The Advocate Of yesterday quotes two
paragraphs, the first from the London Morn
ing Post. and the other from the True BriIon,
both asserting, that elegant bedding and other
furniture had bsen sent by the Kings uphoi-
stereE to the state apartments in the Tower.
The Advocate adds, from the above, II Is

conviction Of the Queen, are preparing rooms
in the Tower for her. The axe which sever
ed the heads from Asna Boieyn and Mary,
is still there but ii will cost Csstereagh and
Liverpool their heads il they attempt TO use
IT.
