THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH TI . I PLE SHEET PHIL ADELPHIA, MONDAY, DECTOIDER 21, 1868. HISTORIC ClIKISTMASES IN ENGLAND. From the London Quiver. Yule tide In the year 100G wm nola happy ono for tho EiirIisIi. Harold, the king, hid. I;i11mi but a few weeks before. In t!ie one great battle on which lie staked Lis crown, and his people had found out 1n the intetim what it was to have a Norman conqueror for their master. They were yet to h am, as learn they did by many a bitter Ici-fon, how powerless they were to throw off the yoke that conqueror hid placed upon them. They wire stuuned by the shock "of Harold's overthrow; they could cot resize their lose; and when they were called upon to attend the coronation of the new kiug they obeyed it a it wero meclinnicnlly, not wcopulzimr the lul' significance of tho act. The day was Christ inas Day. The scene of the coronation was Westminster Abbey, and there was gathered u pplendid bund of tlio.e hardy meubeloiv whom the princes" of theContiiiC'it bad bowed down, and who now presented Uiennelvcs in I'nt'laud Deenuse thc.y f mini thniU selves crfiu.ped in their duchy of Hormaudy, and because the rich island of Britain ofl'ercd attractions perfectly irresistible to men wLo wcie conquerors by Datum. William, aware of the imp 'fiance of the rite of coronation in the eyes of a supers. Hious people, who believed that Divine authority was conveyed by the anoiutii oil, hastened to be crowned before the English bhould have recoveied from the ntun niun t-ilects ot the battle ol Hastings To gunrJ against any violent expression of national ill will'whicb in it; lit, bur at forth on so signal an occasion o( triumph, William staticucd a nu li ber of cliOM ii men in the neighborhood of the abbey, the building itself btiii a'.so thronged With his friends and supporters. Some Emilia U mpu were present, but not in tm', and these weie father sight-seers, Ulers, men who might nave ocen anywnere to sec any thiuf.', than representatives of the nation One representative man there was, in deed, At'red, Archbishop of York, who, in the abst-ucs of S igMitd, the suspended primate., was to crown tue new kins; but he wa3 there lather because ho must thuu baeauie he would, and was iiille more thau a tool in the kandt of the sovereign. The generality of thu English remained at Lome, sad ana he ivy, and the (Joiitjueior, doubting what precisely ittcir temper might be, was the least bit anxious, though he rt-lied upon his soldiers to repress nay ln)st'.I deiix,ii8iraliou. Tue ceremony pro ceeded, umi the Uisuop ol Cunstitieo a-iked tut: Normans, the Archbishop oC Vork the English, whether they would have William lor lUeir king. The people answered with an acclaim so loud that the t-ound ul it wns heatd outside the . abbej, and the soldierc, supposing, or rather feigning lo believe, that the tumult was caused bv an attack on tue inormaus w it. bin tnecuurcn. forthwith set upon the urtouVmliii? people of ' Westminster, flew many of tiiem, and burned aid plundeied many a house before they could rje stopped. iue b.iiii;s w ucu already pre vailed in.e nglaud that Christmas Day was heicht cned into sorrow when the pe jple saw, by woiul xpeiience, the wau.on kiurt of spirit tnat had found its way into the scat ot government. ' Auotucr Christmas, two years afterwards, was to be btill more doleful to the Britous. The people ot tie northern counties, taking advan tage of the oisatlection ot some poweriul Aor- iuan barons, rose in arms, with the iutontiou ot throwing oil the Norman joku. Ihey surprised several gairisous, and put them- to iho sword, . and in a few days tho whole ot the open couuiry was in their hands as lar south as the Huiuber. William matched in person against them, and hav'ng diivru in tlie British troops upon their supports north of York, kept bis Curistuias in mat city, to the great, uisist of the poopie, who tou fluently hoped that the severity of ilu Whiter would compel him toiftiiiutoths south ward. The thouglit tht William matured at York at this feason ol "pence on eartn and goo 1 wiil towards men," wns how te itight best ex terminate the relractory north aien. As soon as the Uhristu-as iestivitics were over, lie parcelled out his army in'.o what would now be calUt , flying c.jJuwns, and gavn orders that the w hole couuiry on the western side of Kng land, bctw ecu the cities ot York and Durham, fchould be laid wate, and luat neither niiin, woman, nor child bhould be tpated. llo grimly calculated that those who might escape the swords of the soldiers would fall a prey to the inclemency ot the season; and, that tho punisn nieut of the insurgents might be the more ellectual, extending beyond the present into the future, he fiincted that tKtil as well as man thould be destrovtd, together with all imple ments ot hut-bun dry; ilint not a house should be left fctandiiie, and thnt blank deiolation should reign supreme. These orders were carried oat with an exactitude that ui'ght have pleased a fiend; the lace of nature was changed bet ween the Ouse and the Scottish border': a hundred thousand meu, women, and children perished by sword, famine, disease, or climate, and a mark ws set that Christmas on the counties ot theiionh which it took more than a hundred years wholly to efface. Well miahLihe people be excused for samp, us they did say after wards, that "Chri.it and His saiuls slept.''' It was on Christmas Day. in the year 1170, that Thomas aUecket, the Urst Enulisunmn who had been promoted to any gre it orlice since the conquest, uscetiCed the pulpit ot bis cathedral church ul Canterbury, and preached whit may be described as Ji a own J uncial sermon, lie alluden, in terms of iiroacu and indignation, to the mi worthy treatment to which he had been subjccti d, and pjooueHed tnat the thir-t ct his enemies lor tits b!ood would soon he blakid.

Ciirmimas seems to have been, hlstorlcillv fpeakinir, a season in which statesmen and o'hers wlio fousht and txrcised thalr bodits during the rest of tue year, doliberated as to wbat tliey Fliould do next; a season in wmcn kiiiL's who wcrs eoing to war sat down an t counted Hie cost, and in which any light work ol siate, whether lor sood or tor evil, was taten in tiano. Winter was formerly a time when war censes; opposed armies went into wmtsr quarters; and the commander on eitner stuo went nome to enjoy themselves, and to set rtndy trcsh means ot attack against the utxt spring. Curistuias was also a season when peo.de In high places were likely, if at auy time, to be oil their guard; and we find, accordingly, tnat not a few of tie state villanics which have besu recorded assassinations of princes, ol big men, plots of one sort and another uavo had their denoue ment at or about Christmas. As an example in support of the statement lhat any light, unwarlike work was done at ihu time, it may be mentioned that It was a fortnight before Christmas, in the year 1'264, that tSimou de Blouttort sent out writs in the King'3 mime, convoking the first English Pailtameut. lie hud done his active, out-of-door work for tue jeai; ai d, as the King and I'rinee of Wales were sa'ely in lus power, and the weather did not admit ol his chafing nny of his niiniurous livals in the lield, ne stayed In London and thought over his iiexi move. Happily the idea pte.-eiited itselt to his mind, that, if he wished to s cure the nation in the enjoyment of tho io bem-ftta which his rower had wou for it, t.'ie best way to do so would bo ti enil the nation into council, and to btrcugihcu his own power by drawing afresh upon the sjurce ot it the will ot the' people. And tuna the Ctinstmas ol the j car 12 C 4 i jusily great iu the fact that then tmt the people ot Em;. and Wii'o called upon to s'ate how they would be governed, and .o come, by Iheii repiesentitives, to Londou, therj to oceide what t-hoult and what should not be law. Hichnrd II, ' ThfRklppliiR king wlio Rmdlfl up nni down, VilL snide, w Jt-s.i-rs and m-li liuviu wits Hi:on ku:d.'il an, I t on buiii'U," v as very extravagant in his mode of kceninir Christmas, and is said not only lo have been j roiligitl in resi f.ct of his own dress and equip ment, but to have borne the daily expense of ten thousand men lecdiug ut his cost during the w hole festival. A plot, which was discovered only by acci dent, proved nearly fatnl to Richard's sup planter, on bis tirit Christmas after coming to the throne. The Bails ot Huntingdon, Kent, Surrey, and Rutland, who iiai been lavorites of the late king, and who were, by consequence, iu disfavor of Ileury, conspired to teize the king at Windsor Castle, where he was to tpcud Christn as, aud to murder him under pretense of jousting. Everything was arranged, the time dn w nenr.aud the kiue kne'V nothing ot the danger that threatened him till accident revealed it to bun a tew oays utter Chtistmas Day. One of the conspirators wrote to the Karl of It n laud, in Condon, to remind him of his engage ment; ihe letter got into the hands of the Duke ol Ycrk, Rutland s father, who instantly sent it, With his son, to the lues. Ileury would not believe ths uetrs, till the Mayor of Loudon, having got scent of the same thing, cume iu haste to'Windsor, and prevailed upon Henry to go back with him to London. Scarcely liad they got clear ot. tue town ere the conspirators, ignorant ef tho Enil ot Rjtli.nd's capture, cauiu to the castle, which they occuuiea with tour bandied men. aud expressed great chagrin at the kings escape. The heads ot the leaders were toon garnishing the gates of the principal tow ira ot England; but the tniritot conspiracy survived, tor in u tew months' time we read that 'there was loan i iu the king's bedclothes an yiou with 3 sharpe p kes, s'cauer and roand, .-tat ding i:ptght , la'.d there by tome traytor, v. when the kmg should have laid mm doune, ht might have thrust himst lfe upon them." It was at C hri.-tmus time, sixteen years later, that .Sir John OlJeastle, Lord (Jobiiam, was hung in chains over a slov tire, kindled on t Lie sijOI where 6'. tilles-iu-lue-i'itl 1 now stands, and burned to death, as a punishment for the compound crimes of heresy and treason. Darin; the Christmas holidays, too, in the year 1384, Whether on the 21t or 28th i eceniber there is a little cloi.bt, died John Wickktl'e, the llist br.uht light ot the Ke.'orma'iou. see now ail tnemy could wri'.e ot him. hov an historian contemporary with Wickli'Ve, and the bcot of those whose wri'iugs have co ne, down to us, ecu d be;i arried away mto violence ot language, and into distortion ot natural lads, through lUi agency of religious prejudice. Thus writes Thomas Walstngham, chronicler and men k ot H. Alba i's: "tin the day ot f-t.

His mouth, which had spoken monstrous things neaiust God and His saints, and the Church, muerubly distorted from its place, exhibited a mt ctttcle horrible to beholders." A hundred and thirty-six years later, by which time the abuses and corruptions against winch WicklifJe had lifted up his voice so boldly had eaikered and lotted the vtry heart ot the Church, Martin Luther, a worthy iepreentaive ri the great tnglish reformer, solemnized his Ci ri-tmas by burning publicly, m tue market place at Wittenberg (10th December, 1520), the pai al bull which authorized the sale ol pardons tor bins committed aud to be toniuiittud.

The spirit ai d isboeidtlons ot ihe season are marked upon tl eii luces; teuipeniiL' the not zeal w'lMi Which the running words ol Lanptou's i lo. queuce had, ut previous meetings, inocalsted thtui. H had been "ag-ped that a'ler tle na tiMty ol our Lord they ehoti'd come toll)" king in a body, to d. sire a conuriiin'.ion of the liber ties before meutioiied, and that in the me iu time thpy were to provide themselves wi'.h Loues and afm In the like r.iiimer, that if the , king thould pei chance break throu that i which l.ehad speciulljr sworn ( which titer well brlievea). nud recoil bv reii'ou of li s duplicity, they would instantly, by cupttiring his eas'.'.cs, compel him to pive them uitisiaelion."

With such thoughts the dyiiig king o cupied bin, selt on bis la-t ChiUlrua Day. As soon us the holidays were over, the Earl of tirrry, who, with his father, th Duke of Sor folk, hud been ulicaily aliened, win put upon his trial on a trumpery l harueof hlirh treason, in which the principal endence tt';uinsi him, Mid the c v in nee on v.

On the itill ol Jar li ny, 1.717, ihe ritil w is belli aded, Atraiutt the duke, v. hose long life bad been spent In tbe discharge of most faithful service of all kinds to tho king, It was dlllicalt to get oven such slight evidence as had over thrown his son. Upon ovideuce which could not bare stood amoment's investigation in a law court, a bill of attainder was framed, Henry being afraid lest ihe forms of a'legal trial might delay his chance of slaughter till it was too late. The k lug was too ill lo give his asnt to the bill, which was hurried through l'arliauient with disgraceful haste, and the royal nsstnt was fiven by a commission which it is doubtful if. lenry ever signed. This was done on tho 27th of January, when Henry was at bis last gasp, and so indecent was the behavior of those who would please the tyrant, and who feared Xin Howards an order was forthwith seut to the lieutcD&ut ot the.Toavr to execute his prisoner iiext morning. 1' re next morning came Henry was oend, and the lieutenant, doubting wh t he should do under these circumstances, de layed, and the li!e of the poor bereaved duke wus saved. The la-t Chri-trwis pent by Henry's daughter llinbeiii wn a sad contrest to tne many rwppy ones which had jieceuedlt. The lireat (pteea had outlived her popularity, and wa lalleu into a melancholy tiom which nothing seemed ab'e io rouse her. Mse had never been the sam-i woman since thedenth ot Ksiex; "she sat'5 wuole das nj heii 'lf', uiduluiri!! in the mostrl iomy relleelioiis; every rumor arltted Iter with iieY and imiicinitry tenors"; she could h trdly be persuadi (I to take any nourishment, and her temper la came such 'as to render their daily service almost unbearable to her a I tend ants. 1 found her," says tsr John Harrington, who wns allowed to see her at Christmas, Did.', "in a most pitiable state. .She bde the AicobiMiop ask me it i had seen ivrone. i replied wtin reverence that I had seen him with the Lord Deputy (Kssex). sjiiu looked up, witu much clioler aud griel in her coiiu'eii.iucc, aud said, 'O, now it niiniklh me that you was one who saw tins man elsewhere,' una herett ue dropped a tear and smote her bosom." The shaue ot the Eari.ot Esex seemed to haunt her perpetually: so much so, that at the end ot her last illness, which begau at thij time, she would not stay in bed, and she answered the entrea ties ol the Lord Admiral that she would reiurn to her couch, by saying that if hu had seen what she taw there, lie would never make the request. Recollections, too, of the sad wider of the sad leUer which she had received at Christmas sixteen ye-ira betore might have beeu present to her mind tne letter in w hich Alary Queen of bcots made her lour la-1 requests of her cousin of Englaud, and winch drew tears, but no mercy, from that cousin's heatt. Thejc thoughts, and others like them, freited the mind ot tue great queen from Christmas time till Easter, when she pa-sod away, and gave place to him of whom the Duke ot kully wittily said, referring to Irs scholastic srquueuieuts and his .kingship, that he was "tne widest fool in Europe.' One Christmas in his relgo the Christmas of 10J1 ia too remarkable lo be passed unnoticed. Tsere had been for mauy months a violent quarrel between the Kti g and the House of Commons, in the course ol which James hid given vent to those hlghllown, impracticable nit as of his upon the relation ol king to people, which, put in practice by him and his sou, brougnt about the civil war. before sepaiating lor the Christmas holidays, the House of Com mons summed up all the points of the contro versy, aud eutered a solemn protest upou its journals against all the violent language aud ihe violent acts made use of and committed by the king. The protest was the inauly prototype ot the Crnd Remonstrance, presented a tew jeai- later to Charles I, and a.serted that "the liberties and jurisdictions of Eaiiiainent are the ancient and undoubted birthriarht and inherit ance of the subjects of Englaud,"' with much liorctotliesamepiiroj.se-. Having discharged this clu'y, the niotnbers went to their homes lor the holidays, and James, hi-ar'mg what had been vwi'ten, M-nt tor the journal, and, wilh his on hand, tore on1, the puje iu the presence ot his council. In a few years the spiiit which prompted such conduct bore trait, and wo find at the end of a quarter ot a century irom this time, Curistmas coming round as a day appointed by "the Houses" for a day of 'Tasting aud public humili ation," on account of the great straits to which the nation was brought. We find within that time mi Archbl.hop of Canterbury (Laud) kteping Christmas with a de ith-warruut tor his companion; and wo rind the king himself (Charles I) spending his last cheerless Christ mus at Windsor, a mouth before his ex-cutiou, iu such toriowful wise tint we must needs pity him. A priioni r, in daily apprehension of the evil that actually did overtake him, insulted by his guard, deprived of the soUoj ot his family, utteily broken and ctut dowu, the cause for which he had sUivcii irteirievablv lo-t, and bis conscience whispering to him bitter things, especially in connection with ihe name of the haul of Siiiiliord, no wonder it the poor man ft It he was almost forsaken by Cod, to whom, let us believe, lie nevertheless drew near, and found that comfort which tkey ever lind who truly sick Him. Had the capthe monarch ben gifted with foiesiht to peer into the lulure, ho might have seer., eleven years onward, a s'gut which had gOLe fur lo console him tor the evil plight in which he was. He might have seen (leueral Slunk nt Christmas, 1G39, preparing to march his noithctu army ou London, bending his cueigies to the task of undoing the wors: so laboriously accomplished by l'rotcctor Crom well, "let, had his visivin beeu extended still moie, he would have seen a sight to bring all ins feeling-' oi desolation back again.
