the terms offered by the South-Western Railway
Company admitting them to the use of the branch
lines that Company are abent forming to Waterlo3
and Hungerford-bridges. They would thus be able
to aff.ird the inhabitants of the west-end of London
accommodation at three points—at the two last men-
tioned, and the terminus of the South-Western Com-
pany's line at Vauxhall. He ailuded to the great and
increasing difficulties of passing the thoroughfares of
the City, and mentioned the inconvenience felt on
the line at London-bridge for the want of space for
the engines, and the impossibility of conducting the.
goods traffic on the line with the desired facility.
They had, in the course of their labour's, also
found great inconvenience from the bickerings and
distaste, towards each other exhibited by the
Croydon and Greenwich Companies. It was true that
the Greenwich Company had got into other hands,
but, from, a recent correspondence, he did not think
these two Companies had for each other altogether the
affection of twin brothers—(Hear, hear)—and the
Brighton line could hardly expect to work much
more satisfactorily with them than they had done.
Another inconvenience now was, that, by the Act of
Parliament, they were compelled to run a train at a
penny per mile, while they were actually called on
by the Croydon Company to pay them three-half-
pence per mile. He did not hold out any expecta-
tions that the• proposed branch lines would be El
Dorados, but he believed they would pay a reason-
able return ; they were laid before them openly, on
the ground that the Directors believed them to be
necessary for the protection of their property.
Another part of their proceedings would be the con-
sideration of the steps necessary to carry out, under
certain Acts of Parliament, their agreement with the
holders of loan notes, who, in February next, would be
entitled to take quarter shares for every loan note; a
question would arise whether such holders should not
be allowed, if they were so disposed, to register one
integral share for four quarter shares. The Company
had no power to compel them to do so, but he be-
lieved many would be inclined to do it. He concluded
by moving the first resolution, for enabling the Di-
rectors to apply to Parliament in the ensuing session
for powers to construct the branch lines before
specified.

THE SAVOY CHAPEL.
The following Notice on the Savoy Chapel was
originally privately printed for circulation among the
parishioners. From the high interest, both architec-
tural and historital, which attaches to this, the only
remaining portiolhof the Savoy, we have thought that
it would not be uninteresting to the pu!dic generally,
to be made acquainted with what has recently been
done for the restoration of this beautiful specimen of
Tudor architecture, snore especially when it is rccel-
lected that the Savoy Chapel was the t.,hice which
the English Liturgy was for the first time publicly
read in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and that it was
the scene of the memorable Conference between the
Episcopalian and Presbyterian Divines on the Book
of Common Prayer, in 1661 :
" On the death, without issue, of Brien de Insula,
or De L'lsle, in the year 123, certain scattered
houses,' and their gardens, lying without the walls
of London, on the way or street called the Strand,'
reverted to the Crown. This property was granted
by King Henry 111., in 1245, to Peter, Count of
Savoy, on his arrival to visit his niece Queen Eleanor;
and it would appear that a mansion of some conse-
quence had already been erected on the site of the
scattered houses,' for the Count lodged here during
his stay in England. The manor retains the name
which it received from this possessor. He bequeathed
it in 1268 to the Convent and Hospital of Mont Joux
but Queen Eleanor, having formed an attachment to
the place, was anxious to recover it from these legatees.
They parted with it for the sum of three hundred
marks ; and in 1283 she bestowed it on her favourite
son Edmund (created in 1267 Earl of Lancaster).
who obtained from his brother, King Edward 1., a
royal licence to embattle with a wall his manor se
the Savoy,' and here fixed his residence. His grand-
son Henry, third Earl, and created in 1:351, Duke of
Lancaster (being the second English duksdons), re-
paired, or rather rebuilt, the castellated mansion at
the then very large cost of 34,6661. 3s. 4d.; according
to the chroniclers he chose to make this use of moneys
which had accrued to him in consequence of his dis-
tinguished services in France, more especially at
Bergerac. Camden describes the Savoy of this the
first Duke of Lancaster, as one of the fairest manors
in all England unto which there was none in
the realm to be compared for beauty.'
" In this Palace King John of } ranee was lodged
and entertained during his captivity in 1357. On his
second visit to England he again took up his abode in
the Savoy, and he died here in 1363.
" On the failure of the male line of Edmund. A.D.
1361, the Dukedom of Lancaster merged in the
Crown ; and on the 13th of November, 1362, King
Edward 111. bestowed it on his own illustrious son,
John of Gaunt, he having married one of the co-
heiresses (who became, ultimately, the sole heiress)
of Henry, Duke of Lancaster.
" During the latter years of his father's long reign
this Prince resided usually in a style of extraordinary
magnificence at the Savoy ; but the protection which
he afforded to the principles of Wickliffe having ex-
cited the populace against him, his palace was sacked
by an insurgent mob in 1381, his treasury rifled, his
moveables carried away, or cast into the Thames, and
the whole building finally burnt to the ground. It
appears from a letter of the Duke to the treasurer of
his household, Sir John de Norfolk, in February,
1382, that his Castle of Hertford who was seized and
plundered, par les niemes communes rebels en le temps
del grant rumour. The Duke directs that allowance
shall be made to his butler for wines thus destruz et
perduz ; namely, 18 tonneles et une pipe et trois
quarters d'une pipe des diverses vignes en notre
Manoire de la Savoye,' and a smaller quantity in
nostre Chastel de Hertford.'
" Thus perished the Palace of the Savoy. The
manor descended to John of Gaunt's son, Henry of
Bolingbroke, and on his accession to the throne as
Henry IV., it was vested in the Crown as part of the
Duchy of Lancaster, and thus acquired its peculiar
dignity and privileges as a royal manor.
" There appears no evidence that any royal per-
sonage ever resided here during the period between
the accession of Henry IV. and the latter years of
Henry VII. ; but the records mark from time to
time moneys paid for the improvement of the Savoy
gardens and repairs of the ancient prison attached to
the Liberty. The appointments of the stewards and
high bailiffs of the manor are regularly noted, and
some names of celebrity occur among the successive
holders of these offices.
" In the will of King Henry VII. (dated 31st of
March, 1509) it is recited that the establishment of
royal hospitals doth tend to the performance of the
seven great works of charity and mercy, and that the
same seven works do stand most constantly in six of
them ;—to wit, in visiting the sick, ministering meat
and drink to the hungry and thirsty, and clothing to
the naked, and lodging to the miserable poor, and in
burying the dead bodies of Christian people. It is
then stated that the King had begun to erect a
common hospital in his palace, called the Savoy,
beside Charing-cross, and intended, with God's grace,
to finish the same according to a plan which was de-
vised for the same, and signed with his own hand;'
that he had endowed it with lands and tenements to
the yearly value of five hundred marks 'to maintain
one hundred beds garnished to receive, and lodge
nightly, one hundred poor folks, as also a certain
number of priests, and other ministers and servitors;'
that in case the hospital should not be finished at his
death, his executors were as soon as goodly might
be done' to fulfil his design, and that for the first pro-
vision thereof, the building, the garnishing of the
hundred beds, the purchase of books, chalices, vest-
ments, &c., requisite for 'the Chapel of the said
hospital,' &c., he had delivered in ready money
beforehand the sum of ten thousand marks to the
Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's. In the second
year of his reign King Henry VIII. accordingly
granted to the Bishop of Winchester and his father's
other executors, by letters patent, under the seal of
the Duchy of Lancaster, the site of the manor of the
Savoy, in trust for the completion of the plan above-
mentioned; and two years later he re-confirmed this
grant, and gave the executors licence to found a per-
petual hospital, consisting of a Master Chaplain, and
four other chaplains, to be incorporated by the name
of the Hospital of King Henry the Seventh of the
Savoy. The Abbot of Westminster was to be the
visitor of the institution, and take care that prayers
and masses were regularly said in the Chapel for the
souls of King Henry VII. and his royal predecessors.
" In the first of Edward VI. the hospital was one
of the many institutions declared to be illegal as
directed to superstitious purposes ; and the master and
chaplains by a surrender, enrolled in Chancery, gavel
it up to the King. In the fourth of Philip and Mary,
however, the hospital was re-established for the old
purposes, and with its old statutes—the only difference
being, that as there was no longer any Abbot of
Westminster, the functions of visitor were to be in
the Sovereign. It does not appear to what use the
revenues of the Savoy endowment had been applied
during this brief abrogation, but Stowe mentions that
the beds and other furniture had been granted to the
hospitals of St. Thomas and Bridewell, and that on
the re-establishment 'the ladies of the court and
maydens of honour stored the same anew with beddes,
bedding, and other furniture, in very ample manner :
a thing not to be forgotten.'
" The hospital does not seem to have been again
interfered with, or its resources diverted from the
original purposes of charity, though some variations
occurred in the manner of appointing the masters,
during the interval between the re-foundation by
Philip and Mary and the Restoration of Charles 11.
" Very soon after the great Fire of London, the
Savoy suffered under a minor devastation of the same
sort. The apartments allotted to the chaplains, called
the Brothers' Lodgings, were wholly destroyed,' and
it is probable that they never were rebuilt.
" Towards the end of the calamitous war with
Holland the greatest difficulty had been found in pro-
viding fit accommodation for our wounded seamen
and soldiers, and shortly after the Peace was signed—
the same inconvenience still pressing—Charles 11. was
advised to convert the dormitory of the Savoy hospital
into a military and marine infirmary. Presently
(1675) the lodgings of the sisters and servitors were
occupied in a similar manner. As the invalids re-
covered, or died off; companies of the Foot Guards
took possession of the chambers, and thus by degrees
the remaining buildings received a totally new desti-
nation. They became a regular barrack.
" The last visitation of the hospital was held in
July, 1702, by the Lord Keeper, Sir Nathan Wright,
as visitor of all hospitals of royal foundation. There
was at the time no master, but four chaplains ap-
peared, and on the allegation that the statutes had not
been conformed to—as how could they have been ob-
served, when the chambers and beds were seized on
and detained for the use of the military ?—the visitor
deprived the chaplains of their phices, and the ho-
spital was declared to be dissolved.
" A Bill was soon afterwards ato applyrdslaidthlseefroerveenPuaersliao-f
ment, to enable Q
the dissolved hospital to whatever charitable objects
her Majesty might think fit. It states that the parish
of St. Mary, in the Strand, had long been without a
church—that it was expedient to conjoin that parish
and the Precinct of the Savoy—and proposed that
the minister of the Savoy should thenceforth be the
rector of the united parish. The Bill, however was
opposed, on the ground that its objects were not in
conformity with the charitable purpose of the original
foundation at the Savoy. It was lost accordingly,
and has never been revived.
" It would appear that the people residirg near the
chapel had, from a very early period, been much in
the habit of attending Divine service there, but that
it first came to be looked upon as in the nature of a
parish church, in consequence of the' sweeping de-
struction of sacred edifices by which the Protector
Somerset cleared the space destined for his great
palace in the Strand and its splendid gardens.
Among the churches which he thus levelled to the
ground was that of St. Mary-le-Strand. No attetept
to rebuild that church was thought of until the begin •
ning of the last century, and the existing ediEce was
not opened for worship until
-1723.

" The ancient Chapel of the Savoy had been re-
gularly used by the adjacent population for some time,
and had already come to be commonly called the
Church of St. Mary-le-Savoy, before it was proposed
to Queen Elizabeth to sanction tile creation of a eiis-
trict parish, by throwing together a part of the parish
of St. Clement Danes and the Royal Precinct of the
Savoy, with the hospital chapel us its church. This
arrangement, being approved of by the then Blab p of
London, Grindail, was carried into effect;—and, the
wider annexation suggested in Queen Anne's time
not having taken place, the chapel continuee to be
what Queen Elizabeth left it. It is a parochial
benefice in the gift of her Majesty, in right of her
Duchy of Lancaster; and before the householders,
beyond the Precinct of the Savoy, were admitted to
the formal participation in it as their parish church,
they signed an instrument renouncing all claim to
any right or property in the chapel itself, or in any
part of the precinct.
" There is a constant tradition, that when the
Liturgy in the vernacular tongue was restored by
Queen Elizabeth, this chapel was the first place in
which the t•ervice was performed. It was in this
chapel also that the memorable conference between
the Episcopalian and Presbyterian divines on the
Book of Common Prayer was held, in the year 1661 ;
and the result of that conference constitutes one of
the most important events in the history of the
Anglican establishment.
" The benefice has been held by more than one
distinguished ornament of the Chili of England ;
among others, by Dr. Anthony Horneek, the favourite
Chaplain of King William 111., and one of the most
celebrated preachers of his age.
"At !oils times, since the beginning of the reign
el Henry VIII., the chapel is ineetioned as requiring
aed receiving extensive repairs; but there seems to be
no reason for doubting that • the existing building is
the same that was erected and consecrated in com-
pliance with the testamentary orders of King Henry
VII. The position of the altar at the northern ex-
tremity has been described reeent:y as `anomalous
and unprecedented;' hut the magnificent work of
Mr. Gaily Knight, )n the Ecclesiastical Architec-
ture of Italy, from the Earliest Ages to the Fifteenth
Century, presents copious evidence that the placing
of the altar at the eastern end was by no means
uniformly the practice of rtmote aetiquity. In the
Chapel of St. James's Palace, which was arranged in
the reign of Henry VIII., the altar is in the same
situation as at the Savoy, and the beautiful roof
itself, of the latter chapel, affords the clearest possible
proof' that its decorations were settled before Henry
VIII. mooted the divorce of Catharine of Arragon,
and that the drawings were executed with reference
to the actual position of the alter.
" The ceiling of the chapel had long been de-
formed and obscured under coatings, of whitewash,
before the ruinous condition of its wood-work di-
rected attention to the details of its original embel-
lishment; but her Majesty's munificence having
authorised a complete restoration, the whole of these
may now be examined distinctly, which was not the
case when certain architectural critics alleged that the
building must have been set apart for sacred purposes
during the prevalence of puritan theories.
" The chapel, now insulated, was originally, as an
old print shows, connected with other parts of the
hospital. It is throughout in the Tudor style, its
interior dimensions 90 by 24 feet. The tower at the
southern end is a modern addition. The walls
within are quite without ornament ; it is probable
that carved woodwork was destroyed as well as
painted glass (in the northern window, at least,)
during the Commonwealth. The chapel contains
some elegant ancient monuments, and one which,
though curious, cuts, unfortunately, into the original
design of the altar-piece or reredos.
" The ceiling resembles the nearly contemporary
one of the chapel at St. James's Palace, being wholly
of wood (oak and pear tree), flat, with a slight cove
next the walls; hut, instead of the angular panels
which cover the whole surface at the Chapel Royal,
with the initials H. A. (Henry VIII. and Anne 13o-
leyn) painted on them, the roof in the Savoy is
divided by moulded ribs into one hundred and thirty-
eight quatrefoil panels, each enriched with a carved
ornament, either of sacred or of historical significance.
The panels number twenty-three in the length of
the chapel, and six in its width. The ten ranges,
commencing at the north window, and extending
considerably to the southward of the altar-steps, have
each in its centre a shield, surrounded by the crown
of thorns—each shield presenting in high relief some
feature or emblem of the passion and death of our
Lord ; and all de: ased and arranged in a style Of
which we have mail examples in sacred buildings of
the fifteenth and sixteenth centeries. it one quatre-
foil ere the garment and the dice ; in another the
cross; in a third tlie sponge and the spear; in a
fourth is the head of the high priest's servant, with the
sword of Peter behind his ear. Elsewhere we see a
halbert and a lantern ; the column and scourge; a
torch and cressel ; the salutation of Judas ; the heeds
of Peter and Piletc'e servant ; the cock ; the heads
of Pilate and CaiapLes •the five wounds on a rim t,
two Lends, and two feet; a pelican ; an open sepulchre
with three pots of me rrh. The exterior panels
have angels supporting the cross, the ladder, the
spear, the crown of ftterns, the napkin of St.Veronice,
and -the column e the scourging. lhe paneie
throughout the reefs-, tif the ceiling are occupied by
bearings or badges, indicating the various families
from which the royal lineage was derived, and more
particularly the alliances of the House of Lancaster ;
each of these panels being surrounded, in place of
the crown of thorns towards the altar end, with a
torce or wreath tinted with the livery colours of the
various families respectively. Thus we have the Red
Dragon of Cadwallader ; the Black Bull of Clare ; the
White Hart of Richard II.; the White Hind of his
mother, the Fair Maid of Kent ; the White Falcon
of York ; the White Lion of March ; the Antelope
of Henry V. ; the Winged Stag of France; the
Golden Lion, regally crowned, of England; the
White Greyheend of Henry VII.; the Antelope and
Ibex, with curved horns and spotted skin, being the
badge or 'Beste' of Margaret of Richmond, mother
of that King, the same that is displayed so frequently
on her colleges at Cambridge : and in many of the
smaller compartments, what has already been alluded
to as making the date of the decoration, the Pome-
granate of Catherine of Arragon, a badge first adopted
by her father on the surrender of Granada in 1491.*
" There can be no doubt that the use of rich colours
was general in the interior of our ancient churches,
more especially cathedrals and chapels royal. The
example of restoring the splendid blazonry which had
been obliterated in times of puritan fanaticism, and
afterwards neglected, was set about twenty years ago
in the metropolitan church of Canterbury. It has
been followed in many places, nowhere more happily
or more magnificently than in the Temple Church.
And the restoration of the Savoy ceiling would surely
have been incomplete, had what were originally its
characteristic features been allowed to remain in their
recent obscurity.
" The other alterations lately made were adopted
with a view to the greater comfort of the congrega-
tion. A superfluous doorway has been walled up,
and the other approach widened; but the beautiful
carved work which had thus to be removed, is placed
in another part of the chapel, and the new wooden
carving, requisite where it had stood, has been done
exactly on its model. The pulpit (no doubt of Eliza-
bethan date) has been shifted to a more convenient
position, and her Majesty has been graciously pleased
to grant the chapel a good organ, in lieu of the
barrel-organ, which was all it seems ever to have
possessed previously.
"The great north window had been bricked up and
covered by a wretched painting. It has now been re-
opened. and the parishioners having, in grateful ac-
knowledgment of her Majesty's liberality es to the
structure in general, requested permission to fill it
with stained glass at their own expense, it is restored
in a very satisfactory manner. In the lower central
compartment is the figure of St. John the Baptist, to
whom the hospital, of the Savoy was dedicated ; the
side compartments, on the same range, have the
emblems of the other Evangelists. Ihe letter L ,
surmounted with the Ducal Coronet, the Red Rose Of
Lancaster, and the Lions and Fleurs-de Lis of the
Plantagenet escutcheon, have been introduced in other
parts; and the jamb is inscribed thus This window
was glazed at the cost of the Congregation, in honour
of God, and in gratitude to our Queen Victoria.'"

* The devices on this ailing are naziutely explained
in Mr. Willement's Heraldic work.

QUEEN
Q, EN AND GIBSON, THE ScuLrTon.--The
Queen sat for a bust to Mr. Gibson, a short time pre-
vious to his departure for Rome. He is commissioned
Qto produce a full-length statue of her Majesty. The
ueen and her Royal Consort were highly pleased with
the ‘york of the accomplished sculptor, whom they 'T-
o ived and treated with marked urbanity and considera-
tion—with a gracious delicacy, indeed—which made the
artist at once at ease in " the presence." Two or three
slight incidents occurred during his '6-it to Windsor,
which are worthy of note, as exhibiting her Majesty's
generous thought in regard to the pleasures of her sub-
jects. Mr. Gibson's attention was directed to the posi-
tion occupied by a statue, the work of Wyatt. Passing
into another apartment, a place was pointed out as that
originally selected for it. Gibson saw at once that this
was a site far more advantageous to the production of
his friend, and said so. Her Majesty immediately re-
plied, " I think with you; but, if placed here, the people
would not be able to see it." During one of the sittings,
the Prince of Wales was brought into the room. Mr.
Gibson said, " Your Majesty, I am a Welshman: will
your Majesty allow me to kiss the hand of the Prince of
Wales?" The Queen looked pleased, and was pleased;
and the sculptor knelt, and " did his devoir as a cour-
tier."—Art Union.

TIM CORN TRADE.—Although this trade has been
very quiet for some time, we hear that con' iderable
orders for the purchase of foreign grain have been sent
out to the Baltic. At the present prices, at home and
abroad, good Baltic wheat could pay 20s. duty, the.
freight and charges, and just clear itself. Then can
however, be no importation at present on aeoout of the,
ice.—Liverpool Times.
