• 1 LITERATURE, Av. • OF THE CORO7IATION CHAIR AND STONE. • Fr.),n Mr. ARTI:I:7. TAVLO2.'S " Glory of Regality ; an His toril Treatise cs the. Anointing and Crowning of the Kings aatl, Queens of Brgltud"l. Chair on xhich our Kings sit to receive the Cror a is principally remarkable for its marble seat, wit; :h bath acquired no trivial fame, from.: the pens of old historians. Their legends inform' us that this the very stone on which the patriarch Jacob laid his head in the plain of Luz ; that it was brought from Egypt into Spain by Gatbelits, the supposed founder of the Scottish nation (I); that it was thence transported into Ireland " amongst _other princelie iewells and regal] monuments," by Simon Brach, who was crowned upon it about 700 years before the birth of Christ, and that it was thence earned to! .. Scotland by King Fergus, 330 years before the same zia. After such adventures, it will not be surprising that the stone should' once more be removed, and find its way to the Abbey of Westminster (2). Such are the legends relating to the Fatal Stone. But its probable history is so remai kable, and is car ried back to a period so remote, that the aid of fic tion was scarcely wanting to procure it reverence and regard. Mr. 'Nand (3) justly styles this " the, antientest respected monument in the world, for tho' some others may be more antient as to duration, yet thus superstitiously regarded they are not." The object of our inquiries may undOubtedly be traced to Ireland (4). It was most probably one of those stones which the Druids or Priests of the coun try were used to consecrate for particular sacred or political purposes : its place was the hill of Tara, and upon it the Kings of Ireland for many ages re ceived their authority. The Irish names of the stone were, The Fatal Stone, and The Stone of Fortune ; these it probably obtained from a power which it was said to possess of shewing the legitimacy of Royal descent, which it acknowledged by an oracular sound when a Prince of the true line was placed on it : under a Pretender, it was silent. The Irish have . an antient prophecy (5) respecting the stone, implying that the possession of it was necessary to the preser vation of the regal power. It is remarkable that in later times this prophecy assumed a different form : fallat Fatum, Scoti quovinque locaturn " Inveniunt kpidem, regnarr tenentur ibidem." Or in the Lowland Scotch of Wyntotznis Cronykil, But gyf werelys filyhand be, Quhare evyr nine yhe segyt se, " Dare sall re Scottis be regnand, " And lorddys hale oure all pat land" (6). In either way the prediction continues to be fulfilled in that branch of the family of James I. which now fills the British throne ! (7). From Ireland the Fatal Stone was conveyed to the settlement which the people of that country had made on the north-western part of our island, from them called Scotland. Whether we receive or reject the tradition that it was brought over by Fergus, there is no doubt that the stone was removed to Scotland at a very early period, and that it was always re garded as a sacred monument by the people of that cnuntry. This opinion appears to be countenanced by the late ingenious Mr. King, who says "it is clear enough that before the time of Kennith, that is, before the year 884, it had been placed simply and plainly as a stone of great import and of great no toriety in Argyleshire, and, on account of the' reve rence paid to it, was removed by Kennith" j 8). This King, having taken it feJm the Castle of nnstuf• nage, its ancient station, placed it in the Abbey church of Scone, in the year 850 (9): he also in closed it in a chair of wood, on which he caused to be engraven the Leonine di'-tich Which we have already clamed (10). Here all the Scottish Kings were crowned upon it till the year 1296, when the victorious Edward I. brought it to England, and left it as an offering of conquest at the shrine of the Confessor, wheue it is still preserved (11). By •the Treaty of Northampton, in 1328, which was confirmed by Parliament, it was agreed that the stone should be returned to Scotland : and, for this end, writs were issued by Edward 111. which, how ever, were never executed. After its arrival in Eng land, Edward I. caused it to be placed in a new chair with a step, richly painted and adorned with gilding. In the wardrobe account of that King, under the year 1.500, are the sums which were then laid out upon.it, amounting to Jel. 19s. 7d.—a con s'.derable expense in those days. In order to illustrate the dignity of the relique, and to celebrate " the crested pride of the First tiveard," a tablet was suspended near the Chair, with the following inscriptioh : 1, Si quid habeat yeti vel cbronica cans hdesve " Clauditur hac Cathedra nobilis ecce• " Ad caput eximius Jacob quondam patriarcha " Quern insult cemens numina mica poli : 1, Quem tulit cx Scotis spolians quasi victor honoris Edwardus Primus, liars velut armipotens, Seutorum domitor, noster validissimus Hector, " Anglorum dents, et gloria militiz." • Me, Aucle , ll. 111. But this has long since shared the fate of many § . .lier written memorials with which the Abbey abounded. 'the. Coronation Chair is of oak, of an architec tur-.1 2esign, and ornamented on the back and sides with rows of pointed archCs, the form of which con f.l-ms the reported age of this venerable relique. Some remains are yet to be seen of the painting c.nd gilding with which it was once adorned. It is in height about six feet seven inches, in depth 24. inches, and the width of the seat, withinside, is 28 inches. At nine inches from the groundtis a frame to support the Stone, upon the surface of which is 'the seat. - The block appears to be of a reddish sand stone, and at each end a short iron chain is fastened in it; but these are nearly concealed by the wood weak. The lover of antient art must .regret that so beautiful a fabric should Ise exposed to external in jitry as well as decay, and must wish, if possible, thati the Chair of King Edward might rather , be restored ' 1;; its original styleof decoration, than concealed (as the custom' bath been at the time of Coronations) by a covering even pi cbecichest material. Another -Chair, in imitation of that above de scribed, was made for the Queen of William 111. and is kept in the same place. 4,1.1 Of this Qatheltits a Inn termite may be found in Hal ittslars Hintoris cia-Wettd. lie is thire said to be a Greek, the P.e*ne of Cecrops who budded tbt aide of Athens."

In a late biographical account of Cowper, written with great spirit and elegance by Mr. M‘Diarmid of Dumfries, we find the following passage ; " In our days, so little are Authors in-danger of starving from the ignorance and selfishness of book- Sellers, or the neglect of their contemporaries, that if to true talent they add only as ordinary portion of prudence and industry, there is scarcely any class of men that has less to fear from the caprices of for tune. The announcement of a. work from the pen of 'at least a dozen of our living Authors, excites nearly' as much interest as the news of a great battle; and for every poem of a few hundred stanzas, Lois don or Edinburgh sends back what the Lottery agents call a golden shower, to refresh, with all the luxuries of life, the retirement of a Scott, a Camp bell, a Moore, or a Crabbe; or, peradventure, to furnish the noble minstrel with a large letter of cre dit on some Greek or Italian banker. But for this happy revolution in the - republic of letters, the literati of the present age are in a great measure indebted to those who have gone before them. The growth of taste, like the progress of liberal opinions with which it is inseparably connected, is uniformly slow and gradual; aqd had not Paradise Lose sold for the paltry sum of ten or twenty pounds, and the' Task' and some otber works been presented as a gift to the publishers,' Rook!): The Lady of the Lake,' or even a single canto of Child Harold,' never could have been purchased at the extraordinary - price of three thousand guineas. Genius, in fact, must pre cede taste; and, consequently, the early writers, who dealt in a commodity of which not one man in ten thousand understood the value, were sure to find . themselves in the predicament of those who let down buckets into empty wells, and spend their days in drawing no water. But ;his evil has at last worked out its own cure. By indulging, in despite of 'pa verty and privation, the natural - bent of their minds, men of genius have at length enlarged the circle of Readers; and having created a demand for the beau ties of literature, have placed it within the reach of their successors, to amass fortunes by their skill and address in supplying it. In a word, the labours of the fathers of literature in a country, may be com pared to capital sunk in some great national under taking, which, although ruinous to the first projec tors, is destined to enrich and enlighten posterity, by scattering over the community all the blessings of extended and extending civilization." CONVERSION OF WOOD, &c. INTO SUGAR. Dr. Vogel,. Member of the Royal Academy of Sciences, has submitted to a careful examination, in the laboratory of the Academy of Munich, the sur prising discovery of M. Bracennot, of Nancy, of the effects of concentrated sulphuric acid on wood' and linen. He has now fully confirmed this dis covery, so as to lay before the Academy an essay on the subject, and shew the products resulting from the original experiments, with equal success, to other' similar vegetable substances—suck as old paper, both printed and written upon, and cut straw. By I diluting the sulphuric acid with a due addition of water, saw-dust, cut linen, paper, ecc. were converted into gum and saccharine matter. It must excite great interest in. all reflecting minds, to see an indis soluble, tasteless substance, like the filaments of wood, converted, by chemical re-action, into two new bodies, and Chemistry thus exercise a power,. which, but lately, appeared to belong to nature alone, and in particular to vegetation ; for this artificial formation of sugar and gum, now discovered, must not be confounded with the extraction of-these two substances from bodies in which they already existed, a process knorn from dine immemorial. What has now, _been diwavered, is .a &cm:fort:Wiwi, a metantopphosie, of which the most inget.ious ch;:- . mist had previously no idea ; and ii affords a now proof of the boundless extent of the domain -of practical che:aistry. A paper upon Di. Vogers re. petition and investigation of M. Braconnot's exile. riments, and those added by himself, is promised in one of the next numbers of the Journal of Arts and Manufactures, published by the Bavarian Poly , technic Society. LAI3 7 INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF ItigG'Sl3ENcir, APRIL 14. cLamti O. STODDART AND • YHERS. This action was. brought by Mr. Cleary, the con veyancer, against Dr. Stoddart, and ethers, connected with the New limes, for the publication of an alleged libel. The declaration charged the defendants with publishing in the above Paper, of the 20th of Novem ber, 1818, a letter, imputing, that the plaintiff had been guilty of unnatural practices ; and that he was supported and - maintained by the same. The letter was addressed to Sir Francis Burdett, and signed, " Henry Hunt." Mr. BROUGHAM stated the case to the Tury, and represented the libel to be one which exceeded the sting of any-publication he lrac.l seen in the course of 'his experience. He adverted to the time when Ma .. Jor Cartwright stood forward a Candidate for %Vest ' minster. Mr. Cleary on that occasion, came in con tact with Hunt. Doring tlfe contest, a letter was read on the hustings by Cleary. It was from Cob hat, and no individual doubted it was written by that person. Ilunt, however, denied the fact, and addressed a letter to Sir Francis Burdett on the sub ject. In that letter, after • some comments on the 'conduct of Sir Francis Burdett, he alluded to Mr. Cleary, charged him with forging the letter, rind, secondly, with a crime before which forgery sunk to nothing. Hb was charged with practices so vice and unnatural. that Mr. Brougham could not enlarge upon the subject. Ile was to be told it was Hunt's libel and not Dr. Btoddart's, but that, in la'w, would be no answer to the action. James Mallison, from the Stamp Office, produced the New Times of the 20th of November, 1818. - Hunt's letter was then put in and read. It was datedthe 22d of April. It alluded to Cobbctt's let ter, accused Mr. Cleary of forgery, and applied to him the name of kept man mistress. Mr. SEERLETT requested a paragraph in the New Times might be read, in which Dr. Stoddart stated, that the letter was not written by him, but Hunt. The CHIEF JUSTICE held the reading of the same to be irregular. Mr. John Wright deposed, that he had known Mr. Cleary some time. • He knew there was such a per son as Henry Hunt. He had known him called. in a Paper, " Henry the Ninth !" The letter which Mr. 'Cleary was accused of forging, was nritten by Cob bett. Cleary. and Hunt had been in the habit of writing-letters to each other. He had never heard Mr. Cleary was living with a mistress. Mr. SCARLET' rose to address the Jury, and first complained of delay on the part of the plaintiff in -bringing the action. Mr. BROUSHAN then called Major Cartwright to prove the delay was occasioned by the bad state of Mr. Cleary's health. Major Cartwright said, Mr. Cleary was in a deli cate state of health. In 1818, his health was so bad that witness invited him to his house at Tunbridge. His illness was a paralytic stroke. Mr. SCARLETT then continued his address to the Jury. The alleged libel was not written by Dr. Stoddart ; it was Mr. Hunt's libel, and the plaintiff. had omitted bringing his action against Hunt, for the purpose of pressing for heavy damages against the defendants, As well might the Grecian heroes, Agamemnon and Achilles; complain to old Homer (if the parties were living), for words uttered by Thersites. Hunt was the person of whom the plain tiff ought to complain. Mr. Scarlett then contended, that the meaning the plaintiff had affixed to the words was not a right interpretation. The words, " kept man mistress,' implied that the plaintiff was admired by the Ladies, and in the habit of receiving pecuniary favours. Mr. Scarlett read a .passage from an old Play, written by Beaumont and Fletcher, en titled, Cuitom ofthe Country, and proved by the lan guage, which was too broad and indelicate to quote here, that man mistress meant a man kept by a Lady. Dr. Stoddart did not know Mr. Cleary, and certainly never had supposed the letter conveyed the imputa tion stated in the declaration. The CnIEF JUSTICZ said, the question was, whether the paragraph imputed to Mr. Cleary unnatural practices, or whether it meant to charge him with being the visitor of females, and receiving presents from them in return ? He reminded thealiry that a celebrated Novelist had made Ton'--Jvaes visit Lady Bellaston, and receive pecuniary favours from her. l If the Jury believed the paragraph imputed similar conduct to Mr. Cleary, they ought to find a verdict for the plaintiff. The Jury retired from the box at four o'clock, and at six o'clock sent a letter stating they could not agree. The letter was read by the Judge's Associate, who communicated the contents to the parties. One party was willing to withdraw a Juror, the other would not. About eight o'clock the Jury came into Court, and found a Verdict for the Plaintiff.-- Da mages One Hundred Pounds. COURT OP COMMON PLEAS, APRIL 14. OAKES V. YATIMAN. This was an action to recover from the defendant f:700, bein t , the expense incurred in the negociation and completion or a loan of 1:11,000, in which the defendant acted as plaintiff's attorney. The loan was charged to have been originally given on the advice and instruction of the defendant, for .:an .annuity, which was secured upon certain' estates in Lincola Fens ; bUt it turned out, that although the title was good, and although a favouiable represcinat?mi of the nature of the estates was made by the defendant, yet they were not sufficient to pay the annuity stipu lated. It appeared that the 'defendant himself acted on information which hereecived from 11Ir:Wiggins • '1 the surveyor, and that the.plaintilrlately recovered, from Wiggins, in an action at law, A:6000, on ac count of the losses incurred by his incorrect state ment. On the present occasion, the plaintiff 'failed to she/ that the defendant_acted in any otlier,clia racter than. as a mere attorney, .not. as a general agent, and therefore he was not.held plaintiff was nonsuitcd.. CRESTER, APRIL ls. At the Sitting of the - Court, Mr. dolma (the Re ;column) stated, that he had an application to make to their Lordships, upon a 'subject connected with the trial which had taken place on the Bth instant.— He held in his hand a certificate from one of the Ma gistrates of the County of Down, stating that Ross, the Constable, Who had been called upon the tiial, was the person who, bad apprehended Jacob *lnnis, He had also the netEssary certificate from tile-Secre tary for Foreign Affilirs, Lord Castlereagh, and he (Mr. Jones) wished to have the signature of their Lordships, to enable Ross to receive the reward. The CHIEF' J•.;srtcE thought that the Court had nothing to do with the matter. It was' casting upon, them a duty which they were not called upon to perA form. The certificates must be laid before Lord Sidmouth, who would apportion the reward as he might think fit. Mr. LLOYD (the Agent for the prosecution) thought it possible that Lord Sidmouth might consider part of the reward due to other persons. Mr. Jr:WEL—Ross was the person ty whom M.Ln. nis was actually apprehended. Mr. LLOYD.—Ycs ; but the Proclamation (I have it in my pocket) says--" appiehending, or ::;u3ing to be apprehended." It was decided that the certificates must be laid before Lord Sidruouth. •SECOND INDICT:M. 4 :NT AI:AINST PARSON nARRISON. The tar, count of the i-dictment states, that the defendant, being an ill-dispth,ed person, and unlaw fully devising to disturb the public peace, and excite v:rder and di:affection, .and to move and' incite the liege subjects of thelate King to insurrection and Tl hellion, .to subvert the Gorenstnent and Constitution, and to excite hatred to the late King, did, on the sth of December, in the Gath year of the reign of George 111.. at Stockport, unlawfully, maliciously, and sedi tiously, in the presence and hearing of one John Ro binson, and doters others, opeally say, speak, and publist these soanclalons, malicious, and seditious words following ; that is to say—" Kings, Pzinces, Dukes, Lords, lommons, Parliament, Archhishoiss, Bishops, Prelates, petters, I ligh Cunqables, Consta bles, Sheriff's, Deputy Con , tables, and Bailiffs, art corrupt ; and the time is very near when they will be upset." The people should rise en masse to sup press. such a tyrannical Government as the. one in this country.

The fortitude which Mthinis exhibited chi his trial has altogether forsaken him, and he now arpears profoundly penitent. The following lstter has been forwarded, at his request, to a young woman at Stockport, with whom he was acquainted.
