QUEEN ELIZABETH.-06 the I,lth of January,
15.59, Queen Elizabeth was crowned with the most
brilliant pomp by Oglithorpe, Bishop of Carlisle,—
After the ceremony of coronation she gave liberty
to all prisoners without distinction. At the moment
several persons just liberated came to return thanks
to the Queen, when Sir F. Bacon approached her
Majesty, and said, " your Majesty is pleased to ex-
tend your royal mercy to some and not to others."—
The Queen answered, she had given orders to re-
lease all prisoners without exception • " There are
still, however, (said Sir F.:Bacon) four prisoners
who have been closely confined from the beginning of
Mary's reitrn to this day."—" Who are they ?"
replied Elizabeth : give me their names. and they •
shall be set at liberty." " Madame, added Bacon,
" The first is Matthew, the second Mark, the third
Luke, and the fourth John, and your people im-
patiently expect your Majesty will give them free-
dom." Tile Queen smiling, said, " I will rdease
them, with the blessing of God, and I hope to con-
verse with them, and receive instructions from their
own mouths with regard to all I ought to do in
their favour." The coronation has anciently be-
lunged to the Archbishop of Canterbury, it being
formerly resolved, that wheresoever the Court was
the• King and Queen were, the domestic parishioners
of the Archbishop of Canterbury. It al.o belonged
to him in former times to take to himself the °Ter-
ings made at the holy altar by the King and Queen.
The Court of Assize of Paris finished on Monday

n Ito could not sit iota the said jury. Ile applied on
behalf of the Sheriff, and hit object was to get the
opinion of the court on the validity of the proceeding.—
The motion was I led on the 3tl of Geo. 11. cap. 26,
which provides, for the purpose of preventittg abuses in

the Sheriff or s ttttt uso tt itt st.ollicer to serve as juror, who

charged trusts special bail, and exoneration returned
