"The Beauty of the Heavens."
NEW EDITION OF BURNS.
Published October 30, 1841, at the Tower.
The indefatigable Mr. Swallow has obligingly forwarded to us the following list of valuable relics, which were rescued from the "devouring element," during the late conflagration at the Tower:—
Half of the lid of a pot, inscribed—"Fox's Circassian Cream," and supposed to have belonged to Renard, the Spanish Ambassador at the Court of Queen Mary.
The handle of the warming-pan which was used for the bed of the young princes the night previous to their being smothered.
The bowl of the identical pipe with which the executioner of Guy Fawkes composed himself, after he had accomplished his unpleasant duty.
A portion of a bottle, which contained the liquid used to polish the Bluchers of Edward the Black Prince; part of the label, with the letters WAR——still in high preservation, and clearly indicating the determined resolution of that undaunted hero.
A tile, with the initials "W.R.," and which, it is judged from the caligraphy, belonged to the time of William Roof-us.
