How Queen Victoria was called to the
Throne..
• On the 21st of June, three and thirty
year ago, the reign of, the present Sover-
eign of England began. Shortly after two
• o'clock in the issorning of the 20th of June;
1837, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and
the Lord Chamberlain left Windsor for •
Kensington Palace, where the Princess Via -
tori was residing with her mother, to in-
form her Royal Highness of the King's
death.. They reached Kensington Palace
about five, and, with some difficulty, rOused
the porter at ,the gate. This functionary,
apparently ignorant of the rank of the dis-
tinguished visitors, and knowingtnothing of
the bualness upon which • they had come,
kept them waiting for some time in the
court yard, and then turned them into one
of the lower rooms, where they. a emained
until, ringing the bell, the Lord Chamber-
lain desired the attention of the; Princess
inform her royal highness that they request
ed an audience on business of importance.
- After another delay, and anothei. ringing-
ing to enquire the cause, the attendant was
summoned. who stated that the Princess
• was in such a sweet sleep that -she could'no
venture toi disturb her. The Arch bishop o
Canterbury gravely replied :--" We • tkr
'come to the Queers on business of State,an
even her sleep must give way to that 1" I
did, and in a few minutes Her Majest
came into the room in a loose white dress
and shawl,her hair faJling over herashoul
ders, her feet in slippers, team in her eyes
but perfectly collected and dignified.: Lor
Melbourne was immediately. sent for, and
Privy Council was ordered to assemble a
Kensington at eleven o'clock in the fore
noon. At that hour the Queen, with th
Duchess of Kent, entered the Council
Chamber, and the Lord Chancellor admin
istered to her majesty the usual oaths, bind
ing her to govern the kingdom accordin
to its laws and customs. 'She first receive
the homage of her uncles, the Dukes o
Cumberland and Sussex, the Queen, wit
admirable grace, rising from her seat an
preventing them from kneel:rig. Th la cabi
net ministers and privy councilors then too
the bath of allegiance anct supremacy-th
former surrendering their seals of office
Which her majesty returned, and the minis
terg kigsed her hand on te-appointment. A
• declaration was drawn up and signed. by al
present, acknowledging faith and constan
obedience to "our only lawful and rigntfu
liege Lady Victori, by the Gtace of Goc
Queen of the United Kingdom of Grea
Britain and 'Ireland, Defender .of the Faith.'
The Queen then spoke to the following ef
feet :-
.
"The severe 'and afflicting loss which the
nation has sustained by the death of my be
loved uncle has devolved upon me the duty
of administerir the government of this
empire. This awful responsibility is im-
posed upon me so euddenly, and at so. early
-a period of my life, that 1 should feel my-
self utterly oppressed hy the burden, -were
net supported by the hope that Divine
Providence, which has Cailed me to this
work, will give me etrength for its perform-
ance, and that, I shall find in the purity of
intentions, and in my zeal for the public
welfare, those resources which usuallay be-
long to a more mature age and a longer ex-
perierroe1 place my firm reliance upon
the wisdom of Parliament, and upon the
loyalty arrd affection of my people. I es-
teem it, also, EL:peculiar advantage ifhat I
suceed to a sovereign _whose constant re-
gaard to the rights and liberties of his sub-
jects, and whose desire to promote the ame-
lioration of the laws and institn dons of the,
country, have rendered his name the object
of general attachment and veneration. Edu-
cated in England, under the tender and
enlightened case of au affectionate mother,
I have learned from my infancy to respect
and love the constitution. of my native
country. It Will .be my unceasing study.to
s maintain the reformed religion asby law
established, securmg at the same time to,
all the full enjoyment (if rel,ous liberty,
and 1 shall steadily proteat the rights, and
prornote, to the utmost of power, the hapni-
T,
ness andiwel fare of all.classes of my people's"
A generation has paaseetactiy since de
words were uttered, eight Parliaments have,
been called to the counsels. or the So pi
and'tweIve Ministries have ruled in Down-
ing street. A broad, .the Continent al thrones,
from the vast empire of B.usaia, to the
smallest of the Gerald= grand duchies, have
changed thir occuptints. Amid the stormy
times of conflict and revolutioa in tEnropP,
the Throne of the Queen of England h as re-
mained unshaken, for the loyalty and ;life°
tion of her subjects have been its basis.
Amid the strife of contending parties at
home, and throughout the thirty dye° years
whicli separate the Premiership of Loi'
Melbourne from that of Mr. Gladstone,
QueenVietoria haS ever fulfilled the d tt lea ef
a constitutional monarch, piaeing her " firm
reliance upon the wisdom. of Pa rli'On en t,"
and never failing to givel effect to the ex-
pressed wishes of her people. --0117ercJ6 *Her-

The Tombs of Canterbury. -
It is hardly an abrupt transition from the
bishops to the tondre in can ter bury, co)i-
eel ning which I gather m uch inti es tin g
matter from the venerable Canon. .A m cag
them is that of Henry IV. (1413), and of
his second wife Joan ofNavarre, who out-
,
lived him by twenty-four years. Here he
was brought from France at his dying re-
quest The told Yorkist story, that only
the coffin was entombed hero -the kinds
body laving, been thrown iiito the sea, as a
kind ofJonale to produce a calm (which, of
course, followed) -led to a curious scene
here home thirty years ego. It NVIIR resa'v-
ed to open the tomb. The result is given
in the notes of one of the church dignitaries
preeent 'on the occasion, which are so can i-
ouS that I reproduce them here :
"On removing a portion of . the, rriarbl
Pavement at thewesternend of the mom'
merit, it Was found to have been laid o
rubbish, -composed oflime-dust, small pieces
of Caen stone, and a few pieces of flints,
among which were found two or three piec-
es of decayed stuff, or silk (perhaps portions
Of the cloth of gold which covered the coffin),
and adso a piece of leather.. When the rub-
bish was eieared away, we came to what ap
- peared to be the lid of a, wooden case, o
very yucle form and constructien, which the
stirveyor at once pronounced- to be a coffin.
It lay oast and west, projecting beyond the
monument towards the west for about taie
third of its length. Upon it, to the east,
and; entirely within the =raiment, lay a
leaden coffin without any wooden ease, of
inueh smaller size and very singular shape,
being formed by bending one sheet of lead
over another.; and' soldering them at the
junetions. This coffin was supposed to con
tam the remaliiis of Queen Joan, and was
not disturbed. Not being able to take off
the lid Of the large coffin, as a great'portion
of its length was under the tomb, and be-
ing unwilling to move the alabaster monu-
ment for: the purpose of getting at it, it was
decided to saw through the.lid about three
feet from. What was supposed to be the head
of the coffin. And this being done, the
piece of wood was carefully removed, and
found- to be elm, very coarsely worked,
about an inch and a half thick, and perfect-
ly sound, Immediately ander this elm
boaid wa a quantity of hay bands filling
the coffin, and upon the surface of them
lay a very rude small cross, formed by
merely tying two twigs together. This fell
to pieces on being.' removed. When the
hay bands, whieh wore very sound and per-
fect, were removed, we found a leaden caae
or .coffin, moulded in some degi'ee to the
shape of a human figure ; and it was at once
evident that this had never been disturbed,
but lay as it was originally deposited, though
it may be difficult to conjecture -why it was
placed in a case so rude and unsightly, and
so much too large for it that the hay bands
appeared to have been used to keep it
steady. In •order to ascertain what was
contained in this leaden case, it became neo
cesSary to !saw through a portion of Isnd
in tlsis manner au oval piece of le -Ada about
seven inches long :Laid four inches over at
the sii.dest part of it, ',vas carefully rearoved,
under his we found wiappera which seem-
ed to be of leather, end afterward proved to
have been folded five tiines round the body.
The [material was firm' in its texture, very
moist, of a -deep lirOWn color, and earthy
smell. -These wrappers were cut through
and lifted off, when, to the astonishment of
all prssent, the face of the desreasedling was
seen in complete preservation -the nose
elevated, the cartilage even remaining,
though, onithe admission of ;lc air, it sunk
.rapidly -1
way, au( had entiiely disappeAred
k
before -tkel eicamivation was finished. The
skin of the chin was entire, of the eonsist-
encey and thickness of the upper leather of
a shoe, brown and moist ; the beard thick
and matted, of a deep russet color. The
jaws were perfeet, anal all the teeth in t,hem
except one fore -tooth, which had probably
been lost during the king's life. The open-
ing of the lead was not large enough to ex
pose the whole of the feature, aud we did
not examine the eyes or forehead. But the
surveyor slatted that, when he introduced
his fingers under the wrappers to remove
tIcen4 he distinctly felt the orbits of the
eyes prominent in their' sockets. The flesh
irpon the nae was moist, clammy, and Of the
same brown cblor as every other part of the
face. Having thus .-iscertained that .the
bock-) of the king was Ictually deposited' in
the tomb; '4.ad that it had never been dis•
turbed, the wrappers were laid again upon
the face, the lead drawn back over them,

ed in, a* the marble pavement replaced_

if to make 'room for the hands, that they
might be'elevated as in prayer."
