the time of the Reformation, and decorated with “‘ orphreys” or embroidery, 
representing the Crucifixion and figures of Saints; amongst which the in- 
_seription ‘ Orate pro anima Johann. Baldwini,” is still traceable. Remains

By the Rr. Hon. Lavy Hersert :— 
A very finely executed painting of Mary Sidney, Countess of Pembroke, 
by Mare Garrard. Also a beautiful miniature of Sir Philip Sidney, by Isaac 
Oliver, from Nonsuch, sold at Lord Liverpool’s sale to Mr. Capon, whence it 
came into the possession of Catharine Countess of Pembroke, &c. A lock of 
“Queen Elizabeth’s hair given to Sir Philip Sidney ‘‘ by her Majesty’s owne 
faire hands,” in 1573; found ina copy of the ‘‘ Arcadia” at Wilton House, 
together with a memorandum and a verse composed by Sir Philip on the occa- 
sion. A bowl of bright yellow metal found at Wilton a few years since, 
during excavations for sewerage. Attached to the rim are four rings (as if 
‘for suspension), secured by staples terminating in the heads of animals. The 
‘workmanship is apparently as early as the 1lth century. Vessels of this 
description have been found with interments of the Anglo Saxon period. 
Dr. Rock considers it probable that this is one of the Anglo Saxon Gabate, 
or vessels suspended in churches, often mentioned amongst rare and precious 
gifts to the churches in Rome and elsewhere, in early times. It was dug up 
‘near the site of the residence of the Anglo Saxon Kings, at Wilton, and may 
have belonged to a church which existed near the spot before the Norman 
Conquest.
