Miss Strickland-shew was met at the
and the City dignitaries. As she rode
In great state, Garter King alarms
carrying a sceptre before her, she wore
purple velvet riding dress, which
suited her fine figure. Her evil genius,
Lord Robert Dudley, whom she hal
already named her master of the
Horse, rode by her side. His sole
claim to the honor W his handsome
that he, along with poor Edward Cour-
tenay. had been prisoner in the Tower
when she was in the same evil plight.
She entered Cripplegate. and pas sed by
the wall at Bishopsgate. "Ihis gate
was richly hanged, and tbereupon the
waits of the City sounded loud muslck.
When she reached ''Martlane," peal
of ordnance began at the Tower, which
continued for half an hour. AS she
entered the Tower gate she made
speech, according to her invariable
custom. "Some have fallen from being
princes in this land to being prisoners
in this place"-(were her thoughts of
her unhappy mother when she said
these words:)-"I am raised from being
q prisoner In this place to be a prince
of the land. That detection was a
work of Gods Justice: This advance
ment is a work of His mercy; as they
were to yield patience for the one, SO
1 must bear myself to God thankful,
and TO men merciful and beneficial for
the other"
The speech is almost suspiciously
appropriate and antithetical, but its
10 irah har
beth's passion for delivering speeches,
while Its tone agrees with her love of
pointing a moral, drawing sharp con-
trasts, and appealing to Heaven, not
only In acknowledging the Divine
goodness where she was concerned,
but also in illustration of the position
which she claimed as Gods chosen
servant.
1t is said that on the first Christmas
Day after her succession, Elizabeth,
with her train, qui ted her closet after
the reading of the gospel before the
repudiated. Her next step was the
proclamation that from the following
New Years Day, 1859 the Epistle aud
throughout the land. The last was, with
measure where Protestants were con-
cerned. 1.-The fir t morsel of prayer
and Scripture in the English tongue
was most sweetly swallowed.
On the 18th of January, Elizabeth
paid her second visit 10 the Tower, in
anticipation of her coronation. She
went on this occasion by water, sailing
from Westminster in her barge, es-
corted by a magnificent feet of barges,
in cluding those of the Mayor and the
different guilds. She did not land at
Traitors Gate on this occasion, but at
the private stairs reserved for the
Sovereign on Tower Wharf. The 18th
of January had been appointed for her
coronation, the stars in their courses
having declared it highly fortunate day
for the ceremony, according to the
mathematician and astrologer, DR..
John Dee e-Elizabeth's old ally during
the last months of her stay at Wood
stock, when he WAS resident of Oxford.
DIR. Dee WAS now the occupant of a
house at Mortlake and was at the
height of his fame-full of business In
drawing up the horoscopes of the
principal nobility and adventurous
sailors and soldiers of the day.
On the afternoon of Satur-
day the 18th, Elizabeth starte
from the Tower to make the
grandest of all her grand professions
through the city to Westminster. The
scene was one of unparalleled rejoicing
the pageants were succession of tri-
umphs; the people we're half mad with
Joy; the dark days of the late reign,
with its prosecutions at home and
losses abroad, we're ended, and IN a fair
way to he forgotten, though one OF
their disastrous consequences was the
poverty of the Royal exchequer. Mary
had been raising money from Flemish
money-lenders at an enormous inter
est. The last bonds, lying IN her
death chamber waiting for her sigma
ture, were used by her women to "cere
her corpse" Had not Cecil sent out

great shows she made up by the ex-

tion of her demeanor. Never was Queen

a great rose pageant mocking the
