INAUGURATION OF THE CORONATION STONE OF
THE ANGI.O-SAXON KINGS AT KlNGSTOX.—Yesterday the
inauguration of the coronation stone of the Anglo-Saxon
Kings, the ancestors of our illustrious Queen, took place in
the presence of the Mayor and corporation, attended by the
burgesses and a numerous assembly of visitors. The Right
Worshipful the Provincial Grand Master of the Freemasons
of the county of Surrey, assisted by the brethren of the pro-
vince and other masons, took a prominent part in the cere-
mony. This stone, until lately, stood on the north side of
the old church. According to Speed, the historian, nine of our
Saxon Monarchs were crowned in Kingston, the stone being
used as the royal seat during the ceremony. It has been re-
moved during the present Mayoralty to the centre of an open
space near the savings bank, directly opposite High-street, at
the turning into the Portsmouth-road. There it is placed on
an heptagonal pedestal of granite, which stands on a circular
base of the same material. It being uncertain whether two
of the kings mentioned by Speed were crowned at Kingston,
the corporation have selected the following seven, whose
names, with the dates of their respective coronations, are
inscribed on the faces of the pedestal, viz. :—Athelstane,
A.D. 921; Edward, A.D. 940; Edred, A.D. 946; Edgar,
A.D. 959; Edward 11., A.D. 975 ; Ethelred 11., A.D. 979;
and Edmund 11., A.D. 1016. The monument is encompassed
with iron railings, having a pillar finished with pinnacles at
each of the seven angles. At the conclusion of the ceremony
the mayor, freemasons, and visitors proceeded to the grounds
of Charles Rowlls, Esq., where an elegant clejeuner was pre-
pared. At half-past four o'clock, the children belonging to
the schools assembled at the monument, and sang the Na
tional Anthem with, a very pleasing effect; after which they
were presented with books and medals, struck by Mr. Taylor,
to commemorate the event. A series of aluatic sports at
Town's-end followed, and the festivities concluded in the
evening with a grand display of fireworks.
