While the workmen were lately opening 
some ruins in the mansion of Joiin Fioyd, 
esq. near Redb.urn, they discovered below 
the foundation of an old wall, a leaden box, 
measuring three feet i.n length, by two feet 
and a half in breadth, in perfect condition, 
and strongly secured by an antique kind of 
padlock, which v/as not forced but with great 
difficulty. When opened, it contained se¬ 
venty-two copper medals, each weighing 
three ounces and a quarter, all in a high state 
of preservation. The devices on them, which 
are throughout the same, are, on one side, 
the figure of a dying warrior, supported in 
the arms of two men in complete armour, 
and several others standing weeping round. 
In the back ‘ground, a battle raging: the 
fnotto of Duke et decorum est pro patrld 
morip* surrounding the whole. On the re¬ 
verse, a Roman triumph, with no less than 
ll5 figures distinctly visible. Along with 
the medals were four beautiful lamps, made 
of a composition chiefly silver} two small 
daggers most curiously wrought} five human 
figures in solid gold, suppos-ed to represent 
the penates. There was also a wooden box, 
contained in the leaden, fourteen inches in 
length, and apparently solid, which, when 
exposed to the air, crumbled into du.'t. A 
mutilated scroll was discovered, but too 
much disfigured by time for any of its con¬ 
tents to be legible, save a few detached sen¬ 
tences, which are of an amatory description. 
The weather proving favourable, the at¬ 
tendance ijpon the Workington: Me£t- 
5 NG was larger than at any former one. 
Strangers, from all quarters of the United 
Kingdom, were attracted to view the great 
improvements of the Schoofe farm, and par¬ 
take of the festivities of the meeting. Wed¬ 
nesday the party viewed the Schoofe and 
Moor Close farms, and several of those ad¬ 
joining. The improvements, since the last 
meeting, were striking. The clovers were 
admired by all. The condition of the soiled 
cattle and milch cows, surprized even those 
most convinced of the advantage of the sys¬ 
tem. Thursday, eighteen ploughs started at 
Moor Close. The number of persons, the 
splendid assemblage of carriages and horse¬ 
men, presented a scene rarely equalled. The 
party afterwards visited Mr. Curwen’s New 
Winning, near the shore, where an engine of 
160 horse power is putting up, the greatest 
ever erected. The president’s dinner was 
numerously attended. Between 600 and 
500 sat down. Above 1000 people attended 
in the assembly room, where the premiums 
were distributed by the president. The show 
of cattle Was greater than in former years.
