Thy pious paladins from Jordan's shore,
And all thy steel-clad barons are at rest;
Thy turrets sound to warden's tread no more,
Beneath their brow the dove hath hung her nest;
High on thy beams the harmless falcheon shines,
No stormy trumpet wakes thy deep repose,
Past are the days that on thy serried lines
Around thy walls, saw the portcullis close.

TOWN OF WARWICK.

The early, as well as the modern, History of Warwick has been so often given, that in a work like the present its re-production would be superfluous. It is our wish merely to guide the visitor to the numerous places of interest in the town and neighbourhood, and having guided him through the castle, shall proceed to describe the other places of interest in the town. The town is remarkably clean and healthy,—the houses are generally well-built and spacious. It has Meeting Houses for the several dissenters -For the Quakers and the Unitarians, in High Street; for the Independents, in Brook Street; for the Wesleyan Methodists, in Stand Street and at Emscote; and for the Baptists, on Back Hills. They are all plain and unpretending structures, and have nothing in their architecture or decorations that require separate notice; except the Baptist, which was repaired and its front plastered, in 1840 the name was then placed on the top of the building, together with the date, in large raised letters; the figure 8' has since been erased and a '6' inserted,if with a view to give it a name for antiquity, it is unworthily done by those who altered it and those who allow it to remain.

ST. PAUL'S.

A Chapel of Ease to St. Mary's Church has recently been erected, in the thickly-populated west end of the town, and dedicated to St. Paul. It is situated in Friar Street, near the spot formerly occupied by the House and Chapel of the Preaching or Black Friars. Curate :-The Rev. E. T. SMITH, A.M.
