ants BURG It CASTLE.
Eminternon,DeC. 16,1868.-One of the greatest
attractions of Edinburgh is its Castle, situated
upon a high precipitous hill, which appears as if
just made for the purpose, and which is entirely
covered with the castle buildings and barracks.
The architeCture is massive Much marred by the
barracks, but very impressive when viewed from
Prince's Street Gardens as it looms up in the air
on its craggy pmelpice, almost 460 feet abovo•the
level of the sea. The origin of Edinburgh Castle
Is unknown, but there'seems to be no doubt that
it is the'oldest'pert of pdleburgh, 'mid the
„n
tl
cicus around which the city has arisen. In the
Articles of Union between England and Scotland
it is ono of the castles to be kept_ fortified,
whateverlta strength Was before glinrkOaider
invented,it Is now a place of more imaginary than
real strength. Its history and romance are full of
interest, but when. Soo ,contOmPlate _it _lll_ its
present condition you are surprised at its. little-
IMES in comparison with the great irireitta in its
history and the mighty destinies which have been
determined by it.
It has•withstood its .seiges—bsen the scene of
mnrdera,, and treachery . end I ,witch-burnings
which. make our blood run cold evtrrf.to" think of.
Here Mary Queen tif 'Scrota givii birth to her Only
son. Queen .ISiargaret'd- chapel.. is • shown the
tourist, andf as she 11114d'41 the tenth century, it
carries, us back to that date. . ,
The'inost interesting room is the'Crown Room,
in which are deposited the regalia of Scotland'
—enablems of Scotland's ancient independence
and greatness. They cons'st of a Crown Sceptre
and sword pf State, to which, were_ added in De
cember, 1830, a golden collar of 'the Order of the
Garter d , with the tit..tieoteor badge`of the Order
of the Goner. presented by Queen Elizabeth to
James VI. of Scotland ; Coronation Ring of
Uhar.es 1., and 'the St. Et.ndrow,,,which. - a
medallion, with - a secretTopcning, under which is
placed a beautiful miniature of Queen Anne, of
Deumarko,.;
, . •
The Oaten Room, where theft 'ancient mike
are deposited, is a strong,vaulted apartmenewith
its windows wellsecuredbystrongkonstanchels,
and the entrance protected by. two .doors with
locks of-the strongest character, all undercharge
of a woman, who eXplains the hietory of each
article with much more animation and Interest
than is usually,donii•by attendants of this kind,
who have too over their story probably a hun
dred times daily. • • r - •
There ie a king hititorY to almost everything
you see in this country, and these emblems are
not without a history of the most interesting and
exciting character.. The Crown aatep back for its
origin to Robert- Bruce, after he had undis
puted sovereignty of Scotland, about 1364. It
then consisted of two circlets of gold, elegant y
wrought, and set with precious stones. It was
altered or closed over by two arche surmounted
by a ball, and on this .a cross, all of gold, and of
exquisite Workmanship, during'ithe reign of
James.V., •while he was hi France, in 1536.
Thet4th arllelq of the treaty °Like Union
state that the "crown, sceptre kc.,ahould be kept
in that part of the United Kingdom called Scot
land, and that they so ,remain in all time coin
ing." , But ,notwithstanding this, special clause,
it appears, that for political reasona, it was, con
sidered necessary to exclude them • from public
viewobecauseconneeted with so many galling,
and bindle recollectioias of past events. They
were, therefore, deposited in a chest in the Crown'
Roomlin 1707,,wherelthey remained until 1818,
when all these political reasons formithdraw
ing thim from public view had ceased to exist,
and they were again exposed in the position
in whictethek now-remain..
Tune has softened down the feelings these em
blems used to call up; to 'the lotefathers of Scot
land when they conveyed le. them the rennent
brance of Scotland's - lost' place ittneng, iddepen
dent nations—and these relics slibiald make them
now venerate twirl feel grateful fortthe gallantry of
these old-time people, who mate tamed with un
eubdued,e.oprage the liberties and independence
of Scotland through ten centuries of almost cease
lees war.
A commission..of ,ten gentlemen, appointed by
the Prince Regent,of .whomßir Walter Scott was
one, met February 4th„ 1818, and after reading
their names, entered- the. Crown Room, opened
the old chest, and found the regalia lying just as
they weredeposited more than a century before.
We will now leave the castle and retrace our
Eitepe down Cannongate street to Holyrood Palace
arm Abbey, which is situated in a plain between
Calton Hill and Arthur's Seat—two hills or moun
tains of considerable size—the latter 822 feet
high. The Abbey was founded by King David
First, in 1128. but since 1768 it has been a ruin.
The west front has still standing a square tower
of a finestyle of architecture, belonging to the first
pointed or early English style (from about 1170 to
1175.) The main doorway is a fine specimen of
a deeply recessed one, having eight shafts on
either side, with capitals composed of curiously
carved birds and grotesques, belonging to the
best years of this early English style. At the
further end of the middle aisles is a window iu a
good state of preservation and of recent date.
The whole ruin is very picturesque, and its
ancient tombs of Kings, Queens, and Poets and
Statesmen of Scotland, render it one of the most
interesting relics of Scotland's history.
The Palace of Holyrood was built by James IV.
and V., but so many changes have occurred as to
render it difficult to assign id either any
particular part. It is a large quadrangular
building, in is front flanked with double
castellated towers, giving it quite a military 'ap
pearance. Its southern wing is now fitted up for
Queens Victoria and known as the Queen's apart
ment, but open to the public. In the northern
wing he - shown Queen Mary's apartments, with
furnituriesaid to have been used by her. A gallery
of piettires containing portraits of 106 Scottish
Kings, by De Witt, who made theta all look alike
except a really fine one of Mary Queen of Scots.
One of the portraits is of Fergus Ist, who
reigned 380 years B. C., and is, of course, a very
truthful likeness.
The blood stain on the floor of Queen Mary's
rooms, said to be from Rizzo, when 'murdered
here in 1565, is shown to the credulous. But,
laying aside the portraits, Mary's relics and
Rizzo's blood stains, this place, like many others
in Edinburgh, is full of hallowed reralateencee of
Scottish royalty and history.
Here it, was that Margaret, daughter of Henry.
VIL, from whom descended the sovereigns of
Great Britain, married lin founder, James IV.,
and became its first mistress. Next was the
beautiful but sickly Princess Magdalene,daughter
of Franbis L, „ot France,,who only liyed - forty
days, when she was burned in the Alibey church.
It is said the national grief was so intense on the
death of this Queen, that the "mourning dress”
was generally adapted, the first instance of its
being worn in Scotland. Next was Mary of
onise, mother of Mary, Queen of Sects, and
second wife of James V... a r• •
Then Mary herself, the; Queen around whom
romance delightsto-linger—the,, woman what
ever her faults were, by varied , years of- im
prisonment and cruel death, expiated fully for
her early misfortunes, which were more of' the
heart than of the head. She had her epemiee and
.calumniators, but where is the woman who hadeO
many'friende and admirers? ' -
Her beautiful countenance has peered through
the day-dreams of some or Europe's mightiest
poets, and upon the canvass of some of her greet
, est artists.
Hero the (lark and misguided part of her life
was passed, her unfortunate marriages occurred,
and gay banquets wore given; but her chief an
noyance wee' Knox, who seemed determined to,
eonvert Seetland'a beautiful Queen, and whom she
so unsuccessfully attemptedlo banish from the
city.
Near Holyrood Palace; - opposite - the old gate
way, is the Sanctuary of liolyrood, formerly in
dicated by a cross, which, when touched by the
hand of a fugitive, declared him to be within the
city of refuge and not liable to arrest. This
sanctuary for insolvent debtors Is the only one
in all Scotland. and now extends to a greater part
of the Royal Park and Arthur's Seat. The re
cords of the Abbey Court are in existence only
from 1680—since Which time 7,042 debt Ors have
taken refuge, and during the last fourteen years
only' 274.. There are some very curious laws
In regard to this curious spot, and some
very laughable races arc told of 'by your
guide between officers of the law and panting
fueltivea, to gain this haven. Fugitives can leave
this retreat on Sundays and not be liable to

Sunday morning and eveuing, - having traveled
forty miles in going from and returning to his

Open-air street service is very common, and
crowds will gather, round a few people,who will

will be very small indeed. The Scotch men, and
women are' as - a class physically uninteresting,
being hard-featured, tall, with - large hands and

well, but not overfed as the Erigliah strong,

' A paper, in recounting the fact that the,Presi

without irony, that it Ike little loss than the Em
peror expends in a day.
Now one ought to be just to one's enemies. If
the Emperor enjoys a' civil list three hundred and
seventy times larger than the President of the
United States, he is committed to expenses much
more considerable. For instance, Napoleon 111
recruited a whole army and equipped a whole
navy for the conquest of Mexico, which neces
sarily demanded frightful sums. The President
of the 'United States, on the contrary, had not a
son to spend, since a gesture from him sufficed
to make Napoleon 111 recall his whole force, all
sail on. Then besides, the Emperor has old fa
vorites to pension, accomplices to fee, silences
to buy,. diamond crosses to distribute.
A Chaucer 'Window in Westminster
Abbey
A memorial of Chaucer has been set up in
Poet's Corner, in Westminster Abbey, imme
diately over his tomb. The design is in
tended to embody his intellectual labors4md
his position among his contemporaries. At
the base are the Canterbury Pilgrims, allow
ing the setting out from London and the ar
rival at Canterbury. The medallions above
represent Chaucer receiving a commission,
with others, in 1372, from King Edward 111.
to the Doge of Genoa, and his reception by
the latter. At the top the subjects are taken
from the poem entitled "The Flours and the
Leafe.''On the dexter side,dressed in w,hite,are
the Lady of the Leah and attendants; on the
sinister Ode is the Lady of the Floure,dressed
in green. In the tracery above, the portrait
of Chaucer occupies the centre, between that
of Edward 111. and Philippa his wife; below
them, GoWer, John of Gaunt; and above are
Wickliffe and Strode, his contemporaries. In
the borders are disposed arms. " At the base
of the window is the name "Geoffrey.
Chaucer, died A. D. 1400," and four lines se
lected from the poem entitled"Balade of Gode
Counsaile":
"Flee fro the press, and dwell with soth-fast
nesse.
Sallee unto thy good though It be small."

"That •thee is sent receyve in buzoinnesse;
The wrestling for this world asketh a fall."
This window is 'a brilliant piece of color,
and an interesting addition to the attractions

An Attempted Murder.
BOBTON. Wednesday, Dec. 30.—During the
night of July 10, 1866,.the broker's office of Geo.
H. Gooding, No. 16 State street, was robbed of
8610,000, and ever since that time the affair, has
remained a mystery until this evening, when the
following facts pertaining to the' robbery and
the arrest of the robbers were developed.
, In the beginning of July, 1866, Mr. Gooding
let all of his store 'to a' book 'firm except one
window. Augustus Penny was the man who
represented the book. firm, On the afterneon of
the 9th of July, Mr. Gooding, when he went
away, left carpenters employed by the book firm
hard at work Ain shelves &c. At 6 o'clock the
carpenters left,nut their shelves,,
'tit once sup-
plied by rogues disguise as carpenters, moaners
of the said book arm, and the work went on. •
IMV. Gooding% safe was in the ' back
centre of the • store. Angnstes' Penny
mounted a high platform which creased' the
door, so that it ,ecould be opened only, a few
inches. He wee ensibly engaged in white
washing, and Wh W en a stranger tried the door he
was told that no one could come in, that Mr.
Gooding had gone - home and - they were busy.
Another "carpenter" was busy on a screen which
shielded the left side of the store and the sate from
view. A third "carpenter" sawed wood violently
in the middle of the store to hide the making of
drills, and the other "carpenters" '`wore
wore exer
cising the drills on Mr. Gooding's-safe. In the
safe was 8510,000 in gold. When .Mr. Gooding
came to his store the next morningto found his
safe-door open and his money gone.
The broker put his case in the hands of detec
tives and he himself went Into the. haunts of
thieves, but he was told that the rogues had gone,
to Canada. He soon discovered that, five persons
were implicated. These were the parties arrested,
and two more men named Barton and Wilson.
two Engllehlhieves, fled to New York and had.
their share of the gold exchanged there by a
"knee." Learning afterward that some one had
noised the affair abroad; they decided that - the
"fence" had "Wowed." They followed him to
Philadelphia and found him in a bar-room. One
put his knee in the middle of the back of the sus
pected traitor and the other hold down the head
and cut the throat of the unfortunate man.
The "fence,". however, recovered, and his

Mr. Mama interrupted the case to state that Dr. 'Mit

Dr. Levis recalled, and the offer ma4le to show that
Wounds ouch as those found on the head of Mrs. Hill
could be made with a poker without bending it.
MT. Mann objected, as this was part orthe Common
wealth's ease, and Dr. Shapleigh had already given his
opinion upon that point, and Dr. Levis is called to give ex.
achy the same evidence.
Mr. Hagert said that this testimony applied to the
question not whether the poker inflicted the wounds,but
whether it could do so without bending it.
The Court permitted this branch of the question to be
given, for the subject of battm ing the poker was not part
of the Commonwealth's cam, but was brought out by the
defence.
Ds. Levis—l knew the wounds on Mre. HEN head: saw
hem at the disinterment
Question—Could or could not such wounds be inflicted
by a poker without the poker beingmateriaily misshapen
oribent?
Answer—l think eo; I conclude it from the fact that
much slighter inehumente hero done much more.
Mr. Mann—One moment Doctor! We object.
Question—Do you think it poseible to make all such
wounds Without changing the poker?
Answer—All Out the extensive fracture at the base of
the skull.

Question-W ouldn't the iron give a little when it came
witha skull?
Answer--I am sure it would not if it first struck the in
teguments, and especially if it first struck the hair and
any outside covering to the head.
Question-Do yo u find anything upon that poker to
show that it inflicted such wounds?
Anewer-Itis not fo'r•rue-t‘eay without evidence that
it did : I could,bend a poker over a skull by striking it kn
the middle If it was held by the middle and struck it

wee held in that way
A newer—You could.

Question by juror—Do you think that any iron rod that
would make an impression upon any other iron, would
make an impression upon a skull ?

".To the composers w to May fail to find - .their

that Dr. Max Lange's book was published six
years ago, and so before they had attained their
celebrity. ;

kins is about to be played at the Preea Club, /dr.
Eason agreeing to give the odds of the exchange
in every game. The mmtestr will, no doubt, be
unusually interesting.'

an extended notice next week,
We have just received Mr. Lbwenthare
