Whe Gald Discoveries and the Huglish Royo! ym the Londen Economist, of Warch 5 ) Areturo, which, at the present moment is of pecu- Bar interest, has just been issued by the House of Com- mons. It comprises an account of all the moneys coined at the Royal Mint, in each year, since 1848, the ag- ate amount of which, in the five years, was as £19, + 561.594 12,308 senses cone 10,838 375 But the pec terest which this return possesses ia, first, co far ag it shows the rapid progress which the eoinage has made; and, ygcond, in relation to the ecent searcity of silver coin, how far it can be traced to the limited operations of the mint. For these pur- mes it te, however, necessary that we should examine detail the produce of each year. then, the eoinuge of gold has been as follows :— 22,451,999 1840. 2177, 906 1860, 2 1,491'886 f 4)400,411 that of the entire £19 264,497 ; y no less then £13,142 (81 was coined in | the two last years. In 1848 the amount coined was con. dderable, being £2.451.909. Hut it will be remembered That in the preceding year (i847) a yery large efllux of took place, and left the Baok of England reduced the minimum point at which it could conduct its busi peas. Early in 184 in the exchanges and the @isturbances on the continent led toa yery large influx of qld, and tos considerable coinage, in order te Ply the place of the coin exported the preceding year ; and there is no doubt that the coinage of that year far exceeded the average of the preceding years, But the transactions of the mint during the two last years have deen of an entirely novel kind and have arisen from eauses totally unconnected with our internal circulation or vith the state of the exchanges between this and other corntiies. They have arisen cbiefly, and so far as they exceed the ordinary average, entirely, from the resent gold discoveries in California aud Australia, and to supply geld in the shape of coin, as being more market. ble for | gsowe purpores, that it would have been as bullion. It is ) understood that the bank bas received in little more than | ‘two years nearly £14,000.000 of coin into its vaults, and that at the present woment, notwithstanding the great @pereare of bullion, in the aggregate, that which consists of coin is less by half million than at the commencement @f the period, So that it is apparent that in about two years a sum equal to nearly £15,000, 000 has been exported in the shape of Fnglish coin. No doubt a considerable portion, probably not less than one-half of the whole of this large a@mecunt hos gone to Australia. But it is alsocertain that avery large amount, fully equal to the other half, has Been expor'ed to various foreign countries, where E lish sovereigns have acquised # certain value asa circu- Aativg medium, and where, therefore, they have a some- what higher price than bar gold. Ta wany countries in Europe, Englich sovereigns may be considered as one of mest convenient coins for all ordinary purposes. In Fayp" they have become almost the chief circulating me- @ium. Insome of the South American States the sove- | reign is the best accredited coi nd atmost everywhere | it bas so high a character for tegrity, that it consti- | tates more and more & favorite mode of remittance. | But it must be apparent that if this state of things in | Telation toour coin and the demand upon our montis | to continue and even extend, the character and func. | tion of that establishment will be entirely changed; and | dm such a way as will render it imperative that the prin- | Giples upon which its expenses are defrayed should be | reconsidered. Of lute the pressure upon the mint has deen great, and the expenses have been necessarily in- | ereased, not as we have shown witha view to supply an | internal circulating mediom, but mainly in order to attach a new and additional value to pane for the pur pose of exportation. Now, so long a3 a mint is main tained exclusively for the convenieuce of the country. 50 Jong it works wainly to supply an internal circul: medium, it really matters little whether the expenses , are paid by the public from the erchequer, or whether they are made a -mall charge the coin itself, In either care the country ot large bears the cost of a public imstrument of great convenience. No doubt there are mapy reasons, aud especially when we require to rect an adverse exchange why itis desirable that the coit the realm shoud contain the same intrinsic value that it perse-ses nominally; and, therefore, that the cost of the mint should rather be defrayed, as at present, from the | public exchequer, than by seignorage upon the the coin. But if the Koyal Mint on Tower Hill is to become a great manufactory of coins for various foreign countries, as it has been during the last two years, it will soon be- ome obvious that there is no good reason why the peo- ple of England should continue to defray the cost of that @stabli-Lment. It will become a matter of serious con sideration whether that cost should not be defrayed by a charge on the coin equivalent at least to its amount. The silver coinage has amounted to £5: rs, in the foliowing proportion in ea 51,594 in the ‘The large amount of = r coinage dur 5 eompared with any former year, at least shows that the great inconvenience which has been experienced from a | Seareity of silver coin has not arisen from any decline in | The work of the mint, notwithstanding the great addi- | ional. work which it has been called upon to perform in | 2 the last year, furnishing gold coin.

Turkey. CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE LATE TREATY WITH AUS- TRIA-—RUSSIAN MOVEMENTS, We have further accounts of the arrangement come to between Austria and Turkey. Cn 12th ult. a divan was held at Constantinople, at ‘which all the high dignitaries of the Jand, both in and out of office, were assembled. After a long snd stormy debate the Austrian propositions were accepted. Omer Pasha is immediately to withdraw his troops from Montenegro, which is to retain its former independent position. The Hungarian and Polish ves serving in the Rauvelian army corps are to be dismniesed directly, and the Porte has consented to pay 0,00€ piastres asan indemnification for the claims of Austrian subjects on the Bosnians and Herzegovines. Kleck and thefSutorina , will still belong 'te the Porte, thovgh more in name than reality, as it bas relinquished the right to erect fortifications on them, and to approach them by sea. The claim of Austria to protect the Catho- lic Christians in the western provinces of Turkey was for the moment waived, as it was not one of the catego- tical demands. It is believed that the Sultan will be obliged to dismiss bis cabinet, in order to satisfy the ultra-Turki-» party, which is highly enraged that the Porte has yielded to Austria. Another statement says that the four million piastres promised io Austria are only for the unadjusted claims of her rubjects; the sum claimed for repayment of du- ties levied contrary to treaty on Austrian goods is much larger. The loss arising from the prohibition to export timber from Bosnia and the Herzegovini has still to be made good, A contract, it appesrs, exists between the Porte and come Austrian subjects, which secures to the Jaiter the exclusive right of naviga’ing the large river Nayenta, which, coming from the very heart of the Her- zegovini reaches the Austrian territory near Gaba Ga- bella, runs across Dalmatia, and falls into the Adriatic not far from Kleck. The Austrian government is fully alive to the importance <f such a contract. Prince Mevzikoff, Russian envoy, had arrived at Con- stantipople.

Before Commissioners Hon. Aaron Vanderpoel, M. H. Ranney and Dr. Phillips, in the Sherift’s office. On Mon tay evening, at five o’elock, the above commis. sioners, appointed by the Supreme Court to inquire into the lunaey of Mr. George Doughty, a gentleman possessed of considerable property near the town of Flusbing, Queens county, with Sheriff's jury numbering twenty- four gentlexcen, proceeded to investigate this case, The lunatic, who is at present confined in the Bloomingdale Lunatic Asylum, was not in attendance, his medical ad- visers being of opinion that he was in too critical a state to be brought up. The jury having been sworn, Mr, John J. Latting, who appeared in support of the petition, sail—The leading features of thia case are, that Mr Doughty, who is a respectable farmer, residing at Flush- ing, Long Istand, and who is a man of very nervous tem: perament, as I am informed, durivg the prevalence of the spiritual rappers here, became acquainted with one or more of them, and was so influenced by them as to un- seat his mind, and become ineapable of managing his affairs. The full particulars of this matter will be stated to you by the witnesses, so that it will be unnecessary for me to go into them here. Mr. John Williams, having been sworn, deposed as fol- lows:—I reside in the city of Brooklyn: 1 know George Donghty; 1 have been acquainted with him since my | childhood; I am related to bis family; he married my sister; within the last year discovered indications of his being out of his mind; ‘at that time he became interested in the subject of what is called spirit rappings;” he took considerable interest in the investixation of the mat- ter, ashe called it, and in ro doing became acquainted with a medium who professed to heve spiritual communi cations; among other syirits with whom she commu cated was that of Mr. Doughty’s brother; this ap- peared to interest him so mich, and disorganized his mind to such an extent, that he was uot alone insane upon those matters, but upon others also; the first time I knew he had: piritunl communications with his brother was about six months ago; be became very much inter- exted aud excited; this brother had been dead say about ten years; he told m@that within the last three months ast he hid had a spiritual communication coming from is brother, through this medium, directing him (Doughty) to advance the medium a sum of $5,000. Judge Vanderpoel—That I suppose made a pretty largo hole in his property? Tre witness—Yes, it did; and at another time the me- dium had directed him to’ purchase some patent, by a coxntmunication from the spirit, of iia brother. Q.—Was it a patent in which sheor her friends had any interest in selling? A—Yea, it was a patent that a por son had whom the medium was connected with; the spirit, through her, directed Doughty to pay another sum of money for that patent, which he did, ‘amounting to £8,000; be also had a communication, but I am not posi- tive that it came from this particular medium, although I think he said so, which stated that he was to be Post- master General (langhter), and he told me he was pre- parirg to goto Wasbington. and that ho had named | postmasters for different cities throughout the Union. | (Laughter ) | Judge Vanderpoel—Did he tell you who was to be post- marter here? A.—Yes, sir. Jucge Vanderpocl—Well, we do not care about knowing | that. (Laughter.) ‘The witness—Tthe postmaster hore was to be a colored man whom he had brought up (renewed laughter); | Doughty is between 60 and 60 years of age. Judge Vanderpocl—I want to know if this medium isin this vicinity, or found it convenient to goelsewhere? A.— The last I heard of her was by a telegraphic despatch, about a weck since, and then rhe was upon a steamboat going from Pittaburg to Saint Louis, By a Juror—Her name is Mrs. French. Examination continued—He mortgaged his property to ay the $5,000; I know he got a mortgage about the time | e paid the medium; in fact, he toldz1e he had mort- | gaged his property, and paid her $4,000; he assigned bonds and mortgages to raise the $8,000; he did not sub- | mit toa discount. but deposited them as collateral secu- rity, and then raised the money; I think the amount de- posited was about $10,000; I know that he had bonds and | mortgages to about that amount, and I know that they are gone. Mr. Latting—Has he told you about any other commu- nications? 4.—Yes: and ho has had many in writing, not indepen- dent of this medium. Judge Vanderpocl—Did be express any fixed plan or urpose which the parting with his money was to lead to? Bide avow any innnediate or ulterior purpose? A —In the first place, he said he adopted this medium asa daughter. Mra Freneh is about thirty-five or forty, and married. Ido not know whether she is a lady or not. (Lavghter.) Doughty has three ebiidren living ‘and one ead. 1 tofd him that he ought not to pay the $5,000. He told me that he had given Mrs. French papers of adop- tion, and made over his property to her, and then he raid he had taken back these papers, and given her $5,(100 in lieu of them, as directed by the spirit of his brother Benjamin, through her. Judge Vanderpeel. Has he sought any other media or communications after this wornan was gone? ‘A.—Yes, that seemed to be his object; his mind was welling upon the subject al the time; he’ said that he was going to bring about a new order of things, and that the subject of spiritual communications was one worthy of investigation, He neglected his farming matters and aver ritcog elve connected wita his business, to attend to | this; he had some communications from ‘his deceased | davgbter, through this Mrs. French; his daughter has been dead three or six months ; she was twonty years old when she ; they were communications respecting her state of happiness, and matters of that kind generally. Judge Vanderpoel —Communications respec’ her happiness in the spirit land ? sees A.—Yes, sir; and in fuet he had communications upon all subjects concerning his faring matters; he relied, he said, upon these communications, and would not take advice from any one else: when he got the advice of his angelic brother, as he called him, he would act upon it; he told me this, and I undertook to advise him, aud told him he was being led astray. Mrs. French Joft the eit; inmedistely after she got ie last $8,000, (laughter.> which was about four weeks ago, and I suppose, is ene ceavoring to keep out of the way; the patent that he got was for covering iron with copper ; I have taken pains | to write to Pittsburg and inquire as to the existence | of such ® patent, and find that there is such an one, but it is supposed to be good for nothing ; the person who | sold the patent to Doughty was travelling with the me- diums and was stopping with her atthe Irving House; the patient is stopping now in the Bloomingdale Lunatic Asylum ; he has prefessed to have received written com- munications from his deceased brother ; I have seen such communications ; I have seen the handwriting of his Urother, but I never to my knowledge saw him write ; they were written by the hand of Mra. French ; Doughty saw Mra. French write these communications; he sai that his brother had used Mrs. Fronch’s hand in writing the communications, yet he would swear they were in the hanawriting of his brother ; his mind has been queer for a number of years back: he got very much excited upon the subject of abolitionism for instance ; and he stated to me that all the slaves in the United States were | to be liberated within the noxt four years ; hia sister and father were insane : his sirter died in the Bloominzdalo Lunatic Asylum; Ihave collected rents for him; he has a farm in Flushing. and some other lands there worth $12,000; | perhaps more: he has a house and lot at the corner of Anthony and klm streets; bid in for $3 600, leased for £50 per year; worth $5 or $6,000. In Brocklyn, he has three houses in Court street, worth $3,600 each: rent for $400 each; another house on Baltle strect, woggh $3,0°0; rents for $300 also; he had bonds and mortgages to the amount of about $10,000; $1,000 in bank stock; his farming stock, say about $1,000; Isuppose about $9,090 in notes, say $8 000; this is independent of any moncy he raised for the medium; I understand he assigned the bonds and mortgages to raise the $8,000, and mortgaged two houses in Court street, Brooklyn, to raise the $5,000. Mortgazen of $600 on the woodland; two other mortgazos, one for $1,200, and the other, $3,000, on the homeate: farm; mortgages are on the Brooklyn houses for $2,300; he owes another little balance of about $400; the mort gage on the Court srteet property was given about six wonths azo, to raise the money to pay,to Mrs. French: ihe bonds and mortgages to raise the $5,000, were assigned about a mouth ago; since he parted with this money his mind hos been upset : he has a wife living; her name is Harriet, aged about 45 years; he has three ehildren living—Mary Elizabeth, about 16; Georgiana, about 14; Benjamin, about 6 years, anda child of a deceased daugh- ter, Margaret Anné, name Nicholas George Hallock; sho left a husband, Nicholas Hallock. Dr David J. Brown sworn:—I am physician of the Tuna- tie Avylum at Bloomingdele; the alleged lunatic ia in the institution at prevent; has been there since the 18th Feb- ruary; his mind is very much distressed on some points; I deemed ft imprudent to bring bim here, for I thought it would have a bad effect upon him; ho is easily excited; he is a yery nervous man; Thaye no doubt as to his being a lunatic; he believes in having received spiritual com- munications from his deceared brother, and is very much ogitated if the truth and reality of them are questioned; he believes that Mrs. French {s an honest woman and that the mon who was her associate was an honest m: Dovghty aid he believed that the written communi tions were in the handwriting of his deceaced brother. Judge Vanderpoel Di he explain to you how it was that the exact handwriting of the deceased brother could Le imitated hero below ? 4—No; he fs unwilling to proceed to particalars tn that reepeet, and says that no person can understand him unless he is indoctrinated ; he told ine that if I in- quired in a right spirit, I ehould arrive at the same con- clusion as himself, but’ that he could not explain it to me unless I ¥as ina proper vein to understand it; Mrs, French, he said, wrote a very bad hani, and ho saw her try to write well but that ‘she was unable to dy 10, (laughter,) but that when urder the influence of the tpirit, she wrote precisely like his brother ; I blamed him for parting with his money; I should not have talked to him upon there subjects unloss he had introdneed them himself, or that it was necessary for mo to have some conversation with him in ordvr to be able to testify here. fichard 8, Williams, sworn:—It was not until the 15th of last month that I was apprised of these acta of fraud; Donghty was naturally man, and even stingy. (The balance of Mr. Williams’ testimony was merely cor- roborative of Mr. John Williams. } John J.

This closing the ovidence, nderpoel said:—Gon- tlemen, there can be no dow t this case, and itis not necersary for the commissioners to charge you upon it. ‘The parties then retired from the room, leaving the joy in consultation t eight o'clock the jury rendered a verdict of lunacy, and also said that the ‘p y of Mr. Doughty, (valu at $20,000,) consisting of | Mr. Morrison’a, Ne. ouses and lott Bresklyn, and a farm or Long Island, bank stock, &¢., shoul! be ually divided between his wife, Mrs. Harrfot Do Stes ry oa Doughty, need 1 years; Milan Doughty, n ears; min G Dony ened years, and a pk eh named Niches G. al , in the event of his (Mr. Doughty’s) death.

THE MOCK AUCTIONS CASE—PLEA OF. GUILTY. ‘The District Avtorney staied to the Court that, with re- ference to the defendant James Woods, against whonz two indictments had been foand, he was quite satisfied, from the evidence on Shepherd's trial, he could not be convicted on the ore for fate pretences, and that on the other, for larceny, he had consented to take a plea of guilty of peti: larceny. In Teply to an inquiry by Mr. Clark, the prosecutor, the Court said they could not sanction anything like an ur- rangement outri e, by which the defendant should eom- penszte him. That anything paid him for his time and Mer ariaseioals cule enrne teams Cote ta pursuance of the statute; but at the same time there could be no ob- jection to his receiving back any money that had beer obtoined of him. The Be of the defendant Woods was then taken, and Judge Beebe said the Court, satisiitd that the principal parties had been reached, and that he was only a person employed in a subordinate capacity, had determined, in- stead of sending him io prisoa, to infliet a fine only, which they fixed at one hundred dollars.
