The inscription is, ( Washington, President I. The eagle o the reverse is much larger but of a simih model. The words " One Cent" do not aj pear on this specimen. A few of tbes were struck in silver and are known as tli Washington Half Dollar. More than t\v - r' hundred copies of these three issues wei stamped. The dies were disapproved of an rejected by both Washington and Congres ?they were destroyed aud the pieces will drawn. , PnniiiAa ?'? ?- - ' * uitio uwiii irgumrijr coinca I the United States Mint from the year .1701 exeept in the year 1815.

The standards were then reduced. The twenty carat pieces were n stamped North Carolina gold, tho twenty e one carat Carolina gold, and the twenty two n carat Georgia guld. The goldwas probably n all raised in North Carolina. Tho amount 5 of Mr. Beclitier's coinage in 1840 was stated at 82,241,840. Docs One's Style of \\ritlkin(/ Indicate his Character ??Fowler says that those whose motions aro awkward yet easy posse-s , much efficiency and positiveness of charac, ter, yet lack polish; and just in proportion as tlicy become refined in mind will their Q mode of carriage correspondingly improve. ? A short and cinick step indicates a brisk ' 3 ami active, out lather contracted in: J. e ' whereas those who take long steps, generally have long heads; yet if their steps be v slow, they will make comparatively little progress, while those whose step is long r and ijtiick, will accomplish proportionately ^ much, and pass most of tlicir compettors l_ on the highway of life. Their heads and j plans, too, will partake of tiie same far reaching character evinced in their carriage ^ Those who sluf or draw their heels, drag | (i and drawl in everything; while those who j walk with a springing, bounding frtcp, abound in a mental snap and spring. Those . whose walk is minemjr, effected and 3 . artificial, rarely, if ever, accomplish much; whereas those who walk carelessly, that is, naturally, arc juBt what they appear to bc? t and put on nothing for outside show. Those who in walking, roll from sido to side, lack directness of character, and side every way, according to circumstances; whereas those who take a bee lino?that is, e ? whose body moves neither to the right nor left, but strait forward?have a corresponding directness of purpose, and oneness of ^ ch;?n?cter, those also who teeter up and down when they walk, rising an inch or " two every step, will have many corresponding ups and downs in life, because of the ' ilw.:.. : r . . .... j men nrvguiariiy 01 cnaractcr and teelmg. ^ Those, too, who make a great ado in walking, will make much needless parade in ^ everything else, and hence spend a great amount of usclcssncss steam in all they undertake, yet accomplish little; whereas those who walk easily, or expend little ' strength walking, will accomplish great results with a little strength, both mentally and physically, in short, every individual has his own peculiar mode of moving, which exactly accords witli his mental character; so that, so far as you can see such modes* , you can decipher such outline of character" - Integrity of Character.?Who ever u possessed it that did not derive untold advantage from it? It is better than the gold l8 of Ophir; it in of more value than diamonds r, and all nrecious storms. Anrl I i "" * /vv n man may possess it. Tbe poorest may have ?e it, and no power can wrest it from them.? iO To young men, we say with earnestness and ]| emphasis, look at integrity of character n with the blessings it confers, and imbibe i) such principles, and pursue such a course, that its benefits may be yours. It i6 a prize j, so rich that it repays every sacrifice and _ every toil necessary to secure it. Suppose a mercantile community could be found d whoso every individual was known and ac 9 knowledged to possess strict and uncompro y mising integrity; the representation of each other were in strict accordance with truth ; t "his word as good as a bond!" Such a e community would have a monopoly of the I trade, so far as they had the means of supII plying tho demand. "The tricks of the i trade," whatever may be their apparent o advantages, impair confidence, and in the end injure those who practice them far more Lr than they benefit them. It is a sliortsighted, asTwell as a guilty policy, to swerve under any^eircumstances, from those great principles which are of universal and everlasting obligation. Let a man maintain his integrity at all times, and he will bo satisfied there is a blessing in it, and a blessing all around it.?Philadelphia Bulletin. ?

A late English periodical says that in iiint of silo ami antiquity, tlio great ohosnut ca nt Tortworth, in Gloucestershire, seems > rival, if not to surpass, any existing oak r yew tree in Great Britnin. This is tlic ee under which King John held a parlialent, and it has been deemed tho largest ad oldest tree in tho country. As it was eferred to as a boundary mark of tho manor i the reign of Stephen, and was famous in Ling John's time for its magnitude, it was robably a tree in tho time of Egbert, and il nay be much older than even a thousand ears. The circumference of its trunk is uol 2ss than fifty feet at five feet from tlx ;round. This magnitude, however, is great y surpassed by that of the famous trco or lount Etna, 'The Castngno de Cento Ca alii,'which is probably the largest clicsnu ree in the world, and the trunk of which i: [escribed by Brydon as resembling five larg< rees growing together, and having a liolluv avity more than sixty feet in diameter. But the riane trees of Greece seem to boa iway the palm for magnitude.

Roswell F , a Vcr aont lawyer of distinguished ability, ii iow residing in St. Louis, and in the firs ank of the bar of Missouri, had brought : uit in court which was really so plain r ase for the plaintiff, that, having submitcd the papers, and other proofs to th< ourt, he felt that his client's interest realty equired no more, ami he accordingly sal lown without making the customary open tig address to the jury. But the defendnt's counsel more ambitious of rhetorical isplay, and probably conscious that the lefence required the best abilities, rose and uade a long harangue, characterized by an mmense flood of pompous words, as was is custom, but destitute of even an atempt at loeric or reasoning of nnv l-i'nrl ? Vben he bad done, the plaintiffs counsel, ?ho was expected to make an elaborate peech in reply, rose and merely said:?
