dOIiONATION OF RICHARD 111.

• .
I iPrakit No. X. of Britton and Brayiey's iiistory of the late
Rouses of &id Azielefit Palace of Wesidthoter.)
On the day after that on which ild bad Wed proclaimed
1,1.'14 Richard the 111. proceeded in great state td West-4;
n;histei Hall; ruirp'prods,train of attendants, " arm
there, when he had placed iiim;elfd i^ 4J Court of the King's
Bench [on " the marble seat," as some writers gtiittli lie de
dared to the audience, that he would take upon him the
crowne in that place there, where the king himselfe sitteth
and ministreththe law, because he considered that it was
the chiefest dude of a king to minister the lawes. Then with
as pleasant an oration as he could he went about to win
Vdtd hint the nobles; merchants; the artificers, and in con-
clusion all kind of men; bitt especiallie the lawieres of this
realme. And finallie to the intent that no man should hate
hires for feare, and that his deceitfull denim-160 might get
him the go6d of the people, when he had declared the
discommodities of discord tt and the comodities of concord
& vnitie, he made an open proclamatidd, that he did put
out of his mind all enmities, and that he there did ormlie
pardon all offenses committed against him. And to the in-
tent that he might shew a proofe thereof, lie commanded
that one Fog, whom he had long deadlie hated, should be
brought then before him, who being brought out of the
sanctuarie [for thither he had fled for feare of him] in the
sight of the people he tooke him by the hand. Which thing
the common people rejoiced at and praised, but wise men
tooke it for a vanities'
The coronation of Richard, and Anne his consort (the
daughter of the king-making Earl of Warwick), was solem-
nised in the abbey church at Westminster on July 6,
1483. Holinsbed remarks, that, " the solemnitie was fur-
nished, for the most part, with the selfe same prouision that
was appointed for the coronation of his nephue ;" which bad
been arranged to take place about six weeks prior to
that date.
In the description of this ceremonial, given in an Har-
lcian MS., it is stated that after the trumpets and clarions,
the serjeant at arms, and the heralds bearing the king's he-
raldic insignia, came " the Crosse wt a ryall procession ;
fyrst Prests wt grey Amyses and then Abbotts and Bi-
shops wt meters on their hedds & crosers in their hands,
and the Bishope of Rochest' bare the cross° before the
Cardinall [Abp. Bourchierd And then comyng th' Erl of
Northumberland barynge the poyntles sworde before the
king naked. The Lord Stanley bare the masse "mace] be-
fore the kinge. Th' Earl of Kent bare the second sworde
poynted on the right hand of the kinge. The Lord Lovell
bare the iij sworde on the left hand the king naked.
Then comyng the Duke of Sid: bering the king's scepter.
Th' Erl of Lyncolne bare the crosse wt the belle. Th' Erl'
of Surrey bare the iiijth sworde with the scabbard before
the Kinge upright. Then comyng the Duke of Norff :
bering the King's Crovvno betwyx his hands. And then
foloigne our Soveraigne Lorde KSNGE Rsexd the iijde and
over his hed a clothe of estate borne wt the v. ports,
and on eche syde of the kynge going a Bishope, • the
Bishope of Bathe and the Bishope of Durram, and so the
King goirn, in his robes of purple velvet. Then comyn
the Duke of Bokingh'm bering the king's trayne wt a whyt
staff in his hande. And then, comyng before the Quene
both Erls and Barrons. Th' Erl of Huntyngton bare the
quene's scepter, the Viscount Lyle the rod wt ye dove upon.
Th' Erle of Wylshyre bare the quene's Crowne. Then
comjmge our Soveraigne Lady the Queue, & over her hed a
clothe of estate, and of every corner of the cloth a belle
of golde, & on her bed a cy-rklet of golde wt many precyous
stones sett therein, & on every syde the quene going a Bis-
hope, the Bishope of Excaster and the Bishope of Nor
wyche, and our Lady of Rychemond bare the queues
trayne. And our Lady of Stiff : going in her estate by her
selffe alone, and on her hed a cyrciet of Golde. Then after
her comyng the Doches of Norff : wt other ladyes to the
number of xxtie. Then after them comyng knights and
squiers wt many typstaves."
In recounting the formalities of the coronation, the
writer of the MS. says that, the king and queen having
quitted their seats of estate and advanced to the high altar,
while the priests and clerks were " syngino• laten and
prycksonge," their majesties " put of ther robes and there
stood all nakyd from the medall upwards, and anone the
Bishope anoynted both the Kyng and the Quyne. And
when this was done, the Kyng and Quyne changed ther
robes into clothe of golde, and then the Cardenall
crowned them both wt great solempnetyc, and the or-
gans went full shortly [sweetly ?]" But the former part
of this statement must surely be understood with some
reservation : probably Holinsbed's narrative is here more
accurate, who says " after diuerse songs solemnlie soong,
they both ascended to the high altar, and were shifted from
their robes, and had diuerse places open from the middle
vpward, in which places they were anointed."
In his notice of the coronation feast, the MS. writer
mentions the first course as being served " on-dyshe of
gold and an other of sylver all covered ; " and adds,
" me Lord Awderley Kerver to the kyng all the dynner-
time, and me Lord Scroop of Upsall, Cupberer. And so
me Lord Lovell standing before the Kynge all the dynner-
tyme, and two squyers lying under the bord at the kyng's
fete."----" And then came in the second cowerse, and
at the said cowerse, came rydng into the hall Sr Robt Dy-
moke the Kyng's Champion, and his horse trapyd wt whyt
sylke & red, Zhyrna selff in whyt harnesse, and the He-
rauldes of Armes standyng upon a stage among all the
co'pany ; then •
came rydynge up before the Kyng his
champion, and there he declared before all the people,
yf there be any man will say ageynst kyng Rychard the
iij why he shoulde not p'tende the crowne, and anon all
the people were in peace awhyle. And when he had
all seyd, anon all the ball cryed Kyng Rychard all wt one
voyce. And when this was done, anone on of the Lords
brought unto this champion a cope full of red wyne
cov'd, and so lie toke the cope and uncov'd hym and
drank thereof, and when he had done, anon he castes
owte the wyne and cov'd the cope agayne & made his
obesans to the Kynge,- and turned his horsse abowt and
rode through the hall wt the cope in his ryglit hand,
and that he had for his labor. The third course we are
told " was so late that there might no servyce be served
savyng wafers and ipocrace." Lights were then brought,
the king and queen quitted the festal 'apartment, and the
company dispersed.

The Lindfield workhouse having been given up,
the boys and girls of the Union, 57 in number, were last week
removed to Hurst. On 'Saturday morning, however, 17 of
the boys scaled the wall and run away.—Brighton Guardian.
ANECDOTE OF JOHN FAWCETT.—The celebrated
John Fawcett, the strictest and best stage manager that Co-
vent Garden Theatre ever boasted, gave Tokely some good
advice on the subject of drink. Tokely was an excellent
comedian, and could he have conquered his bibulous propen-
sities must have reached a lofty eminence ; but he sunk be-
neath the vice, and added one more name to the long, long
list of men of mind who have yielded to the triumphs of
rum. Fawcett admired his talent, and did his best to wean
him from his practices, but in vain. Tokely came drunk to
the rehearsal more than once, and Fawcett, irritated at his
conduct, spoke to him thus:—What a beast you must be, to
swill in this way so early in the morning. Look at yourself ;
and if the liquor has not drowned every feeling of shame,
blush while I draw your picture. Unwashed hands and face
—a long beard—foul linen and dirty boots—a fiery and loath-
some breath—an unsteady gait—and the countenance of an
ideot.—You have become an object of pity to your friends, of
derision to your enemies, of annoyance to your manager, a
curse to your family, and a disgrace to the profession you
otherwise might honour. That is what you gain for a mo-
mentary gratification. If you love drink, and nothing seems
able to stop you, at least get drunk like a gentleman, and
never till you have dined." Tokely was too blue to remem-
ber any thing of this sermon upon temperance, but the last line.
The next morning he was called to rehearsal at ten o'clock.
He reeled from the gin-shop, and stood before Fawcett most
obviously swipey. The manager shook his head more in sor-
row than in anger ; but Tokely, cocking his hat, and button-
ing up his coat in all the seeming confidence of right, said,
with many hiccups, " It's all right, Sir, I have followed your
advice, it's all right ! I've dined."—Monthly Magazine.

LITTLEHAMPTON•—The Earl of Surrey and
family are passing the Easter recess here. The Earl of Egre-
mont's next emigration ship (the fifth) will sail from Ports-
mouth on the 18th inst. An American ship and a Revenue
cutter, both dismasted, were seen off the Nab Light on Mon-
day morning. The Eliza, Pidgeon, stranded on Selsey beach
on the night of the 21st ultimo, was got off on Sunday, and
has since been brought into this harbour. Her cargo, con-
sisting of Government stores, taken in London for Sierra
Leone, was discharged on the beach in a much damaged state,
and has since been shipped for the dock -yard, Portsmouth.
The ship requires an extensive repair. The coal sloop
stranded at the same time, and in the same place, is since a
wreck. Five colliers arrived opportunely on Monday,—our
several merchants' stock of coals-being exhausted.—Brighton
Gazette.

SWALLOWING THE CORPUS DELICTI.—A num-
ber of forged notes having been put into circulation during
the last twelve months, on and around the banks of Fleet, the
Procurator Fiscal traced the uttering of one of them to
Alexander Purdie, butcher, Gatehouse. This man accord-
ingly was apprehended, and the affair legally investigated on
Tuesday last. The forged note was produced, and shown to
the vender, who the moment be saw it restored to the table,
by a sudden snatch seized and dealt with it like apiece of
bread—keeping the officers at bay with his clenched fists, and
the mouth-mill going at the same time, until he had finished,
as he had supposed, the work of mastication. During the
struggle, however, a small fragment dropped from his mouth,
which has since been identified ; but the remainder disap-
peared, and was found to be irrecoverable, despite a doctor
who happened to be present, and made a patient of the delin-
quent, by compelling him to swallow an emetic, much against
his will. The scene altogether was of the richest description,
and mention is made of an individual who was so much
alarmed, that he actually jumped out of the window. Purdie's
powers of swallowing almost equal those of the Boa Constric-
tor ; but as another note has been found issued by him, he will
make little by Tuesday's exhibition when the day of trial comes
round,—Dumfries Courier.
