HALF-CROWNS AND FLORINS .
To the Editor of The Times . Sir , —I learn from your columns that the Deputy-Master of the Mint invites information as to the respective merits of florins and half-crowns . As an employer disbursing each day a very considerable amount of wages , I most earnestly deprecate the withdrawal from circulation of the half-crown .
If this useful coin be withdrawn I shall require for the daily payment of wages a far larger number of sixpenny bits than I am now ever able to obtain . But even if the number of sixpenny bits in circulation were increased to the fullest extent , I should still infinitely prefer the use , wherever practicable , of tho half-crown , as being more rapidly counted in bulkand more readily handled by the chilly fingers
, of pay clerks and the horny hands of labourers than corresponding amounts iu florins and sixpenny pieces . In fact , for every half-crown withdrawn from circulation public convenience will necessitate the issue of a sixpenny bit , and the question therefore appears to be not between the half-crown and the florin so much as between the sixpenny bit and the half crown .
1 ours obediently , Southwark , Jan . 3 . A . C . S . TUB Eev . Isaac Taylor claims to have discovered the key to the Etruscan language , and , in a paper read before tho Philological Society , has given some account of his researches . The language , he believes is of the Tatar , or Finnish , or Altaic family , and the theory of its grammar and orthography which he has formed agrees marvellously with know facts .
