ROYAL S • r-Tr in the year 1807, when Mr. Fox's admi-
nistration resigned, on account of the Catholic Question, the
University of t:,ambridge addressed the Ktero. The late Dr.
Craven, Master of St. • John's College, (then far advenecd
in years) was one of the deputation, who • always hiss hands
when the Address 'and Answer have been read. When
it came to the i)r.'s turn, instead of putting Ins hand under
the King's; and raising •it to his lips, he shook
..the KING
by the hand, and said " God bless jou." • Such a taken of ir-
regular respect and affection-from so venerable a person, seemed
more acceptable to his MAJESTY than the Address itself, and
was received mast graciously.
• Bae'rsess PEEIrAG E.—The number. of Peers of Great Bri-
tain, halt pendent of the Bishops, is exactly WO: of these, !)0
have become ennobled els Courtiers ; 'l7as Younger Branches
of Nobility; 39 as Statesmen ; by Diplomatic Services ;17
by Nava; f"11 by Military.; 39 by Legal; 39 by Marriap ;
and 227 by the influence of 'Wealth, &c. There are 92
chelors ; 64 Widowers ;• and 344 who are Married. Of the
403 Married end Widowers, 99 are without Children ; and the
remaining 309 have, now living, 755 Sons; and 703 Daughters.
The Paternel descent of 156 Peers can be trnd:d to the Con-
quest, or ilth Century ; that of -51 to the 12th Century ; 52 to
the 13th ; 35 to the 14th ' • 35 to the 15th ; 60 to the lath ; 59
to the 17th; and 3 to the 18th Century ; the genealogies of the
remeining.49 cannot be traced, with sufficient accuracy to war-
rant insertion. The aneestois of 78 of the Peers, *hose descent
can be taced to the Conquest, were settled in England pt-evious
to that event; the other 78 came over with the Convezor. Of
the ..Inceitors of the remainder, 31 have 'emigrated to this
try since that period. '
'CHARLES' THE Fritm—The sheet which received the head
of CtIAILLES I. after its decapitation,: is carefully
„preserved
along with the commitnion plate in the church of Ashbarnham,
in this county ; the blood, • with _which it has been almost en-
tirely covered, now appears nearly black. The watch of the
unfortunate 2`,lonarch is also deposited with the linen, the meve-
meats of which are still perfect. These relics came into the
possession of Lord AsußunxnAm immediately after the
death of the King.—(BiuDirroN HERALD.)

Iris recorded the,rise and fall of nations;

CI:!-.Protestantr.;', 01;',.7,:ne,t1 by the bioo.d of their
neli•tyrsi•established hy,their ancestors, and main-
t:2ineti inviolable, as it has been for upwards of a
century,. is now to be• left defteneele.s or preg-
nable to Popish innovations, to political intrigue,
or private interest. It is a fact very worthy of
remark, that the Opposition Journals have for the
most part been
.silent on the sulject of - the,Ca-.
thulic Question ; and why so ? t is to What
pcc.,ple,.to let them slurs:her- until the firc-
ir•:::;d of Catholic persecution _shall. be applied
to then: ; is to let them tread on with-
c.•: a
_warning upon the path they are stow pur-
sai,ng,untll they have entered the Catholic Baran-
cipation toils, when the nets will be sr read, and
the mrsuspecting Protestants becoe the prey
.of
Papa! bigotry. • No Journals have- attempted
the defence of Catholic Emancipation, and on.a
just ground, if Protestantism is to ex.ist they
never can. Ask the Catholic, what is heresy, and
ask him; if it is not consistent, and
.not only
so, :but imperative in the laws of the Church,
to extirpate heretics by any means • whatever,
practicable
,with safety to themselves. If, as
min of genuine honour, whom: ;he belief of
the infallibility of their. Church influence, can
they deny the truth of the assertion ? If, with-
oht mental reservations, they can, tiles- are the
Protestants unjust, and State" should have its
Popish Senators. Consiiler the -petitions that
r't.- pres-ented' from. all' pttrtie's iitainst the-i ro-
duction of Papists into the LegislaZure ; hear
and read the arguments, so sound; so numerous,
and uncoritradieted,' upon not tnert...l% the in-:-
policy of sueh a measure, lint the injustice that
would-be counitt4d, and the. tyranny that in a.f-
tertime must ensue from it. Ever since the lie-
formation have' the. works.of the learned abound-
ed with sentiments of this kind; and to this day
it is the general feeling, and is the incessant voice
of the public preSs, 'pouring forth its cool but
reasonable objections to such threatened un
constitutional and terrific innovation. But what
Will these appeals avail .when one party in the
State can effect its ohject, whatever it may be or
whenever it may suit ? If such is the case,
(and some proof of such 'has, of late times,
been yielded,) the _ Press may then, in-
deed, by them be looked down upon with
indifference and contempt ; it may never be
seen, perhaps ; for awhile it may not be heard
—but one general burst in the voices of a Pro.,
testant and deluded nation, will speak, nay will
effect one day or other, that which intrigue, im-
po:icy, interest, or call it what you may, infatua-
tion, shall have for the moment yoked upon this
people. Are the Protestants, too, not suffering
—have not they a claim upon the State ? Where
is the real benefit of the reiterated boast of " the
people's right of election"—where is the re-
ported " voice of the people"—where is. their
" representation" to be found—surely, not in the
Members 'for a Borough, 'who can return them-
selves. Arc the Protestants, then, who have en-
dured their grievances so long, to he attended to
the last, and the Catholics to be paid first ? The
Protestants have not forfeited their claims, I
trust, by their passive obedience and loyalty ;
let,' then, their debt be' ii.OW.dliicha.rged. They
claim their due, and it shoeld, in my opinion, be
given—a restoration of the rights to the Elective
Franchise.'

A PROTESTANT.

FRANCIS REGNIER, an ,elegant French Poet
and translator, of the seventeenth century, was a
man of such inflexible integrity of character, that
he was called the abbe PERTINAX. -Upon a par-
ticular occasion, a person high in office, from
whom he had some expectations, pressed him to
stretch a point so far as to tell an untruth. "If
you do not comply with my request," said the
great man, in an angry tone, " you will rue the
consequences, for I. am resolved to quarrel with
you. " Whatever the consequences may be,"
replied REGNIEn, coolly, " I had much rather
you should quarrel with :tie for my refusal of your
request,Than that I should quarril with myself
for complying "with it."—ln his elegant poems,
gaiety is blended with moral reflections. Among
his short pieces there is one which he sent to a
lady, with the present of a violet. The flower is
supposed to address her in the following strain of
sweet and delicate compliment :

" Modeste.en o-ia couletr, modeste en mon sejoar,
Franche d'ambition, je me eathe sots l'hethe ;
. Mais si sUr votre front je pnis me voir on :to-Lir;
La plus humble deb flears.sera la plus supefoe."

" Beneath the friendly haWthorn's spray,
A native of the lowly vale,

• And with my. lyreith -perat,:ae the gale.

The will of the late light Hon. .HARRIOT
Countess Dowager of Essex was proved in the
Prerogative Court of the Archbishop of Canter.-
bury, in Docto:s: Commons, on the :id inst. by
the oath of the Right HOn.-ThOmasEarl of Claren-
don, the sole executor. The personal estate was
sworn under 2.5,0000.?.. /ler Ladyship desires
to he buried at WatfOrd, near the late Earl.—
The bulk of her real and personal property is left
to her sons, the Hob. Edward Thomas Capel,
William Robert Cape!, and Thomas Bladen
Capel, who are residuary legatees. The
plate is principally gjyen to her son the
Honourable John Thomas Cape!, except in case
of his
.becoming heir to the CaShiobury estate,
under the will of the present Earl, in which case
it is to go to the-other three sons. Various ar-
ticles of plate and jewellery .are left to her
aforesaid sons and daugtiters-in-law, and other
friends ; among ethers, a gold clock, standing
in the. bow-room, in Curzon-street, to Lady L.
Damer; her Ladyship's servants are particularly re-
membered, chiefly in annuities. There are eight
codicils, made principally. for these, atter pur4,
poses. The will is dated the 9th Jay, 18;7.

The practice of adorning the cielings of rooms
with circles of various flowers and a large rose ,i.s
the center continued dowti to the tine of
Revolution, and probably to a later period ; and-
if we are correct in our recollection, there-is a.
very large Rose in the riding Of the school of
Saint Mary's College, -Winchester, which was
finished in 1687; but why this symbol of Secresy
was chosen we cannot conjecture, unless in
ference to the adage, that " tales are not to be
told outof school:"
