7111? NINETEENTH JULY.

The 191 h of July is memorable in more respeettobata the
Coroaation of our present Sovereign. 1. On that day,1333,
Edward 111. defeated the Scots with great slaughter at
Hatielown.hill, near Berwick-upon-Tweeil. I. On that day,
ISS I, Philip 11. King of Spain, landed at Southampton, and
was married to the sanguinary Mary, at Wiuchester, on the
2Stb of tile same month—a union to which a great past of
the nation had, with good cause, the utmost aversion. 3. On
that day, MS, began a must magnificent entertainment,
given to Queen Elizabeth by the Earl of Leicester, in Kenil-

that day, 1585, the Spanish annuli arrived in the English
Chanaeli but was boos after eanntrelkil to retreat, and the
following laconic inscription on a medal, which was struck
on the occasion, is yearly as exact account
of that happy
event—" !remit, eigil,fogit."
