Ltmurßtogr PALACE.

usurrico*, streistaut 19.
We are happy to observe, that in consequence of
an order from the &rout of Excitegetter, a number
of woikmen have of late been employed to make re-
pairs on thlt most decayed pints of the Royal liaNce
here, by which meabs this noble structure will in
future be kept in a better state of repair for the
inspection of strangers, of whom a great many COl4-
slimily resort here to see the curiosities of the place.
The town of Linlithgow is rendered memorably fur
it, having been the place where Regent Murray
met his death from the hands of Hamilton of Both-
wellhaugh, and still more so room the circumstance
of the Solemn League mid Covenant baking been
burnt at the market-cross during the Refill motion.
—ln this Palace did the unfortunate Mary 01 Scot-
land find see light ; and the room where she was
born is still 'hewn. In the church adjoilling, the
apparition made its appearance to James ihr Fourth,
previous to the battle of Flodden, sod predicted to
hint while at prayers, the fatal consequences of
that campaign. Mr. Scott, in his Marnaion, takts
notice of that circumstance with much accuracy
of description. While the workmen were remov-
ing some rubbish out of one of the rooms in
the Palace, they discovered a lion rampant, inside
of wood, about two feet in length. It has been
of exquisite workmanship, and still retains much
of its pristine appearance, and is in a high state
of preservatiou considering the very great num-
ber of years it must have lain buried. Its mane,
which is profuse in abundance of curls, has been
richly gilt, and its lower parts are painted of
a blight vermilion. Its its dexter fore paw it
holds the edge of a crown (said to be as ex-
act representation of the Scots crown)' as it were
iu the act of lancing it on its head. The I • ler
legs have unfortunately been broken off, and a
long iron spike is fixed in its eight side, by which
it has most probably been &stetted to the wall.
The workmen entertain great hopes of finding tiller
curiosities, and they certainly have great right to be
sanguine in their expectations, as this Palace Vats
moot part elegantly furnished when it was build
by the King's troops during the rebellion in 1745,
on the flimsy pretext that it had afforded a night's
shelter to the. Pretender. Perhaps the Antiquarians
Society will be able to elucidate fur what purpose
this golden lion bus been used.
