SPLENDID IMPERIAL PRESENT.-His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Russia has been graciously pleased to present to Sir Edward Thomason, as a token of his Majesty's approval of Sir Edward's services, and for the manner in which he sustained, for twenty years, the appointment of Russian Vice-Consul at Birmingham, a munificent present of the grand collection of bronzed medals struck in Russia during the last 980 years, in commemoration of the principal events in the history of that great empire :—namely, of the reign of Ruric, 861; Oley, 879; Igor, Olgar, Sviatoslav, Yaropolk, Vladimir, Suiatopolk, Yaroslav, Isiaslav, Yaropolk II., Vsevolode, Igor II., Vladimir II., Mstislaf, Yaropolk II., Viatcheslaf, Vsevolode II., Isiaslav II., Yury, Andrey, Vsevolde III., Constantine, Yury II., Yaroslav II., Alexander, Yaroslav III., Vassili, Dimitri, Andrey II., Daniel I., Michael, Yury III., Alexander II., Ivan I., Simeon, Ivan II., Dimitri II., Dimitri III., Vassili II., Vassili III., Ivan III, Vassali IV., Ivan IV., first Izar, Theodore, Boris, Theodore II., Uladislas, Michael, Alexey

VOL. II. A A

1841. Theodore III., Ivan V., Peter the Great, Catherine L., Peter II., Anne, Ivan V., Elizabeth, Peter III., Catherine II., Paul, Alexander, Nicholas the present Emperor. Above three hundred of the collection are of the largest class, measuring three inches in diameter, the whole constituting about four hundred and fifty in number, and arrived in the highest state of preservation. They exhibit the various periods of the improvements made in the numismatic art. The case containing this unique and invaluable collection was opened in the presence of many learned antiquarians, who were unanimous in opinion that those of the present century will ever be distinguished, both in invention and execution, as superior to those constituting the celebrated series of Napoleon.Hereford Journal, May 19.

"Though I have been familiar with the town and neighbourhood of Dublin for twenty years, yet I never visited the Museum until yesterday. The longer one lives, the wiser one grows, says the proverb; and certainly I am wiser to-day than I was yesterday. Yesterday I was not aware the le Grande Napoleon had ever conquered England, but to-day I have no doubt of the fact. The following is the inscription on this marvellous piece of copper: - Au droit est la tete de Napoleon, et au reverse Hercule (meaning Napoleon), soulevant de la terre et etouffant entre ses bras une figure moitie homme et-moitie poisson (signifying England)' Underneath this, 'Descente en Angleterre.
