Warwick. Tow* aad Castle.
X wax- infomed white on the train from
*. KcttQwoHn. t)|p su minor assises woro in
hm)oA at Warwick, and that I mi'jkt fall U
{let fodgipgsi bwt,, wishing much to tee the
Castle, I determined to try my look there, at
hoy rate, rather than to go on to Leamington,
aa X waa atlriwi to do. 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.
Near hia brad ia a swan, and a boar and grlf6n
at bla foet. Brass boa;)*, forming a sort of
hearse, encircle tho principal figuro. The
si4d> of tbe tomb aro ornamented with niches,
Meat beautifully cut, nnd on eh containing a
ibti uiau flguru. (supposed to represent members
ut tiio Karl's fswnfiy.) Tbeae figure* are
(formed of petal, an J gilded. The Insignia of
/'the bear and ragged appears at inter?

a prosy Us*?<<-'i?a, oatojling the character,
a ad setting forth in epitaphie array, tho noble

a dead language, it may pars with many living
for truth.
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"? Tower, on tho left hand, is n it
open to inspection, but one may cuter ths
gloomy dnogeew mukr it, if ho will; and,
while beholding it, tnuss upon " man's great
inhumanity to man." This prison, which ha*
echoed the duspalring sighs nnd gr >ans o'
tnany a wretched boing, has only ono narr >w
window, or loop hole, by which tho light or
hearon can piurcO its dreadful gloom Tliank
Cod, for UU groat first creation?light!
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.
In this hull, which is (12 t>v 40 feet, unit beau- I
tlfuHj duc>.rated nbovo, below, cud around, are
hundreds of curiosties, vert few of wliioh I had
time to note down. Over the fire-place i* a
pair of antlers, measuring 8} feet between the
tips. Here I saw a gun nearly 300 years old
having revolving chambers almost indention!
with Colt's well-known weapons ; a helmet
worn by Oliver Cromwell, and a leather doublet,
spotted with the blood of Lord Lirooko, a
general in the Parliamentary army, who was
killed in 101.1. 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. The
monarch bestrides a noble grey ebargor ami j (
at bis sldo standa an attendant who l-ears bla j
mastcr'a helmet., Tho effect of tho picture, aa j
seen through this long gallery ia life-like.?
Cur guide informed ua tliut Sir Joshua Reynolds
offered 500 guineas for this picture.
Tho Orent Diuing Room contains a costly
table, formed of precious stones, among whieli
are tho amethyst, onyx, sardonyx, agate,
lapis-laxuli, Ac., Ac.
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. The room is further adorned with '
elegant painting', etc. Next in tbo rango is !
tho Rod Drawing Room, which contains a '
largo number of exquisito paintings by Rom- '
brant, Vandyke, Rnphaelle, Rubens, Paul
Veronese and others, A table in this room |
was the property of the unfortunate Marie
Antoinette. The Cedur Drawing Room is '
superbly furnished with innumerable objects, '
charming for their antiquity and exceeding
beauty. 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. A full-length portrait of IgoatiiM |

or more, for tho pleasure I had received.
At tho door, our company separated, and
I soon pinked op another guido, who e*corte<l
me to the tho grcen-fionao, whoro I saw tlie
renowned Warwick Vnso, tho fame of which*
aa a work of Grecian Art, i* worlJ-wide. It
was found (a* may bo reraomherod) at the
bottom of a lako, near tho palace of soi&o
Emporor in tho vicinity of ltomo, in 1774. It i
w.i* purchased hy Sir Wm. Hamilton, then {
Kngliah Amhaaandor at Naples, who sold it to i
an nnecetorof the peosoni Karl of Warwick
A minute description of thia work of art
would be snperflnou*, as nioiMa and piettsrua
of It aro seen all over tho civilised world. It
la of wli Se inarhlo, 7 feet high, and the same in
diameter. In this green house I was remindoi
of tho L ?w Country, at lioinc, hy seeing
tho fan palm, (wliieh is .so common near the
Southern coast of Georgia and South Caro'inu.)
carefully cultivated as an cxokic.?
Within thu Castle ground* ar* several noble
spuciiuens of the " Cedar of Lahanon," which
is, iudeod.n uinguitieent troo. Tlio one* I saw
were, perhaps, Ttl feet high, or tnoro, and tho
trunk from 2a to 30 feet in circutnfcroncc at

trunk hoyisontully 40 to 50 foot, costing on
the ground a most delightful shade. "AM tho

Hut, oh. my conscience ! What a lot

Where kiugs aud nobles erst did reign,
And hie io? to the London train.

I hurriod away, only stopping for a moment
to see some rolios in the porter's lodge, the
greater part of which belonged to Guy of
Warwick, who mu:t hare bad uncommon
strength, to wear tho heavy armor here shown.

irodune* it as follows:
" When I 0?t s?v the critique on ' Little

I thought of a story 1 once heard of a man

that he had only done as he waa told ?
'Yea,' a?hl the old man, relenting, 'but
that wae a mighty big boo for eo email a

It occurred to the Doctor, as he states,
that the rrmerka of the rltiu, and notieee
