Much of the mystic element is perceptible in Mr. Barlow's verse,

way in which this is done might indeed occasionally be stigmatized as

MISCELLANEA:-Impressing Choristers, 111-Shakespeare-London's whom your Majesty, in condescension to the wishes

On the Tuesday the crowd was far greater. The people had come with the full intention of welcoming their favourite, and escorting him with full honours to Westminster. When the gates remained closed, the rough faces grew darker, and the clamour greater. A paper of verses written by a poetical Wilkite being torn down from the prison gate, the cry was "Give us the paper," and the people would not be pacified. The soldiers (most unfortunately a detachment of the 3rd Foot Guards, a Scotch regiment, and nearly all hot-blooded Highlanders or Lowland Scots, whom the mob detested as being countrymen of Bute), commenced to push back the people with their muskets, and to force them away with rough threats. The rioters' fists began to close, their sticks to brandish. Showers of blinding and stinging gravel were thrown, and then the rioters took to stones and brickbats. In vain the Surrey magistrates read the Riot Act as the soldiers advanced, and the people for a time gave way. A young fellow in a red waistcoat was seen by the soldiers, as they thought, urging on the stone throwers. Three Scotch soldiers, breaking from the ranks, made at him, and chased him, as they imagined, into a cow-house, 500 yards distant, in St. George's Fields. In the cow-house they found a man in a red waistcoat, and he fell from an intentional or acci- | dental discharge of one of their muskets. He turned out, however, unfortunately, to be an entirely innocent spectator, the son of Mr. Allan, landlord of the Horse Shoe, an inn in Blackman-street, in the Borough. The ball had passed through his collar bone, and come out at his back. His hand also was pierced.

A afternoon, she was returning from Spring Gardens in Charcharge was at last made, and eight of the ringleaders cap-ing Cross, on foot, with one Mrs. Goodbine, and, on their tured and committed to the new gaol at Southwark (Horse- arrival at the Asylum in St. George's Fields, some Horsemonger-lane), by two Surrey magistrates-Daniel Ponton Guards passed by at full speed, on which a gentleman, a and Samuel Gillam. stranger to both, came up to Mrs. Egremont and offered his service to conduct her and Mrs. Goodbine along the road, saying it was dangerous walking on account of the crowd and the Guards coming up; that instantly Mrs. Egremont heard the discharge of fire-arms, and afterwards, being near the middle of the New Road, near the Windmill, and endeavouring to cross, to avoid the next firing, she heard a second firing, and the gentleman with her desired her to look across the road, whereupon she discovered a woman lying upon the ground, appearing to be wounded; and, at the same instant, a ball passed under her left arm, the gentleman with her having his arm about her waist in order to protect her. She then cried out she should be killed, and he immediately said he was a dead man; that she fainted away, and, on coming to herself, found she was bloody, but not wounded; that she desired the people at the sign of the Windmill, a public-house, to let her in, but they refused, alleging that they were in danger of their own lives, and could not open the door, but somebody handed a tumbler of water to her out of window; that, being feeble, she went to the second hay-cart in the Haymarket there, and sat down upon one of the shafts, where she had not been above a minute before there was another discharge of fire-arms, and the deceased William Bridgeman being upon the hay in the same cart where she was sitting, said, They are firing away,' on which the deceased directly dropped to the ground, saying, 'Lord Jesus Christ!' then, in a low voice, My wife and children!' and uttered some words, but not to be understood. The deceased then put his hand to his side, where he had received a shot, and a stranger unbuttoned his waistcoat and said the man was shot with a ball; that the people about him, as well as herself, on account of the danger, left him in a helpless condition, and seemingly in great pain; and in about twenty minutes afterwards he was carried along the road upon the shoulders of several men, when he seemed to be dead, and she heard that he died soon after receiving his wound.

In the meantime, the riot had grown so alarming that the soldiers had received orders to fire. At the first volley six persons fell dead, and fourteen or sixteen were seriously wounded. Two pregnant women were trampled to death. The mob then dispersed, reassembling in different places in the Borough to force persons to illuminate their houses; but they were by degrees scattered by patrols of light horse. The next day there was a second attempt at a riot, although the Foot Guards had barracks erected for them in the outhouses of the prison.

On May 17th two inquests were held in the Borough, the evidence in which enables us to describe the details of the

riot with more minuteness.

"The first was at the parish of St. Saviour, on the body of Mary, the wife of William Jeffs. It appeared that last Tuesday, about eleven in the forenoon, the deceased and her daughter were attending close to the Haymarket, in St. George's Fields, with a double-handled basket, with oranges, in order to sell them; that about two that afternoon they heard that the soldiers were going to fire, upon which they and several other persons were removing to avoid the danger; and as the deceased and her daughter were carrying away the basket between them, some of the soldiers fired, and the deceased fell down directly, and when taken up said she was only frightened, but not hurt; that she was soon after speechless, was let blood immediately, and then carried to St. Thomas's Hospital, where she expired about an hour after the firing. On her being undressed at the hospital, a large gun-shot wound was discovered a little below her navel, which she received about two hours after the proclamation had been read. The jury brought in their verdict, that she was accidentally and by misfortune killed by a soldier unknown, in endeavouring to suppress the rioters.

"The second inquisition was taken at the parish of St. George the Martyr, on the body of William Bridgeman. Mrs. Elizabeth Egremont, the wife of a surveyor, living in Weston Street, in St. Olave's parish, appeared as a witness, and swore that last Tuesday, a little before three in the|

"The coroner, in summing up his evidence to the jury, observed, that every unhappy case of this kind was attended with its particular circumstances, which were to be the immediate subjects of their attention and enquiry; that young Allen's case was in no manner to bias them, nor were they to regard any reports; that they were to lay aside all popular resentment or prejudice, and to give a verdict according to the evidence, without any fear, favour, affection, hatred, or ill-will; in doing which they would act consistent with their oaths, and discharge their consciences.

"The jury, after some time consulting, brought in their verdict, chance medley, in which they confirmed the verdict of the jury at St. Saviour's, Southwark."

The jury at the inquest on poor Allen returned a verdict
who fired the shot, and his companion Donald Maclaury, as
also arrested for aiding and abetting. As for Maclean he
an accessory. Ensign Murray, the commanding officer, was
narrowly escaped being torn in pieces by the enraged
Wilkites. As usual in these street riots, the innocent
spectators suffered most. Allen was attended to the grave
by 50,000 mourners, and on his monument in Newington
Churchyard the following patriotic epitaph was engraved :—

SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF
WILLIAM ALLEN,

An Englishman of unspotted life and amiable
Disposition:

who was inhumanly murdered near St. George's
Fields by an officer and two soldiers, on the 10th
day of May, 1768, at a massacre of several of his

countrymen by Scottish detachments from the army, on the pretence of supporting the civil power, which he never insulted, but had through life obeyed and respected.

His disconsolate parents caused this stone to be erected to an only son, lost to them and to the world in his twentieth year, as a monument of his virtues and their affection.

way across, when the moat was cleared out in 1822, there appeared to be a small island, the water being very shallow and the bottom hard. It is the part of the bridge between this island and the building that is presumed to have been movable. The staircase was probably constructed by Henry VIII. in a more peaceful age than that in which the fortress was first erected. From this staircase a door leads into a kind of cellar or store. In the corner, on the left of the entrance, was a spacious room, with a handsome chimney-piece, now destroyed, of the period of Henry VIII., carved with the arms of Sir Henry Guldeford, at that time constable of the castle, quartering those of Colepeper. The principal floor of the keep contains three good fireplaces, with the arms of Henry VIII. in the spandrels. The rose and pomegranate also occur in them, together with the castle of Castille, by which it would seem they were executed before Katharine of Aragon fell into disfavour. The interior wall, as left by Henry VII. and VIII., was of timber and plaster, and the JUST by the drawbridge leading to the keep was a kitchen oak or chestnut cornices were richly moulded. In the alterconstructed of timber, from which it is probable that the hall ation and repairs that were affected in this part of the castle may have been over, or nearly over, the cellar. This is the in 1822, much of the old material was made use of in the more probable as there was in this kitchen an ancient new walls. The interior of the keep, prior to the above date, built in the thickness of the wall, part of which pro-mains of it, for nine of the rooms were burnt by some Dutch consisted of Sir Henry Guldeford's work, or rather the rejected from the outside on a bold corbel, still remaining.

prisoners confined there in the reign of Charles II. The of them had been hung with tapestry, and on the floors were remaining rooms formed three sides of a quadrangle; some carved chess-boards, probably the work of the Dutch prisoners.

Quitting the keep, the visitor ascends the winding staircase of the clock-tower. The bell which this tower contains is one on which the curfew has been rung for many generations, the custom being kept up to this day: it bears date 1435. There is also an ancient clock, supposed to be of the same date, which strikes on the same bell, but which has no dial or hands. A pendulum has been substituted for the original balance, and within the last few years some new wheels have been added to facilitate the work of winding it up.

An archway of freestone led to the drawbridge which originally supplied the means of communication between the keep and the other part of the building. The quadrant, carefully executed in the stonework, in which it traversed, when raised or lowered, is still perfect, under the openings of the stone arch erected in 1822. This drawbridge was long ago replaced by a timber erection of two stories boarded over, and the passages enclosed by side walls of lath and plaster; and this again, at the date just mentioned, was superseded by the stone bridge of two stories as it now stands. In the ministers accounts, temp. Edward III., the ancient drawbridge is called the Pons Glorietta, from the fact of its leading to the tower called the "gloriette," which now contains the clock, &c. The entrance to the lower story of the keep is a flat trefoil or shouldered arch, similar to the one noticed in the gate house; above the arch is part of the Retracing our steps over the bridge which connects the keep work of Henry VIII., who restored the whole of the upper to the central island, we enter the principal domestic apartstory.

In this portion of the castle, which was erected by the original windows remain, together with the arch which the grandfather of the present owner in 1822, some of the old contained the rich tracery of a fourth. These windows are work has been introduced, especially a handsome oak of the period of Edward I., about 1280, as is also the outer chimney-piece in the dining-room of the time of James I., arch of the richer one; but new tracery was put in about several of the oak spandrels of Henry VIII.'s time, and a 1314-15, as the survey then taken states that the original curious chimney-back (brought from an old manor house on tracery was destroyed by a hurricane.

It is divided "Kentish tracery," examples of which are to be found only into two compartments by a pattern in the shape of two in that county and in a small part of Sussex.

The chapel, which has for many years served for domestic purposes, is now (1873) in process of restoration, in order to be converted to its original use. A little beyond the chapel, Henry VIII. seems to have pulled down a part of the outer wall, for the purpose of inserting two large windows; one of them a bay-window, of octagonal character, is in what was probably his banqueting-room. Over the banqueting-room was a withdrawing-room, and beyond it, where the larder is now situated, was probably a second kitchen, as there is an unusually large opening for a chimney without any carving or hearth, and the flue divides itself into two in the upper story.

On the eastern side of the keep is a newel staircase, which leads to a postern, opening on the moat. It has been conjectured that there was formerly a wooden footbridge across the moat at this point, of which the portion next the building, at the least, was movable. About half

and fleur-de-lis among their decorations. From this it is almost certain that they belonged to the king.

The whole of the rooms in this part of the castle are very lofty and imposing, and admirably adapted for comfort and convenience. Amongst the paintings that adorn the walls may be mentioned: Thomas, second Lord Colepeper, by Hanneman; Margaret, his lady, daughter and heiress of Prince Jean de Hesse; the Prince of Hesse Bergen, her father; two portraits of Thomas, third Lord Fairfax, the celebrated Parliamentary General (several MSS. of his are also preserved here, together with his doublet and shoes); Mary, his only daughter and heiress, Duchess of Bucking ham, which, in the eyes of Walpole, when he visited Leeds Castle in 1752, was "the only recompense for all the fatigue he had undergone" in getting there; George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham, her husband, and a series of portraits of the Fairfax family. There are also several interesting curiosities,
