The beat hotel In ?" j. Warwick la Called the Warwick Arm*. To this I drorve, l>nt found " iro roat for the aole af m> foot," Jt being literally and legatfy erammedt by Judges, jurymen, attorneys, advocates, barristers, bailiffs, eonctablea. oatch-poles, Ac. A 1? fact,' the. town waa awarnaing with inch* crowd of creatures aa criminal courts common If carry In their wake. Finding It impoasiblo to jttOMtsti my ease in thla court, I, neat qj*piated to the landlord of the " Wool-pack,*, who inrited mo to fake a scat within tha bar will at once catered mo on hta docket, No. 143, and called a livo porter, (not a pot,) who earried my taie 'i. e. my trunk) to a higher ennrt indooil to a Supremely high court, being in the third story ; but I waa glad, crcn by this maana, to oacapo the conit of Chancery, which at ffiy A rat trial seemed inevitable. I auppod and atopt, finite to my tasto and satisfaction; and. rising early next morning. took ? stroll through the town before it* in habitants. woro well astir. Warwick Is beautifully situs lot), on rising ground, near tba hanks of tho river Avon, and although a plans of great antiquity, la vorjr attraotlrs in its appoarnnco. Ancieot gntowwys mark tho entrance to tho town, one cn tho oast,and another on tile west side ; each of those gates has a chapel luiilt over it. Population of tho town, about 11,000. Thoro aro.unvny places of much interest, hut I bad tlmo to visit only a fow . to, as entrance to the Castlo cnnld not be oh. tain. .1 till ton o'clock, I employed my time hotweon breakfast and that hour by a visit to 8t. Mary*s Cburoh, in and about which I conl.l have spont a whole day with pleasure.? It is a noble structure, standing on nn eminence, which gives It conspicuous prominence aliotre tho root or the town. It has a fino chime oi boils, which ploy automatically, a different luno oaeb day hi tho week, repeating it every hour. Many of tho churches about England have solf-moving chimes, like litis.? Historians assert that St. Mary's Church was foundod long before the Conquest. It has l>?en several times partially destroyed and restored again. Tho tower is accredited to Christopher Wren, but the truth of this'claim admits of a doubt, inasmuch as the grcnt architect resided in this victuHyr(aa do some of his descendants, at this day,) and it is natural to suppose that rn.-my works are attributed to bis design that never were engondorcd in bis prolific brain. Tho front windows of this Church havo a rcry quaint ?ppo?raneoj being formed with double sets of arches, and the ape* of each adorned (*) with a grinuiug head, which, I fancy, bears no resemblance to angels or men. Stained gloss wiudows arc common in Warwick, there being several manufactories of that ornamontal article in this plare. Iu the year 1695, the town was almost entlre'y destroyed by fire. St. Mary's Churoli, although not wholly demolished, suffered much in the destruction of its rich monuments; hut many fine ones still retnnin. That part of the Ohureh called " the choir," can boast of one surpassing all I ever saw, for grcnt beauty.? It covers tho tomb of Thomas Eoauchamp Earl of Warwick, (who built this part of the Church,) and hia Countess, Catherine Mortimer. It is in shape like an altar ; and, lying tbcrcoa, are Cull length effigies of the Earl and Ida wife. He, elmhod in armor, rests beside 1 he Countess, with her right hand elapsed In . no of his, while his other grasps a sword.? Her dross, resembling a petticoat, buttons at I be wrist, ami over this she wears a mantle.? Two angelic-looking female figures, (but without wings,) sit at their head, as if watching over the sioopers, while a lamb reposes at tho feet of the Countess, and the inevitable boar Is seated at tbo feet of the Karl. Around the al.lcs of the tomb, aro between .16 and <0 innio and female figures, representing the family relatives of the deceased. We learn front an inscription that tho Ear) fought in tho armies of the Black Prince Edward, and also as a Crusader in Palestine. Another magnificent monument within the choir stands as a memorial of Fuike Orcvillo, Lord Brooke, who solooted this plaOo for his tomb, and wroto his own epitaph, which roada as follows: " Fulke Grocville, servant to Queen Elisabeth, councillor to King James, and lriond to Sir Philip Sldnoy." That part of St. Mary's Church called tho Lady Chapel la built In tho richest style of Gothic architecture, and is supremely handsome. Tho ceiling, like that of the choir, is formed of stone and cxquisitoly carved. The fioor is paved with blocks of black ahd white marblo. In the centre of the Chapel is the splendid touib of Richard Deauchump, who founded this part of tho church. This tomb is said to he the handsomest In the kingdom, with the single exception of Henry VII's, iu Westminister Abbey. Lying at full longth upon tho top is a figure o( tho Ear! in brass armor; his head rests upon his holmct, and his beard and hair are short and curly. The bands are raised, with the palms pr<-*scd together in a prayerful manner. A garter cocirclcs bis loft Knop, inn a iworu ana uug-rr no nv a is siuo.

Warwick Castlo was once the liahltntion and stronghold of the famous Richard Neville, Karl of Warwick, commonly known as the " King-maker." This Karl Is the most prominent oharaotcr In Shakspeare's play of Ilenry VI. Ills dying speech on the battle fie'd of Rarnet is a gem of pootio beauty : * Thus yields the Codar to tho axu's edge, Whoie arms gave shelter to the princely eagle," Ac., Ac.? Ykird Part Henry Vf. Ifurac, th a historian, speaks of this nobleman as " tho groatcst, as well as the last ?f those mighty barons who formerly overawed the crown." His character is also powerfully portrayed by Ttulurer. in his admirable re roaneo, " The Last of the Barons." This magnificent castlo is well kopt up and usod as a residence by the present Karl of. Warwick ; but, luckily for me, tbia nohlcraan and hia family were abaenl wh?n I war there, giving me tho opportunity which Tdeaired of taking a peep at the Inaide of their princely palace Viaitora are only admitted to tho outworks, while tho family are at home. The Caatle stands on a rock which ia washed by the waters of the riror Avon. Ita foundation was laid in tho year 915. The approach to the Castlo ia through on arched gateway, (covering tho porter's lodge,) and a winding passage cut in the solid rock. At tho ex'remity e( tbia passage, stand the two largor towers, that > on the loft hand named " Cessnr's Tower,'' ! the other, on the right hand, " Uuy'a Tower," boing colled after the redoubtable champion, Quy of Warwick. Visitors are allowed to ascend to tho top of this frowning tortrcss, a priv'lcgo which I gladly, but aomowbat slow* ly (the height from jtaso to battlcinonU being 130 feci) availed myself of. Iuitials, names, and varions devices nro cut and scrapod in relief upon the atone walls of tho old rooms therein ; tho work, no doubt, of many poer wretches who sought, in ?nch occupation, a relief from the wearismawt hoart-sickncM of prison existence. The viow from the battlements well rcpnys a visitor who has good lungs for Hie- exurtion of climbing up a narrow winding staircase, of 1"0 steps. Ci?sai"?

A number of persons wero ready to b* sbown with mo through tho interior. Wo wore admitted to the Croat lloll, which is the first of n suite of splendid apartments, presenting a charming vista, 11f) yds. in oxtont.

Over the fire-place i* a pair of antlers, measuring 8} feet between the tips.

Along tho waiuseott of the ball (s arranged a beautiful collection of ancient armor and weapons. From the open window, I beheld the "gently flowing Avon" 110 feet below. Looking Irom this hall down a long, arched passage, which lends to the Chapel, ono socs n splendid equestrian picture j ( of King Charles I, painted by Vandyke.

Tho " Kenrlworth Bnffot," made of a largo oak tree from tho gmuuds of Kenilworth Castle, is the perfection of wood-oarving. The work on tho centre represents Queen Elisabeth In state, entering the Castle, and on one side. Amy Robsart, when discovered by the Queen in the grotto; the other side, the Karl Of! Leicester, confessing to tbo Queen bis tnnrrlage. This elegant work of art, which cost i twelve hundred pounds, was a wedding pro- ! sent to the Karl, who has boon married about ! 12 years.

Soecral of tliaso matchless gems are from the pencil of Uuido, Tbo splendor of al' the other rooms is, howovor, thrown into the shade by the indescribable magnifiocnco of the Gilt Drawing Room. The wainscot and ceiling of this apartment are adorned with gold, in the most gorgeous and expensive style; and the cbimney-picce, which is exquisite in j design and finish, holds numerous antique , and beautiful vases and bronze ft/VIIres finis. paintings in this apartment are of immense ' value.
