Sedley, writing some verses on Don Alonzo, who, for making love to the Infanta of Portugal, is said to have met with the severe misfortune of being cut into little pieces, speaks of his innamorata, the gentle nymph, as confined to a holy gaol, and in commiseration grant this family became possessed of lands in Leicestershire and instead thereof assumed the cross of St. George, the patron of his couutry, and five escallop shells on it, to show the cause of his expedition, being ancient badges of those Croissades and these continue to be the arms of his descendants.

Prayers were said by the Vicar and the Rev. T. L. Symes, and the lessons were read, the first by the Rev. A.

Kemple, and the second by the Rev. Paul Bush. The Bishop said the ante-communion service, Canon Martin reading the epistle, and the Archdeacon Hob-house the gospel. The Bishop preached the sermon from stations The liberty wherewith Christ has made us free." Luncheon took place at the Townhall, and was attended by about 250 ladies and gentlemen. The Mayor presided.

The Vicar rose to propose a toast. He did not give it, he said, in wine, because he, as a member of the Church of England Temperance Society, deemed that inconsistent but he did it in water, believing that to be quite equal for the purpose to good old crusted port. (Applause and laughter.) Ho proposed BishuP of the 1 many uhuiks tor nan he uad been .) l.ia was lhe part of his an earnest of coiidnt- to-day a. pleased to take, first visit of th dioees, ut he i ukuifc th r'llaue tr rioted many more to follow. (Applause.) Tlie Lhshop responded to tlie toast in a very genial bpeecb.

It was a great pleasure to him to couif co Likeard upon any public occasion, and of course to do that when their great beautiful church had been renewed close to the beginning of his own brand newness was very delightful. (Applause.) He was delighted that Mr. Lewis Foster had taken him in at the south door, for a more impressive scene in architecture he really scarcely knew. The singular chapels on the north side and the taste with which everything had been arranged impressed him immensely. The architect had worked in a spirit which shewed that the singularities of the building had been very dear to him, and he (the Bishop) would not give much cr the architect who did not love the building he worked upon.

(Applause.) The committee had done wisely in doing what they could solid and massively and well, and reserving part of the work until ampler funds justified them in undertaking it. ('Hear, hear.) He was charged that day with a health which would be received with the greatest gratification the health of the Mayor. (Applause.) This event would make the mayoralty of Mr. Jenkin memorable. (Applause.) By his presence as Mayor, with the ancient insignia of his office, he had given that morning's congregation its chief charm.

Nothing ouht so to impress a Christian citizen as on enu, nig the chief Christian temple of an English town to see the Mayor in his place, surrounded by his councillors and insignia. (Applause.) Thus we had the work of this world undertaken and done under the blessing of God. Their Mayor succeeded to an ancient and honourable seat. There was a mayor there who considered himself the successor of a long line of mayors from the time of Richard II. Liskeard was also one of four coinage towns it had memories of Charles and had boasted among its Members of Parliament such men as Coke, and Oibbon the historian and one other interesting and very great personage connected with the place was Dean Prideaux, and he hoped that was a descendant of the dean whose face he (the Bishop) had seen that day, and he asked who it was.

(Hear, hear.) Then Liskeard boasted that it had done a great deal to set the vorld right, for at one time all the meridians of latitude and longitude, by means of the scientific labours of Mr. Prideaux's great great grandfather, were calculated from Liskeard. He hoped Liskeard would do this again, not only in moral things, but in religious and spiritual things, so that people around in that sense might again take their bearings from the meridian of Liskeard. (Applause.) It was a delight to see families connected with Liskeard taking such intense interest in everything that concerned its church. The honoured name of Foster would never cease to be honoured.

(Applause.) And what he delighted in was to see men not looking as if the load was bearing heavily upon them, and the collar hurting their necks, but to see them bearing the burden lightly and receiving one with smiles and cheerfulness, as though Mr. Foster had really nothing to do. (Applause.) The Mayor replied to the toast, and after a few remarks proposed the health of the vicar." The Vicar, in responding, said he knew when he came there he tshould find an ancient church, an intelligent congregation, loyally attached to the principles, the doctrines, and the liturgy of the Reformation. (Appkuse.) They had taken up the work of restoring the church heartily, and they saw the result. In fact, to an old man, so old fashioned as he was, there everything seemed to be so very new that he hardly knew where he was.

(Laughter.) In fact it was quite true, as had heen said, that tiie only old tidng which seemed to he left vva- iue vicar. (Lauiiler and Applause.) Mr. COuo tdcu by proposing "The ftuai connected with the Hoioiaiion." Af ter lhe luncheon, there was a public tea, for winch 600 tickets were sold beforehand. At te evening service tiiere was also a crowde 1 congregation. The sermon wub preachei.

by the Rev. Prebendary Wilkinson, D.D., Vicar of St. Andrew's Plymouth, who selected for his text, Heb. 3, 4, and 5. The proceeds of the day amounted in all to about 143.

The offertories amounted in the morniner to 69, and in the evening to 20, about 22 was realised by the luncheon, and 32 by the tea. The total cost of restoration will be about 2,900 and the Committee had received 2,500 before yesterday's proceedings commenced. POPE'S PLAGIARISM. Pope presents afield in which the reader may cut down coincidences in great swarth, almost at every step through his corn. The slipshod Sibyl, who leads King Cibber, iu the Dunciad, the Elysian shades, where he meets the ghost of Settle, is said by Pope to have her tresses, which were never washed save in the waters of Castalia, staring from poetic dreams." The word "staring" is employed in the same unusual sense in the Tempest, where the King's son, Ferdinand, is described by Ariel as leaping from his 6hip with hair up staring like reeds." The crop, which Pope considered it necessary to catalogue amidst the denizens of Forest, is bedropt with gold," and Niton's fish generally, in his account of the Creation, are in a like condition.

Pope's rendering in his version of one of Horace's Epistles of anni euntes by the subtle thief of life this paltry time," bears no remote similitude to Milton's time and subtle thief of youth." The opening music set in the mouth of the love-sick Duke in Twelfth Night demands that strain again it had a dying fall." Pope had the honour to harmonise considerably with the great Shakspeie in his Ode on St. Cecilia's Day the strains decay in a dying fall and the conduct of Thomson's nightingale, who, when robbed by the hard hand of unrelenting clowns, sole sitting still, at every dying fall takes up eminent European players. In 1862, at the tournament of the British Chess Association held at Bristol, he again secured the first prize, as he did also at Baden in the year 1870. In 1873, at Vienna, and last year in Paris, he was a prize-winner, on the latter occasion scoring two victories from the American champion Mackenzie, in a manner quite worthy of his 1851 style. Throughout his long chess career he was only defeated by one opponent, Paul Morphy, the American.

THE MURDER AT BOLTON. On Thursday William Cooper, brass-moulder of Forge-street, was brought up at the Bolton Police-court charged with the murder of Ellen Mather, barmaid, aged 39. Mr. Hall conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Fielding defended.

The principal witness, Mrs. Ellen Waring, who was accompanying deceased to the ball at the time the prisoner met them and saw the murder actually committed, was cross-examined at length with a view of showing that the prisoner stabbed the deceased in a tit of passion. Witness, however, denied that there was any display of anger ou the prisoner's part. He walked and conversed quietly with the deceased until they were near the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway station, when he said, You don't go to yon ball to-night." Deceased said she should go, and the prisoner, remarking, I will let you see whether you will," pulled her head back and stabbed her twice in the neck. He did this without the slightest appearance of anger.

William Nightingale, night watchman at the station, who came on the spot immediately afterwards, also said the prisoner did not appear to be excited. He, however, appeared to have been drinking. Mr. E. Sergeant, surgeon, stated that after her depositions had been taken, the deceasevi, alluding to the prisoner, stud, He's a bad un, and I hope he will suffer for it." Mr.

Fielding', indefence, said the prisoner desired him to say that he became acquainted with the deceased 25 years ago- Atter keeping company with her for some time he joined the army and went to India. He returned to Bolton in 1860, when he renewed his acquaintance with the woman. Wnile in India lie suffered from fever and other diseases, which affected his head. He denied that this crime was at all premeditated, and said it was drink and excitement that caused him to do it. The magistrates committed the prisoner for trial ut the next Manchester Assizes on a charge of wilful murder.

EMPUYERS AND WORKMEN. The Attorney-General's Bill relating to the liability of employers for iujurias sustaiued by their servants has been printed. It proposes to enact that if any person employed in any railway, mine, manufacture, or works is injured or killed by the negligence of a "'servant in authority," the fact of both persons being in the service of the same employer shall no longer hinder any right of action which the person injured, or, if he was killed his personal representative, would otherwise have against the employer. As regards a railway, the expression servant in authority is to comprise any person entrusted with the management of the railway, or of the tralfie, or of any particular part of the railway or traffic, or of any station on the railway, or of any works connected with tlie railway. As regards a mine, the expression is to include any person entrusted as agent or manager, or in any like office, with the Biauage-ment of the mine, or of any particular pit or colliery, whether ahuvf ground or under.

As regards any other manufacture ur woiks, Luc expression is lo include a servant who is appointed by his employer to manage any such manufacture or works of any distinct branch or portion thereof. Un Thursday a meeting of the Parliamentary Committee of the Trades Union Congress was held to consider the Bill. After some discussion it was decided that the Bill of the Government was Hot satisfactory, aud it was resolved unauimously, That no measure dealing with the law ot employers for injuries sustained by their work men could be accepted as a satisfactory solution of the question while it admitted as a ground of detence in any action brought for recovery of damages, iu respect of bodily injury or loss of life, that the person by whose neglect the injury or loss of life was alleged to have been caused was working in common employment with the person so killed or injured." CHINESE INVASION OF ANNAM. The Allgemeine Zeitung publishes a brief summary of the interesting reports brought by the last mails from the East concerning the movements of the ex-Chinese Ueneral Li Jung-tsoy, who, at the head of an army of adventurers, has invaded the kiugdoin of Annum. The most reliable information from Haifong confirms the belief that he is steadily advancing through Tonquin, the northern province of the kingdom, aud daily strengthening his hold upon it.

Having captured the city of Thai Nguven, which lies about 180 miles northeast of Hanoi, he threatened the much stronger position of Bak Ninh, where there was a tolerably competent Governor. But, according to the latest news, Li had fallen back, and his further designs were not very clear. Bak Ninh is little more than 60 milea from Hanoi, while Hai-Doug, the headquarters of the Governor General of the province, is about 130 miles away to the south-east, in the direction of Haifong. The general belief ut Haifong, is that, sooner or later, the invaders will make their way to Hue, tlie capital of Annain, which was fortified some years ago by French Engiueers, aud that the tiual decision of the so cajled rebellion will be fought out here, so far, at least, as such a decision can depend upon the invaders and the Annamites. It is also believed that, should Li succeed in taking Hue, he has wider and more ambitious projects in view.

One thing is remarkable in this invasion. Li pays cash for all supplies which he takes as if he wished to set before the eyes of the people a visible specimen of the difference between his mode of government and that of their own rulers. With respect to the attitude of the French, it is worth observing that all their military force at the two stations of Hanoi and Haifong does not exceed 100 meu, and that, even should Li seek to injure foreign trade, the French have scarcely any interests to protect in these quarters. Hence if the presence of the French will not favour Li's advance against the Annamite capital, it will certainly not retard it. Up to the present Haifong has remained free from any direct disturbance on the part of the rebels and since the road to Hue lies fully 200 miles inland from the mouth of the river Sankoi, where Haifong is situated, it is to be hoped that it may yet escape a visit from the plundering bands of Li or their still more rumanly followers.

THE COMPOSITION OF CHOCOLATE. At the Teignmouth (South Devon) Petty-Sessions on Monday, a grocer named Sowtou was charged with selling an article represented to be chocolate, but which was not ot tlie nature and substance of chocolate being described, in fact, by the county analyst as mixture of cocoa, arrowroot, and sugar, tbe per-centage of cocoa being 45.0. The Defendant said he sold it as chocolate powder." He further stated that there was no such tiling us pure chocolate that was sold as such being a manufactured article, and as there were several kinds sold, and there being no standard as to the ingredients, there could be no adulteration. He read letters from Messrs. Cad bury Brothers, and Messrs.

Taylor Brothers, cocoa and chocolate matitii'actnrers, in which they said the word chocolate implied a mixture of cocoa and other ingredients. The bench, considering the difficulty existing as to the definition of what chocolate really was dismissed the case. Standard. the Bulgarians have burned villages and emigrated from Roumelia. The representatives of England and France are stated to be urging the Sultan to maintain the present Grand Vizier in power.

Against the latter great intrigues are being carried on. A Berlin telegram in the Morning Post says that the attempt recently made by Russia to separate England from Austria, or Austria from Englaod, is reported to have completely failed. Count Schouvaloffs influence, it is added, is once more supreme at tha Russian Court. The National Zeitung of Thursday night, inan article upon the Eastern Question, which is attributed to official inspiration, lays stress upon the inadmissibility of suggestions for separating special clauses from the whole of the Berlin Treaty and dealing with them as separate points. The treaty must be dealt with as a whole, the Gazelte says, and every departure from its provisions, even in matters of secondary importance, must be carefully avoided.

The Aberdeen steamer Dinmore, a new vessel, of 328 tons gross, while on the voyage from Leith to Aberdeen with flour, struck on the May Island Thursday morning, and afterwards sank. The crew escaped in their boats, and were picked up and landed at Dundee. About the same time a Norwegian schooner, bound for Dunbar with battens, went ashore two miles north-west of Fifeness. The crew were landed in safety. William Habron, who arrived in Dublin on Wednesday night, left for Ballyhaunis, county Mayo, on Thursday evening.

He was met by his mother aud brother, and a procession, headed by bands, was formed, and there was afterwards a torchlight procession An appeal to the public for subscribtions was issued on Thursday by the committee formed in Manchester, with Mr. F. W. Deakin as treasurer for the purpose of raising money to reimburse the three Hab-rons the cost of the trial. PAINFUL SCENE AT THE ADELPHI THEATRE.

On Wednesday night, towards the close of the new romantic play of the Crimson Cross, in the presence of a large audience, a sensational effect not included in the programme, was enacted. Miss Neilson, who had been onviously suffering from indisposition, and yet had struggled energetically through the arduous part of Isabel, Queen of France, fell at the feet of the King in the swoon devised by the authors, after the terrible encounter with the Constable of Paris but when the period arrived for the recovery of her Majesty, Messrs. Hermann Vezin and Flockton found that the favourite actress had fainted in reality, and was wholly insensible. Mr. Flockton suddenly abandoned the languor of the enfeebled monarch, and called for water, and in another moment the curtain descended.

The house rose with excitement, when Mr. Vezin stepped forward and addressed the audience as follows Ladies and Gentlemen, I have to ask your indulgence. Miss Neilson, who has been suffering agony throughout the evening from severe attack of neuralgia but who, notwithstanding, as I am sure yon will readily acknowledge, has never in ner life played more admirably (loud cheers) now lies insensible. A few more words only would have completed the drama, but I Unv to beg that you will, under these painful circumstances, consent to our clo-im; tiie theatre at Mr. Vezin then retired amidst unmistakable manifestations of sympathy on the part of the entire house.

Anxious inquiries were made of the officials, and to many of the departing audience the gratifying assurance was given that Miss Neilson was in a tair way of recovery. WILLS AND BEQUESTS.

Pope's Eliosa imitates and improves on the example of Infanta.

"droDoing with every bead too soft a tear," where the addition of the epithet ably distinguishes between the soft water which is the consolation of feminine love, and hard water which is the rough humour of feminine religion. It had been well if Pope was ever thus superior to his antecedent but a few lines later in the same poem of Eloisa, we read how a thought of Abelard put to the rout all the pomp of piety-Priests, tapers, temples, swam before my sight says the afflicted fair, very much as the Phca-dra, of Edmund Smith, that lucky poet," in his consummate tragedy, whose heroine is preferred by Dr. Johnson to her Greek, Latin, and French sisters, says, alluding to the effect of the unexpected appearance of Hippolytus at her marriage with Theseus All the idle pomp, Priests, altars, victims, swam before my Bight. The temples and tapers were of course more in accordance with the Catholic faith than altars and victims. It is almost unnecessary to add that the play was produced before Pope's piece was written.

This certainly seems to be of that kind of borrowing which is not bettered by the borrower, and which, if we may believe Milton, is among good authors accounted plagiary.

THE BURMESE DIFFICULTY. The King of Burraah seems to be making warlike preparations.

He may harden his heart against us after all, following the example I of so many of his predecessors on the throne and should he even coudesceud to despatch an I embassy to Calcutta, we must not expect too much from that. The Burmese are not an apoligizing people, as our experience of them should have taught us by this time. Two i Burmese wars anil the loss of Aracan, Tenas- serim, and Pegu have made the Court of Ava understand that there are some things that cannot be said safely to the foreigner in Calcutta. Lord Lyttoo is not likely to be told, for instance, by the Burmese envoy, as Lord Minto before the first Burmese war was told by the messenger of one of these golden-footed potentates, that if he will do the King's bidding he may obtain the Royal pardon for the numerous falsehoods he has written but, on the other hand, we shall be disappointed if we expect any complimentary messages to be addressed to Calcutta by the Burmese Sovereign. These have all come from our side and the apologetic tone of our missions, from that of Captain Symes in 17S5 to that of Sir Douglas Forsyth in 1875, has tended to impress the Burmese with the idea that the Government of Calcutta would accept many rebuffs before seriously undertaking hostilities against them.

And that there has always been a great disinclination on our part to fight with Bur-mah there can be no doubt. No section of the present Opposition, moved by fears of expenditure and suspicions of annexation, can be more opposed to a war with Burmah now than every Viceroy has been who has held sway in Calcutta. Viceroys of so different a temper as Sir John Shore, Lord Minto, Lord Wellesley, Lord Hastings, Lord Amherst, and Lord Dal-housie, who all more or less got entangled in the Burmese dilemma, were of one mind as to the desirability of conciliating thiB barbarian who was so difficult to get at. Before the first Burmese war we sent officer after officer to maintain at all hazards an amicable intercourse with him. These missions were usually looked upon at Ava as a confession of British weakness they were frequently grossly outraged, and Captain Canning, sent as envoy in 1809, only just escaped with his life to Calcutta.

But they were preserved in till the very year of the first Burmese war and when peace was lestored again in 1826, our Resident at Ava (for the Treaty of Yandabo had provided for the appointment of a political agent in Burmah) was instructed to dy all in his power to prevent our being again actively embroiled with the Burmese Government. Even when the barbarian who came to the throne in 1846 exchanged the normal insolence of the Court of Ava for direct acts of violence and positive outrages on British property, in the negotiation which we set on foot with the desire of maintaining peace we were careful to ask as little as possible in the way of compensation or apology; and hiid uot the Kinir himself anflhis people been bent on war in Hj2 it would have never have broken out. Only three years nfter its terminal ion we find Lord Dalhousie sending a complimentary mission to the Court of Burmah, and Major Phfiyre doing his very best to make friends of this most impracticable people. In 1874 differences which threatened to be serious arose between the Government of Calcutta and the Court of Ava concerning the Karen boundary and while Sir Douglal Forsyth was trying to patch these up news came of the attack on the English exploring party in Chinese Burmah, and the murder of Mr. Margary at Manwine on the 22nd of February, 1875.

The attack had taken place on Chinese territory, and the perpetrators of it were Chineee. So far it had nothing to do with Burmah and the Burmese, and we had no cause of complaint against the King till he thought fit to receive with the greatest cordiality the Chiness General Li-see-Taki, who was the author of the massacre, refusing us at the same time permission to pass our troops through Bnrmese territory in order to obtain redress. We never got the King to apologise, or to allow us a right of way and so Sir Douglas Forsyth's mission ended rather barrenly as far as were concerned, while the demands we made and the pretensions we put forward doubtless left some hitterness in the Burmese mind. Besides, come what may, the Burmese are sure to have a try some time to recover Pegu. It is still looked upon as belongingto the house of Alompra, only out of keeping for the while and Lord Dalhousie could never induce the Paganmen the King of Burmah whom we beat in 1852.

to acknowledge by any formal treaty that it had ceased to form part of Bur mese territory. Pall Mull Gazette. GENERAL NEWS. The Swiss Council of States has resolved, by twenty seven against fifteen votes, to re-establish capital punishment in Switzerland. The Grand Masonic Lodge of Italy has offered a prize of 2,500 lire for the best "moral treatise for children, to be used in schools in place of the Roman Catholic Catechism."

But the popular tradition is that the ostrich feathers are trophies from the field of CreBsy, and that, having been the crest, they were adopted by Edward the Black Prince to commemorate the defeat and death of John, King of Bohemia in that historic conflict. Unfortunately, the Heir Apparent badge cannot be traced to any such source without a good deal ot doubt and hesi tation. The question has been fully discussed by Mr.

Gough Nichols in the twenty-ninth and by Sir Harris Nicolas in the thirty-first volume I of the Arcbseologia. During the ages or chivalry the ostrich was a very favourite badge, because the extraordinary powers or digestion attributed to that weak-minded bird wm supposed to typify the appetite of the true knibt for cold steei. Beioie the general use of gunpowder. wiiH." we call a "tire-eater'' aft and throughout Ger-io; ny, at all events, there was an additional i-: -60 i for the selection of this particular in that (as Mr. Gough Nichols cites Handle's History of British Costume to BUwwj the uerman name lor an ostnen, strauss," was also employed to signify a fight, combat, or scuffle and the double meaning would doubtless confirm a Teutonic warrior in the selection of the strauss-vogel for this device.

But the crest of the King of Bohemia was neither an ostrich nor the plumage of an ostrich it was a pair of vulture's wings, whence the Black Prince could not have plucked his ostrich feathers. On the other hand, the Emperor Charles IV. was the son of the King of Bohemia, who was killed at Cressy, and one of his badges was an ostrich collared and chained and holding a nail in his beak. This badge may have belonged to the father as well as to the sen and in that case the Black Prince may after all have derived his cognizance from the King of Bohemia. Some of the old writers on Heraldy regard the ostrich plume as the badge of the Welsh Princes before the English Conquest, and take the signification of the motto, Ich dien to be that the Prince of Wales, although supreme in his Principality, is yet a subject to the King of England.

Again, it has been maintained that originally the motto was not German, "Ich dien," "I serve," but Welsh, "Eich dyn," This is your man," the words said to have been used by Edward I. in presenting his son, the English Prince of Wales, to his vanquished homagers at Carnarvon Castle. And, again, it has been conjectured that the ostrich feather constituted the cognizance of the Counts of Hainault that it was occasion ally assumed even by Edward III. in honour of hisQ ueen, Philippa of Hainault, and by their sons habitually in honour of their mother the Black Prince's motto, Ich dien," being simply expressive of his filial affection and corresponding sense of duty. It is certain that an ostrich feather the Black Prince's badge was a single ostrich feather was towards the middle of the fifteenth century the cognizance of the king and all the different branches of the Royal House of England.

A Harleian apparently of the reign of Henry quoted by Sir Harris Nicolas, states that "the ostrich feather silver and pen gold is the Bang's, the ostrich feather pen and all silver is the Prince's, the ostrich feather gold ye. pen ermine is the Duke of Lancaster's, the ostrich feather silver and pen go bony is the Duke of Somerset's and the ostrich feather was also used as his badge by Thomas Mowbray, Duke of Norfolk, in virtue of his descent from Thomas of Brotherton, the son of Edward but that was under the terms of a special grant from Richard But if the Prince of Wales's Plume must be accepted as. only a questionable relic of the battle of Cressy, heraldy has preserved several trophies, or reputed trophies, from the battle of Poicitiers.

Pall Mall Gazette. REOPENING OF LISKEARD CHURCH. The following article is abriged from the Western Weekly News, of the 15th and reproduced for the benefit of many of our readers who were personally acquainted with the Rev. John Lakes, during his lengthened pastorate at St.

The proceedings of the day consisted of a morning service, with sermon by the Bishop a public luncheon and tea, and evening The weather was gloomy and wet, but the attendance throughout the day was very large. The main feature of the work of restoration which has been carried out under the direction ot Mr. K. Coad, architect, of London, by Mr.

The restoration is, in the mam one of a structural character, and interna decorations and fittings have been wisely left unti the money has been given for tha purpose, lhe fittings of the chancel, in particular, are recognised as beirg 0f a temporary character. Indeed, the architect's plans contain many suggestions as to their improvement. He advises, for instance, the screening of the chancel from the north and south chancel aisles and the raising of the chancel floor from the level of the floor of the nave. No one need be told what hinders the carrying out of these alterations, and also the proper decoration of the sacrarium.

A debt of a few hundred pounds is still due for what has been been done, but the Restoration Committee have been requested to continue their services a significant fact. It may be mentioned that the whole of the carved bosses at tlie intersections of the roof timbers to the number of about four hundred were carved by Mr. Harry Hems, of Exeter.

T. Gh Williams. HISTORY IN HERALDRY. Such commemorative armories as are intended to perpetuate the recollection of historical events and circumstances may be distributed at the outset under the two heads of military and civil. As might be expected, those which come under the first are far more numerous than those which come under the second they belong to many different ages, and they have reference to a great variety of warlike enterprises and martial exploits.

In the Abyssinian expedition Lord Napier of Madala belli his peerage and his armorial 'Ju his shield are displayed mural crowns n'i British lions' his crest is ensigned with ihiit blaudani of St. George" which he plain e-. on "'the MOntains of Russelas his are a soldier of the Engineers and abikli while his motto is "Tu vincula irange." an obvious allusion to the release oi Mr. hassatu and ids companions from captivitv witli tiie Emperor Theodore. A single murai crown on the shield, and one of the supporters a horse bridled, caparisoned, and gorged with a mural crowns-celebrate the long and assiduous attendance of Lord Airey at the 11 or be Guards and the part played by Sir William Mansfield the first Lard in the suppression of the Indian Mutiny is signalized by the Eastern crown on the shield, the laurels in the-crest, and one.

of the supporters, a Bengal tiger cowed and chained, in the achievement of his son, the second Lord Sandhurst. Sir Garnet WolseWy's refusal of a baronetcy has for the present postponed the appearance of any heraldic tribute to the campaign in Ashan-tee. But it is a pity that so legitimate a trophy as the umbrella" of King Coffee Calcalli should have been even temporarily lost to the College of Arms and it may be expected that when the opportunity occurs they will neither forget nor neglect to turn it to account. That it should be employed for tho purpose of heraldic commemoration would be quiet in accordance with the orginal spirit of heraldry, to which the heralds of our own day are showing some hopeful signs of return; but to which the perverse and fantastic ingenuity of their immediate predecessors was always foreign and frequently hostile. Of this the clumsy record of our last Afghan war contributed by them to the pages of Burke and Debrett affords an obtrusively striking example.

Lord Keane of Ghuznee, and George Pollock of the Khyber Pass so they are severally designated in their patents of creation have transmitted not only their titles, but also a partly ideographic, partly phonetic "gazette" of their services to their de see edants the present peer and baronet. On the shield of Keane is depicted the fortress of Ghuznee one of the crests is the Cabool gate of that fortress one of the mottoes is Ghuznee and the supporters are a Beloochee and an Afghan mounted and in battle array. On the shield of Pollock, accompanied by pieces of artillery and an Eastern crown, is inscribed the word Khyber one of the crests is a lion rampant flourishing a damaged Afghan flag one of the mottoes is "Afghanistan and the supporters, a. tiger and a talbot. are chained, collared with Eastern crowns, and charged on the shoulders with bombshells fired and ready to explode.

Another commander of the same day. Sir Thomas Will shire, has bequeathed with hi6 baronetcy to bis grandson certain heraldic ensigns of an equally pronounced description, which, as it happens, may remind us of both the regions of the globe in which our troops are now, as they were then, engaged with the enemy. On his shield are the fortress of Khelat," a Beloochee warrior on horseback brandislung his lance, and "the badge of the first-class of the Dooranee Empire, bestowed upon SirThomas Wiltshire by the King of Afghanistan;" his crest is a "Carfre," armed and operating with "assegais his mottoes are Khelat and Caf-fraria while his supporters are soldiers of his Majesty's 38th and 2nd Regiments of the Line. All this of course is exceedingly inartistic and out of place. But it may be observed that there is at least one ancient precedent ahhoug'i to be sure an Irish precedent for something of tiie same kind, in a less elaborate and extravagant form.

Sir John de Galwey, the younger brother of Sir Ulick de Burgh, of Clanricarde, greatly distinguished himself in the defence of Baal's Bridge at Limerick against a large force under O'Brien of Thomond and to him. Lionel, Duke of Cla-reiu the son of Edward and Lord Dep. it oi Ireland, granted for his arms a oi the bridee, and underneath it ih UlOil presr. of til arutu.

The fourth, in manv respects a more curious document than auv of the others, is a poem, in Norman French on the banners of the barons and khights-banneret who attended Edward T. when he besieged Carlavernock Castle, in Dumfriesshire, in 1300 or 1301. Against him the castle was defended by its owner, Sir ISustace Maxwell; and Carlavernock is still the seat of Sir Eustace Maxwell's descendant, Lord Hemes of Terre-gles. Qu the shield of the Earl of Berkeley are a cbfevroB-and ten crosses, as anybody who looks at a Peerage may see. In the Boll of Henry III.

the bearings of "Morris de Barkele are given "gomes ung cneveron d'argent in the Siege of Carlaverock," as translated by Sir Harris Nicolas, it is written that Maurice de Berkeley, who was a companion in this expedition, had a banner red as blood crusi iiy with a white chevron and a blue label, because his father was alive," while in the Roll of Edward II. the bearings of Berkeley are buzwned with three crosses, and in the Roll of Edward III. with ten crosses, as they now appear. The crosses war added to his arms by Thomas, Lord Berkeley, the father of tar Maurice de Berkeley, in memory of his share in the Crusade of Prince Edward and St. Louis of 1269-1271.

Of the same enterprise the bearings of the Earl of Jersey and the iiarl of Clarendon are mementoes: for, to commemorate his engagement in it, Sir Richard de filers to use the words of Sir Egerton Bridges rehaquished his paternal coat of arms namely, sable, three cinquefoils argent, iu allusion to the cinquefoils the ancient arms of Beaumont, iiarJ of Leicester, from whose 28 7.18 i .14 -o H.04 d. ti LM2 3.. -7 4 4j ai H.to I 1-'. ri r.l- Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, ednesdiiy Thursday Friday, Saturday, Mar.
