 The jBrst prospectus of this work was issued five years ago : it was 
 then proposed to include every Railroad for which a Bill had passed the 
 Legislature; but whilst the manuscript was preparing^ so many new 
 " Lines" were projected, and so many doubts entertained of the ultimate 
 fate of several, that it was thought unadvisable to produce a book that in 
 a few months might become out of date. At the present time no such 
 objections exist, nearly all the main "Lines" are completed, and the 
 branches yet unfinished are so few as to render further delay unnecessary. 
 The work contains every Raih'oad now open, and in one instance, that 
 of the Great Northern from Peterborough to Retford, a " Line" which 
 will not be ready for trafiic for some few months. 
 
 In a literary point of view I claim for my undertaking little more than 
 the merit of compilation. Eor many of my statements I am indebted to 
 the researches of previous topographical and historical writers, a list of 
 whose works, to obviate the necessity of incumbering my pages with 
 references, is appended on the other side. In addition to the details 
 thus derived, I have been much aided by the valuable information 
 supphed by the landed proprietors in the neighbourhood of the various 
 "Lines," in reply to upwards of four thousand applications I made at 
 the commencement of my undertaking. Eor that kind and considerate 
 assistance, I beg to return my respectful and grateful thanks ; nor must 
 I omit to acknowledge my obligations to more than one hundred and 
 fifty of the principal country booksellers, who favoured me with local 
 particulars of a very valuable character.

 EXPLANATION OF THE ARRANGEMENT. 
 
 In the arrangement of the " Lines," it has been endeavoured to denote as clearly 
 as possible the situation of the cities, towns, &c. The reader is in all cases supposed 
 to be sitting with his face towards the enguie, the inside marginal columns repre- 
 senting the "Line," the left page showing the objects found to the left, the right 
 page those to the right of the road. The bearings of the compass, n., s., e., w., &c., 
 at the beginning of a paragraph indicate the position of the places from the station, 
 but when dilTerent bearings are given in the same paragraph they are to be considered 
 (unless the context reads otherwise) as horn the last-mentioned in that paragrapl).

 THE RAIL ROAD BOOK. 
 
 LONDON. 
 
 In a vrork especially iutended as a guide to the Railroads of Great Britain, Mith the 
 cities, towns, country-seats, and pictm-esque scenery through, or in the yicinity of which 
 they pass, it wUl natiu'ally be expected that we should say something of the capital 
 from whence issue the main lines : we therefore offer the following brief account of the 
 wonders of the metropolis to the general reader, referring those who are desnous to 
 obtain more ample details upon points connected with its history, to Mr. Cunningham's 
 admii-able and deservedly popular " Hand Book for London." 
 
 " y\liere has commerce such a mart. 
 So rich, so tlirong'd, so drain'd, and so supplied 
 As London ? opulent, enlarged, and still 
 Increasing Loudon \" — the task. 
 
 The author of these lines died in the eighteenth century, but who can say they are 
 not now a perfect portraiture ? or at what distant period tliey wiU be inapplicable to the 
 state of tliis yast, colossal metropolis ? ]\Iore opulent than eyer, enlarged threefold 
 since Cowjier's truthful lyre was mute ; still, stiH it is increasing London ; and the busy 
 note, as well of preparation as of actual operation at all the cardinal points, defies 
 the calculation of man as to the ultimate boiuidaries of this lateral Babylon. 
 
 London, the great capital of the freest and (despite occasional clouds and crises of 
 misfortune, which, under the ordination of Proyideuce, afflict the people of eyeiy land) 
 the happiest nation of the earth, is situated on the banks of the Thames, the most 
 wealthy and important, though not the largest, riyer in the ujiiyerse ; and extends its 
 gigantic limbs over wide tracts of the fom* comities of IMiddlesex, Essex, Surrey, and 
 Kent. The extent of this leyiathan city, as defined by Act of Parliament for postal 
 pmi^oses, would give but a yery inadequate idea of the enonnous space occupied by 
 this one town, comprised within London proper, the city and liberty of "Westminster, 
 with the boroughs of iSIaryleboue, Finsbiuy, the Tower Hamlets, Southwark and Lam- 
 beth, the whole of which are, howeyer, at present bounded by FiUham, Hammersmith, 
 Acton and WiUesden, on the West ; by Limehoitse, Greenwich and BlackwaU on the 
 East ; by Kilbmii, Hampstead and Highgate on the Xorth ; and Nonyood, Dulwich 
 and Cauiberwell on the South. The best idea of the extent of this city, although 
 comprehending but a yery small portion of its immediate subm-bs, may be conceived 
 from the following table of the number of acres occupied by each of its parhamentary 
 subdiyisions, to which is added the population of each borough, with the number of 
 registered electors at the period therein indicated returning the sixteen metropohtau 
 members of the House of Commons.

 The very large parishes of Chelsea, Cambei-well, Wandsworth, Clapham, Gre^uwich 
 and Lewisliani, ^Yhlcll have ])een added to the bills of mortality, but are not included 
 in the foregoing table, augment the population by nearly half a million ; which, "with 
 the proportional increase since 1S41 (the period of the last census), brings the population 
 at this time (1851) to 2,210,000. 
 
 Of the antiquity of London as a city, there is no question, but the accounts are 
 very conflicting. It is said that Trinobantum, or New Troy, which stood on the site 
 of the present city was built by Brute, a descendant of J^lueas, some centuries before 
 the Christian Era, and tliat a lineal succession of upwards of fifty Kings, rided 
 Britain, down to King Lud, who first sm-rounded the city with walls. Cornelius, 
 Tacitus, and Annninianus ]\larccUinus meution this place as well as the Venerable Bede ; 
 and many of the coins of King Alfred, have inscribed upon them the monogram London. 
 But that London was a Konian station, the excavations made from time to time, for 
 the foundations of new Ijuildings most satisfactorily attest, of wliich we may mention 
 one of a very interestuig character, discovered in 1848, when prejiaring the ground for 
 the formation of the New Coal Exchange, in Thames Street, consisting of a hy]DOcaust 
 with aU the fines, &c., in as perfect a state as at the period of their erection. Those 
 who are ciuious in such matters will be amply rewarded by inspectmg the tesselated 
 pavements, urns, household utensHs, coins, &c., which have been dug up Avithin the 
 boundaries of the ancient walls of the City of London diu-mg the last century, the 
 finest specimens of which are in the British Museum, the Museums at the Guildhall 
 Library, and the Lidia House, and in the collections of Mr. Gwitt, E.S.A., Union Street, 
 Borough; and of Mr. C. Roach Smith, E.S.A., Liverpool Street, City. London Stone 
 which stiU remains in Cannon Street, is said to be the identical stone, or central 
 miUiariiun (milestone), whence radiated the Koman high roads, of which WatUng Street 
 was the cliief, and upon which the distances were inscribed. 
 
 In former times, when it was the policy of the rulers of this land to impress foreign 
 ambassadors with the lughest possible idea of England's wealth, strength, and powex, 
 a certain route was prescribed upon their landing at Dover, which, after exhibiting the 
 cathedral and other ecclesiastical monuments of the rich city of Canterbm-y, and the 
 imposing Castle of llochester on the broad and noble waters of the Medway, brought 
 them to Gravesend, Avhere they took water, were rowed in the royal barge to London, 
 and landed in great state at the Tower. All the commerce of London was thus brought 
 under their view ; for the Pool even then presented a forest of masts, each ship being 
 an evidence of England's power, her commercial prosperity. How strange it is, that, 
 amidst the changes effected by tune, aU observant wTiters admit, (and it is well that our 
 country friends shoidd receive the information,) that the only spot stiU capable of 
 impressing the stranger with any just conception of the grandeur and magnificence 
 of the metropolis, is that most splendid of all river roads, in the vicinity of the very 
 Tower to which we have alluded. New London Bridge ! It is from thence he will 
 perceive those forests of masts, which have excited the astonishment of all foreigners, 
 issuing from the decks of thousands of shi]«, from all parts of the world ; so tliickly 
 covering the siu'face of the water, that two alleys, or hues of passage, of sufficient width 
 to allow a passage for the outward and inward-))ouud vessels, can alone be spared to 
 navigation. Here, too, the waters are m a constant state of boiling ferment, froiii the 
 incessant motion of the sea-going and river steamers : the quays, too, are lined with 
 busy workmen, loading and imloading, by countless cranes, the vessels alongside ; while 
 immediately below, on either side of the bridge, may be seen, at all hours of the day, 
 thousands of passengers hm-rying on board some steamer, in search of pleasure or for 
 dispatch of business. 
 
 Tiu'uing from the contemplation of these proceedings in the inferior regions, the eye is 
 astonished at the midtitude and the rush of coaches, carts, omnibuses, and carriages of 
 every description, from tlie hund)le donkey-cart of the costermonger to the gilded chariots 
 of the Sherift's ; from the neat tax-cart of the retailer, with his broken bit of blood, to a 
 succession of five, six, or seven of Barclay and Perkins's drays, eacli dra\ni by three or 
 four of the proudest, the fattest, and the noblest-looking animals in Christendom ; while, 
 cutting in here and there, tearing away at a frightful ])ae(', which ^ies almost \d\\\ the 
 raihvay trains to wlueh they are hastening, are innumerable cabs and hackney vehicles of 
 every denomination. If tlie stranger but turn his gaze from the moving scenes 1)('low 
 and around him, what hundi'cds of steeples, churches, monuments and public biuldings, 
 are spread before the eye. Here then is the sjjot to which the traveller shoidd first
 
 LONDON. 3 
 
 devote liis attention upon arriving in Loudon, and as the task is easy of accomplisKment, 
 he shoidd follo^w^ up his sceuerv of the iuteri(u- of the metropolis by passing over, in 
 succession, each of the seven bridges wliich cross tliis noljle river, -fthich have clauus 
 to his consideration. 
 
 A periodical of 1S43, gives the folio-wing account of this great metropolis, which we 
 insert, because, although it may not be perfectly accm-ate in all its details, it seems to 
 oiu- own long experience by no means overcharged, and is calcidated to impress the 
 traveller with a just idea of what he may expect : — "Loudon occupies a sui-face of 32 
 square miles, tliickly planted with houses, mostly tlu'ce, four- and five stories high. It 
 contains 300 churches and chapels of the establishment ; 30i Dissenters' chapels, 22 
 foreign chapels, 250 public schools, 1,.500 private schools, 1.50 hospitals, 156 ahushouses, 
 besides 205 other institutions, 550 pubhc oifices, li prisons, 22 theatres, 21 markets ; 
 consumes amiually 110,000 bidlocks, 776,000 sheep, 250,000 lambs, 250,000 calves, 
 and 270,000 pigs ; 11,000 tons of butter, 13,000 tons of cheese, 10,000,000 gallons of 
 milk, 1,000,000 quarters of wheat, or 61,000,000 of quartern loaves, 65,000 pipes of 
 wine, 2,000,000 gallons of spiiits, and 2,000,000, barrels of porter and ale ; employs 16,502 
 shoemakers, ll,o52 tailors, 2,391 blacksmiths, 2,013 whitesmiths, 5,030 house-painters, 
 1,076 fish-dealers, 2,062 hatters and hosiers, 13,208 carpenters, 6,822 bricklayers, &c., 
 5,416 cabinet-makers, 1,005 wheelwiights, 2,180 sawyers, 2,807 jewellers, 1,172 old- 
 clothes men (chiefly Jews), 4,328 prmters (viz. 3,628 compositors and 700 pressmen), 
 1,393 stationers, 2,633 watch and clock makers, 4,227 grocers, 1,430 milkmen, 5,655 
 bakers, 2,091 barbers, 1,040 brokers, 4,322 butchers, 1,586 cheesemongers, 1,082 
 chemists, 4,199 clothiers and linen di-apers, 2,167 coachmakers, 1,367 coal merchants, 
 2,133 coopers, 1,381 dyers, 2,319 plumbers, 907 pastrycooks, 868 saddlers, 1,246 tinmen, 
 803 tobacconists, 1,470 turners, 556 undertakers, (the above are all males above 20 
 years of age). 10,000 private families of fashion, &c. About 77,000 establishments 
 of trade and industry, 4,400 public houses, 330 hotels, 470 beer shops, 960 spiiit aud 
 wine shops." 
 
 We will make but one addition to these curious statistics as illustrative of the 
 ignorance of the Preuchman who asked an English traveller, " Connaissez-vous 
 Monsieur Smith, de Loucbes ?" Of this patronymic, independently of gentlemen 
 uncomiected with commerce, the " Commercial Directory" gives eleven cohmins and 
 a half, of eighty-three in each column, making the total number of Smiths carrying on 
 business in Loudon amoimt to nine huncked and fifty-seven. 
 
 ^Vith the foregoing general outline, we shall proceed to describe, as briefly as possible, 
 such of the principal pubHc buildings, ecclesiastical and other monuments, great public 
 institutions, &c., as are most worthy of notice, beginning with the bridges. 
 
 BRIDGES. 
 
 London boasts seven bridges, all of which have claims upon the attention of the 
 stranger ; we shall take them in theii- regidar succession. 
 
 1. LONDON BRIDGE. 
 
 This splendid specimen of architectural genius, was built from the design of ]Mr. 
 John Remiie and his sons. Sir John aud Mr. George Remiie ; the first stone of which 
 was laid in 1825, and the brid™ opened to the pubUc on the 1st of August, 1831, 
 William IV. and Queen Adelaide being present on the occasion. It has five semi- 
 elliptical arches over the river, the centre of which has one huucked and fifty-two 
 feet span, with a rise above high-water mark of twenty-nine feet six inches ; the arches 
 next the centre are one hundi-ed and forty feet in span, with a proportionate rise, and 
 the abutment arches are of one hundred and thirty feet span, with a rise of tweuty-four 
 feet six inches. Architects in general assign the pabu of beauty, strength aud durability 
 to this bridge above aU others. The approaches to this noble structm-e are magnificent, 
 both on the Loudon and Surrev sides of the river.
 
 LONDON. 
 
 2. SOUTHWARK BRIDGE, 
 
 erected from the design of Mr. John Renniej-was commenced in 1815, and opened to the 
 public in 1819. It consists of three cast-u-on arches, the centre one having a span of 
 two hundi-ed and forty feet, resting on stone piers. The ii'on work weighed five thousand 
 seven hundi-ed and eighty tons. The approach to this fine bridge on the City side is 
 very bad; Queen Street being narrow and on a steep declivity; but it is now unclergoing 
 great alterations. 
 
 3. BLACKERIARS BRIDGE 
 
 was considered a handsome structure until its repairs, in 1840, when the original 
 character of its architecture was lost sight of entirely by the City architect, and the 
 open balustraded parapets, essential to tiie harmony of tiie whole, were replaced by a 
 plain stone wall, altogether out of character and keeping with the rest of the stmctilre. 
 It was built after the design and under the dii-ection of Robei-t Mylue, a Scotchman, 
 who died in ISll. The first stone was laid in 1760, and the bridge was opened generally 
 to the public in 1769. It has nine eUiptical arches, and is nine hundi-ed and ninety-five 
 feet in length. The approaches from the City by Bridge Street on the one side, and the 
 Blackfriars Road on the other, are very noble." 
 
 4. WATERLOO BRIDGE. 
 
 The first stone of tliis truly magnificent stmcture, which has involved thousands in 
 ruin, was laid in 1811, and it was opened to the public in 1817. Dui-ing the progress 
 of constraction, that glorious event ti-anspired which determined its proprietors to 
 bestow upon it the name of Wellington's last and crowning victory. One of the most 
 distinguished foreign senators (M. Dupin), pays the following brilliant compliment to 
 the genius of its engineer, ^Ir. Jolm Rennie. "Speaking of this bridge he says : " It is a 
 colossal moniunent worthy of Sesostris and the Caesars." It consists of rune elbptieal 
 arches, each of one hundred and twenty feet span, supported on piers of twenty feet 
 wide at the springing of the arches. The entii-e length of the bridge is two thousand 
 four hundi-ed and titty-six feet, the river arches being one thousand tlnee hundi-ed and 
 eighty feet in length, the remaining distance being" borne by the land arches, three 
 hundred and ten feet of noble approach ft-om the Strand, and seven hundi-ed and sixty-six 
 feet on the Surrey side, or Bridge Road. The road in its whole distance is perfectly level. 
 
 5. HUNGEREORD SUSPENSION BRIDGE 
 
 Eor foot passengers only, is one of tlie Hghest and most elegant of its kind in the 
 empire. It crosses the Thames from Hungerford Market, near Charing Cross (under 
 which denomination the bridge is also kno^^Ti), to Belvidere Road, Lambeth. It was 
 erected under the superintendence and du-ection of Sir Isambert Brmiel ; the first stone 
 was laid in ISll, and it was opened to the pubHc in 1815. It consists of thi-ee arches, 
 or more properly speaking of three divisions, the central being six himdred and seventy- 
 six feet six inches in length, or one huncbed and sixteen feet six inches longer than that 
 of the Menai Bridge, and the other two three hundred and thii-ty-three feet each. The 
 towers which carry the chains are in the Italian style, similar to the market buildings. 
 It is, in fact, sui-passed only in length by the bridge at Fribourg, in Switzerland, the 
 span of wliich, from pier to pier, is aoout nine hundi-ed feet. 
 
 6. WESTMINSTER BRIDGE 
 
 was built by Charles Labelye, a Swiss ; the first stone was laid in 1738-9, and opened 
 to the pubUc in 1750. It is one thousand two hundred and twenty-three feet long by 
 forty-five feet -wide, and consists of foui-teen arches of diflerent dimensions, the centre 
 being of seventy-six feet span. A few years ago tliis brid£:e was considered to be in a 
 dangerous state, and its high parapets and heavy balustru(lcs, which the French ^^-its 
 declared had been erected as a precaution against the Englisli propensity to suicide, were 
 taken down to relieve the foundations; but this has not cured the defect, and it is now 
 allowed to remain only until another can be substituted.
 
 LONDON. 
 
 7. VAUXHALL BRIDGE. 
 
 This light and pleasing bridge is from the desio-ns of Mr. James Walker, and consists 
 of nine arches of eqnal dimensions, of iron, reposing on stone piers, connecting Pimlieo 
 and Millbank with A'auxhall. It was begun in ISll, and opened in 1816. The exterior 
 parapets of this bridge are leased to the London Gas Light Company, whose mains thus 
 carried across the Thames, are of sufficient diameter to enable tliem to supply the distant 
 parishes of St. Pancras and ]\larylebone, while they add considerably to the embellish- 
 ment of the bridge. The approaches to YauxhaU Bridge from Westminster, as well as 
 from Pimlieo, are broad and handsome ; and although it is only lately that speculators 
 upon a grand scale have turned then- attention to this latter s'pot, bordering upon the 
 river, as an eligible site for building, almost a new town has already sprmig up, whose 
 streets, scpares, and eresceuts, with then- spacious houses, will soon vie with any other 
 portion of the metropolis in elegance and architectural taste. 
 
 RIVER SCENERY. 
 
 The stranger ha\"ing now vasited each of London's splendid bridges, would probably 
 desire to become better acquainted with the banks of the noble river over which they 
 are tlu'owu ; let him, therefore, descend the steps near the centre of Vauxhall Bridge by 
 the Steam Pier, and he will be re-conveyed to the point from whence he started, London 
 Bridge, in an elegant steam-boat, for the small simi of two-pence. The satisfaction he 
 will derive from his trip, wiU depend greatly upon his o^vn temperament and habits of 
 thought ; but, under any circumstances, the feebng excited would probably be more that 
 of wonderment than uuquaUlied delight. Leaving VauxliaU Bridge, behind a splendid 
 quay, a huge brick fortress, with pointed towers Hke the old Temple at Paris, is the only 
 solitary building wliieh presents itself for a long distance on the Middlesex side, called 
 the Millbank Peniteutiarv ; while on the Surrey, or opposite side of the river, with the 
 exception of the fine and extensive works of the London Gas Company, near the bridge, 
 an unbroken series of warehouses, wharfs, dilapidated sheds and boat-houses meet his 
 view until he arrives at the venerable church of Lambeth, and the Ai'chiepiscopal Palace 
 of Canterbury, opposite to which, above the houses in Millbank, are seen the curious 
 towers of St. Johri's, and Westminster's far-famed Abbey ; while washed by the waters of 
 the Thames, now appears the noble quay, on which stands the new Houses of Parliament, 
 extending their highly elaborated facade for a length of nine hundred feet to the 
 very abutment of ^^'estminster Bridge. Passing under which, on the right, a constant 
 succession of coal and timber wharfs, relieved by no important building, marks the Sui-rey 
 banks as exclusively commercial, while on the left, though ahnost stiU in the midst of 
 coal lighters, may be seen the Transport Office just beyond the bridge. Whitehall 
 Gardens, where the late venerated statesman, Sii- Robert Peel, resided, Privv Gardens, the 
 abode of wealth and aristocracy, and Whitehall. Hungerford Bridge and ]\Iarket now 
 arrest the stranger's attention ; immediately to the left of which, on the route eastward, 
 is a narrow-waUed quay, planted witli trees, called ViUiers' Walk, fronting the residence 
 of the great Duke of Buckingham, who was assassinated by Felt on, at Portsmouth, in the 
 centre of wliich is stiU the handsome stone water-gate, adorned with the armorial ensigns 
 of the potent Duke, built by Imgo Jones, to surprise him on his return to England. 
 
 A little fiu'ther on is the Adelphi, built by the brothers Adams. It has been greatly 
 admired by the scientific world ; and although the wonders of engineering and archi- 
 tectural daring lately achieved, thi'ow a shade over the pigmy efforts of the last century, 
 great praise is due to the brothers for their bold design, and its admirable execution. 
 This range of building, ^ith its noble terrace overlooking the river, reaches to the backs 
 of the houses in the Strand, and is raised from the level of high-water mark upon a series 
 of dark arches, used as stables for the horses employed in the extensive coal trade here 
 carried on. The entrances to these singular subterranean vaults are Hke those of a mine ; 
 but latterly they have been lighted by gas, and are well worthy of inspection. Beyond 
 the Adelphi, just before arriving at Waterloo Bridge, altliough not now very conspicuous, 
 lies the Savoy Church, or St. Mary-le-Savoy, for the particulars of which, and the ancient
 
 6 LONDON. 
 
 palace whicli stood here, and wherein John, King of France, was so long imprisoned, and 
 aftei-wards died, while on a visit to this coimtrv, the reader ninst refer to Cunninghani's 
 " Hand Book of London." On the opposite side of the river, the succession of wharfs before 
 described is only broken by tlie huge shafts of the shot manufacturers, and the splendid 
 estabUslunent of Messrs. Goding, the Lion Brewery. Passing under ^A'aterloo Bridge, 
 the stranger's attention cannot fail to be arrested by the magnificent bnikling which 
 now opens to his view — Somerset House. Tliis noble pile, the only one worthy tiie name 
 of a palace in London, is perfect in all its architectiu'al proportions, and whether regarded 
 from the river, or from its grand interior coui-t, at its principal entrance from the Strand, 
 it must strike every beholder -n-ith astonishment that it is not the residence of royalty. 
 Were the windows of tliis truly splendid edifice in a proportionate scale of graudeui' with 
 the rest of the elevation, few capitals of Europe could boast a nobler or more kingly 
 residence. It is exclusively devoted to oiEces of govermuent, and for the convenience 
 of the Queen's stationery, &c. The traveller will see, that beneath the arches of its 
 foimdation on the river, barges can enter at high-water or half-tide, into the interior of 
 the buildbig, and unload the government stores. The east wing of this building on the 
 river, with an entrance in the Strand foiins the King's College and School. Going a-head, 
 as brother Jonathan says, and passing the extremities of several respectable and tolerably 
 neat streets, issuing at right angles from the Strand, the next objects which attract 
 attention are the pretty gardens and buildings of the Temples, the two ancient Iims of 
 Coiu't, formerly the abode of the Knights' Templars, many of whom He biuded in the 
 magnificent church of the Inner Temple. Beyond this spot little arrests the stranger's 
 attention, or uiternipts the general line of warehouses on either side of the river ; but 
 these have now become more important and more spacious as approaching nearer to the 
 centre of commerce. We must, however, except from tliis remark the jnu-est and best, 
 we might almost say the only view of Loudon's splendid Cathedral, St. Paul's, which vrHl 
 be described more fully hereafter', and the hundreds of steeples which meet the eye on 
 every side. Just before reaching London Bridge, on the Surrey side, the extensive river-side 
 premises of Messrs. Barclay and Perkins, the eminent brewers, a perfect town of itself, 
 must excite both wonder and siu'prise ; to which, however, on Bankside, just beyond South- 
 wark Bridge, will be seen (for some time to come, perhaps for centuries, in order to 
 commemorate a popidar but most lawless proceeding, which may be regarded in its only 
 paUiative light, as a proof of British hatred to woman's oppressors), the sign of the George, 
 wliich is now inscribed in large letters, legible from the opposite side of the Thames, 
 " Ha^^^lau's Refuge," to indicate where this unfortunate Austrian General foimd shelter 
 from the brewers of Barclay and Perkins' establishment. "VMth the exception of a slight 
 \'iew of the top of the venerable, but lately-restored church of St. Mary Olave's, in the 
 Borough of Southwark, and the magnificent modern hall of the Fishmongers' Company ou 
 the opposite side at the foot of London Bridge, no other remarkable buildings present them- 
 selves to our recoUection until after passing the bridge. For this piu'pose, in order to 
 inspect the wonders of below hridge, as it is termed, it M-ill be necessary to land and 
 re-embark from the same place for a twopeiuiy, fourpcmiy, or sixpenny ride, according to 
 the distances of the objects required to be visited, in the Greenwich or Blackwall steamers. 
 From tliis spot the stranger to Loudon will pass through those forests of masts he witnessed 
 from the bridge above, before which, as he gUdes by BiUingsgate Market, we may invite 
 his attention to a very elegant and conspicuous building, lately erected in Thames Street, 
 for the Coal Exchange, beyond which, on a noble quay, \\\ih. a magnificent broad terrace-walk 
 fronting the Thames, and Wsible from the bridge, stands the Custom House. It is a budding 
 of umneuse dimensions, and well adajited to the object for which it was intended, although 
 it cannot be said that its elevation betrays any great architectural beauty or embellish- 
 ment. While upon this subject we may observe, that although the exports from London 
 are not now to be compared with those of Liver[:)ool, its import trade exceeds not only 
 all the other parts of the empire, but that of any in the world, Mr. McCulloch having 
 estimated it at the enormous annual amount of £80,000,000 sterling.. 
 
 Beyond the Custom House we approach, but without trembling, that once dread 
 fortress, the celebrated Tower of London, so fuU of gi-eat historical associations, so intimately 
 connected with all those tales of blood and sorrow winch have affected the youtlifid student 
 even to tears while perusing the dark pages of history. It now inspires no horror on our 
 minds, no thrill passes through our souls when inspecting its deepest dungeons, we 
 shudder only for the crimes of our forefathers ; for the emancipation of the mind from 
 the thraldom of ignorance, has thus changed our sentiments from the fear of power to
 
 LONDON. 7 
 
 humiliating pity for the misguided oppressors. Sto^r's description of this famous fortress 
 was uutn within the two last centimes perfectly aj^plicable, he says : 
 
 " This Tower is a citadel to defend or command the city ; a royal palace for assemblies 
 or treaties ; a prison of state for the most dangerous offenders ; the only place of coinage 
 for aU England at this tune ; the armoury for warlike provisions ; the treasury of the 
 ornaments and gootls of the Cro'mi ; and general conserver of the most valuable records 
 of the King's Coiuis of Justice at Westminster." — p. 23. 
 
 Shakspeax'e and earlier ^Titers assign the erection of tliis stronghold to Julius Caesar ; 
 but the accoimt is unconfirmed, although for many ceutuiies one part of the building was 
 called " The Tower of Julius." It is generally supposed to have been built by WiUiam 
 the Conqueror, and Stow confirms the fact of the great White Tower, the oldest portion 
 of the whole sti-ucture, having been erected in 107S, under the superintendence of 
 Gimdolph, Bishop of Rochester, who was also the architect of Eochester Castle. A 
 history of the Tower would Ije no small history of England, a close inspection of its many 
 curiosities wiU amply repay the visitor. But as the steamer glides onwards towards the 
 Pool, the stranger may detect the terrible "Traitor's Gate," a small postern, with a 
 drawbridge, which Stow says, is " seldom let do«Ti but for the receipt of some great 
 persons prisoners." 
 
 " On tliroiiijli that g:ate misnamed, tlirougli which before 
 Went Sitliiey, Russell, Raleigh, Craumer, Sloore." — eogees' humaij life. 
 
 Now steaming thi-ough the narrow channels of the river literally choked ^^"ith shipping, 
 and in which a free passage is only preserved by the strict regulations of the Thames' 
 PoKce, the stranger wiU be astonished at the enormous warehouses, granaries, ship- 
 building yards, manufactories, wet and dry docks, &c., which line both banks of the 
 Thames. The great docks we shall presently describe as structures of too much unport- 
 ance in a national point of view to be passed over without special notice ; but we must 
 fh'st conduct our visitors to the principal object for which he has probably made this 
 little excui'sion. 
 
 THE THAMES TUNNEL. 
 
 Tills woudei-fiJ imdertaking of the genius, skill, and enterprise of Su" Isambert Biiinel, 
 was commenced in March, 1S2.5, and opened to the public in March, 1S43 : seven years' 
 cessation of laboiu- having occiu'red in consequence of an inundation, which filled the 
 tunnel with water, in 1828 ; the works wei'e not recommenced until 183.5, so that the 
 period of actual operations, untd entire completion, was eleven years. This timnel, 
 which connects Wapping with Rotherhithe, or Reckiif, is twelve hundred feet in length 
 beneath the bed of the river. It is a wonderfid imdertaking, but no good has yet been 
 derived from it by those who invested their capital in the scheme, as the toU, one penny 
 for each passenger, barely covers the expenditiu-e. The descent and ascent are by 
 cyHndiical shafts, of one himdred steps each, but the trouble is amply repaid. 
 
 Oiu- feeble description of the riches of the Thames- — the greatest commercial river in 
 the world — must here end, as the various interesting places below this point, Ti\"ill form 
 subjects for the general body of the work ; but not so those celebrated havens for ship- 
 ping, and the rich produce of foreign trade, which are the glory of this essentially 
 commercial coimtry, they all lie in this immediate vicinity. 
 
 THE DOCKS. 
 
 1. THE EAST INDIA DOCKS, BLACKWALL, 
 
 which locality is reached, m ten minutes by the Blackwall Railway, from the principal 
 station inFenehiu-ch Street, City, or by the'kmumerable omnibuses from the West End, 
 and steam-boats from Hungerford Bridge, stopping to take in passengers at aU the inter- 
 vening piers, and plying from morning till night. These splendid basins were originally 
 erected for the East India Company's shipping; but since the opening of the trade to 
 India, they have become the property of the'West India Dock Company. They were 
 opened for the reception of shipping in 1806. The Import Dock has an area of nineteen 
 acres, the Export Docks, ten acres, and the basin, three. It is here that the stranger,
 
 8 LONDON. 
 
 after feasting his eyes with a view of the stout bulwarks of England's commercial maruie, 
 may satisfy his appetite upon the delicacies of a white-bait repast, for which Blackwall, 
 and particularly the Brunswick Hotel, are so justly celebrated. 
 
 2. THE WEST INDIA DOCKS. 
 
 These immense shelters, erected originally for the ships employed in the once luxuriant 
 West India trade, were opened in 1802, the first stone having been laid by the illustrious 
 William Pitt in ISOO. They are situate between Limehoiise and Blackwall, and have an 
 area of two hundred and ninety-five acres ; Import Dock, one hundred and seventy yards 
 long by one hundred and sixty-six broad ; Export Dock, one himdred and seventy yards by 
 one"huncb-ed and thirty -five. A canal, three-quarters of a mile long, cuts oif a bend of the 
 river, comiecting Limehouse Beach with Blackwall Reach, and forming the northern 
 boundaiy of the Isle of Dogs. The Import and Export Docks, with then- spacious 
 warehouses, are enclosed within lofty walls five feet thick. These docks, wliich now 
 belong to the East and West India Dock Company (whose of&ce is in Billiter Square), 
 are open to every kind of shipping. The Blackwall Railway also affords the readiest 
 access to them. 
 
 3. THE COMMERCIAL DOCKS, 
 
 belonging to the company of that name, consist of five spacious and commodious basins, 
 entered from the Thames between Randall's Rents and Dog and Duck Stairs, nearly 
 opposite King's Arms' Stairs, in the Isle of Dogs. They were opened in 1807, and were 
 originally called the Greenland Docks. 
 
 4. THE LONDON DOCKS, 
 
 comprise an area of ninety acres ; thirty-six acres of water, and twelve thousand nine 
 hundred and eighty feet of quay and jetty frontage, w^th thi-ee entrances from 
 the Thames — the Hennitage, T^^apping, and ShadweU. The Western Dock has an 
 area of twenty acres ; the Eastern, seven ; and the Wapping Basm, three acres. That 
 portion of the dock which is completely walled in, possesses accommodation for three 
 hundi'ed and two vessels, exclusive of small craft, ^vith warehouse room for two huucked 
 and twenty thousand tons of goods, and cellarage for eight thousand pipes of wine or 
 spii-its. The tobacco warehouses, which cover five acres of ground, are rented by 
 Government at £14,000 per annum. The basins and shipping are open to the public ; 
 but to inspect the vaults, &c., an order must be obtained from the Secretary at the 
 London Dock House, ia New Bank Bmldiugs. Ladies are not admitted after 1 p.m. 
 
 5. ST. KATHARINE'S DOCKS, 
 
 situated near the Tower of London, derive their name from, and are built on the site of 
 St. Katharine's Hospital, founded by Matilda, wife of King Stephen, about 1148, which 
 hospital was removed to the Regent's Park. No less than twelve hundi-ed and fifty 
 other houses were pui'chased and pidled do^vn to make room for this great undertaking, 
 which was commenced in 1827, under Mr. Telford as engineer, and Mr. Hardwick as 
 architect, and opened for the reception of shipping 2.5th October, 1828. Ai-ea of docks 
 twenty -four acres, of which eleven and a half acres are the wet docks. Ships of seven 
 hundi-ed tons can enter at any time of the tide. The warehouses, vaults, frc, can hold 
 one hmidred and ten thousand tons of goods. The average profits exceed £100,000 
 per amium. 
 
 Independently of those we have enumerated, there are many private docks for ship- 
 building purposes. 
 
 ECCLESIASTICAL BUILDINGS. 
 
 ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL. 
 
 At the head of this subject must be ranked the Cathcdi-al of St. Paul's, built on the 
 site of the old metropolitan church of London, began 1675, and finished 1710. It is one 
 of the grandest pieces of architectui-e in the world. It matters not that St. Peter's, at
 
 LONDON. 9 
 
 Rome, is infiuitely larger, or that it contains px-iceless riches in statuary, in gold, in 
 silver, and in precious stones, St. Paul's stands alone and unmasked, as a whole and 
 uniform structm-e, altliougii both the composite aud Corintliian styles were adopted in 
 the design of the single architect. Sir Christopher Wren, who began and completed it in 
 thirty-five years ; and it is related as somewhat singular, that dm-ing that period there 
 was but one master mason, ]\Ii-. Thomas Strong, and that one Bishop, Dr. Henry 
 Compton, pi'csided all the time over the diocese. St. Paul's is biult in the form of a 
 Latin cross, with projections at the west-end of the nave, to give an imposing width to 
 the great west entrance. Length from east to west, five hundi'ed feet ; breadth of the 
 body of the cluu-ch, one hmidi-ed feet ; the towers at the west end are two huncked and 
 twenty -two feet high ; aud the height of the whole buQcling from tire street to the top of 
 the cross, is fom- himcked and foui- feet. No descri]itiou can do justice to tliis spleudid 
 temple of religion, its monuments, its wliispering gallery, its dome, its colossal grandeiu', 
 can only be j)roperly appreciated by those who have ocular demonstration of the sublime 
 and beautifid proportions of this noble metropolitan chui-ch. 
 
 WESTMINSTER ABBEY, 
 
 of a perfectly different style of architecture to its eastern rival, venerable and vene- 
 rated for its historical associations, teeming with the ashes of kings, princes, warriors, 
 statesmen, and poets, is one of the noblest specimens of the early English style of 
 architecture extant (Wren's misightly towers excepted), wliile some portions of tliis 
 sacred edifice, particularly the Chapel of Hem-y VII., are of a highly-elaborated and florid 
 Gothic. It was originally a Benedictine monastery, the " Minster west of St. Paul's," 
 from which its vicinity derived the name of Westminster, founded by Sebert, King of the 
 East Saxons, a.d. 616. It was afterwards considerably enlarged by Edward the Confessor 
 and other kings, aud rebuilt during the reigns of Hem-y II. and Edward I. It is the 
 place of coronation for the kin^s aud queens of England. Access to the Abbey can 
 be had at all reasonable times, by the small entrance in Poet's Comer, and during the 
 daily service a general view of this tinily masnificent ecclesiastical stnictiu'e may be 
 obtained gratuitously ; but the rich and respleucleut chapels of Hem-y "VT^I. and Edward 
 the Confessor, with the royal tombs, the monuments of England's greatest nobles and 
 most remarkable persons, with relics aud cm-iosities of the most profound interest, can be 
 viewed for a trifliug fee to tlie verger ; aud it would be accounted ahnost heresy for a 
 stranger to quit the metropolis without visiting tliis beautiful monument of antiquity. 
 
 CITY CHURCHES. 
 
 Of the City parochial churches most worthy of attention, we may cite St. Bride's, Fleet 
 Street, styled one of Wren's " architectiu-al glories ;" St. Stephen's, Walbrook, the 
 interior of which is grand and imposing; St. Mary-at-HHl, near BiUingsgate; ditto 
 Abchurch, in Abcluu-ch Lane ; cUtto Aldermanbiu-y, in Cripplegate Ward; ditto Le Bow, 
 in Cheapside, all persons bom within the sound of whose bells are accoimted cockneys. 
 This church was built upon the arches of the old one, which was destroyed in the fire of 
 London, the most aucieut chui-ch in the City of human constniction, the crvpt of which 
 is now perfect. All the foregoing are by Wren, as well as St. Mary Magdalen, Old Pish 
 Street ; Chi-ist Chui-ch, Newgate Street ; and St. Mary, Somerset, in the Ward of 
 Queeuhithe ; and St. Sepulchre, whose fatal bell has ning the kneR of many a doomed 
 malefactor in the adjacent cells of Newgate ; St. Giles', Cripplegate, an ancient and 
 interesting chm-ch, in which repose the ashes of John Milton and his father (to the 
 former of whom there is a monument) ; Sir Martin Erobisher, the intrepid mariner ; aud 
 Jolm Speed, the topographer, to whom there is a monmnent similar to the frontispiece in 
 his Sm-vey of London. Many others have clauu to notice, but it would be iiupossible to 
 particularize them unless in a work devoted to this subject alone. At the West End we 
 may cite St. Margaret's, adjacent to Westmmster Abbey ; St. John's ; St. Martui's-in-the- 
 Fields, Trafalgar Square, with its nohle fagade ; St. GHes-in-the-Fields, with the well- 
 executed tablet of the Last Judgment, in relief, over the gateway-eutrance to the 
 church-yard ; St. George's, Hanover Square ; St. Marylebone ; St. Pancras New Church ; 
 and St. LuJce's, Chelsea, besides many otlier aucieut, and an infinity of modem, structures 
 of different styles of architecture, but chiefly Gothic, which have sprung up almost like 
 magic since the acts passed for the extension of church accommodation.
 
 10 LONDON. 
 
 PALACES. 
 
 Of palatial resideuces, fcAV cities cau boast uu)i-e thau Loudou; Init of roval })alaces, 
 strictly so speaking, there are ])ut two, neither of Avhich, exteriorly, are worthy the 
 dignity of the Crown, or the inucli-boasted majesty of the people. St. James's, the most 
 ancient, a miseraljle brick buikUug, formerly a hospital for lepers, was rebiult, and 
 enclosed within the Park by Hem-y AT^II., of which the gateway at the bottom of St. 
 James's Street, and the Presence Chamber, the cliinuiey -piece of which bears his initials, 
 with those of Queeii Anne Pole^Ti, are the only remauiing portions. The ]n-escnt 
 unsightly mass of bricks, however, contains some line rece])tion rooms; and u])on 
 relieraig guard at eleven o'clock each moruing, the bands of the Foot Guards play pieces 
 from the best operas in the best style, ui the old quackaugle \rithin the gateway. 
 
 BUCKINGHAM PALACE, 
 
 the euomious amount of expenditui-e upon wldch, might under judicious management 
 have produced a palace worthy the vast empii-e of England and her dominions, and 
 consequently one of the nol)lest pro])ortions, is nevertheless, though a most extensive! 
 building, which has lately been greatly augmented, far, very far, from conunandiug 
 respect as a proper residence of the Sovereign of these realms ; and if Englisluueu are 
 generally of tliis opinion, what must be the feelings of foreigners as to our want of taste 
 when comparing this palace ^^dth the really splendid architectimd triiimi)hs of ahnost all 
 the Coui'ts of Europe ? It was built on the site of Queen Charlotte's residence, at the 
 Pindico end of St. James's Park, by his late i\Iajesty George IV., formiug, uj)ou its 
 completion, three sides of a square ; but not aliortung sulficient accounuodation, a front 
 has been added to it, which now encloses a perfect quacb'augle, shut out from jniblic 
 gaze, which, until a recent but unpopular plan for enclosing a very slight jiortiou of the 
 Park, so as to form a sort of fore-coiu-t, would have been approached by all the idle boys 
 who frequent that portion of St. James's Park. That Buckinghaui Palace has now 
 assmued a grander appearance it cannot be doubted, but it still exhibits a want of that 
 noble and refined taste we coidd ha\e desired for the permanent town residence of Her 
 Majesty and her successors, and wliich no patching cau ever bestow upon it. 
 
 KENSINGTON. 
 
 Another palace in name, but so little does tins cumbrous red brick pile offer in the 
 nature of attraction to the jjuljlic taste, that visitors to the cajtittd, and the residents in 
 the Metropolis, are rarely tempted to lead then- steps towards it. Its gardens however, 
 })lanted with rose-shrul)s and the choicest flowers ; its pleasure-grounds (considered by 
 Erenclauen superior to the gardens of the TuLUeries), ornamented witli noble elms, oaks, 
 venerable ehesinuts and stately beeches ; and its broad terraces, and l)eautrl'idly-kept gravel- 
 walks, are the most attractive resort of the fashionable world during the summer uionths 
 of the London season preceding the rising of Parliament. On Tuesdays and Eridays, in 
 July and August, between the houi-s of three and six, the promenade is enlivened by 
 music, the bands of the Life or Horse Guards being in attendance, and playing selections 
 from all the favoiu-ite operas. Without inciu'ruig the imputation of national vanity, it 
 may be said that no capital in Eui-()])e can jiroduce such an assemblage of rank, fashion, 
 and loveliness as are here congregateil on these occasions. These gardens are situated 
 at the west end of Hyde Park, from which they are entered, as well as from the palace 
 precincts in Kensiugton. 
 
 PALACES OE THE NOBILITY AND GENTllY. 
 
 IMiile upon the subject of ])alaces, wc may obseiTe, that although the houses of the 
 nobility and gentry in tlie principal squares and streets at the West End, are snni))tu()\is 
 within, they |)rcsciit but little evidence of grandenr externally; we may, however, except 
 from this rule the following handsome, and in some instances noble, elevations:
 
 LONDON. 11 
 
 Apsley House, Duke of Welliugton ; Gloucester House, Park Lane, H.R.H. the 
 Duciiess of Gloucester ; Mr. Hope's splendid mansion, comer of Do^vn Street ; the 
 Marrpiis of Hertford's new mansion ; Cambridge House, H.R.H. the Duke of Cambridge; 
 Bath House, Lord Ashbiu'ton ; Devonsliire House, Dxike of Devonshire ; Burlington 
 House, Earl of Burlington : the above are all in Piccadilly. Stafford House, Stable 
 Yard, Duke of Sutheriaud; the Earl of Ellesmere's splendid mansion in Cleveland 
 Square ; Earl Spencer's noble residence in St. James's Place ; and the Duke of Northum- 
 berland's, at Cliaring Cross, are the most conspicuous and the tinest in London. To 
 these may be added, Lansdo\vne House, Berkeley Square ; ]\Iar(piis of Lansdowne ; 
 Chestertield House, Great Stanhope Street ; Uxbridge House, Burlington Street, the 
 Marquis of Anglesey ; Lord liokeby's mansion. Upper Berkeley Street, Portman Square ; 
 Montague House, Whitehall Gardens, the Duke of Buccleugh ; Harcom-t House, the 
 Duke of Portland; Grosvenor House, Upper Grosvenor Street, the Marquis of West- 
 minster ; Lambeth Palace, Archbishop of Canterbury ; and ]\Iarlborough House, Pall 
 MaU, the residence of the late Queen Adelaide, now devoted to the Vernon Gallery of 
 pictures. Almost all these noble residences have considerable gardens ; few of them 
 however are superior in their internal accommodation to the general run of houses of the 
 nobility and gentry in Belgrave, Grosvenor, and Portman Squares, Park Lane, Carlton 
 Gardens, &c. 
 
 THE PARKS. 
 
 London has five parks, three ancient and two modem. Hyde Park is on the site of 
 the ancient Manor of Hide, belonging formerly to the Abbey of Westminster. It was 
 once celebrated as a hunting-ground of royalty,' subsequently for horse races and duels,^ 
 and is now exclusively used as a promenade for the nobility and gentry, and a place of 
 recreation for the people in general. It contains an area enclosed within iron rails, of 
 about two hundred and fifty acres, and is bounded and surrounded by Knightsbridge and 
 Kensington Gore on the south, Kensington Gardens on the west, Connaught Place, the 
 Bayswater Road, with the splendid residences of Hyde Park Gardens (beliind which a 
 new city of palaces has spiiuig up witliin the last few years) on the north, and Park 
 Lane on the east. It is beautifiiUy laid out in walks and irives, and is ornamented with 
 a noble sheet of water, called the Serpentine River, wliich is crossed at the upper, or 
 Kensington Garden end, by an elegant stone bridge of five arches. Rotten Row, on the 
 south side of tliis beaut'ifid park, is devoted exclusively to equestrians, a healthful 
 exercise that has lately taken such extension amongst the fair sex, that many hmidreds 
 of beautiful amazous may be seen liere at all hours" of the day during the season. The 
 Life Guards cavalry barracks are situated on this side of the park, in front of which 
 the colossal building for the Exhibition of 1851, is erected. No carriages can pass 
 up Rotten Row, except those of Her Majesty and the Dulce of St. Alban's, as Hereditary 
 Grand Falconer of England. Near the Piccadilly entrance to this park (a handsome 
 screen from the designs of Decimus Burton), is a colossal statue of Achilles, by Westma- 
 cott, raised to commemorate the martial exploits of the Duke of Wellington, by the ladies 
 of England. Opposite to the gate in question, is the splendid arch (also by Decimus 
 Burton) wliich forms the entrance to 
 
 ST. JAMES'S PARK. 
 
 This triumphal arch, at the top of Constitution HiU, is sui-mounted by an equestrian 
 statue of the hero of Waterloo, of colossal size, by Matthew Coles Wyatt, erected m 
 1846. Constitution Hill leads directly into St. James's Park and to Buckingham Palace ; 
 being bounded on the west by Grosvenor Place and the liigh wall of Her Majesty's 
 private gardens, and on the east by the Green Park, from which it is separated only by 
 an open iron railing. This park is in the form of a kite ; the narrow, or Pimhco end, 
 being terminated by Buckingham Palace, while the opposite, or Westminster end, is 
 occupied by a noble "parade at the back of the Horse Guards; to the right and^lett of 
 which building, stand the Admiralty and the Treasury. The centre of St. James's Park 
 
 c 2
 
 12 LONDON. 
 
 is enclosed by iron railiuejs, aud the gromi(is, wliicli are beautifully laid out, are o])cn to 
 the public. The oruameutal water, exteudiui:^ from the Palace to tJie parade, and ruuning 
 tlu-ough these delis;htful ]»leasure-grouuds, coutauis a wonderful collection of water-fowl 
 from all parts of the world. The Bird Cage Walk, leading in a direct line to Westminster 
 Bridge, and in which are the Wellington Infantry Barracks, forms the southern boundary 
 of this park, while the Green Park, St. James's Palace, the Stable Yard, the gardens of 
 Marlborough House, and the houses in Pall Mall and Carlton Gardens, form its northern 
 boundary; at the east end of wliicli is a noble flight of ste]is, immediately vuider the 
 Duke of York's column, leading into Waterloo Place and Regent Street. 
 
 THE GREEN PARK. 
 
 This park which, as we before observed, is only divided from St. James's by an iron 
 railing, extends from the Mall in St. James's Park, near the Palace of that name, at right 
 angles, to about the centre of Piccadilly, of which it forms one side, from opposite 
 Devonshire House to the triumjihal arch at the top of Constitution Hill, ah-eady described. 
 Here are some very pretty luididations and iueqiiaUties of siufacc ; and when the newly- 
 planted trees and shrubs come to matmity, it will be a very pleasing promenade. On 
 the Piccadilly side there are many noble and venerable ehns, aud it is surrounded and 
 intersected by gravel walks. On the highest ground by Piccadilly, there is a reservoir 
 belonging to one of the great water companies. 
 
 REGENT'S PARK. 
 
 So called, in compliment to his late Majesty George IV., when Regent, was formerly 
 known as Marylebone Fields. It contains an area of about three liundi'cd and fifty acres, 
 aud is situated beyond the New Road, on the north side of London, imder Primrose 
 HiU. A great portion of this park is opeu to the pubhc, aud is intersected by broad . 
 gravel-walks, on wluch benches aud seats are placed for theii' accommodation at conve- 
 nieut distances. Certain parts, however, are enclosed, and contam many beautiful villas 
 of the nobility, &c., one of which, St. Dunstau's, was built by the late Marquis of 
 Hertford, and contains the giants of St. Dunstau's old ehui-ch, which were pui'chased by 
 his Lordship when that venerable edifice was piilled dovvn for the unprovemeut of Fleet 
 Street. The park is surrounded by handsome tei-races of a superior order of architectm-e, 
 and the interior contains a flue piece of water aud several bcautifid plantations. Here are 
 also the Zoological Gardens and other institutions, which will be named under the head 
 of PubUc Sights aud Amusemeuts. On the east side of the park is the Hos])ital of St. 
 Katherine, wluch was removed to tliis spot when its original site was sold for the 
 formation of the St. Katherine's Dock. Taken as a whole, it may be truly said that no 
 capital in Europe, or the world, possesses so splendid an assemblage of houses and villas 
 as the Regent's Park. 
 
 VICTORIA PARK. 
 
 Lyuig entirely out of our beat, we shall give Mr. Cuiniingham's brief account of this 
 open space which was granted by the Crown for the recreation of the i)eople of a densely- 
 crowded neighbourhood : "It is a plot of pleasiu-e-groimd, a little larger than St. James's 
 Park, planted and laid out in the reign of the Sovereign whose name it bears. It is 
 hounded on the south by Sh- George Ducket's Canal (sometimes called the Lea Union 
 Canal) ; on the west, by the Regent's Canal ; on the east, by Old Ford Lane, leading 
 from Old Ford to Hackney Wick ; and on the north, by an irregular hue of fields. It 
 serves as a lung for the north-east part of Loudon, and has akeady added to the health 
 of the inhabitants of Spitalfields and Bctlmal Green."

 PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND MONUMENTS. 
 
 Of the public buildiugs of London, the City, miquestional)ly, bears the pabn, for it 
 can boast at least half a dozen which surpass the general run of national edilices in the 
 "V\^est End. Of these, we may cite the 
 
 NEW ROYAL EXCHANGE, 
 
 which, vnih all its faults, is a noble structure, which cannot fail to impress the stranger 
 with the highest idea of the commerce of a country reriuii-iug such a space for the 
 busmess of its nierchants. The bui-uin^ of the old, and the erection of tliis grand building, 
 are too well knowu to rcquii-e any detail. lu front of the Exchange is an equestrian 
 statue of the Duke of Wellington, and opposite is 
 
 THE BANK OE ENGLAND, 
 
 a vast and very fine building ; the hiterior arrangements of which are truly wonderful, 
 and are well worthy of inspection. Near this Hes 
 
 THE MANSION HOUSE, 
 
 the official residence of the Lord Mayor of London. It is one of the handsomest buildings, 
 as a residence, in the metropolis; built of stone, in 1739, at a cost of £71,000. The 
 princij)al room is called the " Egyptian HaU," and it is here that the great dimiers and 
 balls are given. 
 
 THE POST OEEICE, 
 
 in St. Martrn's-le-Grand, built from the designs of Sir Robert Smirke, R.A. (who is 
 said to have adopted one by Inigo Jones) between the years 1825 and 1829. It is a 
 noble pile — the facade elegant and stately, and the whole admirably adapted to the 
 enormous amount of business there transacted. At the back of this biiildiug stands 
 
 GOLDSMITHS HALL, 
 
 a magnificent stone structure, highly elaborated, worthy the riches of this great and 
 ancient Company. On Eish Street Hill is the celebrated 
 
 MONUMENT OF LONDON, 
 
 erected to conunemorate the Great Fire in 1666. From the top of this column a splendid 
 view is obtained of London and the adjacent country, for many mUes round, with the 
 smuosities of the Thames. An iron cage erected over the flaming corn, its crowning 
 ornament, effectually prevents the recurrence of those suicides which so shocked the 
 feehngs of the inhabitants a few years ago. The Monument is two hiuidrcd and two 
 feet lugh, and is ascended by three hundi'ed and forty-five steps. Admittance from 
 nine till dark, sixpence each. 
 
 THE HALL OF COMMERCE, 
 
 in Threadneedle Street, built on the site of the French Church, 1830, by the private 
 speculation of Mr. Edward Moxhay, is a splendid structm-e. Its principal room is a tnily 
 noble saloon. A fine Roman pavement (now in the British Museum) was discovered in 
 for digging the foiuidations. 
 
 GUILDHALL, 
 
 originally built in 1411 (12th Henry IV.), was greatly injured by the Fire of London; 
 the reparations are in barbarous taste; the new front was erected by Daun, the City 
 arcliitect, in 1789. The monuments of Chatham, Pitt, Nelson, Beckford, &c., are worthy 
 inspection. In the various Courts of Law and Common Council, &c., are seen interesting
 
 14 LONDON. 
 
 busts and pictures. It is in this Hall that the Lord Mayor gives his inauguration 
 dimicr on tlie 9th of November, after his grand procession by laud and water to and from 
 Westminster. Before quitting the City, we may mention Crosljy Hall, in Bishopsgate 
 Street, and many of the Halls of the City Companies, the South Sea House, and 
 particidarly the East Lidia House, in Leadenhall Street, as worthy of inspection. Many 
 other places demand attention, but their detail woidd fill a volume. On leaving the City, 
 we may first call attention to the New Htdl of Lincobi's Lin ; and a little to the north, 
 
 THE BRITISH MUSEUM, 
 
 the riches, the wonder of which siu-pass imagination — and wherein may be foiuid the 
 rarest antiquities from all parts of the world ; the most splendid library in the universe ; 
 the most wonderfid collection of fossils and of natxu-al history. A whole life passed 
 within its walls woidd not sufiice to learn even the catalogue of its contents. The 
 building itself is the handsomest and most classical in the metropolis. Passing onwards 
 to the West, the neighbom-hood of Charing Cross possesses the greatest attractions. 
 Here, in Ti'afalgar Square, stands 
 
 THE NATIONAL GALLERY. 
 
 It is not such a gallery of paintings as England should possess, but it contains many 
 noble works of the greatest masters, deserving a better shelter than the singularly 
 uugainly biulding whieh protects them from tlie weather. Nevertheless, Correggio, 
 Guido, Titian, Raphael, Sebastian del Raiiito, Michael Angelo, Leonardo da Vinci, 
 Caracci, Velasquez, Murillo, Claude, Rubens, Vandyke, &c. The building occupies 
 the whole north side of Trafalgar Square, and is bmlt on the site of the Old King's 
 Mews. The columns of the portico, the best part of the whole elevation, were taken 
 from Carlton House. The noble column to Nelson is the grand ornament of tliis Square, 
 which contciius also an equestrian statue to George IV., and two macliines, like dumb 
 waiters, yclejjt fountains. 
 
 THE ADMIRALTY, 
 
 a little fm-ther on, is a large square building, extending to St. James's Park. The screen 
 in front is from the design of the brothers Adams, the architects of the Adelphi. Beyond 
 this is 
 
 THE HORSE GUARDS, 
 
 a plain stone building, with an excellent clock (now it goes again), and a couple of stone 
 watch-boxes, wliich are tenanted diu'ing the day by two troopers of the Life or Horse 
 Guards, on horseback. Opposite to tliis biulding is 
 
 THE BANQUETING HOUSE, 
 
 at Whitehall. This is a noble piece of architeetiu-e, by Inigo Jones, and had it been 
 continued, woidd have proved a reaUy splendid palace, of whicli England ought to have 
 been justly proud. It was from a tirst-floor window of this building that Charles I. 
 stepped on to the scaffold, erected before it, and met his fate in that Cluistian and right 
 royal spirit which indicated, in spite of some kingly eri-oi's, the native dignity of his soul, 
 and the purity and sincerity ot his faith in the King of kings. The ceiling of the 
 Banqueting House was painted on canvas, by Rubens, abroad, in 1035, for wliicli he was 
 paid £3000, and represents the apotheosis of James I. Di\'uic service is performed in 
 the Banqueting Hall every Sunday. Nearly opposite to tliis magnificent building stands 
 
 THE TREASURY, 
 
 between Do^Tiiug Street and the Horse Guards. It is an old building with a new face, 
 from the designs of Barry, R.A. The fagade is handsome, and, coupled with the 
 magnitude of the building, has an imposing appearance. Every inch of the groiuid, as 
 we ajjproach the precincts of the venerable Abbey of Westminster, becomes more 
 interesting. Here,
 
 LONDON. 15 
 
 WESTMINSTER HALL, 
 
 the finest cliamber in the world, must strike the beholder with astonishmeut and respect 
 for the works of our ancestors, while the historical associations coimected Avith tliis vast 
 Hall must increase his feeUugs of veneration, iluch of the pristine dignity of the 
 grand saloon is however lost, from the flooring having been raised from time to time, 
 which, in a great measure, destroys its sjnnmetrical proportions. We need scarcely observe, 
 that the roof of Irish chestnut is esteemed a wonderfid piece of arcliitecture. Here are the 
 Law Coiu'ts, which, by the way, are neither grand nor over convenient. A statue of 
 Canning stands on the opposite side, in the gardens adjoining St. Margaret's Church. 
 
 THE HOUSES OE PARLIAMENT. 
 
 This s])leudid pile, though perhaps iuapju'opriate for the situation in wliich it is 
 placed, and the purpose for which it is intended, is, without doubt, the most s])lendid 
 bidlding in England. The style is highly-ornamented Gothic, and in tliis lies its great 
 fault ; for even now, ere the whole is completed, ])arts are so begrimed with London 
 soot and smoke as to render some of the beautiful aud elaborate ornaments ahnost 
 indistinct. Whilst referrmg to these ornaments, we cannot refrain from drawing attention 
 to the utter want of heraldic knowledge displayed in the coats-of-arms, supporters being- 
 given to the arms of all the kings, although they were never used before the time of 
 Richard III. We have referred to the front in the part of this article on River 
 Scenery. The north side, abutting on Westminster Bi'idge, contains the Speaker's 
 residence, and has, at its north-westei-n corner, the Clock Tower. It is forty feet square, 
 and when finished, will be three lumdi-ed and twenty feet high. At the south end are the 
 apartments of the Usher of the Black Rod and the Lords' Libraries. At the south-west 
 corner is the Victoria Tower, a most stupendous w(n"k, containing the royal entrance. 
 It is seventy-five feet squai'c, and wiU rise to the height of thi-ee huncb-ed and forty feet, 
 only sixty-four feet less than the height of the cross of St. Paul's. The entrance is by 
 an archway sixty-five feet high, aud is most beautifully and elaborately worked. Inside 
 are statues of St. George, St. Andi-ew, St. Patrick, and Her Majesty, supported by 
 figui'es emblematical of Justice and Mercy. It wiU be some years ere this tower is 
 finished, as, on account of its great height, the architect does not consider it safe to 
 proceed -with more than thirty feet each year. A great part of the west side is liid by 
 Westminster HaU and the Law Courts; that open to inspection is well worthy of 
 a minute examination, and when the new facade, which is to be substituted for that- of 
 the Law Courts, is erected the tout ensemble, will be most perfect. In the centre of the 
 building is the Grand Central Octagonal HaU, sixty feet square, with a tower rising 
 three hundred feet. 
 
 STATUES. 
 
 We have, no doubt, omitted to mention many public buildings of importance, but the 
 foregoing are the most prominent. Independently of the public monuments and columns to 
 which we have referred, we may cite the equestrian statue of Charles I., by Herbert Lc Sceiu', 
 pupil of John of Bologna, at Charing Cross ; and that of George III., at Pall Mall East ; 
 the Duke of York's Coliunn, in Waterloo Place ; the statue of James II., at the back of 
 the Banqueting HaU, WhitehaU ; of WiUiam Pitt, by Chautrey, in Hanover Scjuare ; 
 Charles James Eox, in Bloomsbury Square ; Francis, Duke of BecU'ord, by Westmacott, 
 in RusseU Square; William IV., in King WiUiam Street, London Bridge, and many 
 others in the various squares and pid)Uc places of London, too nimierous for insertion. 
 
 SQUARES. 
 
 The principal squares, for which elegant description of builcUng London is remarkable, 
 whUe Paris contains but one, La Place lloyale, seldom visited, and indeed scarcely 
 kuo%vn to EngUsh visitors, are Bedford, Belgiiive, Berkeley, Bloomsbm-y, Bryanston, 
 Brunswick, CavencUsh, Chester, Dorset, Eaton, Grosvcnor, Hanover, Maaclicstcr, Mon- 
 tague, Portmau, Tavistock, RusscU, St. James's, Eitzroy, and Einsbiiry; but there arc 
 many otlnfi-s of less importance.
 
 16 LONDON. 
 
 STREETS. 
 
 Of the streets, we shall merely observe that the principal for traffic aud coniiiierce 
 ai'e from "VSTiitechapel, tlu-oiigh Aldgate and Leadeuliall Streets to Graceclnu-ch Street, 
 \There it forms a junction Anth the end of Bishopsgate Street (which is a continuation of 
 Shoreditch), aud under the names of the Poidtry and Cheapside, is continued in a straiglit 
 line as far as St. Paul's, where there are two branches ; one tlu'ough Newgate Street, 
 Holbom, New Oxford Street and Oxford Street, to the north or Edgware Road side of Hyde 
 Park; and the other, rounding St. Paid's, by Ludgate Hill, Elect Street, the Strand, aud 
 by a slight turning to the right into Piccadilly, to Park Corner, and Knightsbridge, on 
 the south side of the Park. These two principal thoroughfares being parallel to each 
 other from their junction at St. Paul's, and as neai" as possible ecpu-distant from 
 Wliitechapel Gate, are about six miles in length, preseutuig an ahnost luiiuterrupted 
 display of elegant shops, tastefidly decorated, and teeming with the productions of 
 industry and art. We have named these great thorouglifares, because ot their extent ; 
 but dming all this immense distance, branching off or intersecting them are imiumerable 
 streets of nearly equal importance on both sides of tlie river, which it would require a 
 thick volume to enumerate. We shall therefore conclude by cb-awing the stranger's 
 attention to Regent Street, in the new part of the metropohs, which commences from 
 the noble flight of steps to which we have before adverted, imder the Duke of York's 
 Column, in St. James's Park, by Waterloo Place, and passing thi-ough Piccadilly, the 
 Quadi-ant, and Oxford Street, terminates by Portland Place, in the Regent's Park, which 
 is its northern limit. Almost all the houses in that portion of this magnificent hue, 
 called Regeut Street, are devoted to business ; the shops sm-passing in richness aU that 
 the mind could imagine. 
 
 Waterloo Place contains Club Houses and Insurance Offices. One word of the Club 
 Houses : It may vrith truth be affirmed, that these are mostly of palatial grandem- and 
 magnificence. The Conservative, in St. James's Street; Reform, Carlton, University, 
 Athensemii, United Senice, and the Army aud Navy in PaH Mjdl and St. James's 
 Square, are splendid mansions, wldle many others have a strong claun upon the 
 stranger's attention. 
 
 To the lovers of antiquity, we may pomt out St. John's Gate, ClerkeuweU, in an 
 out-of-the-way part of the metropohs, but ciuious, as the only one cxistmg of all the 
 gates of London. It formed the great south entrance to the Hospital or Priory of 
 St. John of Jerusalem, and was restored by pubhc subscription in 1816. A part of lh» 
 ancient priory still exists in the crypt of St. John's, ClerkeuweU. 
 
 PLACES OF PUBLIC AMUSEMENT. 
 
 Loudon and its environs possess twenty-two theatres ; the principal of wliicli are. 
 Her Majesty's Theatre, Haymarket, and Covent Garden, both for Italian opera ; Dnuy 
 Lane ; the Princess', in Oxford Street ; and Sadler's WeUs, for the legitimate drama of 
 tragedy and comedy ; the Haymarket, Lyceum, Strand, and Olympic, for comedy, farce, 
 aud melodi-ama ; the Adelphi, for nondescript pieces pecidiar to itself, but of singidar 
 attraction and popularity ; Astley's, over Westminster Bridge, for equestrian spectacles 
 and scenes in the ring; and the remainder consisting of the Yictoi'ia, Tottenham, or 
 Queen's, Maryleboue, Miss Kelly's, the City, the Grecian Saloon, &c., are for melodrama, 
 farce, aud nascellaneous pieces. 
 
 In the sunnner season the following gardens, in some of which, among other amuse- 
 ments, theatrical representations are ^iven, are open to the pubhc every evenuig, at the 
 moderate admission price of one sluUiug : Vauxhall, Cremorue, Royal Sui-rey Zoological. 
 The Zoological Gardens in the Regent's Park are open to the pubhc from nine in the 
 morning till sunset. Admission one shilling, except on ^Monday, when it is only sixpence. 
 In tliis Park arc also the Royal Botanical Gardens ; the Colosseiun, adimttance two 
 shillings; the Diorama, one shiUing; and the Cyclorama (the culnuicc of whicli is in 
 jUbanv Street), one shilling.
 
 LONDON. 17 
 
 Lidcpendently of ilic al)ove -named, wo may cite as one of the most interesting, useful, 
 and instructive exhibitions of London, the Polyteclmic Institution, 809, Regent Street, 
 where there is much to dcKght the eye of cliildhood, and improve the mind of the adult. 
 Admirable lectures are here delivered by eminent chemists and men of scientific 
 acquirements every day, after which dissohang views of the most interesting scenery 
 of the whole continent of Eui'ope arc graphically described, by one who seems well 
 acquainted with the localities, during the progress of Exhibition. The Adelaide Gallery, 
 at Charing Cross, has lately been re-opened as a place of amusement ; and Madame 
 Tussaud's wonderful Wax Work Exhibition, in Baker Street, must not be forgotten. To 
 the lovers of the arts, the British Artists' Institution, the Exhibition of Water-Colours, 
 and the School of Design at Somerset House, wdl afford much pleasure. 
 
 To the foregoing we may add, that in, and within an easy ride of Loudon, are the 
 following —

 18 LONDON TO EDINBURGH 
 
 Hontron antr BtrmtnsHam Hatlioas* 
 
 This important line of communication was commenced and completed under tlie 
 immediate suiierintendenee and direction of Robert Stephenson, one of the most 
 disting'uisliecl eng-ineers of the age, wliose eminent skill and talent displayed in this 
 gigantic underlaiving alone, without reference to the niunerous other pul^lic works 
 exeetded l)y him, are sufficient to perpetuate liis fame, and transmit his name with the 
 greatest lionour to posterity. 
 
 At the period when the London and Birmingham Railway was contemplated, the 
 oidy ex]ierience the public had gleaned of the system of locomotion, was that which they 
 derived from the exj)erimcnt of the Maneliester and Liverpool Unc, a distance of thirty 
 miles ; but its unquestionable success left no doubt on the public mind as to the 
 desirableness of extending the system ; and, after some opposition in Parliament, arising 
 from prejudice, the fear of innovations, as well as the natural aversion of landed 
 projirictors to any encroachment upon their estates. Acts were obtained, under which 
 the Company was incorporated, and enabled in the course of a few years to put Loudon 
 and the north-western coasts of England ^vithin a few hom-s commmucatiou of each other. 
 
 Althougli the first Act of Parliament for the construction of the London and 
 Birmingliam Railway received the royal assent on tlie 6th of May, 1833, the works were 
 not conunenced imtil the 21st of April, 1S31. Various portions of the line were opened 
 at different periods, commencing m 1837, and the whole was completed and opened for the 
 public service on the 17th of Septendjcr, 1838 — the distance of one hiuicked and tweh'c 
 miles having been achieved in little more than four years. In estimating the wondcrfid 
 celerity with which this first grand railway was executed, it must be borne in mind that 
 there is scarcely any portion of the line that is not either carried by embankments above 
 the general sm-face of the country, or much below it by means of excavations, that tliere 
 are about two hundi-ed and fifty In-idges, independently of the viaducts, the principal of 
 whicli are those over the Sowe, Cohi, Brent, the Regent's Canal, at Camden To\™, and 
 Lawley Street, Birmingham ; that there are also nine tunnels, and that each side of the 
 Line, througliout its wliole extent, is fenced with posts and rails, and planted with qiiick, 
 except where it was deemed expedient (as at the Camden depot, as far as the crossing of 
 the Edgeware Road), to resort to a fencino' of substantial brick-wall with stone copings ; 
 such protection bemg necessary in a crowded locality near the metropolis. Of the tuimels, 
 some of which are of great length, we cannot omit a slight description : 
 
 1. Primrose Hill Tunnel, wliich is entered at a depth of forty-five feet below the 
 snrface. It has an extremely handsome stone front, from the design of Mr. Budden, 
 then secretary of Mr. Stephenson ; it is upwards of eleven hundred yards in lengtli, and 
 about twenty-two feet in height and width ; ventdated by a sliaft fifty feet high before it 
 reaches the smnmit ; the whole of this extraordinary work is three bricks in thickness. 
 
 2. Kensal Green Tunnel. Three hundred and twenty yards in length, is similar in 
 its construction. 
 
 3. Watford Tunnel, the entrance to whieli is a nearly semicircular arcli, twenty- 
 five feet high, and twenty-four feet wide, with retaining walls on either side, extending 
 to the slopes of the cutting ; a blocking and cornice rims through the whole length of tlie 
 front, and tlic arch is surmounted by a pediment. This timnel is one thousand eight 
 hundred yards, or about one mile and a tcntli, in length. In consequence of the nature 
 of the chalk and loose gravel, this work was one of considerable difficulty, and was 
 attended -with a considerable loss of life during the sulking of one of the shafts — ten men 
 being biu-ied under the falling earth; and it was to tliis accident that the enormous 
 ventilating shaft, wliieli the traveller cannot fail to notice, owes its origin, as the work of 
 filling up tlie opeiung woidd have been more expensive, and less advantageous for the 
 ]HU"pose for which it was reqiured. 
 
 4. North Church Tunnel is situated at about the centre of the DudweU exca- 
 vation, beyond Berkhanipstead ; its length is a fifth of a mile. It has two handsome 
 stone fronts, and is of tlie same proportions as the Watford Tunnel. 
 
 5. LiNSLADE Tunnel, n(!ar Leighton Buzzard, is stated to be the only curved tunnel 
 on this line; it is two hundred and eighty-five yards in length. The south entrance 
 displays a rusticated stone front ; the face of the arch is battered, and is surmounted by 
 battlements forty feet high ; the side walls, termmathig with similar piers, being also in
 
 VLi BIRMINGHAM. 19 
 
 Hottlrott antr JStrmtttcjfiam i^atlUjaj), 
 
 the castellated style, aucl, coupled with the Ijold mamicr iu which the cutting beyond it is 
 executed, produces a very pictm-esque efiect. 
 
 7. Stowe Hill (or "Weedon) Tujjxel is torn- huncked and eighty-fom- yards m 
 length ; it is siinUar in its construction to the others ; but the entrances are again of 
 ditterent styles of architcctiu-e ; the south entrance, cousistmg of two piers, projecting 
 boldly from the side Avails with a cornice through the wholeleugth, wliile the north is 
 somewhat suuilar to that of the Linslade Tuimel, castellated, with a macldoalatcd parapet, 
 and the copmgs continued through its whole length, Avithout being broken into embra- 
 sures. The whole is most pleasing to the eye of the traveller, but he loses the beautiful 
 views of the country, wliich are so extensive' and diversified on the summit. 
 
 7. KiLSBY Tunnel (near the Crick station), umversally declared to be a mighty 
 effort of the engineer's skill and ingenmty, is about two thousand fom- huncked and 
 twenty-three yards long ; the brickwork, generally, twenty-seven inches thick, and the 
 whole built in Roman, or metallic cement. The'entrances to this truly gigantic work 
 are castellated, and smiilar in design, consisting of an immense towcr,"^ \nXh batteruig 
 sides, and a bold plinth ; the side, or wing walls, are thro-mi back, making the tower a 
 very prominent and conspicuous object, the etfcct of which is highly pleasmg. The large 
 ventilating shafts, one huncked and thirty -two feet deep, and sixty feet in "diameter, are 
 esteemed master-pieces of brickwork. "When the water broke into this shaft, the men 
 worked on rafts, which were floated into the excavation, a difficult and dangerous, but 
 perfectly successful operation. This tunnel cost £300,000, although the contractor's 
 origmal estimate was £99,000 ; but he gave up the contract, and theVork was executed 
 by the Company. 
 
 8. The Beechwood Tunnel, near Berkswell, is two hnndi-ed and niuety-two yards 
 iu length, aud has also a large ventilatiug shaft near the centre. The entrances are of 
 stone, Avith chamfered joints, radiating from the ai-eh, the face of which stands forth 
 prominently from the Anng walls. 
 
 Many of the cuttiuo;s on this Kne are scarcely inferior in point of the labour and 
 engmeeriiig skill they display to the tumiels, and as they are visible to the traveller, we 
 call his attention specially to those of BUsworth, Coventry (two miles aud three-quarters 
 long, and in some parts tifty feet high), and DudwcU. 
 
 Of the viaducts, the one which canies the railway across the Cohi YaUey, aud that 
 of Wolverton, are especially worthy of notice. The former is eisjht huuLked'aud twelve 
 feet long, and fifty feet high, aud when viewed from the meadows below, has a remarkably 
 lofty, yet light and elegant appearance. Wolverton viaduct stands near the centre of the 
 great embankment, one mile and a half long, and fortv-eight feet high, which crosses the 
 valley of the Ouse. Beneath the ^-iaduct, wliich is Ijuilt of a peculiar brick, flow the 
 rivers Ouse and Tow. It consists of six elliptical arches, each of sixty feet span, risuig 
 twenty feet ; the height to the soffit being forty-six feet. At each end are two massive 
 pilasters, with stone cornice and blockings, and beyond are three smaller arches, which 
 pierce the retaining walls, bidlt on the slope of the embankment, the cornice is continued 
 throughout the whole length of the viaduct, and is surmounted by a para])ct wall, the 
 top of which is fifty-seven feet from the siu'face of the ground ; the length of the viaduct 
 six huncked aud sixty feet, one-eighth of a mile, and the cost of its erection was £28,000. 
 It is a magnificent structui-e, and the elegance of its proportions, together with the 
 masterly manner in which the work is executed, reflect the highest credit upon both 
 architect and builders. 
 
 Of the vast amount of capital invested iu the grand project of the London and 
 Birmingham Railway, and the expenses incm-red in the various works to Mdiich we have 
 adverted, it is not my province to s]3eak, suffice it to say, that several miUions have been 
 sunk in bringiug this magnificent achievement to its present state of perfection, and that 
 the praises of the public are largely due to the distinguished engineer from whose 
 designs, and under whose superintendence, this colossal work was executed. To the 
 directors thanks are also due for their unwearied exertions, as well as to the origin;il 
 shareholders, who, whether from inotives of ])ccuuiary interest alone, or from nobler and 
 more patriotic views, entered with so much public si)irit hito a scheme which has been 
 attended with the most prosperous results to the country at large.

 LONDON TO EDINBURGH 
 
 EUSTON STATION. 
 
 The grand entrance to the London and Birmingham Railway, in Dmmmoud Street, 
 Enston Square, consists of a Doric ]iortico, similar to the propylea of tlic Greek cities, 
 and was erected by Messrs. Cubitt, after the design of Mr. Hardwiek, the celebrated 
 architect. It is said to be the largest portico in the world, but majestic and truly 
 elegant as are its proportions, it cannot be compared in point of grandeur with the " Arc 
 de Triomphe," at the Barriere de I'Etoile, at Paris. The diameter of each column is eight 
 feet six inches; their height, forty-two feet; the iutercolumniation, twenty-eight feet, 
 fonning the carriage entrance ; and the total height, to the apex of the pediment, seventy- 
 two feet. It is built of Brandey Fall stone, of which, in this erection alone, above 
 seventy -five thousand cubic feet were consumed; some of the blocks weighed tlurtcen 
 tons ; and, accordin? to the authority from which we derive tliis account of its proportions, 
 the building cost £35,000. 
 
 The grand entrance hall of the Euston Station is, perhaps, the most magnificent 
 saloon in Europe. It is about one hundred and forty feet in length by sixty broad, and 
 between seventy and eighty feet in height. The cast and west walls are plain, of a greyish 
 stone, and on three sides are snn-ounded by a light and elegant gallery, guarded by oronze 
 railings, about fifteen feet above the floor, on a level with the Board Room, which is 
 ascended l)y a noble flight of tliirty steps, surmounted by a range of double colmnns of 
 
 %zit of Eaitong from 3Lont(0n. 
 
 The lines from the Euston station, through Camden Town to Park Street, 
 are caiTied about nineteen feet beneath the street level, for upwards of two 
 thousand two hundred yards, which distance is intersected by seven bridges 
 and archways over the radway ; and from Park Street to the Regent's Canal, 
 at Camden Town, the rads are near the general suj-face of the ground. The 
 Camden depot, which is raised on an embankment of clay, the produce of the 
 Prinu'ose Hill tumiels and contiguous cuttings, occupies an area of twenty- 
 seven acres, and is situated between Chalk Fann and the Hampstead Road.

 Weald. It is famous for its public school, founded by a private gentleman, 
 John Lyon, of Preston, in 1571, the structure of wliieh, and the cha])el in 
 the Elizabethan style of architecture, are very handsome. Amongst the many 
 learned and distinguished men Avho received the rudiments of education at 
 this celebrated school, it will suffice to name the learned Dr. Parr, Sir 
 William Jones, Richard B. Sheridan, the Marcpiis of Hastings, Byron, and 
 the late tndy -lamented statesman, Sir Robert Peel. The village is ornamented 
 with many handsome houses, and the views on aU sides are beaut ifid ami

 beautifully polislicd red granite, ornamented with Doric capitals, tlie angles being (iuislied 
 with three ])ilasters of tiie same nuitcrial on eitlicr side. In the centre over tlie door 
 leading into the Board Room, is a fine group of figures representing Britannia cultivating 
 commerce and the arts. On the opposite, or south side of the hall, rising from the 
 gaUery, is another range of colunnis jtrecisely similar to the before-mentioned, except that 
 instead of being double, they are backed by pilasters, in the centre of which is a clock. 
 At the height of about fifty feet from the floor, are ranges of windows, and on a line with 
 them in the angles of the building are allegorical figures in bold relief, representing the 
 comities traversed by the several railways, of wliich this splendid station is the terminus. 
 The higlily-ornamcntcd roof, cornices, &c., are in strict keeping with the other parts of 
 this majestic hall. On the east and west side are sixteen double doors, leading to the 
 various offices and waiting-rooms of the establishment. The saloon, which is used also 
 as a refreshment room, having an elegant counter, supplied with every delicacy, in the 
 centre, is lighted at night by about fifty gas globes, tastefidly arranged on light bronze 
 standards, fixed in the raUings of the gallery, two above, and two below the galleiy, at 
 given distances. Li our account of this saloon, we have no intention of comparing it 
 with Westminster Hall, which stands alone in all Europe, but we know no other cliamber 
 which presents so truly magnificent and imposing an appearance. On the right and left 
 are the great Ijooking-otFices, the former for the Liverpool line, the latter for the Midland 
 Railway. These rooms alone are of sufficient grandeur and magnificence to excite the 
 admiration of the traveller ; but they almost sink into insignificance when compared with 
 the gigantic proportions of the grand saloon.

 5 m. N.E. Altliorp, the seat of Earl Spencer. The house is a large pile of 
 building, occupying three sides of a quacbangle. It stands low ; and in the 
 approach you go through and across tliose straight avenues of trees whicli, 
 at one time, by a strange perverseness or deficiency of taste, were considered 
 the line of beauty. The present edifice was built by the Earl of Sunderland, 
 in the year IGSS, and the estate has belonged to the Spencers ever since 
 the reign of Henry YII. 
 
 It is remarked of Altliorp House, by Dr. Dibdin : " There is neither 
 colonnade nor vestibide, nor terrace, nor fountain, nor lake, as you 
 approach the mansion ; nor studied grandem- of arcliitectm-al decoration as 
 you enter it ; but comfort, order, peace, unanimity, good management, 
 choice society and splendid order. Gobelin tapestries, gilt balustrades, and 
 all the pomp and ciiTiunstance of elaborate and ovenvhehning fiu'iiiture." 
 
 With aU due deference to the learned Doctor, we woidd ventm-e to 
 remark, that the inference implied in the last instance is anytldng Init 
 legitimate. Althorp, with its magnificent library and splendid collection of 
 pictiu'es, may well dispense with the adventitious and luxiu-ious embelHsli- 
 inents referred to ; but for the life of us we cannot see that " silken 
 hangings" are inconsistent -oath " comfort ;" how " Gobelin tapestry," shou'd 
 be intolerant of "order and peace;" and why "good management" should 
 be mterdicted by the "pomp and cii-cumstance of elaborate fiuTutui-e !"

 particular mill of their lord, and their meal at another, so late as the year 
 1758, when they obtained a decision at the Leicester assizes empowering 
 them to erect mills, and to grind where they pleased. The to\vn is situated 
 on the Swift, a tributary of the Avon, and has a handsome cliurch, contaiuing 
 a part of the pidjnt and a portrait of the Beformer, AVicklifl'e, who \\"as its 
 Bector, and who died in the year 1387, and was interred in the church ; but 
 iu the year 1120, his bones were disiuterred by a mandate from the Pope,

 CovENTiiY, county of Wai'nick, on the Shei'bourn, an afilux of the 
 Avon, one of the most ancient and curiously picturesque cities in England, 
 is a county within itself, and a municipal and parliamentary borough, 
 returning two members to Parliament. Area of the city, 4,920 a ; population, 
 30,743. Many of the houses in this city are of the Isth ccntm-y, and have 
 projecting upper stories; and the cross beams, which appear externally, 
 being fretiuently painted black, contrast strangely with the white-wash of 
 the body of the biuldings. In those which have received coatings of 
 plaster, or have othennse been externally modernized, the antiquary -will 
 tind little interior desecration, for there the carved work, denoting tlie 
 prosperity of the o\A'ners in the days of the Plantageuets, is still abundant. 
 Xo city in the empire contains more monuments of interest to the antiqua- 
 rian. Indei)endently of these curiosities, Coventry possesses some line public 
 buildings, amongst which, a noble Gothic stnicture, St. Michael's ChuiTh, is 
 surmounted by one of the most elegant spii'cs in Europe, 303 feet high. 
 St. MaiT's Hail, belonging to the corporation. At the time of Edward the 
 Confessor, the city received its first charter from Earl Leofric, at the instance 
 of his wife, the Lady Godiva, to commemorate which well-known story an 
 annual festival takes place. Two parliaments were held here in the 15th 
 centiu-y. The remains of its ancient walls of circmnvaUation, Eheylesmore 
 Castle, a monastery of Wliite Eriars, and its once celebrated catheckal and 
 episcopal palace, are all traceable. It was a bishopric viith. Lichfield 
 until 1830, when it was transferred to the see of Worcester. Markets,

 BiRjriXGnA:\r, county of "Warwick, a very ancient to\™, which is supposed 
 to have been tlic sjjot where arms were manufactured in the time of the 
 ancient Britons, is one of tlie principal and most imjiortant manufacturing 
 towns in England. The details rcsj)ecting the size of this great focus of 
 industry, are curiously interesting, but too Aoluminous for the nature of 
 this work. It is a parliamentary and numicipal borougli, the area of Avhich, 
 including the townships of Aston, Edgl)aston, and other ])laccs adjacent, 
 is IS, 700 A., and the population, 182,922, although only a century and a half 
 jigo it did not exceed 4,000. It is situated on the river Rea, and the lower 
 part of the town presents notliing to the eye of the traveller but a mass of 
 brick faetorics and gigantic chinnieys, ahuost as lofty as the chiu'ch spires 
 with which they are intermixed. In the ujjper portion of the town, which 
 is built on rising gromid, are many broad streets, handsome edifices, and 
 noble pubHc buildings, which do honour to the taste of the iuliabitants, of 
 which we may cite particularly the Town Hall, St. George's and St. Philip's 
 Cluu'ches, Queen's College, the grammar school founded by Edward VI., and 
 the theatre. The town JiaU, which is fronted with marble, is certainly one 
 of the grandest edifices in the kingdom; its saloon is 145 feet in length, 05 feet 
 broad, and 65 feet high, and is capable of holding conveniently 4,000 persons 
 seated, or double that number standing. It is here that the great musical 
 festivals are held, and it is said that the orgau is remarkable both for size and 
 tone. All these puliHc buildings we have enumerated, with the exception of 
 some of the churches, are of modern erection, and mark the superior taste of

 Tliis important line throughout the whole of the distance alternates in cuttings and 
 embankments, and there are no less than one lumdi'ed and six bridges over, and sixty- 
 three under the Hue, independently of seventeen level crossings. The Birmingham 
 Viaduct is the most important and stupendous work, challenging comparison with ahnost 
 any of ancient or modern art. It is built of brick, with stone groins and ckessings, from 
 the design of Mr. Locke, a very eminent engin^ei', and consists of twenty-eight segmental 
 arches of iijiwards of thii-ty feet span, twenty feet high, and thirty-two feet wide, the 
 length extending to about one thousand feet, the whole built on a curve of three-cpiarters 
 of a mile radius. The next object of beauty coimeeted with the labours of the company 
 which win occupy the traveller's attention, is the Aston Viaduct, one of the great 
 ornaments of this line, wliich, ^dth the emlxmkment and the general aspect of the coiuitry 
 of this locality, presents the most Ijcautifid and ])ictiu-esnue scenery, heightened by the 
 presence of a reservoir- or inland lake, aiul a belt of noble elms, from wliich emerges 
 the elegant spu-e of Aston church. ProccecUng onwards, the traveller passes tlu'ough the 
 Newton Excavation, wluch is sometimes eighty feet below the sm-face of the o])eu 
 country, and a splendid view opens to him at Penkridge, where the river accompanies the 
 line for a considerable distance. The Whitmore statiie, wliich stands three hundi-ed and 
 ninety feet above low-water mark at Liverpool, cannot fail to excite interest, the abrupt 
 cuttings in this locality producing a most romantic appearance. 
 
 Vale Royal Viaduct, which crosses the Weever, is a niagniiicent structure of five 
 arches of sixty-tlu-ee feet sj)an each, twenty feet high. It is im])ossible to imagine 
 anything more lo\cly than tlic view from this noble bi'idge over the flowering meadows 
 beneath, watered by tlie clear and sparkling stream of the Weever, as it glides through 
 this enchanting valley, bounded on the A\'cst liy Dehunere Forest, and surmounted by 
 distant heights covered with venerable woods. The bridge near the Hartford Station is 
 a structure of great elegance, and forms a i)ieturesque ol)ject on this line. The Duttou 
 Viaduct over the Weever is a stu])endous work of art, consisting of twenty arches, each 
 of sixty feet span, and an equal luught from the level of the water, crossing the entire 
 valley of the Weever, a distance of nearly eighteen humlred feet. The arches arc 
 cycloidal in their slia])e, and ihc ])iers, light antl tapering, arc, with the facing of the

 which tliere is a very ancient and ciuious monument, dates from tlie Sth 
 centiuT. It is now divided into foiu- — St. INIartiu, St. Pliilip, St. George 
 and St. Thomas, all of which are now (since 1830) included in the see'^of 
 AA'orcester. Independently of these ecclesiastical buildings, there are chapels 
 for every denomination of rebgious sectarian, hospitals, dispensaries, 
 Athenreum, market-house, barracks, society of arts, mechanics' institution, 
 and in fact every description of institution similar to that of the ractropobs, 
 l)ut of a number and size commensurate M'ith the popidation, together with 
 pulibc gardens and places of anmsemeut. Its manufactures comprise every 
 description of metal wares, and ])lated and japanned goods, steam-engines 
 and machinery ; indeed it would be iliiScult to name^ an article made by 
 men's handicraft that is not here produced in perfection. It owes its great 
 pros]5crity to the mines of coal and iron by which it is sim-omided, and the 
 canals conmumicatiug \A-ith the Thames, Severn, Mei'sey, Hiunber, &c., as 
 well as the railways, of Mhicli its station forms a general point of jimction

 bridge, of nisticatcd stone, the M'hole length being ornamented by a beautiful cornice and 
 a stone coping. It is miiversaUy ackno\\-ledged that this magnificent structiu-e is one of the 
 most extraordinary specimens of the arcliitectural art ever cbsjilaycd since tlie davs of 
 the Romans. It cost upwards of £60,000, and took three years in its constnietion."^ We 
 have not space to enlarge upon the scenic beauties of tliis locality, indeed they ahnost as 
 much sui^iass description as they certainly do all other spots, however lovely and 
 enchanting, along the coiu'se of tliis line ; and the •n'ildest imagination of the poet could 
 scarcely exaggerate the beautifully fair and abnost fairy vision which biu'sts upon the 
 traveller as he emerges from Button Wood into this peaceful valley. Not far fi-om this 
 noble viaduct is the Preston Brook Cutting of one ndle and a quarter, \nth a tuimel of 
 about one himiked yards in length, over which passes the Northauk and Runcorn 
 turnpike road. At the end of this cutting is Preston Brook Station, which bes exactly 
 2.5 miles from Liverjjool, and 72i from 13inuingham; and beside the line for some miles 
 runs the Trent and Mersey Canal, which, near the station, forms a junction with the 
 Bridgewater Canal, and by its traffic, adds unportance to the busy bttle village of Preston 
 Brook. Beyond this station the most important object is the Warrington Vraduct, which 
 is inferior only to that mIucIi spans the vaUey of the Weever. This noble bridge consists 
 of twelve arches of ditferent cbmensions, as well as piu-poses, two magnificent arches, each 
 of seveuty-tive feet span, cross the broad stream of the Mersey, one of forty feet stretches 
 across the canal, and the remaining land arches ; three in the centre between the river 
 and the canal ; and three on each side complete tliis elegant structure. It is tlm-ty feet 
 above the river at low-water mark, and nineteen feet above the level of the canal. The 
 Warrington Station, with its splendid embankment, and beautiful bridge across the 
 Mersey, is well worthy of attention ; the station itself is one of great importance. From 
 the Wmwick Station the train reaches the Ne\rton Junction, where the Manchester and 
 Liverpool Railway (which turns off to the right for the fonner toMii), receives the Grand 
 Junction Luie, and here the train proceeds on to the Sandymain Embankment, which is 
 planted on either side with firs and slu-ubs, giving it the aitpearance of an ajjproach to some 
 noble mansion, wlule the various openings in the trees clisplay the beauties of the fertile 
 country it tra\ erses. On the left is the "tui-npikc road to Wig;iu, skii-tiiig Haydock Park

 and the small town of Newton ; ou the right Wi'nwick Chnrch, its tapering spii'C, and 
 the kfty hills of Staifordsliiro in the distance. At the Newton Bridge Station, where 
 the train stops for a few minutes, is an excellent hotel on the right, and ou the left the 
 Comity Club Boom, a handsome elevation, with Doric pillars and a terrace walk. At 
 this part of the liue the embankment is forty feet above the level of the road, and contains 
 a handsome viaduct of foiu- arches, each of thirty feet span, whicli crosses the valley 
 below, and the road from Newton to '\A'arriugton — tliis is a remarkably pictiuTsque spot. 
 At a distance of half a mile is Park Side Station, memorable as the place where that 
 enlighteued statesman, ^Ir. Huskisson, met liis untunely fate. Ou the left is the Wigau 
 Junction, or, as it was fonnerly called. The North Union Bailway, between Park Side 
 and Preston, a distance of little more than 22 miles. 
 
 On account of the rugged uatiu-e of the country, the eartli-works on this short Hue 
 were of a very heavy nature, the largest embankment being at Wigan, the centre of the 
 three prbicipal stations. The bridges are twenty-eight over, and twenty-one under the 
 railway, thii'teen level road, and thii'tv-eight level iield crossings. The bridge carrying 
 the railway over "Walgate, AMgau, is iorty-sL\ feet in length, and tlurty-six feet in \ndth, 
 and is built on the level-beam principle; tlie ii"ou beams or gii'dcrs being supported 
 intennediately by two rows of cast-iron tinted Doric coliumis, six ou each side, which 
 separate the footway from the carriageway. The greatest architect lu-al work on this 
 line is the bridge over the river Bibble, cliiefly constiiicted of miUstone-grit, from 
 Lougridge. It consists of five semi-eUiptical arches, each of one hundred and twenty feet 
 span, and rising thirty-three feet. The piers are twenty feet each in thickness, and the 
 height from the surface of the water to the level of the rails, fom-ty-fom- feet. ^Tieu 
 this magniiiccnt bridge is viewed from the river or its banks, it presents an extremely 
 bold appearance. The only tuimel upon this line is a short and curved oue, seventy-seven 
 yards in length under Fishcrgate, Preston, near the junction with the Lancaster and 
 Preston Railway. It is constructed of brick and stone, the arch of scmi-eUiptical form, 
 and thirty feet m span. The Preston Station is approached from Fishergate by a carriage- 
 road and footway of ample widtli, with sutficient space for road can-iages in waiting. It 
 is a ])laiu building, but the offices of the Company are convenient and commodious.

 It was well observed of that portion of this line whieh was first opened under the 
 title of tlie Lancaster and Preston Railwa^y, that it formed a direct and easy link in one 
 of the great chains of railway communication between the metropolis and Scotland. Its 
 course "between the Preston' and Lancaster termini is very direct, crossing the Preston 
 turnpike-road near Barton Lodge, and passing between Garstang and Cleughton HaU, 
 by Galgate and Scotforth, to Lancaster, the distance between the above-named 
 important towns ])cing slightly under 21 miles. 
 
 On this short line there are forty-eight Inidges and viaducts, none of which however 
 require any special notice, except the bridge \v\nch. crosses the Wyne, and the Galgate 
 Viaduct. ' The former consists of six seini-ellijjtical arches, eacti of thirty feet span, 
 and two himdi-ed and sixty-two feet in length ; and the latter of the same number of 
 senri-circular arches, the height of the viaduct from the level of the land l)eing forty feet, 
 and its whole length two hundred and sLxty-five. Both these viaducts are bruit of brick, 
 and faced \\'itli sandstone. The Lancaster Station occupies an area of about six acres, and 
 is situated at the divergence of the Preston and Cockerham roads. The elevation is 
 neat, and the offices commodious. After leaving Lancaster, the railway is carried over 
 the river Lune by a handsome viaduct of nine arches — six of stone, and three of wood. 
 Another viaduct of six arches, each of fifty feet span, crosses the river ]\Iint near the 
 Kendal Junction. 
 
 The embankments and cuttings in the solid granite rock near Tebay and Orton Street 
 vary in de])th from fifty to sixty feet. The viaduct which crosses the river Eamont, near 
 Pem-ith, consists of five arches, each of fifty feet span, and seventy feet in height from 
 the siu-face of the water, and has a very imposing appearance in the landscape. There 
 are no other remarkable features on this line in reference to the vmdertaking itself, Init 
 the coimtry it traverses is proverbial for the beauty of the scenery, its moiuitains, sea 
 views, lakes, rivers, picturesque valleys and glens, all of which will be described in their 
 several localities.

 is situated in a beautiful aud fertile valley, from whence springs the source 
 of the river Sow, wliich wends its sileut course close to, and parallel with 
 the railway for many miles tlu'ough the county of Stafford, and falls into 
 the Trent below Shugborough. The mansion is encompassed with magni- 
 ficent oak and other timber, and the grounds are tastefully laid out. In 
 fact, Natui-e has been the principal artist in this home domain, from the 
 graceful imdidations of the surromiding ground, which, with the happy 
 position of the " Had," the wood-walks and lakes, combine to give a 
 pleasing diversity to the scenery, and (though small compared with the 
 noble possessions in its immediate neighbourhood) claim for it its fidl share 
 of general attraction.

 1 m. w. Yale Eoyal, the tnily magnificent seat of Lord Delamere. This 
 is the site of an ancient monastery, whicli owed its origin to the piety of 
 Edward, eldest son of Henry III. Tradition asserts that the Prince, on his 
 retm-n from an expedition to the Holy Land, was on the point of suft'ering 
 shipwreck in a dreadful storm, when he made a vow to the Virgin, that if she 
 interposed her aid for the preservation of liimself and crew, he would foimd 
 a convent for one hundred monks of the Cistercian Order. The vow, conti- 
 nues the clu-onicle of Yale Royal, was instantaneously accepted ; the vessel 
 righted itself, and was mii-aculously brought into port ; the sailors disem- 
 barked, and the Prince landed last of aU ; the Di\'ine protection then 
 tenninated, and every fragment of the wreck vanished under the waters. 
 Without further reference to tliis traditionary su])erstitious tale, certain it 
 is that Edward, shortly after his accession to the tlu-one, planted a colony of 
 the DeiTihall monks at Yale Royal, and liimseK laid the first stone of the 
 monastery. At the desolation of the monasteries, Yale Royal shared tlie 
 fate of the other rehgious houses. The present mansion is built of red 
 stone, and consists of a centre, ■n'ith two projecting wings. Some portion, 
 however, of the old Abbey may yet be traced. 1 m. x.w. Cuddixgton.

 chased by the late John Hodgson, Esq., M.P. for Wigau, of Ellerbert 
 House, and is now occupied by his nephew and heir, Richard Cardwell, Esq. 
 Chisnall Hall, Coppull, now a farm-house, was held in the tune of Charles I. 
 by Edward Chisnall, Esq. This was the residence of the Chisnalls, the 
 representative of which famUy, Colonel Edward Chisnall, fought under the 
 command of the Earl of Derby in the great Civil War, and was one of the 
 defenders of Lathom House, when Charlotte Tremouille, Countess of Derby, 
 held it out so strongly against the Romidheads. Wrightinton HaU, the

 of borough, 2,650 a. ; population, 50,332. It sends two members to 
 Parliament. Registered electors (1848), 3,046. Preston is supposed to 
 have been built on the site of Rebchester, the ancient Regigonium, and 
 derived the name of Preston from the niunber of religious houses it formerly 
 possessed, vestiges of which are now traceable. The town is well-built, 
 consisting principally of a broad main street, a. large market-place, and good 
 pubUc walks. It is well-drained and lighted. Its public buildings consist 
 of exchange, town hall, coui-t house, theatre, assembly rooms, county gaol, 
 custom house, county infirmary, almshouses, house of recovery, and nume- 
 rous places of worsliip. Its educational establishments comprise a grammar, 
 blue-coat, national, and other schools. It has also a Provident Society, 
 savings' bank, workhouse, and tlu-ee public libraries, a museum, an agricul- 
 tural society, and an institution for diffusing useful knowledge, with a 
 considerable library. The population is employed in linen weaving and 
 cotton spinning ; and in 1838 the borough possessed thirty-five cotton and 
 six flax miUs, tamieries, ii-on works, fisheries in the Ribble, &c. Registered 
 shipping, 8,205 tons ; customs' revenue (1848), £83,960. Preston commu-

 Prom Lancaster, about 4i m. w. Heysham, situated on a peuiusuki 
 between the Bay of Morecombe and the mouth of the Lune. On the hdl 
 neai" the chiu'ch are the remaius of an ancient oratoi-y, dedicated to St. 
 Patrick. In the chm-chyard are several ciuious excavations in the solid 
 rock, resembling the sliape of the human body. 2 m. s. is Middleton. 
 That portion of the county of Lancaster, west of Morecomb Bay, is called 
 Furness. It extends twenty-eight miles from north to south, by thirteen 
 from east to west, and has the county of Northumberland for its northern 
 boundary ; whilst that of Westmoreland sku'ts it to the north and east, and 
 the irregular outline of its southern side is washed by the Irish Sea. This 
 district consists of an iiTcgidar and romantic mixture of high craggy hiUs, 
 narrow vales, lakes, rivers, and brooks ; and on the Cmnberland border are 
 some mountains of a wild, lofty, and ornamental character. The southern 
 extremity, which projects into the sea, and is called Lower Furness, to 
 distinguish it from the northern part, called High Fiu-ness, contains a 
 considei'able tract of level fertile laud, fronted by the siugular, bow-shaped 
 Isle of Walney, wliich is of the same nature. Besides the mainland, it 
 comprehends the islands of Foidney and Walney, Boe, Sheep Pile, Old

 members to Parliament. Registered electors (ISiS), 1,313. It is a poUing- 
 place, and a place of election for the north division of the coiuity. 
 Lancaster owes its early importance to its castle, formerly a strong fortress 
 of Norman origin, although the gateway and other portions were erected in 
 the 14th centiu-y, by John of Gaunt. It stands on an eminence, and 
 coutauis the county courts, gaol, and penitentiary, which are of modem 
 date. The parish chiu'ch, on the same eminence, is a spacious structm-e, 
 with a handsome tower, and the interior contains many ancient monuments, 
 &c., worthy of attention. The noble aqueduct of Rennie's constmction, 
 wliich carries the canal across the river, and the stone bridge of five equal 
 arches, erected by the county at a cost of £12,000, are fin e specimens of 
 architectiu'al taste and science. The town itself is well-built, and the 
 houses generally of stone, but the streets are narrow. Lancaster has a 
 grammar, national, and other schools, very ancient abnshouses, a tovkm hall, 
 ornamented -with a handsome portico, custom-house, market-house, county 
 lunatic asylum, theatre, assembly rooms, mechanics' institute, and one for 
 promoting the fine arts. Its manufactures consist of cotton, siUc, Kneu, 
 fumitiu-e, sail-cloth, most of which is exported. Its coasting trade increases, 
 but the foreign trade is now almost monopolized by Liverpool. Although the 
 navigation will be improved by the works now going on and deepening the 
 river, the sands olfer considerable impediments to large ships, wliich cannot 
 approach the town within a distance of six miles. Registered shipping 
 in 1847, 5,989 tons ; customs' duties at the same period, £30,774 ; 
 corporate revenue, £2,649. Market, Wednesday and Saturday.

 BoRROWBRiDGE. About One hundred yards south of which, near the 
 confluence of the river Lime, is a Roman bm-gh, or fortified camp, at present 
 called Castlehows. It imquestionably gives name to the stream that washes 
 it, and which, in ancient records, is ATitten "Burrough Beche." This 
 encampment is 135 yards long, and 104 yards broad ; has been surroimded 
 by a wall nine feet thick. On the nortli it has a fosse, with a vaUuin of 
 earth on its south side. It occupies a strong position in the pass tlu'ough 
 the moimtains, between the baronies of Kendal and Westmoreland. 
 
 On this side the road the greater part of the comitry consists of what we 
 may safely caU mountains. A:nong these we have Wastlake Fells, Wasdale 
 Pike, Harrow Pike, Highliouse Fell, and Banesdale Fell ; in fact, with the 
 exception of a tolerable tract of level gromid on the eastern side of the 
 comity, the rest may be said to consist wholly of hiU and dale. It contaias 
 but few mansions of any importance. The farm-houses are seated about 
 the bases of the liiUs, with small, irregular fields spreading up the sides of 
 the mountains, and almost universally divided by stone walls. This last 
 circumstance gives the country a naked appearance, but the numerous 
 tracts of woodland iaterspersed tend to enliven the scene. Every dell or 
 hollow has its little brook, and the smallest of these arc plentifully supplied 
 with fish — of these the most important is the Lune, tlu'ongh the valley of 
 which the line has passed from Low GiU to Tebay Station. 
 
 Shap, county of Westmoreland. Ai-ea of parish, 27,000 a. ; population, 
 995. Shap is a long and straggling village ; has a weekly market on Monday, 
 and a fair May 4th. Its church was built shortly after the Conquest, but 
 has undergone many repairs and modern alterations, which have not, how- 
 ever, entirely destroyed its original character. In the vicinity are the 
 remains of a Druidical temple, and at a distance of about one mile, stand 
 the venerable ruins of Shap Abbey. The tower and various portions of the 
 abbey church, composed of a very dm-able white freestone, stiU remain ; 
 and the foundations of cloisters, and other conventual buildings, are 
 traceable for a considerable distance around. The Hoggerd or Hogarth 
 family, from whom the celebrated painter of that name derived, were 
 tenants of the abbey at the dissolution of monastic institutions, and some of 
 their descendants stiU reside in the neighbourhood. 
 
 5 m. w Haweswater, one of the lakes of "Westmoreland, three miles long, 
 half-mile broad, the property of the Earl of Westmoreland. Here are many 
 pretty and romantic \aews, wliich well repay the trouble of visiting it. 
 About 1 m. from the head of the water is Thornwaite Hall. 
 
 3 m. N.w. Bampton, a small village on the river Lowther. Bampton 
 Park. 6 m. further to UUeswater. This lake, wliich has been com- 
 pared with the Swiss Lucerne, is nine miles in length, by three-quarters 
 broad, and is divided into three reaches : the first reach, commencing 
 at the foot, is terminated at the left by Shellen Fell, which stretches 
 forward to a promontoi-y on the opposite side, called Shelley Neb ; the 
 middle and longest reach is closed in by Bern Fell on the left, and on 
 the right by Styborough Crag; the highest reach is the smallest and 
 narrowest, but the grandeur- and beauty which surround it are beyond the 
 liveliest imagination to depict. Four or five diminutive islands dimple 
 the sm-face, contrasting strangely with the vastness of tlie hills which tower 
 above them, whilst Styborough Crag on one side, Burke Fell and Place 
 Fell on the other, bind the view of this earthly paracUse. In the neigh- 
 bomliood, on the north-west shore, are Gowbarrow, Henry Howard, Esq. ;

 nearly surrounded by the river Eden, which is crossed by an old stone 
 bridge, leading to that part of the parish caUed Bendgate, where is a 
 fine old castle. Appleby Castle, said to have been in existence at the period 
 of the Conquest, was rebuilt shortly after that period ; it suffered greatly 
 duiing the ci\Tl wars of the 17th centm-y, when it was fortified for King 
 Charles I. by the Lady Amie Clifford, and 'held out imder the government 
 of Sir Philip Musgrave against the parliamentary forces, untU after the 
 battle of Marston Moor. The principal portions of the present fabric were 
 reconstructed from the ruins of the old castle, by Thomas, Earl of Thanet 
 (to whom the property devolved by iidieritance from the CUffords), in 1806. 
 CsBsar's Tower, as it is caUed, although most probaljly of Norman origin, is 
 almost the oidy portion of the old fabric wliich is iti its original state. The 
 castle contains some noble apartments, adorned with fine pamtings and a 
 splendid collection of family portraits. The armour worn by George 
 Clifford, in the tUtyard, as Champion to Queen EUzabeth, ornamented with 
 fleur-de-lis and richly gUt, is here preserved. This fine castle is stUl the 
 property of the noble famUy of Tufton, Earl of Thanet.

 and ornamental bridges ; they are much eidivened by a branch of the river 
 Eamont that flows near the castle walls, and has been made to contribute to 
 the beauty of the scenery, by being collected in reservoirs, and caused to

 modem house. The original castle, which was built by the Nor- 
 mans, was demolished by the Scotch in 1412. It was rebuilt, and King 
 James I. was entertained there in 1617 ; it sustained much damage during 
 the parliamentary war, was restored in 1651, but has agaui faUeu into 
 decay. The ruins, which are extensive, are pleasingly situated on a woody emi- 
 nence at the confluence of two streams. On the side next the river there 
 still remains the old Nonnan tower, built about 1080. The shattered 
 turrets which form the angles, and the hangmg galleries, are overgrown 
 with shiiibs. The lower apartment in the principal tower was a square of 
 twenty feet, covered with a vaulted roof of stone, consisting of light and 
 excellent workmanship. The groins were ornamented with various gi-otesque 
 heads, and supported in the centre with an octagon pillar, about four 
 feet in circiunference. AH that may now be seen of this centre Norman 
 pillar is four stones, six inches tliick, octagonal, and even these are no 
 longer in the tower, ])ut lying about in the court-yard. When this groined 
 room existed, it must have been either the hall or kitchen, from the great 
 size of the circular-topped windows, and of the fire-l:)lace flue, that still 
 remains, although all traces of the chimney-piece are gone. 
 
 Penrith, a market-town and parish, county of Cumberland. Ai-ea of 
 parish, including part of Inglewood Forest, 6,640 a.: population, 6,429. 
 The town, although ii-regularly built, contains many well-built houses, and is 
 beautifully situated in the vale of the Eamout and Lowther. The church is 
 a large plain stnictm-e of red stone, rebuilt in the 18th century; and in the 
 chm-chyard is that curious monument of antiquity, the " Giants' Grave," 
 upon the origin of which antiquarians have differed so much. It consists of 
 two stone pillars, eleven feet six inches high, and five feet in circumference 
 at the bottom, situated at each end of the grave, fifteen feet apai't. The 
 chief public buildings and institutions are the grammar school, founded by 
 Queen Elizabeth, the county coui't house, house of correction, assembly 
 room, library, and union workhouse. Here are also the remains of a castle, 
 built in the 1.5th centm-y, inhabited by Richard HI. when Duke of Glou- 
 cester, and demoUshed by order of the Conunonwealth. In the neighboui-hood 
 of Pem-ith are many interesting remains of castles, &c., and the scenery is 
 strikingly pictui-esque. To the north of Penrith, on an eminence, stands a 
 square stone building, called the Beacon, from which the most delightful and 
 extensive views are presented to the eye, comprising the highest mountains 
 and the most beautiful vale scenery in England. 3 m. e. Eden Hall, Sir G. 
 Musgrove, Bart. At Eden Hall is preserved an old drinking-glass, called 
 " The Luck of Eden Hall." It is traditionally said to have been taken from 
 a party of fairies who were sporting near a spring in the garden, called St. 
 Cuthbert's Well ; and they observed, after an inefficient struggle to recover it, 
 
 " If that dass should break or fall, 
 Farewell the luck of Eden Hall."

 Edward I. held his coiui here, while engaged in an expedition against the 
 Scots, before it was burnt by Robert Brace, temp. Edward H. It was again 
 fortified in the foUowiiig reign ; and in the year 1400 Bishop Strickland 
 rebuilt one of the principal towers, and abnost every succeeding bishop has 
 contributed, in a more or less degree, towards restoring it to its former 
 beauty. About 3 m. fm-ther, Crofton HaU, Sir WasteU Brisco, Bart.

 place. The cathedi-al stands on high ground, has a lofty tower and a beau- 
 tiful east window . Its nave suffered great dilapidations during the civil 
 wars of the 17th century. It now serves for the parish church of St. Mary.

 it has not been distinguished by any events of historical importance. About 
 3 m. s. of Kirk Oswald are some ciuious relics of antiquity, called Long 
 Meg and her Daughters ; they consist of a cii'cle 350 yards in circumference, 
 formed of 67 stones, called the Daughters ; and about 16 yards from the

 site, but no longer possesses the character of an ancient castle. It consists, 
 however, in part of the very walls of a large square tower, such as was not 
 an unfrequent object upon the Marches in early times. Its present appear- 
 ance on the summit of a precipitous cKif overhanging the east side of the 
 river Eden, with the richly -wooded plantations below, attracts the admiration 
 of every beholder. Hume, the historian, when on a tour through Cumber- 
 land, wi'ote on a pane of glass these Unes : 
 
 " Here chicks in eggs for breakfast sprawl, 
 Here goilless boys, God's glories squall, 
 Wliile Scotsmen's heads adorn the wall ; 
 But Corbv's walks atone for all."

 members to Parliament. Registered electors (in 1848), 6,462. iVnnual 
 revenue of city, about £25,000. Echuburgh, or the Modem Athens, is one 
 of the most beautiful and, in eonjimction with the old town, the most pictu- 
 resque of aU tlie cities in the British empire. The old and new towns differ 
 materially ui every point. Li the former, tail antique houses and narrow 
 wvnds, or closes, present themselves to view in the whole coiu'se of the 
 High Street in one long and continuous line, from the Castle Heights to the 
 Palace of Holyrood, at the bottom of the Canongate. In this street, or 
 line of streets, are the High Church of St. Giles's, with a beautifid tower 
 in the form of an imperial crown ; the Tron Chiu'ch ; the assemJDly hall, with 
 a spire 238 feet 6 mchcs liigh; the Parliament house and hall, with its 
 curious oaken roof; the diiferent courts of justice, the libraries of the 
 advocates, and the -wi'iters to the signet. At the bottom of the Canongate, 
 in the valley beneath Ai-thiu-'s Seat and Carlton Hill, stands HohTOod 
 Palace, and by its side the roofless rains of the chou* of its venerable abbey, 
 the walls of wluch appear qmte strong enough to endure another roof for 
 ages and ages yet to come. The modern exterior of the Palace, built after 
 the Restoration, has not that interest to the antiquary which the still 
 remauiiiig original tower at the north-west corner of the buildiug possesses. 
 Here are the private apartments of the beautifid but dl-fatcd Queen JNIary, 
 in which the furnitiuT actually used by her ]\Iajesty is religiously preserved, 
 and the blood of Rizzio carefvdly pointed out to the visitor in the stained 
 flooring of her boudoii-. The Castle, which crowns the top of the High 
 Street, is a most picturesque and beautiful object at a distance, but it loses 
 greatly upon closer inspection. Its position is, however, very grand, and it 
 must iiave been regarded as an impregnable fortress before the novel tactics 
 of war were luiderstood. It is biult on a precipitous rock of basaltic green 
 stone, and contains several ancient chambers, in wliich are the cro^nl and 
 regalia of Scotland, an armoury and barracks for troops. In the old to\ni 
 is also the celebrated University of EcUuburgh, founded in 1580, with a 
 library of nearly 100,000 volumes, and many MSS., Musenm and class- 
 rooms. There are tliirty-one professors, and the average annual nuudjer of

 mechanics' institutions, worthy the capital of a sober, sedate, and learned 
 people. The New Town is perfect in all its plans, and mathematically true 
 and formal in all its bearings. The streets are noble and spacious; the 
 squares and crescents handsome ; the monuments dignified and classical ; 
 Queen Street and gardens are remarkably handsome. Riuming parallel 
 with it is George Street — a noble street which discharges itself mto St. 
 George's Square at one end, and St. Andi-ew's Square at the other, while 
 Princes' Street has an uninterrupted run of the old town, to which access 
 is obtaiued by a curious bridge over the market-place. The Royal Insti- 
 tution is a fine building, adorned with the statue of Queen Victoria; the 
 register office, the post-office, and stamp-office, are handsome buildings ; 
 St. George's and St. Andi'ew's churches are also fine structiu-es; George 
 Heriot's, Trmity, Watson's, Gillespie's, the Merchant, Maiden, Trades, 
 Maiden and Orphans' Hospitals, are most magnificent institutions. Here 
 are also Donaldson's and Stewart's Hospitals, an asylmn for the bhnd, a 
 deaf and dumb iustitution, a royal infirmary, several public dispensaries, a 
 night asylmn for the houseless poor, and a house of refuge. Ediaburgh 
 has several banking estabUslmients, and a sarongs' bank. On Carlton HUI is 
 an astronomical observatory, the national monimient, the High School, Sh- 
 Walter Scott's moumnent ; and in St. Andrew's square is a monmneut to 
 Lord Mehnie, 139 feet high. Edinbmgh is divided iu 17 parishes, and 
 13 quod sacra parishes. Lidependently of which there are 23 Free Chm-ch 
 congregations, 14 United Presbyterians, 9 Episcopalian, 2 Roman Catholic 
 chapels and nunnery, 3 Independent, with Methodists, Quakers, Baptists, 
 and other sects. Ten newspapers are published in the city, with every 
 description of periodical. Edinburgh is governed by a Lord Provost, 4 
 Bailies, a Dean of Gidld, treasm-er and council, amounting in the whole to 
 33. The advocates' library is very extensive, and contains 148,000 printed 
 volmnes, and 2,000 MSS. The police of the city is admirably effective ; 
 the prisons of the city and comity, south of the Carlton HjE, are handsome 
 castellated buildings. The trade of Edinbm-gh is almost entirely retail ; 
 but the Port of Leith, wluch adjoins, has long been celebrated for its 
 extensive shipping. The chief manufactures of Leith are glass making, 
 coach bmldiug, and strong ale brewing ; printing, &c., in all its branches, 
 is carried on very actively. Edinburgh is the central point where the great 
 luies of railway meet, and a part of the New To^vn is traversed by an 
 extensive tunnel of the Northern Railway. The views from various parts 
 of the city over the Eirth of Forth into Fite, the Islands of Inclikeith, with 
 its Uglithouse, and the distant lulls of Perthshire, the Peutland HiUs agaiu 
 on the opposite side of the city, and the whole smTounding scenery are 
 tndy beautiful ; but its climate in the spring of the year is very trying to 
 strangers.

 It cannot be donbtcd that this is one of the greatest undei'takiugs in point of colossal 
 labour, as ■wcU as puljlic utility and national importance, to which the energetic mind of 
 man has hitherto been a])plied, if we consider the obstacles which nature had sown in the 
 path of science, aud how skilfidly they have been surmounted by the engineer, as well as 
 the grand object contemplated by the construction of a railway which shovdd form a 
 direct line of communication between London and the metropolis of Scotland, passing 
 through the largest agricvdtm-al, manufacturing, and commercial counties of England. It 
 is pleasant to contemplate the benefits and the blessings which millions of the industrious 
 classes \vill derive from this new impetus to their mauufactm-ing energies ; whUe it cannot 
 fail to make an ample return to the holders of the stock, by means of wliich its gigantic 
 labours have been effected. The admii-ably efficient maimer in wliich the stupendous 
 works of tills Company have hitherto been acliicved, offers earnest evidence of the 
 perfection which may be anticipated when the whole is completed. The talent and genius 
 of Cubitt, the eminently distmguished engineer under whose su])erintendence the whole 
 works have been constructed, will be stamped on every portion of the Line, while the line 
 itself will form the best monument to his fame — one indeed that will perpetuate his name 
 with honour to posterity. 
 
 In our necessarily brief notice of the prmcipal works coustnicted on this line, we shall 
 confine oui-selvcs to those descriptions and features which are inteUigible and -vdsible to 
 travellers in general, eschewing all professional and pui'ely technical or scientific terms, 
 as well as details. 
 
 We must observe, that the station at King's Cross is merely a temporary building, 
 the plan and elevation of the permanent grand terminus not yet having been decided 
 upon. The nmuber of ordinary bridges between London and Peterborough, to which city 
 the direct line only extends at present, is 104, of which, exactly one moiety are over, 
 and the other moiety under the line. 
 
 Of the larger bridges and viaducts, we may cite the following : — ■ 
 
 1. HoLLOWAY Road Bridge, wliich crosses the tui-npike-road about one and a half 
 mile from the London terminus, consisting of ten arches or openings of diS'erent spaces, 
 varying from forty-five to twenty feet each. 
 
 2. HoRNSEY Bridge, over the river, seventy-seven yards long, and three openings of 
 twenty-five feet span — two square and one on the skew. 
 
 3. Harringhay Bridge, sixty-five yards in length, consisting of five arches, of 
 twenty-six feet span each. 
 
 4. East Barnet Bridge, over the coach-road, almost similar to the last 
 
 5. A Viaduct over the river Lea, nineteen miles from London, consisting of five 
 arches of tlurty feet span each, forty feet six inches in height fi'om the siu'face of 
 the water. 
 
 6. The Digswell Viaduct, twenty-one and a half miles from London, before 
 arriving at the Welwyn Station. Tliis magnificent structiu'e cames the line over a 
 vaUey, through which flows the river Mimsam. It is bmlt of brick, is five lumdi-ed and 
 twenty yards in length, and consists of forty arches, each of thirty feet span, rising to the 
 height of ninety-eight feet from the lowest part of the valley. It is truly a gigantic 
 construction, and coupled with the grand embankment -wdth which it is connected, forms 
 a highly picturesque object in the liiUy and richly-wooded country by which it is 
 surroimded, adding great beauty to the landscape. 
 
 7. At Robbery Wood, twenty -three and a half miles from London, and two miles from 
 DigsweU, is a bridge or \iaduct of seven arches over the river, fifty-seven feet sis inches 
 in height from the sm-face of the water. 
 
 8. At Green Mill is a small viaduct of three openings, each of thirty feet span. 
 
 9. Over the river Ouse, fifty-eight miles from London, is a viaduct one hundi'ed and 
 two yards in length, consisting of three openings, each of seventy-five feet span, thirty- 
 one feet in height, the piers of which are composed of sunk cyUndcrs, on the principle of 
 Dr. Potts, a gentleman of great scientific attainments.

 10. Monkslode, about sixty-seven miles from London, is another viaduct of seven 
 openings, varying from fifty-four to eight feet, thirty feet high to the top of the 
 parapet. 
 
 11. At Huntingdon, is a bridge over the railway, consisting of five openings, four of 
 from fifteen to sixteen feet span on the square, and one of twenty-eight on the skew. 
 
 12. Over the river Kene, just beyond Peterborough, is a "bridge two hundi-cd and 
 ninety-two yards in length, consisting of nineteen arches of brick, and thi-ee openings, 
 composed of cast-iron gu'ders, the whole being twenty-two feet in height. 
 
 The above are the principle viaducts on the Peterborough line. 
 
 Of tunnels, we may eniunerate seven completed, and one in process of formation. 
 
 1. Prom the goods to the passengers' station, at King's Cross, passing under Maiden 
 Lane and the Hegent's Canal, of about one hundred yards in length. 
 
 2. At Tottenham, five hundred and ninety-four yards in length. 
 
 3. At East Barnet, six hundred and five yards in length. 
 
 4. At South Enfield, tliree hiuidred and seventy-four vards in length. 
 
 5. At North Enfield, two hujicbed and tliirty-one yai'ds in length. 
 
 6. At South IMimms, one thousand two hundred and ten yards in length. 
 
 7. At Locksley's HiU, four hundt-ed and fifty yards in length. 
 
 9. At Harmer Green, oue thousand and thirty-nine yards in length, making a total of 
 four thousand five hundred and three yards. 
 
 Of the cuttings and embankments we have the following details : — 
 
 At about one and a half mile from London, near the Caledonian Road, is a cutting 
 five hundred and seventeen yards in length, and nearly fifty feet in its greatest depth. 
 
 At Homsev, one of sbc hundred and forty yards ot the same depth. 
 
 Near Southgate the cutting is one thousand nine huncked and forty yards long, 
 through blue clay, fifty-sis. feet deep. 
 
 The Digswell embankment connected with the splendid viaduct, which we have 
 already described, is eight huncbed and fourteen yards long, being fifty feet above the 
 surface of the country at one end, and sixty feet at the other side of the viaduct. Its 
 greatest height in any part being ninety-eight feet. 
 
 At Robbery "Wood, by the Viaduct, is an embankment four hundi-ed and forty yards 
 long, and fifty-five feet in height. 
 
 Beyond this spot, the comitry becoming more level, the cuttings and embankments 
 lose their picturesque appearance by their diminished height, but increase tenfold in 
 distance. At Langford, near Biggleswade, is an embankment eight feet only in height, 
 but two thousand three hundred yards in length ; just beyond the tennination of which, 
 commences a cutting two thousand yards long, and eighteen feet deep. At Sandv, near 
 that station, is an embankment sis. thousand yards long, and about thirteen feet in 
 greatest depth ; and a little further on, near St. Neot's, Hunts, is another, two thousand 
 one himdi-ed yards in length, and twenty-three feet deep. At Ofi'erd D'Arcv, in the same 
 county, is an embankment two thousand two hundred yards long, and aliout eio:ht feet 
 high ; and just beyond Huntingdon, a cutting, thi-ee thousand yarcls long, and thirty-nine 
 feet at its greatest depth. But the most extraordinary and stupendous works of this 
 nature, are those which cross the fenny lands near the Mere, by Cunnington, Sawtrev, 
 and Wood- Walton. The embankment at this spot is eight thousand three hundred and 
 thirty-eight yards in length, and forty feet in height, consisting of 1,218,000 cubic yards; 
 and the embankment at the Holm and Yaxley Pens, five thousand seven hundred yards, 
 and nineteen feet at its greatest height. Just beyond Peterborough is a cutting four 
 thousand two hundred and twenty -two yards m length, and tliirteen feet deep. Before we 
 go to press, we expect to be favoured with the nature of the works in progi-ess of formation 
 between Peterborough and East Retford ; but we have here shown sufiicient to testify to 
 the gigantic labours which have already been achieved — such indeed as are unsurpassed 
 by the prodigies of the Romans or the Egyptians.

 LONDON TO EDINBURGH 
 
 This ancient baronial residence was reconstructed from the earlier fortress 
 which had existed since the Conquest, by Sir Robert de Lyttou (temp. 
 Henry VII.), Knight of the Bath, Privy CouuciUor, Keeper of the Great 
 Warch'obe, and Treasiu'er to Henry AT^I. In the time of his great grandson, 
 Sir Rowland Lytton, Lieutenant of the counties of Essex and Herts, Com- 
 mander of the forces of those counties at Tdbm-y Fort, and Captain of the 
 Band of Gentlemen Pensioners, it was frequently lionoured by the visits 
 of Queen Elizabeth ; Sii* Rowland having, indeed, married a cousin to tliat 
 Queen, viz., Aime, daughter of Lord St. John of Bletsoe, and fourth 
 in descent from INIargaret Beauchamp, Duchess of Somerset, grandmother 
 to Henry VII. The present possessor is Su- Edward Bidwer Lytton, Bart., 
 who dei'ives the Knebworth estates from his mother, sole heiress and repre- 
 sentative of the families of Lji:tou, and Robinson, or Norreys, de Guersylt,

 Castle. Yet such was the ascendancy of the Church at that period, that 
 though he set the civil power at defiance, he was glad to make his peace by 
 submitting to receive manual discipline from the moidis at the chapter- 
 house at Warden, at the same time coufij'ming to them the wood about 
 which the dispute had arisen, and promised them protection hereafter.

 county, consists of a spacious mansion and wings ; that towards the east 
 coimected with the offices, and that towards the west with a large green- 
 liouse. The entrance to the hall is by a double flight of steps, and the 
 interior of the structiu'e contains many rooms of noble dimensions. The 
 grounds near the mansion, tliough, like a great portion of this county, 
 remarkably flat, possess every embellishment which fine timber, well- 
 disposed sheets of water, ornamental bridges, and the river Cam can afford. 
 From some parts of the park the views are extensive and delightful. 
 Opposite the south front of the mansion is an avenue of fine trees, about 
 two miles and a half in length. This is crossed by a branch of the Cam, 
 which flows through tliis part of the grounds. On the north side of the 
 house are tlu-ee pieces of water, which greatly contribute to the interest 
 excited by the siuTOunding scenery, and on a rising ground is an artificial 
 ruin, denominated a Gothic Tower. Wimvole Church stands near the east 
 end of this mansion. Four of the ^vindows are of plated glass, containing 
 the arms of the diifereut families to whom the Yorkes are allied by marriage, 
 and a very beautiful figiu'e of David playing on the harp. There are several 
 splendid monimients^one in particular, that to the memory of Lord Chan- 
 cellor Hardwicke. On the upper part is a medallion of the Earl, aud 
 beneath it a sarcophagus, with tlie figure of Wisdom leaning over it in 
 a mourning position. In the enclosure a few neat cottages have been 
 built, with a small piece of ground attached to each for the use of the 
 labourers.

 the Elizabethan style of architecture ; the principal front, which looks to 
 tlie north, is nearly 200 feet in extent. At each corner are turrets, mounted 
 by triangular cupolas, and terminating with then- vanes. A parapet goes 
 round the whole building in a series of open work, consisting of arches 
 sup]3orted by balustrades and obelisks, interspersed with armorial ensigns 
 of the family. To the general antiquarian however, the most interesting

 England, and Duke or Earl of the East Angles, the revenue of which at the 
 dissolution was valued at £1,983 15s. M. The present mansion consists 
 l)artly of the ancient fabric, exhibiting the gateway in a fine state of 
 preservation. About 2 m. e. of Hohne, till lately, was a large expanse of

 Peterborough, a city, an episcopal see, parliamentary borough and 
 parish, county of Northampton, is situated on the river Nene, which is here 
 crossed by a wooden bridge. The streets of this small city are regular, and 
 the bmldings neat. In the time of the Anglo-Saxons it was celebrated for 
 its magnificent monastery, founded in the 8th century. It was erected into 
 a bishopric in 1541, by Henry VIII. , when the fine abbey church was 
 converted into a catheckal. Catherine, the first wife of Henry VIII., and 
 Mary Queen of Scots were buried here, but the body of the latter Princess 
 was afterwards removed to Westminster Abbey. St. John's Church, near 
 the centre of the city, has an altar-piece, presented by Sir R. K. Porter, 
 and a tablet with figures, executed by Flaxman ; both of which are highly 
 and abundantly esteemed. The Catheckal Close is deeply interesting to the 
 antiquary, owing to the remains of cloisters and many other impressive 
 vestiges of monastic buildings by which it is sm-rounded. The grammar 
 school has five scholarships, and a fellowship to St. John's College, Cam- 
 bridge. The principal public buildings and institutions are the town hall, 
 market-place, infirmary, union workhouse, prison, house of correction, and a 
 theatre. Peterborough, which is under the jiuisdictiou of the Dean and 
 Chapter, is a polling-place for the northern division of the county, and sends

 BELVOIK CASTLE, DUKE OP KUTLAND. 
 
 5 m. w. Belvoir Castle, the Duke of Rutland, is considered the most 
 si)lenclid seat in the coimty of Leicester; it was foimded by Robert de 
 Todeni, called afterwards Robert dc Belevedii-e, a noble Norman, and 
 standard-bearer to William the Conqueror. It was probably at first a part 
 of the adjoining towuship of Wolsthorpe, which is particularly noticed in 
 " Domesday Book," as contauiing two manors, and havuig in one of these a 
 cliurch and jiresbyter, till becoming, in consequence of the owner clioosing 
 it as liis residence, the head of the lordship, the whole was distingidshcd by 
 the title of " Maneriiim de Belvoir, ciun membris de WoUesthorpe." The 
 great design in raising Belvoir Castle was to oppose a barrier to the Saxons. 
 
 Li 1520, the first Earl Rutland restored and rebiult the castle, which had 
 remained in ruins since the time of the wars of the White and Red Roses, 
 when it was attacked and destroyed by WiUiam Lord Hastings. It 
 remained a noble and princely residence till the iudia])j)y war between the 
 King and the Parliament, during which time it was successively occupied by 
 l)oth ])arties, and by each attacked and defended. 
 
 After the Restoration the castle was again repaired and restored, and in 
 the early ])art of the present century upwards of two hundred thousand 
 pounds "were expended on varicnis additions, when in 181G a most calamitous 
 lire destroyed a great part of this beauteous pile, and totally consumed tlie 
 celebrated picture gallery, containing, besides the family pictui'cs, a large

 10 m. E. on the road from Stamford to Lincoln, is Folkingham, supposed 
 to have originated from a baronial castle in the vicinity, wliieh having 
 been garrisoned by the RoyaKsts in the time of Charles I., was subsequently 
 demolished by order of OKver Cromwell. It occupies an extensive elevation, 
 which commands a good view over the fens. The manor of Folkingham 
 was given by William the Conqueror to Gilbert de Gaunt, who came over 
 with him from Normandy, and eminently distinguished himself at the 
 decisive battle of Hastings, for which service WiUiain amply rewarded him. 
 At this place he resided, but no traces of the ancient baronial residence 
 remains. A descendant of liis, who died without issue, in 1274, appointed 
 Edward I. heir to the manor and lands of this barony. Subsequently the 
 manor was given by that monarch to Hemy de BeUamotte, in whose faiiiily it 
 continued till the time of Henry VII. After that period it passed to the 
 family of the Duke of Norfolk ; but being forfeited by attainder, it was 
 granted by King Edward VI. in exchange for other land's, to the faniUy of 
 CUnton. Here was formerly a castle built by Henry de BeUamotte, ' but 
 the ruins have disappeared, and the only remains toVark where once the 
 castle stood, are the moats and mounds on the east side of the town. 
 South-east of the town is a large encampment, with a deep fosse and vallum. 
 Within the area is a square keep of raised earth, defended also by a fosse 
 capable of being filled with water from tJie adjoining brook. Without the 
 area, at the north-east corner, is a small fortified enclosure, intended as an 
 advanced work to secui-e the water for the use of the garrison. The church 
 is a_ handsome structure, principally in the later style of English 
 arcliitectm-e ; the chancel is of earUer date, and exliibits some fine decorated 
 windows, and the tower has a rich battlement and light pinnacles.

 Corporate revenue (1846-7), £1,242. Grantham is a remarkably neat and 
 clean town, jjossessing an aspect of antiquity, which is increased by its 
 ecclesiastical buildings, and the remains of monastic institutions. There are 
 four principal streets, nearly parallel to each other, with smaller ones. The 
 church is a fine specimen of the architecture of the 13tli century, although 
 from the style of its cryjit, it is evident that it was erected upon the 
 foundations of one of much greater antiquity. It has a handsome square 
 tower at the west end, surmounted by an octangular spire, altogether 273 
 feet in height, which is often cited for the elegance of its proportions and 
 ornaments. The interior decorations of this venerable structure are in 
 perfect keeping with the exterior, and its costly monuments arc of a highly 
 interesting character, weU deservrag the attention of the traveller. Edwai'd I. 
 here erected a cross to the memory of Queen Eleanor, on St. Peter's Hill, 
 near the south entrance to the town, and here her body lay in slate in its 
 progress to Westminster Abbey for interment. The remains of the religious 
 houses are also worthy of notice. The grammar school, where Newton 
 received his early education, has an annual revenue of £800, and exhibitions

 Belvoir, art's master-piece and nature's pride, 
 Higli in the regions ot etherial air, 
 Above the ti-ouMcd atraosi)here, 
 Above the magazine of hail and snow, 
 Above the place that meteors breed. 
 Above the seat where he the seed. 
 Whence raging storms and tempest grow. 
 That do infest the troubled world below. 
 
 The cliicf stronghold of the castle is an outwork defence, called Staunton 
 Tower, the command of which is held by the family of that name, in the 
 manor of Staunton, by tenure of castle-ground, by which they were anciently 
 required to appear \\ith soldiers for the defence of tlie castle. It has been 
 the custom when any of the royal family have honoured Belvoir Castle with 
 their presence, for the chief of the Staunton family to appear, and present 
 the key of the stronghold to such distinguished person. Thus when the 
 Prince Regent visited the Duke of Rutland in ISli, the golden key of 
 Staunton was delivered to the illustrious guest, by the Rev. Dr. Staunton, 
 by virtue of the tenure above described. 
 
 The building surrounds a quadrangular coui't, and assumes a majestic 
 castellated appearance. The ancient gardens suspended, as it were, in 
 ten'aces, afford a striking and irregular appearance. They are in a style 
 well suited to the extent and magnificence of the castle, and consist princi- 
 pally of majestic rows of the taUer trees on the decHnty of the lulls, 
 with spacious walks beneath them. Below are the deeply-shaded plantations 
 of yew and fir, and these bounded by more promiscuous groups and foreign 
 wood, which comiect the gardens with the neighbom-ing grounds ; slu'ubs 
 and flowers, which would be inconsistent -with the grandem- of the sceneiy, 
 are scattered only here and there m a few places as though by the hand of 
 nature. Crabbe, the poet, was for some years chaplain at Belvoii- Castle.

 Parliamentary army in the civil wars of the 17th century, and is now a very 
 stately and picturesque niin. The church is considered one of the finest 
 parochial structures in England ; its style, the florid Gotliic, siiperbly 
 ornamented in every part. It has a light and elegant stone tower, sustaining 
 a lofty spu'e of remarkable beauty, formmg a conspicuous object in the sur- 
 rounciiug scenery. The town, which is approached from the north by a 
 raised causeway on numerous arclics, is well ])uilt, has a spacious market-

 £17,000, containing the cor))orato ofiiccs, courts of law, and a public

 Belton House, the seat of Earl Bro^vnlow, was built by Sir John Brown- 
 low, the third baronet, from the design of Sir Christopher Wren. It was 
 commenced in 16S5, and completed in 1689. The mansion presents four 
 uniform elevations, originally sunnounted by a balustrade and cupola ; and 
 the stone employed in its construction is of an excellent and dm-able quality. 
 The apartments are well proportioned, and adorned with carvings by 
 Grinlin Gibbons. William III. honoiu'ed the founder with a visit in 
 1695, after the death of his Queen, previously to which he had obtained 
 permission to empale his lands, which he enclosed with a wall five miles in 
 circumference. Sir John Brownlow, fifth baronet, who was created Viscount 
 Tyrconnel, here formed gardens of great magnificence, which have been 
 altered to the taste of the present age ; and the grounds have received 
 every embellishment that refined taste could suggest. Close to wliich is

 and when viewed from the lofty bridge wliich crosses the water in question, 
 the fi-ont has a truly palatial appearance. The internal decorations, the 
 proportions of the various state and other apartments, the collection of 
 paintings, the fimiiture, articles of virtu, &c., are all in strict keeping \vitli 
 the character of the princely domain by which tliis mansion is surrounded. 
 The park is eleven miles in circumference, and contains highly interesting 
 and picturesque prospects, with venerable woods, from one of which, 
 Clumber, the seat derives its name. It has been eloquently observed of

 York, a city, parliamentary and mimicipal borough, and county of itself, 
 capital of the county of York, is the second city of England iu rank, but 
 not iu any other respect. It is situated iu the centre of the comity, at the 
 junction of the thi-ee Ridings and Ainsty, on the Ouse, at the influx of the 
 Foss, and at the meeting of railways from Berwick, London, and the central 
 counties. Ai-ea of city, 2,720 a.; population, 28,242. The parliamentary 
 borough comprises the whole or parts of tliirty-six parishes, and some 
 extra-parochial districts, and is nearly coincident Mrith the municipal. It 
 sends two members to Parliament. Registered electors (184S), 3,671 ; 
 corporate revenue (1848), £7,404 ; gross revenue of archiepiscopal see 
 (1843), £20,141. The charities in 1825 produced an aggregate revenue of 
 upwards of £4,500. York is the Eboracmn of the Romans, and from its 
 reported resemblance to the Imperial City, was dignified with the title of 
 " Altera Roma." Veiyfew remains of the genius of that wonderful people 
 are now extaut in York — the principal are the arch in Micklegate Bar, the 
 rectangular tower, and the south wall of the Minster Y^ard — these relics are 
 highly prized by the antiquary. History proves that York was the residence 
 of Hadrian, Severus, Constantius, Chlones, Constantine, and other Roman 
 Emperors ; and tlie funeral obsequies of Sevems, who died there, a.d. 212, 
 are said to liave been perfonned at Silvers' Hill, west of the city. Under 
 the Saxons it was successively the capital of the kingdoms of Nortluun- 
 berlaud and Deii-a. It suffered severely for its o]iposition to William of 
 Normandy. In the civil wars of the 17th century it espoused the royal 
 cause, but boldly opposed the fanatical and arbitrary proceedings of the 
 bigoted James II. 
 
 The city, nearly three miles in circii"mference, is entered by four principal 
 gates, or bars, and five posterns. Micklegate Bar is the handsomest of the

 forms the area of tliis ruin corresponds with CUiFord's Tower on the oppo-

 is divided iato thi-ee parts by the rivers Foss and Ouse, the fonner of 
 which is crossed by five bridges — the latter by one, on the eastern bank of 
 which stands the castle, a splendid stmctnre, built for the county prison, 
 ia 1701, on the site of the ancient fortress. In this building is also the 
 Basdica, or New County Hall, an elegant stnictiu-e of the Ionic order, built 
 in 1777 ; but the pride of the city is the ^Minster, or Cathedral Chui'ch of 
 St. Peter, which is the largest of its kind in England, chiefly built ia the 
 13th and 14th centuiies. It is 524^ feet ia length, and 222 in breadth 
 iaternally, with a great tower 234 feet high. Its magnificent west front is 
 adorned with two towers 196 feet high, and it is richly adorned withia. In 
 1829, Martiu, a lunatic, set fire to this splendid pile, and it suffered also 
 by an accidental fire in 1840, but these injm'ies have been perfectly repaired. 
 Independently of the cathedral, we may cite amongst the ecclesiastical 
 monimients of this ancient city, the churches of All Saiats, the pavement of 
 which is partly Inult of the ruins of the ancient Eboracuni, AU Hallows, 
 St. Dennis, St. Margaret's, St. LawTcnce, St. Michael-le-Belfry, and St. 
 Mai'tiu's, and the ruined abbey of St. Mary, all of which merit the greatest 
 attention. Of the other pubUc buildings, we may name the Guddliall, a 
 noble Gothic structure of the 15th century, the Mansion House, with an 
 Ionic colonnade and a fine state-room. Chapter House, theatre, concert haU, 
 and assembly rooms. The buildings of the Yorkshire Philosophical Society, 
 subscription library of 17,000 volumes, museum, city gaol, banks, railway 
 station, and several Dissenting chapels, all of which are deseiTing of notice. 
 Outside of the city walls there are, independently of the Retreat, another 
 institution, managed by the Society of Friends, about a mile distant, a 
 county limatic asylum, a county hospital, cavalry baiTacks, and Bishops- 
 thorpe Palace, the residence of the Ai-chbishop. The streets of York are

 Lord of Sockbium, or his agent, meets the Bishop of Durham on his first

 temporal power, repeats as follows : " My Lord Bishop, I here present you 
 with the falcliion wherewith the champion Couyers slew the hound-di'agon,

 which the king then reigning gave him the ]\Ianor of Sockbui-n, to hold by

 by William the Conqueror, wliich retains much of its original military 
 aspect, though improved by recent alterations, is approjn-iated as a 
 residence of the Bishop, as well as to the Ecclesiastical University, 
 incorporated 1837. The cathedi-al, rising from the highest point of 
 eminence on wliich the city is biult, is one of the most superb edifices 
 in the kingdom. It was founded in 1093, although not completed until 
 nearly the end of the 13th century. Its architecture is prineiiially 
 of the Anglo-Norman character, although it exhibits the various beau- 
 ties of the early English, or pointed style. It is 507 feet in length, 
 including the western porch, by 200 feet in breadth, and has a central tower 
 214 feet high. It has a noble west front, with a GaUlee chapel, and two 
 richly oniamented towers 143 feet high. Within is the tomb of St. Cuth- 
 bert, and the chapel of the Venerable Bede. The see of Durham was one of 
 the richest in the empire. It was foimded in the lOth eentui'y, and in 1843 
 its gross income was £22,4IG, but under aiTangcinents introduced by the 
 Ecclesiastical Coimnissioners, the Bishop's income is fixed at £8,000 per 
 annum.

 1 m. w. Lambton Hall, The Earl of Durham, is situated on an elevated 
 position, on the north bank of the Wear. It is a modern edifice, erected 
 by Bononi. The lilu'ai'y is a well-proportioned, quadi-augidar room, with a 
 neat gallery around it. The grounds are agreeable, and the ride through a 
 hangiug wood, ontlic southern bank of the Wear, is very beautiful. A little 
 further s.w. Lumley Castle, Earl of Scarborough, is majestically situated 
 on fine elevated groimd, bounded on the north by Lumley Beck, and rising 
 on the south and west, from the river Wear, the east front being near the 
 brow of a deep, well-wooded valley, through wliich the Beck -winds towards 
 the river. The mansion forms a quadi-angle, with an area ia the centre, 
 projecting tuiTcts at each angle, or observatories, of an octangular form, 
 and which overhang the face of each square at the base, and are macliiolated, 
 for the purpose of amioying assailants ; and they give to the general 
 appearance of this stately mansion a most singular effect. The whole is 
 composed of a yellow freestone. The front to the south is modem, and 
 brought jdmost ])arallel with the tower, being 65 paces in length; and 
 towards the east the castle retains its ancient form, and with the projeetmg 
 gateway, connnauded by turrets, has a most inq)osing aspect. The original 
 f ibric was constructed by Sir Robert Lundev, in the reign of Edward I.

 Elizaljeth for a master and tliii'ty brethren, and is still subject to the 
 regulations then adopted. The Bisho}) of Dm-hain appoints the master, 
 who must be hi holy orders, and of the degree of M.A. at least; the 
 master nominates the "lirethren, who each receive a handsome yearly stipend, 
 besides being comfortably clothed, lodged, and fed. At present this is one 
 of the most richly endowed charitable fomidations in the north of England. 
 Its income amounts to several thousand pounds per aiuium. The hospital 
 was eidarged m 1S19, by fifteen additional lodging-houses for the accom- 
 modation of as many out-brethren, before which period there were only 
 fifteen inmates. The building, to which is attached a chapel and apartments 
 for the master, is of a quackangular form, situated in an agreeable vale on

 Newcastle-upon-Ttne, a parliamentary and nnmicipal borough town, 
 and river port, capital of the comity of Northumberland, and a county of 
 itself, is situated on the north bank of the Tyne, communicating with Gates- 
 head by a bridge of nine arches. Area of town county, 2,000 a. ; population 
 of parliamentary borough, 69,430. It sends two members to Parliament. 
 Registered electors (1848), 5,041. This very ancient and interesting town 
 stands on steep declivities, rising from the vicinity of the river, and altliough, 
 until within the last fifty years, it consisted priucip.dly of narrow streets 
 and ill-built houses, it has now become one of the handsomest provincial 
 towns in the kingdom. These great improvements owe their origin to the 
 praiseworthy energy and enterprise of Mr. Grainger, a l)uilder, and a native 
 of the town ; and it is said that their execution was effected at the cost of 
 nearly £2,000,000 sterhng. In our necessarily brief account of this place, it 
 is ahnost impossible to do justice to the many noble and striking public 
 edifices it contains, but we may cite the following as especially worthy of 
 notice : The public market, containing an area of three acres ; the new 
 exchange, with its three beautifid Corinthian fronts ; theatre, new music 
 hall, the arcade, a Corinthian cdilice, occupied by public offices, banks, &c. ; 
 the moot hall, or assize court for the county of Northumberland, on the 
 model of the Temple of Theseus, at Athens ; the guildhall and old exchange, 
 mansion house, custom house, town gaol, jiolice office, Pandon Dean 
 Bridge, over a deep glen ; the public baths, assembly rooms, racquet court , 
 and large barracks. The above are the principal cciifiees, to which we may 
 add the splendid column at the top of Grey Street, 136 feet high, supportiug 
 a statue of the late Earl Grey, by Bailey. Of the churches, we may name 
 St. Nicholas, which has a steeple 201 feet liigh, St. Andrew's, St. Jolni's,

 and All Saints, with a spii-e 202 feet in height. Thei)e are also many other 
 handsome chapels and places of worship for Dissenters of all denominations. 
 Newcastle contains the following institutions : literary and philosoi^liical, 
 natural history, antiquarian, law, medical and botanical societies. It is the 
 seat of one of the provincial medical schools of England, and has a trinity 
 house, a royal grammar school, and many other places of education, a large 
 infirmary, liuiatic asylmn, dispensaiy, lying-in hospital, and numerous other

 centre of the English coal trade ; within a radius of eight miles fifty coal 
 pits are wi-ought; and in the year 1840, its trade in this article alone 
 employed 1,327 vessels, mamied by 13,548 sailors. The principal manu- 
 factui-es of this town are steam and other macliinery, bottle and window-

 Newcastle derives its name from its ancient castle, foimded by Robert of 
 Normandy ; and Lcland teUs us that in his time it was the best defended 
 and strongest town in England. The wall of Hadrian passed through the 
 site of the town, and some of its towers now remaining are used as haUs of 
 the corporate trades. The museum at Newcastle contains a splendid 
 collection of Roman and other antiquities.

 thick, and the ajiartnients vaidted. It was here that the cattle were 
 secured at night against the incursions of the moss-troopers. Withui is a 
 deep well. The castle is a most mteresting fabric, its strength and 
 venerable appearance recalling Aavidly to the imagination the verses of yore, 
 so powerfully described by the pen of the innuortal Scott. Belsay has been 
 the residence of the Middleton family from the carhest notice of the place 
 in any existing record. In the reign of Edward III. it was forfeited by the 
 rebellion of John de Middleton, but returned to the family in the 14th of 
 Richard II., and has continued in it do\Mi to the ])resent proprietor, who 
 has assumed the name of Monck. The new family mansion stands at a 
 short distance from the castle. The grounds are picturesque, and the 
 situation extremely pleasant. 1^ ni. n.w. of which, is Capheaton Castle, 
 Su- John E. Swinburne, Bart. The present mansion was built by Robert 
 TroUope, architect of the old exchange at Newcastle, and was constnicted 
 on the site, and from the materials of the ancient Castle of Swinbumes 
 (mentioned by Lelaud, temp. Hem-y VIII.), and completed in 16GS. Three 
 of the fronts are in their original state, but considerable additions have 
 been made to the house since that period. Tlie apartments are spacious, 
 the library being 56 feet long, and the house is wcU-sheltered by thi'iving 
 woods and j)lantations ; the walks, pleasure-grounds, and gardens, are 
 extensive, and are ornamented with a noble sheet of water, containing an

 principally iu the exportation of coal. The yearly rent for ' anchorage 
 here, at id. per ship, in 134G, was only 3s. 4rf. ; however during the siege of 
 Newcastle, in 1644, the coal trade flonrished greatly, but subsequently 
 experienced great depression; it was again revived, and now fui-uishcs 
 occupation to nearly 100 vessels, of the aggregate burthen of upwards of 
 15,000 tons. The produce of the Bcdchngton Iron Works, which ai-e about 
 tlnee miles distant, are brought down 'the river Blyth for shipment for 
 London. The harbour, wliich is free at all times from obstruction, is secure 
 even during the most tempestuous weather. There is a dry dock, capable 
 of receiving four vessels, and a branch custom house connected with the 
 establishment at Newcastle. The ciixidar stone lighthouse was built by 
 Sir Matthew ^Vliite Ridley, Bart., iu 1788 ; and there is a beacon light, 
 called the Basket Rock Light. Co\\q3en Hall, M. J. Sidney, Esq. To the 
 north, between the Blyth and Wansbeck, is Bedlington, a parish in Chester 
 Ward. It was a royal francliise under the bishops of Durham, and enjoyed 
 its own coiu-ts and officers, till it was stripped of those pri\nlegcs' by 
 Henry VIII. ; in all civil matters it is a member of the county of Durham. 
 The monks of Diu-ham, in their iiight to Lindisfarne before the arms of the 
 Conqueror, with the incorruptible body of St. Cuthbert, rested all night 
 here. The ancient church enjoyed many privileges, and the purchasers of 
 the lauds after the Restoration, offered the King a large smn to confirm 
 their rights for ninety -nuie years ; but instead of accepting it, he granted a 
 commission of inquii-y after all such purchases. 
 
 li m. E. BoTHALL, where there are the ruins of a castle, the property of 
 the Duke of Portland. The castle was built by Sir Robert Bertram, in the 
 reign of Edward III., and is noted thus in the " Bothool Baroury" of 
 1576 : "To this manor of Bothoole belongeth ane casteU, great chauhiier, 
 pailer, vij, bed-chauhners, one galare, butterie, pantrie, lardenor, kitchinge, 
 an court, called the Yethouse, wharm there is a prison, a porter-lodge, and 
 a toure called Banke Toui-e, a gardine, a uurice chapel, and an towre, called 
 Ogle's TowTc, and pastrie, with many other prettie beauldings here not 
 specifiede, fair garcliiK's and orchetts, wharin growes all kind of "hearbes and 
 flo\\Tes, and fine applies, plumbes, peers, damselles, uuttes, chemes, to the 
 black and reede, and also licories verie fyne, worth by the year, xxi." Of 
 all these, only the gateway remains, and the outer walls, sadly shattered, 
 and enclosing about two roods of land, scattered with fragments of 
 buildings. The gateway is flanked on the north by two polygonal towers, 
 fifty-three feet hi^h, and on the south-west angle by a square tiu-ret, sixty 
 feet high. The site of these ruins occupy a fine natm-al eminence in the 
 midst of a deep valley, and washed on the south by the Wansbeck. The 
 wood scene is picturesque. At a short distance east from the castle is the 
 chui-ch, wliich contains a curious tomb in memory of the Ogles, made of 
 alabaster.

 expedition against the Moors iu 1509. In the 10th of Elizabeth, it 
 belonged to Tiiomas Swinbiu'ne, Esq., but heirs male faihug in the reign of 
 Charles I., it went by inheritance to the Swinburnes of Cajiheaton. The 
 castle stands near the head of a narrow valley, and consists chiefly of one 
 grey venerable tower. 
 
 About a mile before reaching Lisbury, the next station on the direct liue, 
 is a short one of 2i miles to Alnwick, which is situated on the irregular 
 dechvity of an eminence arising from the river Alne, over which at the 
 north extremity of the towm, is a neat stone bridge of three arches ; the 
 streets are spacious, well paved, and lighted with gas ; the houses, chiefly 
 built of stone, are modern, and many of them elegant. The history of the 
 town is so connected with that of the castle, that we need not refer to it.

 solitude in Hulue Park. It was founded by Ralph Ereebiu-u, a Northum- 
 berland gentleman, who had done good service in the holy Avars in 1240. 
 The outer walls and gateways are stiU entire, but the chapels, oratories, and 
 offices are greatly dilapidated. The most perfect part of it is a noble tower, 
 which was fitted up during the last century in the Gothic style. 4 m. from

 Near Callaly is a conical hdl, called Castle Hdl, its top comprising about 
 two acres, is girt by a high wall, and in the weakest place by a fosse seven 
 yards deep, hewn out of the soUd rock, and flanked on the outside with a 
 wall. Down the western brow of the liiU, about 100 paces, is another 
 strong wall, its ruins measui'ing seven and a half yards at their base. The 
 whole fortified area contains nearly six acres, and is dilDeidt of access. 
 There are several other ancient camps in this neighbourhood. Glauton Pike 
 is also a conical exploratory hill ; and near it, at Dear Street, beside Glantou 
 Westfield, were found, in 1716, four "Rcstavens," one empty, the other

 Coquet, which nearly suiTOunds it ; one mile from the North Sea, and here 
 crossed by a stone bridge. Area of parish, 1.5,110 a. On the south bank 
 of the Coquet, Warkworth Castle, Duke of Northumberland. It is in a very 
 decayed state, but commands a splendid view. About one mile beyond, on 
 the beautifully wooded bank of the Coquet, stands Warkworth Hermitage. 
 
 Alnwick Castle, the Duke of Northumberland. Tliis splendid pile, the 
 outer walls of which enclose an area of five acres, stands on an eminence 
 on the south bank of the river Alne, which in its circuitous course washes 
 the beautiful lawns that sui-round the castle. It is beheved that Alnwick 
 Castle was founded by the Romans, the foimdations of the buildings, with 
 Roman mouldings, having^ been discovered when a part of the keep was 
 taken down for repaii-s. The fretwork round the arch leacbng to the imier 
 coui't is evidently of Saxon arcliitectui'c, but under the Elag Tower was a 
 more ancient gateway, that had been walled up, dii-ectly fronting the present 
 outward gateway into the town. The walls of the castle are flanked by 
 sixteen massy towers. It has three courts or wards. The imier com-t is 
 entered by a gateway of great antiquity, flanked by two octagonal towers,

 ornamented with armorial escutcheons ; erected about 1350. From the 
 inner court in the centre of the citadel is a stair-case of singular form, 
 expanding like a fan, the roof enriched with a series of one hundi-ed and 
 twenty shields, with the quarterings and aUiances of the Percy family. 
 The apartments are magnificent, both as to ])roportion and decoration. This 
 castle underwent a memorable siege in 1093 from Malcolm III. of Scotland, 
 who, with his eldest son. Prince Edward, were slam before its walls. This 
 event was commemorated by a cross erected on the spot where the King 
 fell, which was restored by the Duchess of Northumberland in 1771. In 
 the year 1171, William III., King of Scotland, was taken prisoner here 
 during a siege, which is also commeraoratcKl by a momunent, with this 
 inscription: "William the Lion, King of Scotland, besieging Alnwick

 lobsters, herrings, and other fish to Loudon. Races were annually held 
 here until 1826, when they were removed to Belford. 
 
 3 m. s.E. Bamburgh Castle. It stands upon a basalt rock of a triangular 
 shape, accessible only to an enemy on the s.E., which is guarded by a deep, 
 dry ditch, and a series of towers on the wall. Its crown is girt with walls 
 and towers, which, on the land side, have been repaired ; those on the E. 
 are stiU ruinous. On a lofty point of the rock is a very ancient tower, 
 which from its appearance challenges Saxon origin. The keep stands on 
 the area of the rock, and is of that kind of building which prevailed at the 
 Conquest. Witliin it is a draw-well, discovered in 1770, of the depth of 
 one hundred and forty-five feet, cut tlu'ough solid rock, of which seventy- 
 five feet is whinstone. The remains of the chapel were found under a 
 prodigious mass of land in 1773. The chancel is separated from the nave, 
 and is thirty-sis: feet by twenty, and, after the Saxon fashion, semi-circular 
 at the east end. The ancient font was discovered, and is preserved in the 
 keep, and the altar has a passage round it. That it is one of the oldest 
 castles ia England may be inferred from the fact tliat Penda the Mercian 
 besieged it iii 672, and attempted to bum it. In 705 in was again besieged 
 under Birthric, and nearly destroyed by the Danes in 993, but at the time 
 of the Conquest was ia good repair. It has subsequently undergone several 
 sieges, but lost the greatest part of its beauty ia a siege after the battle of 
 Hexham. Erom that period it has suffered much by time and winds, but in 
 1757 it was repaired by Archdeacon Sharpe. Much since then has, however, 
 been done, and it is matter of high gratification to see it now converted 
 into apartments for the most wise and benevolent purposes.

 On this very important branch of the Great Northern Line, which traverses a perfectly 
 level country, the works are confined principally to embankments, and the necessary 
 bridges for passing the rivers, streams, and canals with which the district aboimds, and 
 to such works as were requisite for securing the proper foundations of the line in a 
 wet and fenny country. The bridges between the Loop Junction (about three miles 
 from Peterborough) and Gainsborough, number twenty-five, twelve of wliich carry roads 
 over the railway, and thii-tceu by which the railway is carried over roads ; to these may 
 be added forty-three viaducts over rivers and streams, making a total of sixty-eight. All 
 these works are constructed principally of timber. The most remarkable on the line are 
 the Boston and Bardney Bridges, and the Longwood Viaduct. Boston Bridge is five 
 hundred and seventy-two yards in length, crossing the liver Witham ; and the openings, 
 includiug those on land, amount to seventy-eight, rising about tliirty feet above the 
 surface of the water.

 2i m. N.w. Market Deeping, a market town, in the county of Lincoln. 
 This county was the scene of many sanguinary conflicts at a very early 
 date. Of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Mereia, this shii'c formed an 
 important part, the northern portion being wi'csted from that kingdom by 
 Edwm, of Nortlmmbria. Li 827, at Caistor, Egbert, King of Wessex, 
 defeated Wiglaf, King of Mereia ; and this part of the English territory 
 being exposed by its loeaUty to the incursions and ravages of the 
 Danes, their sanguinary assaults was wreaked upon it with especial fury 
 and violence. Early in the year 870 they destroyed the monastery of 
 Bardney, and devastated the country all round with fire and sword. The 
 latter end of the same year, Algar, Earl of Mereia, gave the Pagans battle, 
 and routed them witli great slaughter and the death of three of their kings. 
 In 1174, Roger de Mowbray, an adherent of Prince Henry, in his rebellion 
 against his lather, Hem-y 11., for a considerable time maintained an obsti- 
 nate defence in the Isle of Axholme ; and this isle, in the reign of 
 Hcm-y III., afforded a retreat to many of the disaffected nol^les after tlie 
 battle of Evesham. During the CivU War this county was the thc^atre of 
 considerable military transactions. Grantham, Aneaster, Gainsborough, 
 and Horneastle were, in 1643, respectively the scenes of slaughter ; and in 
 May, 1644, the Earl of Manclicster stormed Lincoln, and captm-ed its 
 governor. Colonel Fane, with about 800 men. Market Deeping derives 
 its name from the lowiicss of the land. The manor of Deeping was 
 granted to tlie Abbey of Croyland in the time of the Saxons, and the 
 grant confirmed l)y tlie King of Mereia in 860. Market-day, Thursday.

 The Longwood Viaduct, near Fiskerton, is three huncked and seventy yards long, 
 and has fifty-six openings, the height of the whole being only twelve feet. All other 
 works upon this line beyond the usual character of railway construction, were rendered 
 necessary by the natui-al formation of the soil, and the difficulties it presented for the 
 fonnation of solid foundations : these were aU acbnirably sm-momited by the skill and 
 talent of the engineer ; but the modus operandi would be of no interest to the general or

 West Deeping, in the county of Lincoln. The chm-ch is a handsome 
 building of the early Enghsh style of architectui-e. 2 m. s. ISLiXEY, a 
 parish, coimty Northampton. The chm-ch is a very ancient stinietm-e, 
 principally in the Norman style. In this parish are nine bridges, adjoining 
 each other, called LoUiam Bridges, which were constructed by the Romans. 
 2 m. fm-ther s. Helpstone. In the centre of the village is a very ancient 
 cross, date and origin unkuo\ni. The church has traces of the Norman, 
 with insertions of the early English style of architectm-e. It is the bu-th- 
 place of the peasant poet Clare. 
 
 1 m. s. NoRTHBOROUGH. In the church, which is a fine specimen of the 
 Norman style, is a monmnent, with other memorials to the family of Clayjwle, 
 one of whom married a daughter of OMvcr CromweU, aud was created a baronet 
 in 1657. Then- ancient mansion, a beautiful specimen of the decorative 
 style, has been converted into a farm-house. A short distance from North- 
 borough is Woodcroft Castle. Little of the ancient structm-e now remains. 
 
 St. James Deeping, a parish, coimty Lincoln. Shoi-tly after the 
 Conquest, a lofty bank was raised to protect the laud from the overflowing 
 of the river Wellaud, and at one end of the bank is the above parish. 
 
 LiTTLEWORTH, a hamlet of Deeping. A neat church was erected here 
 about the year 1844. 
 
 2 m. N. Pinchbeck, where are some considerable remains of an ancient 
 mansion, which formerly bore the name of Pmchbeck Hall, the name of its 
 owner, but having passed into the possession of the Otway family, is now 
 called Otway HaU. It appears to have been originally a large building 
 erected about the tune of Hem-y VIII ; it was moated round, and a few of 
 the -ndndows have square lights, with pointed heads ; the chimneys are 
 remarkably lofty, and the gable-ends have at the sides and ends many pin- 
 nacles, cro^wnecl with ornamental balls. In the gardens of this mansion 
 were discovered, in the year 1742, a large brass commodus, on the reverse 
 a woman sitting on a globe, with her right hand extended, and m her left a 
 Victory. Since then several pipes of baked earth have been found here. 
 The estate is the property of Thomas Buckworth, Esq. Pinchbeck House, 
 Captain Browne. 
 
 Surfleet, county Lincoln. Area of parish, 3,730 a. Here is a large 
 herom-y, one of the few existing in this country. Surfleet House, Mrs.

 it was, however, soon restored, and flourished imtil the dissolution of 
 monasteries, at whiclt time its revenue was £1,217 55. lie?. During the 
 parliamentary war, it was occupied as a garrison, and, by those ruthless and 
 fanatic emissai'ies, almost eutii'ely demolished. The remains consist of the 
 western piers, of the eastern portion in the Norman style, and of some 
 of the nave and aisles of the old abbey chui-ch, the south piers and arclies, 
 and part of the clerosty, also the west front, highly em-iched and orna- 
 mented witli several statues of kings and abbots. The roof of that portion 
 now used as the parish church is finely groined, the windows large, and 
 decorated with elegant tracery. In the interior is a very ancient font, 
 divided into compartments, a cylindrical stoup, some fine screen-work, and 
 several curious ancient monuments. The first tuneable beUs hung in England 
 pealed their melody forth from tins abbey. Numerous stone coflins, contain- 
 ing bones and various relics, have been dug up from the foimdations of this 
 pile, which are traceable to a considerable distance. In the centre of the 
 town is a triangular stone bridge, built about the year 911, and may be 
 regarded as an object of the greatest curiosity in Britain, if not in Europe. 
 The bridge consists of three piers or abutments, whence spring three 
 pomted arches, which ixnite theii' groins in the centre. The ascent is very 
 steep, but it is used for foot-passengers only. The market has lately 
 been re-established. The town, instead of being, as formerly, inaccessible, 
 is now approached on aU sides by excellent roads, and the drainage so 
 efiicient that it almost ceases to be classed veith the fens. 
 
 1 m. E. Waldron HaU, now converted into a farm-house. The park and

 Deeping Fen, part of which is extra-parocliial, and part in the parish of

 Spalding, a market-town, county Lincoln; a place of considerable 
 antiquity, as, in the time of the Saxons, a cell was foimded here by Therold 
 de Buckenhale. In 1074, the manor of Spalding was given by Jno. Talbois, 
 nephew of the Conqueror, to the abbey of St. Nicholas at Angers, and 
 became an aHen priory to that monastery. It subsequently was raised to 
 an abbey, and so continued until the general suppression. A portion of the 
 abbey buildings yet remaias, part of which is converted into tenements, and 
 the other is ruins. Many relics of antiquity have been discovered in the 
 neighbourhood. The town is well bmlt, paved, and lighted. The river 
 WeUand, which nms through the centre of the town, is navigable for small 
 vessels. Ayscough Fee HaU, Maurice Johnson, Esq. 7 m. e. Holbeach.

 Algarkirk is a parish in the county of Lincoln, parts Holland ; area, 
 6,050 a. a curious statue in the churchyard is said to represent Algar, 
 King of Mercia, who, with his gallant stewards, Bybuston and Leofrick, so 
 valiantly opposed the incursions of the Danes, over whom near this place he 
 obtained a decisive victory in 870, but paid for it by his life on the following 
 day.

 chamiel : at present, however, the river is navigable as I'ar as Lincohi for 
 small steam-boats. Its cm-rent before these improvements was so slow, 
 that the mud accumulated in the channel, and cousc([uentl_y many serious 
 inundations have from time to time taken place. By the roll of the 
 "hic:h fleet" of Edward 111., Boston appears to have been then a consi- 
 deraole place, for it furnished a quota of 16 ships to the "maritime militia." 
 Subsequent to that, the iovm gradually declined in the connnercial scale, 
 and about a centuj-y ago it sunk so low as nearly to lose the whole of its 
 trade, owing to the navigation of the Witham being choked with silt. The 
 barges, or flat vessels, which requii'ed only a small di-aught of water, coidd 
 then reach the quays only at high spring-tides. But on cutting a new 
 chamiel from the town to Dogdyke, an extent of 12 miles, the river was 
 again rendered navigable. Formerly Boston had several religious houses, 
 among which was St. Botoljih's Priory, founded, according to Leland, by 
 St. Botolph, in the time of the Saxons, whence the tovm derived both its 
 origin and its name. Besides which, there was a priory near the sea, 
 dedicated to St. Mary ; four friaries of Austin, Black, Grey, and White 
 Friars ; and three colleges, dedicated to St. Mary, Corpus Christi, and 
 St. Peter. 
 
 7 m. s.w. Haverholme Priory, The Earl of Winchilsea. This manor 
 was given by Alexander, Bishop of Lincohi, to the Cistercian monks of 
 Fountains A1)bey, Yorksliire, in the year 1137, that they might build an 
 abbey of that order, but after having made some progress in the same, they 
 pretended not to Like the situation, and therefore removed to Louth Park ; 
 the bishop then gave it to the Order of St. Gilbert, in whose hands it 
 remained until the dissolution. Numerous additions were made to the old 
 remains in 1788, corresponding with the improvements of the place. The 
 house and groxuids occupy an area of about 300 acres, fronting an island 
 between two branches of the river Slea.

 five miles from tlie sea. Area of parish, 5,220 a. ; population, 12,942. It 
 sends two members to Parliament ; registered electors (1846), 1,083 ; 
 corporate revenue (1846), £4,884 ; customs' revenue, £40,064 ; registered 
 shipping of port (1847), 186 vessels — aggregate bui'den, 8,768 tons. It is 
 a polling-place for the Kesteven division of the county. The town is 
 divided by the river ; it is well-built, paved, and lighted, but it suffers from 
 the want of good water. The chm'ch of Boston, erected a.d. 1309, is an 
 elegant, spacious, and highly interesting fabric, dedicated to St. Botolj)h, 
 and is said to be the largest rehgious edifice without cross aisles in the 
 kingdom, the tower, which forms a landmark visible for forty miles, is 
 281 feet iu height, and has been compared with that of the catliedral of 
 Antwerp ; in beauty, however, there are few, if any, which surpass it. The 
 interior of the church is riclily ornamented, and the altar, which is of the 
 Corinthian order, in oak, is adorned with a fine copy of Rubens' celebrated 
 picture, " The taking down from the Cross," one of the greatest ornaments 
 of the cathecb'al to wliich we have adverted. In the 14th and 15th centu- 
 ries it was one of the most important connnercial ports of the kingdom. It 
 was the birthplace of the celebrated John Fox, tlie Martyi-ologist. Markets, 
 Wednesday and Saturday ; cattle fairs, May 4th and 5th, August 5th,

 Tattershall, a neat market-town, county of Lincobi. Area of parish, 
 3,840 a. The church, which is cruciform, is one of the most spacious and 
 elegant stnictures of the kind in the county. It was made collegiate 
 A.D. 1438, by Ralph Lord Cromwell; but it has suffered great dilapidations 
 from neglect and other causes. It formerly possessed very rich staiued 
 glass vnndows, and beautifully carved oak stalls, screen, &c. Many of the 
 wmdows are now blocked up, and the rich decorations were destroyed by 
 exposure to the air. Two beautiful brass figures of Lord and Lady Crom- 
 well lie before the altar. Here are also the remains of Tattershall Castle, 
 belonging to the Cromwell family. 5 m. e. New Bolingbroke. 2 m. n.

 quaUty. The chvu'ch, dedicated to All Saints, is a handsome structure, in 
 the early EngKsh style of architecture, consisting of a nave, chancel, north 
 and south aisles, and a beautiful tower, sunnounted with eight pinnacles, 
 and containing six fine-toned bcUs. The chm-ch has recently oeen repaired 
 and restored ; the west arch ojiened, and a handsome stained glass window 
 put in. On the north side of the church is a beautiful Nonnan doorway. 
 In this parisli the poor have a small portion of land let out to them in 
 gardens. The Hall, C. G. Milnes, Esq., is surromided by neatly laid-out 
 pleasure-grounds. 3 m. further, Gringley-on-the-Hill, anciently called 
 Greenhaledge. Its very description calls it so, fi'om its lofty situation on a 
 lull overlooking the wide extent of Missencar. On this spot are several 
 swelling moun(ls, which, were it not for their size, might be supposed 
 artificial from their very bases. On these, however, have been thrown up 
 three others. They are evidently the remains of Saxon or Danish work, 
 and the part still called the Parks. It has been recorded to have belonged 
 to a Saxon Lord.

 The Eastern Counties Railway offers more advantages to the tourist in the shape of 
 facilities for obsei-ving the landscape 1 han almost any other line ; for, from its construction 
 on a nearly level surface, the traveller's view is not interrupted by long tunnels or 
 intermmablc cuttings, but throughout the whole line he sees the country as well as from 
 a coach road, and hence the alle^'d monotony of the district passed over is compensated 
 for in one most essential ])articular. 
 
 It mU at once be seen that the level nature of this district offered the greatest 
 facilities for the construction of railways, and so early as 1836 Acts of Parliament were

 situated on the Trent — which is here crossed by an elegant bridge of three 
 fine elliptical arches, opened in 1791 — about 21 miles from its junction 
 with the Humber. Such a national outlet on the eastern coast having been 
 considered, in 1840 Gainsborough was constituted a sea-port, and now by 
 means of canals connecting it with the Midland Counties, exports the 
 manufactures of Manchester, Birinmgham, and Sheffield. Area of parish, 
 7,210 A. ; population, 7,860. The town, which consists principally of one 
 long street nmning parallel with the river, is densely built, yet clean, weU- 
 paved, and lighted. Its chui'ch is a modern structm-e, although the tower 
 is said to have been erected by the Knights Templars. The most curious 
 ancient building it possesses, is called " John of Gaunt's Palace ;" but upon 
 what authority we know not. It contains three sides of a quadi-angle, open 
 to the south, and is chiefly composed of oak tunber framing ; its western 
 exterior consists of a stack of huge brick chimnevs ; and at the north-east 
 comer is an embattled tower. On the noi-th side is a building that was 
 fonnerly the chapel; the arches in the hall have niches, containing the 
 figures of kings, warriors, &c. ; and the whole building, though in a ruinous

 obtained for the formation of two distinct lines, one in a northerly direction, towards 
 Cambridge, called the Northern and Eastern ; and the other easterly, towards Colchester, 
 called the Eastern Counties. The Colchester line was partially opened in 1S39, and the 
 Northern and Eastern to Broxboume in ISIO. It soon became apparent that it was the 
 interest of both companies to unite ; an Act was accordingly obtained, and in 1814 they 
 amalgamated, preserving the distinctive title of the Eastern Comities Railways In 
 1845 the Cambridge line had reached Bishop's Stortford, when it was extended to 
 Brandon, and joined to the Norfolk Railway, which carried it on to Norwich. The
 
 110 
 
 LONDON TO YARMOUTH 
 
 Colclu'ster line liad also beeu joined to another coniiiauy, the Eastern Union, and inlSifi 
 it reached Ipswich. Both these lines, however, had been constructed on a j^-uage of 
 live feet, tliffcring from the national luiiforni guage of four feet eight inches and a half, 
 and also from the Great Western's of seven feet. This error, which virtually excludcdthem 
 from the general system of English railways, was quickly perceived, and the guagc 
 reduced to four feet eight inches and a half, that is, the rails were placed three inches 
 and a lialf closer together, and all uew carriages, locomotive engines, and roUiug stock 
 were constructed three inches narrower, and the old ones reduced by the same extent. 
 This, of course, was accomplished at a considerable expense, but with no delay, for so 
 perfect were tlie arrangements, that not a single accident, nor an hour's detention to the 
 traffic, occurred. On the junction with the Norfolk Railway, the traffic thrown upon 
 the Cam])ridge Line was so overwhehning, that the Company really had not sufficient 
 I^lant to carry on tJie business of the line, and some confusion and irregidarity arose. 
 Some early casualties have given the line a most discreditable notoriety, which engendered 
 a sort of mania among the public for exaggerating every trivial irregularity into a most 
 formidable and momentous occurrence, though, in many cases, incidents in every respect 
 similar, and often far more alarming, on other lines, have scarcely been noticed. It will 
 probably astouisli many readers, even old Eastern Counties' travellers, to learn that from 
 a Parliamentary Return dated February 6th, 1851, made to the Commissioners of 
 Railways for the half year ending June 30th, 1850, though 1,537,868 passengers were 
 conveyed over 1,185,628 miles of niilway on the Eastern Counties line, not a single 
 passenger was killed from causes depending upon the Company or its management. The 
 same remark holds good during nearly the last five years, no passenger haviug been 
 deprived of life, excei)t by his own neglect or incaution, since July, 18tt(). There is no 
 other railway in the kingdom of one quarter the length of the Eastern Counties that can 
 say as much. Tliis tlilficidty also was overcome, and there is now no railway in the 
 Avorld where more attention is paid to the comfort of the passenger than on the Eastern 
 Counties. Whatever other faults may be found, this, at all events, must be admitted, 
 that too great praise cannot be awarded to the officers and servants for their civQity to 
 travellers, and for their readiness to give any information required — items not always 
 met with as readily as could be desired on the priucipal lines of railway in England. 
 
 This Company ])ossesses 322 miles of territory, of wluch 228 mUes are its own 
 property. These different Lines are distributed as follows :

 Tlie Company also supplies locomotive power and carriages to the Chesterford aud 
 Newmarket Company. 
 
 Li the construction of these various lines the Company have spent a capital amounting 
 to £12,998,207, raised by means of shares, and the work of the Line is carried on by a 
 staff luunbering 2,933 officers and men, located at 103 stations, forming altogether one of 
 the most important and influential corporations in the country. 
 
 On leaving the Bishopsgate Station, the line for a mile and a half runs on a viaduct 
 of arches level witli the tops of the adjoining houses, passing through a densely popidated 
 neighbourhood till we arrive at the Stratford works, comprising the locomotive engine 
 anct carriage factory, erected at a cost of about £100,000, aud occupying, with its various 
 yards, nearly twenty acres, the engine-room alone covering one acre and a quarter. The 
 extent of the works here may be imagined from the fact that the operations of tlie line 
 are carried on by 203 engines, 161 first-class, 154 second-class, and 161 thii-d-class 
 carriages, 211 horse-boxes, carriage-trucks, and luggage-vans, 2,151 goods-waggons, 679 
 sheep and cattle-waggons, 807 trucks, and 49 breaks, aU of which require periodical 
 repaii's. 
 
 The only embankment of any importance is that of Wendon, which is 70 feet high, 
 and the only tiumels arc at a short distance from Wendon, where the line runs through two ; 
 the first .500 yards loug, and the second 400. And here Ave may observe that tlie 
 constniction of these tunnels affords a striking instance of the perfection to wliich the 
 art of engineering is now Ijrouglit. One tuiuiel was begim at both ends, and so accurately 
 were the" works conducted, that the two borings met each otlier midway to within an 
 inch. — {Ahridged, hy permission, from the " Eastern Counties Railway and Illustrated

 Cambripge. a town of immense antiquity, supposed to have been 
 the ancient Granta of the Romans, is a parliamentary and municipal 
 borough, and market -to^vl^, capital of the county of Cambridge, the seat of 
 one ot the great EugHsh Universities, fomided by Sigebcrt, King of East 
 Angha, in the 7th century. It is situated on both sides of the Cam, and 
 contains an area (comprising li parishes, and extra-parochial districts of 
 the University) of 3,470 a., with a population of 21,453, and 4,797 
 inhabited houses. The town itself is irregularly built, and consists princi- 
 pally of narrow streets, which have little to recommend them ; nevertheless 
 the public buildings of the to^vn are handsome. The churches of St. 
 Mary and Trinity are noble structm'cs ; while the circular church of St. 
 Sepulchre, built after the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, in the reign of 
 Henry I., is a most interesting monument of antiquity. The shire and 
 town halls, the general infirmary, the theatre, the gaol, in the interior of 
 wliich arc the remains of the ancient castle, the houses of industry and 
 correction, founded hy Hobson, the carrier, in the 17th centm-y, the ancient 
 grammar school, national school, numerous alms-houses and other charitable 
 institutions would present considerable claims to the traveller's notice in any 
 other locality ; but the splendour of thii'teen colleges and four halls of the 
 richest architectui'c, of the most noble proportions, and some of them of most 
 extraordinary design and execution, as even to puzzle the scicutilic of this 
 knowing age as to the maimer in which they were perfected, causes all the 
 to^vn and coi-joorate buildings to be throvni into perfect obsciu-ity. The 
 colleges, according to their dates, are as foUow : St. Peter's, or Peter- 
 house, founded A.D. 1257; Clare Hall, 1326; Pembroke HaU, 1347; 
 Caius, 134S ; Trinity Hall, 1350 ; Corpus Christi, 1351 ; King's College,

 Ijridge across the Cam ; Peter-house has a handsome chapel by Wren ; 
 Corpus Chi-isti, distmguished for its noble buildings ; Trinity Hall, a fine 
 library ; King's College possesses a chapel of sm-passing beauty, the roof of 
 which is almost a miraculous piece of architecture, and the like is not to be 
 found in Em-ope ; Queen's has lovely grounds ; Trinity, the largest of all 
 the colleges, and the most magnificent in the whole University, possesses 
 buildings of the grandest and most imposing character. Independently of 
 aU these noble structures, the Senate House, public schools, observatory, 
 the library, the University printmg-office, and the Eitz-noUiam Museum, are 
 strikingly handsome edifices. In 1S47 the total number of members on the 
 boards was 6,(338. Registered electors for the University, which sends two 
 members to Parliament, amoimted in 1S49 to 2,780. Cambridge to^vn also 
 sends two members to Parliament. Registered electors in 1816, 1,831. 
 The total revenue of the colleges amounted, in 1835, to £133,268; while 
 the general income of the University is not suffered to exceed £5,500 per 
 amium. The town is governed by a mayor, aldeiinen, and councillors ; and 
 the corporate revenue in 1847 amounted to £6,456. The executive 
 govenunent of the University is vested in the Chancellor (at present 
 H.R.H. Priace Albert), Vice-ChanceUor, High Steward, Commissary, 
 Proctors, and other ofiicers ; but the internal government of each college 
 is regulated by peculiar statutes ; and the government of the colleges, as a 
 confederation,' lies with the senate, composed of two houses — the members 
 being doctors or masters of arts. Cambridge was the birthplace of the good 
 bishop, Jeremy Taylor, and of Cumberland, the poet. To give merely a list 
 of the illustrious philosophers, statesmen, divines, senators, poets, warriors, 
 and lawyers, who have been educated at this ancient and most distinguished 
 seat of'leaniiug, would tUl several volumes; it sufiices to observe, that 
 Newton and Bacon add the lustre of their names to the noble roU.

 sentative to Parliament. The island, as well as the city, are supposed to 
 derive their name from the quantities of eels wliich abound in tliis part of 
 the coimtrj. The bisho])ric was founded in 1107, on the celebrated Abbey 
 of Ely, wliich was erected by St. Etheldrida, the daughter of a Saxon king, 
 about 673. In 870, it was destroyed by the Danes. The city itself is 
 extremely ancient ; and even the present houses bear all the appearance of 
 antiquity. The cathcdi-al was erected shortly after the commencement of 
 the Norman dynasty, but was not completed imtil some time in the reign of 
 Edward III. It presents almost every description of Saxon, Norman, and 
 Grothic architectm-e ; nevertheless, it has a grand and striking appearance. 
 Its extreme length is 535 feet, by 190 feet in breadth in the transept. In 
 the centre is an octagonal tower, and many interesting monuments attract 
 the stranger's attention. Trinity Church, erected in the early part of the 
 1-ith ceutmy, is a truly superb structiu-e. With the exception of the 
 ecclesiastical buildings, the deanery, formerly the refectory of the old abbey, 
 and a beautiful little chapel appertaining to the same, there are no buildings 
 in the city worthy of particular attention.

 Thetford, a parliamentary and municipal borough and market-town, 
 counties of Norfolk and Suffolk, was the ancient Sitomagus. From its 
 proximity to the North Sea, it was frequently, dui'iug the Octarchy, 
 desolated by the Danes, who having retained possession of the town for 50 
 years, totally destroyed it by fire in the 9th century. In 1004 it sustained 
 a siniilar calamity from their King, Sweyn, who had invaded East AngHa ; 
 and in 1010 it became, for the tliird tinie, the scene of pkuider and con- 
 flagration by these marauders, into whose hands it again fell after a signal 
 victory which tliey had obtained over the Saxons. In the reign of Canute, 
 Thetford mucli declined, but in that of Edward the Confessor, nearly 
 regained its foniier prosperity. In the time of the Conqueror, the episcopal 
 see of North Elmham was transferred here, and hence to Norwich, by 
 Herbert de Losinga, in the following reign ; but Henry YIII. made it the 
 seat of a bishop sidTragan to Norwich, which it continued during his reign. 
 Prom tlie time of Athelstan to tliat of John, here was a mint, in wliieli 
 coins of Edward and Canute M-ere struck. Thetford was also tlie tem- 
 porary residence of Heiu-y I., Hem-y II., Elizabeth, and James I. Elizabeth 
 built a mansion, which is still called the King's House. It was once the 
 ca])ital of the kingdom of East Anglia, and the episcopal seat of the bishopric 
 of Norfolk and Suft'olk. We find also that as late as the 14th centm-y, it 
 possessed between twenty and thirty churches, monasteries, and olher 
 ecclesiastical institutions, tlie remains of which are visible in aU pai-ts of 
 the town. It is situated on the rivers Thet and Little Ouse. Area of

 Edwin and Morear, and the successful foeman of William tlie Conqueror, 
 endeavoured here to rescue from the deep the sinking fortunes of his race 
 and country ; and at last William, Avearied out with the vain contest, conde- 
 scended to treat with the only foeman left on British soil, and the only one 
 whom he had ever failed to reduce. In the baronial wars of Hem-y III.'s 
 reign, the isle was again doomed to become one of the chief scenes of civil 
 strife and its attendant evils ; but in the great contest between Charles 
 and his Parliament, none of its towns sustained a siege, and no battles were

 of Hem-y VIII. by a family named Flowerden, from whom it passed to 
 Lord Cramond, and afterwards to the Prestous, from whom the late 
 unfortunate owner derived the estate. The porch, the large muUioned

 towers of the early Norman period. Here are also places of worsliip for 
 almost every denomination of Dissenters, some of which are fine buildings ; 
 and manv highly interesting remains of monastic and otlier ecclesiastical 
 establishments, of which St. Andi-ew's Hall, now used for public meetings 
 and civic festivities, was formerly a part of a Dominican convent. The 
 castle stands on an eminence in the centre of the city, and consists of a 
 quadraugidar Norman keep, surroimded by thi-ee lines of walls, the river

 the present owner on the left bank of the Yare, at its junction with the 
 Wensum, on the rising ground at three-quarters of a mile distant from both 
 rivers. It is surroimded by forty acres of wood, which forms a great 
 omament to the beautiful valley it overhangs. Near this site are the 
 remains of St. Leonard's Monastery, which was afterwards the residence of 
 the Earl of Sun-ey, when the Duke of Norfolk had his palace in Norwich.

 the river Waveney, by which the town and common is nearly surrounded, ia 
 the form of a horse-shoe, and by which a considerable trade' is carried on in 
 com, malt, flour, and lime. Bigod, Earl of Norfolk, in the reign of Stephen, 
 erected a castle here, which he was accustomed to boast of as impregnable, 
 and is reported by Hollingshead to have made use of this expression : 
 
 " Were I in mr castle of Bungav, 
 Upon the water of Wavenev, 
 I would not set a button by the King of Cocknev." 
 
 On the accession of Henry II., however, this nobleman, who had invariably 
 espoused Stephen's cause, was obliged to give a large sum of money and 
 hostages to save this castle from destruction. Joioiog afterwards in the 
 rebellion of Henry the Second's son against his father, he was deprived of 
 the castle of Bungay, as well as Framlingham ; but these and his other 
 estates and honours were restored to his son and heir, whose posterity 
 enjoved them for several generations ; but in the reign of Henrv m. the 
 castle was demolished. However, on the site, in the reign of Edward I. a 
 mansion was erected, which Roger Bi»od obtained permission to embattle. 
 In 16SS, a fire broke out in an uninhabited house, and the flames spread 
 with such fearful devastation that, with the exception of one small street, 
 the town was reduced to ashes, the records of the castle, and property of 
 the estimated value of £30,000 were destroyed. The remains of the castle 
 have been subsequently converted into cottages, and little more can now be 
 traced of its former extent than some portions of the waUs. Over the river 
 TVaveney, which here forms the Hne of boundarv between the counties of 
 Norfolk and Suffolk, is a handsome bridge. Tte streets are spacious and 
 paved, the houses are in general modem, and the inhabitants are abundantly 
 supplied with excellent water from springs which abound in the neighbour- 
 hood. In the market-place, situated on a gentle rising ground, and consi- 
 dered the handsomest in the county, are two crosses, in one of which fowls 
 and butter are exposed for sale, and in the other com and grain. The top 
 of the former is adomed with a figure of Astrsea, in lead, weighing IS cwt. 
 The theatre is a neat edifice, and the assembly rooms are handsomely fitted 
 up. A botanical society has been institntecL, also reading rooms. There 
 are two churches; that of St. Mary, rebuilt in 1696, with flint and 
 freestone, is a handsome and spacious structure, with a fine tower, and its 
 pillars supporting the roof are remarkable for their lightness and elegance. 
 It contains some interesting monuments. The other church, the Holv 
 Trinity, is a small edifice with a round tower. There was formerly a churcli 
 dedicated to St. Thomas, but of it there are no remains. In 1591 the 
 Rev. Thomas Popeson annexed the vicarage of ILkatshall to the mastership 
 of the grammar school, and founded ten scholarships in Emmanuel College, 
 Cambridge, but they have been subsequently reduced to four. The school 
 also has an endowment of forty acres of land. Ten boys are provided for 
 by this bequest. Near St. iMary's Church are some remains of a Benedictine 
 nunnerv, founded in the reign of Henry 11. by Robert de GlanvUle and his 
 lady, the Countess Gundreda, in honour of the Blessed Virgin and the 
 Holy Cross, the revenue of which at the time of the dissolution was 
 estimated at £62 2s. Id. A few Roman coins, some seals and ancient 
 tokens, have been found. Market -day, Thursday. The fairs are May lith,

 Yarmouth, or Great Yarmouth. A parliamentary and municipal 
 borough, sea-port town, and parish, county of Norfolk. Area of parish, 
 1,270 a.; population, 21,086; area of parHameutary borough, including 
 GoRLESTOX, comity of Suffolk, 3,910 a. ; popidation, 27,500. It sends two 
 members to Parliament. Registered electors (1848), 1,9G0 ; corporation 
 revenue at the same period, £6,630 ; customs' revenue in 1846, £59,784. 
 Registered shipping in 1847, 689 vessels, aggregate burden, 47,321 tons. 
 Yarmouth is situated on a naiTOw slip of laud, lying between the sea and the 
 river Yare, wliich is crossed by a drawbridge communicating with Little 
 Yarmouth, or South To^vn, and Gorleston. In ancient times Yamiouth was 
 surrounded by a moat, and fortified by embattled walls, and is said to owe 
 its origin to the Anglo-Saxons. Near Yannouth, however, are the nuns of 
 Caister Castle, and the Roman station of Garianonum. The to-v\Ti consists 
 of four principal streets, which nin parallel to each other, intersected by a 
 number of alleys, or rows, wliich are said to amount to one hundred aud 
 fifty-six, and so narrow that carts are coustiiicted pm-posely to traverse them. 
 The ancient parish chm'ch of St. Nicholas is one of the largest in England ; 
 it dates from shortly after the commencement of the Norman dynasty. 
 Hei'e are also St. Peter's, a new stnicture in the l\idor style, and St. 
 George's, a handsome edifice, and the remains of religious houses suppressed 
 at the Reformation, as well as chapels and meeting-houses for almost every

 The grounds in front are enibeUislied with extensive plantations, which, 
 together with the tine woods of the park, and the view of the river, 
 produce a charming effect, li m. s. of Bungay are the rvdns of Mettingham 
 Castle. The castle was of quadi-angular form, and, from the present 
 appearance of the gatehouse, and some parts of the walls still standing, 
 must have been an edifice of considerable extent and strength. It was 
 built by John de Norridge, who in the seventeenth year of Edward III. 
 obtained permission to convert his house into a castle, in which he also 
 founded a college or chantry, dedicated to God and the Blessed Vii-giii. 
 The revenues of tliis house at the dissolution were valued at £202 7s. 5d. 
 The shattered walls of this castle are now converted into a farm-house.

 borough gaol, custom-house, the theatre, public warehouses, the suspension 
 bridge over the North Water, and the Nelson column, are all worthy of 
 inspection. The charities of Yarmouth are on a noble scale, and evince the 
 philanthropy of the inliabitants. Among these we may cite Warren's 
 o-eneral reUef fund, a hospital for children, a grammar school, &c. The 
 quay is one of the noblest in the kingdom, upwards of one mile in length. 
 Here are ranges of handsome residences, and the harbour formed by the 
 river is accessible to vessels of 200 tons. Here are also barracks for 1,000 
 men, a pier, and Victoria subm-b, with several public gardens and prome- 
 nade's. Yarmouth exports agricidtural produce, malt, and fish, particularly 
 herrings, to the Mediterranean, the West Indies, &c. It is the principal 
 seat of the heiTing fishery, in which it employs 250 vessels belonging to 
 the port, and about 3,000 'hands in the different departments. Yarmouth is 
 much resorted to as a bathing-place by the residents of Norfolk and tlic 
 adjoining counties, and it is specially remarkable for the surpassing beauty 
 of its female popidation of every rank of life. Yarmouth is the most 
 dangerous coast of England, and "its roads have often been the scene of 
 misfortune to the mariner. The sand-baidis arc, however, carefully marked 
 out by a line of buoys and floatmg lights. In October 1827, duriug a 
 dreadful storm, no less than from ten to twelve vessels were wrecked in 
 these roads in one night.

 The act for the mcorporation of the London and Southampton Railway Company 
 received the royal assent on the 25th of July, 1831 ; and various acts were subsequently 
 passed, authorizing the company to raise sufficient capital to carry out their intentions, 
 as it appears from the history of then- proceedings, that the original estimate fell far short 
 of the expenses actually mcurred. The earth-works, cuttings, &c., were very heavy; 
 the bridges, generally budt of brick, numerous, averaging about two and a quarter per 
 mile, although there is no particular bridge or viaduct thi'oughout the line worthy of 
 especial notice. There are but four tiuuiels, and two archways on the line, beyond 
 Winchlield. Two of the tunnels are at Popham, one at Waller's Ark, and one at 
 Lichfield. Those at Pojiham are each two himdred yards in length, twenty-fnc feet wide, 
 aiul twenty-two feet high ; the Waller's Ark tunnel is five hundred yards, and the 
 Lichfield two hundred yards in length. The line from Vauxhall to Southampton was 
 opened to the public tliroughout on the Uth of May, ISIO, having cost, from the 
 commencement of the undertaking, uji to the 30th of June of the same year (without

 had then decayed, was re-established by Bishop de Lucy. The town was 
 destroyed by tire in 1690 aud 1710, and since then has been nearly destroyed 
 in a similar way. A noble piece of water, covering about 200 acres, to the 
 south-west of the to-\^-n, and which forms the head of the Itehen river, owes 
 its origiu to Bisliop de Lucy, who, iu the time of King Jolm, completed it, 
 and also made the river navigable to Winchester, and thence to South- 
 ampton. Li recompense for this vast and expensive work, the entire 
 royalty of the river, from the head to the sea, and other privileges, were

 capital of England throughout aU the Saxon, Danish, and early Norman 
 dynasties, is well built, lighted, aud paved, and contains many handsome 
 mansions and modern residences, which, with its grand ecclesiatical 
 structures, and ancient edifices ui the by-streets, give it altogether a most 
 venerable and interestmg appearance. It was formerly enclosed by walls, 
 no vestiges of wliich remain, and contauied ninety chm-ches, chapels, and 
 monastic institutions, many of which were suppressed aud destroyed at the 
 Reformation. Winchester has now nine parish chiu'ches, the princijial of 
 which are St. Lawrence, the Mother Church, St. Swithin's, St. Michael's, 'a 
 new stractiu'e, and St. Maurice, wliich was rebuilt in 1 SiO. The south-east 
 quarter of the city is almost exclusively occupied by the cathedral, which, 
 aocordiag to the most learned antiquaries, was founded in the 2nd century. 
 It is a vast struct ure, five hiuidi-ed and forty-five feet in length, two huncked 
 and eight feet broad at the transept, with a nave three hundred and fifty-one 
 feet, aud a choir one hundred and thirty six-feet in length, and a central 
 tower one hundi-ed and fifty feet high. Externally, the whole building is 
 plain and heavy, wil h the exception of the west front, but the interior is 
 magnitieeut. The ashes of many of the kings of Wessex, and the Saxon 
 kings of England repose in carved chests over the choir, aud William Rufus 
 was here interred. The altar-piece, wliich represents the "Raising of 
 Lazarus," is one of the best productions of West. Winchester College, 
 founded by ^A'iUiam of Wykeham, one of the most celebrated public schools 
 in the kingdom, contains some fine buildings, and near it are the remains of 
 the ancient Episcopal Palace, the City Cross, St. John's House, the barracks, 
 fonuerly the palace of the sovereigns of England, who resided here from 
 time to tune uutd the death of Queen Anne ; the assize hall, built on the 
 site of the ancient castle, the guildhall, county gaol, house of correction, 
 and county hospital, are all worthy of notice. Winchester has also a 
 market-house, a theatre, and assembly rooms, many almshouses and other 
 charities, mechanics' institute, pubUc library, and savings' bank. TlierS 
 were formerly four- entrance gates to the city, of which the west gate alone 
 remains, aud in one of its chambers is still preserved the original 
 Winchester bushel of King Edgar, and other Anglo-Saxon standards of 
 jneasure. Near this gate is the public cemetery, wliich was laid out in

 principally in the supply of the necessary articles of life to the neighbouring 
 country, it possesses, however, a considerable silk factory. The chui-ch is a 
 venerable Gothic structure, said to have been erected before the Norman 
 Conquest. The town hall, a modern erection, a free school, hospital, and

 or palace here, and the tradition is supported by the appearance of a large 
 mansion in iiiins, in a vicinity abounding in yew-trees, which appear to liave 
 been assiduously cultivated about his age, for the use of archeiy. The 
 surrounding grounds are laid out in a peculiar manner. In the church is 
 an ancient tondj, with a mutilated effigy of either an ecclesiastic or a lady.

 ment and glue are mauufactuj-ed to a small extent. Robert, Earl of 
 Gloucester, brother of the Empress Matilda, was taken prisoner iu this 
 town, on his fiight from Wmchester. It is said he took refuge in the

 thence in funeral procession through the besieging army, under pretention 
 of her being dead ; but having arrived at a certain distance, she mounted a

 Southampton. A parliamentary and municipal borough, seaport town

 the Southampton "Water. Area of borough and county, 1,970 a.; popula- 
 tion, 27,490. It returns two members to Parliament. Registered electors 
 (1848), 2,258. The entrance to this beautiful town from' the old London 
 Road is by a magnificent avenue of trees, which lead by some very hand- 
 some terraces into its main, or High Street, upwards of a mile m 'length, 
 above and below the Bar, or ancient gate, in the walls formerly 
 enclosing the old town, parts of which stiU exist, and are in a good state of 
 preservation. This is a very handsome street, with excellent shops, many 
 of which are not inferior to those of the first-rate streets of London. The 
 principal public edifices are the audit and custom houses, dock company's 
 office, the assembly rooms, pul^lic batlis, theatre, the cavalry barracks, a!nd 
 the town haU over the Bargate. Among the public institutions we may 
 cite the free grammar school, founded hj Edward VI., a hospital of 
 Hem-y III.'s time, several almshouses, and other charities, a royal humane 
 society, an infirmary, botanic garden, with a mechanics', and literary and 
 polytechnic institutions. Here are also several churches, some of which 
 are of considerable ant iquity. Since the formation of the new docks at the 
 east end of the town, Soutliampton has assumed a commercial importance

 possessor purchased it from a descendant of Oliver Cromwell ; and tradition 
 states he made a vow, that because it had belonged to the Cromwells, 
 " he would not let one stone or brick remain upon another, even to the 
 foundations." In pulling down the old house, in one of the walls was found 
 the dye of a seal, which, being very iiisty, was supposed to be a Roman 
 weicrht. When cleaned, however, it proved to be the seal of the Common- 
 wealth of England, and the artist, Vertue, who saw it in the year 1760, 
 considered it to be the identical seal which Oliver took from the Parlia- 
 ment.

 could be ensured at all times of the tide for ships of the liea^aest burthen, 
 we cannot doubt that it would speedily become the most flourishing seaport, 
 and the safest harbom- in the British dominions. The docks in question were 
 opened in 1S42, they contain an area of 208 a., and are capable of receiving 
 steam-vessels of upwards of 700 tons bui-den. Southampton is the station 
 for the West India, INIediterranean, and other mads, and it communicates 
 by steam with all the southern ports of England, the Channel Islands, and 
 Ireland, and by railway with the whole interior of the country. The port 
 extends from near Portsmouth to Christchurch. In 1845, 707 ships of 
 150,826 tons burden entered, and 708 of 149,308 tons bm-deu cleared out 
 of the port, and in the same year British and Irish produce to the amount 
 of £1,475,105 was exported. Registered shipping of port in the year 1847, 
 4,965 tons. Corporation revenue in 1847, £8,934. The mildness and 
 salubrity of the air, the beauty of its position, the picturesque sceneiy of 
 its envii-ons, all combme to render Southampton one of the most delightful 
 places of resort on this part of the coast of England : the Soutliamptou 
 Water covered with shipping, and the shores lined with beautiful parks 
 and noble manions. There are aiuiual races, and a regatta. Markets, 
 Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. The station of the South- Western 
 Railway at Southampton is a very neat elevation, replete with accommoda- 
 tion for the public.

 Soon after leaving Redbridge we enter the precincts of the New Forest, 
 interestmg not only in itself, but also from its liistorical associations. That 
 this was a woody tract previous to its aiforestation by the Conqueror may 
 be inferred from its ancient name Itexe, or Y Thexe. The forest, accord- 
 ing to its earliest boundaries, included the whole of that part of Hampshire 
 M'hich lies between the Southampton river on the cast, the British Chamiel 
 on the south, and the river Avon on tlie west. Li the reign of Charles II. 
 the forest was limited to about 92,365 acres. The scciiery of the New 
 Forest affords as great a variety of beautiful landscape perhaps as can be 
 met ^\"ith in any part of England. Its woody scenes, its extended laMTis, 
 and vast sweeps of wild country unlimited by artificial boundaries, together 
 with its river views and distant coasts, arc all in a great degree magnificent.

 which has very little trade, is its splendid old chiu'ch, formerly collegiate, 
 from which it derives its name. It was founded in the early Saxon period, 
 but was rebuilt in the 11th centm-y. It displays different styles of 
 architecture, a finely carved altar-piece, and several handsome chapels. 
 Near the town there are remaras of a Roman encampment, and on a cliff

 river Stour. It was nearly destroyed by an accidental fire, in 1579, but 
 was soon after rebuilt. Diu-ing the civU war, in the reign of Charles I., it 
 was plundered by the parliamentary forces, and alternately possessed by 
 each party in 1677 and 1713. It again suffered greatly from fire in 1731, 
 and was entirely destroyed with the exception of forty liouses. Bryansfon

 Poole Jauctiou. This station stands about two miles from the town of 
 Poole, to which there is a shoii branch from the main line from South- 
 ampton to Dorchester, and as it extends no fiu-ther, we shaU here describe 
 it. Poole is a sea-port town, a parhamentar^ and municipal borough, and 
 a coimty of itself, in the county of Dorset, situated on a peninsida, on the 
 north side of Poole Harbom-, which is an inlet in the Eng-lish Channel, 
 six miles in length, and four in breadth, having the Isle of Pm'beck on the 
 south. At the entrance of the harbom-, a quarter of a mile across, is a 
 shifting sand bar, Anth only fifteen feet of water at high tide, near to which 
 are some large oyster beds. Here also the tide ebbs and flows twice in the 
 twelve hoiu-s. the area of to\ra, county, and parish, 170 a. ; area of parha- 
 mentary borough, 6,040 a. It sends two members to Parliament ; registered 
 electors (ISIS), 522 ; corporate revenue (1847), £1,908 ; customs' revenue 
 (1846), £S,S56; registered sliipping of port (1847), 13,715 tons. The 
 town, which was formerly but a poor and mean place, has been much 
 improved by the modern houses. The prhicipal buildings are a new chxu-ch, 
 a chapel of ease, and Dissenting chapels, the guildhall, gaol, custom house, 
 exchange, union workhouse, and library. Here are spacious quays, near 
 to which vessels not ckawiug more than fourteen feet, can anchor. The 
 trade is chiefly coastuig, with exports of corn to London, and large quan- 
 tities of Purbeck clay to the potteries in Staffordshire. Poole has also a 
 considerable trade with our North American colonies. HoUy Cottage,

 lation, 2,746 ; area of parliamentar^y borough, comprismg Corfe Castle, 
 Bere Regis, &c., 22,890 a.; popidation, 6,646. It sends one member to 
 Parliameut, ^dth Corfe Castle ; registered electors (1S4S), 424. The town, 
 which is suiTOunded by an embankment, is regularly built, and the space 
 between the rampart and the streets is occupied by garden grounds, the 
 surplus produce of Mhich is sent to Poole Here are also traces of 
 ancient buildings. The chui'ch, a very tme old edifice, a free and other 
 endowed schools and charities, almshouses, and the union workliouse, are 
 the principal public bmldings. Manufactures of straw plait, hosiery, and 
 slm-t-])uttons, are here carried on, and inunense quantities of pipe-clay is 
 exported ; l)ut in consequence of the shallowness of the water, the harbour 
 being accessible only to small craft, its trade has greatly decHned.

 It is a noble pile, situated on an eminence in the south-east corner 
 of an extensive park, which occupies a cu'cumference of nearly 42 miles, 
 surromided by a stone wall upwards of 8^ feet high. It commands a 
 fine view of the sea from an opening in the hills, as weU as an extensive 
 prospect of the adjoining country. The castle is an exact cube of 80 feet, 
 and has a Roman tower at each corner 30 feet in diameter, and rising 
 16 feet above the walls, wliich, as well as the towers, are embattled. The 
 walls are 6 feet thick. The house has tlu-ee stories, but the tower has four. 
 In each front are three rows of four windows. In the towers are four rows 
 of three each, exclusive of the offices. A little beyond the castle is the

 and Weymouth. The towns of Melcombe Regis and Weymouth were 
 united into one in the reign of EUzabcth, to terminate a long and prejudicial 
 rivalry for the exclusive possession of the harbour, of which each place 
 forms the opposite boundary. Weymonth was probably known to the 
 Romans, as there are traces of a vicinal way from Maiden Castle to the 
 via Iccniana, where the town of Melcombe Regis now stands. A grant 
 was made by Athclstan, in 938, to the abbey of Melton, of " aU that water 
 witliin the shore of Waymouth, and half the stream of that Waymouth out 
 at sea a saltern, &c," and it is noticed also at the C(mqncst. This port, in 
 1588, contributed six ships to oppose the Spanish Armada; and one of the 
 enemy's vessels having been taken in the Channel, was brought into the 
 harbour. In the reign of Edward I. Melcombe became the dowry of Queen 
 Eleanor, on which account it obtained many valuable and extensive privi- 
 leges ; and in the reign of Edward III. it was a very important place. In

 The present mansion was rebuilt in the time of Charles I., the former 
 mansion lia\Tug been burnt by the King's forces of that date, the then 
 projirietor, Sir Walter Erie, Knight, being a Parliamentarian, and a member 
 of the Long Parliament, having sat for the borough of Wareham. He 
 commanded the Parliamentary forces at the taking of Corfe Castle, which 
 place was gallantly defended by the Lady Bankes. In one of the cellars is 
 a principal beam 'brouo-ht from Corfe Castle at that date. The present 
 mansion has been modernised by the late Richard Erie Drax Grosvenor, 
 Esq., under the direction of Mr. Nash, and the present proprietor has 
 made considerable additions, having bmlt a picture-gallery, and formed an 
 armory. In the pleasui-e-grouuds there is a grotto, memorable for the 
 meeting of certain patriotic gentlemen who assembled there ta the year 
 16S8 to arrange the expidsion of King James II., and the bringing over of 
 Ktug William III. On the borders of the park, and towering above the 
 woods, is situated a very handsome Gothic tower, 120 feet in height, built 
 by the present proprietor, who iias also added much to the beautifying of 
 the place by the enlargement of the park, wlueh he was enabled to do by 
 the formation of a new timipike road from Wimbome to Dorchester, 
 plaimed and completed through his instrumentality in the years 1841 and

 collegiate chiu'ch which nearly adjoins its southern front. The mansion, 
 with its ofiices, form foui* sides of a quadrangle, and is cased with a fine 
 white stone. There is on the south side of the abbey a venerable old

 Dorchester, the capital of county of Dorset, was the Dvu-noratra of the

 vicinity of the town, consisting of two strongly-entrenched stations, and the 
 amphitheatre of Maumbury, considered to be the most perfect in the 
 British empire, are particularly worthy the traveller's attention. Dorchester 
 is a parliamentary and municipal borough, and is situated on the right bank 
 of the river Frome. Ai-ea of borough, comprising three parishes, 1,870 a. 
 It sends two members to Parliament. Registered electors (1848), 396; 
 corporation revenue (1846), £259. It is one of the prettiest towns in 
 England, being generally well built, with some particularly handsome 
 structures, wliSe the principal, or High Street, contains many excellent 
 shops ; added to tliis, the beautiful avenues which surround the upper parts 
 of the town are delightfid public walks, not unlike the boulevards which 
 enclose the continental towns. Dorchester has three chiu'ches. That of 
 St. Peter is a very ancient edifice, with mouiuneuts and stained glass 
 windows worthy of particular notice. It contains also a fine town hall, and

 Tlie Brighton Station is situated to the south of the South-Eastem Terminus, 
 opposite the back buildings of St. Thomas's Hospital, and is altogether a distinct 
 building from the Dover Station. It consists of a basement story, the centre of which 
 recedes, having an octagonal advancuig wing or tower at each end, between which is 
 carried a wooden awning, or portico, supported by iron brackets, to protect the 
 passengers from the rain while alighting from their carriages, &c. The booking office is 
 a fine lofty room, but of in-egidar form, off which is a refreshment room, fitted up in the 
 style of a handsome Loudon coS"ee-house. The cloak room is in one of the M-iugs to 
 which we have adverted. There is no doubt that there are handsomer terminal stations 
 than that which is devoted to this important railway, but it answers the purpose for 
 which it was intended, as weU as if it vied in splendour with tlie noble hall of the 
 Euston Station. The passengers' arrival and departui-e platforms about seven hundred 
 feet in length, are covered with a wooden roof, through which light is admitted by 
 rough plate-glass, ia sheets of ei^ht feet long, and three feet sis inches ^^-ide ; and it may 
 be justly obscned that this, by far the most essential portion of a railway station, both 
 as regards the convenience of the passengers, and the requisite space for the engines 
 and carnages, covering nearly ten acres of ground, appears to be admii'ably constructed 
 by the company's engineer, R. Jacoml) Hood, M.I.C.E., who has evidently, and 
 greatly to his credit, consulted the utile, rather than the dulce, which latter is only 
 another word for extravagant outlay. 
 
 The works upon the first portion of this railway as far as Croydon are not of any 
 great importance m point of constructive difficulty, as the Une followed the general 
 direction of the old canal, which was purchased by the Croydon Railway Company. 
 The New Cross Cutting was the cliief earth-work, the quantity of earth removed 
 amoimting to upwards of half a milLion cubic yards, a portion of which was applied to 
 the formation of the embankment between New Cross and the Greenwich Junction. 
 Between the London Station and Croydon there are eighteen bridges, independently of 
 the A^aduct adjoining the Greenwich Railway, and six large culverts, the chief of which 
 are at New Cross and Sydenham. Six of the bridges over the railway are of novel 
 design, and present a light and elegant appearance. That over the Une at Eorcst Hill

 may be cited as an illustration. It consists of seven segmental arches ; the central one 
 over the railway is of thirty feet span, and twenty-seven feet six inches high, the 
 abutment arches bemg each of twelve feet span, and of correspondent height to the 
 soffits. The novelty consists in the main arch springing from the pier of the two 
 adjoining arches on each side, instead of from its o^vn, the spancUils above the haimches 
 being left open. 
 
 The bridge at New Cross is constructed of cast-iron ribs, seciu'cd by wrought-ii'on 
 ties, and has a very neat appearance. Here is the locomotive station of the Brighton 
 and Dover Companies ; the buildings are said to have cost upwards of £60,000. From 
 Croydon to the terminus at Brighton, the earth-works, from the undulating surface of the 
 country, assume a different character, amounting to no less than 6,861,683 cubic yards, 
 bemg at the rate of 156,000 cubic yards per mile, exclusive of the tunnels. 
 
 the number of bridges over and under the railway from Croydon to Brighton 
 amoimts to runety-nine, almost all of which are built of brick, with ckessings of stone 
 brought from the Heddon quarries, near Newcastle-upon-Tyne, the arches over the 
 railway being aU thii-ty feet span, and sixteen feet high. The principal tunnels <u-e at 
 Mersham, Balcombe, and Claylou HUl. Mersham Tiumel, one huncked and eighty feet 
 in depth from the siuiace in the deepest part, is through chalk, which \^as raised to 
 the surface of the ground by double horse-gins, one at the top of each, of twelve 
 vertical shafts, from whence the skiffs were moved on small tmcks by means of 
 tramways. The length of tliis tunnel, one thousand eight hundred and twenty yards, 
 wiU alone give an idea of the enormous labour expended upon its construction. 
 
 The Balcombe Tunnel, which is situated about thii'ty-four miles from London, is 
 one thousand one hundred and twenty yards in length, and the difficulties attending its 
 constmction may be imagmed fi-om the report of ]\Ir. Rastrick, who described the groiuul 
 as very treacherous, requii-ing great caution on the part of the miners in working it, as 
 " it swells and effloresces as soon as exposed to the air." 
 
 The Clayton Hill Tunnel, about forty-three miles from London, is a work of 
 extraordinary magnitude, the very contemplation of which would have alarmed the 
 architects and engineers of antiquity. It is two thousand two hundred and forty yards

 in length, passing tlirough the whole range of the South Down Hills in the direct line 
 to Brighton. 
 
 The Patchani Tunnel, near Brighton, is insignificant when compared with those we 
 have enumerated, as it is only four hundred and eighty yards in length. 
 
 The principal Embankments are those of Earl's Wood Common, about twenty-three 
 miles from llu; Loiulon Bridge Station, and Yale Pool. 
 
 The largest Viaduct is over the Ouse VaUey, just beyond the Balcombe Station, about 
 thii'ty-five miles from London. It is one of the most magnificent undertakings of this 
 
 ILcft of IBlailinao from 5Lonti0n, 
 
 The ground about here is in the occupation of market-gardeners, and 
 from hence the Borough Market receives its principal supply of veget- 
 ables. 
 
 1 m. Lewisham. The name is a slight corruption of the Saxon, Lewis 
 Ham, or dwelling among the meadows, and anciently written Levisham. 
 Here was a Benedictine priory, subordhiate to the abl)ey of St. Pilu, in 
 Ghent, and most probably fomided in the Saxon times, this manor ha\'ing 
 been given to King Elfruda, nephew to King Alfred. The vUlage, which is 
 situated on the river Ravensbourne, extends some distance along the 
 Tunbridge Road, contams one principal street, and many pretty sul)url)au 
 residences. It is celebrated for its inineral springs. The waters, which are 
 of mild cathartic quality, nearly resemble those of Epsom. Lewisham 
 confers the inferior title of Viscoiuit on the Earl of Dartmouth, who is Lord 
 of the Manor, and who holds by his steward a ]\Iauorial Court once a year.

 1^ m. N.w. DuLwicH. At which is Godchffe College, founded in 1619, 
 by Edward AUeyne, Esq. The building is cliiefly in the EHzabethau style, 
 and occupies two-thirds of a quadi-angle, of wliich the chapel constitutes 
 one. The east wing was rebuilt in 1740, of red brick, ornamented vnth 
 stone, and contains a school room, and apartments for the fellows. The 
 opposite wing comprises the library, and apartments for scholars. The 
 altar-piece in the chapel is ornamented with a fine picture of the Ascension, 
 presented to the college by Mr. HaU ; and in front of the chancel is a black 
 marble slab, covering the tomb of the fomider, who was buried ia the 
 chapel. An extensive collection of pictures was bequeathed to the college 
 by Sir Francis Bourghers in 1811, for the reception of which a handsome 
 gallery has been erected at the south end of the college. Visitors are 
 admitted by tickets, which can be procured from the principal pruitsellers 
 in London. 
 
 li m. w. Norwood. This village derives its name from an adjacent 
 wood, which borders on a common formerly well known as the haunts of 
 gipsies. Its elevated situation, the beauty of the surrounding scenerjr, and 
 the salubrity of the atmosphere, have of late years caused the erection of 
 many elegant seats in the vicinity. The Beidah Spa, a spring discovered in 
 1827, is held in some estimation. Hill Lodge, B. D. Colvin, Esq. ; The

 greater part of the old budding, wluch stood in a low situation, reserving 
 only the north end for his farm." It stands on a hill, commanding beautiful 
 and extensive prospects, and is justly considered one of the handsomest 
 houses in the county of Surrey. The architecture is striking, thoudi not 
 perfectly regular, and the walls of the principal rooms are painted by the

 Shoreham Castle, by some improperly called Lullingstone Castle. The 
 demesne is now a farm. The farm-house appears to have been constructed 
 of the materials of the fortress, which was in ruins in Leland's time. 
 Phillpott says this castle, if not built by, was certainly very anciently in the 
 possession of the faimly of Aldliam, one of which resided in this place in the

 estate for £35,000, and was subsequently sold by liis nephew, to form the 
 palace of the Archbishop of Canterbury, instead of rebuilding the old one at

 spandi'ds of lancet-pointed open work, springing from buttresses, the 
 interstices of which are filled with light tracery of stone. This arcade is 
 terminated by two small turrets, rising above the embattled parapet, wliieh

 Croydon, a market-town, county of Surrey. Area of parish, 940 a. ; 
 population, 16,712. It is a very old town, built on the site of the ancient 
 Noviomagus, and alternately with Guildford the seat of the county assizes. 
 It has also a county court and petty sessions, and is the place of 
 election of members for East Surrey. The town is well built, and con- 
 tinually increasing, the situation being salubrious, and its conununication 
 with the metropolis so rapid. Its principal public buildings are the town 
 hall, poultry market-house, gaol, union workhouse, and its various places of 
 worship. The chui'ch is a spacious structm-e, in which arc the tombs of 
 several archbishops of Canterbury, whose archiepiscopal palace is ki the 
 vicinity of the town. Independently of the Trinity Hospital for forty 
 poor persons, with a revenue of £2,000 per amium, there are some alms- 
 houses, and other charities, producing £500 per amimu, and several public 
 schools, including Archbishop Tennison's for thirty chilcbeu, and one 
 belongiiig to the Society of Friends. Croydon has a considerable trade in

 a square, but the interior of the north wing having been bui-nt soon 
 afterwards, it was never restored. Tlie centre is a large and lofty hall, 
 with a noble Gothic roof of wood. The great door has a curious ancient 
 lock, very richly wi-ought, a shield ^vith the arms of England, which moves 
 in a grove, concealing the key-hole. The old mansion was buUt in the 16th 
 century, by Sir Francis Carew, who expended vast sums of money in 
 laying out the gardens and grounds, and is said to have first planted the 
 orange-tree in England. In August, 1599, Queen Elizabeth passed three 
 days here on a visit to Sir Francis. The orangery at Bediiigton was long 
 famous. In 1691 it was described as above 200 feet in length, most of the 
 trees being 13 feet high, and that in the pre^aous year the gardener had 
 gathered from them 10,000 oranges. Bedington House, Sir Henry Bridges.

 of General Burgoyne, and the grounds improved with beautiful plantations, 
 made out of a part of the comnion, which was enclosed for that purpose, 
 nearly thi-ee miles in circumference. The huvn is remarkable for the beauty

 Brighton, or Brightelmstone. Supposed to have been a Roman 
 station, is said to have derived its name from Brichtelm, a son of Cissa, 
 the first King of Sussex. In the middle of the last centm-y it was but an 
 insignificant fisliing village; it is now a parliamentary borough, sea-port 
 town, and parish, and one of the most fashionable watering-places in 
 England. Many of its streets, squares, crescents, &c., vie in point of 
 elegance and architectm-al taste with the most aristocratic parts of the 
 metropolis, while its shops display every article of fasliiou and luxury that 
 can be found in the grand emporiums of Regent Street, and other great 
 thoroughfares of London. It owes its origin as a place of resort, and its 
 magnificence as a splendid city (in aU but the name), to the long-continued 
 favoui- of George IV., who, when Prince of Wales, erected the oriental 
 palace or pavilion wliich, with its gardens, occupies so conspicuous a 
 portion of the valley in wliich it is situated. Brighton is sheltered on the 
 north and north-east by the South Downs, and extends along the sea-shore 
 for nearly tliree miles, the frontage to the ocean bemg defended by a high 
 sea wall, which forms a beautiful promenade. Area of parish, 1,980 a. 
 It is difficult to give a very accurate estimation of its population, as it is 
 subject to continual fluctuation ; but in 1811 it amounted to 46,730, while 
 the ascertained population of the parliamentary borough was 48,567. It

 Scientific Institution. With the exception of the fisheries, which employ 
 about 150 boats, chiefly for the London markets, Brighton has only a retail 
 trade for the supply of its inhabitants and visitors, but its Tlim-sday

 within the memory of man, is said to be due to the patronage bestowed 
 upon it by George III. The air is exceedingly mUd, and the sands along 
 tlie shore form a delightful promenade of several miles. The mns are 
 excellent, and the modem buildings towards the village of Broadwater 
 display considerable taste and elegance. The parish of Broadwater has an 
 area of 2,240 a., with a population, including Worthing, 5,345. Its

 Chichester Harbour, about two miles from the city, is formed out of a 
 creek, or inlet, in the EngKsh Chamiel, the entrance to which is both narrow 
 and dangerou.s, and can only be entered at a certain time of the tide. 
 In this creek are situated Hay ling and Thorney Islands. At low water 
 it forms a vast area of many thousands of acres of nmd, the e{flu\-ia from 
 which in the summer season is far from conducive to health, and renders 
 this part of the country from Chichester to the vicinity of Portsmouth 
 very insalubrious. 
 
 6 m. s. Selsea. It is an island, or more properly, peninsula, being a 
 considerable flat tract of land which runs far into the sea, so as to be 
 surrounded at high-water on all sides but the west. There is a feny a little 
 below Sidlesham, and a good road at low water, with a small bridge across 
 the narrow stream. This place is remarkable as having been originally an 
 episcopal see. After its removal to Chichester, the Bishop continued to 
 have a mansion and park here, no traces of wliich are now left ; but at the 
 begimiiiig of Elizabeth's reign, by virtue of an act empowering the Queen 
 to take into her hands certain of the temporal possessions of any see that 
 should become vacant, making compensation for the same with parsonages 
 impro])riate and tithes, Selsea, with seven other manors, was separated 
 from the estates belonging to the bishops. The chiu'ch is situated at the 
 north-east corner of the peninsula, nearly two miles from the vUlage. It is an 
 ancient building, and appears to have once been larger thau at present. At 
 the west are some ruins, which arc said to have formed part of a tower 
 begun some years ago, but the design was relinquished. In the midcUe 
 aisle are several ancient coffin-shaped stones, two of which have crosses or 
 pilgrims' staves upon them. Near the churchyard are the marks of some

 doorway, over which are balustrades, and a large circular-headed window. 
 The pediment which crowns this division bears in its tympan the arms of 
 the Biddulph family. The whole front is in five divisions, upon a rusticated 
 basement, with a bold blocked cornice sm-mounting the principal story, 
 upon which is the ckawing-room and the saloon. The situation of this 
 mansion is one of great beauty, m the midst of a large park, picturesquely

 Chichester is a city and county of itself, a parhamentary and 
 miuiicipal borough, capital of the county of Sussex. Area of city liberty, 
 1,680 a.; population, 8,.512 ; population of parliamentary borough, 8,084. 
 It sends two members to Parhament. Registered electors (1848), 789. 
 Chichester is surrounded by Roman walls, which are now formed into public 
 promenades, and planted \vith trees. Many Roman coins, and other 
 antiquities, have been discovered in the city and suburbs, and it is supposed 
 to have been the Regnum of that people. It was partially destroyed a.d. 
 491 by the East Saxons, under EUa, but rebuilt by his son Cissa (from 
 whom it derives its name), and was constituted by him the capital of the 
 kingdom of Sussex, and so continued until its conquest by the West Saxons. 
 Without pretending to magnificence beyond its ecclesiastical buildings, 
 Chiclicster is a clean, and neatly-bidlt crucilbrm city, well di-aiued, paved and 
 lighted. The market and council houses, corn exchange, gaol, uiiirmary,_ 
 the guildhaU (part of an ancient priory within an enclosure), the hospital of 
 St. Mary, abnshouses, grammar school with a revenue of £1,300 per 
 annum, blue-coat, Lancasterian, national, and other schools, with the 
 mechanics' institute, and the Uterary and philosophical society, are its 
 princi])al public builcUngs. In the centre of the city, from whence diverge 
 the foiu- streets of which it is composed, stands 'its beautifid octagonal 
 cross, erected in 1478. The cathedi-al is a plain structure in comparison 
 with the general character of such buildings in this country, but it is 
 nevertheless a most interesting fabric. It was built in the 13th and 14th 
 centuries, and is 410 feet in length, and 227 feet in extreme breadth, having 
 a iiolilc spire 300 feet high. Although the interior is plain, tlie choir is 
 very richly and elaborately adorned, and, amongst other curiosities, arc the

 first monastery founded in this county, the charter of which was given by 
 Adelwalch, King of Sussex, aud included the whole peninsula, with part of 
 the luuidred of Slanwode. This monastery for canons regular was dedicated 
 to St. Peter, and was erected on the south-east side, and contiguous to the 
 spot where the parish chmxh now stands. The remains of this builduig, 
 and the adjoining city, according to Camden, " are visible at low water, 
 the sea having here encroached considerably upou the land." About a 
 mile and half out at sea there are several places having rocks, or the ruins 
 of buildings under water. The best anchoring off the island is, to this day, 
 called the Park, and the rocks between the islands and the shoals farther 
 out, bear the name of The Streets, where a tomb-stone, with an inscription, 
 is said to have been a few yeai's since picked up by some fishermen.

 become a po])idous and thriving town. It is neatly built, and contains a 
 church, in the Norman style of architecture, with two towers at the west 
 end, and surrounded with octagonal turrets, terminating iu low spires. It 
 has several vessels employed in the coasting trade, aud a considerable

 PoKTSMOUTH. This principal naval station of England is a parliamentary 
 and municipal borongli, and sea-port town, in the hmicked of Portsdo-mi, the 
 county of Hants, situated at the south-west extremity of Portsea Island, at 
 the entrance of its noble harbour. Ai-ea of parish, 110 a. ; population, 9,354 ; 
 ai'ea of borough, including the town aud parish of Portsea, 5,090 A; popu- 
 lation, 53,027. It sends two members to Parliament; registered electors 
 (] S4S), 2,189, aud is a polling-place for the south division of the county. 
 The town is enclosed by bastioned ramparts, faced with masonry, surrounded 
 by deep trenches and extensive outworks, and entered by four gates, with 
 drawbridges, &c., forming in every respect a perfect fortress. In the main,or 
 High Street, which is generally well biult, is the governor's liouse, and 
 several excellent hotels ; and amongst the principal Ijidlduigs we may 
 enumerate the church, a spacious structure, with a cupola, several Dissenting 
 chapels, the new market-house, town hall, and gaol, the garrison, mariue 
 and other barracks, the theatre, assembly and ball-rooms, new almshouses, 
 PhUosopliical Society's rooms, &c. The by-streets generally are mean and 
 ill-biult, and in that which leads to the Point are many low public-houses 
 for the accommodation of sailors and boatmen. At the Point is the station 
 of the floating-bridge, which connects Portsmouth -^ath the opposite to\n\ of 
 Gosport. The ramparts roimd the town are well planted -with trees, and 
 form an agreeable promenade, from which the views of Spitliead, the Isle of 
 Wight, Southsea (now a fashionable watering-place), its castle, and Cimiber- 
 laud Port, with the continual movement of Britain's bulwarks to and from 
 the harbour, are truly picturesque and beautiful. Portsea, which is a

 The new Terminus of the South-Eastern Railway at London Bridge has lately been 
 opened. It occupies the central portion of the main building. The elevation is in the 
 Italian style, and consists of tln-ee stories, terminating with an ornamental cornice, and 
 surmount^ed by a clock, set in a frame of cement decorations. Ai-ound the station is a 
 covered way, on iron columns, which is glazed to the extent of the pat]iM\ay in order to 
 give light to the rooms on the ground floor ; and a portion of the covering extends beyond 
 the pathway, as a furtlier protection to tlie passengers agaiust rain in setting down. 
 
 The departure and arrival platforms have a wooden roof, between seven hundred 
 and eight himdrcd feet iu length, and nearly one hundred feet span. A considerable 
 portion of the covering is of rough plate glass, in sheets eight feet long, and thi-ee feet 
 six inclies wide, the spaces between the plates being plastered and panelled. 
 
 On the left-hand side of the approach to the station is a covered passage, similar to 
 the Lowther Arcade in the Strand, with shops, and a lar^e refreshment-room in the 
 centre of the thoroughfare which fronts the termiims. This building, which is nearly 
 two hundi'ed feet in length, has its basement in Tooley Street, whence it rises about sixty 
 feet, divided into three stories, the upper elevation forming the arcade on a level with the 
 railway, the lower part in Tooley Street forming a range of ordinary shops. The Arcade 
 is also finished with a bold cornice, and its western extremity surmounted by a clock 
 similar to the one over the centre of the main building. 
 
 This Company, as far as Rcigate, use the same line as that to Brighton. From 
 Reigate the South-Eastern diverges to tlie left tln-ough a deep cutting in a sand hdl, aud 
 soon reaches Bletchingly Tunnel, one tliousand and eighty yards in length. Near 
 Tunbridge is the central station, covering twelve acres of land. The cutting of the 
 Tunbridgc Wells Tunnel is through a very remarkable strata, which may l)e called a 
 geological plienomeua. It sliows, first, a bed of sandy brown clay, passhig into a dark 
 blue clay, divided by sand and ironstone. Near a spring there is a thin land of limestone 
 containing fossils. Passing through tlie tunnel, alternate beds of clay and sandstone

 subm-b of Portsmoutli, and is only separated from it by the MUl-Dam 
 Creek, is also enclosed within an additional line of fortifications. Here is 
 the grand naval dock-yard, with its splendid wet and dry docks, basins, 
 warehouses, iron and copper mills, block and rope houses, anchor forges, 
 with all conveniences for the construction and outfit of sliips of war. The 
 yard contains also the residence of the Port Admiral, the Royal Naval 
 College, and a chapel, and building docks for war-steamers are in 
 course of construction at the north-east of the yard. The Gun-Wharf, or 
 Arsenal, with its large artillery and ammunition stores, and the quays 
 bordering on the harbour stand between the dock-yard and Portsmouth. 
 At Landport, also a suburb within the borough, are the Tipner and Hilsea 
 barracks. Portsea has a free grammar school, a mechanics' institution, 
 St. Paixl's Academy, female penitentiary, a general hospital, and savuigs' 
 bank. Steam packets ply several times a day between Portsmouth and 
 the Isle of Wight ; and there is a regular communication also by steamers 
 with Southampton, Plymouth, Dubhn, and Havre. Portsmouth Harbour 
 is only 220 yards wide at its entrance, but within it the whole navy of 
 Britain may ride iii safety. It is about four miles long, and in one place 
 extends to a width of nearly five, but is much narrower in general. The 
 trade of Portsmouth consists chiefly in imports of coal, cattle, corn, sheep, 
 and provisions from Ireland, with wine and timber from abroad. Registered

 forty-second mile more black vegetable clay rests upon sandstone, quarried for buildings. 
 The strata here changes from an angular to a dome-like appearance, when they abruptly 
 end at what geologists call "a fault." The sand rocks are gone, and their places 
 fiUed with clay. The depth, the contortions of the strata, and various colours of sand 
 and clay, make tlris perhaps the most interesting of aU railway cuttuigs. 
 
 The situation of the Tunbridge Wells Station is remarkable, being constructed in the 
 centre of the natural basin in which the town is buUt, and is approached each way by- 
 tunnels ; in fact, the station may be said to be situated iii the centre of a tunnel, which 
 in the low ground approaches so near the siuface as to allow the station being made. 
 
 At Ashford are the workshops of the Company. These consist of the large engine- 
 shed, two hundred and eight feet long, by sixty-four feet wide. The total length of the 
 workshop is three himcb-ed and ninety-six feet. The engine repaii-ing shop is two hundred 
 and fifty four feet long, by forty-five feet wide ; the large crane, capable of Uftiiig twenty 
 tons, traverses over this part. The machine-shop, or tuimery, is one hundi-ed and forty- 
 two feet long, by forty-five feet wide. Over the engine-house, which adjoins this part of 
 the building, is a tank holding 54,700 gallons of water. The tender-shop is seventy-two 
 feet long, by forty-five feet wide. The smiths' shop is one hundred and seventy -four feet 
 long, by forty-five feet wide, and contains twenty fires. The wheel-hooping and boiler- 
 shop is one hundi-ed and forty-two feet long, by sixty feet wide ; it contams the furnaces 
 for bending, and a hydraulic press for stretching the tires, besides several smiths' 
 fires. The wliole of these buddings are twenty-eight feet high. The length of the 
 carriage and truck-house is six hundred and forty-five feet, capable of holding fifty 
 carriages and eighty trucks. The store-room is two hundred and sixteen f(;et long, by

 Although not exactly within the scope of oui- work, we may be allowed here to refer 
 to the advantages derived by travellers to the continent from the exertions of this Com- 
 pany to render the harbom- of Folkestone availa])le at all tides. That terrible shingle, 
 which has so long baffled the exertions of infant science, and even now, at Dover, braves 
 the exertions of the British Govermnent, has, at rolkestonc, at length yielded to the 
 natural Ughts of scientific experience, under the tutelary genius of commercial enterprise. 
 
 Folkestone Viaduct, which spans the little river Foord, is supported by nineteen 
 arches of uniform span, each of thu'ty feet. The height from the lowest point is one 
 hundred feet, and the total length seven hundred and fifty-eight feet. The pressure is 
 calculated to be one thousand two hundred pounds to the square foot. 
 
 The engineermg features of the line between Folkestone and Dover are most 
 remarkable. The line is alternately thi'ough chalk rock and on artificial embankments 
 washed by the sea, and embraces the Martcllo Tower Tunnel, six himdred and thii-ty-six 
 yards ; and the Abbott's CUif Timnel, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-seven yards. 
 Those interested in such works should first ride in an open third class carriage between 
 the two points, and then walk on the summit of the cHifs along the pathway on 
 the edge. The blasting of the Roundowu CHff on the 26th of Januaiy, 1843, 
 was a feat wliich attracted learned men, geologists, and crowds of spectators. Sii' 
 John Herschel was its historian, and his account may be read in the "Athenseum" 
 for lSi3, p. 111. The cliff rose thi-ee hundi-ed and seventy-five feet above the level of 
 the sea, and was the highest pouit of the ridge. Upwards of nineteen thousand pounds 
 of gunpowder were used on this occasion. The explosion was almost noiseless — a low 
 miu-mur, lasting hardly more than half a second. In ten seconds, fom* hundred thousand 
 cubic yards were thrown down foui" hundred feet, and distributed over eighteen acres, at 
 an average depth of fourteen feet, and in many ]5arts from tliirty to fifty feet. There

 any direction, and altogether the whole phenomenon was totally milike anytliing which, 
 according to ordinary ideas could be su])posed to arise from the action of gunpowder. 
 Nothing, concludes Sir John, can place in a more signal light the exactness of 
 calculation which (basing itself on a remarkably simple rule,) coidd enable the 
 eminent engineer (Mr. Cubitt), by whom the whole arrangements are understood to 
 have been made, so completely to task to its utmost every pound of powder employed, as 
 to exhaust its whole effect in useful work, leavino; no superfluous power to be wasted in 
 the production of useless iiproar or miscliievous dispersion, and thus saving at a blow not 
 less than £7,000 to the South-Eastern Company. 
 
 The two parallel tuiuiels excavated through the centre of Shakspeare's celebrated 
 cliff are each thirty feet high, twelve feet wide, and one thousand three hundred and 
 ninety-three yards long, of a Gothic form, and securely arched with brickwork, except 
 where the extreme harclness of the chalk does not require such support. Seven shafts 
 are sunk from the surface to the tunnels, and the same number of outlets to the face of 
 the cHff, tkrough which the excavated chalk was, during tlie progress of the work, carried 
 to the sea. The viaduct that leads from the terminus to the tunnel is a ponderous piece 
 of workmanship. It is formed of heavy beams of timber secm-ely framed and bolted 
 together, and might not be improperly called a " Giant's Causeway." The sea-wall 
 beyond the Shakspeare Tunnel is one of the most gigantic works of the radway, being 
 upwards of three-quarters of a mile in length, from sixty to seventy feet in height, and 
 about twenty-five feet in thickness at tlie foiindation. It is composed entirely of the 
 shingle or beach, formed into a compact body with lime bnrnt from the chalk thrown 
 down to form the slantings of the cbffs. These slantings are marvellous, and the works 
 l)etween Dover and Eolkestone are of the most stupendous character, and are probably 
 unequalled by anything of the kind in the kingdom.

 consists of a centre, flanked by round towers, is embattled and strongly 
 macheolated, and is also defended by a portcuUis. Tlie inner buildings 
 form a quadrangle, enclosing a court. The hall still retains vestiges of its 
 ancient splendour. It was once the property of Sir J. Boleyn, grandfather 
 of Aime Boleyn. The Boleyns made this their principal residence ; and 
 here, during the halcyon days of courtship, the stern and inflexible tyrant 
 Henry, who, without a relenting pang, could consign that beauty to the 
 scaffold which he had raised to his bed, is said to have spent some of his 
 happiest days. Tradition states that when on a visit to the castle with his 
 attendants, he used to wind his bugle-horn when he had reached the top of 
 the hill to which its towers were visible, in order to give notice of his 
 approach. On the decease of Sir Thomas Boleyn, Earl of WUtshire and

 inner quadrangle are the kitchen, buttery, and other domestic otBces ; and 
 the old family dimier-beU, set in a wooden frame, serving as a memorial of 
 baronial festivity, still remains in the centre of the yard. The park, of 
 about 400 acres, is beautifully diversified wath hills, woods, and lawns, and 
 well planted with large oak, beech, and chesnut-trees. The gardens are 
 extensive, and laid out in terraces. In some lofty beech-trees on a hiUy 
 part of the estate is the ancient heronry. The south side of the ])ark is 
 watered by the Medway, and a tree is still pointed out, said to be the 
 celebrated oak called the " Bear's Oak," which was planted at the birth of 
 the gallant and accomplished Sir Philip Sydney. It measiu'cs 27 feet in

 and is described by Phibpot, in his " History of Kent," to be as " eminent 
 for its magnificence and beauty, as for its contrivance and ciu-iosity." It is 
 situated on the brow of a hill, in the midst of rich pasture and noble woods, 
 and commands picturesque and varied prospects. lu the time of the 
 Commonwealth, the learned Sir Edward Dering suffered much in the cause 
 of royalty ; but having previously adliered to the Commonwealth, for his 
 inconsistent conduct, liis estate was confiscated, and liis house four times

 Dover. A parliamentary and municipal borough, cinque port, and 
 market-town, county of Kent. Area of borough, 320 .\. It sends two 
 members to Parliament. Registered electors (1847), 2,000; corporation 
 revenue (same date), £5,049 7.'?. ; registered shipping (same date), 109 
 vessels ; aggregate burden, 4,249 tons ; customs' revenue (184G), 
 £23,590 14s. The town, properly so called, is irregidarly built on the 
 banks of the Pent, inunediately under a high cliiF, on the top of which is 
 situated the citadel, and other important military works, ascended from 
 its principal street (Snargate) by a double spkal stone staircase of 
 beautiful consti-uction. There are also various other minor streets and 
 lanes. Its principal edifices are three parish cluirches, several Dissenting 
 chapels, the town liall, gaol, workhouse, theatre, museum, baths, assembly 
 rooms, military hosjutal, the Maison Dieu (a structure of great antiquity), 
 custom house, docks, bonding warehouses, and several excellent hotels. 
 Eor some years past Dover has assumed much unportanee as a fashionable 
 wateriug-place, and to meet its increasmg popularity many handsome 
 residences and terraces have been built on the old rope-walk, commencing 
 near the inner basin of the harbonr, and extending along the shore as far 
 as " Smith's Eolly," under the Castle Chff, forming altogether a beautiful 
 promenade. The Castle, one of the most picturesque objects on the 
 English coast, is a fortress of great strength and autiqidty, occupymg 35 
 acres. There are conflicting opiidous as to its origin; but it is quite 
 certaui that some early jjortions of tlic edifice arc Roman, and others Saxon. 
 Its spacious keep is a si)lendid specimen of this style of building, while the 
 Roman and Saxon Idw ers here and tlieiT invest t he wliole area wit h an interest

 Folkestone. A parliamentary and municipal borough, market-town, 
 and sea-port, and member of the cinque port town of Dover. It lies in 
 a hoUow between two high cliffs, which are comiected by a viaduct of this 
 railway. A few years ago it was one of the most straggling and miserable- 
 looking towns in England, but it has lately risen iuto importance to the 
 detriment of Dover, in consequence of its superior position with regard to 
 the passage between its port and Boulogne, and many handsome villas and 
 several hotels have been erected for the accommodation of visitors, who are 
 also attracted to tliis spot by the fine sands and the bold and Ijeautiful 
 scenery by which the town is sui-rounded. It is most u-regularly built, but 
 it has a handsome market-house, bmlt by the Earl of Rachior, an endowed 
 school, and other charities, a gaol, library, and capital baths. It has also a 
 pier, battery, and a harbour, which has been greatly improved of late, as 
 vessels drawing from 10 to 12 feet can now enter it at high water. The 
 ehui-ch is a very ancient edifice. With Hythe, &c., it sends one member to 
 Parliament. Folkestone has a great trafiic -nith Boulogne, but the 
 popidatiou derives its chief support from its fisheries. Market, Thiu'sday.

 dently of these cui'ious remains of antiquity, the bomb-proof magazine, the 
 extensive barracks for thousands of soldiers, the magnificent views from its 
 ramparts are well worthy of inspection, and combine to render Dover Castle, 
 and the military works wliich extend along the neighbouring height, a stiU 
 formidable defence against any attempted invasion of this portion of oui- 
 shores. Dover harboiu-, though difiicult of access, owing to a movable bar 
 of shingle, has undergone great improvements of late, and consists of three 
 basms — the outer one enclosed between two piers 150 feet apart. The 
 harbour of refuge ui progress of formation in the bay, has met with some 
 obstruction, owing to the recent storms, which did considerable injui-y to 
 the tackle, &c., used in its construction ; but when completed, it wiU be a 
 soiu'ce of considerable advantage to the town, as well as security to the 
 shipping interest. Steam packets ply regularly between this port and 
 France and Belgium, fi-om wliich countries it imports large quantities of 
 fruit, eggs, vegetables, &c. Dover has an excellent coasting trade and 
 fishery."^ The borough is governed by a mayor, aldermen, and councillors,

 2 m. w. Eastwcll Park, Earl of Wincliilsea and Nottingham. Tlic 
 mansion is a large ciiilicc, witliout extraorclinarv oniaincnt, standing in an 
 extensive park, mcU furnished with deer, and rendered interesting by a bold 
 equality of gromid, some part being so elevated that both the seas may be 
 plaiidy seen, namely, that of the buoy of the Nore towards the north, and 
 the other on the south over Romney Marsh towards the coast of Erance. 
 This hill is clothed with fine woods, tlu'ough which eight avenues of walks, 
 called the Star Walks, branch off in opposite directions from an octagon 
 plain. On the top of the liill nearly adjoining the pai-k, on the south, is 
 Eastwell church, a siriall ediiice, dedicated to St. Mary, and di^dded into 
 two ]iarts by pointed arches, supported on octagonal colomiades. Eastwell 
 church contains several fine monuments of the Finches : and on the north 
 side of the chancel is an ancient tomb, said to belong to Richard Planta- 
 genet, whom tradition asserts to have been a natiu'al son of Richard III., 
 and whose bm'ial is thus recorded in the register of Eastwell, under date 
 1550 : " Ryehard Plantagenet was buried the 22ijth day of December. 
 Anno di supra." It is observable that a similar mark to that prefixed to 
 the name of Plantagenet occurs before every subsequent entry in the old 
 register, where the person was of noble blood j but whatever may be the 
 tnith of the tradition, the tomb itself seems of an earlier date ; it had been 
 iidaid with brasses, which are now gone. Of this Richard a very curious 
 account has been left by the late Dr. Thomas Brett, of Spring Gi'ove, 
 which was subsequently published in Peck's " Desiderata Curiosa," vol. ii.

 Chilham, county of Kent. The ruins of its ancient castle and its fine 
 old church are worthy of especial notice. Chilham Castle, J. B. Wildmau, 
 Esq. The mansion was erected by Sir Dudley Digges, Knight, INIaster of 
 the RoUs in the reign of Charles I., as appears by an inscription over the 
 principal entrance : 
 
 "the lord is my house of defence, and my. castle, 
 "dudley digges. maky kempe." 
 
 The situation is commanding and beautiful, rising with a gentle ascent on 
 the north side of the river Stour. Upon the extreme verge of the hiU, 
 which rises very abruptly on the side next the river, stands the keep of the 
 ancient castle of Chilliam ; and it is related, that when Sir Dudley Digges 
 erected the present mansion, wliieh is very near the castle, he discovered in 
 digging the foundation several traces of building, apparently of Roman 
 constniction, and fragments of armoiu", coins, arms, &c., and other evidences 
 to justify the supposition of its having been a Roman station, and a day's 
 march from wliere Julius Caesar first landt-d in l^ritain. Tiie kec]) is 
 apparently of Anglo-Norman constniction, and is the oidy portion of the 
 castle remaining. Its princi])al feature is an octagonal tower of about 
 40 feet diameter in extent, and about 25 feet within the waUs, being about 
 S feet in thickness. The ground-floor of the tower is now used as* a 
 brcwhousc. It is about 80 feet high, having over it what is supposed to

 2 m. N.E. Chartham. On Charthara Downs, which extend along the 
 south side of the road between Ashford and Canterbury, are a vast number 
 of barrows of different sizes scattered over the ground, which in the 
 ancient deeds of the adjoining estates is described by the name of " Danes 
 Banks." Several of these have been opened at different times, and the 
 remains of bodies, both male and female, with various articles of trinkets, 
 &c., found in them. It is supposed by early writers that this is the spot 
 where Csesar first encountered the Britons, and that the fortress which 
 stood soutli-west of the barrows was that to wliich they retii-ed. On the 
 contiguous plain to the soutli, called Swaddling Downs, are tliree or four 
 lines of entrenchments wliich cross the wliole line from east to west, and 
 on the road under Denge Wood eastward from Jiilliberrie's grave is 
 another small entrenchment. The manor of Chartham was given to the 
 priory of Christ Church, by Duke Elfiid, in the year 871, towards the 
 clothing of the monks, who had a church here. In the time of Edward I. 
 they had also a vineyard here, and in that of his successor the prior had 
 confirmation of the liberty of free warren in this manor. After the disso- 
 lution, Henry VIII. granted it to the dean and chapter of Canterbiuy, to 
 whom it still belongs. The priors of Clu-ist Church had a residence here, 
 and it was probably to this house that Arclibishop Winchelsea retired 
 when suffering under tlie displeasure of Edward I. Prior Goldsten, alioul 
 the year 1500, repaired and rebuilt certain portions which had fallen to 
 decay, and in 1.572 a large chapel connected with the house was taken

 Canterbury, a city, borough, and county of itself, and the metropolitan 
 see of England, is situated on the river Stour, in the county of Kent. Area, 
 including fourteen parishes, 3,240 a, ; population (1841), 15,435; inhabited 
 houses, 2,769. It returns two members to Parliament ; registered electors 
 (1848), 1,924; corporate revenue (1843), £3,204. This venerable city 
 is replete with historical associations. At the period of the Eomau 
 invasion it was a settlement of the Britons, and a place of great religious 
 note, and the Romans fixed upon it as one of their principal stations. 
 Historians, and the venerable chroniclers who sought truth, without 
 reference to its application to particular argiunents, assert that Christianity 
 was introduced here in the 2nd century, upwards of 400 years before the 
 arrival of St. Augustin, the first priest who ever preached the doctrines, 
 and introduced the discipline of the Romish Church into England, but not 
 without great opposition on the part of the British clergy, ^-ho are said to 
 have derived their knowledge of Christian doctrines from the Bible, and 
 the preaching of St. Paul. Cauterbiuy afterwards became the capital 
 of the Saxon kingdom of Kent, by the name of Caer Cant, whence is 
 derived the Latin Cantuaria, and Canterbury. The archbishopric was 
 founded a.d. 597 ; and amongst the archbishops — of whom there have been 
 93 up to the present time — we may cite as the most famous, St. Augustin, 
 St. Dunstan, Lanfranc, Anselm, Bccket, Cardinal Pole, Cranmer, Abbot, 
 Laud, Tillotson, and Howley. The city of Canterbury is situated in a vale, 
 and has four principal streets, branching from a centre at right angles, 
 extending as far as the ancient city walls, beyond which are conside- 
 rable suburbs. No city in England, and scarcely any in tlie north of 
 Europe, abounds in such rich and maguidcent ecclesiastical monuments. 
 The cathedral was erected in the 12th, 13th, and 14th centuries, on the

 dovni. Tlie seat of the priors is uow called the Deanery, having been the 
 residence of the deans of Canterbury for several years unmediately pre- 
 ceding the Commonwealth. The church dedicated to St. Mary is a 
 spacious edifice, built tu the form of a cross (without aisles), with an 
 embattled tower at the west end. The chancel has a light and elegant 
 appearance. The windows are large and filled with painted glass. Among 
 the more remarkable sepulchi-al memorials is a large slab in the chancel, 
 inlaid Mdth brass of a knight as large as life, crossed-lcggcd, in mail armour, 
 with a surcoat above a shield on his left arm, a Kon at his heels, and a long 
 sword hanging pendent from a very rich girdle. It is intended to per- 
 petuate the memory of Su- Robert Septrand, who was with Richard I. 
 at the siege of Aeon. Mystole, Sir John Tagg, Bart. The Faggs resided 
 here in the time of Charles 11., and the present mansion was built in the 
 time of Queen EHzabeth. It is a moderate sized house, pleasantly situated 
 in a small park. Not far distant from this house, in 1668, in digging a 
 well, at the depth of nineteen feet the workmen turned up a parcel of 
 strange and monstrous bones, some whole, some broken, together with four 
 teeth of an unusual size, perfect and sound, but in a manner petrified and 
 turned into stone, each tooth weighing about half a pound. 
 
 site (as it has been said) of the first Cluistian church in England. It is 
 built in the form of a double cross, with a central and two western towers, 
 the whole comprising every featui-e of Christian architecture. The choir 
 is the finest in England; and in the chapel of the Holy Trinity is the 
 tomb of Thomas a Bccket, around which the pavement is worn into hollows 
 by the knees of the pilgrims worshipping at his shrine. In the recent 
 reparations of tliis edifice discoveries were made, which induced the 
 authorities to remove the old camdngs, when highly-elaborated stone stalls 
 were brought to Hght, and the origmal character of the building restored, 
 rendering this cathedi-al the most uniform and splendid of British eccle- 
 siastical structm-es. Amongst the highly-interesting mouimients on this 
 sacred spot, that of the Black Priace^isVell worthy of inspection. His

 are the chapter-house, cloisters, and a most splendid library ; wlule under 
 the cathedral is a spacious crypt, which has been used as a French 
 Protestant chui'ch ever since the reign of Elizabeth. Amongst the nume- 
 rous ecclesiastical buddings and antiquities Ijelonging to this city, we may 
 name the parish churches, some of which are very ancient, an ancient 
 gateway, the ruins of St. Augustin's Abbey, and the remains of a huge 
 Norman castle, the Old ' Chequers Iim,' the resort of the pilgrims, and 
 the Donjon, or Dane John Field, now beautifully planted and laid out as a 
 public promenade. Canterbury possesses many educational institutions, 
 Avith a grammar school founded by Hem-y VIII., for 50 pupils, haying 
 several exhibitions and scholarships "at Cambridge. Amongst its hospitals 
 and charitable foundations, we may cite that which owes its origin to 
 Archbishop Lanfranc, for poor brctiiren, with an annual revenue of £411;

 Jesus Hospital, fouuded 1595, revenue, £584 ; cand another with a revenue of 
 upwards of £300. Of the public edifices of the city, the ancient guildhall 
 is the most cm-ious. There are also an infirmary, a sessions house, gaol, 
 house of correction, large barracks, exchange, workhouse, theatre, baU-room, 
 museum, library, and a pliilosophical institution. The trade of Canterbury 
 consists chiefly in exports of hops and agricultuivil produce. _ There are 
 however some woollen mills in the ueighboujhood, and the city is famous 
 for its brawn. It is the seat of quarter sessions, and petty sessions are 
 held every Thursday. The Archbishop of Canterbury is " Prknate of all 
 
 From Canterbury there is a short branch to Whitstable, which is 
 partly in the parish of Seasalter, and partly in the parish of WTiitstable, 
 lying near the entrance of the East Swale, opposite to the Isle of Sheppy. 
 On the shore by Taggei'ton, are several copper-houses, where considerable 
 quantities of copperas, or green \atriol, are manufactured. Whitstable Bay 
 is frequented by a considerable number of colliers, from which Canterbury 
 and the siu-rounding places are supplied with coal. Many boats are 
 employed in the fisheries, "VVTiitstable being a royalty of fishery, or oyster 
 dredging, appendant to the manor ; and for the due regulation of the trade, 
 a court is held annually in Eebruary. Great quantities of Roman pottery 
 have been found in dredging for oysters round a rock, now called the 
 Pudding Pan, which is supposed by some to have been the island of 
 Kaunoss Op Tommause, though now covered -with the sea. Court Lees,

 4 m. E. of Wliitstable, is Herke Bay, a watering-place of very modern 
 origin, having sprung into existence in a few years. It is much frequented 
 for the pui'pose of bathing, and enjoying the healthy and bracing air. One 
 of the most prominent objects in the town is a very handsome clock-house, 
 or tower, erected on the parade at the sole expense of Mrs. Thwaites, which 
 serves at the same time as an excellent land-mai'k for mariners.

 beautifvd residence is situated in a most delightful neighbom-hood. The 
 manor was anciently called Legh, and was the seat of a family which 
 derived its name from the estate. The house was originally built in the 
 reign of James I., and was improved and altered to its present state by 
 Thomas Barrett, Esq., in 1782, under the superintendence of the late James 
 Wyatt, Esq., the architect. The entrance to the grounds is through a 
 lofty gateway, between two octagonal embattled towers. The principal 
 front of the mansion is on the north, where the centre forms a square 
 embattled tower, with piimacles on the angles, and octagonal tun-ets at the 
 extremities. In the west front is a large muUioned window, above which 
 rises the large octagonal tower containing the library. It is suiToimdcd 
 by a singularly beautiful ornamented jiarapet, selected from the best models 
 of antiquity, terminating in a well-proportioned spire, conspicuous in the 
 distance above the mass of foliage which envelopes the mansion. This beau- 
 tiful seat was left to its late possessor, Thomas Brydges, by his uncle, Thos. 
 BuiTctt, Esq., and here Sir Egerton Brydges, who resided with his sou, estab- 
 lished his celebrated printing-press, at which he reprinted many of the

 centre of the building ; but the internal arrangements are excellent, 
 affording every requisite accommodation. The park, upwards of 200 acres 
 in extent, is beautifully diversified, -n-ith extensive lawns of varied surface,

 Sandwich. A parliamentary and municipal borough, cinque port, and 
 market -to'mi, on the river Stour, about two miles from its mouth in Pegwell 
 Bay. Tliis venerable town was formerly the outport of the metropolis, and 
 having I'isen into great commercial importance upon the decKne of Rich- 
 borough, the ancient Rhutupium, towards the 6tli centiuy, it has in its turn 
 ceded to the more happy positions of other ports ; and, notwithstanding its 
 trifling exports of agricultural produce, malt, bark, leather, ashes, and wool, 
 and its impoi't of coal, principally for the consumption of the town and its 
 vicinity, it is now a place of very little importance, and although the railway 
 may effect great improvement m its trade, it is impossible that it can 
 recover itself as a sea-port, owaug to the natm-al impediments to its 
 navigation. The town, which is very nearly surrounded by ancient 
 fortifications, is large, iiTcgularly built, aud exceedingly dull. It contains 
 tliree parish churches. That of St. Clement's is a fine specimen of the 
 eaiiy Norman architecture, with a massive tower. The other pruicipal 
 edifices are tlie guiklluill, gaol, hospital, and Dissenting places of worship. 
 It has a free granunar school, with several scholarships in Lincoln College, 
 Oxford, and the alternate nomination to four in Cains College, Caml)ridge. 
 Some of the houses are curious for their antiquity. The borough sends two 
 members to Parliament. Registered electors (1S4S), 94-3. About two 
 miles from the town lies Richborough, which was destroyed by the Danes 
 hi the 11th century. Here are the vestiges of a castle, and the traces of

 Eamsgate. This celebrated watering-place and sea-port town is situated 
 iu the Isle of Thauet, in the county of Kent. The town occupies portions 
 of two cliffs, and the gorge or valley between them, in which is the com- 
 mercial or traclmg part, leading to its beautiful, if not most useful and 
 convenient harbour. The houses, terraces, crescents, &c. are handsome, 
 and the town is well Hghtcd, paved, and suppKed with water. Its principal 
 edifices are the modern Gothic cluu-ch, custom house, market house, 
 assembly rooms, baths, barracks, bbrai-ies, &c. The harboui- is one of 
 the handsomest in England, and eontams the largest artificial haven; its 
 construction was commenced by Smeaton in 1750 and completed by Remiie. 
 The piers extend nearly 2,000 feet into the sea enclosing an inner basin, 
 with wet and dry docks, storehouses, &c., and its entrance is guarded by 
 batteries and a lighthouse. The cost of coustmction was enormous, and 
 far beyond the amount of service that can ever be derived from it, as it is 
 sometimes difiicult of access, and only fit for the reception of vessels of 
 small burden at any time. Ramsgate is a member of the ruined cinque port

 Deal, a municipal and parliamentary borough, and market-to'wii, county 
 of Kent, situated near the south extremity of the Downs, opposite the 
 Goodwin Sands. Although the town is nominally divided into Upi)er, 
 Middle, and Lower Deal, the iirst-named is entii-ely detached, lying at the 
 distance of half a mile from the town, and consists chiefly of detached 
 houses, amongst which are several handsome residences, and the parish 
 chiu'ch, a spacious edifice, but without any peculiar claims to the notice of 
 the traveller. Middle and Lower Deal consist principally of one long 
 street, stretchmg along the shore for a great distance ; Low^er Deal 
 forming the chief residences of the hardy and coiu'ageous boatmen, to whose 
 daring and humanity the shipwrecked maruier so often owes the preservation 
 of his life. The houses in Middle Deal are well built. The piincipal 
 edifices of the town are the castle, court house, gaol, custom house, 
 naval store house, and the new public rooms, with Library and baths. 
 Deal Castle was built by Henry VIII., and is coeval, and of precisely 
 similar construction with those of Sandown and Wabner, which stand at 
 the north and south extremities of the town. The ornamental changes 
 which have been effected, from time to time, in these castles, are due to the 
 taste of the different Lords Warden of the cinque ports, and the Captains 
 of Deal Castle, of whom the late Lord Carrin^ton held the latter appoint- 
 ment for many years, and greatly improved its appearance. Sandown, 
 which retains its prunitive, fortUke. and forbidding aspect, was the prison of 
 the regicide. Colonel Hutchinson. The inliabitants of Deal are chiefly 
 connected with maritime traffic ; and dui-ing the war, the supply of slops

 The scientific world 1ms adniittcd that this nol)lc line is one of the grandest achieve- 
 ments of the engiuccrinc; art, on which the name of Brunei is indelibly stainped, from 
 London to the Ijand's End. It is not, however, oiu- intention to enter into a liistory of 
 the Company, the diifieidties it had to encounter in its parliamentary progress, the 
 millions invested in the accomi)lishment of the main line and its tributary branches, nor 
 to expiate upon the gigantic establishments called into being by the system of locomotion 
 over which the Comi)any so admirably presides ; we merely undei'take to point the 
 traveller's attention to tin; wonders of uatiu'e and art, as they almost vie with each other 
 on his rapid flight from the metropolis to the western coasts of Britain, and, above all, 
 to those stupendous works which the hand of science, imdaimted by the aspect of those 
 solid rocks, which even the Egyptians and Romans woidd have regarded as impenetrable 
 barriers, has achieved by the union of genius and labovu', by penetrating into the very 
 bowels of the earth, and overcoming the stubborn obstructions opposed to man's project 
 by natiu-e's original structure. We shall abstain, too, from any mention of the gradients, 
 levels, earthworks, and other technical details which can only interest the scientific and 
 professional reader, and confiue oui'selves exclusively to a brief description of the visible, 
 and at times, from the darkness, almost invisible, though well-appreciated works which, 
 to the end of time, will mark the power and perfection of science, connneneiug with 
 the tuomels. Of these wonderful works, the Box Tunnel between Bath and Chippenliam 
 is the most stupendous. It is upwards of three thousand one hundi-ed and twenty -three 
 yards, or rather more than one mile and three-quarters in length, cut through the solid 
 stone, the surface of the country at the eastern entrance of the tunnel being sixty-nine 
 feet six inches above the level of the rail, and at the western entrance sixty-foiu- feet. 
 Air and some light are achnitted into this monster tuimcl by means of eleven shafts, 
 varying from ninety-four to two hnndi'ed and ninety-three feet in depth. Between Box 
 and Bristol are seven other tunnels, the first of which, connnencing at the Bristol end, is 
 nine himdi'cd and ninety feet long, thirty feet wide, and thirty-fave feet high at each 
 entrance. The west front, or entrance, is in the Roman style of architecture, and 
 presents a very pleasing and bold outline. The next. No. 2, or the Ivy-Mantled Timnel, 
 is four hundred and seventy-five feet in length, and its greatest depth from the surface of 
 the land is ninety-nine feet six inches. The western face represents the entrance to an 
 old ivy-mantled castle, and is so pleasing an object that it has long been considered one 
 of the principal attractions of the neighboiu'hood. 
 
 The BrisHngton Tunnel (No. 3) is three thousand one hundred and forty-eight feet in 
 length, and one himdi'cd and sixteen feet six inches from the surface of the gromid to

 and forty-nine feet high. 
 
 Independently of the above, there is a short tunnel through Middle HiU, west of the 
 Box Tunnel, and an archway east of BrisHngton Tunnel one hundred and eleven feet 
 long, thii'ty feet wide, and thii-ty feet high. 
 
 Among the principal bridges, that of the WlianicMc Viaduct, which cames the 
 railway over the valley of the Brent at HanweU, is the grandest effort of arcliitectui'al 
 science and ingenuity of this description wliich the line can boast. It consists of eight 
 semi-eUiptical arches, each of seventy feet span. The whole length of the structure is 
 eight hundred and eighty -six feet, the height from the foundation to the top of the parapet 
 eighty-one feet, and the width between the parapets thirty feet. The design is remarkably 
 elegant, and this ■viaduct is considered one of the finest features in the whole undertaking, 
 while its picturesque appearance on the landscape, and the extensive views of the 
 surrounding country, obtained from its summit, rivets the traveller's attention. The 
 bridge, wluch crosses the Thames at Maidenhead, is a wonderful work of art. It 
 consists of ten arches, two across the river, each of the extraordinary span (for brick- 
 work) of one hundred and twenty-eight feet, the remaining eight being land arches of 
 different spans, varying from twenty-one to twenty-eight feet. 
 
 Tlie Bath Viaduct, upwards of thi-ee hundi-ed and six feet in length, consists of 
 sixty-five segmental arches, varying in span from nineteen feet and a half to twenty feet 
 and a half. The design, in perfect keeping with the architecture of the city of Bath, is 
 both chaste and elegant. 
 
 Near to this viaduct is the bridge across the river Avon, constructed of wooden 
 framing, resting on stone piers. It consists of two openings, each of eighty-nine feet, 
 and rismg sixteen feet nine inches ; the height from the surface of the water to the rails 
 thirty-six feet. The Twiverton Viaduct is two hundred and forty-five feet long, and 
 consists of nine arches, seven of fifteen feet, and two of twenty-four feet span each, 
 and foui-teen feet six inches high. 
 
 AH the bridges over the railway, many of wliich have considerable pretensions to 
 architectural beauty, have a general clear width of thirty feet between the parapets.

 commenced by Sir Thomas Gresham, to whom the City of London is 
 indebted for its Royal Exchange, and here Queen Elizabeth was entertained 
 by Sir- Thomas with all the magnificence wliich wealth and loyalty could 
 suggest. In 1760 the ancient stmctm-c was taken down, and the present 
 mansion buUt on the site. Osterley is of a quach-angular form, 110 feet in 
 length from east to west, and 117 feet from north to south. The ground 
 plan of the former house is nearly preserved in the present edifice. At each 
 comer of the original building stood a square tuiTet, which are retained as 
 vestiges of the original fabric, but have been newly cased. In the east are 
 twelve columns, composed of the Ionic order, supporting a ricldy ornamented 
 angular pediment. The entrance is by a spacious flight of stone steps, and 
 the building finished at top in every direct ion vritha stone balustrade. _ The 
 gardens are very extensive, and formerly contained a valuable collection of 
 rare bu-ds, representations of upwards of one hundred of wliich are given 
 in a volmne called " The Osterley Menagerie," published in 1791, by 
 Wniiam Hayes of SouthaU, at present the property of our publisher. 
 
 West Dkayton. A large irregidar tillage, separated by the river 
 Cohie from the neighboui-ing comity of Buckiugham. The Paget family 
 erected a spacious mansion in this parish, whicli was taken down by the 
 Earl of Uxbridge ia 1750. This mansion stood near the church, and two 
 fiue avenues of trees stiU denote the former stately character of its 
 approaches. The site of the mansion is at present occupied by a market- 
 
 farden. Manor House, Rev. Robert L. de Burgh. A commodious

 wliich obtains its name from having belonged to Sir Thomas Bm-gh, who 
 was Esquire to the body of Edward lY. This is a residence of the duU, 
 secluded character favom-able to traditional story ; many a man'ellous tale 
 is accordingly told respecting its hall, its chambers, and the pensive sliaded 
 walks of the attached grounds. Among these stones it may be mentioned 
 as the most remarkable, that not a few rustic neighbom's believe the 
 mansion of BiuToughs to have been an occasional residence of Oliver 
 Cromwell, and that the body of the Protector was privately conveyed to 
 this place when tlu-eatened with disgraceful exposure, and was re-buried 
 beneath the pavement of the haU.

 from the circumstance of tlie Manor House having been occasionally 
 occupied as a residence by the Archbishop of Canterbury in 1095. A 
 difference occm-riiig between Ansolme, then archbishop, and William Rufus, 
 the archbishop was commanded to reside there for more easy commuuication 
 with the King at Windsor. During this compulsory residence at Hayes, the 
 archbishop was attended by tlie majority of the English prelates, who 
 unavailmgly solicited his submission to the terms of the monarch. After 
 some time, however, a transient reconciliation took place between these 
 two great parties. WhitehaU, Mrs. Collenge ; Hayes Park, Colonel Joseph 
 Grant. The park, though of moderate extent, attracts considerable notice, 
 as the appendages of wood and water are beautifully diversified.

 the residence of Sir Robert Vyner, the facetious Lord Mayor of London

 warriors, than all the other public schools of the empire. The college 
 consists of two quadrangles, one appropriated to the school and the 
 lodgings of the masters and scholars of the foundation (between seventy 
 and eighty), the other eontams the apai'tments of the provosts and fellows. 
 Tiie library is one of the finest in Europe, containing some very valuable 
 drawings, pamtings, and Oriental manuscripts. Under the presidency 
 of Dr. Hawtree, the present learned and worthy head-master, the

 built a new one, under the suiierintendence of the famous William of

 incensed, and but for the happy manner in which the Arclibishop translated 
 his meaning, as being- the making of liimself, would have brought liim into 
 disgrace. During the wars of tlie Roses, the castle was suiTered to go to 
 decay. Edward IV. afterwards repaired it, and made additions, which 
 were enlarged by Henrys VII. and VIIL, as well as by Queen Elizabetli. 
 During the civil war it suffered, but was restored to its ancient splendour 
 by Charles II., and remained in that state until it imdei-went an entire 
 restoration imder liis late Majesty George IV., a monarch whose refined 
 taste for the arts is best attested by the magnificence of this exquisite palace, 
 Tlie lofty position of the castle, its splendid terrace, 1,870 feet in length, 
 faced with a rampart of stone overlookiug the transparent waters of tlie 
 Thames as it meanders in its serpentine coiu-se through verdant meadows, 
 and the parks and pleasure-grounds of the neighbom-ing gentry, — in fact, 
 the whole prospect from the terrace over many counties is so enchanting, 
 that it is difficult to pronounce whether art or natm-e has contributed most 
 to charm the senses. The Home, or Little Park, well stocked with deer, is four 
 miles in cu-ciunference, and completely enclosed by a higli brick wall. The 
 apartments are all on a truly royal scale of grandem-. St. George's Hall is 
 magnificent, but we have not space to enumerate its beauties. The Round 
 Tower or governor's residence, is the liighest building on the castle walls. 
 From the top there is an uninterrupted view over eleven counties : Mid- 
 dlesex, Essex, Hertford, Bucks, Oxford, Wilts, Hants, Sm-rey, Sussex, 
 Kent, and Bedford. There are two courts. Li the upper there is a fine 
 equestrian statue of Charles II., and in the lower the beautiful chapel of 
 St. George, -with the residences of the dean aud canons, and the Poor 
 Knights of Windsor are situate. The picture gallery, aud all the other 
 beauties of this noble castle, must be visited to be appreciated. The wishes 
 of the public have been kindly and condescendingly considered by Her 
 Most Gracious Majesty, all, except the absolutely private apartments of the 
 Royal Eamily, being open to public inspection. St. George's Chapel, 
 built by Edward III., was enlarged and beautified in the reign of 
 Kiug Hem-y VII., from designs by and under the personal superintendence 
 of the celebrated Su- Reginald Bray, Speaker of the House of Commons, 
 and for some years Prime Mioister to that monarch. Many of om-

 included an exemption from toUs in the adjacent market-towns. A custom 
 prevails in tliis jilace, agrcealoly to which, in default of male heirs, lauds are 
 not divided among females of the same degree of kincbed, but descend only

 structiu-e, composed of various materials, and exhil)iting a mktiu-e of 
 almost every style of arcliitectui-e. Bray is celebrated from the memorable 
 conduct of "a vicar, whose name was Symon Symonds, and who possessed 
 the benefice in the reign of Henry VIII., and the tb-ee succceduig 
 monarchs. This man was twice a Protestant, and thrice a Papist, and when 
 reproached for the unsteadiness of his prmeiplcs (if principles they can be 
 called), which could thus suffer him unhesitatingly to espouse any form of 
 reliijion, and pernut him to veer with every change of administration, 
 reiifiedthat "he had always governed hmiself by what he thought a very 
 laudable principle, which was, never on any terms to part with his vicarage, 
 but live and che Vicar of Bray." He diecl in the forty-first year of Queen 
 Elizabeth. The principal charitable mstitution is a hos]ntal called Jesus 
 Hospital, founded in 1(327 by William Goddard, Esq., for forty poor persons 
 (six of whom must be free of the Eislmiongers' Company, under whose 
 goveruorsliip it is placed), who, in addition to their place of residence, are 
 allowed eight shillings a month. Over the door of the ahushouse is a statue

 seats and viUas. About 2 m. CHefdon House, Marquis of Stafford, was 
 built by George Villiers, second Duke of Buckingham, and went by mar- 
 riage to the late Earl of Orkney. This stately mansion, with the excep- 
 tion of the wings, was destroyed by fire in 179.5. The estate was sold by 
 auction in 1819, and Sir- George Warrender became the pm-chaser of the 
 principal lots, comprising the wings of the old mansion, tlie grounds, &c., 
 which are not to be surpassed in beauty by any in the country. They rise 
 boldly from the Thames, and command the most lovely and extensive 
 views. Dropmore House, Lady Gremdlle, was purchased by the late Lord 
 GrenviUe of the learned Dr. Friend. Hedsor Lodge, Lord Boston, near 
 CHefden, stands in a lofty situation. The declivities of the hills towards 
 tlie west are steep, and on the south, near the Thames, is a chalky preci- 
 pice, whence the groimd rises boldly to the smnmit, on which the mansion, 
 a very elegant stmcture, appears conspicuous. The views from tliis sjjot 
 are delightful. Down Place, three mdes from Maidenhead, in Bucks, is a 
 very elegant villa, from which the views of Windsor Castle and Forest 
 are unequalled.

 Nethercliif Lodge, Mrs. S. Taylor; Sliottcsbrooke House, A. Vansittart,

 oi" the Trussel family, one of whom, Sir William, who foimded a small 
 religious house here, iio traces of which now remahi, is supposed to have been 
 tlie'last speaker of both Houses of Parliament in the reign of Edward IIL 
 
 I2- m. s. HuusT. A very extensive parish, containing four liberties. It 
 has an almshouse, founded in 1682 by William Barker, Esq., for eight 
 single persons, who each receive sixpence a-day, and a gown once in two 
 years. The chiuxh is a very line Gothic structiu-e, aud consists of a nave, 
 and very ancient chancel, which separates it from the church by ornamental 
 and elaborately carved oak, surmounted by the royal arms, and Prince of 
 Wales' plume. It has two arched ceilings, supported in the centre by foiu- 
 large and beautiful Gothic arches, resting on cohunns of the same order ;

 whilst he was composing his poem of " Windsor Forest ;" and there existed 
 until lately, even if it does not now, a tree on which "Here Pope sung" 
 are inscribed in capital letters, and it would appear the poet had these stUl 
 haunts before him when he wi'ote these lines : 
 
 " Tliere interspers'd iu lav\Tis and op'niiig glades. 
 Thin trees arise, that shim each other's sliadcs ; 
 Here in full hght the russet plains extend, 
 There wrapt in clouds the blueish hills ascend. 
 E'en the wild lieath displays her puiijle dyes, 
 And 'midst the desert fruitful fields arise, 
 That crowTi'd with tufted trees and springing corn, 
 Jjike verdant isles, the sable waste adorn." 
 
 Reading lays claim to very high antiquity : it was initabited by the 
 Saxons before the incursions of the Danes, and formerly possessed two 
 castles. It is a municipal borough and market-lown, the eajiital of the 
 comity of Berks, aud is situated on the river Kennet, close to its iuuction 
 with the Thames. It consists of three parishes, with a population ot 18,499, 
 comprised within an area of 2,080 a., and returns two members to Parlia- 
 ment, chosen by about 1,300 electors. Its main streets, well paved, and 
 lighted with gas, are spacious, and contain many handsome residences. 
 Several bridges cross the various branches of tlie Kennet, which passes 
 through the town. Of the public edifices, charities, endowments, and 
 institutions, we may cite three old churches, a grannnar school, founded in 
 the reign of Henry VH., of which the celebrated Dr. Valpy was formerly 
 head master,' a blue-coat seliool, founded in 101') for forty -seven boys, which 
 enjoys a revenue of £],000 per annum, a county hospital, a county gaol

 in history vmtil after the Norman Conquest. In 1643 the parliamentary 
 forces were qiiartered here when they were attacked by the royalists, who 
 entered the to^\^l, but were dispersed by the firing of the cannon down Duke 
 Street, which did much execution. In the following year the iidiabitants 
 sustained considerable damage from the wanton conduct of King Hemys 
 soldiers, who phmdered most of the houses. The town is beautifully 
 situated at the foot of the Chilteni Hundreds, on the banks of the Thames, 
 wliich is crosssd by a stone bridge. The key-stone on the face of each arch 
 is adorned with a sciJptured mask, from the cliisel of the Hon. Mrs. Damer.

 family. The present manor-house was built by Colonel Freeman, in 1684, 
 from designs by Sir Christopher Wren. It is a spacious and handsome 
 edifice, with fom* regular fronts. The apartments are of tine proportions,

 for persons afflicted with the king's evd to receive the royal touch. The 
 canons of Notely, comity of Bucks, had a cell here, and some remains of 
 the chapel may still be seen near the bridge. Li this chapel was a famous

 The Stewardship of the Chilteru Hundi-eds is an honorary government

 that inequality of surface so prolific in beauty, it can boast of its forests 
 and woods fraught with national benefit, and displaying at every rude turn 
 a captivatiug though circumscribed graudeui- of prospect. On the north 
 (and particularly on the western part of that district), stone fences supply 
 the place of the thick-set hedges, decorated with a profusion of wild flowers 
 which form the boundary of other enclosm-es, and the eye is often fatigued 
 by a rude and frigid monotony of scene. But the rivers which flow through 
 the country are the chief sotu-ces of its beauty. These, ghdiag through 
 almost every district, call forth luxm-iant vegetation in a thousand smiliug 
 meadows, and regale the traveller with a continual and enchanting change 
 of prospect, whether they stretch over fertile champaign or break from 
 woody interstice. 
 
 A little to the north is a medicinal water, called Springwell, which was in 
 liigh repute iii the early part of the last centiuy for the cure of cutaneous 
 diseases. It had its day of celebrity, and is now disregarded. The country 
 people have sagaciously discovered the cause of its efficacy. TVTien the water 
 ciu-ed, it was dispensed gratuitously, the proprietor then demanded a fee

 which now exist. It was once a place of importance, and is again

 deaconry of Berks and diocese of Salisbuiy, rated in the King's Books at 
 £15 Os. 2ld. ; and in the patronage of the president and fellows of Corpus 
 Christi College, Oxford. There is also a Dissenting place of worship. 
 Dean Swift, dvmng his residence at the rectory, in 171i, wi-ote his 
 pamphlet, entitled " Free Thoughts on the Present State of Affaii's ;" but 
 it was not prmted until 1711. The ancient Tknield Street crosses the 
 Vale of the "NMiite Horse in this parish. The wliite horse was foniied 
 by the du-ection of .Ufred the Great, in commemoration and as a trophy 
 of the signal victory which he obtained over the Danes at Ashdown 
 in this neighbom-hood, in the year 871. The horse is portrayed in a 
 galiopping position on the upper part of a hill, where its steep situation 
 and barren soil funiish a complete secui-ity against the inroads of the 
 plough, the stagnation of waters, or the grazing of cattle. Its dimen- 
 sions occupy about an acre of gi'ound, and its shape is determined by 
 hollow lines wliich are trenches cut in the white chalk between two 
 and three feet deep, and about ten broad. The head, neck, body, and 
 tail are composed of one line vaiying in width, and one line or trench 
 has also been made for each of the legs. The chalk in the hollowed 
 spaces being of a brighter colour than the turf that suiTOunds it, catches the 
 sun's rays, and renders the whole figure visible at several mUcs' distance. 
 Though the situation of the horse preserves it from all danger of being 
 obliterated, yet the peasants of the surrounding country have a custom of 
 assembling at stated periods for the purpose of clearing it of weeds. 
 The holders of land in the neighbourhood of the "VMiite Horse were, by 
 the conditions of tenure, obliged to cleanse and repair it. The obliga-

 ]mrt ot this estate seems to have been subdivided, and to have formed two 
 chstinct manors, wliich, from the families by whom they were aftenvards 
 possessed, acquired the name of Kingston Ferrars, and Kingston LargveUe. 
 A tliird manor retauiiug the name of Kingston Bagpuze, was for many 
 years in the family of Kingston. The manors became .afterwards the 
 property of the Blandys. The manor-house is a modern brick mansion. 
 The parish chui-ch was rebuilt early in the present century. It is a small, 
 neat structure, and contains a few monuments of the Blandys, wliich were 
 carefully preserved when the old chui-ch was pulled down. 4 m. further, 
 Witney. 4 m. n.w. Cherberry Camp. Its width at the widest part is 
 310 paces, hi the narrowest, 211. It is surrounded by a triple vallum. 
 
 6 m. N.w. Fauringdon. It is situated about two miles from the Isis, 
 on the west side of Farringdon HiU, where stands the chm-ch, a large and 
 ancient edifice, displaying various styles of architectiu'e. It was built in 
 the form of a cross, with a double transept. In the organ gallery are 
 several niches, some of which contain carved busts of heads of religious 
 orders. Part of the spii-e was desti'oyed diu'ing the civil wars. The church 
 contains several line monuments, including that of its unknown founder. 
 Robert, Earl of Gloucester erected a castle here, but King Stephen levelled 
 it to the earth, and the site was granted by Kiii^ John in 1202 for a 
 Cistercian abbey, the possessions of which at the dissolution of monastic 
 institutions were granted by Edward VI. to Thomas, Lord Seymour, after 
 whose attainder they were bestowed by Queen Mary upon Sir F. Englefield. 
 Farringdon HiU, an eminence rising gradually from the Vale of the White 
 Horse, is surmounted by a grove, which commands most extensive views 
 over parts of Oxfordshire, Gloucester, and Wilts. Near Farringdon is 
 a Danish camp, two hundred yards in diameter, with a ditch twenty yards 
 wide. It was on the adjoining flat that Alfred obtained his twelfth victory. 
 Human bones are frequently discovered in the swampy ground one mile 
 south of the hiU. The town of Farrmgdon is neatly built, and very clean, 
 has a town hall, some charities, and a weekly market on Tuesday. It is the 
 head of a poor-law luiion, and a poUiiig place for the county. Area of 
 parish, 6,910 a. ; population, 3,593. Farringdon House, Daniel Bennett, 
 Esq. Tliis elegant mansion was built by the late Henry James Pye, Esq., 
 the Laureate. It stands in a small park on the north side of the town, the 
 view of which is excluded by lofty ehns and some judiciously disposed 
 |ilantations. The grounds are agreeable from their inequality of surface. 
 During the civil wars the ancient mansion was garrisoned for Charles L, 
 and was one of the last places that sui-rendered, its defenders having 
 repulsed a large party of the Parliament's forces but a short time before 
 the reduction of Oxford. This attack was attended by a smgular cii-cum- 
 stance : Su- Robert Pye, the owner of the house, who had married Anne, 
 eldest daughter of Hampden, and was a colonel in the parliamentary army, 
 being himself the person who headed the assailants. About 1 m. e. of

 tiou is now void as the frequent changes wliich the property has undergone, 
 and the endeavours of the pm-chasers on each transfer to avoid restric- 
 tions, have contributed to cancel every record that could make it binding. 
 The peasantry tlierefore preseiTe the memory of its existence, and 
 celebrate it with a rustic festival and various games. The horse, though 
 siaiple in its design, may hereafter vie with the pyramids for dui'ation, and 
 perhaps exist when those shall be no more. 
 
 3 m. s.w. AsHBURY. Li this parish is an encampment, called Alfred's 
 Camp, near to which are two barrows. Here are also some tmnixli and 
 a crorolech, called Weyland Smith, with which a tradition introduced by Sir 
 Walter Scott in his romance of " Kenilworth" is comiected. 3 m. further,

 granted by Henry VXH. to Edward Seymour, Duke of Somerset, which for 
 a long period served as a rabbit-warren, but is now enclosed and cultivated. 
 Previous to the battle of Newbui-y, in the reign of Charles I., a sharp 
 skirmish took place here between the Parliamentary and the RoyaHsts 
 troops. The southern part of the vicarage house is supposed to be the 
 remains of a hunting seat which belonged to John of Gaunt, Duke of 
 Lancaster. Near a farm-house, called Percy's Lodge, are vestiges of an 
 ancient bridge and encampment. 
 
 1 m. s.E. Swindon. A market-town and parish, county of Wilts. A 
 very neat and well-built town, situate on an eminence, commanding a good 
 prospect over the adjoining counties of Berks and Gloucester. It has no 
 pai'ticular trade, but has a lively and cheerful appearance in consequence of 
 the many persons of independent fortune who have chosen it as a residence. 
 The public bmldings are magnificent. It has a free school, and a weekly 
 market on Monday for corn and provisions, and a cattle, or great market, 
 as it is called, every alternate Monday. It has also five annual fairs, and the 
 petty sessions for the Swindon division of the hundred arc held here. There

 most perfect specimens of that architect's style. Its elevation is simple, yet 
 imposing ; and its plan that of a perfect quadrangle, with rusticated groins, 
 divided into a basement and two principal stories. The doorway in the 
 centre is ascended by a flight of steps, and surmounted by an eUiptical 
 pediment. The windows have bold carvings, with architrave and cornice, 
 and its high sloping roof terminates vdHi dropping-eaves and blocked 
 cornice, having dormer windows finished Avith pediments ; a balustrade and 
 gazebo crown the whole. The interior is finished in the same style, with 
 bold projecting mouldings and ornamented ceilings. The grounds abound 
 with pleasing scenery, and are diversified by that irregularity of surface 
 whicli renders landscape picturesque and beautiful. The river Cole 
 meanders thi'ough the vale wliich skirts the western side of the park, and 
 the town of Highworth in the distance forms an agreeable object. 1 m. w.

 the attention of the antiquary, for at tliis place are the ruins of the most 
 gigantic and most interesting of our British moniunents, and yet perhaps 
 less known tlian many objects of a similar nature ; for though it may be 
 classed with Stoneheuge, Stanton Drew, Long Meg and her Daughters, and 
 various other monuments of the kind, and surpasses all in the number 
 and magnitude of its upright stones, its vallum and foss, and its collateral 
 appendages, it has failed to attract the same degree of attention and 
 notoriety which attaches to many of the others. This is to be accounted 
 for by the relative situations ; for while Stoneheuge, being placed on a 
 commanding and conspicuous spot near a prosperous city has had many 
 essays and volumes published respecting it, Avebury, being a village, 
 obscui'ed by trees, hedges, and houses, is so little seen as a whole, that, 
 with the exception of Dr. Stukeley's folio volume, there has been very 
 little published about it. In its original state, tliis great temple must 
 have presented a singular and impressive a]")pearance. The whole is 
 sui-rounded by a broad ditch and lofty vallmu ; within the enclosure 
 was a series of upright stones, consisting of one huncb-ed in niunber, 
 placed at a distance of twenty-seven feet from each other, aud mostly 
 nieasm'ing from fifteen to seventeen feet in height, aud about forty feet in 
 circumference. Within the area of tliis circle, the diameter of which was 
 about one thousand foiu- huudi-ed feet, were two double circles, each 
 consisting of two concentrix cii-cles, and comprising the same niunber of 
 stones. Li the interior of the south concentrix was an upright stone of 
 larger size than any other, as it measm-ed more than twenty feet in height, 
 and within the northern were tlu-ee stones, placed perpendicularly, aud 
 ha-ving a large flat one for an impost, which appears originally to have 
 measm-ed seventeen feet by thiiiy-five feet. There were two entrances into 
 the grand circle, formed by rows' of upright stones. On the north side of 
 that leading towards Birkliampton was another group of three stones, two 
 of which still remahi, aud are verbally denominated the Devil's Quoits. 
 1-2 m. s. of Avebm-y is Kexnet, noted for the peculiar excellence of its

 Chippenham. A parliamentary aud municipal borough town and

 and woollens. Its retail trade is still brisk, and its markets well attended. 
 It consists principally of one street, ia the centre of which is the to\ra hall, 
 and has a large and ancient chui-ch, a portion of which dates from the 
 12th century. Ai-ea of parish, 9,100 a. It has a union workliouse, a

 natural features, and richly adorned with plantations. Within the 
 boundaries of the park there are no less than mne beautifid valleys, in the 
 broadest of which is a noble lake, and on an elevated piece of groimd alwve 
 is the mansion, which is of three distinct features, having been bmlt at 
 various periods ; the edifice, therefore, presents an ii-regular mass. The 
 chief front was built from the designs of the Adams', in the modem 
 Italian viUa style; a large wing, in imitation of a wing of Dioclesian's 
 palace, three hundred feet in extent, was sidjsequently added, aud forms the 
 southern side of two quadrangular courts, which are surrouuded by domestic 
 offices.

 founders, styled Maeldelmesbyrigg, which has gradually been altered to the 
 modern appeUatiou of Mabiiesbury. It was splendidly endowed, and its 
 revenue at the dissolution amounted to £803 17s. Id. A part only of the 
 nave remains, which has long been used as the parish church. A town 
 soon rose round the abbey ; and notmthstauding it was burnt by the 
 Danes in the reign of Alfred the Great, it became a place of much import- 
 ance. In the reign of Hemy I. a strong castle was built, which suffered 
 much under the invasion of Prmce Henry, afterwards Henry II. During 
 the civd war, in the reign of Charles I., the town was besieged and captured 
 by Sir William Waller ; it was aftei-wards retaken by the Royalists, who 
 could not however long retain it, and the parliamentary troops kept 
 possession until June, 1(546. Burton HiU House, John Cockerill, Esq. ;

 interesting fabric. 2 m. further w. Stanton St. Quinton Park. n. Huisli 
 Park, Thomas Clutterbuck, Esq. 1^ further, Kington St. Michael. 
 The chui'ch was erected, as tradition reports, by Michael, Abbot of Glaston- 
 bury, in the reign of Henry III., but the style indicates it to be of earlier 
 date. It consists of a nave, chancel, and two side aisles, with a tower at 
 the west end, which Kttle more than a centiu-y ago was, according to 
 Aubrey, surmounted by a spire. The north doorway has a semi-circidar 
 arch, with zigzag moiddings, and has a crowned head (supposed to be that 
 of King Etheh-ed, whose seat this was) cut in bold relief over the key-stone. 
 Three of the arches dividing the nave from the aisles are also cii'cular, as 
 is that which separates it from the chancel. The other arches are in the 
 early i)ointed style, and so are all the windows, except those of the tower, 
 which are rounded. Li some of the windows are fragments of stained 
 glass, exhibiting mutilated representations of male and female figures, 
 coats of arms, &c. Aubrey states that the south window, in his time, 
 contained full-length portraits of King Ethelred and his Queen. In the 
 church are several ancient monuments. Kington House, Nathan Atherton, 
 Esq. 5 m. n.w. Castle Combe House, George Poulett Scrope, Esq., M.P.

 One of the most perfect and picturesque remains of a monastic institution 
 in the kmgdom, is situated in a level aud fertile part of the comity, adorned 
 with venerable trees, and the meandering river Avon. The ancient 
 buildings of the nunnery are preserved with great care, and yet the 
 residence is replete with modern comforts. The abbey was foiuided by Ela, 
 Countess of Salisbury, in 1233. At the dissolution the abbey was granted 
 to Sir Hemy Sherrington, Knight, who converted the ancient buildings into 
 a residence, preserving with religious veneration any portion of tlie old 
 fabric. The carriage front, the jn-ineipal compartment of the edifice, is 
 flanked by octagonal tm-rets, crowned with cupolas, similar to the buildings 
 of the period of Hemy VIII., aud the roof partially concealed by an 
 ornamented opeu parapet. The principal entrance is by a double flight of 
 steps. On the left is a range of buildings, having two pouited windows, 
 with buttress and battlements, and beyond a liigh gable-roofed building. 
 On the right angle is a large octangular towei-, ornamented with balustrades, 
 aud a staircase turret crowoied with a cupola. On the garden front is a 
 large tower, with a curious old gabled building, having a t^visted ornamental 
 cliimney, and on the east side are the remains of the chapter house, vestry, 
 and old kitchen. The ancient cloister, a remarkable feature in the edifice, 
 extends round tlu'ce sides of the quadrangle ; on the fourth are the haU and 
 cellars. Several parts of the mansion bear a modern character in their 
 construction. Lackham House, Captain Erederick William Kooke. A 
 large stone mansion, situated in a large fertde park. Ragbridge Cottage, 
 Miss Ridler. A little fiu'ther, Bowden Park, Egerton Harman, Esq. The 
 house was built from designs of Sir Jeffrey Wyatville, the celebrated 
 architect, by the late Bernard Dickenson, Esq. Its principal front towards 
 the west has a semi-circular portico, with Ionic columns. It stands on the 
 brow of a stee]) hill, commanding extensive prospects. The grounds are 
 beautifully disposed, with plantations and luxuriant woods. At the eastern 
 extremity of the park is a handsome lodge, from the design of the same 
 architect. A little further, Spye Park, John Baynton Starky, Esq. The 
 house stands on lofty ground, near the south-west extremity of the park, 
 aud commands a fine distant prospect. This was once one of the best- 
 timbered estates in the county, but many of the venerable trees were 
 felled some years ago. The mansion is an old structure, with a modern 
 front. It was the residence of the witty aud profligate Earl of Rochester, 
 the friend of Charles II., of whom Lord Orford observed: "He was a 
 man whom the Muses loved to inspire, but were ashamed to avow." 
 
 Box, county of Wilts, is a parish comprising an area of 4,150 A. It

 Western Railway Company at Box Hill in this parish, which passes through 
 a freestone formation a distance of one mile and three-quarters. Many 
 Roman antiquities have been discovered in the neighbourhood. Shailors

 the Box Brook, and bears in its name the memory of some great slaughter, 
 as tradition reports of the Danes. T\liitaker, in liis " Life of St. Neot," 
 contends that it was the scene of the battle of Ethandum ; but various 
 opinions are entertained as to the accuracy of this statement. A short 
 distance from Slaughterford, near the Fosse Boad, is a large wood, called 
 Bury Wood, within which are the remains of a large encampment, reputed 
 to be of Danish construction, and supposed to have been the fortress to 
 wliich the Danes retreated after their defeat. This entrenchment is stated 
 to consist of a double ditch and vallum, enclosing an area of eighteen 
 acres, and having two entrances. In this vicinity is the village of Colne, 
 wliich was ahnost totally destroyed by fire in 1770. Near Slaughterford 
 is BiDDESTONE, or BiDSTON, a parish of considerable extent, and comprises 
 a district which was formerly divided into two parishes. Li the church is 
 a monument to the memory of Edmund Smith, M.A., who was a poet of 
 some repute, and died in 1709.

 of a nuunery also, but there are no vestiges of it. In the vicinity, at a 
 place called the Bocks, are three stones, wliich mark the limits of the 
 counties of Somerset, Gloucester, and Wilts.

 extending one hundi-ed and thirty feet. The style is Corinthian, surmoimted 
 by a liuc'balustrade. From the centre front a fine portico projects, sup- 
 ported by six large and elegant columns. Fielding, who laid the scene of 
 the early years of " Tom Jones" at this place, has given a pictiu-e of the 
 beautifiil situation of the mansion, whose former occupier, Mr. Allan, is the 
 " Allworthy" of his novel. Making allowance for the fancies of an author 
 in an imaginary river, sea, distant island, and ruined abbey, the description 
 is tolerably correct ; at least many of its most agreeable featiires are real. 
 It was here that Pope passed some of the happiest days of his life in the 
 society of its foimder, Mr. Allan, to whom also he introduced his friend 
 Warburton, and was thus the founder of his fortune. 1 m. fui-ther, 
 IMidford Castle, Charles John ConoUy, Esq. The castle is situated on 
 the brow of a lull, which descends to the village of INIidford on the old 
 Warminster Road. This structure stands on a bold projection, surrounded 
 with elegant terrace plantations, which command at different points several 
 picturesque views of the vale and sm-rounding hills. It was erected about 
 seventy years ago by Disney Roebuck, Esq., on a most curious plan, which 
 combines the interior convenience of modern architecture with the dignity 
 and grandem- of the ancient. It was pui'chased by Charles ConoUy, Esq., of 
 Tatchbury !Mount, Hampsliii-e, the great-grandfather of the present proprietor, 
 and to his excellent taste and judgment both the castle and enclosures 
 round it are greatly indebted for their present beauty and elegance. Besides 
 other improvements, he fiu'nished the principal apartments with many 
 valuable paintings of celebrated masters, and other cmiosities. Attached 
 to the castle is a chaste Gothic chapel, the interior of which is ornamented 
 with several curious specimens of ancient Christian sculpture. On the 
 north-east of the pleasure wood stands a very pictui-esque building, called 
 The Priory, which serves as an ornament to the plantations, and to unfold 
 the view of a beautiful glen, and several cascades, all of his formation. 
 1 m. fiu'ther, Hinton Charter House. It is an extensive freestone

 Romans l)y the name of Aquge Solis, and its first baths were erected in the 
 reign of the Emperor Claudius. Its eharter, granted by Richard I., 
 was confirmed by Henry III., and considerably extended by George III. 
 The position of this city is most imposing : it is enclosed by an amphi- 
 theatre of hiUs, on the western declivity of which its finest buililings extend 
 in a succession of terraces. The houses, being mostly built of white free- 
 stone, with great attention to architectui'al beauty, Bath has acquired the 
 just reputation of being the handsomest provincial city in the thi-ee king- 
 doms. Amongst its public buildings we may cite the Abbey Church, in the 
 latest Gothic style, two hundred and ten feet in length, with a tower one 
 hundred and seventy feet in height. This fabric was the chiu-ch of the 
 venerable monastery to wliich it was attached. St. JMichael's, St. James's, 
 the freemasons' lodge, assembly and concert rooms, a splendid theatre, 
 subscription club-house, the guildhall, the gaol, several well-endowed 
 hospitals, and the bath-houses. The hot springs, to which this city owes 
 its name and its celebrity, are saline and chalybeate, at a temperature of 
 from 90° to 117° Tahr. ; they rise on the bank of the Avon, and supply 
 five establishments — the King's, Queen's, Cross, Hot, and Abbey baths. 
 The first four belong to the corporation, and, notvnthstanding the decHue of 
 the city's celebrity, yield a revenue of about £1,500. The Great Pump 
 Room at the King's Bath is eighty-five feet in length, forty-eight feet in 
 breadth, and thirty -foui" feet in height, and contains a marble statue of the 
 famous Beau Nash, the master of tbe ceremonies, to whom Bath owed much 
 of its prosperity. The Abbey Baths are private property, belonging to the 
 Earl ]\Ianvers. They are fiu'nished in a very superior style, and are fre- 
 quented only by the most wealthy sojom-ners. Bath possesses a grammar 
 school, founded by Edward VI., to the mastership of which is attached the 
 rectoi-y of Charlcombe ; and a blue-coat and national schools. Among its 
 charitable institutions we may cite Partis's CoUege, for thii-ty decayed 
 gentlewomen, and the hospital of St. John the Baptist, with a revenue of 
 £.11,395. Among its leai-ned establishments, we may mention the Bath 
 and West of England Society, a literary and pliilosophical institution, a 
 pubUc subscription library, a mechanics' institute, and a Roman Catholic 
 collegiate establishment. Bath was once famous for its manufacture of 
 coarse woollens, termed " Bath Coating," but it has greatly declined. The 
 area of the borough is 980 a.; population, 52,346; registered electors 
 (1813), 2,911. It sends two members to Parliament. The corporation 
 revenue (1847), was £23,345, and its expenditure, £19,928. Markets, 
 Wednesday and Saturday ; fairs, February 14th and July lOth. Bath, 
 with Wells, form a bishopric, comprising within its diocese aU the county 
 of Somerset, except a part of Bristol ; but the Bishop's palace and the 
 catheckal are at Wells. Among the promenade and public walks of Bath, 
 Victoria Park and Sidney Gardens are delightful resorts ; and at Lansdown, 
 a short distance from the city, races are held, at which there are two meetings 
 in the spring, and a week after Ascot. 3 m. n.w. Aston Lodge, Robert

 between the Britons and Saxons, in the year 599 ; and an encampment on 
 Hinton Hill is pointed out as the Saxon camp, including twenty acres. 
 Dyrham Park is a very handsome mansion, the principal front being 130 
 feet in length. The park contains nearly 500 acres. 2 m. fiu'ther, 
 Dodington Park, C. W. Codringtou, Esq. On the brow of the hiU, 
 at Little Sodbury, are the remains of a very strong camp, in the form of 
 an ol)long square, extending from north to south about 300 yards, and from 
 east to west 200 yai-ds. The north-west side is defended by a jirecipitous 
 declivity, the other three by double ditches and ramparts. This is the last 
 of a series of five camps on the points of the Cotswold Hills, fi'om Painswick 
 to Little Sodbury. The whole are siipposed to have been formed or 
 occupied by the Romans.

 aud possesses many ancient monuments, particularly one in honour of Sir 
 Thomas Bridges. It has a union workliouse, and some smaU woollen and 
 linen manufactures. Area of parish, 3,330 a. Market-day, Thursday. At

 Bristol. A sea-port, city, and county of itself, so constituted by 
 Edward HI., although properly speaking it lies in the counties of Somerset 
 and Gloucester. It was a place of eminence in the time of the Anglo- 
 Saxons, but its origin is uncertain, although it is ascertained to have been 
 fortified as early as the 3rd ceutuiy. In the time of the Normans it 
 possessed a castle, built by the Earl of Glo'ster, son of Henry I. Under 
 Hem-y 'VTII. it was erected into a bishopric, which has latel;^ been united 
 with \hat of Gloucester. Dm-ing the riots of 1831 the episcopal palace 
 and many of the other buQdings were destroyed. It is situate on the 
 Avon, at its confluence with the Frome, eight miles south-east of its 
 embouchure in the Bristol Channel. The area of the borough, including 
 the district added by the Municipal Act, is 9,870 a., and it extends over 
 several hills and intermediate valleys. The Old City between the Avon and 
 the Erome is LU-built, and further south the buildings are of an inferior 
 character, but the squares, new streets, and modern residences aU around 
 are very handsome, especially on the north and west, in the latter of which 
 lies Clifton, wliich is within the city liberty. Bristol is well paved, 
 lighted, and drained, and the supply of water abundant. It contains many 
 public edifices of great beauty, with nineteen chm-ches of the Established 
 religion, of wliich the most interesting are those of St. Mary RedclifF, 
 completed in 1376, and considered one of the finest in England, St. James's, 
 formerly collegiate, St. Stephen's, built about 1470, St. Mark's, now the 
 chapel of the mayor, and the Temple Church. The Cathedi'al is a beautiful 
 structm-e, foimded in the time of King Stephen. It has a tower one 
 hundi-ed aud forty feet high, ornamented wath foui- pinnacles. This building 
 contains many Gothic beauties. It is adorned with painted \vindows, and 
 possesses several elegant monuments, particularly one to Mrs. Draper, the 
 Eliza of Sterne. Its gateway is one of the most splendid remnants of 
 Gothic architecture extant. The other principal buildings are the exchange, 
 built in the Corinthian style, erected at a cost of £50,000, and used as a 
 com market, the commerce rooms, the guildhall, bmlt in the reign of 
 Richard H., the new council hall, gaol, and bridewell ; the Bristol institu- 
 tion and the infirmary, which possesses fine lil)raries and museums, and 
 receive amiually aliout 7,500 patients, the general hospital, the Victoria

 theatre, and numerous fine bridges. About a mile from the city is the 
 celebrated Bristol hot weU, said to be a specific for scorbutic and other 
 diseases. Of the munerous schools aud charities in this city we may cite a 
 few: the graimnar school, founded in 1532, has several small exhibitions, 
 and two fellowships of £30 each at St. John's CoUege, Oxford. Queen 
 Elizabeth's Hospital educates one hundred boys, aud has a revenue of £5,000. 
 In 18il there were nearly sLx himdred schools in the city, educating 
 twenty-one thousand eight himdred and sixty-four pupds, of wliich Uvelve 
 were endowed. There are also numerous almshouses, and other charities, 
 estbnated at £23,000, besides £12,000 and £15,000 voluntary ammal 
 contributions. Bristol has a new proprietary college belonging to the 
 Baptists, a school of mediciae, a public hbrary of thirty thousand volumes, 
 also distmct law and medical libraries, and a mechanics' institution. It 
 was long esteemed the second city of the empire, but other ports have 
 carried away much of its commerce. It has still large iron and brass 
 foundiies, copper, tin, zinc, and glass-works, chemical and colour-works, 
 sugar refineries and distilleries, and considerable manufactures of pins, 
 shot, china, earthenware, soap, leather, tobacco, cottons, hats, and floor- 
 cloths, with huge establishments for ship-building. The Avon, though 
 narrow, is deep enough at Bristol for the largest ships, and at the 
 commencement of the present century its course was turned at a cost of 
 £700,000, leaving the old channel to form a harbour, furnished with locks 
 and quays six thousand feet m length. At Bmgroad, m the mouth of the 
 river, ships of large burthen aud first-class steamers load aud discharge. 
 Bristol stiU retams a large share of the West India trade, and imports all 
 colonial produce, as well as wool, turpentine, hemp, timber, wme, and 
 brandy from North and South America, the Baltic, and France. Its 
 exports are its manufactured goods to foreign ports, and colomal produce to 
 L-eland. Value of exports, in 1845, £216,778. In the same yeax 
 four hundred and thirty-two British and foreign sliips, aggregate bm-den, 
 97,764 tons, entered, and two hundred and forty-three, burden, 69,000 
 tons, cleared out of the port. Customs' revenue (1846), £911,314 13s. ; 
 registered shipping (1847), two hundred and ninety-five vessels, aggregate 
 burden, 38,914 tous. It has a chamber of commerce, and several 
 mercantile coi-porate bodies, with six banks. The regular steam com- 
 munication with the United States was first established at Bristol, where
 
 222

 the ' Great Britaiu' steamer was built. The govenuneut of the city is by a 
 mayor, sixteen aldermen, and forty councillors ; and the corporation has 
 jurisdiction over the Avon from four miles above the city dowTi to the sea, 
 and along the channel to Clevedou, and the right to license pilots to 
 numerous ports in the Bristol Channel. Corporation revenue (1SJ:3), 
 £49,176 ; in 1S47, £48,473 ; expenditui-e, £53,000. Markets, daUy, that 
 on Thursday for cattle. Pairs for horses, leather, &c., March the 1st, and 
 September the 1st. The spring assizes for civil causes, quarter sessions, 
 sheriff's, and other coui-ts, are held here. Bristol belongs to the Clifton and 
 Bedminster poor-law union. It sends two members to Parliament, and the 
 registered electors in 1S46 amounted to 11,032. Bristol claims to be the 
 birthplace of Sebastian Cabot, Chatterton, Southey, and Bayley the 
 celebrated sculptor.

 Although this railway does not display the same amount of engineering wonder and 
 difficidties as many others, on which the tunnels, viaducts, cuttings, and embankments 
 ai'e of such a gigantic natui'e as to give of themselves a character to the line, it must be 
 confessed that few, if any, present greater natural beauties, the country wliich it traverses 
 being highly pictm-esque, and offermg the most pleasmg and romantic prospects to the 
 traveller's notice. About a mUe from Bristol the line branches off fronx the Great 
 Westeni on the right, and before it reaches the first station passes through a tunnel 
 about three hundi-ed feet in length. From Yatton there is a short branch of four miles to 
 the village of Clevedon, which is situated on the Bristol Chamiel. From this station to 
 the Banwell Station there is nothing in the consti"uction of the Hne wliich is worthy of 
 especial notice, except the neat bridge across the river Yeo ; but the country is 
 remarka])le for its beauty, the romantic nature of its scenery being greatly increased by 
 the Meudip HiUs on the left, while on the right there is an uninteiTupted new of the sea,

 Clifton is a watering-place aud parish. It comprises elegant terraces 
 and crescents, built on the sides aud sununit of a precipitous Uuiestoue hill, 
 commands fine views, aud is separated from a similar cHff by a deep chasm, 
 through which flows the ua'V'igable Avon. Its cclelsratcd hot baths have a

 There is a branch Kne in progress wliich is intended to pass close 
 to it. This ancient municipal borough and market-town contains an area of 
 7,216 a. It consists of two parishes, and two streets, crossing each other 
 at right angles, the ancient mai-ket cross, once so admired, but now so 
 decayed, standing at the. point of intersection. Of its once splendid abbey, 
 which Avith its dependencies covered sixty acres, and with the abbey 
 lands produced an income of £40,000 per annum, nothing remains but 
 the ruins of the church, St. John's Chapel, and the Abbot's Kitchen. 
 Many other interesting monuments of Glastonbury's halcyon days of 
 ecclesiastical power are stUl extant, such as 'St. George's Inn,' formerly 
 the abbey hospitium, the abbey house, the tribunal, the great gate- 
 house, now also an inn, the Hospital of St. John, founded in 1246, the 
 two ancient parish churches, and St. Michael's Tor, a most interesting 
 tower on a Mil near the town. The chm-ch and monastery appertaining 
 to it were destroyed by an earthquake in 1271. The abbey was founded in 
 605, on the site of a British chui'ch, said to owe its origin to St. Joseph of 
 Arimathea, whose " miraculous thorn," wliich constantly blossomed on 
 Christmas Day, and the shi-ine of St. Dunstan, one of its abbots, attracted 
 multitudes of the faithful in the Middle Ages. At this venerable and long 
 venerated place many kings, nobles, and prelates were interred, amongst 
 whom was the illustrious Arthiu', whose remains were discovered some 
 centuries back, under the front of the high altar of the abbey chm-ch. At

 Taunton, one of the principal towns in the county of Somerset, and a 
 parliamentary borough, is situated on the river Tone, and contains a 
 population of 12,306, within an area of 2,730 a. A castle was built here 
 for a royal residence by Ina, King of the West Saxons, about the year 700, 
 in wliich he held his fii'st great council. This castle was afterwards 
 demolished by Ids Queen, Ethelburga, after expelling Eidbright, King of 
 the West Saxons, who liad seized it. The town and manor arc supposed to 
 have been granted to the chui'ch of Winchester in the following reign, and 
 another castle is said to have been bmlt on the site of the first oy the 
 Bishop of Winchester in the reign of Wdham the Conqueror. At tliis 
 period Taunton had a mint, some of the corns bearing the Conqueror's 
 effigy bein^ stiU in existence. In the reign of Hem-y VIL, in 1497, Perkin 
 Warbeck siezcd the town and castle, which he quickly abandoned on the 
 approach of the King's troops. In 1645 it again participated ia civil war, 
 bemg celebrated for the long siege it sustained, and the defence it made 
 under Colonel (afterwards tlie renowned Admiral) Blake, who held it for 
 the Parliament against 10,000 troops under Lord Goring, until relieved by 
 Fairfax. Taunton was again im]ilicated in rebellious proceedings by its 
 connection with James, Duke of Monmouth, who was proclaimed King on 
 the Comhill of tins town June 21st, 1685, many of whose followers, 
 after Ins defeat at Sedgmoor, were inhumanly put to death on the same 
 spot by the bmtal Kirke, without fonn of trial, besides those who were 
 condemned by the merciless Judge Jeffreys at the bloody assize which lie 
 held here in the following September. This very ancient town is well 
 built, the streets arc wide and open, wlule most of the houses have small 
 gardens in front. Its two churches arc dedicated to St. James and 
 St. Mary. The latter is a splendid speeiiuen of IIk; fforid Golliie, and its 
 lofty tower is said to b(> of truly magnificent workmanship. The iiderior, 
 roof, &c., deserve inspcelion, and its organ is the finest in the country. It

 erected a castle, and it was one of the first towns seized by the barons, 
 temp. Henry III. It was in this town also that the imfortuuate Duke of 
 Monmouth was proclaimed King, and lodged some time in the castle pre- 
 viously to his defeat at Weston Moor, 3 m. distant ; and it is also cele- 
 brated as the principal scene of Judge Jeffrey's butcheries, assisted by 
 Colonel Kirke, after the battle, when nearly all the prisoners (1,500) were, 
 as it is said, executed. The town is irregularly built, but the streets are 
 well paved. The church, which is very ancient and has the loftiest s]iire 
 in the county, is considered a very fine specimen of Gothic architecture, 
 and possesses an altar-piece of exquisite beauty, said to be by Guido, the 
 subject of which is "The Descent from the Cross." Bridgewater has a 
 granunar school and other endowments, an abnshouse, infirmary, town hall 
 and market-house, with a dome and Ionic portico, union M'orkhouse, gaol, 
 court-house, and thi-ee banks, most of which are creditable buildings in 
 point of architectm-e. The entrance of its harbour is difficult, but the 
 quay is accessible to vessels of 200 tons. It is comiected with Taunton by 
 means of its canal. The borough returns two members to Parliament, anil 
 the registered electors in 1846 were 529. It is also a polling place for 
 West Somerset. Bridgewater was the birthplace of the celebrated Admiral

 the market-house, being very spacious. The chiu'ch is a large and handsome 
 Gothic structure, with an elegant embattled tower at the west end, one 
 hundi-ed feet high. In its south chapel is a splendid monument to the 
 memoiy of the learned Chief Justice Sir John Popham, who had also served 
 the oflace of Speaker of the House of Commons, and was a native of this 
 place, as well as its most munificent patron. His mansion here was 
 garrisoned for the Parliament, and besieged by the Royalists, l)y whom it 
 was destroyed. An hospital for twelve inQrm persons, founded by him, is

 Tiverton. From tliis station is a line to Tiverton, in the cotuity 
 of Devon, a parliamentary and municipal borough town, on both sides 
 of the rivers Exe and Loman. It is of great antiquity, delightfidly situated 
 on the slope of a hill, and contains four principal streets, in a triangular 
 form, enclosing an area of gardens, in the centre of which is a fine bowling- 
 green. The borough contains a population of 10,040, withm an area of 
 1G,790 A. The principal buildings are the castle, the church, and the free 
 grammar school. The castle, from its remains, appears to have been a 
 place of great strength, and in the reigns of King Stephen and Charles I. it 
 was often the scene of military operations. The chui-ch is considered the 
 finest in the whole county, with the exception only of Exeter Cathedral. 
 Its tower is IIG feet in height. The view from the churchyard over the 
 river Exe in its serpentine course, the fertile plain of pasture ground on 
 its banks, the buildings of Westex, and beyond all the rising hills ; the 
 ruins of the castle, surrounded by venerable trees, appearing on the right, 
 and Exe Bridge on the left, baffles all description : it must be seen to be 
 appreciated. The grannnar school, founded by a private gentleman, Peter 
 Blundell, is a noble building, cased with Pui-beck-stone. Tiverton possesses 
 also other grammar and endowed schools, ahushouses and charities, a town 
 hall, theatre, market-house, corn market, assembly and reading rooms. 
 Many of its inhabitants are employed in the manufacture of lace, and some 
 in woollens. A navigable canal connects it with the Tone, Taunton, &c. 
 It sends two members to Parliament, and the number of its registered 
 electors in 1848 amounted to 442. Tiverton has sulfercd much at different 
 periods from fire and pestilential diseases. CoUipriest House ; Rembarton

 a municipal and parliamentary borough, a river-port, a bishopric, and a 
 county in itself. It is situate upon the river Exe, which is here crossed by 
 a handsome stone bridge. It is about three miles in circimifereuce, the 
 area of the city, which includes nineteen parishes, being 1,800 a., with a 
 population of 31,312 — the population of the whole borough bemg 37,231. 
 It has two mam streets, each nearly two miles in length, and crossing at 
 right angles. ]\Iany handsome modern squares and terraces are iutermix.ed 
 with antique narrow streets, and there are two fine market places, and 
 several subiu'bs containing mmierous elegant viUas. Its venerable cathe- 
 dral, which was commenced in the 13th century, is a noble specimen of 
 ancient English architecture, the beauties of whiich we cannot attempt to 
 describe in a work of tliis limited nature. The episcopal palace was built 
 in the reign of Edward IV., and there are fifteen clnu-ehes M-ithin and four- 
 without the city walls, many of which have claims upon the traveller's 
 attention. In the north-east front of the city are the ruins of the castle of 
 Rougemont, once a strong fortress and of great extent ; it was formerly 
 the residence of the West Saxon Kings. Independently of the interest 
 these ruins inspire with the lovers of antiquity, the \iews from the ramparts 
 over the proverbially picturesque scenery of this part of Devonshire are 
 most enchanting. When the castle was erected is miknowai, but it was 
 either rebuilt or repaired by "VYiQiam the Conqueror. In the castle-yard 
 stands the county sessions house. The prhicipal public buildings of the city 
 are the granunar school (founded 1633), a modern comity hospital, lunatic, 
 blind, deaf and dumb asylmns, female penitentiary, iniirmary and work- 
 house, a county and city gaol and bridewell, large cavab-y and artillery 
 barracks, ancient guildkall, containing some interesting portraits, a theatre, 
 circus, baths, ball-room, park, promenade, several fomitains, a public 
 library, museum, atheuseiun, mechanics', and scientific and literary institu- 
 tions, about sis. banks, custom house, bonding warehouse and cloth halls. 
 There are many other well-endowed schools and ancient hospitals. Exeter 
 has also five weekly newspapers, and there arc stiU some manidactures of 
 serges, paper, &c., large breweries and iron foiuickies; but its trade has 
 deebued notwithstanding the improvement of its port by the formation of a 
 floating basin, and the deepening of the Anchorship Canal to Topsham, by 
 which vessels of 300 tons may now approach the city. Markets, Wednesday, 
 Friday, and Satiu'day— Friday being the largest for corn and wool in the west 
 of England. Races in xiu^ust. Corporate revenue (1847), £8,195 ; corpo- 
 rate debt (two-thiixls of \diich. was inem-rcd by the ship canal), £150,000. 
 Exeter sends two members to Parliament, and has done so since 1286. 
 Registered electors in 1847, 3,798; it is also the place of election for the 
 south division of the comity. Exeter was erected into a bishopric in 1050, 
 by Edward the Confessor : it comprises four archdcaneries and 640 benefices, 
 including nearly the whole of Cornwall and Devon. The episcopal revenue 
 in 1831 was £2,700; the revenue of dean and chapter, inclusive of twenty- 
 four prebendaries, about £10,000.

 It stands on a gentle emuience near a noble sheet of water, and consists of 
 a quadrangle, with a large entrance gateway, from whence there is also a 
 door leacUng to a neat chapel. Over the gateway are sculptui'cd the arms 
 of the Eulford family. This house was garrisoned for King Charles duiing 
 the civd wars, and suffered greatly; but was afterwards thoroughly 
 repaired by Colonel Francis PiiKord. In this mansion is the portrait of 
 King Charles, by Vandyke, presented to Su- Erancis Fulford, Knt., by the 
 King, as a testimony of his royal approbation. The park abounds with 
 every description of forest tree, beautiful plantations, and tliat undulating 
 surface which creates so great a charm iu landscape, wliilst the scenery in 
 the vicinity and the views of the distant country are extremely deliglitfid. 
 Close to which is Creedy House, Col. Sir H. E. Davy, Bart. This elegant 
 mansion has two fine fronts, and is delightfully situated in an extensive 
 park, surroimded by a high wall. It was here that the learned Sir 
 Humplu-ey Davy, Bart., resided. A little to the south Crediton, a 
 borough, market-town and parish in Devon. In the reign of Edward I. 
 tliis place sent members to a Parliament held at Carlisle, and in 1316 
 Bishop Stapleton obtained for it the grant of a market and two amiual 
 fairs. Towards the end of the 16th century the opponents of the Reforma- 
 tion assembled their forces at Crediton, but were compelled to withcbaw by 
 Sir Peter Carew, who was sent agaiust them with a superior force. In 
 1644; Charles I. reviewed his troops in this town, which was subsequently 
 possessed by the army under Sir Thomas Fairfax. Crediton is pleasantly 
 situated in a vale, on the banks of the river Creedy, and within i of a mile

 It is scarcely possible to picture to one's mind a more beautiful country than that which is 
 traversed by the South Devon Railway in its short journey of fifty-three mUes from 
 Exeter to Plymouth. It is true that this line. Like the preceding line from Bristol to 
 Exeter, does not present to the eye of the traveller those colossal works which attest the 
 skill and science of the engmeer, and are so conspicuous on the Great T^'esteru and other 
 lines ; but the natural beauties of hills and valleys, magnificent sea-^aews — the radroad 
 absolutely skirting the ocean for many miles after leaving Exeter — the splendid seats with 
 wliich the county is studded, and the venerable towns and prhnitive villages passed in 
 rapid succession, each vying with the other in aU that constitutes the pictui'esque and the 
 beautiful, these lovely scenes more than compensate for the absence of stupendous 
 viaducts, or the dark and dismal tunnels which pierce the bowels of the earth. After 
 lea\dng the Exeter Terminus, the hue crosses the river Exe by a handsome bridge, and 
 continues its course along the right bank to Starcross, a little bevond wluch it skii-ts the

 proximity to the month of the river Exe, and is one of the most frequented 
 watering-places in Devon, its rise ha\-iug being very rapid, as little inore 
 than a eentui-y l)ack it was a small hamlet inliabited by fishermen. One of 
 the Judges on circiut received great benefit from its waters about the 
 period named, which fij-st brought Exmouth into repute. It is fm-nishcd 
 with every accommodation necessary for a watering-place. The town is well 
 sheltered from the north-east and south-east viands by lofty hills which rise close 
 beliind. There are many good houses and an exeeUeut assembly room, &c. 
 The walks are dehghtfnlly pleasant, and conunand splendid views. The 
 tourist is presented \nth a magnificent view of about twenty miles (from 
 a hid called Chapel Hill), extending along the coast from Exeter to Berry 
 Head. This line is broken by several liills tliat gradmdly ascend from the 
 coast on the opposite side of the river, which is intersjjersed with splendid 
 wood and foliage. Behind these hills spring up bokl towering headlands, 
 woody summits, and rocks so formed as to constittite a complete landscape.

 Cro^vn, and about a century aften\-ards it came into the possession of an 
 ancestor of the present proprietor. The hall is a building, or rather mass 
 of buildiugs, of considerable antiquity, of as early a date as the commence- 
 ment of the 15 th century. It stands on an elevated spot, and commands 
 fine views of the beautiful vale of Totness and other distant places. The 
 walls are of black marble, and strongly built. The hall, or apartments now 
 used, appear to be nothing more than offices to the originally superb 
 stnictiu-e. From the remains of walls, it is evident it comprised a double 
 quackangle. Opposite the present edifice are the remains of an inmieuse 
 range of building, supported by au arched front, and the foundations of 
 several walls have been discovered at various times. The ancient mansion 
 was approached by a flight of steps from five dooi-ways projecting from the 
 front. In the present mansion is a fine apartment, called the Great Hall, 
 70 feet in length, aud 40 feet wide. The roof is of oak, curiously framed, 
 and the chimney-piece 14 feet high. The outside is embattled and 
 strengthened by buttresses. There are a collection of paintings by the 
 first masters. The Yineyard, Rev. Richard Champemowne.

 Castle. The ruins of this magnificent fortress are situated on a rocky 
 eminence, at the base of which flows a beautiful brook, aud, combined with 
 the general scenery of the district, fonus one of the most pictm-esque 
 objects in the whole coimty. The castle was erected by one of the noble 
 family of Pomeroy, shortly after the Conquest ; and his progeny resided 
 here until the reign of Edward VL, when the estate was sold to Edward 
 Seymour, Duke of Somerset, in wliich family it has remained ever siuce. 
 The principal remams are, the great gate, the waUs of the south front, the 
 north wing of the court, or quach-angle, some apartments on the west side, 
 and two tuiTcts beautifidly mantled \Wth ivy. Bucktastleigh, a village. 
 An abbey was founded here by Ethelwardus*^ in the reign of Hem-y I., aud 
 vestiges of it are still to be seen. Mauy of the houses in the ^-illage, with 
 a large manufactory, were biult with materials from the ruins of the abbey, 
 and a modern Gothic mansion has been erected on part of its site. Prior 
 to the dissolution a weekly market was held — the market -house is still 
 standing. The chmxh is situated on an eminence northward fi-om the 
 village, and comprises a nave, chancel, transepts, and a tower, and two 
 small chapels on the uoi-th and south sides. Within the Hmits of the 
 parish are vestiges of an encampment.

 Battle Abbey, Sii- Godfrey V. Webster, Bart. The remains of tliis ancient 
 and higlily historical structnre were converted into a mansion house by the 
 descendants of Sir Anthony Browne, who piu'chased the estate of the 
 grantee, soon after the dissolution of monasteries. Much of the old abbey 
 had however been destroyed, and the materials sold. The grand entrance 
 is composed of a large square Gothic building, embattled at the top with a 
 fine octagonal tower at each corner : this is supposed to be part of the 
 original building, at all events it is of very ancient date. The tront of the 
 gateway faces the town, and is adorned with a series of arches and neat 
 pilasters. The remains of the abbey occupy nearly thi-ee sides of a large 
 quadrangle, and it is supposed that the fourth was taken down when the 
 opposite side was converted into a modern habitation, in order to open the 
 view. The side of the square occupied at the present time by the dwelling- 
 house has imdergone the greatest alterations. The remaining side opposite 
 to the gateway consists of two low parallel walls, which once supported a 
 suite ot chambers, and terminated m handsome turrets : this was part of 
 another gate. On the outside of the house a]ipear nine elegant arches, 
 wliich are the only remaius of the old abbey church, and ui all probability 
 belonged to the inside of a cloister. The other ruins consist of a great hall, 
 or retectory, standing contiguous to the church ; but the most beautifid 
 part of the remains is a detached biulding, used as a barn. It has twelve 
 wdndows on one side, and six on the other. Under the hall is a curious 
 vaulted-building, in the Gothic style, formed by crypts of freestone, divided 
 by elegant pillars and springing arches. With the exception of a heavy 
 modern roof, this may be considered the most ancient part of tlie abbey.

 Maidstone, a parliamentary and municipal borough, and market-town, 
 county of Kent, situated on the river Medway, which is here crossed by a 
 bridge of five arches. It sends two members to Parliament. Registered 
 electors (184S), 1,.5.56. It is an assize towm, and the principal place of 
 election for West Kent. In the time of the Britons it was a considerable 
 city, the various interesting ecclesiastical buildings it now" possesses proves 
 its importance in the middle ages. Its spacious clnu-ch, known as " The 
 Pilgrims' Chapel," has been s])lendidly restored, and may be regarded as one 
 of the most ancient parisli churches in the kingdom. Here are also the 
 remains of a priory, part of wliich is used as a school, an ancient palace, 
 formerly belonging to the Archbishop of Canterbury, and many very ancient 
 and cimous houses, and a market-cross. Amongst its public edifices, we 
 may enumerate the town and county halls, county limatic asylum, county 
 gaol, house of correction, union workhouse, large ban-acks, covmty assembly 
 and concert rooms, theatre, Library, philosophical society, mechanics' insti- 
 tute, and the banks. Amongst its educational and charitable institutions, 
 are a proprietary, and a grammar and other endowed schools, and nmnerous 
 abn.shouses. Tlie position of Maidstone, in the " Vale of Kent," is beautifid, 
 the land is most fertile, and produces the best hops in the whole county. 
 It was lierc that the hop-vine was first planted upon its introduction into 
 Englaud, in the 16th century. Vessels of sixty tons come up to the town, 
 by wliich means the stone oi' the neighbouring quarries is exported. There 
 arc several extensive paper mills in the vicmity of the town, which is 
 continually increasing in commercial importance and prosperity. During 
 the civil wars of the 17th century, Maidstone stood two attacks from the 
 parliamentary forces. Market, Thursday. The Mote, Earl of Romney.

 The advantages of selecting a conveiiieut metropolitan terminus is fully shown in 
 the case of this Hue. Had tliis line terminated even a quarter of a mile south of its 
 present site, the whole of the south and soutii-eastward lines would assuredly have been 
 carried to independent termini. The line leavuio- the London Terminus in the borough, 
 runs along the side of Tooley Street to the rig-lit of St. John's Church, Horsleydown ; 
 thence crosses the Nichirigu and Grange Roads, and continues to the right of St. James's

 town, which has undergone vast improvements within the last twenty 
 years, has an Eui'opeau reputation from the magnificence of its hospital 
 for decayed seamen, erected on the site of the ancient palace of the Sove- 
 reigns of England, the Placeutia of the Tudors and the Stuarts, which is 
 said to have been erected from the designs and under the superintendence 
 of Sir Reginald Bray, Speaker of the House of Commons, who greatly 
 assisted in the construction of Henry VII.'s beautiful chapel at West- 
 minster, and St. George's Chapel at Windsor (see Manning's " Lives 
 of the Speakers"). This noble pile, certauily the finest palatial structui-e 
 in the kingdom, was commenced in the reign of Charles 11., granted by 
 William III. as an asylum for decayed or disabled seamen of the royal 
 navy, and completed, by the aid of parliamentary grants, from designs and 
 under the personal but gratuitous superintendence of Sir Christopher 
 Wren. It consists of four noble quadJraugles, between Greenwich Park 
 and the Thames, having a river frontage or terrace 865 feet in length, 
 bounded by a noble iron palisade extending throughout its entire length, 
 which forms one side of the great square; tlie buildings on the other two 
 sides are surmoimted by domes of beautifid ])roportions. At the head of 
 the square is the older portion of the palace, built by Inigo Jones. The 
 hospital contains dormitories and dining-haUs for 2,700 pensioners, inde- 
 pendently of those who live outside the hospital; a beautiful chapel, 
 ornamented with carved work, and one of West's best pictures — the Ship- 
 wreck of St. Paid; a spacious hall 106 feet in height by 56 hi breadth,

 missioners for the management of its estates, &c., now amounts to an 
 annual revenue of nearly £140,000, the expenditure being £13'±,233 per 
 aummi. Near the hospital is a naval school for the sous of officers and 
 seamen. Greenwich Church is a very fine stone edifice ; aud of the various 
 charities of the town we may cite Trinity Hospital, founded by the Earl of 
 Northampton in 1G13, and Queen Elizabeth's College, founded by the 
 learned antiquary Sergeant William Lambard in 1558 — the former pro-

 The London Terminus of this short but veiy picturesque line of railway between the 
 metropoUs and Rochester, or more correctly speaking of its suburb, Strood, a distance 
 of tliii'ty-one miles, consists of two narrow passages tlu'ough the north side of the 
 building of the South-Eastern Tenninus, opposite Tooley Street, whicli serve the purposes 
 of Ijookiug-otBces for the first and the second and tliird classes. The platform for the 
 departure and arrival of passengers is similar to that of the Greenwich Eadway, to which 
 it adjoins, and from which it is separated only by a wooden fence between the arched 
 columns which support the roofs of the three stations, Dover — North Kent, and Green- 
 \nc\i, all which belong to the South-Eastern Company. Passmg over tlie densely- 
 populated neighbom'hood of Rotherliithe, &c., by the old and well-known Greenwich 
 viaduct, duiing which the traveller breathes nothing but sulpluu" and ammonia from the 
 myriads of chimney pots just below the level of the line, at a distance of about a mile 
 from the station, the eye is regaled with a view of the Sui-rey Hdls as the tram branches 
 off to the right upon its own viaduct, which passes over low grounds and market-gardens, 
 and is continued by an embankment and cuttings as far as the New Cross Station, from 
 which ])oint the country assumes a perfectly diiferent aspect. Over the embankment of 
 about thii'ty feet in depth at and near New Cross, are several weU-constructed bridges 
 of oue and three arches, of a light and elegant ap])earance; and here and thei'e are 
 bridges for foot-passengers, composed of wood supported by lofty brick piers. 
 
 At the Lcwisham Station, which is on the slope of an eminence, the scene is parti- 
 cularly cheerful, beautiful green meadows risuig abruptly to the summit of the hill on 
 the left, with here and there some remarkably pretty cottage residences and handsome 
 gardens, and the common with its green tm-f intersected by various cross roads, and 
 studded with country inns and houses on the low ground or valley to the right. The 
 country from this to the Blackhcath Station is exceedingly pretty. At Blackheath the 
 heavy work of this Une coumiences, and continues scarcely without intenuission until 
 the line enters the open eoimtry at the Plmnstead Marshes. Deep cuttiugs, lined with 
 brickwork, lead for a considerable distance to the entrance of the long, dark, dismal, and 
 dreary tuuucl, upwards of a mile in length, wliich crosses an entire angle of Blackhcath, 
 from wiiieh the train emerges near to Charlton and thence proceeds onward to the next 
 station, within a stone's throw of Woolwich Dockyard. From tliis spot it passes onwards 
 again tlu'ough short tmuiels and under numerous bridges, which indeed abound on this 
 line, and thi-ough lofty retaining walls tiU it reaches the Woolwich Arsenal Station, and 
 then has a run of some mQes on a slight embankment tlu'ough Pliunstcad Marshes ; the 
 view here beiag boimdcd on the left by the Thames, and the Essex Coast, the rising 
 ground of Plumstcad with its red-towered Chui'ch, and Abbey Wood lying on the right. 
 Beyond the Abbey Wood Station to the riglit arc the beautifid woods of Belvidere, and 
 immediately on the left of the line the pictui-esque and venerable Church of Erith with 
 its primitive s])ire. From the Erith Station to Dartford are occasional views of the 
 river and its shipping, interrupted by a succession of short timnels, bridges, cuttings, 
 and embankments, and, indeed, along the whole line the engineering works sufficiently 
 attest the great amount of laboiu* wliich must have been exi)endcd in its construction. 
 At the Dartford Station is a long viaduct which crosses the river Darent, and carries the 
 line over tliat marshy locahty. Here is a fine view of the town of Dartford on the

 right, and on the left beneath is a pretty lake-like pond, studded witli little islands, and 
 on its banks a neat residence near the large mill. Objects of considerable picturcsqueness 
 which attract the traveller's attention before reacliiug the Greenhithe Station, are the old 
 sandpits, which are traversed by this line. They contain an area of many acres, the 
 cuttiags being of great depth, and it must have been the work of ages to have fashioned 
 them to their present form. On theii* summits trees are growing to the very edges of 
 the cliffs, and here and there are summer-houses in the same perilous position, while the 
 bottoms of the pits are laid out and cultivated with vegetables. Througli the openings 
 that occasionally intervene, and in emerging from some of the short tunnels, the most 
 lovely and diversified prospects now present themselves to the traveller's view. The 
 wide reaches of the noble Thames, ^vith the smoke of innumerable steamers gracefully 
 cui-liug in the au-, contrasted with the snowy wliiteness of the sails of the homeward 
 bound merchantmen, all in motion, adds the gi'catest vivacity to the scene, which is 
 bounded by the distant hdls of Essex, while on the right is that undulating surface of 
 richly-cultivated land for which the county and Kentish fanning are pecidiarly celebrated. 
 At Northtleet another beautiful new presents itself, heightened by the picturesque 
 appearance of Huggins's College, ■^dth its quadi'angular range of buildings, and its 
 elegant spii-e. From this station an almost continuous cutting, of great depth in many 
 places, and crossed by a series of handsome bridges, leads to Gravesend. In the modem 
 ei-ections in this iovra, which have been necessitated by recent fires of great magnitude, 
 there is a general improvement in the style of building, wliich has not been lost siglit of 
 by the Dii"ectors of the Noi-th Kent Railway, who appear by the taste they have here 
 displayed to have emulated the public spirit of the inhabitants. 
 
 The Gravesend Station consists of two very pretty elevations of light-coloured brick, 
 with stone dressings, tlie one on the left for the down train, that on the right of the line 
 for the up train. Although both have considerable architectm-al pretensions, that for the 
 up traiu is a much more imposing building than the other, and consists of a centre, with 
 two slightly-projecting small wings, the space between which is filled up by a portico and 
 entablature, supported by four handsome columns, and two pilasters against the wing 
 walls, of fine stone. The Booking-office and Waiting-room is a weU-proportioned 
 apartment, with a large bay window in the centre, overlooking the Ihie. Handsome 
 glazed sheds cover each side line of way, which are sustained by iron columns, and the 
 roofs supported by ornamental ii-ou girders, the centre liue of rail being open. From the 
 station the cutting is continued, mth occasional retaining walls, and numerous bridges 
 over the Hne, until its jmiction with the Rochester Railway at Milton, near Gravesend, 
 which follows the line of the old canal, and enters the tovra of Strood just after 
 emerging from a tunnel upwards of a mile in length. Tliis tunnel, wliich was executed 
 by the Thames and ]\Iedway Canal Company many years ago, is the only work upon the 
 line the merit of which does not belong exclusively to the Railway Company. ^Ye 
 camiot close this brief account of the North Kent Railway ■«"ithout expressuig our 
 athniration and astonishment at the perseveriug ingenuity and the scientific manner in wluch 
 the natui'al difficulties of this comitry have been overcome by the skill of the engineer. 
 His selection of the line was bold and hardy, but the manner in which it has been 
 accomplished is highly creditable to him.

 annual revenue of £5,000, founded by Sir J. Mordeu in 1695, for decayed 
 merchants, consisting of 30 brethren above 50 years of age, and a chaplain. 
 Tliis spot has figured considerably in liistory, ])articularly as the scene of 
 the early insurrectionary movements of Wat Tyler and Jack Cade. The 
 heath is traversed l)y the Roman Watling Street, and, independently of its 
 curious caves, many sepulchres and relics of the middle ages have here 
 been discovered. From several points of tlie heath, near Greenwich, there 
 are beautifid views of the river and tlie metropolis. Tt is a favourite resort

 laboratory. In the arsenal is a foundry capable of melting from seventeen 
 to eighteen tons of brass metal at one time ; and connected \nth this 
 department is a splendid description of machinery for boring and tiu'ning 
 brass or ii-on guns, workbig in circidar or horizontal directions Avith the 
 greatest correctness. In the extensive range of buildings near the wharf 
 are outfittiugs and every appendage for 10,000 horses for artillery service, 
 kept ready for immcfliate use. It is also the head-quarters of the Royal 
 Corp of Horse and Foot Artillery, Engineers, and the Sappers and ]\Iiners,

 chiu'ch, nearly covered with ivy, with its slender steeple, backed by the 
 ornamental timber of Belvidere Park, render this, particularly when viewed 
 from the river, one of the prettiest and most pictm-csqnc spots between 
 London and the Nore. Woodland Cottage, Mrs. Chamberlayne ; Yewtree

 Edward III. held a tournament at Dartford, on his return from France, 
 in 1331. The most remarkable historical event, however, connected with 
 this manor, was the insurrection under Wat Tyler, in the reign of Richard II., 
 which was as singular in its origui as in its termination. The insolence of 
 the tax-gatherer so incensed the people of this shire, that they rose in arms, 
 making Tyler their Captain. The King having refused a personal interview, 
 they marched to London and siezed the Tower. At length Richard 
 consented to a conference, and repaired to Smithfield, where he was met by 
 Tyler, on horseback, who made such luircasonable demands, and insisted on 
 tliem with sucli rudeness, even lifthig up his sword in a menacing mamier, 
 that Walworth, Lord Mayor of London, with one blow of his sword laid 
 Tvler dead at his feet. 
 
 Greenhitiie, a hamlet, in the parish of Swanscombe, coimty of Kent, 
 situated on tlie banks of the Thames. Many of its population, \yhich 
 exceeds 1,000, are employed in the clialk and lime works in the vicinity. 
 The hamlet consists of a main street, with a pier in the Thames for the 
 convenience of steam-boat passengers. Ingress, James Harmer, Esq. The 
 house is beautifully situated in a park, the lawn reaching the Thames, 
 and is entii-ely built of stones taken from Old London Bridge. 
 
 NoRTHFLEET, On the banks of the Thames, county of Kent. Area of 
 parish, 3,980 a. ; popvdation, 3,G21. The village is on a chalk cliff, rising 
 to a considerable height above the river, and has a venerable church, with 
 some curious brasses of great antiquity, some interesting monuinents, and 
 a massive tower. Near Northfleet is Huggins's College, a noble institution 
 for decayed gentlemen and gentlewomen, in which the comforts of the 
 imnates have received as nmch attentive consideration tVoin its Ijcne- 
 ficent founder, as the architectural beauty of this Samaritan palace. 
 Tlie building is a very conspicuous object in the surrounding scenery, and 
 the Christian kindness wliieh prompted a single individual to found and 
 endow such an institution, must ever be registered in the archives of 
 tlie heart. WombweU Hall, John Blenchley, Esq., Oldbury Cottage,

 D.VRTFORD is situated near to the ancient market-town and parish of 
 Dartford, in the lathe of Sutton, ia the county of Kent, fornierly a royal 
 residence, to which purpose its ancient nunnery, founded in 1335, was 
 converted at the period of the Reformation, and some remains of which 
 now exist. Dartford lies in a valley, on the river Darent, which is 
 navigable from the Thames, and over which is an ancient bridge. The 
 church is a venerable structm-e at the foot of the bill, on the old Dover 
 road, and the town contains a market-house, a county bridewell, union 
 workhouse, grammar and charity schools, branch bank, abnshouses founded 
 in the reign of Henry VI., and other charities. It is the seat of the 
 lathe sessions and a county court. Dartford has extensive gimpowder, 
 paper, oil, and ilour mills, with a factory for steam engines, and carries 
 on a considerable trade with London by the Darent and Thames. Market,

 but that the Kentish men did preserve their privileges is a remarkable 
 and indisputable fact, and these were as frequently insisted upon before 
 the Justices Itinerant, in the reigns of Henry IH. and his successor, 
 Edward, and as frequently acknowledged and confirmed.

 proved by the fact of anchors having been dug up from part of the marsh, 
 a considerable distance from the river ; and if we consider the position of 
 this valley and the size of the ships then used, tliis tradition is not impro- 
 bable. Cadbury House, Francis Andi-ews, Esq.; North End, William

 calamitous, no doubt, to the miiusured owners of property, will have the 
 effect of adding OTcatly to the beauty of the old part of the town, which 
 has been nearly destroyed. The upper town is open, well built, and lighted, 
 containing terraces, handsome rows of houses, new streets, and detached 
 villas, connnencing from the Old London Road, and extending to the top of 
 Windmill Hill, from whence the most extensive and beautiful ])rospects 
 are enjoyed. Liland, over a fertile and pictiu-esque country, studded with 
 ancient seats, while liere and there the lovely villages of Kent, with their 
 venerable embattled clim-ch towers, like distant castles, add imaginary 
 grandeur- to the scene. Seaward, all is motion, from the humble fishuig- 
 sraack to the proud Lichamau ; from the gay, green, mastless and matchless 
 steamboats of the Diamond and Star Packet Companies, to the leviathan 
 Scotch, Irish, and foreign steamers, which at every instant are herald- 
 ing forth their apjjroach from the dangers of the sea into the calm 
 waters of Father Thames by huge masses of black smoke, which rise 
 in graceful cm-Is into the clear blue sky of the horizon. A constant 
 succession of such scenes is presented to the visitor of Gravescnd's famous 
 hill, surpassing in beauty, if not in grandeur, the forests of masts collected 
 in the port of London. ' The principal edifices of the town are the chm-ches 
 and chapels, market house, town hall, a battery, custom house, free school, 
 some handsome endowed ahnshouses, theatre, bazaars, libraries, baths, 
 concert room, and the new river piers, both of wliich are elegant constructions, 
 forming most agreeable promenades, wliile the pubHc gardens on the east, 
 near the new pier, extendiug to the shore, are laid out with great taste, and 
 are much frequented in the season. On the Essex shore, opposite^ to the 
 town (to which there is a ferry), stands Tilbm-y Fort, a large brick fortress, 
 erected by Henry VHI., and sui-roundcd by a moat, wliich, from the marshy 
 nature of the ground, may be completely laid under water. On the west, 
 between Nortlifleet and Graveseud, lies Rosherville, famous for its garden, 
 formed out of an old and extensive chalk-pit, in which there is every species 
 of amusement for the public, consisting of dancuig, singing, instrumental 
 music, &c., concluding with a cUsplay of fireworks. Here is also a new and 
 elegant river pier. In the reign of Richard II. the town of Gravcsend was

 together with some alterations of a modern style, rendered it a building by 
 no means handsome or agreeable in effect, uutd the late Earl, without 
 destroying any portion of the original edifice, rendered it more uniform in 
 appearance and improved its general aspect. At the end of tlie magnificent 
 pictui'e gallery, which occupies a portion of the principal floor of the north 
 wing, is an apartment in which Queen Elizabeth is reported to have slept 
 in one of her progresses through Kent, and in the centre of the ancient 
 ceiling are still preserved her arms and the date, 1.599. The apartments 
 are truly grand and splendidly ornamented. The collection of pictui'cs is 
 very fine. The grounds and plantations have been arranged wath great 
 taste. The deer park and woods are very extensive, and many of the old 
 oaks and Spanish chestnuts are of enormous girth and size. The avenue 
 leading to the village of Cobham, consisting of four rows of lofty old limes, 
 is one of tlie finest specimens of the old style of ornamental planting. The 
 di'ives through the park are most perfectly jneturesque, and the adjoining 
 wood displaying the rich forest scenery and the varied prospects of the 
 rivers Thames and Medway, render this place perfectly grand and beautiful.

 Chatham is a continuation of Rochester, and consists of one lona;, 
 irre^ularlv-lniilt street, well paved and lighted, but remarkable in itsell 
 for little beyond its shops, which are well su])plied. It is a parlia- 
 mentary borough, and sends one member to Parliament. Registered 
 electors, 893 ; population of pai'ish, 15,411 ; population of parliamentary 
 borough, 17,093. The heig]\ts around the town arc crowned by strong 
 forts, and its dockyard is inferior only to that of Portsmouth. It was 
 founded in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and occupies above 90 acres. It 
 contains five tide docks, and six builtUng slips for ships of the largest size, 
 saw mills, forges, machinery works, roperies, an armoiy, officers' and 
 artificers' quarters, a chapel, &e. The military and naval estabUshments 
 are separated from the town by a line of fortifications, and comprise large 
 infantry, marine, engineer, and artillery barracks, a school for engineering, 
 and a noble marine hospital. Opposite the dockyard are moored the hidks 
 for the convicts who work in the dockyard. Brompton, a military 
 suburb of Chatham, is neatly and handsomely budt. The parish chiu'ch 
 of Chatham is abnost entnely modem, but a small portion of the old 
 Norman structure is embodied in it. Bishop Guudulph's Hospital, founded 
 in 1078, with an annual revenue of £3,000, a seaman's hospital, a 
 
 0)rietary school, a literary institution, and a museum, are the cliief public

 This railway, in eonjuuctiou with tlie Guildford and Reigate, connects the important 
 tovrm of Reading and Guildford flith the South-Eastern and Brighton Railways near 
 Reigate. Its junction Mith tlie above-named railways is at the Red HUl Station, 
 tweuty-oue miles south of London. Red Hill is also the point of junction of the South- 
 Eastern Railway Avith the Brighton Railway. 
 
 General Geographical FEATrRES. — The first portion of the line from Reigate to 
 near Guildford, sku'ts the foot of the rauge of hiUs kiiown as the North Dowus, keeping 
 to the north of Reigate, Betchworth, and Dorking ; but making a small divergence to 
 the south as it passes Gomshall, Shjre, Albuiy, and Cliilworth, to avoid 'Mr. H. Drum- 
 mond's Park at Albury. 
 
 The general character of the works on that portion of the line which lies 
 between Reigate and Guildford, consists of short and deep cuttings and moderately 
 high embankments as the line crosses the spui-s thrown out by the North Downs 
 and passes over the intei-vening valleys, which it leaves to the north. After passing 
 a short distance to the south of Shalford the line enters the valley of the Wey, 
 and forms a junction with the Godalming Branch of the South-Western Railway, thi-ee- 
 quarters of a mile fi-om Shalford and one mile south of the town of Guildford. 
 
 Mole Viaduct. — The river ilole at a distance of one mile from the town of 
 Dorking, is crossed by a viaduct consisting of five segmental arclies of thu-ty feet span, 
 at a height of fifty feet above the river. This structvu'e is situated amidst most 
 chanmng sceneiy near the entrance of the vale of Mickleham, and forms a pleasing 
 object in a landscape whose beauty is seldom equalled. 
 
 Wliilst the works of constniction were going on Mr. P. W. Barlow perfected his 
 patent for cast-iron sleepers. They are used on portions of this line ; and as it is most 
 probable that they will work iu railway economy and construction a great change, a 
 description of their form and advantages will not be deemed superfluous iu this place. 
 
 The cast-iron sleeper consists of two parts, each part being three feet two ruches 
 long, eight inches broad, with a strcugtlicuiug flange two inches and a half deep on the 
 under side at one edge, and niiming lengtliways of the sleeper; this flange is still 
 further supported by foui- feather-shaped castings, counecting it with the under surface 
 of the sleeper plate. Near each end and on the upper sui-face are cast half-chairs, so

 was erected, and sucli ^Yas the course of visitors that neither Bath nor Tun- 
 bridge exceeded in splcudom-. About the beginning of the last century 
 these waters gradually lost their reputation, through the knavery of an 
 apothecary, who started in opposition a pump-room. At present the well 
 is preserved, but few visitors resort to it. The prmcipal som-ce of the wealth 
 of Epsom is derived from the races. Horton Place, John Trotter, Esq.,

 Esq. ; The Ebns, James Pierson, Esq. ; Durdans, Sir G. J. Heathcote, 
 Bart. 
 
 i^rtgatc to (Bttillifottr, 
 
 that where the two portions of the sleeper are brought together the rail is securely 
 clipped, and held fast by the chairs being screwed together by means of two screw bolts 
 one inch in diameter, which pass through the lower parts of the half chairs, the chairs 
 being so constructed as to allow the bolt to pass under the rail, when it is fixed in its 
 proper position. 
 
 The joint sleeper is three feet ten inches' long, and has three chairs on it; to these 
 are secured, by a feather-shaped flange on the upper side, a tie -rod, which keeps the rails 
 at their correct gauge, and at the same time preserves the top of the i-ail at its proper 
 level. 
 
 It will be observed that no wood is used in this system of laying the permanent way, 
 thereby at one great step removing an enormous source of outlay in keeping in repair a 
 railway, by doing away with the necessity for constantly renewing the decayed sleepers 
 and keys. But "this is not the only saving ; for the permanent way of a mile of double 
 Line of railway laid with wooden sleepers and keys costs £3,358, whilst hj using the iron 
 sleepers it will cost only £3,037. Again, when a wooden slee])er road is renewed, the 
 decayed wood is useless, whereas the iron, although deteriorated by wear, has lost Little 
 of its actual weight of metal, and can be re-manufactm-ed at a trifling expense. 
 
 Another great saraig wUl be effected by the ii-on sleepers not requiring such a large 
 sum per annum to be laid by for the renewal of the road as it wears out. The sum 
 requh'ed to be expended aminally per mile for renewing a wooden sleeper road is about 
 £92, but for a cast-iron sleeper road it wiU. not be more than £36 per mUe, thus effecting 
 a saving of £56 per mile per amium ; and it is confidently expected that even a much 
 greater saving wiU be effected, as there is every reason to suppose that the ii-on sleepers 
 will last at least twenty years, if not for a longer period, whilst a wooden sleeper cannot 
 be calculated to last longer than twelve years — in fact, some decay in tlirce years. 
 
 It is not only the Railway Companies who will be benefitted by the use of the ii-on 
 sleeper, but the traveUer will experience a greater degree of comfort as he journeys ; for 
 the iron sleeper, by keeping the ends of the rail in the joint sleepers exactly level with 
 each other, does away with that very unpleasant cracking noise that is heard, and the 
 jolt also which is felt as the caniage passes over the joints of a wooden sleeper road.

 died before marriage, the survivor planted a rose at the head of the grave

 the south chancel is an interesting monument to the memory of Sir Thomas 
 Wriothesley, afterwards first Earl of Southampton, Jane his lady, and 
 Heiu:y their son, the second Earl, aU. of whom are represented by effigies on

 of an ancient seat of the Wriothesleys. It was erected by the first Earl of 
 Southampton on the site, and with the materials of an abbey founded for 
 Prcemonstratensian Canons by Bishop Peter de Rupibus in the year 1231. 
 The annual revenue at the dissolution amounted to £280 19.9. lOd. 
 Leland states it was "a righte stateHe house, embattled, and having a 
 goodUe gate, and a conducte castelid in the middle of the com-t of it, in the

 originally bnilt at Porchester by Henry I. in the year 1133, bnt was shortly 
 after removed to Southwick, where it continued to flom-ish until the 
 period of the dissolution. Southwick Park, Thomas Thistlewaite, Esq., 
 includes the site of the priory, a portion of which remains. The manor- 
 house is a large building of some antiquity, having two wings, terminating 
 in gable-ends, and embattled. In this edifice two monarchs have been

 of Buckingham, whom he had thus far accompanied from London, was

 except its church. The present church, or al^bcy, as it is now generally 
 called, although part of a nunnery which was originally founded by 
 Edward the Elder, is a cruciform structure of early Nonnan architecture. 
 Its vast and beautiful proportions, combined with the simplicity of its 
 style, camiot faU to attract the visitor's admiration. In its external 
 appearance it is not unlike the venerable abbey of St. Alban's, but is in a 
 much better state of presei-vation, beuig budt of a hard stone which 
 appears to have defied the elements to which it has been exposed for so 
 many centuries. It has undergone considerable repairs of late, and during 
 the works many curious remnants of the old faith were discovered, amongst 
 which was a stone statue of our Savioui- on the cross, larger than life, 
 and the scalp of a female — probably one of the nuns — to which the hair 
 still clung, in a perfect state of preservation. Romsey Chiu-ch is a tndy

 are of great extent, and, according to some archeologists, the foundations 
 display evident proofs of construction different from, and anterior to that of 
 the Roman works found throughout England. The village is but a poor,

 WEYBRIDGE TO CHERTSEY. 
 
 Saiisbuky, or New Sahum, a city, parliamentary and municipal borough, 
 ca])ital county of AVilts, is situated on the Avon, whicli is here crossed by 
 three bridges. Area of city, 480 a ; population of city, comprising parts 
 of tlie parishes of Fuherton Anger, and ]\Iitford, 11,026. Salisbury sends 
 two members to Parliament ; registered electors (1848), 701 ; and is the 
 place of election for south division of county. This vcuei'ablc city, Mhicli is 
 partly siuToundcd with walls, is well l)iult, liglited, and drained by numing 
 brooks flowing througli the principal streets. The spacious market place, 
 which is in tlie centre of the to^ni, contains tlie council house, the jjublic 
 library and news room ; and the butter cross, an edifice built in the reign of 
 Edward III. ; and in other parts (independently of the catliedral, to wliich 
 we shall advert hereafter) are three parish churches, chapels for several 
 denominations of Dissenters ; a grammar school, tlieatre, assembly and 
 concert rooms ; a county infirmary, and county gaol in Fuherton Auger. 
 The cathedral, an object of universal achniration, stands in an enclosed 
 space of about half a square mile called the " Close." It was built and com- 
 pleted in the 13th century, entirely in the early EugUsh style, in tlie fonn of 
 a double cross : length, 474 feet ; width of large transepts, 210 feet. The 
 altar-piece and stained glass are works of great merit. The west front is 
 higlily elaborated, and many of the exterior parts are ornamented with 
 statues. The spire is 404 feet liigh, and is the loftiest, and, as may well be 
 imagined, the most conspicuous oljjcct in this part of England. All the 
 ecclesiastical buildings by which this magnificent and venerable pile is sur- 
 rounded are in keeping with the structui'e itself. The cloisters, chapter 
 house, Uljrary, bishops' palace, deanery house, and the residences of the 
 canons, &c., are handsome and even elegant buildings — the whole of which 
 are surrounded by a liigh wall. The charities of this ancient city are 
 numerous, and produce an ammal revenue of £5,000. The trade of Salis- 
 bury, though formerly celelu'ated for woollen and other goods, is now exclu- 
 sively confined to the supply of the residents of the city and neighbourhood, 
 and agricultural produce. Salisbury is the seat of the county assizes, the

 of great antiquity, and possessed a monastery immediately after the Saxons 
 were converted from Paganism, wluch was bunit down by the Danes, and 
 the ecclesiastics murdered ; but King Edgar rebuilt it, and it continued in 
 a flourishing state until the dissolution ot monastic institutions in the reign i 
 of Henry YIIL, when its annual resources amoimted to £774. The Saxon 
 kings had also a palace in the town, and here Henry VI. was buried, 
 although his body was sulisequently removed by Henry YII. to Windsor. 
 In the immediate vicinity of the town are numerous villas and seats of great 
 beauty, and a place called Cowey Stakes, said to have derived its name from 
 the stakes driven into the river hy the Britons to ine\ent Julius Casarfrom

 Hampton Coukt. A short branch of the South-Western Eailway 
 diverges from the Esher Station, near Ditton Marsh, passing througli the 
 parish of Thames Ditton, that picturesque and tridy rural spot so celebrated 
 as the resort of the angler, terminating on the Surrey side of the Thames, 
 at the foot of the old wooden bridge of Hampton Court, immediately 
 opposite to that splendid palace, which is indeed one of the few England 
 possesses appertaining of right to royalty worthy the name of a palace, and 
 the residence of her monarch. This edifice owes its origin to Cardinal 
 Wolsey, although the principal portion of the building is comparatively of 
 modem construction. It is said that Wolsey, when at the summit of his 
 power, was desirous to build a palace suitable to his rank, but that being 
 equally anxious to preserve liis health, he consulted the learned physicians 
 of all countries as to the most healthy locality witliin twenty miles of 
 London, and that theii* report having been favourable to this spot, he 
 purcliased the lease of the manor of Hampton Coiu-t of the Prior of the 
 Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem in England a.d. 1514. The old palace, 
 built after the designs of Wolsey, who had studied architecture, was begun 
 in 1515, and when finished we are told that its magnificence excited great 
 envy at court, so much so, that the King, whose jealousy was aroused, 
 questioned him upon the subject, when, with marvellous tact, the Cardinal 
 replied, " That he was only trying to form a residence worthy of so great a 
 monarch." The King, pleased with the reply, accepted the present, and 
 bestowed upon his minister the manor of Richmond, the favourite residence 
 of his father, in lieu thereof. After having served as the occasional place of 
 residence for all the kings and queens of England, from Henry VIII. to 
 the period of the Commonwealth, being also the bii'thplace of Edward VI., 
 and the spot where Anne, wife of James I., died, masques, grand fetes, and 
 the public receptions of the foreign princes and ambassadors having been 
 here held, it was sold in 1651 to a private gentleman, Mr. Phelps, for 
 £10,765 19s. 9d., and subsequently re-conveyed to Oliver Cromwell ; and 
 it was here that the marriage ceremonies were performed between his 
 daughter Elizabeth and Lord Falcouberg in 1657. After the Revolution 
 it became the favourite residence of William III., who caused a portion of 
 the old palace to be pidled down, and built what is now called the Fountain 
 Court, in which are the state a})artments, under the superintendence of the 
 great architect of St. Paul's. This splendid structure was finished in 1690.

 We camiot find space for any detail of the various beauties this magnificent 
 palace displays, but the pruicipal external feature -which strikes tlie visitor 
 is the marked diiierence between T\'olsey's portion and tlie Dutch style of 
 the Fountaui Court and gardens ; nevertheless, as a whole, it is a grand and 
 unposmg stracture. The hall and chapel of the fonner, with the state 
 rooms of the latter, adorned with a truly splendid collection of paintings 
 by some of the greatest masters of the world, must long contume to offer 
 an interesting and enlightened source of amusement, recreation, and sensible 
 enjoyment to the public, to whom its beauties have been consecrated by the 
 kindness of Her Majesty. The pictures are of such a quality as to rivet 
 the attention of the conaoisseux, but amongst them are a collection of 
 historical portraits which cannot fail to excite an equal interest m the 
 minds of the student and the lovers of biography. The state apartments, 
 the walls of which are adorned with the great works of Correggio, 
 Georgione, Pannegiano, Tintoretto, and, indeed, all the greatest artists of 
 the various schools of Italy, with many fine Dutch pictm-es, and some 
 curiously interesting sea fights of Vandevelde, as well as the famous 
 portraits of the beauties of the Court of Charles 11., and " last, though not 
 least," but first, indeed, in point of interest, with the grand and inestimable 
 cartoons of Raphael, are open to the public gratuitously eveiT day in the 
 week except Friday, when they are closed for the purpose of being cleaned. 
 The hours are ten 'o'clock in the morning until six o'clock in the evening 
 from the 1st of April to the 1st of October, and during the remainder of 
 the year from ten till four. The vine in the private garden, and the maze 
 in the wilderness, are open every day until sunset, but a small gratuity is 
 required by the gardeners who show them. To the Great Hall of the 
 Cardinal, a noble saloon, hung vrifh perhaps the finest specimens of 
 tapestry in Europe, and decorated -n-ith trophies and banners in a tasteful, 
 princely, and baronial style, the visitor's steps should first be du-ected. 
 A httle book, " The Stranger's Guide to Hampton Coiu-t Palace," is 
 sold by the attendants, which, independently of the well-compiled facts in 
 the text, and an acciu-ate catalogue of the pictures, contains about a dozen 
 well-executed woodcuts of the different views of the palace, at the small 
 charge of 6d. Busliv Park, Earl of Denbigh ; York Cottage, John Goldney,

 Richmond, county of Surrey. The town, though in parts irregularly built, 
 contains many elegant houses, and some of the best hotels, two of which — 
 the Star and Garter, on the hiU above the terrace, and the Castle Hotel, in 
 Hill Street — are inferior to few if any in England. The beauty of the scenery, 
 the magnificent views from the teiTace, the venerable oaks in the park, the 
 silvery brightness of the Thames as it gently flows through the verdant 
 meadows, all combine to render this spot the most enchanting of any 
 within twenty miles round London, indeed few places in the comitry sur- 
 pass it. It is much resorted to during the summer season, and amongst its 
 visitors few are more enthusiastic in their admiration of its beauties than 
 the hosts of foreigners who frequent it, particularly on Sundays. On Rich- 
 mond Green are the remains of the palace of Henry YLL., who named it 
 after his own Earldom in Yorkshii-e ; it previously bore the appellation of 
 Sheen, or the bright and shining, and few places ai'e more so when illu- 
 mined by the rays of a simmier sun. Queen Elizabeth died in this palace, 
 and the room in which she breathed her last is said to be the little bay- 
 windowed chamber over the old gateway, forming the entrance to the 
 castellated house of Mr. Simpson, on the Green beyond Maid of Honour 
 Terrace, which is unquestionably a portion of the old palace. The royal 
 arms over the centre of the gateway, although much defaced by time, are 
 not entii-ely obliterated. On the Banks of the Thames here are some 
 beautiful villas. Near the viaduct of this branch of the South-Westera 
 Raihvay, which is a very handsome structui-e, is AsgUl House, the beautiful 
 residence of B. Cohen, Esq. ; next to it Northampton House, a portion of 
 the old palace, and QueensbiuT House, the seat of Sir John B. Dundas, Bart. 
 The view of Richmond Bridge from this spot is higlily pictiu-esque, but it

 ciunstance of the remains of Gainsborough, Zoffany and Meyer being buried in 
 it. The great featiu-e of interest is however the botanical gardens, which, 
 under the able superintendence of Sir W. J. Hooker, have arrived at the 
 highest state of perfection. They are open to the public every day of the 
 week, except Eriday. The grounds were laid out under the direction of 
 the Princess Dowager, mother of George III. ; and the temples, of which 
 there are several, were budt by Sir William Chambers. The pagoda is 
 more to be admired for its u-regularity tiiau its beauty. There is also an 
 imitation of a ruin, of which Horace Waljjole remarks that " a solecism 
 may be committed in architecture, as the ruin in Kew gardens is built by 
 Act of Parliament bricks." There are sixteen different descriptions of 
 hot-houses, the chief of which is the new pabn house, which now com- 
 pleted is the glory of these gardens. It was designed by Decimus Bui-ton,_ 
 Esci., and is made of iron from the Hammersmith works of Mr. Tm-ner of 
 Dublin, the stone and brick work by Messrs. GrisseU and Peto ; the 
 arrangement of boilers by Messrs. Bui'bridge and Healy, the hot-water 
 pipes by Mr. Turner. It consists of a centre and two wrags occupying an 
 area of 362 feet iii length; the centre is 100 feet wide and 66 feet m 
 height to the summit of the lanthorn ; the wings 50 feet wide and 30 feet 
 high. The central portion of the building (138 feet long and 100 feet 
 wide) has a substantial gallery all around at the height of 30'feet from the 
 floor, ascended by a light spiral staircase, so as to give the opportunity of 
 seeing the plants from above as well as below, by bringing the spectator 
 on a level with the smnmits of many of the loftiest, and also the means of 
 watering the plants from above. To avoid the unsightliness of a cliimney 
 attached to, or even placed near, so noble a stmcture, the smoke is con- 
 veyed by an underground floor, to a distance of 479 feet from the stove ; 
 where a large ornamental tower, vnth. a resevoir near the top for the supply 
 of water to the stove, is erected, 96 feet in height, so situated and of such 
 a form as to be an architectui-al object when seen from the mainwalk.

 i m. s.w. Whittox, where Sir Godfrey Kneller resided and acted as a 
 justice of the peace for the county of Middlesex ; several curious stories 
 have been preserved respecting his decisions, whicli show that they were 
 formed on what he supposed principles of equity rather than the letter of 
 the law. One examination may suffice : a soldier stole a joint of meat, was 
 detected and brought before Sir Godfrey ; the soldier protested that the 
 butcher had tempted hmi to the theft by displaying in reproachful triumph 
 the joint the hungry spectator could not purchase. Su- Godfrey, to the 
 honour of liis feelings, but injury to his judgment, discharged the thief and 
 read a severe lesson to the astonished butcher. This transaction is said to 
 have occasioned the following lines by Pope : 
 
 " I think Su- Godfrey should decide the suit, 
 Who sent the thief that stole tlie meat away, 
 And punished liim that put it in his way." 
 
 The mansion hi wliich Kneller resided is now in ruins. Wliitton Hall, 
 Augustus Gostlhig, Esq. The grounds of this domain were laid out and 
 planted with a fine variety of forest trees and other exotics by Ai'cliibald Duke 
 of Argyle, hi the 18th century. The cedars were raised from seed in 1725, 
 and now rank among the most flourishing and beautiful in the kingdom. 
 
 1 m. w. East Bedfont. The parish church is a small rural structure, 
 but possesses many marks of antiquity. The southern entrance to the 
 chm-chyard is rendered an object of notice by two aged yews, which are 
 suffered to retain their sombre mnbrage, spreadmg like a pall over the 
 ashes of the village dead, for by the ingenuity of some rural village 
 designer, they have been trained to resemble two majestic peacocks. 
 Carefid periodical trimmmg prevent nature from obUterating this distortion. 
 The date 1701-, which is cut in one of them, shows them to be of no 
 modern date.

 hunting lodge, now a farm-house, in Avliich was found the massive oak table 
 on which John signed the Magna Charta. 
 
 Crossing the Thames is the Little Park, Windsor, containing about 500

 This line commences at the Forbury, and from thence after passing Sandhurst 
 crosses the Blackwater stream, near wliich at Blackwater the Turnpike-road from 
 London to Southampton is crossed on the level ; at Earuborough it passes under the main 
 line of the South-Western Railway, and again passing over the Blackwater stream 
 reaches Asli. Erom Ash to Guildford the Godalming Brancli of the South- Western 
 Railway is used, thus sa\ing the cost of getting through the North Downs. 
 
 About a mile from Reading the river Kennet is crossed by an arch of sixty feet 
 span, and two land arches on the north-west side of the river twenty feet span eacL 
 It is situated close to the bridge over the same river, built for the purjiose of carrying 
 the Great Western Radway, and not far from the junction of the Kennet and Thames. 
 
 Half way between Wokingham and Reading the river Loddon is crossed by a very 
 fine skew-arch of sixty feet span and foiu' land arches, two on each side. This bridge is 
 situated a few yards on the north-east side of the Loddon bridge public-house. 
 
 The greater number of the girder bridges built, for carrying roads over the line, are

 camped here in 16SS, when he was alarmed by the acclamations of the 
 soldiers on the arrival of the news of the acquittal of the seven bishops 
 who had been tried for a supposed libel against the Government. Li more

 number of robberies committed on it. Heath Cottage, Thomas Hey"wood,

 By this means the advantage is gained of ha\'ing only a space of fifteen or eigliteen

 Newbury. A mvmicipal borough, market-town, and parish, county of 
 Berks. The town is situated on the Kcnuet, which passes through its 
 centre, and is crossed by a stone bridge ; it is well built, jind its streets are 
 broad, and well paved. ' The chui-ch is a plain stone building of the time of 
 Henry VII., a portion of which, with the tower, was erected at the sole 
 expense of the famous John Winchcombe, better known as Jack of Newbury, 
 who was a great benefactor to the town, and the most wealthy clothier in 
 England at that time. When the Earl of Surrey marched against 
 James IV., King of Scotland, who was ravaging the borders of the 
 kingdom, this spii-ited individual at his own expense armed and clothed one 
 hundi-ed of liis worbuen, and at the head of this little band accompanied 
 tlic Earl to Elodden Eield, where he greatly signalised lumself by his 
 intrepid conduct. On the termination of the battle he returned to his 
 native place. The house and factory wherein he entertained King 
 Hem-y VIII. and his Queen Catherme, with many of the nobility, are stiU 
 standing, but the trade for which the to\vn was celebrated has siuik into 
 insignificance. Duiing the ckeadfid contest between Charles I. and his 
 Parliament, Newbui'y became remarkable for being the scene of action in 
 two succeeding years. The first battle was fought on a common called the 
 Wash, in the year 1643, the other in the fields between Newbury, Speen, 
 and Shaw, in the year 164-4, the King commanding his army on both days 
 ill person. At the commencement of the first engagement the advantage 
 was on the side of the Royalists, the army l)eing in good condition and 
 well supplied with necessaries Tlie parliamentary troops on the contrary 
 had been harassed by long marches, added to which the preceding day 
 Prince Rupert attacked them on Auburn Chase, and from that time they 
 had been imder arms without either victuals or refreshment. Early in the 
 day the battle commenced, and was disputed on both sides with equal 
 intrepidity and success. The approach of night was welcome to both 
 parties, and the battle ceased without any decisive advantage being 
 obtained by either. In tliis action the King sustained an irreparable loss 
 in the deaths of more than twenty officers of distinguished abilities. The 
 Earl of Sunderland, Viscount Ealkland, and the Earl of Carnarvon were 
 amongst the nmnber of the slain. The latter, a short time before he was 
 killed, was seen jocosely to take measure of a gate through which he said 
 he intended to bring Essex the Parliamentary General prisoner, if it was 
 wide enough for his horns. The second battle like the preceding was on 
 tlie first day ended by the welcome approach of night; but the parliamentary 
 forces having nearly surrounded those of the King, Charles duruig tlie 
 night precipitately left the field and fled to Bath, and the army marched to 
 WaUington. Many vestiges of these sanguinary conflicts have at different

 celebrated for having been the head-quarters of Charles I. at the period of 
 the last battle of Ncwbui-y ; and in the wainscot of one of the chambers is a 
 hole, said to have been made by a musket shot, fired through one of the 
 windows, while the King was standing near it. Castle House, H. P. Best, 
 Esq. Domiington Castle rears its lofty head above the remains of the 
 venerable oaks which once siu'rounded it. It was formerly a place of much 
 importance ; when it was originally built is uncertain, but from records in 
 the Cotton Library it belonged to Walter Abberbury. Towards the end of 
 the reign of Richard II. Sir Richard Abberbury rebuilt it, and from his 
 son it passed into the possession of Geoffrey Chaucer, the parent of English 
 poetry. It is said that until a few years back, " an oak was standing, under 
 which Chaucer penned many of his famous poems." During the civil wars 
 it was fortified as a garrison for the King, and twice besieged. During the 
 last siege tlu-ee of the towers were demolished and pai't of the wall, but the 
 Royalist Governor, Colonel Boys, refused to give or accept quarter on any 
 terms whatever, and bravely defended the fortress till released by the King's 
 army. In an old well, a few years back, were found four brass camion, six 
 and four-pounders. 2 m. fiu'tlier, Winterbourne. Snelsmore Hill, Alfred

 But few in the comity surpass it in internal comforts, and the elegant 
 disposition of its domestic accommodations. The land, which was a part 
 of the forfeited estate of the Earl of Worcester, was granted by the 
 Parliament to Su- Benjamin Rudyerd, a celebrated lawyer, poet, and 
 statesman ui the reigns of Ehzabeth, James, and Charles I., who erected 
 the present mansion, and furnished it with pietm-es, &c., several of which 
 now remain. His grandson sold the estate to the ancestor of the present 
 proprietor. Some years ago it boasted one of the finest avenues in tlie 
 county, leading directly to tlie mansion. Scarcely a vestige of it now

 It consists principally of one Ion" street, m the centre of which is the 
 market house, in which is preserved the " Hungerford Horn," given, with a 
 charter, by John of Gaunt. This curious reUc of antiquity is of brass, and is 
 used to assemble the inhabitants to choose the constable, wlio is lord of the

 W. from which is Witney, a parish in the hundred of Bampton, county of 
 Oxford. It was a town of some importance prior to the Conquest. In the 
 5th of Edward HI. it was made a borough. The town is pleasantly 
 situated on the river Windiiish, and it consists principally of two streets, 
 containing neat, wcU-buUt houses, and has a clean and respectable 
 appearance. The environs are exceedingly pleasant, and the grounds in the 
 neighboiu'hood agreeably diversified with hiU and dale. Witney has long 
 been celebrated for its manufacture of blankets, which have been invariably 
 regarded as superior to all others in texture and colour. About 2 m. s. of 
 Witney is Cokethorpe Hall, H. Strickland, Esq. 7 m. w. of Witney, 
 BuRFOED. This })lace is of considerable antiquity, and was called by the 
 Saxons Bercford, of which the present name is a variation. In 685 an 
 ecclesiastical synod was held liere by the Rings Etheked and Berthwdd, at 
 which Andhelme, Bishop of Sherbourne, was ordered to MTite against the 
 error of the British Chiu'ch respecting Easter. In 752 an engagement 
 took place at Battle Edge, a little west of the town, between Ethelbald, 
 King of Mereia and Cutlu'ad, King of the West Saxons, who liad revolted 
 against his authority, in which Ethelbald was defeated, and the royal 
 standard bearing the devise of a golden dragon ca])tured. This event was 
 commemorated by an amiual festival on Midsummer Eve for several ages, 
 when the inhabitants paraded the streets, bearing the figui'cs of a di'agon 
 and a giant. Li IB-IO, an encounter took place here between Eairfax and 
 the Royalists, when the former was victorious. The town is pleasantly 
 situated on the banks of the small river Windrush. The houses are 
 indiiferently biult, but the inhabitants are well supplied with water.

 Roman villa. It was the abode of Alfred the Great, and continued a royal

 Oxford. To give anythiug like an adequate description of this city of 
 palaces, the principal seat of learning in the British empire, would require 
 volumes. The arcliitectural grandeur of its colleges, its nohle public build- 
 ings, its spacious streets, its sm-roundiug scenery, the beauty of its meadows, 
 the meandering waters of the Isis and the CherweU, its shady promenades, 
 stately trees, eacli and aU arrest the eye, and rivet the traveller's attention 
 at every step ; but as ocular demonstration can alone produce that appre- 
 ciation of this magnificent city, whicli aU it contains so justly merits, we shaU. 
 merely give such statistical details as the nature of tliis work absolutely 
 requii-es from us. Oxford is the capital of the shire, a city and parliamentary 
 borough, which contains an area of 2,930 a., with a population of 32,556. 
 The origm of Oxford is satisfactorily traced to the 8th century, when Didan, 
 an Anglo-Saxon nobleman, there founded a monastery a.d. 727. When it 
 became an university is not satisfactorily ascertained ; but that Alfred the 
 Great founded schools there for students in grammar, arts and divinity, 
 is generally admitted by the most learned antiquarians. Although the city 
 was thrice destroyed by hre during the incursions of the Danes, like the 
 phcEuix rising from its ashes, it each time recovered strengthened in 
 its position and its reputation for learning, and shortly after the Norman 
 invasion it obtained that steady and flourishing aspect which has increased 
 with every succeechng age. It now contains nineteen colleges and five liaUs. 
 The See of Oxford comprises the whole county, with the archdeaconries of 
 Berks and Bucks; the revenue of the bishopric in 1847, was £2,500. 
 Tlie oldest chm-ch hi Oxford (St. Peter's in the East) dates from the 9th 
 century. This beautiful city contains munificently endowed schools and 
 institutions of every description, and aU the corporate buildings and estab- 
 lishments are on a scale of magnificence inferior only to the colleges of the 
 university. Oxford, exclusive of the university's pecuUar iurisdictiou, is 
 governed by a corporation of mayor, aldermen, and councillors ; it is the 
 seat of quarter and petty sessions, mayor's court, court of hustings, assizes, 
 and monthly county courts. Corporation revenue (1847), £5,704. _ The 
 university has sent two members to Parliament ever since the reign of 
 Edward I; registered electors (1847), 2,758. The city also sends two 
 members ; registered electors in the same year, 2,881. Oxford is the place 
 of election for the county members. Market days, Wednesday and 
 Saturday. Pairs four times annually, and races are held in August at 
 Port-meadow, west of the city. Of the twenty -four libraries at Oxford the 
 BocUeian alone contams 222,000 volumes and 20,000 MSS., and is 
 entitled to a copy of every new work. The total revenues of the university 
 are estuuated at £457,490. Oxford has fourteen parishes, and amongst 
 its ecclesiastical edifices will be found every description of architectui-e 
 from the early Saxon, which, in spite of scepticism, exists in parts of 
 St. Peter's and the whole of its crypt ; but, as an eloquent writer has 
 obseiTcd, " the powers of the pen are as inadequate to describe as are the 
 creations of the pencil incompetent to delineate the resplendent beauties 
 of the city of Oxford." 4 m. n.e. Woodeaton, John Weyland, Esq.

 present King Edward the Martyr and St. Dunstan, Archbishop of Canter-

 place, is supposed to derive its name from its founder Berinas, a canonized 
 Saxon prelate ; or from Bernewood, a fortress in Bucks, on the verge 
 of which it is situated. A priory for canons of the Benedictine order was 
 founded in 1182, and dedicated to St. Eburg, the revenue of wliich at 
 the dissolution was £1G1 2s. 10c?. In 1355 a royal licence was granted to 
 Nicholas Jordan for the establishment of a hospital for poor and infirm 
 people ; but the design does not appear to have been carried into execution. 
 During the civil war, in the reign of Charles I., the inhabitants suffered by 
 repeated exactions levied by both parties; and in 1G43 a skirmish took 
 place, in which the Royalists were defeated and diiven through the town.

 Lord Cromwell, Earl of Essex, Vicar-General to Henry VIII. In this

 Berkeley Castle has formed the baronial residence of the holders of the 
 manor, who lay claim to a barony from the fact of possessing it. It has 
 existed seven centimes, and has been the scene of various remarkable 
 transactions, the most melancholy of which was the barbarous murder of 
 Edward II. in 1327. A small apartment leading iato the keep is pointed 
 out as the di-eary place where tliis dire cruelty was perpetrated. A little 
 further, Berkeley, situated on an eminence in the beautiful Vale of 
 Berkeley, about a mile from the river Severn. The church is an ancient 
 structure, containing luimerous monuments of the noble family of Berkeley. 
 The tower, a modern erection, stands at some distance from the church. 
 Here is a market-house, and a grammar school, founded in. 1696, annual 
 revenue under £50. The trade of this town, which is facilitated by the 
 Gloucester and Berkeley Canal, consists of cheese, malt, coal, and timber. 
 Market, Wednesday ; fair. May 14th. The Vale of Gloucester is renowned 
 for its rich pastui'age, and is famous for the production of the " double 
 Gloucester cheese." Berkeley Castle forms an important object in the 
 scenery of this locality.

 The park has been thrown into cultivation. 
 
 Gloucester, a city and capital of the comity, is also a county within 
 itself, a parliamentary and municipal borough, and a river port. It is 
 situated on the east 'bank of the Severn. 33 m. n.n.e. Bristol, and S m. 
 w.s.w. Cheltenham. It was founded by the Britons, and named Caer 
 Glocw, by which ai)pellation it is now distinguished in Wales ; and Alfred 
 of Beverley mentions it as one of the twenty-eight cities erected previous 
 to the Roman inva-sion. On a monumental stone seen by Camden was the 
 following mutilated inscription : 
 
 DEC COLONIC GLEV 
 VIXIT ANN LXXXVI. 
 
 The stone is now lost, but Gale and Gibson mention it as remaining in their 
 days. This city has been the scene of much warfare. In 577 it was taken 
 possession of by the West Saxons. In 679 it was nearly destroyed, but 
 Wolpherc, about the commencement of the 8th century, restored it, and, 
 according to Bcde, it was esteemed " one of the noolest cities in the 
 kingdom." The Danes plmidered the cii-y in the reign of King Edgar, 
 and partly consumed it by fire during the reign of his son Ethelred. 
 After the decisive battle between Canute and Edmund L'onside, the latter 
 retired to this city, and here also Edward the Confessor resided. WiUiam 
 the Conqueror often made Gloucester his place of residence. Henry I., in 
 1123, and Henry II., in 1175, held a court here, and Henry HI. was 
 crowned in the abbey church by the Bishop of Winchester ami Bath. In

 1278 or 1279 a Parliament was assembled at tliis place by Edward I., and 
 several laws enacted, known under the general appellation of the Statutes 
 of Gloucester. Richard U., in 137S, Henry IV., in 1103 and 1107, and 
 Henry V., in 1120, held a Parliament here. Diu-ing the ci\dl war in the 
 reign of Charles I. the city suffered much from the Royalists. In its 
 circuit it encloses the Island of Aluey, and both branches of the Severn are 
 crossed by handsome stone bridges. It has four principal thoroviglifares, 
 and a handsome modern subm-b. The cathedral, which is of higli antiquity, 
 was once the abbey chm-cli of the Benedictines, and was fouuded in 1017. 
 It is one of the liucst cathccbals in England. Here are the tombs of 
 Edward II., and Robert Duke of Normandy. The tower is 223 feet in 
 height. The conversion of the abbey church into a catliedi'al was the chief 
 means of its preservation at the Reformation, and diu'ing the civil wars it 
 was respected by Oliver Cromwell. It is now nearly perfect in all its 
 parts as it was left by its most favom-ed architects. This magnificent pile 
 combines many interesting specimens of Saxon, Norman, and English 
 architecture, and as the eras of erection are known, the characteristic styles 
 of different periods can thus be satisfactorily traced. The nave is an 
 interesting specimen of the style wliieh contiiiued to prevail for nearly two 
 ceutm-ies after the Conquest. 
 
 " The arch'd and pond'roiis roof, 
 By its own weight made steadfast and immoveable, ^ 
 
 Looking tranquillity," 
 
 renders the higlily-wi'ought ornaments of the choir more conspicuous and 
 admu-able. The Castle of Gloucester, of which the last remains were 
 destroyed a few years ago, was probably erected about the period of the 
 Norman invasion, as Domesday Book records that " sixteen houses were 
 taken down for its site." Of the eleven churches that formerly existed, six 
 only now rematu, the others liaviag been destroyed at the siege in 1643, or 
 since taken down. The priucipal trade of Gloucester is in the hemp and flax- 
 dressing business, and the manufacture of pins. The latter is carried on 
 here to a far greater extent than at any other place in England. 1 m. s.w. 
 Lanthouy Priory, now hi ruins, so named from a Priory of Austin Canons

 approached through a fine double avenue of elm-trees, planted in tlie

 Prinknasli was formerly the property of the Abbots of Gloucester, who 
 obtained liberty of free warren in the reign of Edward III., and sometimes 
 resided here. In the reign of James I. it became the property of Sir John 
 Bridgman, Chief Justice of Gloucester, in whose famdy it remained until 
 1770, when it was purchased by an ancestor of the present proprietor. The 
 mansion is situated in a pleasant park, on the acclivity of a hdl, commanding 
 an extensive prospect over a fertile and pleasant district. 2 ni. e. of which 
 is "V^''itcomb Park, Lady Cromer. The park extends itself at the base of some 
 commanding eminences, clothed with beech wood. The scenery is extremely 
 fine, and from some points is opened a grand and interesting view over the 
 Vale of Gloucester, bounded by the Malvern Hills. In Herefordshire, 
 2 m. fm-ther, Brimpsfield. This, with other manors, was given by the 
 Conqueror to Osborne Gilford, who attended him to England, and whose 
 family retained possession tdl the reign of Edward II., when his descendant, 
 John Gilford, a determined enemy of the Spencers, was attamted of high 
 treason, and his castle at Brimpsfield razed to its foundations by a detach- 
 ment from the army of the King, who was then on his march from 
 Cii-encester to Worcester. The site of the castle is pointed out by a moat 
 and rampart, covered with a close thicket, and sui'rounding an area about 
 300 yards in cii-cumfereuce. Edward III. granted the manor to Sir 
 Mam-ice Berkeley, in the year 1340. It has since passed through several 
 noble families, and now is, or lately was, the property of John Pitt, Esq. 
 The park contained about 200 acres. In this parish was a priory or ccU of 
 Benedictine monks, subordinate to the Abbey of St. Stephen at Fountenay 
 in Normandy, but of its foundation and history little is knowTi, and the 
 only relic of it is in the name of an adjoining field. The Roman Ermin 
 Street passed along the north side of the parish. 1 m. e. of Brimpsfield, 
 Elkstone, a parish in the hundred of Rapsgate. At this place is a quaiTy 
 of stone, which, when first raised, is easily cut, but becomes exceedingly 
 hard by exposure to the air. The church, dedicated to St. John the 
 Evangelist, is one of the most ancient buildings in the county of Gloucester, 
 though its external appearance does not promise so much, it having been 
 considerably altered, especially in the reign of Richard II., when the tower 
 was bmlt. Indeed, little of its original structure remains on the outside 
 except a fascia running round the upper part of the nave, below wliieh are 
 a variety of grotesciue heads and figures, and a round-headed window at the 
 east end of the chancel, ornamented with an embattled fret. The south 
 door is a rich specimen of ancient architectnre. Over it is a fignre of our 
 Saviour sitting on a throne, with his right hand extended, and holding a 
 book in liis left. Over His head is the figvu-e of a hand, pointing downwards, 
 and round Him are the Holy Lamb, and symbols of the Evangelists, all 
 carved in basso-relievo. This OToup of figures is surroimdcd by a scmi- 
 cireuJar arch, and grotesqu.c heads, and zigzag mouldings. The appearance 
 of this chancel is very singular, the arches not being correctly cu'cidar, but 
 exhibiting great irregidarity, part of which no doul)t has been occasioned 
 by its decay. The columns and pilasters supporting the arches lean 
 outwards several inches beyond the perpendicular.

 servant to the Lorde Bcauchampe, that married hys Lorde's daughter, the 
 eldest of thi-ee, and the Redes have y^ stUle." It is now the property of 
 John Xeale, Esq., and "is evidently of the first style of brulding that 
 prevailed when castles were no longer necessary for the seciiritv of 
 residence." The mansion is surrounded by a moat, and in an adjomiag 
 field was an oak of extraordinary dimensions, a deliueation of wliich was 
 given in "Lyson's Gloucestershire Etclungs." The circumference of the 
 bole was nearly eighteen yards ; the lower part was quite hollow, formiug a 
 void sixteen feet in diameter. This venerable tree was destroyed bv fire in 
 the year 1790. ^iile House, G. A. W. Welch, Esq.

 Swilsrate iuto the Avon. It sends two members to Parliament ; resistered 
 electors (ISIS), 407. Corporation revenue (1S4S), £S2S. The town, which 
 is picturesquely seated, contains many fine houses, and an abbey church of 
 great magnificence, founded by the Sitxons. It is biult in the style of a 
 cathedral, its interior higlily ornamented, and altogether claims the especial 
 notice of the traveller, as it contains many elegant monuments of 
 distinguished persons. Here is a new church, and the following public 
 buildings : a town haU, market house, gaol, penitentiary, two bridges — a 
 handsome one of stone across the Avon, and an iron bridge of 170 feet 
 span over the Severn — several Dissenting places of worship, and good quays 
 ou the banks of the river. Amongst its learned, educational, and charitable 
 institutions may be enumerated a literary and scientific, mechanics', dis- 
 pensary, lying-m hospit:il, blue-coat, free grammar, and other schools, 
 almshouses and other charities, which produce .in annual revenue of about

 Cheltenha3i, a parliamentary borough town, and parish, in the county 
 of Gloucester. It sends one member to Parliament ; registered electors 
 (1848), 2,006 ; and is a polling place for the east division of the county, 
 the seat of petty sessions, and a manor court. This very fashionable 
 watering-place is situated on the river Chelt, in a beautiful and fertile vale, 
 sheltered from the northerly winds by the Cotswold Hills. It has a splendid 
 principal street, one mile and a-half in len^h, numerous handsome terraces, 
 squares, &c., with many elegant detached villas, interspersed with planta- 
 tions of trees and gardens, laid out ^rith exceediag taste and beauty. 
 Cheltenham owes its almost magical rise into importance entirely to its 
 saline springs, the medicinal virtues of which attract thousands annually 
 to this locality of fashion and enjoyment. Sulphates of soda and magnesia, 
 iodine and iron held in solution by carbonic acid, are the ingredients of the 
 Cheltenham waters, which, owing to the discovery of several springs, are 
 abundant. The various pump-rooms and baths are all of elegant con- 
 struction, adjacent to which are handsome saloons and libraries, surrounded 
 by pleasure-grounds Mith fine avenues, most tastefully disposed for the 
 recreation of the visitors. The principal buildings of the town are an 
 ancient Gothic parochial church, and five other handsome district churches, 
 besides places of worship for Dissenters. Here are also several hospitals 
 and charitable endo-«Tnents, a grammar school founded in 1574, and endowed 
 with scholarships in Pembroke College, a charity school, a female oqjhan 
 asylum, a general hospital founded by Queen Charlotte in 1806, mechanics', 
 literary and philosophical uistitutions, and a zoological garden. Leckampton

 monks of the Benedictine order. The abbey and aU its buildings were nearly 
 destroyed soon after the dissolution. The building is represented to have 
 been exceedingly magnificent, very few traces of it however remain ; but 
 the memorial is preserved in part of a hamlet which is still called the

 taste, and even lulls and dales have been produced from an almost 
 undistinguished level. The house is built on the site, and iiideed partly on 
 the walls, of one which was pulled downi in the early part of the last 
 centm-y ; the style of architecture of the house is very plam, and bespeaks 
 comfort rather than magnificence, but its inside makes up for anything 
 that may be called deficiency from without. Croome Park was notliing 
 but a morass, when towards the middle of last centiu-y tlie Earl of 
 Coventry undertook to drain it, and towards the end of the ceutm-y he had 
 reclahned the moorisli fetid sod and made it perfectly dry pastui-age for 
 sheep and other cattle. There are but few ujider drains, the principal are 
 open and tufted at bottom, so that cattle can graze without loss of herbage ;

 district ; the perpendicular height of the hill is 800 or 900 feet, yet the 
 woodlands are not confined to its hollows, but spring up its sides in the 
 most picturesque manner.

 was founded here about 689, part of which may be seen in the Chm-ch of 
 Holy Cross, and the Abbey House. Wick House, Thomas H. Bund, Esq. ;

 to have had an interview with the Vii'giu Mary on this spot, and to 
 this circumstance is attributed the erection of an abbey for BenecUctiue 
 monks, wliich was completed in 709. The most memorable account in 
 the history of the town is the decisive combat that was fought here on 
 the 4th of August, 1265, between Prince Edward and Simon Montford, 
 Earl of Leicester, by whom Henry III. was detained a prisoner ; the 
 combat was characterised by savage ferocity, but termmated in favour 
 of the prince, and m the rescue of the captured monarch.

 iu the reign of Henry HE., but received considerable augmentations at 
 subsequent periods up to 12S0. Its light and elegant architecture, and its 
 fine proportions, are greatly admired, although it has little of exterior orna- 
 ment, and the pointed style prevails thi-ougliout. The choir, cloisters, and 
 chapter-house are beautiliU structures. In the city there are also eleven 
 parish chiuxhes, some of which, particularly St. Nicholas and St. Clement, 
 present considerable claims to attention for their architectui'al beauty. The 
 Bishop's Palace is near the cathedi'al, on the banks of the river Severn. 
 The principal corporate and public buildings are the guildhall, new county 
 coiu'ts, market-haU, coimty and city gaols, house of industry, coiuity 
 infirmaiy, subscription library, tlieatre, &c. Worcester has also a famous 
 I'oyal grammar school foimded by Hem-y "\TII. for forty scholars, and 
 another founded by his daughter Elizabeth, with foiu-teen exhibitions of 
 £30 to the Universities, and several scholarships at Worcester College and 
 Magdalen HaU, Oxford. At tliis school, Butler, the author of " Hudibras," 
 and the gi-eat and gentle Lord Somers were educated. Here are also several 
 other endowed schools, and many excellent charities. Worcester is the 
 chief seat of the Pronneial Medical Association of Great Britain. Here are 
 also held the triennial musical festivals, in aid of the fmids for the widows 
 and oq^hans of the clergy. The prmeipal mauufactm-es of this city are 
 gloves, lace, china, leather, nails, tiu'ned wares, spirits and beer; here 
 are also considerable ii'on works, and a good trade in com and hops. The 
 Severn is here navigable for large barges, and its banks are lined with quays 
 and wai'ehouses for goods. Here are several banks, and four weekly news- 
 papers. In 1651 OUver Cromwell gained a signal victory over Charles II., 
 and in 1652 Lord Somers, the son of a respectable attorney, was here born.

 native poet wherever you turn. There is the Mulberry-Tree Inn, the 
 Imperial Shakespeare Hotel, the Sir John Falstaff, the Royal Shakespeare 
 Theatre, and the statue of Shakespeare meets your eye in its niche in the front 
 of the Town Hall ; opposite to that a large sign informs you that there is 
 kept a collection of the relics of Shakespeare, and not far off you arrive at 
 another sign conspicuously projcctmg into the street, on which 'is proclaimed 
 " In this house the immortal bard was born." The people seem all alive to 
 the houom- of their town ha\ang produced Shakespeare. The tailor will 
 descend from his shop-board, or the cobbler start up from liis stall, and 
 volunteer to guide you to the points connected with the history of the great 
 poet. A poor shoemaker on being asked at his door the nearest way to the 
 chui-ch containing Shakespeare's tomb, innuediately rose up and began to put 
 on his coat, when it was remai-ked to liim that he was not requested or 
 desired to give himself that trouble, but merely to say which was the most 
 direct way. The man answered, and said, " I don't want anything for 
 showing a gentleman the way to Shakespeare's tomb, it is a pleasui-e to me, 
 I am fond of it." The old man bustled along, holdmg forth with enthusiasm 
 in the praise of Shakespeare, and coming to the sexton's house, said : " There, 
 I have saved you ten minutes' walk, don't forget to look at old Johimy 
 Coombe !" and was turning off highly pleased that he had done something 
 to the honour of Shakespeare, and reluctant to receive even the value of a 
 glass of ale for his services. Ann Hathaway's cottage stands at the farther 
 end of this scattered and secluded hamlet, at the feet of pleasant uplands, 
 and from its rustic casements you catch glimpses of the fine breezy ranges 
 of the Ibnington and Meon HUls, some miles south ; and of Stratford church 
 spire east, peeping over its trees. The cottage is a long tenement of the 
 most primitive character, of timber framing, fiUed up with brick and plaster 
 work. Its doors are grey with age, and have the old-fashioned wooden 
 latches, ^ith a bit of wood nailed on the outside of the door to take hold of 
 while you pull the string. The antiquity of the house is testified by the 
 heads of the wooden puis which fasten the frame-work standing up some 
 inches from the walls, according to the rude fashion of the age, never having 
 been cut off. The orchard is a spot all knolls and hollows, where you might 
 imagine the poet when he came here a wooing, or in the after days of his 
 renown when he came hither to see his wife's friends, and to indulge in day- 
 di-eams of the past, as he represents the King of Denmark : 
 
 " Sleeping -n-ithin mine orchard — 
 My custom always of the afternoon," 
 
 lying on the mossy turf and enjoying the pleasant sunshiiie, and the flickering 
 shadows of the old apple-trees ; all the homely herbs and flowers which 
 grow about the real old English cottage, and which Shakespeare delighted 
 to introduce into his poetry : the rosemary, celandine, honeysuckle, marigold, 
 mint, thyme, rue, sage, &c., meetiug your eye as you proceed.

 the Severn. It formerly retimied two members to Parliament, but one 
 only since the Refonn Act. The town, which contains several churches, 
 a union workhouse, a well-endowed poor's hospital and other charities, 
 is famous for its Brine Springs, wrought since the time of the Ancient 
 Britons; they are situated in the centre of the town, and rise through 
 strata of red sandstone and gypsum, and yield about 30,000 tons of salt 
 annually, the half of which is exported. Droit^vich is the place of election 
 for the east di^isiou of the county. jMarket on Friday. Faii-s, Friday in 
 Easter week, June ISth, September 22nd, and December 1.5th. Near 
 here are several fine mansions. Droitwich was higlJy prized by the 
 Ancient Britons on account of the brine springs; was known to the 
 Romans under the name of Salinae, and was a very populous town at the 
 period of the Conquest. 1 m. s. Hadzor House, J. H. Galton, Esq. The

 and contains a handsome antique chui-ch, standing on an eminence, and 
 ascended by fifty steps, with a tower and spke 1S9 feet liigh ; a town hall, and 
 some good houses. The grammar school, which was founded by Edward YL, 
 possesses seven scholarships and six fellowships in Worcester College, 
 Oxford. The amount of the various other schools and charities is about 
 £207 per annum. Bronisgrove has large nail manufactories, a branch bank, 
 and extensive button factories. It is also the head of a poor-law union. 
 Market, Tuesday ; fairs, Jiuie 2ith and October 1st. Bronisgrove Lickey,

 amongst its possessors was Waller the poet. As early as the reign of 
 Hemy A ILL. Kidderminster was noted for the manufacture of broad cloths. 
 About the year 1735 the manufacture of cai-pets was introduced, which has 
 continued to progress with pennanent improvement, and now constitutes 
 the staple credit of the town. The clim-ch, dedicated to St. Mary, is a 
 spacious and venerable structure, and a beautiful specimen of the EngUsh 
 style of architecture. A little to the n. Lea Castle, J. P. Brown

 This place gave name to an adjoining forest, and has long been noted for the 
 manufactiu'e of needles and tish-hooks. John de Eakenham, an eminent 
 and learned Roman Catholic divine and Abbot of Westminster was born 
 here. He held disputatious with Cranmer, Ridley, and Latimer, but performed 
 many kind ofBccs for Protestants iu the reign of Mary. 4 m. further, 
 Coughton Park, Sir R. G. Throckmorton, Bart. This venerable seat was 
 originally of quadrangular form, but such a mode of consti-uction being fouud 
 gloomy and inconvenient, one side of the building was taken down some 
 years back, and a prospect of the windings of the river Yarrow is now 
 obtained, and a view of the country beyond. At a short distance from 
 Alcester is Beauchamp's Court, formerly a distinguished residence of the 
 Beauchamps and Grevilles ; on the site of the mansion is now a farm-house. 
 The Earl of Brooke and Warwick takes the title of Earl from this ancient 
 court.

 2 m. E. Hewell Grange, the Hon. Robert Henry Clive, M.P. Though long 
 dismantled it has been refurnished, and is once more the seat of elegance, 
 plenty, and hospitality. The house, which was built in 1712, is a handsome 
 specimen of architecture, and stands in the midst of a pleasant park, having 
 hiUs gently swelling, and a lake of clear water of about thirty acres. The 
 house itself is very extensive, having one front 127 feet in length, and the 
 other 109 feet. The plantations are on a very large scale, and abound ^\dth 
 oaks in various stages of growth. This, and a considerable portion of the 
 parish of Takdebig, were given by the Empress Maud to Bordesley Abbey. 
 In the chiu-ch there is a chancel, called Sii- Thomas Cooke's. He founded 
 Worcester College, in Oxford, and died in 1702. 2 m. further, Bordesley 
 Abbey. It was founded by the Empress Maud, in 1138, as a Cistercian Abbey, 
 to the honour of the Blessed Virgm, but it is a curious fact that WaUeran, 
 Earl of MeUent, iu one of his charters, calls himself the founder, although he 
 is actually a witness to the original and prior charter of JMaud. It was very 
 extensive, having occupied eight acres of ground ; but very Utile is now left 
 to gratify the antiquary, with the exception of St. Stephen's Chapel, which 
 remains entii-e, though much altered by modern repaii's. At the dissolution 
 it was granted to Andrew Lord Windsor. 2 m. further, Beoley, where 
 once stood a large and magnificent castle, whose ancient ruins can now 
 scarcely be traced. Here are Beoley HaU and Beoley Park, but nothing 
 particularly curious, except the numerous and elegant monuments in the 
 church, belonging to the Sheldon family.

 time of the Emperors Antoninus and Yalentinian. The old Roman 
 street passes near the south-east boundary of the parish. A farm-house 
 at Hasleden in this parish is supposed at one time to have been a 
 monastery, and attached to the old manor-house at Tarlton are the 
 remains of a chapel. 2 m. fnrther, Cherrington. The church, dedicated

 A short branch of three miles reaches from this station to Cirencester, 
 remarkable for its cleanliness, and the piu'ity of the air ; is a parliamentary 
 borough town and parish, county of Gloucester, situated on the river Chum, 
 and on a branch of the Thames and Severn Canal. It was a town of the 
 Ancient Britons, and was fortified by the Romans, traces of whose walls, two 
 miles in circumference, are still extant. It consists of four principal streets, 
 chiefly built of stone, and possesses several hospitals, a union workhouse, a 
 free grammar and yeUow-coat schools, at the former of which the learned 
 Dr. Jenner was educated. It formerly boasted three churches, one only, 
 St. John, remains, but it is generally admitted to be one of the most 
 magnificent parochial edifices in the kingdom. It has five chapels, and a 
 tower 138 feet high, ornamented with statues and pinnacles, and its front 
 is a smnptuous specimen of Gothic architectnre. Cirencester, or Cicester 
 as it is pronounced, contains also the ruins of an ancient abbey, and Roman 
 remains are frequently discovered in the vicinity. It was of considerable 
 note in the time of the Romans ; is memorable as the place where the 
 conspiracy against the life of Henry IV. was suppressed, and suffered

 to the east. It consists of one ii-regular street, intersected by another 
 partially paved, and is abimdantly supplied with water from springs.

 " Gloucestershire," vol. i, p. 380, had huge erect stones at each end of it, 
 and arms within it. On the summit is placed a large fragment of rock, 
 evidently a sepidchral monument, called the Tingle Stone. In the field 
 near it are also two erect stones, one perfect about ten feet high out 
 of the ground, the other has its top broken off, which are assigned as 
 monuments to the memory of Long, a Danish chieftain, whence the name 
 of Longstone. A little to the w. Dunku-k House, Edward Dalton, Esq.

 lined -ndth perennial trees. It was built in the early part of the last century, 
 and is a very spacious and convenient edifice, in the French style, with a large 
 hall in the centre, and rooms en suite. The east front is of freestone, and of 
 gi'eat length ; the west has been extended by a portico and \^'ings ; and other 
 improvements were effected under the direction of the late Earl. The park 
 and grounds are aU that the natnre of the country would permit even the 
 refined taste of Lord Bathurst to accomplish, of whom Pope, in comparing 
 the talents of Lords BurUngtou and Bathm-st, observes : 
 
 " Who plants like Bathurst, and who Ijuilds Uke Boyle?" 
 
 Independently of the woods, avenues, and lakes, in this fine park, there are 
 many objects of great antiquity and curiosity. " Grismond's Tower," an 
 ancient circular tumulus, about 20 feet high, in which were found, about 
 50 or 60 years ago, several urns, contaiuing ashes and burnt bones ; an 
 ancient stone cross, which fonnerly stood in the lesser market place in 
 Cirencester ; and Alfred's Hall, a modern ruin, erected to commemorate the

 Bkimscomb, although a station, is a place of no importance ; but it lies

 four miles. The woollen and cloth manufactories of this town employ about 
 1,000 hands. 5 m. n. Miserden Castle, Sir E. B. Sandys, Bart. The 
 mansion, which is situated on an eminence in the park, has a very ancient 
 aspect, and is said to have been built with the materials of the old castle, 
 the site of which, a circular mound surrounded by a moat, is in a deep 
 valley within the park, now overgrown with trees. The castle was founded 
 by Ralph Musard, sheriff of the county from 17th John to 9th of Hem-y HE. 
 It is unknown when it was destroyed. The rooms of the present mansion 
 are capacious. Diu'ing the civil wars it was garrisoned for the Parliament 
 by 300 men. This ancient manor has belonged successively to the Musards, 
 De Spencers, Woodstocks, Mortimers, Kingstons, and Sandys.

 Atlesbury. Was originally a British tovm, which was conquered by 
 Cuthwolf, the brother of Cenlwin, King of the West Saxons, a.d. 571, and 
 was the Acglesberg, or jEglesbury of that people. It is a parliamentary 
 borough, market-town and parish, in the county of Bucks, of which it is 
 also the capital. It is situated on an eminence nearly in the centre of the 
 couuty, and surrounded by the rich vale which bears its name. Area of 
 parish, 3,200 a. The town, though formerly built of timber, now contains 
 several handsome streets and commodious houses, a fine hall, in which the 
 Lent assizes are held, and an ancient church, with a curiously carved 
 pulpit ; the chm'ch, from its elevated position, and the general flatness of the 
 surrounding country, forming a conspicuous object for many miles round. 
 The market-house is an elegant structure, said to have been built after the 
 model of the Temple of the Winds at Athens. Aylesbury contains also a 
 county gaol, an infirmary, a grammar school, founded by Sir Henry Lee, of 
 Ditchly, and several other cnarities. The inhabitants derive much profit

 Dunstable, county of Bedford, once the residence of the Norman kings. 
 It is a very ancient town, which was famous for its once celebrated priory, 
 founded by Henry I., a part of which forms the parish church, and two 
 arches in the adjoining waU. The priory church was originally in the form 
 of a cross, with a tower in the centre, supported by four lofty arches, parts 
 of which belonging to the two western pillars stUl remain. These are of a 
 large size, with clustered columns, and surmounted with hexagonal capitals. 
 This fabric appears to have been very extensive and magnificent. It is one 
 of the few specimens of Saxon architecture now remaining in the kingdom. 
 The roof is of oak, finely carved with knots of flowers, &c., and the beams 
 are supported by angeb horizontal and perpendicular. The west front, 
 though devoid of symmetry, was wonderfully enriched with a great diversity 
 of carving, &c. The centre of the town was formerly adorned with one of 
 those beautiful crosses erected hj Edward I. to the memory of Eleanor, but 
 the enthusiastic zeal displayed in the civil wars robbed the town of this 
 ornament. Many tournaments have been held at Dunstable in different 
 reigns, several of which the respective monarchs have honoured with their 
 presence ; but now, and for ages past, more celebrated as the principal place 
 tor the manufacture of strand-plait for the well-known Dunstable bonnets, 
 at which trade many females are employed. The town, which is situated 
 on the chalk downs, has a remarkable aspect, the old brick houses having

 seated, presenting a wide expanse of water, with islands and plantations of 
 almost indescribable beauty, while the breaks through the woods, the 
 groups of noble beech-treesj with the undulating surface of the park, give 
 a picturesque effect to the whole. The mansion, purchased in an unfinished 
 state of Sir Robert Napier by John, third Earl of Bute, was one of the 
 most splenclid edifices in this, or perhaps any other county, it was finished 
 by the brothers Adams, the architects of the Adelphi, &c., but has recently

 artificial mound, the site of the ancient castle. It was built in 1780, towards 
 the cost of wliich, Earl Temple, the ancestor of the Duke of Buckingham, 
 contributed largely, and is a very handsome stmcture. Of the educational 
 and charitable establishments we may cite the grammar school, founded by 
 Edward YL, the green-coat and national schools, two old hospitals, and 
 other small charities. The gaol, town hall, and union workhouse, are fair

 4 m. N. Cropredy Bridge. This spot acquires an interest from the battle 
 which took place in the civil war of King Charles, usually termed at that 
 period the battle of Cropredy Bridge. In this contest the King's forces 
 were disposed with much judgment. The van of his army was led by 
 General Wibnot, in the body was the King aud the Prince, and the rear 
 consisted of 1,000 foot under Colonel ThelwcU, with the Earl of 
 Northampton's and Earl of Cleveland's brigade of horse. A party of 
 dragoons was sent to keep Cropredy Bridge, which was attacked by Waller 
 with 1,500 horse, 1,000 foot, and 11 pieces of cannon, and to assist in the 
 execution of his design, he had sent 1,000 horse more to pass a ford one 
 mile below. Timely notice of this having been given to the Earl of 
 Cleveland he immediately charged that body, and put it to the rout. The 
 alarm quickly reached the King, who ordered the van to return, and himself, 
 drew up those about him, to a hill a little above the bridge, where he saw 
 the enemy preparing to charge against the Earl of Cleveland. The Earl of 
 Cleveland after Ms encounter made a stand under a great ash, where he 
 perceived a body of their horse of sixteen cornets and as many colours of 
 foot placed against the hedges and within nuisket-shot, and also advancing 
 upon him, which he likewise did upon them with notable vigour ; and 
 having stood their musket and carabine shot he charged them so furiously, 
 being well seconded by all the officers of his brigade, that he routed both 
 horse and foot, and chased them with good execution beyond their cannon, 
 all which, being eleven pieces, were taken, with two barricadoes of wood, 
 which were cb'awii upon wheels, and in each seven small brass aud leather 
 guns charged with case shot. Most of their cannoneers were killed, and 
 their General taken prisoner.

 St. Neot's. It is, however, probable that Mr. Higgins's house might have 
 been the site of that manor. The manor of Turvey was in the family of

 Tlie moimifiil refuge of an injui'ed Queen ; 
 Here flow'd her pure, but unavailing tears ; 
 Here bUnded zeal sustain'd her sinking years ; 
 Yet freedom hence her radiant banners wav'd, 
 And love avenged a realm by priests enslav'd : 
 From Catheiine's wrongs a nation's bliss was spread, 
 And Luther's hght fron'i Harry's lawless bed."

 adding extent and space to this luxurious retreat. The entrance is on the 
 east, under a rustic colonnade, having four niches in the outer M"all, adorned 
 with marble statues, and from the house the path is contuiued by a long 
 arch of foliage round the garden towards a sloping meadow, the garden of 
 which is laid out in the French taste, and separated from the meadow by a 
 ha-ha fence, at the bottom of which flows the river. At the entrance to 
 the paddock is a i-ustic lodge.

 which is navigable and is here crossed by several bridges. The streets and 
 thoroughfares are broad and well built, that called the Drapery being 
 remarkable for its handsome shops. The market-place, or square, is 
 surrounded by neatly-built houses of a reddish stone, dug from the quarries 
 in the vicinity. It fonnerly possessed seven parish churches, thi'ce of which 
 were destroyed by fire in 1675, with a considerable part of the town. Its 
 principal church, AH Saints, has a fine portico of eight Ionic columns, 
 sm-mounted by a statue of Charles II. ; St. Giles's has nothing worthy of 
 note ; St. Sepulchre is said to owe its origin to the Knights Templars, being 
 circular in form, and similar to that erected over the Holy Temple at 
 Jerusalem ; St. Peter's is considered a curious rehc of Gothic architecture. 
 There are also various Dissenting chapels. Of the cliarities we may cite 
 St. Thomas's jjoor hospital, fomided 1540 ; St. John's hospital, county 
 infirmary, lunatic asylmn, luiion workhouse, and an endowed grammar

 Delapre, or De-la-Pre Abbey, was a convent for nims of the Cluniac 
 order. It was fomided in the reign of Stephen, by Simon de Liz, senior 
 Earl of Nortliampton, the annual revenues of wliich were valued at the 
 dissolution at £119 9s. 7d. In the cemetery belonging to tliis convent, 
 Leland informs us that many soldiers were buried who fell in the sanguinary 
 conflict which took place in the fields of Hardingstone, in the 38th of 
 Henry VI., in which the Duke of Buckuigham with other noblemen 
 were killed, and the King taken prisoner. Near the south-west corner 
 of the park, where the abbey stood, is one of those monumental memorials 
 which King Edward I. erected to the memory of his consort. Queen 
 Eleanor. It is an ruterestiug and pictiu-esque structm-e. Standing on 
 eight steps in an open space and on elevated ground, it assumes a very 
 imposing appearance. Above the steps it is divided into three stories, the 
 lower of which has eight faces separated by buttresses at the angles. 
 Each face is ornamented with a pointed arch, having a central mulHon 
 pilaster wath tracery, and the whole sui-mountcd by a purfled pediment. 
 Two shields are also attached to each face, charged Mith the arms of 
 England and Pontliieu singly, and those of Castile and Leon quarterly.

 to £5,572 in 1838, a portion of which is employed in loans to deserving 
 tradesmen. The manufacture of boots and shoes, for which Northampton 
 is celebrated, employs upwards of a thousand hands ; it has also a 
 considerable trade in leather-dressing, saddleiy, brass and ii'ou works, lace 
 and hosiery ; and a fair for horses, which is much frequented. It has several 
 banks, and some local journals, and is the principal place of election for 
 the county. It has figured conspicuously in history, and was once the seat 
 of a university for a short period. Several Parliaments have been held 
 here. In 1460 the Earl of Warwick gained a victory over the Lancastrians 
 in the meadows of the Nen, near the towni, and in IGIB Northampton was

 Above this is a diminished square compartment, ornamented with tracery, 
 having crocheted pinnacles, pediments, &c. The whole is surmoimted with 
 a single shaft of stone in the form of a cross. This structure like many 
 others in the country, has been much injured and disfigured by officious 
 but tasteless persons, in repairs and restoration, in which they have iujui-ed 
 the masom-y of the building they professed to restore. About i m. e.

 healthfully seated on the brow of a hill, and thence commanding some 
 extensive views. Tlie towm of Northampton, particularly as seen from 
 some parts of this village, spreading over the brow and down the slope of

 William the Conqueror on the top of a hQl, the decli^^ty of which it 
 occupies. Here was convened, ia 1094, the council of barons, bishops, 
 and clergy, to settle the dispute between William Rufus and Archbishop 
 Anselm, respecting the right of episcopal investiture. The remains of this 
 fortress consist of two massive bastions which flanked the great gateway.

 a revenue of £288 per annum ; and manufactures of hats and ribbons. 
 Market, Tuesday ; foui' fairs, that held December 4th for cattle ; popidatiou, 
 3,743. Atherstone was a place of small consideration at the time of the 
 Conquest, and was bestowed on the monks of Bech in Normandy by 
 Hugh, Earl of Chester. The monks procured a weekly market and 
 yearly fair, and to their patronage the to^vn appears indebted for its 
 first steps towards prosperity. Atherstone also retains much interest in 
 an historical view, from the meeting that took place previous to the 
 battle of Bosworth between Riclmiond and the two Stanleys, in whicli 
 such measures of co-operation were concerted as occasioned the over- 
 throw of King Richard in the ensuing battle. This conference is 
 supposed to have taken place at the Hall Closes, the property of Charles

 ancient Priory of Augustine monks (originally from Bech, in Normandy). 
 The ancient chapel and choir are still standing and used as a church, and Latin 
 and English grammar schools. The property of the friars passed to the 
 Devereux at the Reformation, and through the Repingtons to the present 
 family, whose ancient seat was Kingsbridge in this county, where they still 
 hold rent-charges, remains of property first held by them in ] 100. About 
 half a mile below the house runs the river Anker, dividing the comities of 
 Warwick and Leicester.

 decorated style of the 13th and 14th centuries; it contains many inte- 
 resting monuments, amongst which are those of Lady ]\I. Wortley 
 Montague, Johnson, Garrick, Miss Seward, and the " Sleeping Children"

 4 m. N.E. Alrewas. A parish in the northern di^dsion of the hundred 
 of Offlow, county of Stafford (immediately adjoining Whichenolti, on the 
 opposite side of the river), the canal running almost through the centre of 
 the village, which is of considerable extent, and situated in the valley of 
 the Trent. The original chm-ch of this parish was established at a very 
 early period, being one of the prebends instituted by the Bishop of Lichfield 
 in 822. This place seems to have been celebrated in ancient times for 
 its eel fisherv. In the south division of the parish is a large extent of 
 waste grounci, called Fradley and Alrewas Common, a great proportion 
 of which is capable of being converted into excellent pasture ground. It 
 consists of between two and three thousand acres, and there is plenty of 
 marl in the neighbourhood. On one part of it is a remarkable spring, 
 vulgarly said to be bottomless, which always overflows, and though placed 
 in a low situation actually permits the plummet to descend 42 feet. 
 Near this well Dr. Plot mentions that an uncommon species of fungus was 
 found in his time, the interior of which resembled sponge, both in colour 
 and textiu-e, and was covered with a membranous skin. This fungus was 
 very large, being at least four or five inches in diameter, and rose from a 
 short pedicle, which extended broader and broader almost to its very brim, 
 in the shape of an inverted cone.

 situated on the side of a lofty sloping eminence, sheltered by rising grounds, 
 and embosomed in trees, commanding a most extensive and lovely prospect. 
 The mansion was partly rebuilt in the reign of Queen Elizabeth by Thomas, 
 Lord Paget, but many portions of the edifice are of much older date. The 
 exterior is very magnificent, and in the various alterations all its original 
 character has been judiciously preserved. It is built of stone and brick, 
 upon the plan of a half H. The old entrance porch in front leads into a 
 grand hall, 80 feet by 21 feet, with a lofty groined roof, and adorned at the 
 end with a beautiful window, containing the armorial bearings of William, 
 Lord Paget, K.G., and his lady. Here is also a magnificent gallery, 97 feet 
 long by 17 feet wide. The state rooms generally are of fine proportions. 
 This estate belonged originally to the Bishops of Lichfield, and was granted 
 to Sir William, afterwards Lord Pa^et, by King Edward VI. Of this 
 nobleman Fuller observes that a grand foreign potentate said, " He is not 
 fit to represent kings, but to be a king himself." 
 
 RuGELEY, a market-towTi and parish, county of Stafford, on the south-

 Area of parish, 7,120 a. The town is seated in a vale. It is w'cll built, 
 has an ancient church, besides chapels for Dissenters, a grammar school, 
 with an annual revenue of £350, almshouses, and other charities. 
 Manufactm-es of felt and hats, chemical works, iron forges, and in the 
 vicinity some large collieries give employment to the inhabitants. Market, 
 Tuesday. Hagley Hall, the Hon. Robert Curzon, is a very irregularly 
 built mansion, owdng to the many alterations and enlargements which have 
 been effected in the course of centuries. It was the patrimonial property 
 of the Weston family from the reign of Edward III. At what period the 
 house was built is imknoMai. It was, however, greatly improved by 
 Viscount Curzon, father of the present Earl Howe. It has a picturesque 
 appearance, and is surrounded with beautifid woods and plantations.

 the birthplace of Lord Anson, 1697. Area of parish, 8,800 a. 1 m. n.w. by vr.

 mansion is adorned with a magnificent portico of eight fluted columns of 
 the Ionic order ; and for the external appearance, as well as the noble 
 proportions of its apartments, there are few mansions in the county which 
 surpass it. James Stuart, the architect whose classic taste acquired for 
 him the title of Athenian, built a monument in a conspicuous spot in the 
 park to the memory of George, Lord Anson, the celebrated Admiral, which 
 is a perfect model of Adrian's Arch at Athens. It is called " The 
 Triumphal Arch," and is decorated wath medallions and naval trophies. 
 Many other classical works from the designs of Stuart adorn the grounds of 
 this beautiful estate. The lodges at the entrance of the principal approaches 
 to the house are greatly admired. 1^ m. further, Milford Hall, R. B.

 Near the station are three small villages, called Hamstal Ridwahe, 
 Pipe Ridware, and Mavesin Ridware. These three villages lie in an 
 angle between the river Blythe and the Trent. Somewhere m this neigh- 
 bourhood stood Blithsburgh, a Saxon town of great antiquity, which is 
 supposed to have risen on the ruins of some more important station, 
 belonging originally either to the native British or the Romans, and 
 afterwards successively occupied by the Saxons and Danes. At Hamstal 
 Ridware there is an old ehui'ch, with a spire, and it has some painted glass 
 in the windows. There are also several monuments. Adjoining the church 
 is the Manor House, and near it a watch-tower. In this house a curious 
 stone hammer, dug up in the neighbourhood, is preserved, as are likewise a 
 coat of mail provided for King Charles in the tnne of the rebellion, and a 
 curious iron case, in which the heads of scolding women were placed to 
 enforce silence, of which the foUowiiig description is given : " This truly 
 valuable instrument is composed of narrow, thin plates, opening into two 
 equal parts, having vacancies for the nose and eyes. When fixed on, a 
 piece of flat iron projects into the mouth, and pressing on the tongue 
 preserves sUence. There is a ring in the centre, through which a cord was 
 put to lead the culprit to the churchyard, where she was obliged to remain 
 until she promised reformation." At Malvesyn Rydware is the seat of 
 Hugo IVIalveysin Chadwick, Esq., and also an ancient church, dedicated to 
 St. Nicholas, which contains several antique monuments. Some of the 
 tombs have been opened at diiferent periods during the last century, and 
 in 1785 the stone cofiin in which lay the corpse of Hugo, the founder of 
 the Priory of Blithsburgh, was opened after an interval of 600 years. 
 The bones were in a tolerably entire state, but moist.

 recess, formed by the hundreds of Totmanslow and Offlow. The name of 
 Abbot was given to it from the circumstance of an abbey ha^ving been 
 founded in its neighbourhood. The towTi was formerly a place of more 
 importance than at present, and possessed a variety of privileges which are 
 now wholly neglected. It consists prmcipaUy of one extensive street, the 
 houses in wliicli are mostly bmlt of brick. There is a free school, founded 
 in 1603, and in a very flourishing condition ; and an almshouse weU 
 endowed. The church, dedicated to St. Nicholas, is a large building, and 
 an ancient structure, partly in the decorated, and partly in the later style of 
 English architecture, with a Nonnan entrance. The tower is surmounted 
 by a lofty steeple, containing some excellent bells. The trade of the town 
 is principally in malt, which is carried on to some extent. There are three 
 annual fairs : IVIarch 11th, May 22nd, and September 4th. 
 
 BKthfield Park, Lord Bagot. This very ancient seat of the noble family 
 of Bagot, came into their possession in the reign of Edward III., a.d. 1367. 
 The mansion surrounds a quadrangle, and retauis much of its ancient 
 simplicity, the alterations wliich have taken place at difterent periods not 
 having destroyed the character of the original architecture. The entrance 
 porch is pleasing, and the five pointed roofs in succession at once set the 
 stamp of antiquity upon the whole. Over the chimney of the hall is a good 
 sculpture in stone representing King John signing Magna Charta. The 
 library, and a dining-room lately added, are of good proportions. The 
 grounds are well disposed. 
 
 2 m. N.w. Tixall House, James Tyrer, Esq. The mansion is built of 
 Tixall stone, and is ornamented with a portico of the Doric order, the half

 length. The front is extended by a screen on each side, also decorated with 
 columns and pilasters of the same order to the length of 144 feet, each screen 
 being surmounted by a pedestal on which is a lion couchant. The apartments 
 are finely proportioned. The most interesting feature is however the ancient 
 gate-house which stands a few paces to the west of the mansion, and is

 STONEL£IGH ABBEY, LOKD LEIGH. 
 
 Leamington, county of Warwick, one of the prettiest towns and most 
 fashionable watering-places in England, is situated on the Leam, a branch of 
 the Avon. From an obscure hamlet, consisting only of a few cottages, it has 
 daring a few years, from tlie celebrity of its mineral springs, risen with 
 unprecedented rapidity into a large and populous town. The spaciousness 
 of its streets, the elegance of its houses, and the beauty and interest of the 
 surrounding scenery is not excelled by any place in the kingdom. The river 
 Leam, over which is a handsome stone bridge connecting the old with the 
 new town and the river Avon, wind through the adjoining meadows, 
 enlivening the landscape ; and in the distance are seen the stately towers

 justly considered the most elegant antique edifice of its kind in the kingdom. 
 It consists of three stories, decorated with Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian 
 columns, and is flanked by four octagonal towers, and viewed in front it 
 presents a mass of building as grand and important as the mansion itself. 
 Behind this splendid building are the ruins of the ancient seat of the Actons, 
 which was completed in 1555, the most remarkable of which are a bay- 
 window richly decorated with Gothic ornaments, and an oriel, on the 
 ceding of which are the arms, neatly carved in stone, of jVIoutfort, Treville, 
 Byron, and Walsh, ancestors of the Actons. The grounds are beautifully 
 disposed.

 i m. "W. Kenilworth, so named after Kenulph one of the Kings of 
 Mercia, is a market-to^Ti in the county of Warwick, celebrated for its 
 castle, which furnished one of the most beautiful subjects for the pen of 
 Sir Walter Scott. It was built temp. Henry I., and retained all its 
 majestic grandeur until the ruthless hands of Cromwell's soldiers sacked 
 and partly destroyed it. The extensive ruins are still the object of general 
 attraction ; there are also some vestiges of an abbev, founded about the 
 same period. The town, wliich is beautifully situated, consists of one long 
 street, with an old church containing a modern stained glass window of 
 great beauty. It has also a granunar school. Area of parish, 6,460 a. ; 
 population, '3,149, chiefly employed in the manufacture of gauzes, ribbons, 
 horn-combs, and chemical products. 4 m. further, Wroxhall Abbey, 
 Chandos Wreu-Hoskyns, Esq. A nunnery was founded where the Abbey 
 now stands in the reign of Stephen, by Hugh de Hatteu. The nuns were of 
 the Benedictine order, and the revenues at the dissolution amounted to 
 £72 125. 6d. In the 36th of Henry VIII. the site of the numieiy, with 
 the church and lands, was granted to Robert Burgoync and John Scuda- 
 more, and a mansion was shortly after erected here by the Burgoyne 
 family. This mansion with the manor of Wroxhall was pui-chased in 1713 
 by the eminent Su- Christopher Wren, and both are now, or lately were, 
 the property of his descendant Christopher Wren, Esq. 1^ m. further, 
 Baddesley, Clinton Hall, the fine old baronial seat of M. E. Ferrers, Esq., 
 the male representative of the great house of Ferrers. 
 
 2 m. w. Warwick, lies nearly in the centre of the county to which it 
 gives name, on the right bank of the river Avon, which is liere crossed by 
 a one-arched stone bridge, erected at the expense of the Earl of Warwick. 
 It is a parliamentary and municipal borough town, and capital of the county. 
 Ai-ea of borough, 5,360 a. ; population, 9,775. It returns two members to 
 Parliament; registered electors (1848), 787. Corporation revenue (1848), 
 £2,355. Markets, Tuesday and Saturday. It stands on a rocky eramence ; 
 the streets are regularly "laid out and well built, modern improvements 
 owing their origin to a \lreaclful conflagration which nearly consumed the 
 whole town in 1694. It was once entirely surrounded, by walls and 
 strongly fortified, the traces of which are still visible. At either end of the 
 town is a gateway, the western surmounted by a beautiful chapel. It has 
 two parish ehmxhes, St. Mary and St Nicholas, the former has a square 
 tower 130 feet high, and contains many rich and splendid monuments.

 for bathing. The spring first discovered here is called the Old Well, and 
 its -water was analysed in 1088. The second in 1784. The hotels, baths, 
 and other buildings are suited to the taste, condition, and requirements of 
 the various classes of visitors. The museum and picture gallery contains 
 a good collection of foreign birds, beasts, &c., and an extensive collection 
 of pictures. The church, an ancient structure dedicated to All Saints, is 
 in the decorated style of English architecture with a tower surmounted by 
 a spire ; it has been considerably eidarged, and undergone many recent 
 alterations. An Episcopal Cliapel lias been built in the upper town, pro- 
 fessedly after the Norman model, and in some respects the details of tliat 
 style have been imitated ; tlie interior is darkened by the adoption of the 
 massive round column, and the deep-toned painting of the glass in the 
 windows. There are places of worslup for Independents and "VVesleyan 
 Methodists. 2 m. e. Offchurch, now a small village, is traditionally 
 said to have been a place of note in the Saxon Era, and that during the 
 Octarchy, Offa, King of Mercia, made it his residence. The manor was 
 long vested in'the Priors of Coventry, and was granted at the dissolution 
 to the family of Knightlcy. The Warwick and Napton Canal intersects 
 the old Roman Eossway on the southern boundary of the parish. The 
 church is dedicated to St. Gregory and endowed with £200 private bene- 
 factions and £200 royal bounty, Saxon Era. Oifchurch Bury, Lord 
 Guernsey, M.P. A part of this building has marks of considerable 
 antiquity, and it is probable tliat the Priors of Coventry used this messuage 
 on theii" manor as a place of occasional retirement. To the tHSto ancient 
 divisions of the structure large additions have been made, but not without 
 some attention to the original chax-acter of the building. A profound 
 though agreeable air of retirement marks the neighbourhood of this seat.

 All the pubHc buildings and institutions of the town are handsome and 
 well endowed, but it would be difficult, if not impossible, to do them justice 
 in the narrow space to which this account must be confined. The anti- 
 quities of Warwick, which is supposed to be of Saxon origin, would 
 require a volume to describe them witli accui'acy. Independently of the 
 Avon, Warwick has the advantage of a canal. Manufactures hats, worsted, 
 and silk, and an iron-foundry. Warwick also possesses chapels for all 
 denominations of Dissenters, a grammar school, ^yiih two exhibitions to 
 Oxford, and several to Cambridge University ; almshouses, and other 
 charities, producing an annual revenue of nearly £7,000. The court house, 
 gaol, county hall, market house, and museum are all good 1)uildiugs. 
 Warwick Castle, Earl of Warwick. The Castle stands on a rock, at the 
 base of whicli flows the river Avon. The approach exhibits three stu- 
 pendous towers. The entrance is flanked •n-ith embattled walls covered 
 with ivy, and towards the river a magnificent view of the buildmg is displayed. 
 The whole exterior is higlily calcdated to excite chivalric hardihood and 
 baronial pride. The jdeasure-groimds are arranged vdth remarkable good 
 taste, and the park abounds with wood and water, and is replete with

 retreat of Guy Earl of Warwick. Henry V. visited Guy's Cliffe and gave 
 orders for founding a chantry, which were carried into efi'ect in the reign 
 of Henry VI. by Richard Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick. John Rous was 
 chantry priest here, and wrote a work on the antiquities of Guy's Cliffe. 
 The chapel and possessions were granted at the dissolution to Sir Andrew 
 Flamock. In the adjacent rounds is a cross erected on Blacklow Hill, 
 whereon Gaveston, Earl of Cornwall was executed by the Barons in 
 the reign of Edward 11. ; and also Guy's Well and Guy's Cave, connected 
 with the history of Guy, Earl of Warwick, whose effigy was carved out 
 of the solid rock in the chapel, temp. Hem-ici VI. The house contains

 the ruins of Dale Abbey. This was a house of the Proemonstratensian 
 order, and dedicated to the Virgin Mary. A monk who belonged to it lias 
 left a manuscript history of its founder, from which it appears, "There 
 once lived ui the street of St. Mary, in Derby, a baker, who, having spent 
 many years in acts of benevolence and piety, went to Deep Dale, which 
 was very marshy ground, near which under the side of a hdl he cut in the 
 rock a small dwelling, and built an altar towards the south, and there 
 spent day and night in the Divine service, suffering hunger, tliirst, cold and 
 want." Subsequently Serls de Grendon (1st of Heniy II.) invited canons 
 from Caike who settled here, and they with immense labour and expense 
 built a church and other offices. Their Prior also went to the Court of 
 Rome and obtained important privileges, and the place was much fre- 
 quented by persons of all ranks ; but in a short time the canons became 
 corrupted from the prosperity of their situation, and frequented the forest 
 more than the church, and were more intent upon hunting than prayer, so 
 much so that the King commanded them to return to Calke. They were 
 succeeded by other canons from Tupholme, but the latter did not remain 
 long at Deep Dale, and it was not until Geoffry de Salescosamara and 
 William de Grendon obtained charters, that it recovered its former position. 
 The annual revenue at the dissolution amounted to £144 12s. The 
 church was a very grand and magnificent structure, but hardly any part of 
 it is now standing except the arch of the east ■window, which is partly 
 covered with ivy and forms a pleasing object. The chapel stdl remains 
 standing at a little distance from the abbey ruins, and Divine service now 
 is, or latterly was, regularly performed in it. Beyond, on a pleasant 
 wooded hill, is the hermitage or cave cut in the rocK by the poor baker. 
 This is overhung with trees, and had originally a window on each side of 
 the doorway. The abbey buildings appear to have been of considerable 
 extent, various parts having been converted into dwelling-houses and 
 barns. Some of the windows of these houses contain painted glass with 
 inscriptions.

 was built by the great Nomian Baron Renerel soon after the Conquest. It 
 became not long after the property of the Crown, and was for many 
 centuries one of the most important of the royal fortresses. The present 
 castle was rebuilt in the reign of Elizabeth, by the Countess of Shrewsbury 
 and her son, Sir Charles Cavendish ; and the adjacent magnificent range of 
 buildings, now in ruins, in the reign of Charles I. by WiUiam Cavendish, 
 first Duke of Newcastle. Charles I. and Hemietta 5laria were frequently 
 entertained at Bolsover Castle. The present proprietor, the Duke of 
 Portland, is heir to the Cavendishes, Dukes of Newcastle. This castellated 
 and very ancient building is in excellent repair, and has been lately fitted 
 up in the old English style by the Rev. Jolm Hamilton Gray, who now 
 inhabits it. The situation is commanding, the view magnificent, and the 
 castle a most picturesque object from the surrounding country. The 
 proportions and decorations of several of the rooms are extremely beautiful, 
 and the castle is an excellent specimen of an ancient mansion in good 
 preservation, and in its modem arrangements preserving its original 
 character.

 six splendid Corinthiau columns, supporting a beautifidly ornamented 
 tympanum and pediment, and the whole fa^oMe is light and elegant. The 
 apartments are numerous, exquisitely proportioned, and splendidly decorated. 
 The park, which iiicludes a circuit of eight miles, is very fine, with au 
 abundance of majestic old timber. Well)eck Abbey, Duke of Portland, 
 has very little appearance of a monastic edifice, its turrets and architectural 
 embellishments partaking entirely of the usual character of buildings of the 
 early part of the 17th century, although many changes have been effected 
 since the period of its construction. It is a noble and elegant fabric, and 
 the interior fittings are of the most costly nature, while the proportions 
 of all the apartments are perfect. The library is a noble chamber, the 
 ceiling and chimney-piece of florid Gothic. The collection of pictures in 
 this princely establishment is of the highest rank, amongst which are some 
 of the rarest specimens of the Dutch school. The park, which was a part 
 of the ancient and extensive forest of Sherwood, is about eight miles in 
 circumference, and contains some of the finest timber in England. The 
 exquisite beauty of its forest trees, their great age and size, the flourishing 
 plantations, and the general beauty of the grounds, embellished with a 
 noble lake, have long been the theme of the tourist's admiration.

 foundations of a pre^dous fort. It is situated on the top of a lofty hill, on 
 the south side of the river Don, and commands most extensive and 
 beautiful views. It was, as is apparent from the remains, a very grand 
 pile of building. The groimd plot of the castle is 700 feet in circum- 
 ference, sm-rounded by a fosse 40 feet deep. Much of the outward wall, 
 and the foimdatiou of the inner, are visible; and the noble keep, 78 feet 
 high, is almost entii-e. It was the property of the Crown until granted 
 by James II. to Lord Dover ; it now belongs to the Duke of Leeds.

 250 feet, and for grandeur of style in the composition, and elegance of 
 decoration and finishing, both externally and internally, it ranks with the 
 first buildings iu the kingdom. The M"ings of the north front are enriched 
 with emblematical medallions, executed in a masterly manner by CoUins, 
 from the designs of Zucchi. In tlie centre is a handsome pediment, 
 supported by six three-quarter Corintldau columns, 30 feet high, which 
 compose the entrance from a flight of steps to a noble hall of the Doric 
 order, decorated with statues, urns, &c., which conducts through a range of 
 noble apartments, furnished ■n'ith the utmost magnificence. The south 
 front has also a noble portico of four columns, from Avhich is seen, over an 
 extensive slope, a beautiful sheet of water, beyond which the scenery over 
 the country is of sm'passing beauty. To the north, over a fertile vale, 
 intersected bv the river "\Miarfe, is seen Alms Cliff, a vast rock, vrhich rises 
 with extraordinary grandeur, and is visible at a distance of forty miles. The 
 gi'ounds were laid out by Capability Brown, and it may be truly afiirmed 
 it is one of the most beautiful demesnes in the kingdom. Just through the

 hospital, tlieatre, lil)raries, promenade and assembly rooms, and a race 
 course. The springs, clialybeate, sulphur, and saline waters, attract about 
 tTvo thousand visitors of rank and fashion during the season between spring 
 and autumn. The siilphm- well has been in high repute for cases of

 an inscription cai-ved in one of tlie rooms, the castle was built by Sir T\ . 
 Ingilby in the reign of T^'illiam and Mary. It has, however, been of late 
 years much enlarged, and is now a commodious mansion, embattled only for 
 ornament. The lodge and great tower still retain theii- great charac-

 Ripox, a city, parliamentary and municipal borough, and parish, on the 
 Ure, crossed by a bridge of seventeen arches, in the West Riding of the 
 county of York. It sends two members to Parliament ; registered electors 
 (1841), 561. Corporation revenue (1848), £218. The new bishopric of 
 Ripon comprises witliin its diocese most of the West Riding of the county 
 of York and a part of the North Riding. The minster was founded prior 
 to 661, in the time of St. Wilfred, who was its first Abbot ; but the date of 
 the present edifice, now called the cathedral, is not earlier than the ] 5th 
 century. It is a nobly-proportioned stmcture, 266 feet in length, transepts 
 132 feet. The town is delightfully situated, and though not regularly, it is 
 handsomely built, ^ith a s))acious market place ornamented witli a lofty 
 obelisk in its centre. The episcopal palace, and the modern Gothic parish 
 churcli, and the to^Ti liall and assembly rooms, are fine buildings. Here 
 are also a free grannnar school, national and endowed blue-coat schools, 
 numerous poor's hospitals and charities, a council liouse, house of correc- 
 tion and gaol, public rooms, library, branch banks, and a mechanics' 
 institute. Here are also manufactures of flax and of sadcUe-trees, and large 
 markets for wool, com, and butter every Thursday. In 1165, King 
 Heurv IV. held his court at Ripon, and Bishop Porteus was bom here in 
 1731." 2h m. w. Hollin House, P. H. Wood, Esq. The House, which- is 
 beautifully situated amidst finely timbered and picturesque grounds, forms 
 a pleasing object from the railroad, which passes within a quarter of a mile 
 of it, about two miles from Ripon. 2 m. s.w. Studley Royal, Earl de Grey. 
 The house is elegaut and commodious, the apartments beautifully finished, 
 and the collection of pictui-es by the great masters of the highest quality. 
 The prospects from the mansion are varied and pleasing over hiU and dale, 
 and the park (of 700 acres) is enlivened by herds of deer. Beyond the 
 woods and plantations, which are very extensive and most tastefully 
 disposed, are seen Ripon Cathedi-al and part of the town, with the edge of 
 the moors, Tliirsk terminating the distant prospect. The pleasure-grounds 
 of Studley are tlie most beautifid in England, occupying an area of 300 
 acres. They are situated in a vaUey about three-quarters of a mile from 
 the house, which is watered by a brook which runs from Eountains Abbey, 
 the hills on either side being covered with wood, while the most luxui-iant 
 foliage adoi'us the entrance. This is indeed a faiiy land, where in the 
 midst of the most enchanting sylvan sceneiy glides in one place the silent 
 and silvery stream, which at a short distance rushes like a torrent and falls 
 in graceful cascades. Here and there are placed beautiful statues, grottos,

 fincmciit is supposed to bare been iu that part of the riiiu still called the 
 King's Chamber. Li the early part of the civil war, and until the 
 reduction of York by the Parliament in 1644, the Eoyalist garrison at 
 Kuaresborough consisted of a great nmnber of horse and foot, and was the 
 terror of the surrounding country. Scarcely a day passed iu which 
 the Parliament did not receive intelligence of wanton cruelties. The 
 massive walls and formidable towers are fast mouldering away. The castle 
 contained nearly two and a half acres within its walls. Scriveu Hall, Sir 
 Charles Slingsby, Bart., is agreeably situated iu the park. The house 
 has been erected at different periods, but the new front was built by Sir 
 Henry Slingsby, who also made the road through the park. 
 
 2i m. E. Faknham, a parish, "Low" division wapentake of Clarow, West 
 Kidiug of York. Like most other parts of Yorkshire, minerals here abound 
 more or less ; iu the year 1757 a copper mine was opened, but the 
 adventurers failed iu success, from want of care iu their undertaking. The 
 parish is bounded on the west by the river Nid, which descends from 
 Midderdale by Pateley Bridge, Ripley, to Kuaresborough, where it joins the 
 river Ouse.

 2 m. s.E. Newby Hall, Earl de Grey. This mansion is built of brick, 
 and stands on the eastern bank of the river Ure, commanding a fine 
 prospect over a fertile and well-cultivated country almost as far as Y'ork. 
 The situation was chosen and the structure designed by Sii' Christopher 
 Wren, about the year 1705. The house is of an elegant construction, the 
 portico has on each side the figure of a dog iu Portland stone, said to be 
 copies of the celebrated dogs of Alcibiades at Dimcombe Park, and are 
 extremely well executed. The entrance hall is very spacious, and is 
 adorned with an excellent organ ; there is also a large inlaid table 
 exhibiting 171 specimens of dlft'erent marbles, and two other tables of 
 Egyptian granite. In the drawing-room, which is 10 feet by 26 feet, is 
 some splendid tapestry from the tamous Gobelin's manufactory at Paris. 
 This wonderful imitation of nature by art comprises Venus rising out of 
 the sea, Venus requesting Vulcan to complete the arms of J^lneas, 
 Vertumnus and Pomona, and Diana and Endymion. The ceiling is 
 divided by cornices, elegantly wrought and richly gilt, into compartments 
 in which are the four seasons ; Diana accompanied by Nymphs, Venus and 
 the Graces, and Pliaeton attended by the Hours. The great staircase is 
 adorned with two columns of the most beautiful marble, with pilasters of 
 the same. The statue-gallery consists of a suite of three apartments, those 
 at the two ends are squares, the middle one is a rotunda cro\Mied with a 
 dome from which it receives its light. This repository excites the 
 admiration of all connoisseurs, the collection of statues, busts, &c. being 
 one of the best in the kingdom. Among these may be chiefiy remarked an 
 antique whole-length statue of Apollo, recliuiug against the trunk of a tree 
 after having destroyed the serpent Python, a small Muse, a Sdenas, a 
 bust of Hercules placed ou a tripod decoi'ated with three hassi-relievi, 
 representing various figui-es of Bacchantes, a bust of young Brutus, a 
 remarkably large antique sarcophogus of veined marble, grey and white, 
 9 feet in length, 5 feet in height, and 3 feet in width, the content is said 
 to be 211 gallons; it rests on foui' large feet representing the paws of a 
 Uon, with a lion's head sculptured above each of them. It is said that 
 when this extraordinary sarco]3hagus was found it contained some remains 
 of a human skeleton enclosed in a sheet of silver. Here are also two 
 small sarcophagi, one of which is ornamented with hassi-relievi of children 
 at play. Li the parlour, which is 20 feet square, the chimney-piece is of 
 Egyptian granite, and it contains also a cm-ious table of the same material. 
 In the library, which is of large dimensions, is a valuable collection of 
 books. The dining-room is 60 feet by 20 feet. The ceiling is supported

 midst of delightful walks, with a noble banqueting house; near to the 
 last place is a Gothic seat from which the venerable and truly majestic 
 ruins of Fountains Abbey are most advantageously seen, and it has been 
 truly observed that the prospect is the most impressive the imagination 
 can "^ conceive. On both sides of the valley rocks and hUls, covered with 
 wood, rise romantically in all their natural wildness, and a fine lawn 
 extends to where the abbey rears its venerable head in striking contrast 
 with the seat of this enchanting scenery, M^hich must be visited to be 
 appreciated, as the descriptive powers of the most imaginative poet would 
 be inadequate to do justice to the reality.

 The architecture is a fantastic mixtui'e of Gothic and Moorish, and pro- 
 duces a strikiiigly grand effect arising from the numerous tuiTcts and 
 pinnacles, the rich colour of the stone, and the majestic appearance of the 
 whole given by the appearance of two stately Tiu'kisli domes. About

 back part of the house are nearly in the same state as at the time of 
 Charles's refuge, but some of the other parts have been much altered, 
 particularly an out-builduig converted into a sitting parlour, the principal 
 entrance removed, and the land in front of the house laid out as a pleasure- 
 ground ; but whatever could be traced of the Kiug's conccahneut has been 
 preserved with care, and even an oak springing from au acorn of the 
 original tree that slieltered the King, now stands a large tree in the

 Parliament; registered electors (1818), 1,538; corporate revenue at same 
 date, £2,634. The town is handsome, and possesses many excellent houses. 
 It has a large town hall, county ditto, several ancient and handsome 
 chiu'ches, a market house, military depot, county gaol, infirmary, a theatre, 
 said to be a part of the ancient palace of the Princes of Po-n'ysland ; and at 
 the entrance of the town is a fine column in honour of the late Lord Hill. 
 It also contaius a very richly endowed grammar school, founded by 
 Edward VI., with a revenue of £3,000 per annum, and twenty-two 
 exhibitions to the Universities. Milling-ton's hospital has a revenue of 
 £1,230 ; and there are numerous other weU-endowed charities. Amongst the 
 places of amusement we may cite the music-haU, assembly-rooms and 
 promenades ; it also possesses a public library, a literary and philosophical 
 society, and a mechanics' institute. It has twelve corporate trading 
 companies, and manufactories of linen-thread, canvas, iron wares, brawn 
 and cakes, and a trade in coal and corn facilitated by the Severn, here 
 navigable for vessels of 30 or 40 tons, and by a branch of the Grand 
 Junction Canal as well as the railway. Its salmon fishery is well known. 
 Shrewsbury is governed by a mayor, aldermen, and assistants. The county 
 assizes, and sessions for county and town are held here. Shrewsbmy was 
 formerly surrounded by a M-all, defended by several towers, and had three 
 principal entrance gates, but the latter have entirely disappeared and there 
 are but slight traces of the former in existence. The castle was of great 
 strength, but it was dismantled temp. James II., and is now a private 
 residence of great beauty and interest. In 1403, the celebrated Hotspur 
 was slain near this town in the battle between Henry IV. and the Percys, 
 &c., and the town itself has sustained two severe sieges. Parliaments have 
 been held here, and it has several times for short periods been the residence 
 of royalty. Markets, Wednesday and Saturday, i m. n.w. Berwick Hall,

 siderable portions were taken down, and the house was very much enlarged. 
 The wings, stables, terraces, gateways and lodges (to a park wall of two 
 miles), keeping up the Elizabethan* character, have been added by the 
 present possessor. Sir Andrew Vincent Corbet, Bart. The liouse stands on 
 an eminence commandijig a most extensive view over half the country. 
 Moreton Corbet Castle, the ancient seat of the family, burnt during the 
 civil wars, is one of the most Ijeautiful ruins extant. About H m. distant, 
 Morton Corbet, anciently a Saxon castle, was nearly rebuilt in the 16th 
 century, is situate eight miles from Shrewsbury. The church contains 
 several fancy monuments of the Corbet family. 4 m. further, Hawkestone 
 Park, LordHin. This elegant modern structure stands on the side of a 
 beautifully romantic hiU. It consists of a centre and two wings. Facing 
 the west there is a fine portico, supported by lofty and well-proportioned 
 pillars of the composite order. The interior comprises many elegant 
 apartments. The park and grounds are celebrated for their extraordinary 
 combination of natural and artificial beauties. The scenery includes bold 
 and craggy rocks, hiU and dale, rich and extensive tracts of venerable 
 timber, which is enlivened by a noble expanse of water, nearly two miles 
 long, and in some places 100 yards wide. Many of the prospects are 
 rendered more striking and magnificent as they are attained by passages cut 
 in tlie rock, emerging from wliich, they being totally dark, makes the 
 contrast more effective. The different ornamental buildings occupy most 
 appropriate situations, and on an obelisk is a statue of Sir Rowland Hill, 
 first Protestant Lord Mayor of London. Near this obelisk is a cavern in 
 which, during the civil wars, an ancestor of the Hill family secreted 
 himself on account of his zealous attachment to the King ; he was, however, 
 discovered and confined in the Red Castle adjacent, which was soon after 
 demolished. Its remains, consisting of broken walls and tiuTcts, have a 
 fine picturesque appearance, situated on the summit of a hill covered on aU 
 sides by large trees and thick wood. About 2 m. w. of Hawkestone, Wem. 
 In the civil war this was the first town in Salop which declared for the 
 Parbament. Lord Capel, the Royalist General, was sent with 5,000 men 
 to reduce it, but was defeated by the forces under Sir William Brereton. 
 In the battle several women are said to have greatly distinguished them- 
 selves, which gave rise to the following : 
 
 " The women of Weni and a few musketeers, 
 Beat Lord Capel and all liis cavaliers." 
 
 The manor of Wem was granted by James II. to the infamous Judge 
 .Jeffries, who was also created Baron Wem.

 One of the eighteen churches found in this county at the Norman

 Bm-ltou Hall, Robert Chambre Yaughan, Esq. the Hall has from time 
 immemorial been the capital messuage or mansion of the lords of the 
 manor of Burlton, which manor was in 10S7 granted by Roger de Mont- 
 gomery to the Abbey of St. Peter and St. Paul iu Shrewsbury. It 
 continued attached thereto till the dissolution of the abbey, when it was 
 seized by Henry VIII. It did not, however, remain long in the Crown. 
 In the 2nd of Elizabeth, we find it mentioned in the partition of the estates 
 of a person named " Griffiths." It then passed to the family of Sawby, of 
 which was Sir Edward Sawby, K.B., who dying, left an only daughter 
 named Ursula ; she married first. Sir Robert Bertie, K.B., and, secondly, 
 George Penruddock, Esq., who thus became possessed of Burhon. This 
 gentleman taking an active part in the wars of King Charles and his 
 Parhament, and being a zealous royalist, this manor, as did many others m 
 the kingdom, changed its o\raer,' and became the property of Arthur 
 Chambre, Esq., of the Anglo-Norman family of that name, with whose 
 posteritv it has remamed from that time to the present, and now belongs to 
 his descendant and representative, the present proprietor. The haU was 
 ahnost in ruins a few years back, but ui 1837 it was thoroughly repaired.

 i m. x.E. Woodhouse, William M. Owen, Esq. 5 m. further, Elles- 
 MERE. This place derives its name from the Mere, or great lake that 
 washes it, and is of great antiquity, as we find the place was of importance 
 m the Confessor's time. In the year 1177, Henry 11., among other grants, 
 o-ave it to Da^-id the son of Owen. In the 6th of John, a castle (which 
 had been built some time previous) and the manor of Ellesmere passed to 
 the Prmce of Wales. The contmual skirmishes between the English and 
 Welsh made the tenure of EUesmere very precarious, and it frequently 
 changed owners, or at least possessors. None of the rums of the castle 
 are left, but the eminence on which the keep stood discovers that it has 
 been an ancient fort. The town is neat and clean, and rendered exceed- 
 ingly beautifid by the fine wood-fringed lake which comes close to its 
 walls. The trade is principally in malt, which is carried on to a great 
 extent ; and many of the labouring class are employed iu the spinning of 
 flax. The church is a spacious, but irregular, cruciform building. Li the 
 centre is a handsome square tower, adorned with pinnacles. The tracery of 
 the great eastern window is highly beautiful. In a chapel south of the 
 chancel is an ancient tomb of the Kynastons of Herdley. The ceihng 
 of this part is highly enriched with Gothic fret work. Oakley Park._ 
 This mansion, which is of modern construction, stands on the banks of 
 the river Teme, and contains a collection of good paintings. The groimds, 
 natiu-aUv romantic and beautiful, are laid out with great taste and judg- 
 ment; the remains of a fine forest of oaks and the meanderings of the 
 Teme contribute greatly to enrich the scene. The prospects in various 
 directions are charming, one in particular towards the south-east, com- 
 prehending the town and castle of Ludlow, is much and deservedly 
 celebrated.

 to recover her independence in 1164, the neighbourhood of Chirk Castle 
 was the theatre of the most sanguinary battle ever fought between the 
 English and the Welsh. Many of the English slain on the occasion were 
 buried in Offa's Dyke, and in allusion to that circumstance the place still 
 continues the appellation of Adware Bedore (the parcel of the graves.) 
 
 4 m. w. Llangollen, a market-town and parish, North Wales, county 
 of Denbigh, on the Dee, across which is a fine old bridge. Population, 
 4,906. The town lies in a narrow vale, surrounded by lofty mountains, and 
 is celebrated for the beauty of its scenery. It is well built, has a hand- 
 some ancient church, and good hotels. The inhabitants are partly employed 
 in flamiel manufactures. About a mile distant, on a rugged hill, stand the 
 ruins of Cadr Dines Brand, an ancient castle, and 1 m. fm-ther on, are the 
 picturesque remains of VaUe Crucis Abbey, founded about the year 1,200 
 by Madoc, Prince of Powis. 4 m. from the town is the Cysylltaw Aqueduct, 
 126 feet high, with nineteen arches, by which the EUesmere Canal is carried

 nothing of importance occm-red. Here at that time Owen Glyndwr entered 
 the town with a small army, and assailed the fortress, but without success. 
 In the time of Charles I. the castle.was held for the King, but was given 
 up soon after to the Parliament. It stood, not on the sunnnit, but on the 
 side of the hill fronting the vale to the west, and from the extensive 
 foundations, and massive fragments of walls, seems to have been a grand 
 structure. The poor remains of tliis pile consist of a few fragments of 
 towers and fallen walls, nearly reduced to the foundations ; and the area of 
 the once formidable fortress at present comprises a nujadow, fives coui't.

 library. The house is beautifullv situated on a fine aud extensive lawn, 
 having a noble artificial sheet of water in front, and commanding a very 
 interesting and delightfid prospect of a fine valley diversified with every- 
 thing that can satisfy a cultivated mind. There is an avenue of fine oaks, 
 elms, beeches, chestnuts, and asli, which extends upwards of one mile as 
 you enter the park and approach the mansion. One oak, called the King, 
 is of immense size. The park is enclosed with a stoue wall eight miles in

 3 m. s.w. Bryn-y-gaer, an ancient fortification, beyond which are the 
 ruins of Caergwrle" Castle. This interesting ruin was originally a British 
 post, which, in conjunction with the neighbouring fortress of Caer Estyn, 
 aefended tliis vicinity. It was afterwards a Roman station, and was 
 distinguished by the usual accompaniment of Roman luxiuy, for in 
 Camden's time, in 1606, a gardener discovered here, by digging, an hyjwcaust 
 6f yards long, 5 yards broad, and i a yard high, supported by pillars, 
 consisting of polished tUes, on some of which were inscribed the letters 
 " Legio XX.," which seems to point out the founders. The first circumstance 
 in our records of this castle is a.d. 876, when Roderick the Great dinded 
 the principality of Wales into cautreds. In 877, when the Saxons invaded 
 North Wales, they comjjrehended it in their hundred called Exestan. In 
 1281 Edward I. and Queen Eleanor resided here a short time. 
 
 2 m. N.vv. Hawarden Castle, Sir S. R. Glynne, Bart. This is a castellated 
 mansion of modern erection, in the Gothic style of the 13th century. In 
 the park are the ruins of a castle, of very ancient date, built by the Britons. 
 Offa, King of JNIercia, in 7S0 made his celebrated dyke (called Clawdd 
 Offa) as a boundary between his kingdom and Wales, at which time 
 Hawarden formed part of his dominions. At a subsequent period the Earl 
 of Leicester, after taking Hemy III. and his son Prince Edward prisoners 
 at the battle of Lewes, held in 126*1 a political conference at this castle 
 with Llywelyn, Prince of Wales, at which peace was made between the 
 Welsh frontiers and the marshes of Cheshire, and soon after the barons 
 were compelled to make their submission for tenure to Llywelyn the Prince 
 of Wales, instead of to Hem-y the King of England. This forti'css was 
 for centuries in the possession of the Stanley family, but on James Earl of 
 Derby being taken prisoner at the battle of Worcester and beheaded, the 
 estate became sequestrated in 1651, when it was pui'chased by an ancestor 
 of the present possessor. Hawarden was the bii'thplace of that great 
 patron of the fine arts. Alderman BoydeU, late Lord Mayor of London. 
 
 Erom hence there is a short brancli to Mold. 
 
 Chester, the Deva Castra of the Romans, who long held it as a military 
 station of great importance, is an episcopal city, a county of itself, a 
 parliamentary and municipal borough, and a river port, the capital of the 
 county, situated on the Dee, here crossed by two bridges. Area of city, 
 compiising eleven parishes, 3,016 a. ; population, 22,961. It sends two 
 members to Parliament ; registered electors (1848), 2,216. The history 
 and antiquities of this curious and venerable city would fiU volumes ; our 
 brief notice cannot, therefore, do even the famtest justice to so memorable 
 a spot. Chester stands on a rocky eminence, almost entirely sur- 
 rounded by its ancient fortifications, wliirli form an oblong quadrangle.

 2 m. N.w. Eaton Hall, Marquis of Westminster. This noble and 
 princely mansion was built by the late Marquis, from the design and 
 under the superintendence of Mr. Purdon, architect, on the site of the old 
 haU, a square brick fabric erected by Sir Thomas Grosvenor in the reign of 
 WilUam III. The fine vaulted basement-story of the old house was 
 preserved, and the external foundations and some sub-divisions ; but the 
 superstructure was altered and entirely refitted, and additional apartments 
 erected on the north and south sides, so as to make the area of the new 
 house twice as large as the former. The style of architectui-e is tliat of the 
 reign of Edward III., as exhibited in York Minster, with occasionally the 
 low Tudor arch and other styles of ecclesiastical architecture. Round the 
 turrets, and in parts of the parapets, are shields charged, in relievo, with 
 the arms of the Grosvenor family and alliances. The windows, rich in 
 tracery, are of cast iron, moulded on both sides, and grooved to receive 
 the glass. The walls, battlements, and pinnacles are of stone, of a light 
 and beautiful colom-. The entrance to the house is in the centre of the 
 west front, under a vaulted porch, which admits carriages to the steps 
 leading to the hall, a lofty chamber rising to the height of two stories, with 
 a groined ceiliug, embellished with armorial bearings, &c. in the bosses 
 that cover the position of the ribs. The pavement is of variegated marble. 
 The interior of this beautiful mansion is on a scale of grandeur, equalling 
 the external beauty of the building, while the magnificence of its furniture 
 and decorations almost defies description. The terraces, groves, gardens, 
 greenhouses, and the inlet of the Dee, forming a beautiful sheet of water, 
 with its pleasure-yachts, boats, &c., contribute to invest this splendid 
 property with a most imposing aspect. 
 
 envii'oned by a pubUc walk of two miles. The town consists principally of 
 four streets, which cross each other at right angles, and diverge to the 
 cardinal points, and are in the same manner intersected by uiferior ones. 
 Owing to the excavations in the rock that forms the streets, tlie houses 
 have low shops or warehouses on the level, and above them balustraded 
 galleries on each side, which make it appear to the stranger when walking 
 on them that he is up one flight of stairs. These excavations arc 
 unquestionably of Roman origin, statues, altars, and hypocausts haAiug 
 been frc(|ucntly discovered in the excavations for their original structure. 
 One of the principal and most interesting edifices of this remarkable city is

 the castle, which is said to owe its origin to William the Conqueror. It 
 stands at the south-west angle of the city walls. The upper ward, which 
 stands on the higher ground, underwent great rcpau-s towards the close of 
 the last century, and the lower ward was then demolished, and other 
 buildings erected on its site, consisting of an armory, barracks, court 
 house, county gaol, town hall, &c. Few stiiictures in England can compare 
 with them for dui-abihty aud elegance of style. Grosvenor Bridge, crossing 
 the Dee, is a stone stmcture of a single arch, 200 feet in span. The 
 cathechal, formerly the abbey cliurch of St. AVcrbnrgh, said to have been 
 founded in (360 by a king of the Mercians, is an irregular pile, but highly 
 ornamented, and contains numerous monuments of great historical interest. 
 The chapter house is a beautiful buddiug, in which are deposited the 
 i-emauis of Randlc, first Earl of Chester, aud several of his successors. 
 St. John's Church is abo well worthy of notice. It stands without the 
 walls, and was founded by King Etheh-cd in 6S9. The remains of St.

 setting the example to their more northern countrymen of the faithful and 
 noble character which they evinced in preserving the luifortunate Prince 
 Charles after the disi)ersion of his army at Cullodcn. The Miss Lanes

 The house is in the Elizabethan style of arehitectui-e, having been erected 
 dui-ing the reign of that Princess, the body being of brick, with groins and 
 dressings to the windows, and the large projections, &c. of stone. 
 The south front, which is in its original state, is a beautiful specimen of 
 the taste of the tune, and presents a striking and venerable appearance. 
 The north front, which was of more modem date, was pulled down by the 
 late Earl, and re-erected in the same style as the south, by which means 
 the unity of the building was preserved, and a noble suite of apartments 
 added to the mansion. The entrance porch and tower are richly orna- 
 mented with a carved balustrade rising from a base, witliin which is a 
 cupola. The balustrade is continued along the whole front.

 2 m. E. Stowe, a small and pleasant village situated ou the high-road 
 from Stafford to Uttoxeter. Adjoining to this parish is Chartley, 
 remarkable as having been for some time the residence of Mary Queen of 
 Scots during her detention as a prisoner by Elizabeth. The ancient 
 edifice was built round a court, and great part of it cmiously made of wood, 
 embattled at the top, and the sides carved. It was destroyed by fire in 
 17S1, so that little remains to mark its site but the moat by which it was 
 surrounded. Chartley Castle, Earl Eerrers. On the summit of an artificial 
 hUl stand the remains of the castle bmlt by Richard Blundeville, Earl of 
 Chester, in 1220. This fortress seems to have been very soon allowed to 
 fall to decay, as Leland mentions it as being ruiaous in his tune. Its present 
 remains consist chiefly of the fragments of two round towers, and part of a 
 waU twelve feet in thickness. The loop-holes are so constructed as to allow 
 arrows to be shot into the ditch exactly under the tower, or in a horizontal 
 direction. The keep appears to have been circular, and 50 feet in diameter, 
 a wall of brick having been raised on its foundations, and a summer-house 
 erected thereon, which has suffered considerably by time. In 1226 the 
 castle was besieged by Ecbnimd, Earl of Lancaster, who took it after a very 
 ^dgorous resistance.

 HiU was originally tunnelled through h\ the celebrated Brindley, about 
 seventy years ago, in the constniction of the Trent and Mersey Canal, 
 and proved a work of vast labom- and expense in consequence of 
 unforeseen difficulties that presented themselves. The length of BriucUey's 
 tunnel is 2,8S0 yards, or about a mile and thi-ee-quarters, and it is in 
 many places 60 or 70 yards below the surface. Being only 12 feet high 
 by 9 feet wide, it is so narrow that two boats cannot pass ; and as 
 there is no towing path, the vessels have to be " legged" along, while the 
 horses are sent over the hill to wait for their exit on the other side. 
 Originally the boats going from north to south, and from south to north, 
 used it alternately at stated hours ; but as the traffic increased, the delay 
 caused by this arrangement was felt to be a great inconvenience, to remedy 
 which another tunnel, running parallel with the former one, at the distance 
 of a few yards, but loftier, wider, and with a towing path, was constructed 
 at great cost in 1826.

 Mow Cop, a rauge of mountains separating Cheshii-e from Staffordshire. 
 One of the most peculiar features of this mountain is the Old IVIan of Mow, 
 au isolated rock near the summit, which from the railway bears a striking 
 resemblauce to a human head in distmct outline against the clear sky ; and 
 according as clouds cast theii- shadows or the sun sheds his beams upon it, 
 the spectator may imagine that some colossal being on the height is looking 
 down with either a frown or a smile. The highest point of Mow Cop is 
 1,091 feet. Mow Cop is a favoiuite resort of excm-sionists in suunner 
 months. No view can exceed that obtained from its smnmit : on one side 
 the eye roams over the rich plains of Cheshii-e, and catches a view of the 
 Welsh mountains ; on the other, the moor lands of Stafford and a distant 
 view of the whole district of the Potteries. 
 
 3 m. s.E. BiDDULPH. In this parish are some cui-ious remains of 
 antiquity. The principal among these are the Bridestones, consisting of 
 eight up'right freestones, two of which stand within a semicircle formed by 
 the other six. The exterior ones are placed at the distance of six feet from 
 each other. Some antiquarians suppose that the circle was formerly 
 complete, from the cncumstance of there bemg an appearauce of holes where 
 stones have stood in positions forming another semicircle continued from 
 the extreme points of the semicircle of stones. West from this spot may 
 be seen the pavement of a kind of artificial cave, composed of broken 
 fragments of stone, about two inches and a half thick ; under them, to the 
 depth of six inches, is laid a quantity of white stone pounded, the upper 
 surface being tinged with black, probably from the ashes falling through the 
 pavement, which" was covered with oak charcoal, and some small bits of 
 burnt bones. Two large unhewn freestones, about eighteen feet long and six 
 feet high, form the sides of this cave, which was likewise formerly separated 
 into two divisions by a stone five feet and a half high and six inches tliick, 
 having a circular hole cut through it about nineteen inches and a half in 
 diameter. The whole was covered with long luihewn flat freestones, since 
 taken away. The height from the pavement to this covering measui-ed five 
 feet ten inches. The entrance was filled up with stone and earth. At a 
 small distance from this cave were two others of similar construction, but 
 smaller and mthout any interior partition. These caves were covered with 
 a large heap of stones' about 120 feet in length and 12 in breadth. The 
 stones having been removed at different periods left the cells open for 
 examination.

 Manchester is a place of great antiquity, and is supposed to be bmlt 
 upon the site of the Roman station Mancunium, which spot had previously 
 been occupied by the Britons. It is a city, parliamentary, and municipal 
 borough, in the county of Lancaster, huudj-ed of Salford, situated on the 
 Irwell, communicating with the adjacent borough of Salford by means of 
 six bridges. Area of parish, including Salford, 34,260 a.; population in 
 1841, 290,367 for Manchester, and 66,284 for Salford; total, 356,651. 
 The two to\\nis extend about two miles from east to west, and about one 
 and three-quarters from north to south, covering an area of nearly 3,000 
 acres, and comprising about 800 streets, and 45,665 inhabited houses. 
 The Irwell is joined near the town by the rivers Irk and Medlock, the 
 waters of which are used to impel machinery. The city is irregularly 
 built, but the principal thoroughfares are good, and modern taste has 
 achieved vast improvements. Portland Place, Grosvenor Square, the 
 London, Oxford, and Chester Roads, Oldham and Great Ancoat Streets, 
 Mosley Street, Salford Crescent, Ardwick Green, &c., &c., are fine open 
 streets, containing handsome dwellings, and many of the pubUc buildings 
 are worthy of notice ; we may enumerate the exchange in tlie market-place, 
 a large semicircular structure, adorned with Doric columns ; the town hall, 
 of Ionic architecture, containing a splendid public room ; the corn exchange, 
 athenajum, union club house, assembly rooms, concert hall, the royal 
 infirmary and lunatic asylum, society's haU, royal institution, news room,

 Stockpobt. This tovra is irregularly built on steep banks on both 
 sides of the Mersey, and the streets are narrow and confined. It has a 
 to\ni hall, infirmary, news room, theatre, grammar and national schools, 
 and a handsome railway viaduct ; it has also many charitable institutions, 
 and places of worship for different sects of Dissenters. There are two 
 chui-ches, St. Mary and St. Peter, the former was erected in the 14th 
 century, although 'the steeple was rebuilt in the beginning of the 17th 
 century. The first mills for winding and throwing silk were erected in this 
 town, rad afterwards applied to cotton spinning. Cotton weaving and 
 printing, sUk and woollen ditto, and manufactures of machinery, brass and 
 iron goods, shuttles and brushes, are its chief branches of industry.

 worthy the attention of the traveller. The catliecb-al, formerly the 
 collegiate church, was founded in the 15th centuiw. It is a handsome 
 Gothic stmcture, adorned with beautiful scdptm-e, aud very curious 
 tabernacle work over the hall. There are fourteen other chiuxhes, besides 
 between forty aud fifty Roman Catholic and Dissenting chapels, most of 
 which have schools attached to them, which give instruction to nearly 
 50,000 childi-en. The grammar school, founded in 1520, has a revenue of 
 upwards of £1,500 per annimi, besides sixteen scholarships at Brazenose 
 CoUege, Oxford, aud several at Cambridge, with other privHeges for its 
 pupils at those Universities. The blue-coat school (Cheetham CoUege) has 
 eighty scholars, a museum, and a library of 25,000 volumes. ]\Ianchester 
 New'Colleo-e, removed from York in 1810, is the piincipal Umtarian college 
 in Eno-landt and is in connection with the London University. The royal 
 schoof of medicine, Lancashire independent college, the royal Lancastenan 
 and the jubilee schools, are the principal educational estabhshments. 
 Manchester possesses every description of Uterary and scientific institution, 
 and its charities are both liberal and nmnerous. It has a branch ot LuHaud 
 and five joint stock banks, and five weekly newsi^apers. The wonderiul 
 improvements in macliinerv, and the pubUc spirit and industry ot its 
 inhabitants, have combined to render it the focus of the cotton manufactures, 
 of which it mono]K.lises two-thirds of all that is produced m the empire.

 There are 186 cotton and silk mills and factories, employing 34,449 hands, and 
 the force used is nearly equal to 10,000 liorse power. Many other factories 
 exist at this wouderful commercial aud manulactm-ing town, such as for 
 woollen fabrics, hats, paper, pins, ropes, twine, chemical works ; bleaching 
 grounds, breweries, &c. The exports in 1835 were estimated at £12,000,000 ; 
 customs' revenue £187,922. Mancliester is governed by a mayor, recorder, 
 aldermen, and councillors, and the borough is divided into fifteen wards. It

 2 m. w. Croxden. The situation of this village, in a narrow but fertile 
 valley watered by the Peak, is very pleasant. The church is a small 
 decayed buildiug, with a wooden belfry and one beU. Croxden is remark- 
 able for the ruins of its once extensive abbev (founded by Bertram de 
 Verdon, in 1176, for monks of the Cistercian orcler). Tlie principal entrance 
 at the west end yet remains in good preservation, and consists of a 
 magnificent Gothic arch of famous workmanship, above which the abbey 
 wall rises to an altitude of 40 feet, covered with ivy, in which there is a 
 rookery. Various members of the Verdon family lie here, and the heart of 
 King John is also said to be interred here, his body at Worcester, and his 
 bowels at Croxton in Leicestersliire. The remains of this abbey are in a 
 valley, close to which there is a small rivulet which supplied a mill formerly 
 in the i)recincts. Besides the priucipal entrance at the west end, parts of 
 the cloister and transept yet remain. The whole is in a style of architecture 
 corresponding with the date of its foundation, the windows beuig lancet- 
 shaped and the capitals of the columns foUated. In the garden of one of 
 the farmhouses is stiU preserved a stone cross, about 3 feet in length, 
 ending in foliage at the points, and having a crucifix rudely sculptured on 
 one side and a Vu-gin, which is now scarcely distinguishable, on the other. 
 It was found near the east end of the chm-ch, and though the sculpture in 
 most places is nearly obliterated, yet traces of gQding were obsei'vable in 
 one or two places when it was first discovered. The permanency of this 
 kind of stone gilding is truly astonishing. The abbey at the dissolution 
 was valued at £90 5s. llcZ. per annum. Several cofiins, having no inscrip- 
 tions, have been dug up here. Croxden Abbey, Gervase Wood, Esq.; 
 Croxden House, Miss Robinson. 
 
 Alton, or Alveton, is a large and well-built village, standing upon very 
 mieven ground, surrounded by scenery of a very romantic character. The 
 Uttoxeter Canal nnis through the village, and turns a wire mill, which 
 affords employment to many of the inhabitants. On the summit of a rock, 
 300 feet above the river, are the ruins of Alton or Alveton Castle, which 
 in the reign of Henry II. belonged to the family of Anthony de Verdon : 
 it is now the property of the Earl of Shrewsbury. The tme date of the 
 foundation of Alveton Castle cannot be ascertained, but it is supposed 
 to have been built soon after the Conquest. Dr. Plott says : "That quickly 
 after the beginning of Edward II. Alveton Castle seems' to have been built 
 by Theobald de Verdon, as may be pretty plainly collected from the annals 
 of Croxden." The prodigious thickness of the walls show it to have been a 
 very extensive and stately edifice. Anthony Wall, in 1721, founded and 
 endowed a school for the education of twelve children. The schoolhouse 
 has recently been rebuilt at the expense of the Earl of Shrewsbmy.

 Edward Stuart, accompanied by the Dukes of Athlone and Perth, remained 
 for one night in the town, taking forcible possession of the manor house, 
 from which they expelled Sir B. Boothby aud family. On Sir Brooke's 
 return, he found the names of the officers written in chalk on the doors of 
 the apartments which they severally occupied. These inscriptions were 
 overlaid with white paint, and several of them are preserved, and the bed- 
 room in which the Pretender slept is stiU exhibited. The town is beautifully

 is owing to the taste and profuse expenditure lavished on its improvement 
 by the "late and the present noble owners. The form of the house is 
 irregular, having in the centre a gable, with a large pointed window, under 
 which is the principal entrance to the haU, the front extending on each 
 side by embattled towers. Of the interior of the edifice we can oiUy 
 observe that report assigns to it a magnificence almost -without paraUel, 
 whUe the gardens and pleasm-e-grounds are surpassingly lovely, the 
 conservatories are on a grand scale, and stand in conspicuous positions ; a 
 canal is crossed by an iron bridge, after the model of that of Southwark. It 
 is impossible to conceive more romantic and pictm-esque scenery than is to 
 be found in the grounds of this beautiful estate. The old castle of the 
 Talbots was destroyed duiing the civU wars of the 17tli centiuy. The 
 ruin stands on an aliuost perpencUcular natural rock at the foot of the river 
 Chumet, and forms a beautiful ornament to the deUghtfid vaUey in which 
 it is situated.

 cormuodiously arranged ; the hall is a noble apartment, and the Hbrary, 
 state bed-room, saloon, diiiing and drawing-rooms, are all of fine proportions. 
 The prospects from the castle are pleasing and extensive, the lake of 
 Basmere forming a very conspicuous object. The former mansion, called 
 Chohnoudeley Hall, was of the Elizabethan style ; in 16i3 it was 
 garrisoned for the King, aud was defended some time, but it at last fell to 
 the parliamentary forces from Nantwich. No part of the ancient building 
 remains, except the chapel, which has been restored and fitted up for Divine 
 service.

 importance a few years ago, owing to the establishment of ship-building 
 docks, which were commenced in 1844, and opened for the reception of 
 shipping in 1847. Independently of many handsome squares, streets, 
 churches, chapels, a market-house 430 feet lon^ and 130 feet broad, and 
 other pubUc buildings, Bii'keuhead has a pier, and a park of 120 acres ; and

 This is the most interesting work of the kind ever executed by the talent and 
 iugeiiiiity of man ; and, as ^Ir. Wishaw justly observes, " may be truly designated 
 the Grand l^ritish Experimental Railway." After great opposition, the Bill for the 
 construction of this railway received the royal assent on the 5th of May, 1826; and the 
 line was opened to the public on the 15th of September, 1S30. The difficulties the 
 Company had to contend with in tinmels, earthworks, cuttings, &c., as well as the very 
 interesting and im])ortant fact of its being a first attempt, must be taken into consi- 
 deration. At Liverjjool alone there are three tunnels — one descending to Wappiug, 
 two thousand two hundi'ed and sixteen yards in length, twenty -two feet wide, and sixteen 
 feet liigli ; the Crown Street Tunnel (which is on an ascent to CroM-n Street, the Wappiug 
 Tumiel passing under it), two hundred and ninety yards in length, sixteen feet nine 
 inclies wide, and twelve feet high ; and the Lime Street Tunnel, two thousand yards in 
 length. Of ])ridges, there are not less than thirty-six over the railway, and twenty -nine 
 imder, including the viaducts ; twenty-one level road crossings, and twenty-nine fiehl and 
 occupation crossings. Of the \aaducts, the principal is the Sankey Viaduct, which 
 consists of nine arches of fifty feet span, built of brick, with stone facings, &c. The 
 height from the siu-face of the Canal water to the level of the rails being sixty-seven feet. 
 The NcMi:on Viaduct consists of four arches of thirty feet span, and forty feet liigh. 
 
 The bridge over the river Irwell, at Manchester, is thirty-seven feet broad, has two 
 stone arches of sixty-five feet span each ; and the railway is here thirty feet above the 
 sui'face of the river.

 LniRPOOL, a parliamentary and municipal borough, in the hundred of 
 West Derby, county of Lancaster, is situated on the right bank of the Mersey 
 estuary, about four miles from the Irish Sea. The borough comprises parts 
 of the townships of Kirkdale, Everton, West Derby, and Toxtcth Park, 
 containing an area of 5,000 a., with a population of 358,665 in 1846, 
 wluch has no doubt considerably augmented since that period. The town 
 is irregularly built, although some of the streets are broad, handsome in 
 parts, and well paved ; those Avhich lead to the upper part of the town, a 
 steep accUvity, diverge from the level ground in a fan-like form, which 
 renders it extremely difficult for the stranger to find his way if he make but 
 one wrong turning. There arc many handsome squares, and open spaces, 
 magnificent shojis in Bold Street, &c., first-rate hotels, and a busy throng 
 from morning till night, all of whom seem deeply impressed with the impor- 
 tance of business, and absorbed in their commercial pursuits. In the back 
 streets of the lower, or business portion of the town, the underground 
 inliabilants, tenants of dungeon-like cellars, were most numerous, and the 
 bad odours arising from vast accumulations of filth, amongst the lowest 
 class of Irish, were truly disgustuig ; but, under a local act, obtained in 1846, 
 very active measures have been taken to remedy these evils. Of the town 
 in general little can ])e said of the architectural taste exhibited, but the 
 observation has no application to the jjublic buildings, all of which have 
 some pretensions to grandeur of design ; while one, not yet finished, is 
 iucomj)aral)ly superior in classic elegance to any modern erection in the 
 empire. This noble pile, St. George's Hall, "^ Assize Courts, &c., was 
 designed and executed by tlic late Harvey Lonsdale Ehnes, a young 
 architect, whose early death, before its entire completion, is deeply 
 regretted by all who appreciate genius and talent of the highest order ; and

 The locomotive engine stations arc at Edge Hill, Liverpool, and between Ordsell 
 Lane and Oldfield Road, Manchester. 
 
 The Liverjjool passenger station, in Lime Street, opposite St. George's Hall, one of 
 the noblest pieces of architecture in Britain, is a handsome stone building with two 
 gateways, for the entrance and departure of carriages and passengers. The booking- 
 otSces of the Company, as well as those of the Grand Jimetion, are contiguous to each 
 other on the left side of the railway ; while from the Haymarket there is a passage 
 leading to the first and second class bookiug-ofhecs of both companies. The cost of this 
 station is stated to have been £120,000. 
 
 The Edge Hill Station is situated at the upper end of the Lime Street Tunnel, and 
 extends a distance of about four hundi-ed and ninety feet beyond its mouth, the whole 
 •width being ninety-seven feet. The fixed engines which work the Liverpool incline by 
 means of an endless rope, occupy the buildings on either side of the line, which are of a 
 uniform elevation. The engines Avere erected by Messrs. Mather, Dixon and Co. ; and 
 the wheels for working the endless rope are arranged in vaults beneath the level of the 
 railway. The earthworks, in constructing which great difiiculties had to be overcome, 
 amount to 2,728,000 cubic yards, or nearly 90,000 cubic yards per mile. The Lime 
 Street Tmmel, two thousand yards in length, cost no less a sum than £160,000. Over 
 Chat Moss there is a very steep rise for a short distance ; but the line throughout may 
 be considered thii'd-class in point of gradients.

 win have the gratification to feel that this magnificent structure will remain 
 as a proud monument to perpetuate his fame to posterity. The town hall 
 and Exchange buUdings, with the statues of Nelson, Huskisson, and 
 Canning (the last by Chantry), the post office and custom house, banks and 
 insm-ance offices, some of the churches and chapels (of which there are 
 109 in all), the collegiate school, St. John's market, &e., &e., are beautiful 
 structiu-es ; but the pride and glory of Liverpool are her docks, which line 
 the shore for a distance of five miles, presenting a water area and quay 
 space of nearly 200 a., and upAvards of 14 miles in length of space round 
 them. The principal are the Brunswick, Queen's, King's, Albert, Salthouse, 
 Canning, George's, Prince's, Waterloo, Victoria, Trafalgar, Clarence, Nelson, 
 Brambymoore, Salisbmy, CoUingwood and Stanley. The three last are 
 connected with the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, and most of the others have 
 half tide locks and wet basins. Notwithstanding this enormous accommo- 
 dation an extension of the Une of docks was necessary, and is now in 
 progress of formation, for one mile and a half to the north towards Bootlc. 
 The number of ships that entered the port in 1849 was 20,733 ; tonnage, 
 3,639,146. Erom the railway station at Edge Hill there are three branches 
 tkrough tunnels (of the London and North- Western Railway), one to the 
 centre of Liverpool for o-cneral traffic, and one to the north and another to 
 the south docks, respectively, for goods. In Great Ploward Street, near 
 the docks, the East Lancashire, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and the Liver- 
 pool and Southport lines form a junction, and have a goods station, and in 
 Tithe-bar Street, near the Exchange, there is also a general station. 
 Liverpool contains almost every description of scholastic and charitable 
 institution, hospitals, infirmaries, &c., public baths, washhouses, eleven 
 banks, and fourteen newspapers published weekly. It has some extensive 
 sugar refineries, brass foundries, breweries, rope, glass, soda, and alkali

 works, manufactures of watches and jewellery, and ship building is carried 
 on to a great extent ; but it owes its prosperity and importance to its being 
 the great seat of foreign export and import trade, and the main outlet for 
 the manufactures of ^laucliester, West Yorksliire, Staifordshii-e, aud the 
 principal part of tlic trade of England with America, Ireland, &c. Nearly 
 all the raw cotton imported into Britain is brought to Liveiiiool. We 
 cannot enter into statistical accounts, but to show the importance of this 
 
 Dovecot House. 1^ m. n. West Derby. At the period of the Norman 
 survey here was a Norman castle, which belonged to Edward the Confessor. 
 1 m. N.E. Croxtcth HaU, Earl of Seftou. The hail is a noble pile. The 
 west, or principal front, was built in 1702 by William Viscoimt Molyneux, 
 whose arms are over the entrance, in. the centre, supported by two lions. 
 Above this, in a large compartment, is a sculptm-cd trophy of banners, &c. 
 The front is of brick, but all its architectural decorations are of stone. 
 Before the house is a fine terrace, ascended by a double flight of steps. 
 The south side of the hall is more ancient, and is assigned to the time of 
 Queen Ehzabeth. The ])rincipal front was originally at the back of the 
 present house, as the buildings occupy three sides of a quadrangle, from 
 whence is an entrance leadiug to a large staircase, the windows of which 
 are still adorned with staiued glass, in eight compartments. 
 
 1^ m. N. Knowslcy Park, tlie Earl of Derby. The mansion is situated 
 on an elevated part of tlie park, and forms a conspicuous object for a 
 considerable distance on the west : on all other points it is environed by 
 thick and venerable woods. The edifice is built entirely of dark freestone, 
 and is embattled ; the basement is partly appropriated to the hovisehold, but 
 the principal apartment is a spacious and elegant dining-room, greatly 
 admired. Over the entrance on the south side, Mr. Poster of Liverpool, 
 the arcliitect, judiciously inserted a fragment of the old mansion, which is 
 scidptured with t-«-o of the family badges. The west front is a vast range 
 of building, disposed iu three divisions of equal height, with the principal 
 entrance in tlie centre, the whole surmounted by balustrades and seroU 
 ornaments. On the north side are the stables, &c. Before the south front is a 
 fine piece of water ; and the park, which is pleasingly varied in its surface, 
 and adorned with a profusion of fine old timber and numerous plantations, 
 is the largest in the whole comity, being nearly six miles in ch-cumference, 
 in the centre of which is a lake half a mile long. The apartments of the 
 mansion are not oidy numerous, but of fine proportions ; and few of the 
 nobility of England — if any — possess a more interesting collection of 
 famUy portraits than the Earl of Derby, as they represent great historical 
 characters eminent for their loyalty and bravery.

 great town we may mention that in 1846 the customs revenue of Liverpool 
 doubled that of London, being £3,622,050. The corporation estate is 
 estimated at £4,000,000, and its debt at £550,000. Liverpool has quarter 
 and petty sessions, comis of record and request, and is the scat of assizes 
 for the hundi-ed of West Derby. Its port jurisdiction comprises the whole 
 estuary of the Mersey. It sends two members to Parliament ; registered 
 electors (1848), 15,559. 
 
 Olive Mount, li m. s. Allehton. A little further, Woolton Hall, 
 Nicholas Ashton, Esq., a stone building of considerable antiquity, stands on 
 a deliglitful eminence. The carriage front is of comparatively modern 
 erection, having been rebuilt in 1780, from a design by Mr. Robert Adam. 
 The rooms are well proportioned, and commodious ; the grounds are laid out 
 with taste, and are justly celebrated for the numerous and beautifvd 
 prospects they display and command. Allerton Hall, J. Maxey, Esq., is 
 a very handsome structure, built of red freestone, and presents a frontage 
 of about 120 feet; the centre is ornamented with fom- Ionic pilasters, 
 supporting a pediment, and restmg upon a rustic basement. The old liall, 
 built in the reign of James I., was demolished by Mr. Rouse, the historian, 
 some years ago. 1^ m. further, Speke Hall, Richard Watt, Esq.

 about thirty years ago. Upon an embattled tower, at the base of which is 
 an arch — probably the original entrance, but now closed up — is a large 
 ornamental tablet, with two oval sliields, bearing the arms of Ireland, and 
 an inscription, statmg that it was biult by Sir Gill)ert Ireland aud his wife 
 in 1674. The south front was erected by Mr. Blackburne, mider the 
 direction of IVIr. Nash, the architect. The lord of tlie manor of Hale is 
 entitled to a customary duty upon all ships that anchor upon the nortJi 
 shore of the estuary of the Mersey within this district, and to a tithe of the

 Ormskirk is a well-built town, with a spacious chmxh, town hall, 
 gi-ammar school, almshouses, aud charities producing a revenue of about 
 £iOO per annum. Its manufactures are cottons, silks, and hats. There

 Hall, Charles Scarisbrick, Esq. The HaU is situated in the parish of 
 Halstall, near which is that reclaimed land called Martin Mere. This 
 mere was formerly a large pool, or lake of water, of an ii-regular form, 
 sm-rounded chiefly by mosses or boggy land, containing about 3,622 acres. 
 To di'ain this stagnant pool an attempt was made as early as the year 1692. 
 A canal was then cut from the mere to the sea, and considerable sums of 
 money expended in constructing banks, flood-gates, &c. ; this, however, 
 failed in the object intended. Undismayed by the event, another eSbrt was 
 soon afterwards made. The jjlan then adopted was to have in the main 
 sluice three different pairs of flood-gates : the first to keep out the sea ; the 
 second, at half a mile distance, near the mere, to stop the sea in case any 
 accident should happen to the fii'st ; and the third built close to, and in the 
 same walls with the sea-gates, but to open and shut in a contrary direction. 
 All these gates are kept open when the tide has suiSciently retii'cd, and 
 when the water rises above the level of the mere the sea-gates are shut.

 172-5, and consists of a grand central building, with two wings, projecting 
 at right angles on the north or principal front, and united to the main 
 edifice by a curved Ionic colonnade, and at their extreme points by means of 
 a low parapet waU, divided bv piers at regular distances, enclosing a court 
 or lawn, diversified with beis of flowers ; the wall and carriage entrance 
 through iron palisades being an alteration from the original design. The 
 park, about four miles in circumference, is well wooded and abundantly 
 stocked with deer, and has beautiful prospects of Preston, the mountains that 
 divide Yorkshire and Lancashii-e, and those of Cumberland and West-

 earth appears to have undergone a violeut disruption, in consequence of 
 which the edges of the beds of muierals are thrown up into the ak- and 
 downward towards the centre of the earth ; and immediately to the north 
 appears a sm-face of lunestone, ^vith its concomitant systems of plants and 
 minerals, which, had the strata to the south mauitained their uatm-al 
 position, must have lain at a vast depth beneath. The effect of this 
 convulsion is felt over a tract of forty miles to the north, scarcely a seam of 
 coal being found nearer than Buitou-on-Lonsdale. The HiU of Pendle 
 makes a conspicuous figure on the south side of the plaia ; the sides are 
 verdant, and the top moorish and very extensive. On this stood Mai kin 
 Tower, celebrated in 1633 for being the rendezvous of witches. Seventeen 
 poor wi-etches were condemned on perjured evidence. When the affair was 
 scrutinized into, the convicts were set at liberty.

 Cuthbert. The church was built in the form of a cross : in the middle was 
 the steeple, which does not apjicar to have been ever finislied ; on the north 
 side of the choir the family of Clapham liad a vault. The cloistcrs,_ &c., were 
 on the south side of the chui-ch. Very little now remains of the ancient build- 
 ings, and the steeple at the west end of the church is a late erection. The 
 few remaining fragments, however, of this venerable pile, with the romantic 
 scenery around, have a most picturesque and interesting appearance. The 
 annual revenue of this house at the dissolution amounted to filll; 17*'. id.

 for the promotion of religion and learning among the poor. Bolton had been 
 celebrated for its wooUen factories for some centuries, they having been intro- 
 duced there by the Elemmgs in 1337 ; but it is to Arkwright and Crompton,

 delineations of nature, which appeals like nature herself to your holiest 
 sympathies. " Apollo and the Seasons," by Wilson, one of the choicest 
 specimens of British art, which is considered by the best judges to be the 
 chpf-d' (Buvre of the EngUsh Claude, on entering the room is innnediately 
 before you. Beautiful it is, indeed, both in design and execution — a never- 
 ending sunshine illumines the canvas — a realisation of summer when 
 sunmier is gone . it is impossible long to contemplate this beau-ideal of the 
 painter's art without being absorbed in the division, or without sympathising 
 with its expression. The two last we shall notice, although many works, 
 each superior of its kind, invite attention, are " Dionysius the Areopagite," 
 and " Mrs. Hartley with her Child as a Bacchante," by Sir Joshua Reynolds. 
 The former is a Rcndjraudt-lookiug head, of most magical conception, and 
 high finish ; the latter is considered one of the happiest efforts of the great 
 master ; both are well known wherever art has been cultivated, and confirm 
 the ennobling effect of its presence. This pictiu-e derives its extrinsic 
 interest from the reflection, that the mother there portrayed with all the 
 emotions which characteiise and compose a mother's love (which love is 
 stronger than death), and the babe here exhibited in the perfection of 
 infantde joyousness, together closed their eyes during the exciting circum- 
 stances which accompany a violent death ! Look at them there in the 
 reciprocal exchange of dependence on one hand, of devotion upon the 
 other ; then imagme them bouud together by the mother's own hand, and 
 cold in death, cast upon a foreign shore, and l)elieve that the feelings there 
 portrayed are no picture of the painter's, and be convinced that the highest 
 effort of genius derives its inspiration from nature — its success from tmth 
 in her characters.

 AsHTON-rxDEB-LiXE, a parliamentary borough and town, in the county

 46,304; population of borough, 22,514. It sends one member to Parlia- 
 ment ; registered electors (1846), 871. Ashton was formerly a rauuicipality; 
 its govei-mnent is now exercised by the comity magistrates, who hold 
 weekly sessions here. It is a manufacturing town, ill-built, with a spacious 
 chnrcli of the time of Hem-y V. The family of Asshetou settled here at 
 an early period and are said to have possessed pecidiar privileges and 
 powers "in this manor, among which was that of life and death over their 
 tenantry. In commemoration of this privilege, and its ha\-ing been 
 sometimes exercised, a field near the old hall is still called Gallows 
 Meadow. An old building here also retauis the name of the Dungeons. 
 In the reign of Henry VI., a descendant of that family still iiiheriting 
 extraordinary privileges, clad in black armoui- and momited on a charger, 
 with a numerous retinue, levied a penalty on his tenants for neglecting to 
 clear their lands from a pernicious weed called Can- yuJdi. In comme- 
 moration of this the ceremony of riding the black lad is celebrated eveiy 
 Easter Monday, when an efiigy in the human form, stufi'ed with straw, 
 clad in black armour, is paraded on horseback through the streets. 
 Aftei-wards it is hung up at the cross in the market place and there shot 
 at, and subsequently immersed in a stagnant pool. Tiie market house, 
 lately erected at an expense of £10,000, is a fine building ; it has schools, 
 charities, assembly rooms, theatre, and mechanics' institute, -with several 
 Dissenting chapels. Coal is pleutifid, and canals from j\Ianchester, 
 Huddersfield, and Darlington meet in the parish. In 1838 it had 82 
 cotton mills employing 12,143 hands; also wooUen mills and a silk factory. 
 Gmgliams aud calicoes are the principal articles woven ; fine cotton yarns 
 are here spun, as also at Staleybridge, in this parish. Market, Satui'day;

 means of communication with Hull and Liverpool. It sends two members 
 to Parliament ; registered electors (ISiS), 1,014. Halifax is situated on a 
 declivity suiTounded by lofty heights, is generally biult of stone, and well 
 paved and lighted ; chief buildings, the Price Hall, a magidficent quadi-an- 
 gular stone bmlding, containing 315 ware-rooms for the sale of cloths ; the 
 parish church, a splendid edifice of the 15th centui-y, with about 11 other 
 chapels and churches subordinate to it. Here are also many Dissenting 
 chapels, aud numerous well-endowed schools ; a blue-coat hospital, founded 
 1642 ; a gaol, belonging to the Duke of Leeds, as lord of the manor ; a fine 
 modem infirmaiy, a theatre, assembly rooms ; literary society's hall, with 
 library and museum ; mechanics' iastitute, library, pubUc baths, and several 
 baidvs. Woollen mauufactm-es were introduced here in the 15th century, 
 coal and water being abundant, which have increased wonderfully since the 
 introduction of steam. Shalloons, camlets, figured coatings, bombazeens, 
 russets, serges, crapes, broad and narrow cloths, kersey, silks and cottons, 
 &c., are its principal manufactui-es. Li 1S3S the parish contained SO worsted, 
 71 cotton, 7 snk, and 63 woollen mills, employing 13,579 hands, itulepen- 
 dently of the home weavers. The goods are generally sold unfinished to 
 the merchants in the Price Hall, on market day. Halifax comprises 19 
 townships, and is governed by the county magistrates, who hold petty 
 sessions weekly. Until tlie middle of the 17th centmy, Halifax exercised 
 the power of jurisdiction in capital cases ; aud at Gibbet HUl, outside the 
 town, those convicted of theft to the amount of IS^d. were executed by a 
 machine similar to the guillotine used in Prance. Archbishop Tillotson

 registered electors, 665. This place, which appears to have risen fi"om the 
 ancient Legislum, a Roman station in the vicinity, now Castleford, was by 
 the Saxons called Kirkley, and after the Conquest obtained the name of 
 Pontefract. Alaric, a Saxon chief, erected a castle here which, having 
 been demolished, was rebuilt in the time of "WilUam the Conqueror. In 
 the reign of Edward EL. it endured a protracted seige. John of Gaunt, 
 temp. Edward III., retired to this castle, and fortified it against Richard II. ; 
 but a reconciliation taking place no further hostilities ensued. Richard II., 
 after his defeat by Boliugbroke, afterwards Henry IV., was imprisoned and 
 inhumanly put to death here. Scroop, Archbishop of York, was also 
 imprisoned and executed here ; and after the battle of Agincourt the Duke 
 of Orleans and several of the French noblemen of the highest rank, who 
 had been taken prisoners, were confined in the castle. In the wars of the 
 Roses, in the rebellion called the Pilgrimage of Grace, and in the Parlia- 
 mentary war, many stii-ring scenes took place at the castle. It was 
 invested by Cromwell in person ; but it was not tiU after the execution of 
 the King that it surrendered. A small circular tower on the summit of an

 The place where he fell was enclosed with a wall, and on it was erected a 
 cross of stone, which was demolished in the civil wars between Cliarles I. 
 and his Parliament. Richard III. is said to have resided in Sandal Castle 
 after his accession to the throne. At present scarcely anything of it

 isolated rock is all that now remains. The chantry, or Church of St. 
 Thomas, was erected on the very spot where Thomas Earl of Lancaster was 
 beheaded in the reign of Edward H., a.d. 1322. No part of the structm-e 
 now remains, but the site may yet be distinguished in a close, through 
 which the foot-path leads to Frystone-on-the-Hill, which still bears the 
 name of the saiut, and -nill probably transmit it to the latest posterity. The 
 chief religious house was the Priory of St. John, of which nothing uow 
 remains to convey an idea of the extent or maguiflceuee of the structure. 
 The plot of ground now called Monk Hill indicates the site. This monastery 
 was founded by Robert de Lacy in 1090. The monks were of the Benedictine 
 order. The Dominicans, or Black Friars, had a liouse here nearly in tlie 
 centre of the garden, called Eriars Wood. In this convent Roger de 
 Mowbray was interred. There was also a house of Carmelites, but no 
 vestige of it at present remains. The Austin Eriars had also a house in 
 this town. The to^Ti of Poutefract, crowning a beautiful eminence, is 
 approached on every side by a considerable ascent. The houses are hand- 
 some, almost all being built of brick, and the streets are open, spacious, 
 and clean.

 caUed Castleburg, Counter HUl, and Woofa Bank. By an inscription on a 
 stone dug up near the church it appears to have been rebuilt by Vms Lupus, 
 pro-prcetor in Britain, in the reign of Severus ; and that the second cohort 
 of the Luigones was stationed here is attested by an altar with an inscrip- 
 tion to Verbeia, the goddess or nymph of the Wharf, near the south bank of 
 wliich the town is situated. The place is much frequented ui summer for 
 the sake of its excellent cold bath. The church is dedicated to All Samts, 
 and in the churchyard are three Saxon crosses. Near wliich, crossmg the 
 Otley and Skipton Road, Denton Park, the seat of Sir Charles Henry 
 Ibbetson, Bart., was buHt from the design of Nolar, the celebrated architect 
 of York, for Sii- James Ibbetson, the ancestor of the present owner, on the 
 site of Denton Castle, the original fabric, a magnificent building, destroyed 
 by fire towards the end of the 17th ceutui-y, once the seat of the great 
 parliamentary General, Lord Eaii'fax, from whom Sir Charles Ibbetson is 
 lineaUy descended. The present elegant mansion, built of the finest stone, 
 quarried on the estate, is a noble structui-e. The front, uicluding the wings, 
 which contain the offices, being 280 feet in length, exclusive ol the stables, 
 which are detached from the house. The entrance hall is 30 feet by IS feet, 
 and contains many fine prints, and a well-chosen collection of books, about 
 1,200 volumes. On the left is a di-awing-room 33 feet by 22 feet, hung with 
 paintings ; on the right a dining-room, 33 feet by 22 feet, hung also with 
 pictures, through which is a bilUard-room, 32 feet by 20 feet, and the other 
 rooms are in the same proportion. The principal suite are all 17 feet high. 
 It is situated in the centre of a beautiful and finely timbered park ot 250 
 acres, on the north bank of the Wharf, at the distance of nearly 6 miles 
 north-west from Otley. The situation affording most agreeable views ol the 
 fertile and beautiful vale through which the Wharf wmds its course, contri- 
 butes to render it a charming residence.

 PENISTONE TO HUDDERSFIELD. 
 
 Hull, or Kingston-upon-Hull, a desiguation granted to it by King 
 Edward I., was of considerable importance under the name of Myton-Wyk 
 as early as the time of King Athelstan; yet notwithstanding the royal 
 favours conferred upon it, it was the first to close its gates against 
 Charles I., and in 16i2 and 1643 successfully resisted two sieges of the 
 royal army. It is a parliamentary and municipal borough, river-port, and 
 a town, returning two members to Parliament ; registered electors (1848), 
 5,063. 1,151 British ships entered the port of Hull in 1845, and as a 
 proof of the immense importance of its commercial transactions, it appears 
 that the total value of British and Irish produce exported from Hull in the 
 same year amounted to £10,798,338. It is generally well built, has many 
 handsome streets, particularly in Sculcoates and the west end of the town, 
 has a fine market place, in the centre of which is the beautiful chm'ch of 
 the Holy Trinity, a cruciform biulduig, 272 feet in length, considered one 
 of the best specimens of Gothic architectiu'C in the kingdom, the internal 
 decorations of wliich are extremely rich and the monuments numerous ; a 
 market house, and a gilt equestrian statue of William III. The docks, 
 always crowded with shipping and constructed since 1775, independently 
 of the basin between two of the piers on the Humber, present an 
 aggregate length of 1,087 yards, the breadth diiferiag from 250 to 400 feet.

 head of one of the docks is a fine coliunn with a colossal statue of 
 Wilberforce. Hull contains ten other chui'ches besides the Holy Trinity, 
 and numerous Dissenting places of worshi]), a synagogue, and a floating 
 chapel for mariners. The most important public buildings are the exchange, 
 custom house, pilot, dock, stamp, and excise offices, mansion house, two 
 theatres, colleges, concert hall, iniirmary, gaol, baths and washhouses, the 
 Selby Railway Terminus, and the splendid hotel adjoining it. The Trinity

 some interesting historical portraits, a museum, a school for boys for the 
 merchant service, and dwellings for the pensioners. Annual revenue of 
 this noble charity in 1833, £13,302. The fortifications which were

 other places of worship ; a com-t house, and gaol, formed out of a portion

 conquest, and was for some time the prison of Richard II., but holding out 
 bravely against the parliamentary troops in the civil wars of the 17th 
 century, it was subsequently dismantled by order of Parliament, and has 
 fallen into ruins. It is, however, a splendid specimen of a baronial castle, 
 while its massive walls and frowning towers give the best idea of its pristine 
 strength and importance. At a short distance from the town are the ruins

 Well ; it rises at the base of a limestone rock, and after rmming about 
 20 yards towards the river, flows over the top of another rock, and falls 
 down in numerous places with a tinkling sound. Many interesting and 
 extraordinary specimens of the wonderful petrifying quality of this water

 Tadcaster, a market-town and parish, situated on both sides of the 
 river Wharf, is neatly built, and has a church with a fine tower. A bridge 
 of nine arches crosses the Wharf : it is one of the handsomest in the county, 
 built from the nuns of a castle which formerly stood on the south side of tiie 
 river. Tadcaster is supposed to occupy the site of a Roman station, one 
 of the outposts of York, their chief military station. Many coins of the 
 Roman emperors have been here found, and the Itinerary of Antoninus 
 seems to mark it as the exact spot which the Romans called Calcaria. 
 Independently of the military operations carried on here during the civil 
 wars of the 17th century, traces of which are still visible, it was in the

 of St. Cloud. This estate was a grant from William aud Mary to the first 
 Lord Bingley, ancestor of the present possessor, and was the first enclosure 
 on Braraham Moor. On that part of the Moor that lies to the south-west of 
 the park are remains of the old Roman road. In 140S a battle was fought 
 on this Moor between the jjosse comitatus of Yorkshire, commanded by Sir 
 Thomas Rokeby, the sheriff, and the rebels under Percy, Earl of Northum- 
 berland, when the latter was slain, and Lord Bardolf, his second in com- 
 mand, so severely wounded that he died shortly after.

 neighboiirliood of this town, at Towton Keld, that the bloody and memorable 
 battle was fought, on Palm Sunday, in 1461. Henry's army consisted of 
 60,000 men, commanded by the Duke of Somerset, that of Edward to 
 48,660, led by^ himself in person. The aii- at the time was darkened by 
 snow, which fell so tliick that the rival forces could not see themselves but 
 at a short distance apart, they therefore laid down then- bows and ap- 
 proaching each other began a furious hand to hand fight ; the battle lasted 
 from morning to night, and hence it may be judged how obstinate it was 
 fought on both sides, and terminated at length in Edward's favom-. 
 Historians affirm that no less then 36,776 men were killed in the battle.

 Pickering, a market-town and an extensive and a straggling parish, is of 
 considerable antiquity, beautifully situated on an eminence, and contains a 
 spacious old church, and the interesting remains of the castle in which 
 Richard II. was imprisoned before he was removed to Pontefract, and which 
 also sustamed a siege in favour of royalty in the unhappy struggle between 
 Charles I. and the Parliamentarians. This venerable castle is situated on 
 the brow of a hill at tlie western point of the town, and commands a fine 
 view over the Vale of Pickering, celebrated for its luxuriance and fertility. 
 The castle was of an ii-regular form ; in the first court were four towers, one 
 called Rosamond's Tower ; in the inner court were three towers besides the 
 keep, which stood on a circular mount, near a deep ditch. It is now a 
 shapeless mass and heap of ruins. Pickering Hall, Mrs. Dowker.

 export trade, especially in alum, manufactured in the neighbourhood. In 
 1540 Whitby was but a poor fishing town, containing about forty 
 houses ; but when the alum works were erected at Land's End, in 
 the vicinity of the town, the importation of coal for the works, and 
 the exportation of their produce led to ship-builcUng on an exte^^sive 
 scale. Ever since the town has continued to increase in prosperity 
 and importance. TMiitby owes its origin to the famous abbey of 
 St. Hilda, founded by Os^vy, King of Nortliumbcrland, in the 7th 
 century. Its venerable rains occupy a commanding situation on 
 a high cliff on the east side of the town, near to which stands tlie 
 ancient parish church, which is approached from the town by 190 stone

 The length of this branch is five miles and three-quarters. It forms a junction with

 Leaving the parent line it takes a westerly dii-ection across Pill Moor, an extensive

 the level, and then proceeds in a straight line towards Brafferton, where there is an 
 ample and elegant station. Passing this station a cutting is entered, in length 
 about one-third of a mile, through a loose sand and gravel strata, the extreme depth 
 being thirty-six feet. The high road from Brafferton to Thornton Bridge is carried over 
 the railway in this cutting by a handsome viaduct of three arches. On emerging from 
 the cutting a very beautiful country opens out to the view, the line immediately

 bridge of three arches, each of fifty feet span. This is a skew bridge, at an angle of

 The principal buildings are its church, a market cross on fluted Doric 
 columns, and some branch banks. Before the Reform Act it sent two 
 members to Parliament. Its principal trade Lies in hardwares. This was 
 anciently a celebrated Druidical meeting place ; and as many Roman 
 antiquities have been discovered here, it is supposed that the three 
 curious obelisks, eaUed the "Arrows," which stand about half a mile 
 distant from the town are of Roman oi'igin. Originally there were four, 
 but one was destroyed some centuries back. Races are held here 
 annually. Market, Saturday. Within a mile and a half to the east of 
 Boroughbrid^^c is Aldborough, or Aldbtjrgu, the Isnrium Brigantum of the 
 Romans, and the Isure of the ancient Britons. Before the building of 
 York, it was the capital of the Brigantiues, and the ground about is full of 
 ancient vestiges, such as Romau coins of gold, silver and brass urns, 
 lachrymatories, tesselated pavements, little polished signet-stones, sacrificing 
 vessels, mill-stones, and bases of pillars. But this ground has been 
 considerably rifled of such precious remains, and the greatest curiosities 
 to be seen tliere now are the tesselated pavements. There is a tradition 
 that the place was burned down by the Danes, and the many charred 
 skeletons both of men and animals, that were to be seen in the time of 
 Camden, render such a story higldy jn'obable. 1^ m. Boroughbridge Hall.

 and proceeding perfectly straight it traverses a fertile and luxuriant country.^ After 
 crossino- the highway from Kirby Hill to Myton, the line then takes a curve, of three- 
 quarters of a mile radius, to the south, and then proceeds straight for about four 
 hundred yards, passing Llilby on the right, with the truly historical town of Aldborougli 
 on the left. Then taking a curve, of tlrree-fourths of a mile radius, to the north, it 
 terminates in a straight run of about three hundred yards to the Boroughbridge Station. 
 Excepting the Brafferton Cutting and the works at and in connection with the Swale 
 Brido-e, the entire line is nearly on the level, and has been of most easy construction. 
 It opens out a connection with a very important agricultural district, of which the 
 ancient town of Boroughbridge is in the centre.

 This magnificent baronial residence is situated on the east side of an 
 extensive park, and occupies a fine position on a rising ground, with a 
 rocky foundation, and is surrounded by an embrasured wall and parapet, 
 (mclosing two acres of land. The out^^■ard area of this nol)le castle has 
 but one entrance, on the south side, Ijy a gateway, defended by two square 
 towers, and flanked by a i)ara])et with tui-rets. The inner area has two 
 entrances, one modern, o])ciied by the late Earl of Darlington, the other 
 ancient, being the original grand entrance to the castle. This noble pile is 
 indebted for its splendour principally to John de Neville, Earl of West- 
 moreland, who, in 1379, obtained a licence to make a castle of his manor of 
 Raby, and to embattle and crenellate its towers ; some parts, however, are 
 of infinitely more ancient date, while alterations have been effected at 
 different epochs by its subsequent possessors. Tlu; park, pleasure-grounds, 
 aud ])lantations accord with the dignity and magnitude of the castle. One 
 of the terraces is upwards of 750 yards in length, while the views over a 
 diversified tract of country, the venerable woods, and the highly jiicturesque 
 situations which surrountl it, surpass description. Historians are doubtful 
 as to the period at wliich this noble castle was fomided, for although

 Bishop Auckland, a market-town, in tliat part of the chapelry of St. 
 Andrew Auckland, which is in the north-west division of Darlington 
 Ward, in the county palatine of Dui-ham, and an ancient borough by 
 prescription. It is delightfully situated on an eminence, bounded on the 
 north by the river Wear and on the south-east by the river Gainless, which 
 flows into the Wear a little above the tovrii. The ground on which it 
 stands is nearly 140 feet above the level of the plain below, the descent on 
 each side is partly formed into hanging gardens, and the Imilchugs occupy 
 the brow and remaining portion of the declivity. This place derives its 
 name fronr the great number of oak-trees which formerly grew in the 
 neighboui'hood, and its adjunct from an episcopal palace in which the 
 Bishops of the diocese, who arc lords of the manor, occasionally reside. 
 The first prelate who chose it for a residence was Bishop Beck, and to this 
 perhaps is to be ascribed the present importance of the town. The 
 district is remarkably fertile. The streets of the town are badly built ; 
 the air is very salubrious, and the inhabitants are plentifully supplied with 
 water. The prmcipal manufactures are those ot muslins, cottons, and 
 cahcoes. The town is within the jm-isdiction of the county magistrates, 
 who hold petty sessions monthly, and courts leet and baron are held 
 annually, at the former of which a bailiff and other officers are appointed. 
 
 Bishop Auckland, the palace of the Bishops of Durham. The castle 
 covers about five acres, and stands on an eminence between two rivers. 
 The edifice having been erected at different periods, the whole is an 
 irregular pile, but it is nevertheless a noble structm-e. The old castle was 
 nearly destroyed by Sir Arthur Haselrigge during the civil wars of the 17th 
 century, upon whom the Parliament bestowed the place, and he erected a 
 magnificent house with the materials. Upon the Restoration Bishop 
 Cosins pulled it down, and restored the materials to their ancient use. 
 The entrance gateway and screen, exteudmg 310 feet, were designed by 
 James Wyatt. They 'lead to a Gotliic porch and vestibule, which conducts 
 on the riAt to the chapel, a building of great beauty, the roof of which is

 Hartlepool. This ancient town originally belonged to the Braces of 
 Scotland, who lost their English possessions on their accession to the throne 
 of that kingdom. The town is surrounded on all sides but the west by the 
 North Sea, and contains many handsome modem houses, built for the 
 accommodation of sea-bathing visitors. The principal buUcUngs are, the 
 church, an irregular building of different styles of architecture, and of 
 various periods, with an ancient nave and tower, containing some interesting 
 but much mutilated monuments ; at a short distance from wliich are the 
 remains of the Grey Eriars' monastery, founded in the 13th century ; a town 
 hall, a free school, and other charities, several branch banks, some remains 
 of the fortifications of the feudal ages, consisting of a long extended wall.

 is covered by the sea every tide. The harbour contains one of tlie largest 
 docks in England, defended by two strong batteries, with a depth of from 
 20 to 2.5 feet of water. The trade of Hartlepool, which was very con- 
 siderable in early times, owiug to the formation of railways connected ■with 
 the new coal mines of Durham, has lately increased. The scenery is very

 any detail of its construction — interesting only to a professional and scientific mind — the 
 reader may conceive some idea of the grandevu* of this structure. The Wellington Dean 
 Viaduct is of similar construction, but one thousand and fifty feet in lengtli, and 
 eighty -two feet in height, with seven wooden arches, each of one hundred and twenty feet 
 span. The laminated wood bridges on this line, from the design of Mr. Green, the 
 architect of the Company, are greatly admired. There is but one tunnel on the hue, at 
 the distance of a quarter of a mile from Newcastle, about one hundred and tlu-ee yards

 every side except the west with wild and craggy heights, that are almost 
 impassable. The length of tliis lake is about two miles and a half, and its 
 breadth in the widest part about thi-ee-quarters of a mile ; its east side is 
 bespangled with small farms, but on the whole the scenery is nielaucholy, 
 and the mind is apt to be depressed with the view of human habitations 
 secluded and shut out for many mouths from the comforting rays of the sim. 
 
 St. Bees is a village of great antiquity, and is situated on the side of 
 the bay formed by the south headland. St. Bega here founded a monastery, 
 A.D. 650, whicli was destroyed by the Danes, and rebuilt in the l_3th 
 century. The east part of this building was fitted up as a theological 
 college in 1817. It is under the maucOgemeut of a corporation of seven 
 governors, and has fellowships and exhibitions in Oxford University. 
 
 Whitehaven. The town is situated on a creek of the Irisli Sea, and 
 consists of several spacious and well-built streets. The ground on three 
 approaches to it rises abruptly and precipitately, and the entrance from the 
 north is under a fine arch ol red sandstone. The harbour- is capable of 
 sheltering several hundred sail of vessels, and a watchhouse and lighthouse 
 have been built on the pier called the Old Quay. Several stone piers 
 extend, some in a diverging, and some in a parallel direction, into the 
 harboui-, on one of which is a battery. It is a place of considerable trade, 
 of which coal forms the chief article, but lime, freestone, alabaster, and 
 grain are exported extensively. Dean Swift, when a child, resided with his 
 attendant in a house in Kop'er Street during the disturbances in Ireland, 
 about the time of the Revolution ; and Dr. Brownrigs, Aiithor of the 
 " Beauties of Keswick," for many years practised as a physician in this 
 town. 
 
 WoKKiNGTON. The town is irregularly built, the houses in the lower 
 part are old and mean, while those in the upper are well built and 
 commodious. The corn market is held in a square, the church and chapel 
 of ease are handsome edifices, and here are also sevei-al places of worship 
 for Dissenters, assembly and news rooms, and a small theatre. It has a 
 good harbour-, which lias been secured of late years by the erection of a 
 breakwater, and is now one of the safest on the coast ; tlie lantern is 
 Lighted with gas. Great improvement has also been effected by enlarging 
 the quays, owing to the exertions of the late Mr. Curwen. There is a 
 manufactory for imitation Leghorn hats, giving employment to several 
 hundred men, women, and children, the manufacturer having a patent for 
 the invention. 
 
 Makypoht. The town, which is well built, contains sliip-building yards, 
 manufactures of cottons, and has extensive exports of coal to Scotland and 
 Ireland. At low water the harbour is dry. Netherhall, Jos. P. Senhouse,

 2 m. E. Egkemont. This place is of great antiquity, and the neighbour-

 exhibit antiquity and strength; they consist chiefly of the vaulted gateway 
 and entrance portions of the outer wall, the postern and tlu'ce gateways, 
 which are of later date. Gillfoot, Thomas Hartley, Esq. 2 m. n. Keeble

 with the exception of its ancient tower, in 1711. The entrance tower of the 
 castle, erected immediately after the Conquest, and dismantled by order of 
 Parliament during the civU wars of the 17th century, contains the armorial 
 bearings of its different owners, and the remains attest its pristine strength 
 and importance. Cockermouth Hall, General "Wyndham. 1 m. N.w.

 An ancient buildiag, formerly the

 of Huntingdon, who records it as the place where the ancient Britons, assisted 
 by the Saxons, under Hengist, overthrew the Picts and Scots, who had 
 ravaged the country as far as this to'mi. It was one of the five cities into 
 which the Danes were distributed by Alfred the Great, when he allowed that 
 people to settle ui the kingdom. At the north-west of the town are the 
 remains of a castle that was fortified by Kiug Stephen dm-iug the war with 
 the Empress Matilda. The barons met here to concert those measui-es 
 which led to the signing of Magna Charter by Kiug John. The town 
 suffered much in the wars between the houses of York and Lancaster, a 
 great portion haviug been burnt in 1461, and it never afterwards reached 
 its former importance. Stamford returns two members to Parliament. A

 specimens of oak, ash, beech, and elm, and embellished with some spacious 
 sheets of water, and a beautiful cascade. In the beautiful parish church, 
 one of the finest Gothic structures of the kind in the county, are numerous

 Restoration it lay in ruins for some years, until Daniel Einch, Earl of 
 Nottingham, who had become the pui'diaser of the estate, rebuilt the 
 mansion in its present magnificent form. It stands in a spacious and well- 
 wooded park, possessing a great variety of most beautiful scenery. The 
 approach is through a thick shrubbery, where the whole of the north front 
 is suddenly displayed, presenting a noble centre building 196 feet in length,

 of single coliunns, 32 on each side. A large court is enclosed with iron

 town stands partly at the foot, and partly on the declivity of a rocky 
 eniineuce; some of the streets are naiTow, and the ancient houses are 
 objects of real curiosity, but modem improvements have rendered it great 
 ser\ace, and there are many very handsome biiildiugs. Nottingham and its 
 celebrated castle are associated with many important historical events. The 
 castle is supposed to have existed on the present site long before the Con- 
 quest, was rebuilt by William the Conqueror, and was nearly levelled to the 
 ground by Cromwell. Shortly after the Restoration it Mas reconstructed 
 by the Duke of Newcastle ; it was again destroyed by fire in 1S31, and 
 rebuilt by the late Duke. From this town Richard III. marched with his 
 troops to Bosworth field, and here several Parliaments were held in the

 which towers, turrets, and pointed windows, are almost as absurd as battle- 
 ments on a small cottage. The grounds are very extensive, and when 
 in good order have a fine effect, though they lie entii-ely on a flat. The new 
 gateway, and the lodge near it, together with the bridge, all assimilate well

 Lincoln. This venerable city, parliamentary, and municipal borough 
 and comity of itself, is situated on the river Witham, over which it has 
 three bridges. The city stands in a beautiful comitry, on the slope of a 
 gentle eminence ; its streets are irregular, but generally speaking well 
 built, and they are excellently paved and lighted. Lincoln formerly 
 comprised upwards of fifty parishes, and the ecclesiastical buildings were 
 of great beauty. Independently of its noble cathedi'al, there are now many 
 interesting parish chiuT,hes. The cathecbal, considered one of the finest in 
 England, was built partly in the 12tli and partly in the 15th centimes; 
 its style of architecture is mixed, but the beauty of the whole is incom- 
 parable, while in size it is only exceeded by that of York Minster. Its 
 stained-glass, screen, tombs, ladye-chapel, chapter-house, cloisters, library, 
 and the ruins of the old episcopal palace are aU highly interesting and 
 worthy of inspection. This sacred spot contains the ashes of Catherine

 Newahk. This town is approached from the north by a long-raised

 school, founded in 1529, which, with other charities, has an annual revenue 
 of £2,.500. The law coiuls, corporate ofiices, and the puljlic assembly room 
 are contained within the town hall. The parish church is considered one 
 of the finest specimens of the florid Gothic style, it has a very Ught and 
 elegant stone tower, supporting a lofty spire of great beauty and forming a 
 conspicuous object for many miles round; there are also several Dissenting 
 chapels. The castle, which was bmlt by King Stephen and dismantled by

 Market Rasen, a market-town and parish, in the southern division of 
 the hundi-ed of Walshcroft, parts of Liudsey, comity of Lincoln. This 
 town is situated near the soiu'ce of the river Ancholme, on a small stream 
 called tlie Rase, whence it derives its name, and has a very neat appearance. 
 The surrounding country is beautiful and fertile. The church, dedicated to 
 St. Tliomas, is a commodious edifice, with an embattled tower, the upper 
 windows of wliich are of a curious form, having a pointed arch, divided 
 into two pointed lights, and a quatrefoil head ; a strong mullion runs up 
 the centre, crossed by a transom, terminatiug at tlie imposts. This chui'ch 
 is similar to that at Yarborough, near Louth, and both were erected, it is 
 probable, at tlie same period, for on the south side of the tower of each is 
 a representation of our first parents on the branches of a fioiit-tree, on the 
 tiTink of which is the dart of death, allusive to the effects of eating the 
 forbidden fruit. Tiie living is a vicarage, in the gift of the Crown, aud in 
 the endowment the Vicar is entitled to the unusual tythe of ale. There 
 are likewise places of worship for Wesleyans and Primitive jMethodists. 
 The uatioual school for chilcken was biult iu 1S22, partly by subscription 
 and partly by endowment. A hospital was founded iu 1612, by Sir 
 George S. Pole of Snarford, for the maintenance of eight indigent men, of 
 whom four reside in the hospital. They receive each Is. 9d. per week, 
 blue coats every second year, and a gratuity at Christmas. Near 
 which is Middle Rasen. The church, dedicated to St. Peter, is small, 
 but has a curious entrance porch, with zigzag, nailhead, aud other 
 mouldings. The chancel is separated from the nave by elegant screenwork, 
 beneath a pointed arch, supported by Norman circular pdlars, which was 
 probably coeval with the doorway. The nave appears to have had side 
 aisles, as the pillars aud pointed arches stand in relief from the present 
 walls. This place is divided into two parishes — Drax and TuphoLn. The 
 latter had an abbey of Prcemoustratensian Canons, dedicated to the Virgin 
 Mary, by Alan de Neville and his brother Gilbert, in the time of Henrv II., 
 in winch at the dissolution were nine monks, who, according to Speed, had 
 the annual income of £1]9 2*. Sd. To the chui-ch of St. Peter, called 
 Tupholm, in Lliddle Rasen, Gilbert de Bland of that place gave, among 
 other donations, one part of his meadow in Lissingley. This, which 
 contains between five and six himdred acres of very wet land, was once, 
 according to tradition, a park belonging to Sir John Burlingthorpe, and 
 granted him by royal favour as a reward for his courage aud prowess in 
 attacking and slaying a dragon which infested the neighbourhood. A 
 similar story is related of Sir Hugh Bardolph, who is said to have slain 
 another at Walmsgate. These di-aconsides, or di-agonslayers, were men 
 who, by their skill or liberality, carried on works of drainage, and other 
 improvements, in their respective neighbourhoods, by which the floods 
 and tides being prevented from continually inundating the lands, the 
 heads of these hycka-monsters were cut off, and prevented from again 
 terrifying people by their ominous and unwelcome appearance. A little 
 fui-ther. West Rasen, a village and parish, in the county of Lincoki. 
 There are gas works, a brewery, banks, &c. The church, dedicated to 
 AH Saints, is a modem building, consisting of nave, south aisle, and 
 chancel, with tower containing three bells.

 a romantic and stately pile. The outer walls contain between five and six 
 acres. It is a castellated manor house, which, with its ruined keep, moat, 
 drawbridge, portcullises, walls, towers, barbacan, courts, terraces, extensive 
 deer-park, diversified by every variety of hiU, dale, wood, and lake, and 
 situated in a beautiful and commanding position on the Wolds, presents a 
 picturesque and magnificent example of a baronial residence in the middle 
 ages. The interior comprises apartments of great size and dignity ; a large 
 banqueting-hall, with an open and massive roof, after the fashion of early 
 times, adorned with a nunstrels' gallery, numerous suits of armouj", ancient 
 weapons, banners, and portraits ; an extensive lilu-ary in the same style, with 
 a similar roof ; a spacious saloon, corresponding with the hall in its 
 attributes, beside a variety of galleries and apartments decorated with 
 pictui-es, statuary armom-,'^ tapestry, &c. The oriels and windows are 
 beautifully emiched with painted glass, and a variety of coat armour and 
 heraldic devices connected with the family. In the gallery are original 
 busts of Napoleon and Byron, the former by Chaudet, and the latter by 
 BartoUni, for which the sculptors had the benefit of several sittings. The 
 bust of Napoleon was given by him to his uncle. Cardinal Eesch ; and that 
 of Byi'on was done at Pisa, before he went to Greece, and is mentioned by 
 him in his correspondence. The large collection of armour and pictures 
 comprises fine specimens of various periods ; several of the portraits are of 
 great historical interest, and there are some noble Etruscan vases, among 
 the finest in this country. In 1807 a glazed earthen vessel was turned up 
 by the plough on ]\Ir. Tennyson D'Eyncourt's estate, then the property of 
 his father, containing about 6,000 silver pennies of Hem-y II., of various 
 mints, and disclosing to antiquaries several mintages and specimens before 
 unknown. By the liberaUty of the owner, collections were placed in the 
 British Museum, and in other repositories. The discovery was made ahnost 
 at the top of the Wold, near 'nhat appeared to have been anciently a road 
 on the southern boundary of the parish, near to North Willingliam. A 
 fuH account of this discovery is given in the " Archa^ologia," published by 
 the Society of Antic[uaries. On the whole, Bayons Manor presents an 
 interest and a beauty far beyond the average of places frequented by the 
 tourist, and will well repay the time he may devote to a visit.

 Hertford, the capital of the county of Herts, sends two members to 
 Parliament; registered electors, (ISIS), Gil. The town, laid out in the 
 form of the letter Y, contains an ancient castle, standing between the two 
 horns. This fortress dates as far back as the 10th century, although 
 very few traces of the original structure is now discoverable, except 
 some of the outer walls, a portion of one round and some angular 
 towers. It was frequenily the residence of royalty, and holds a 
 conspicuous place in history as the prison of the Kings of Prance and 
 Scotland, in the reign of Edward 111., ]n-cviously to which, in the reign of 
 John, it was besieged and taken by the Dauphin of France. The town 
 formerly possessed five churches, of which four were parochial, and one 
 attached to its ancient priory. AU Saints' and St. Andrew's alone remain ; 
 the former is a spacious structure, consisting of a nave, chancel, and side 
 aisles, and has a low tower and spire. Hertford contains a line building 
 for the preparatory education of the children of the blue-coat school bt'long- 
 ing to Christ's Hospital ; it consists of three sides of a quadrangle, and has

 cerned in the supposed conspiracy to mui-der Charles II. aud the Duke 
 of York, on their retui-n from NcM-market, called the " Rye-House 
 Plot." The ancient gate house, all that remained of the mansion, was, 
 some years ago, used as the workhouse for the poor of Stanstead.

 Wake, on the left bank of the river Lea, is a substantially built town, 
 aud has a considerable trade in corn, facilitated by the river, the stream of 
 which is here very rapid. The church, a cruciform structiu-e, is of great 
 antiquity, contained some fine brasses which have been taken away, aud 
 other curiosities. Amongst other venerable relics at tlie Saracen's Head 
 may be seen the " great bed of Ware," twelve feet square, neither the use nor 
 origin of wluch have ever been well authenticated, although said to have 
 been the state bed of Edward IV. Here are also the remains of an ancient 
 priory. Ware is said to owe its origin to King Edward the Elder, who 
 built it on the site of a wear formed on the river by the Danish army, from 
 whence also it derives its name.

 From the various eminences that surround the house the plantations

 with wood, and watered by a stream which joins the river Beau at Frogmore, 
 and which, having been widened near the house, forms a beautifid piece of 
 water. Ware Park, the seat of T. H. Byde, Esq., is pleasantly situated 
 on a hiU commanding the rich and fertile meadows between Ware and 
 Hertford. The park and grounds are weU planted and disposed, the

 Newmarket. Nearly half the population of Newmarket are trainers, 
 jockeys, stable-keepers, and grooms. It is a beautiful town, containing 
 splendid mansions of the uobdity, &c. who patronise the tiuf, elegant 
 meeting rooms of the Jockey Club, several capital hotels, and vast ranges 
 of stabling. A house, called the King's House, was originally built by 
 James I. for the purpose of enjoying the diversion of hunting, and the 
 repute it subsequently acquired for horse-racing seems to have arisen from 
 the swiftness of some Spanish horses which, having been wrecked in the 
 vessels of the Armada, were brought hither. Charles II. frequently 
 honoured the races with his presence, and particularly on the 22nd of 
 March, 16S3, when, owing to a sudden conflagration, he was obliged to 
 return to London, to wliich has been attributed the defeat of the Rye- 
 House Plot. The Palace, Duke of Rutland ; Kingston House, Stephen

 hill. There were formerly two churches, St. Mary's and St. Peter's, but the 
 latter only remains, in which was a chantry. The church consists of a nave, 
 north and south aisles, with a fine embattled tower, the battlements not 
 pierced but ornamented with quatrefoils, a tm-ret at each corner, and three 
 others on each side. The angles of the tower arc supported by double 
 buttresses. In the churchyard of St. Mary's, Roman coins have been found. 
 A free scliool was founded in this town by Mr. le Hunt, but from neglect it 
 now is, or latterly was, merely a sinecure.

 Kendal, a parliamentary and mnnicipal borougli, market-town, and 
 parish, stands amongst lofty lulls in a vale, on the Ken, which is here 
 crossed by thi-ee bridges. *^The houses are principally built of whitened 
 
 Windermere. The church is an old structure and has a curious stained 
 glass window. The islets of Windermere Lake are in this parish. Lake 
 Windermere, or Winandermere, is justly considered one of the most 
 beautiful of the English lakes. It is situated partly between the counties 
 of Westmoreland and Ijancaster, but chiefly in the latter comity ; and is 
 fourteen miles in length by one mile in width, and discharges its surplus 
 waters southward by the'Leven into Morecombe Bay. Its shores are 
 finely wooded, especially on its west side, where Eurness Eell, a steep 
 height, is closed with a l^orest of larch and fir. In its centre is a group of 
 small islands, the most extensive of which comprises 28 acres. Bowness 
 is on the east, and Ambleside near its north extremity. The lake is 
 principally fed by the Brathay and Rothay, just before entering the lake. 
 The streams of Troulbeck, Blelham, Tarn, and Esthwaite Water also pom- 
 in then- waters at different points. Windermere, which from its great 
 beauty is termed the Queen of the Lakes, is deeper than any of the other 
 lakes with the exception of Wast Water, its depth in some parts being 
 upwards of 240 feet. It is remarkable for the softness and at the same 
 time the grandeur of its scenery, and is void of the wildness which marks 
 the character of some of the o'ther lakes. 1 m. s. Bowness. The Craig,

 4 m. N.N.w. Ambleside, a small irregidarly -built market-town, on steeply 
 inclined ground, a mile from the head of Windermere, upon or near the 
 spot formerly occupied by the Roman station Dictis ; where in a field near 
 the edge of the lake are the indistinct remains of Roman fortifications, 
 where relics have been frequently discovered. Ambleside lies directly 
 under Wansfell, and is surrounded by mountains on all sides, except on 
 the south-west ; the situation is one of great beauty, and in the summer is 
 much resorted to by tourists, who frequently make it their abode for some 
 time. Many excursions may be made from Amlfieside, and there are 
 abundant and interesting walks in the neighbourhood. The valley of 
 Ambleside, on the border of wliich the town stands, is well wooded and 
 watered by several streams ; the principal river is the Rothay, which flows 
 from Grasmere andRydal Lakes, and ionis the Bratl)ay just before entering 
 Windermere. Upon Stock Gill, a tributary of the Rothay, there is a fine 
 fall, or fora, in a copse-wood, about 700 yards from the market cross, the

 Keswick is situated in a fertile vale between Skiddaw and Derwent 
 Water. It consists chiefly of one large street. The clock-bell of the town 
 hall, which was taken from a building formerly standing on Lord's Island, 
 has the letters and figures H. D. R. O. 1001, upou it, a proof of its great 
 antiquity. Market, Saturday. Half a mile from Keswick is the Lake of 
 Derwent Water, in the county of Cnmberlaud, in Borrowdale. It is 
 celebrated for its picturesque beauty, extends from north to soutli about 
 three miles, and is about a mile and a half in breadth, expanding within an 
 amphitheatre of rocky mountains, broken into fantastic forms. It is an 
 enlargement of the Derwent river, wliich enters at its south, and emerges at 
 its north extremity. In it are several richly-wooded islands, the principal 
 of which are Vicar's Isle, Lord's Island, and St. Herbert's Isle. The first is 
 the nearest to the foot of the lake, and contains about six acres ; and the 
 latter, situated nearly in the centre of the lake, derives its name from a 
 holy hermit, who in the 7th century resided in a cell on this island, the 
 remains of which are still visible. There are besides three or four other 
 islets, the largest of which is Rampsholme. At irregular periods of a few 
 years, the lake exhibits a singular phenomenon, ui the rising of a piece of 
 land from the bottom to the surface of the water, called the Floating Island. 
 Its extent varies in different years from an acre to a few perches. It is 
 situated about a huncked and fifty yards from the shore, near Lowdore. 
 1 m. w. Loughrigg is a rocky hill, which rises opposite the town, to an

 700, Aldhelm, Bishop of Slierbourn, founded an abbey at this place, which 
 he dedicated to St. Lawrence. It was subsequoutly destroyed by the 
 Danes. Ethclred converted it into a nuimery, and amiexed to it a larger 
 establishment of the same kind at Shaftesbury in 1001. The town is 
 beautifully situated on tlie declivity of a steep hill, and the view of it at a 
 short distance is strikingly picturesqiie. The principal branch of manufac- 
 ture is that of woollen cloth, which is said by Lelaud to have flourished in 
 the time of Henry VIII. The church, dedicated to the Holy Trinity, is a

 the Clyde. Dumbarton Castle, which is 
 kept up at the pubKc expense under the 
 provisions of the Act of Union, is a fortress 
 of great antiquity and historical interest. 
 It is situated on a bold isolated rock at the 
 mouth of the river, and is supposed to 
 occupy the site of a Roman station. The 
 towu of Dumbarton has a good main street, 
 but the houses are inconveniently crowded 
 together. The Leven is navigable to the 
 quay at high water. Ship-buikUng, rope- 
 making, glass works, and manufactm-es of 
 diiferent articles are carried on in the town 
 and neighbourhood. Here are several

 barton. It contains an area of forty square 
 miles; is twenty-one miles in extreme length 
 
 from north to south, about eight miles in 
 its greatest breadth, narrowing to about one 
 mile at the north end, its depth varying from 
 ten to sixty fathoms, while thirty islands, 
 many of which are beautifully wooded, 
 speckle the sm-face of its waters. The Luss, 
 Fruin, EncWck, and other streams empty 
 themselves into this raagniticent reservoir, 
 avd in return Loch Lomond discharges its 
 superfluous waters from its southern ex- 
 tremity into the Frith of Clyde, through the 
 channel of the Leven, to which river it 
 imparted its ancient name. From the summit 
 of Ben Lomond, Ben Nevis, the father of the 
 nioiLutains of Great Britain, the mighty 
 Atlantic, the cities of Edmbui-gh aud Glas- 
 gow, with hundreds of to-wns, villages, and 
 hamlets, burst upon the traveller's view. 
 Were this an historical manual, instead of a 
 tourists' guide, we might record the exciting 
 events and occurrences of this enchanting 
 vicinity; but if the matter were not perfectly 
 irrevelant to our subject, want of space would 
 preclude its insertion, and we ^vill, therefore, 
 merely observe that the shores of the lake 
 are adorned with splendid seats and pictu- 
 resque ruins, aud that steam-boats are con- 
 stantly plying on the lake for the accom- 
 modation of its numerous visitors.

 built town of Paisley occupies the site of the 
 Roman station Yandui-ia ; it stands on rising 
 ground, aud is well supi)lied with water. It 
 contains an ancient coUegiate abbey church, 
 a very striking edifice. Its chief articles of 
 manufacture are silk aud other sliawls, and

 was only iu the last century that it emerged 
 from msignificauce. The greater part of tlie 
 town stands on level groiuid, but a portion 
 stretches up a steep acclivity, from which 
 there are fine prospects of the surrounding 
 countiy. As it increased in prosperity from 
 time to time new streets and handsome resi- 
 dences were added for the accommodation of 
 the merchants, and the public buildings at 
 the present day give proof of the spirit to 
 which they owe their perfection. The quays, 
 on the banks of the Clyde, extending up- 
 wards of 2, .500 feet in length, and behind 
 which are the harbours, &c., are magnificent. 
 Here are a mechanics' institute, several 
 public libraries, one of 60,000 volumes, in 
 the haU of which is a beautiful statue of 
 Watt, a native of Greenock, by Chantry, 
 several banks, and a grammar school, ware- 
 houses, cotton and other mills, all on a grand 
 scale. The most extraordinary featiu'c, how- 
 ever, in the internal economy of Greenock is 
 the manner in which the water is suppKed to 
 the towu, for household and mechanical pur- 
 poses. Por domestic purposes by means of 
 reservoirs belonging to Shaw's Water Com- 
 pany, and for public works by an aqueduct 
 six miles and a half iu length, from artificial 
 ponds containing an area of 36 S acres, 630

 municipal burgh, and sea-port, consists of 
 the two towns of Old and New Aberdeen, 
 situated between the rivers Don and Dee, 
 and though very near each otlier they have 
 distinct municipal and ecclesiastical consti- 
 tutions. Old Aberdeen, the more northerly, 
 was elevated to the rank of a city in the 
 I2th century ; a small portion of the ancient 
 cathedral of St. Machar is still extant. The 
 bridge, up to which the Don is navigable, 
 consists of one Gothic arch, built in the 
 11th century by Bishop Che^ne; there is 
 also a neat town house and some small 
 charitable foundations. The university, or 
 King's Colleg'c, foimded by James V. in 
 1191, and opened to students in 1506, con- 
 tains a fine library. The body of the royal 
 founder is buried in the college chapel. 
 New Aberdeen is a royal burgh only, 
 governed by a provost and four baiUies, 
 and in conjunction with its neighbour 
 returns one member to Parliament. It 
 stands on four small eminences on the left 
 bank of the Dee, which forms its harbour, 
 over which there is a one-arched granite 
 bridge of 132 feet span. The public build- 
 ings consist of a town hall, prison, and 
 masonic lodge under one erlifice, in the 
 centre of which is a tower with lofty spires. 
 It is in this building that the maiden, a 
 somewhat similar instrument to the guillo- 
 tine, is preserved. There are barracks for 
 500 men, and a theatre open for tlivee or 
 four months in the year. The East Kirk is 
 an ancient Gothic stracture ; the West Ku'k 
 is of more modern architecture, and there 
 are several Dissenting places of worship. 
 The Marischal College, founded in 1591, has 
 a library of 10,000 volumes and is attended 
 by between 200 and 300 students. New 
 Aberdeen has a spacious harbour, and a pier 
 built by Smeaton. Registered shipping, 335 
 vessels; aggregate burden, 53,117 tons.

 market-place called the Cross. Its principal 
 pul)lic buildings and institutions are St. 
 Andrew's and other churches, the Watt 
 Institution, new public seminaries, large 
 barracks, exchange, &c. Dundee is the 
 principal seat of the linen manufactures in 
 Great Britain. The estimated value of these 
 goods, exported in the year 1839, w'as 
 £1,810,466. Dimdee has' a tide harbour, 
 and several large wet docks, lately con- 
 structed at a great expense. The old square 
 tower of the cathedral church, founded by 
 David, Earl of Huntingdon, is 156 feet high ; 
 and the churches connected with this ancient 
 tower, have suffered great dilapidations, and 
 were nearly destroyed by fire in 1811. The 
 town was formerly surrounded by walls, the 
 construction of which was commenced by the 
 English, and completed by the Erench in 
 1517, but no traces of them are now visible. 
 Whitehall, an ancient builcling, which for- 
 merly stood near the Cross, and was the 
 scene of frequent conventions of estates, and 
 meetings of the general assemblies of the 
 Scottish Kirk, is now entirely demolished; 
 but some slight portions of the Lucken- 
 booths, at the west end of the High Street, 
 which was the birthplace of Anne of Buc-

 a monastery of Culdees, and was burnt by 
 Edward, after he had resided in it for nine 
 months, a.d. 130i. It was rebuilt by 
 Robert Bruce whose remains were here in- 
 terred. In 15 S9, the abbey, with its posses- 
 sions, was erected into a temporary lordship, 
 and granted to Anne of Denmark, the wife 
 of James I. of England. The nave, tower, 
 and some portions of the refectory, which 
 are of mixed Saxon and Norman architecture,

 Leith, a parbaraentary burgh and 
 sea-port town, situated on the Water of 
 Leith, at its entrance into the Frith of 
 Forth. In conjunction with PortobeUo and 
 Musselbui'gh it sends one member to Pai-lia- 
 ment. The situation of Leith is low ; it 
 consists of a long narrow street, from which 
 diverge numerous lanes and alleys; but 
 beyond the only boundaries on Leith Walk 
 several new streets with sjjacious houses 
 have greatly improved this locabty. The 
 harbour extends upwards of a mile into the 
 Forth, and works for extending its accom- 
 modation are still going on. It contains 
 two large wet docks, each 250 yards long 
 and 100 yards broad ; a basin of ten acres ; 
 and thi-ee diy docks, each 136 feet long. To 
 the west of the custom house is a fine fort, 
 and there are two di-awbridges, and a stone 
 bridge over the Water of Leith. The im- 
 portance of Leith, when abnost the only 
 channel of comnmnication between the Scot- 
 tish metropolis and foreign countries, may be 
 easdy imagined, and it must strike every per- 
 son of reflection as a singular anomaly, how any 
 portion of the ground between that city and 
 its port should have continued as open fields 
 for so many centuries; for untd comparatively 
 modern tunes they were completely sepa- 
 rated by the huts or meadows. Leith has 
 often felt the savage effects of warfare; in 
 1511 it was burnt by the EngUsh Fleet; in 
 1549 it was taken by the French who came 
 to the assistance of Mary of Guise ; and 
 daring the civil wars of the 17th century it 
 was the scene of many stirring events. 
 CromweU repaired its fortifications.

 CHESTER TO HOLYHEAD. 
 
 Chester. (See Wolverhampton and 
 Chester, p. 3G8.) 
 
 7 m. Queen's Eekry. 
 
 12§ ui. Flint. The principal buildings of 
 the to wn are its church, or chapel of ease, in 
 which there is nothing remarkable ; a fine 
 gaol and a guildhall. The town itself is 
 small ; and although there are considerable 
 exports of coal and lead from its neighbour- 
 ing mines, and imports of timber, and ships 
 of 300 tons can approach its wharves, it is a 
 place of very little imjjortance in a commer- 
 cial point of view. It is, however, much 
 frequented as a bathing-place, and its high 
 antiquity must render it of deep interest to 
 the antiquary. It was originally a Roman 
 encampment — rectangular, surroimded with 
 regular entrenchments and ramparts, with 
 four fortified gates. Continual discoveries of 
 coins, warlike and other instruments, confirm 
 this fact. The castle, which is now in decay, 
 must have been of great strength. Flint is 
 the principal poUing-place for the county, 
 and in conjunction with Mold, Holywell, St. 
 Asaph, Rhyddlan, &c., returns one member 
 to Parliament. 
 
 14i m. Bagitts. Here are two town- 
 ships, adjacent to each other, called Fawr 
 and Fechen, in the parish of Holywell, 
 county of Flint. 
 
 IG^ m. Holywell, is the most important 
 town in the county, and contains numerous 
 cotton manufactories, smelting houses, and 
 foundries, with coal, copper, zinc, and lead 
 mines, in its immediate vicinity. It is plea- 
 santly situated on the slope of a mountain, 
 near the estuary of the Dee. The church is 
 partly ancient and partly modern, and here 
 are also Roman Catholic and Dissenting 
 places of worship, with a beautifid Gothic 
 chapel, now used as a school. The remains 
 of an abbey, and of a British fortification, and 
 the courthouse over St. Winifred's Well, are 
 relics of deep interest to the antiquary. The 
 courthouse was built by the Coimtess of 
 Richmond, mother of Henry VII. ; and the 
 well itself, whose icy cold and clear waters 
 are believed to have effected such wonderful 
 cures of almost all known diseases, is still an 
 object of veneration to the Protestant as well 
 as the Catholic. The water rises with the 
 greatest impetuosity from the bottom of the 
 well, which is surroimded by ancient masonry 
 elaborately sculptured, throwing out twenty- 
 one tons per minute, and, singular as it may 
 seem, its waters have never oeen known to 
 
 freeze. Holywell, with Flint, &c., sends one 
 member to Parliament. (See Flint.) 
 
 20 m. Mostyn. Steamboats ply between 
 this place and Liverpool.

 451 m. Conway, or Aber Conway, is a 
 parliamentary and municipal borough, sea- 
 port to\vn, and parish, on the estuary of the 
 Conway, or Conwy, here crossed by a magni- 
 ficent tubular suspension-bridge, 327 feet in 
 length. It is built on the slope of a steep 
 hiU, and is surrounded by embattled walls, 
 with towers and gateways, wliich are still in 
 a fair state of repair. Its celebrated castle, 
 erected by Edward I., on a rock above the 
 river, is perfect in many parts, and is cer- 
 tainly one of the most splendid specimens of 
 the old feudal fortresses now existing in this 
 kingdom. The church is very ancient, and 
 there is a good corporation hall, which are the 
 principal edifices. The harbour is dry at low 
 water, and the town carries on but little trade. 
 Market, Friday ; fairs, April 6th, September 
 4th, October 10th, and November 8th. In 
 conjunction with Carnarvon, Bangor, Cric- 
 cieth, Nevin, and PwUheli, it returns one 
 member to Parliament. 
 
 50 m. Penmaenmawr. This mountain, 
 whose summit is crowned with ancient forti- 
 fications, is in the county of Carnarvon, and 
 rises 1,400 feet above the level of the sea. 
 
 541 m. Aber, in the county of Carnarvon. 
 There is a ferry to the Isle of Anglesea. 
 
 59§ m. Bangor, a parliamentary borough, 
 city, and sea-port, situated at the head of 
 Beaumaris Bay. The city is built at the 
 base of a high rauge of rocky cliffs, and 
 consists of one narrow street about a mile 
 long, in which there are several good houses 
 and excellent hotels. The cathedral, wliich 
 is of high antiquity, said to have been erected 
 in the 6th century, is an embattled cruci- 
 form structure, with a low massive tower. 
 The cathedi-al service is performed in the 
 choir ; the nave is used as the parish church ; 
 and the Welsh service is celebrated in one of 
 the transepts. The episcopal palace and 
 deanery are neat buildings. In tliis parish 
 stands the celebrated Menai Bridge, over

 the Straits, connecting the Isle of Anglesea 
 Avitli tlie main laud. It -was, luitil the recent 
 erection of the tubular suspeusiou-bridge for 
 this Ime, one of the greatest wonders of 
 the kingdom, and is only surpassed by that 
 extraordinary effort of mau's genius. Here 
 are fairs, August 26th, September 26th, 
 October 24th, and Xovember 14th, wliich 
 are the most extensive for tlie sale of cattle 
 in all North Wales. With Carnarvon, &c.,

 small rocky island, in the county, and on the 
 west side of Auglesea, with which island it is 
 connected by a long causeway over a chan- 
 nel fordable at low water. The island is 
 generally barren, but there are some slight 
 patches of pastui'e here and there ; and it 
 terminates in au immense lieadland of rock, 
 in which there are numerous caves densely 
 inhabited by sea-fowl. The town of Holy- 
 head, which owes its importance to its posi- 
 tion as the nearest British port to Dublin, 
 is a paliamentary borough, situated at the 
 north end of the island; and the parish 
 contains an area of 3,000 a. It is a neat 
 town, well built, with some excellent hotels. 
 The harbour, in which there are fourteen 
 feet of water at low tide, is formed by a pier 
 900 feet in length. 
 
 CHESTER TO MOLD. 
 
 Chester. (See Wolverhampton and Ches- 
 ter, p. 368.) On the left, near Holt, Trevalyn 
 Hall, Thomas GriiEth, Esq. This ancient 
 manorial residence, of the Trevor family 
 (ancestors of the lady of the present occu- 
 pier, who is also one of the co-heiresses of 
 the adjoining extensive estates), was built 
 in the IStli year of the reign of Queen 
 Elizabeth, by John Trevor, the nineteenth 
 heir lineally descended from Tudor Trevor, 
 Earl of Hereford. It consists of two wings, 
 built of red brick, rough-casted over, with 
 stone quoins and muUions, aud ornamented 
 with numerous coats of arms, presenting a 
 very respectable specimen of Elizabethan 
 architecture. 
 
 4| m. Bkoughton, a township of North 
 Wales, in the county of Denbigh. 
 
 9 ra. Hope, caUed also Eastyn, is situated 
 on the river Allen, over which is a very old

 and here are the ruins of a castle whose origin 
 dates prior to the conquest of Wales by 
 Edward I. With Flint, &c., Hope returns 
 one member to Parliament.

 retui'us one member to Parliament. 
 
 CHEPSTOW, CARDIFF, AND 
 SWANSEA. 
 Chepstow. The town is situated on the 
 slope of a hiU, with a handsome iron bridge 
 across the river. The principal object of 
 attraction to the antiquary is the romantic 
 ivy-clad ruins of Chepstow's famous castle ; 
 it stands on a cliff overhanging the beautiful 
 Wye, forming a very pictui'esque and beauti- 
 ful' feature in the landscape. In the vicinity 
 are the ruins of Tintern Abbey. Market, 
 Saturday, and monthly cattle ditto ; and four 
 annual fairs. 
 
 5 m. PORTSKEWETT. 
 
 17 m. Newport. The principal buildings 
 of Newport are of a higUy interesting cha- 
 racter, from their great antiquity and histori- 
 cal associations. The castle, near the bridge, 
 which was built by Robert Fitzroy, son of 
 Henry I., originally of gi'cater extent, is now 
 in ruins, but in the centre is the hall of 
 reception, aud near it are the remains of the 
 baronial haU. The pai'ish church, built at 
 various epochs, is a venerable edifice ; and 
 here are the remains of a monastery, a 
 union workhouse, and several schools and 
 chapels. The new docks are magnificent, 
 having fme wharves, and ship-buUding yards ; 
 here are also large iron fomickies. The ex- 
 ports of coal, iron, and tin, brought by canals 
 or tram-railways to this town are considera- 
 ble, and the port is accessible to sliips of 
 large burden. The borough unites with 
 Monmouth aud Usk, in sending one member 
 to Parliament. Three miles on the right, 
 Llantarnam Abbey, Reginald James Blewitt, 
 Esq., M.P., biult on the site of a Cistercian 
 monastery dissolved in the time of 
 Henry VIII. It was repaired, ornamented, 
 and embellished by the present proprietor at 
 a vast expense, and is au object well worthy 
 of the tourist's inspection. About 2 m. on 
 the road from Newport to Cardiff, a short 
 distance on the right, The Gaer, Mrs. 
 Hawkins. The Gaer House was built in 
 Queen Elizabeth's reim, by Alexander Leys, 
 Esq., and modernized by the late Anthony 
 Montonnier Hawkins, Esq., who succeeded

 to the Gaer estate thi'ough his mother 
 Plorence, one of the daughters aud co-heirs 
 of William Leys, Esq. The name is derived 
 from a Romau fort -which is situated iu 
 Tredegar Park, which ioius the Gaer estate. 
 The "Welsh for a ' fort' being ' Gaer' gave the 
 name to the estate, which formerly included 
 the Roman fort or gaer ; close to which 
 Tredegar Park. From this station, on the 
 right, there is a branch to Pontypool. 
 22? Marshfield. 
 
 29 m. Cardiff, vrith Cowbridge and 
 Llantripant, sends one member to Parlia- 
 ment. Cardiff formerly possessed two 
 churches, but one of them was destroyed by 
 an inundation iu 1607, together with many 
 other buildings. The remaiuiug edifice has 
 no architectui-al beauty to recommend it to 
 especial notice, except the arch of the west 
 door aud the elegant tower erected in the 
 reign of Edward III. Cardiff is memorable 
 in history as the place of many stirrmg 
 events. The basin and docks, which owe 
 their origin to the Marquis of Bute, the 
 noble owner of Cardift" Castle, at a cost of 
 upwards of £300,000, are spacious and 
 maguiflcent. Besides mining products a 
 considerable quantity of corn is exported. 
 Markets, "Wednesday and Saturday ; and six 
 annual cattle fairs. Near which Courtyrala,

 canal. 
 
 75 m. Swansea. The chief trade of this 
 most thriving town consists iu the export of 
 coal and in smelting British and foreign 
 copper ore, works for that purpose extend- 
 ing to both banks of the river. The imports

 house, uifirmarv, assembly rooms, theatre, 
 reading and news rooms, royal and me- 
 chanics' institutions, numci'ous chapels, a 
 synagogue, several schools and public en- 
 dowments, a county house of coiTCction, 
 vai-ious banks, handsome mansions and good 
 residences near the sea, and the i-uius of au 
 ancient castle, parts of which have been 
 converted into barracks, a prison, and stores. 
 The harbour is nearly enclosed by two 
 handsome piers, and there is a lighthouse on 
 the west side ; floating docks have also been 
 constmcted here, and the town communi- 
 cates by canals with Henoyad, in the county 
 of Brecon, and with Neath and the coal
