ANCIENT COINS. On Friday the 28th of March, 1817, two 

 Urns, containing a great quantity of Roman copper coins, were 

 turned up by the plough on a farm called Little Madeley Parks, in 

 this couuty, the property of the Right Honourable Lord Crewe, and 

 in the occupation of Mr. Joseph Taylor. The urns were unfortu- 

 nately destroyed, but many of the coins are in excellent preserva- 

 tion, particularly one of Dioclesian, in the possession of James 

 Poole, Esq. of Finney Green, who has favoured us with the follow- 

 ing description of several of the most perfect specimens amongst 

 them. The pieces of Constantine are also very fine. An ancient 

 horse-shoe, and a curious key, were likewise discovered at the 

 same time, and are preserved by Mr. Thomas Mayer, jun. of 

 Newcastle :
