Hatfield's licence to fortify it bore date 1379, and allowed Lord Neville "de son manoir faire un Outs tell," an expression which did not in the least help to determine what the exact extent of John Neville's work was. While some portions of the older fabric were incorporated with the new, Raby presented certainly the work and ideas of one period. Its particular value in the series, therefore, and that which distinguished it from the rest of the large castles—such as Alnwick, Wark worth, Durham, Prudhoe, &c.—was that, whereas they consisted of Norman cones, which have a usual agglomerated andto themselves a heterogeneous mass of buildings of a later date, following more or less the lines of the old wails of enciente, they had, or rather did have, in it a perfect example of a 14th century castle, complete in all parts, without any appearance of earlier work or later alteration whatever. Nearly every one who mentioned Raby pointed out the ap parent weakness of its site. Old Leland said Raby was the largest castell of Logginges in all the North Country, and was of a strong building, but not set either on hill or very strong ground. But though certainly not set on hill, it had yet other means of defence of which no notice was taken—viz., water, which making the place damp, no doubt, and being found practically unnecessary, was drawn off long, perhaps, even before Leland's time. But the real defence of Raby lay beyond the circuit of its own walls and waters. They were to be found in the warrior spirits of its lords and in the border castles of Norham, Roxburgh, Wark, Berwick, and Bamburgh, which they commanded continuously - as warders and gover nors from,the days of Robert Neville, in the 13th cen tury, to the time of Queen Elizabeth. Apart from the question of the site, the castle itself was of great strength and skilfully disposed. Mr. Hodgson then pointed out in detail the general arrangement of the castle, and at the conclusion of his very elaborate and able papers the guests proceeded through the modern as well as the ancient portions of the castle, admiring especially the lovely prospect from the tower. At 6 o'clock the bugle call was sounded, and the return to Durham safely accomplished. The weather throughout was most favourable. There was a soiree at the Town-hall in the even ing, when papers were read—by Mr. J. R. Planche, " On the Norman Ancestry of the Nevilles, and the Early Armorial Bearings of the Family ;" by the Rev. C. Carr, " On an Anglo-Saxon Inscription ;" and by Mr. T. W. King, York Herald, " On MSS. relating to Durham in the Library of the Collegeof Arms." The Rev. Prebendary SCARTH, M.A., described a Roman altar which had been found in the capital of a column in the church at Gainford, on the river Tees, about two miles above Piersbridge, an ancient Roman station on the line of Watling-street. The church had been restored in the course of last year, and built into the south-east pier of the tower arch was found an inscribed stone, a portion of which had been rounded to form the capital of the column. One side was perfect, and contained the figure of a Roman eagle with a wreath in the beak. The altar was dedicated to the Doly-chene Jupiter, the Jove of Metallurgy, and dedicated by a Roman officer, for himself and his family, or his company of sol diers, at the command of the god himself. This latter expression was pointed out as a formulary common to altars dedicated to this divinity. The date of the altar was probably A.D. 153 ; this could be nearly ascertained from the names of the con suls which were just discernible towards the end of the inscription. Five altars dedicated to the Doly chene Jupiter had been found in this country, and in all parts of it where ironstone is abundant. An altar found abroad, well known to archaeologists, contained an explanation of the title " Doly chenus," applied to Jupiter as presiding over the countries where iran was produced, and the locali ties in which these altars had been founded in Britain quite confirmed the statement. The rev. gentleman made observations on the care taken by the Romans to deyelope the resources of the countries they con quered, and pointed out that, as many traces were left of the Roman lead mines in England, so, no doubt, traces of iron workings might be discovered if looked for carefully, and concluded with an allu sion to the great necessity of preserving with all possible care the inscribed stones found, since they were corroborative and illustrative of the accounts of written history. (From the Correspondent of the Times). KISSINGEN, Aug. 23. I have seen Kissingen. I went up to the summit of the Bodenlaube, one of the conical hills surround ing the town, made conspicuous by the scattered fragments of an old feudal castle. The ascent has nothing of the difficulties and dangers of the Matter horn. It may be achieved in something like 20 minutes, and is made over easy steps and along smooth paths, across rich meadows, in the shape of piing woods, with comfortable seats at short inter vals for the accommodation of short-winded inva lids. At the entrance of the ruins on this side, towards the town, there is a " restauration," bearing the name of " Rubezahl," the name of that cunning hobgoblin who plays such a variety of pranks in the legions of the Giant Mountains. On the other side the top is reached through a long row of "stations," little chapels or shrines-..a via crucis to the Calvary, or Holy Mount--erected in poor emulation of the famous sub-Alpine sanctuaries of Oropa, Orta, and Varallo. In such juxta-position do you always find the Heavenly Powers and the Prince of Darkness in these unsophisticated old Roman Catholic countries —a taper invariably lighted in honour of the arch fiend in antagonism to the oil lamps burning at the foot of the Archangel. "We never know where we may come to in the end, and it is always well to have a friend in all quarters." From the heights of the Bodenlaube you see the whole of Kissingen miserable village within the recollection of living men, now a city of palatial hotels; a place visited by about 160 invalids in 1816, crowded with its yearly 6,000 at the present day. Round the town a range of sweet and smooth, well rounded, well wooded hills ; outside this circle a undulating country, again shut in by easy s y w s e l e o p p in in g ; mountains—a shell within a shell, a kettle within a kettle. The inner circle constitutes the little valley of the Saale, a sluggish stream that winds round Kissingen and is apt to stagnate on its meadows ; for, with all its health-giving powers, Kissingen has a damp, somewhat gloomy climate, not very inviting in any but the hottest summer months. Notwithstanding its high renown and its rapid increase in later years, Kissingen has still much of the primitiveness of a genuine watering-place. People come here for their health, or come not all. Dr. Granville, the illustrator of all German and Eng lish spas, never fails to pitch his tent at Kissingen every summer, giving it the preference over all other Kurorts for the marvellous powers of the Racoczy, Pandor, and Max Brunnen, the salt and carbonic acid baths at the saline, by which sufferers from dyspepsia and all other organic complaints are made whole, and go hack with a new liver, or one, at any rate, as good as new. It is pleasant to come once in a while across things called by their own true names. Kissingen is called a watering-place, and answers its appella tion most thoroughly. It is no such raeletty place of dissipation as Wiesbaden, Homburg, or other rival establishments. The fashionable hour for a promenade here is between 6 and 8 in the mornin g . Nay, so outrageously early people are we here that the band, before settling inthegtahrdeernounneadrof all Springs and the Kursaal at 6, makes the hotels, sounding the reveille, and rousing the sluggards. The solemn strains of their wind in struments were serenading me under my windows this morning, in the grey of earliest dawn, at h a lf-past 4. It was heavenly music in that still hour, I must say, though murderous to sweet slum- , -- ‘-i Ittl s .PEit •arei 'A' 'E‘..a4"-; . j r , 4 i a % • _ i::... 1:4041 lw ij Lrade. bers, and I do not wonder at gaste in the rooms adjoining by a rebellious and obdurl fiance. The English especiall . , wholesome discipline with an rally past 7 before any of them mix theito of their fellow-patients at the morning pa_ Dinner is at 1 in the afternoon for all people ; and at the head of the crowded table d'hote at the Kur haus the Doctor presides, with his wand of office, as inexorable as that of the medical officer of the Governor of the Isle of Barattaria, waving off any viand or beverage that may appear in contradiction tohis rigid prescriptions. I could not help smiling at the wistful glances with which some of the guests at m y hotel eyed the modest dish of venison, the pota , toes a la maitre (l'hotel, and the little pint of Saale wein which constituted my frugal slipper last even ing, while they had to feast on their bouillon, water, and cigars. But then they were people who had " their lives to make," and that requires as much self-denial, mortification, and asceticism as " mak ing one's soul." What becomes of these five or six thousand mar tyrs between S iu the morning and 6 in the evening no one can say ; but the Kursaal-garden is all alive again for two hours before sunset. There is more music, more quaffing of the Racoczy waters, more sauntering up and down, more swarming of motley groups. At Bit is night, and night is for rest and sleep, in spite of the little theatre, the conjuring tricks by a successor of Bosco, and other entertain tainments by no means extensively patronised. The great treat of Kissengen consists in some stray Em press, Queen, or Grand Duchess driven to the spot by some of those complaints Royal flesh is heir to, like other flesh. Sometimes a whole galaxy of such stars shine above this Franconian horizon ; and we hear of the gracious affability and primitive con descension with which their High Mightinesses and Transparencies, their splendours partly subdued by the assumption of incognito names and titles, " hold their courts in the open air or under the liursaal colonnades, and greet their friends, and even stran gers, with utter disregard of etiquette." Such of these exalted ladies as graced Kissingen this year are all off by this time. The season is drawing to a close, and was by no means one of the most brilliant. The English colony, as I said, hardly ever exceeds 300, though it boasts of a fine newly-built and lately opened church, a church, as well as a doctor, ex clusively addicted to its service. With all these attractions and the loveliness of the environs, lam afraid that Kissingen is entitled to that appellation of a " dull place," which is given it in the guide-books. The people here avow it ; you would say they rather glory in it. " The fact is we do not gamble here," they tell you, " and we en courage no bad characters of any description." There is no doubt but Kissingen contrived in the worst of times to keep up its character for respec tability. Previous to 1848 it had its rouge-et-noir and roulette tables as well as the most sinful of its neighbours. No Kursaal had been built at that time, and the gambling went on at some of the lower rooms at the Kurhaus ; but they were so uni versally tabooed that I am assured none but the couriers and lacqueys of the great families went there to stake their ill-gotten florins. In the famous years of revolution 1848-49 a crusade was preached against the Tapis-vert throughout Germany, and one of the first acts of the National Versanomlung, or Parliament, of the German Empire, which met in St Paul's Church at Frankfort, was to suppress all the gaming tables, prescribing a practice which was thought to throw so much discredit on the country. The decree of the national representatives met with various receptions in different States. The doughty Landgrave of Hesse-Homburg called all his army of 366 men under arms, and prepared for a desperate resistance. This was under the very nose of the 900 Professors of the Frankfort Assem bly, and was not to be tolerated. A battalion of Austrians, acting in the capacity of Imperial Ger man troops, were marched upon Homburg, where they found the tables deserted--not by terror of the law or of its executors, but merely owing to the Rumoresfuge circumspection of tourists, who were that year kept away from all their favourite resorts. It is stated—l know not on what grounds—that the officers of that Austrian contingent, taking pity on the desolate croupier, sat down to those very tables which they had been sent to demolish, and kept up the games which would have died a natural death without them. Whatever may be the truth of that anecdote, the real upshot was that the German Empire and its Parliament went down, and the croupier's tables were reared up once more. Wiesbaden, Homburg, Baden-Baden breathed again, and their visitors were again at their tracks everywhere—everywhere except at Kissingen. The good King, Louis of Bavaria, then reigning was a man whose principles th w hi e sa r tt e a so s nt o en u n gi n d o 0 , dhtiolienwrehviesresgt matters.ui m esl oh n ne a , b r te l e hv ao m tl ni a tt y i ohnhdahvaehd done public d gnaomtibneg-hous e s . anHde w w h a e s n res t o h l e ved fo a rm tha e s t r much should not be undon e , and when the former pro prietor of the Games at Kissingen, M. Bolzano, ap plied for the exercise of his rights, grounded on some former lease, the King referred to the Act of the Imperial Parliament, and declared it to be a law throughout his dominions. The point was disputed by the disappointed croupier, and the lawsuit was carried on for years, and tried at a variety of tri bunals, till it came at last before the supreme federal Court at Bremen, where it was decided that " as the act was passed by an assembly which was at the time invested with all federal powers, and had never been since repealed, it had certainly the power of law, and was binding on all such members of the Bund as chose to abide by it." King Louis and his successors chose to bow downtoits Homburg en , act , Kissinger,aaentd- l i ve ig have no of Nassau, o gambling at B Tm a he d enir e ts n i S pfe earrneedne highnesses to drive a coach and four through that mere cobweb of a decree, and florins and napoleons continue to jingle on their Kursaal tables. There is not an arrant va-tout of them all, whom you will not hear in the rare lucid intervals between the fits of his gambling passion, declare that "it is a flagrant shame and a glaring scandal to throw open such temptation as these games of hazard prove to many of the mere idlers at a watering-place." Medical men in vain protest that " in the midst of the excitement of play it is impossible to effect a cure, which relies above all things on perfect quiet and the avoidance of all violent emotions." All in vain. The measures which the great Powers of Austria and Prussia, and the State of Bavaria, found it so easy to adopt, are said to be impracticable in the smaller duchies and grand duchies. They plead the right of the lessees, they promise a breakdown of the system at the end of a few years. They make hay while the sun shines, nevertheless ; and Kis singen, good, respectable Kissingen, learns at its expense how dearly one must pay for the luxury of being more conscientious, more consistent, and, in fact, more honest than one's neighbours. - ------ --- Mr. H.

It will be remembered that some days back Mr. Heath, the Consul-General for Italy, attended at the Mansion house for the purpose of exposing a system of fraud which was practised upon persons of wealth and distinction residing abroad and on the Continent, who received letters emanating from firms in London calling themselves agents informing them that the writers were in possession of some article or package addressed to them and supposed to con tain something of great value, which they (the writers) had received from their correspondents, either in America or some other distant part, and which parcel would be for warded upon receipt of a cheque or Post Office order for the expenses, which were quoted at about £B. Mr. Heath pro duced some letters, which were signed " Mallett and Co." A few days later the Spanish Consul sent an intimation to his lordship that he had received some similar letters from Spain, bearing a different signature, and the articles were in that case attested to have been forwarded to them from Rio Janeiro. The matter was in the hands of Detec tive-sergeant Foulger, who was making inquiries, and through his exertions a man and woman,supposed to belong to the same gang, were placed yesterday at the bar of the Mansion-house in custody of Sergeant Foulger, and Jen kinson, another officer, by whom they were appre hended. They gave their names as Louis Gordon and Angelina Gordon, having no occupation, and residing at 41, Whiskin-street, Clerkenwell, the charge against them being for having conspired with others unknown and ob tained on the 21st inst. a Post-office order, No. 88, for 100 francs, with intent to defraud one Falario Cestalini of his moneys. The male prisoner is a Frenchman, and could not speak or understand English ; the female prisoner, who he said was his wife, is an Englishwoman, of rather prepossessing appearance. Mr. J. B. Heath, the Consul-General for Italy, and M. Juan Garacan, the Consul-General for Spain, were on the bench during the examination. Inspector Hamilton, of the detective department, said the case had arisen from n matter which had been brought be fore his lordship by Mr. Heath some days back, and he then stated that there should be no steps untried by the police to bring the parties to justice. The result had been that they had succeeded in apprehending two persons, who it was believed were two of the principals in carrying on a system of fraud which had been practised for some time, and most successfully, on persons of wealth residing abroad, by an organised gang,whose plans were so well laid that it was only by the most stringent exertions that the police had been able at last to bring the parties before his lordship. He might not be able at present to bring sufficient evidence to establish a case against the prisoners ; but if after hear ing the evidence, his lordship would remand the prisoners, he had no doubt there would shortly be numerous cases against them. The first witness called was Mrs. Mary Ashley, who'said she was the wife of Mr. John Ashley, builder, of 30, Graf ton-street, Fitzroy-square. She knew both prisoners. She saw the male prisoner on May 4th, when he took a bedroom. He was accompanied byanother man. He took the bedroom that day, but she did not see anything of him for a fortnight, when he called and said there would be letters left there, and asked her to take great care of them. The prisoner wrote his name and address, and she asked him for the name of the party who. was with him. The prisoner wrote the name of " Rhubulet and Co., 13, Princes-road, Chelsea." He wrote also the name of " Durmnt," which he said was his friend's name. He told her he would call again in a few days, and she was to take great care of the letters. He called a few days after, and there were then a number of letters-20, or perhaps more—addressed to Rhubulet and Co., agents. She gave them to the prisoner. She saw that they were nearly all foreign letters. There were a great many of the letters registered. He told her when the letters arrived there would be sometimes money or valuable pro perty in them. She told him her husband did not allow her to sign for anything. He wished her to sign for them. She told this to the postman, who told her that if she signed for Rhubulet and Co. the prisoner must sign for them ; and she told the prisoner what the postman had said, and made him sign for them, and he made no objection. Registered letters arrived frequently after that, and the prisoner signed for them all. The prisoner brought the female prisoner about last Thursday week. He told her the day before he would bring his wife the following day, and sho was to give her up the letters that came for him when sho called for them, and he would sign the paper for the registered letters. Witness produced a list of registered letters on which the male prisoner had written his signature several which a,ehma times, irepd;:t a shh n eeol d s fnh t a h lui nv e shni abne f ep e ae top m nphfwer , c . t i l srr eoresoort prisoners, aoueam a ksrkne s sn. ed to ihsert against each signature the number of letters she received. There were 25 letters h in all signed for, and there were still three signatures left blank. The female prisoner received the letters on the last three occasions, namely, the 19th, 21st, and 22d of August, and received eight letters. Witness said they were all letters from abroad, and all addressed to Wm. Rhubulet and Co., agents, 20, Grafton-street, Fitzroy-square. Therelwas no business done there, and, with one exception, nothing but letters were left there, and then a parcel containing m n o ww t Te o f hn r ht t o o t h a ei : ra k e epn e ppe l w i rde n s i aas : sro e G nasd W e r ebaiicoteenrcbTaehaesl The feg r d h o c er h a pnbe d - rite s igl d n s t end r o e me e v inn e re e es : n r r. never c T a h ll e e y d did t e s p e n t e o t t i ed there, but the prisoner said he did not want to occupy it as a bedroom. The prisoner said there was no bed there. Witness continued—The prisoner said ho would want the room from ten till four, as he would have a great deal of writing to do. When he went, however, he did not stop more than five minutes, and she never saw him write, except to sign the paper for the letters. William Boyce said he was a carpenter and builder, of 41, Gray's Inn -road. Ile let part of his house, the second floor back. He knew both the prisoners. Tho male pri soner went to him on 20th June, and asked if he could let an apartment ; he said he should not want to occupy it, but should only want it to receive letters. He did not object to the bed in the room. Witness understood him to be a sort of ship agent, but did not give his card. Tho prisoner wrote down two references, but witness had not got them with him. The prisoner wrote down his own name, C. H. Rigden. He did not recollect the names of the references. One was in Rupert-street, and the other in Princes-street, Soho. The prisoner asked him if he would object to a small plate on the doorpost, to which witness at first demurred, but finally consented, and a plate was put on the doorpost, with the name of C. 11. Rigden on it. The prisoner told him there would be some letters, and perhaps a good many, and he would ask for them. In two or th ree days letters began to arrive—seven or eight in the morning, and about the same in the oven inc. Some were addressed "C. H. Rigdon," and some "C. H. Rigden and Co., agents." Witness knew all the letters were foreign, and appeared to come from all parts of the Continent. They continued to arrive up to the previous day, the prisoner sometimes calling alone, and sometimes with the female prisoner. At first the prisoner called every day, but afterwards the letters wore not quite so numerous, and he called every other day. He came with the female prisoner about a fortnight after he en gaged the rooms and introduced her as his wife, and said she was to receive the letters. When the prisoner first called about the room ho was accompanied by a man who spoke English and seemed to interpret for the male prisoner, who appeared not to bo able to speak English, and the prisoner described him as his clerk. Witness gave some letters to the female prisoner. There had been 17 registered letters and 91 unregistered, and also four parcels, which were delivered by a railway porter. two of which appeared to contain money. They came from abroad, but ho could not say where. He gave one of the parcels to the male prisoner, but he did not recollect about the others. They signed for them, and he had the receipts at home. When the prisoners called for the letters, witness should say they did not remain more than three minut es . No writ •m g was done at the " offic e." Neither of the prisoners ever went up. Witness thought there were two gentlemen who called for Mr. Rigden. One he saw himself, and he was a foreigner. They ca lled ab out 1 1 o'clock in the morning e vening. Wh en th e f emale prisoner called ffootthh six in e the letters, an d when there were so many they called about the a bout the 12th of A ugust, she said the other prisoner had gone to France and would be away a few days. Witness had not seen him since the 12th. Witness did not know the purport of any of the letters, but he un derstood the prisoner was a shipping agent. Theodore Foulger, detective sergeant, said he was engaged with other officers in investigating the ease. On the pro vions day he saw the prisoner leave No. 41, Whiskin-street, Clerkenwell. Ile was with Jenkinson and two other officers, and, told prisoner they were police-officers, and were going to arrest him for having defrauded several gentlemen in various parts of the Continent, and particularly for having defrauded M. Valerie Castelbrini of 100 f., by sending letters to him representing that he had property of value to remit. The prisoner appeared not to understand him, and he took him back to No. 41, Whiskin-street, and searched the place. He found a quantity of papers, and among them was a letter he produced, addressed to "Messrs. Rhubulet and Co., Grafton-street," and one to " C. IL Rigilen and Co., Gray's Inn-road." He also found various other letters addressed to the same parties, one of which contained 400 postage stamps, addressed to " Messrs. Rhubulet and Co., Grafton-street." . They were foreign postage stamps, and represented about £4. The letter was from Jaen, in Spain. Witness found various letters from abroad, and directed to the various names in which the prisoner had been going. He also found a Madrid Directory, and he believed about 15,000 letters had been sent abroad. He found a number of letters with the name of " Gordon and. Co." When he got back to Whiskin-street ho apprehended the female prisoner. She said she was the wale prisoner's wife, and was married in Paris, but she would not say when. Ile told her it might make a difference to her if I she were his wife, but she would not tell him. He found on her £ll 165., and in a purse of, the prisoner's, which was in the room, he found some postage stamps, some dupli cates, and a £5 bank-note, and a flash note on the "Bank of Love" for £5. Witness said he had nearly a hundred weight of papers which had to be translated. Some of the names that have been assumed by the puties aro Gerald, Simpson, and Co., Roger and Co., Rigden and Co., Rho bulet and Co., Gordon and Co., ''W. Smith and Co., and Christie and Co. Witness said he had no doubt if a re mand were granted he should be able to make the case more clear against the prisoners, and should most likely be able to obtain some of the letters which have been sent abroad to which those found are repl'es. When asked if they had any questions to put, the male prisoner said the flash note was sent to him in a letter, and he had no intention of passing it. The prisoners were remanded for a week. British Archaeological Association. DURHAM, Friday. Yesterday a special train took a large party of members and visitors to Barnardcastle, a small town ituate about 15 miles from Durham, which those who are indifferent to its archaeological remains re member for its connection with " Nicholas Nickleby." The special object of attraction was the castle, now in ruins, built by Bernard Balliol in the beginning of the 12th century. In 1268 John, his descendant, founded Balliol College, Oxford, and when his son was raised to the throne of Scotland, and renounced his fealty to Edward 1., Barnard Castle was con fiscated, and given by the King to the Earl of War wick. The Neville family became possessed of it by marriage, and Anne Neville brought it to Richard 111., who lived here when Duke of Gloucester. During " the Rising of the North" the castle was besieged by the rebellious barons, and held out for 11 days under Sir George Bowers. Captain Thomas Robinson acted as cicerone, and pointed out such remains as were of interest. Hutchinson, who ex amined the castle minutely in 1783, said that the remains then covered an area of of 64 acres. It was totally dismantled in 1630, and since Hutchinson's time much of the walls has fallen, and the charac ter of the interior has been entirely obliterated, only the outer walls, stripped of their buttresses, now remaining. The ruins, which overlooked the Tees, are most picturesquely situated, and the deep moat and high walls show the castle in its prime to have been a place of great strength. There was a tower, called by tradition the Brackenbury Tower, after the knight whom Richard 111. employed, and who is so unfavourably known in English history. An oriel window is said to have belonged to the Duke of Glocester's State chamber: Returning to the Barnardcastle station, the party went by train to Cockfield, where they found car riages waiting for them, and rode through beautiful moorland scenery to Staindrop church : " Staindrop who, from her silver bowers, Salutes proud Raby's battled towers." Here the rector, the Rev. J. F. Hodgson, gave an interesting description of the building. He said that it was erected by the almost extinct family of the Nevilles, in which they worshipped, and where the more illustrious of them had been buried. The chancel had been of early English work, and he suspected that it was 10 feet longer than the nave. Possibly the north transept was of the date of 1195. Staindrop was a place of some importance in the reign of King Canute. It was the head of a shire, and might be regarded as having then been a kind of little king among the villages around it. With its numerous additions Staindrop afforded a remark able instance of a north country church, small at first, but extending gradually in all directions— east, west, north, and south. The " squint" windows overlooking the altar, from which you could see what went on . in the church without entering it, were noticed as very curious. The Neville monuments in this church are of great interest, and were briefly described by Mr. J. R. Planche. There is a splendid alabaster altar tomb to Ralph Neville, the first Earl of Westmore land, who is represented in armour, with a lion at his feet ; and on either side there are effigies of his two wives,—Margaret, daughter of Hugh, Earl of Stafford, and Joan, daughter of John of Gaunt, — by whom he had 23 children. At the feet of all three are small and mutilated figures of kneeling monks. Another tomb, of wood, is erected in memory of Henry, fifth Earl of Westmoreland, and his three wives, the figures of his eight children being placed in niches round the tomb. The inscrip tion is, " All you that come to this church to praye, say a paternoster and a crede for to have mercy of us and all our progeny." In the centre of the chancel is a magnificent tomb in white marble, by Westmacott, in memory of the eldest brother of the present duke, who wears his coronet, is half recumbent. From Staindrop it is only a short drive through the park to the seat of the President, the Duke of Cleveland,—Raby Castle,—which is reckoned the most perfect of the northern castles now existing. The visitors were received in the hall by the Duke and Duchess, and immediately passed by a fine oak staircase, lately added, into the Baron's Hall, where, when the Nevilles were in their full pride and of power, the knights who held of them assembled : " Seven hundred knights ; retainers all Of Neville, at their master's call, Together sat in Baby's Hall." In this noble hall, so full of historical associations, a bountiful dinner was provided, and after their long journey the visitors—some 200 of them— were ready to do full justice to the venison and famous venison pasties, the grouse and the other good things with which the table was loaded. The Marquis and Marchioness of Nor manby, Lord Houghton, and other distinguished visitors, were staying at the castle, and with the Duke and Duchess were unwearied in their atten tions. When hunger and thirst were appeased, Mr. J. H. Planche, in the name of the Association, thanked the Duke and Duchess for their most hos pitable reception, and their health was drank amid such cheers as can hardly have rung within the old hall since the days of the Nevilles. In reply, the Duke expressed the great gratification which he had experienced in receiving the Association, and his wishes that this visit might be agreeably remembered by the members. - Reassembling in the lower hall, the visitors lis tened to a paper read by the Rev. Mr. Hodgson on the architectural features and some of the historical associations connected with the castle. Raby, he said, pointing by its name to a Danish origin, was first mentioned in connection with King Canute, who, after making his celebrated pilgrimage over Garmondsway Moor to the shrine of St. Cuthbert, there offered it, with Staindrop and the rest of Stain dropshire, to the saint. Bishop Flambard wrested the rich gift from the monastics, but restored it again on his deathbed. It continued in the peaceful possession of the monks till 1131. In that year they granted it for an annual rent of £4 to Dolphin, son of Ughtred, of the blood royal of Northumber land. Whoever the original founder might have been, Dolphin's descendant, Robert filius Maldred, was, at all events, Dominus de Raby, when early in the 13th century he married Isabel Neville, by the death of her brother the last of that line, and sole heiress of that great Saxon house of Bulmer, Lords of Brancepeth, and Sheriff Hutton. From their son Geoffrey, who assumed his mother's surname, the history of the Nevilles might be said to date. To his descendant, John Lord Neville, they owed the present castle of Raby. It was reported of this Lord John Neville (said Dug dale) that he was some time employed against the Turks, and that being Lieutenant of Aquitaine he reduced that province to quiet, which had been wasted by the wars with the Turks, and that in his service in those parts he won and had rendered to him 83 walled towns, castles, and forts. It was during the latter part of his life that the reconstruc tion of Raby was gradually proceeded with. Dish%) SCIENTIFIC AND ORNAMENTAL PRESENTS.
