W. M. and will doubtless be consulted with pleasure and advantage by such readers as have access to that Volume. The actual discovery of the Gold Penny of Henry III. must have been highly gratifying to Dr. Pegge; and his acumen in determining the meaning of JAKU by arguments deduced from the Record in the Tower of this coinage, and the MS Chronicle of the City of London, thereby received a most satisfactory confirmation.

THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE,

For APRIL, 1813.

Mr. URBAN,

April 6. THE Charles Cup firms a louse HE recent discovery of the corpse

account of its interment in Windsor Castle, which appears in Fuller's "Church History." The particulars will now be found interesting; and the present discovery*, and the old narrative, may mutually throw light on each other. It has often been questioned whether the Royal corpse was actually there interred.

"The corpse of Charles I. embalmed and coffined in lead, was delivered to the care of two of his servants to be buried at Windsor. On the following day the Duke of Richmond, the Marquis of Hertford, and the Earls of Southampton and Lindsey, (others declining the service,) came to Windsor, and brought with them two votes, passed that morning in Parliament, which wholly committed the burial to the Duke of Richmond, provided the expence should not exceed 500 pounds.

"Coming into the Castle, they shewed their commission to the Governor, Col. Wichcot, desiring to inter the corpse according to the Common Prayer Book of the Church of England. But this was refused by the Governor, alledging, that it was improbable the Parliament would permit the use of what so solemnly they had abolished, and thus destroy their own act. The Lords attempted to prove that there was a difference between destroying their own act, and dispensing with it for a particular occasion: but the resolute Republican persisted in the negative.

"And now the Lords betook themselves to their sad employment. They resolved not to inter the corpse in the grave which was provided for it, but in a vault, if the Chapel afforded any. They searched for some time; and in vain seek one in Henry VIII's Chapel (where the tomb intended for him by Cardinal Wolsey lately stood), because all there was solid earth. Then, with * We forbear entering at present into the particulars of the recent discovery; as we shall be able in our next to ab stract the clear and accurate detail of Sir Henry Halford, EDIT

their feet, they tried the quire, to see if a sound would confess any hollowness therein: and at last, directed by one of the aged poor Knights, did light on a vault in the middle.

C

"It was altogether dark (as made in the midst of the quire), and an ordinary

man could not stand therein without

stooping, as not exceeding five feet in height. In the midst they discovered a leaden coffin, and a smaller one on the left side: there was just room to receive

the coffin of Charles. That the present contained Royal remains, appeared by the perfect pieces of purple ve.vet (the Regal habit) they found there; though some pieces of the same velvet were fox-tawny, and some coal-black, all the purple colour gone, but evidently originally of the same cloth, varying the colour as it met with more or less moisture as it lay in the ground. The lead coffin, being very thin, was at this time casually broken, and some yellow stuff, altogether scentless, like powder of gold, taken out of it (supposed to be some exsiccative gums for the embalment) the Duke caused to be put in again, and the coffin closed.

"The vault thus prepared, a sheet of lead was provided for the inscription. The letters the Duke himself did delineate, and a workman cut them out with a chissel. There was some debate whether the letters should be made in those concavities to be cut out, or in the solid lead betwixt them. The latter was agreed on, because such vacuities are subject to be soon filled up with dust, and render the inscription less legible, which was,

'KING CHARLES, 1648.'

"All things thus in readiness, the corpse was brought to the vault, borne by the soldiers of the garrison. Over it was thrown a black velvet hearse-cloth; the four corners the four Lords did sup-. port, The Bishop of London stood weeping by, to tender the only service he was permitted. Then was it deposited in silence and sorrow in the vacant place in that vault (the hearse-cloth being cast in after it), about 3 o'clock in the afternoon; and the Lords that night, though late, returned to London,”

The large and the lesser coffin found in the vault were supposed to be those
