It Was thrown there purposely by James II. on the night he fled from White hall, but ,i Itsherm: n accidentally brought it to light some while after ward, and it was restored to the gov ernment. "due of the most undent and. itrangely enough, best preserved ro les whs found in IMin near Water loo bridge," says a historian writing in the Clobe. "This is a Celtic helmet of bronze, more than -' centuries old. The state of its preservation is mar vellous, the ornamentation being al most as unworn as when the helmet was made. In 185ti a bronze shield nf about the same dale was wrested from the river mud mar Rattersea, together with a great number of swords, spears and oilier Weapons. This slliehl is the llllest of Its period In the world. It is 14 inches wide and 110 inches long and is elaborately ornamented with curious red enamel disks. The durability of bronze is evident when we think of the countless tides which swept over it, but were yet unable to destroy the metal, and it is almost Impossible to realize that the owner of such a shield was a savage bar barian, clad only in the skins of wolves and other wild animals which were harbored In thousands by the mighty forests which covered all Eng land. Near Eondon bridge, which has always prove,' a mine of burled treas- ur ,two small Human statuettes were found in 1837. They are bronzes of pollo and Mercury, unfortunately somewhat mutilated and dented, but j sufficiently well preserved to show that both were the work of true art ists and probably famous sculptors ol that day. It is possible, that the early christians, who were responsible for a good deal of damage of the kind, looked upon them as devils, and thought thut by defacing them and cutting off an arm here and a leg there and casting them Into the river I hey would deprive them of any pow er of evil. So many coins of bronze, silver und gold have been found in the Thames that it would require a mighty tome to catalogue them. In 1S41 a number of gold coins were round by a laborer, who eventually sold them to a collector, while some years earlier a great quantity of angels and half sovereigns minted in the reigns of Henry VII. and Henry VIII. were thrown up by a kind of small waterspout. They were claimed by the corporation, and what hap pened to them is not known.
