It is a , 'florin; so perfect m forth and appearance that it was- only on the closest "scrutiny, and ringing the coin, the the counterfeit could be detected. Persons receiv- • ing change will therefore require to . exercise very great caution m examining .the florin pieces they receive. The Chronicle notices two beautiful specimens of oil painting on silk, now on vit:w--at Messrs Tingey's shop, in.' Wauganiii; They are intended, to be placed m the. upper, pannels of a door, and are, we believe, tho work of a lady living lit Halcombo.
