-44 A square canopy of crymson cloth of gold, a
chisible, and two tunicles, and three copes of
blue velvet bordered, with three albs, three mass
books, three grails, and seven processioners.—
(Grail, a gradual or book, containing some of the
offices of the Romish Church.—Processioners
seem to mean banners.)"—p. 27.
The second part of this interesting work con-
tains the imprisonment, trial, and execution of
Mary Queen of Scots, from which we shall select
a few notices :

" As she passed through Buxton, on her way to this castle.
she wrote the following lines on a pane of glass, at the inn of
that place :
Buxtona, quw tepidas celebrabere numine
Buxtona, forte iterum non adeunda, vale !
TRANSLATION.
Buxton, whose tepid fountain's power,
Far-famed, can health restore ;
Buxton, farewell ! I go—perchance
To visit thee no more !"

Upon her refusal to see the Bishop and Dean of
Peterborough before her execution, the Earl of
Kent, in the heat of his zeal for the reformed reli-
gion, turning towards her, broke forth into these
words, amongst other speeches—" Your life will
be the death of our religion, as contrariwise your
death will be the life thereof." This she took
notice of, and, when at supper, she said, "They
say that I must die, because 1 have plotted
against the Queen's life : yet the Earl of Kent
tells me, that there is no other cause of tn.zi death,
but that they are afraid of their religion, because
of me. Neither hath my offence against the
Queen, but their fear because of me, drawn this
end of me, while some, under the colour of reli-
gion and the public good, aim at their own libricate
respects and advantages."—p. 93. She also no-
ticed this hasty speech of the Earl of Kent, in
her letter to the French King, her brother-in-
law, in the following words :—" Tin: Catholic
religion, and. the defence of the right %illicit God
has given me to this crown, are the t wio points of
my condemnation, yet they will not permit me
to say that I died for my religion, by t for fear of
making change in theirs."—p. 95. Lihortly after
her interment, a Latin epitaph, co:u posed by Mr.
Blackwood, and inscribed on a taMet, was hung
up near the grave, of which the following is a
translation :

" Mary, Queen of Scots, a King's daughter, widow of the
King of the French, cousin and next heir to the Queen of Eng-
land, adorned with Royal virtues and a Royal mind (the Royal
authority being often implored in vain), by the barbarous
cruelty and tyrannical sentence of the English, the ornament
of our age, and the Royal light, is extinguished. And by the
same nefarious judgment, both Mary, Queen of Scots, bath
suffered a natural death, and all other Princes (made plebeian)
suffer a civil death. A new and unheard kind of tomb is this,
in which the living are included with the dead. Know, with
the sacred ashes of, the divine Mary, here lies prostrate and
violate the majesty of all Kings and Princes. And because
this silmt Royal monument abundantly admonishes Ifings of
their duty, traveller, I say no more."—p. 126.

This tablet was soon taken down, by i.v}►ose
order is not known. Over the grave was pendent
a helmet and escutcheon, which was dest.royed
in the great Rebellion; but a view of it, from
a drawing by Dugdale, are among the embellish-
ments to this volume.

After thus slightly analyzing the contents of
this valuable Work, and selecting therefrom a
few of the interesting materials of which it is
composed, we are enabled to assert, that it is a
well-digested composition, and contains many
valuable articles for the elucidation of the science
of TopogrApby. It will form an excellent ac-
companiment to the Life of Mr. Secretary Da-
vison, by Nicholas Harris Nicolas, Esq. noticed
in a former Paper.

Those who.are possessed of the latter Work,
we would recommend to purchase BONNETS
HISTORIC NOTICES OF FOTIIERINGPIAY7 a Work
that is well illustrated with elegant engravings.

MR. MARRYA TT, M.P. FOR SA.NDIVICII

Mr. JOSEPH MA RRYAVr was M.P. for Sand-
wich; and this was the fourth Parliament in
which he had represented that place. He was
well known, and greatly respected. He had often
fought the battles of the Merchants of Lloyds,
and he was the Atlas of the West India Islaids,
especially of Grenada, for which he was the
special Agent. He left Wimbledon about 11
o'clock, accompanied by his son; and the car-
riage set them down at Southwark-bridge, as was
the general custom. Mr. Marryatt was then in
perfect health, and walked heartily towards the
City. The coachman returned to 'Wimbledon,
to brinc, Mrs. M. and the rest of the family to the
town house in George-street, 'Westminster.—
Soon after the apoplectic attack which visited Mr.
Marryatt, his brother., Samuel Marryatt, Esq. the
king's Counsel, drove in his carriage, to George-
street ; but the brother's feelings were so over-
powered, that he could impart none of the
mournful intelligence, nor say any thing to
the establishment as to what had taken place.—
An express, however, was forwarded to Wim-
bledon-hous.e to Mrs. Marryatt, to inform her
of the afflicting news, so that the family did not
come to town. Mr. Marryatt invariably took
his seat on the lower benches of the Ministerial
side of the House. He, however, was by no
means a " thick and thin" Treasury Bench
Member. On modern mercantile. " measures,"
he differed from those with whom 'he might be
considered as generally acting ; and as to the
Privileges" of the House, he decidedly took
a popular course. During the discussions re-
specting the late Princess of Wales, urged on
by. Mr. Whitbread, it may be remembered that
the " Gallery was cleared," by which means
the reporters were excluded in common with the
" strangers." Mr. Marryat declared, in the pre-
sence of the writer of this article, that while
he held a seat in the House, there should be
no debates with " closed doors." If others
were excluded, to the best of his ability
he would report himself ; the Members were
the representatives of the people of England, and,
as far as he was personally concerned, the people
of England should know what their " represen-
tatives" were doing. He kept his word ; ample
notes were given ; a good report of those pro-
ceedings which took place within " closed doors"
appeared in the- papers of the next day. The
House never took any notice of such " violation"
of its privileges.— ( Herald.)
Mr. MA RRYATT, we find, died at his Bank-
ing-honse,_ Mansion. House-street, and. not at
Lloyd's, as stated yesterday.
