Upon which the Queen gracio,sly accepted
the dutiful offering Of the city, saying, with
the emphatic brcvity Of a good wife who knew
her influence, "Leave all to me-"
BY this time the King had arrived at his pa
lace Of Westminster, the great hall Of which
was ornancnted with hangings more splendid
than the pen can describe. Richards throne
was prepared upon the Kings Bench, which
royal tribunal he ascended, sceptre in hand,
and sat in great majesty, when the Queen
and tho rest Of the procession entered the
hall.

He seated the gentle Queen beside him on
the throne. The King then epokc, and ali
listened IN s!lence, both high ana low. lie
addressed the Lord Mayor.

he ancient faith despise the new doctrines
unknown to your fathers; defend the Catho-

order Of men in it that is not dedicated to the
