l>ut partook of refresliment at tke house of the precentor—that now 
divided between Mr. Grray and Dr. Monk. It had been arranged 
that he should arrive on the morning of the 24th, but he made his 
appearance with seven noblemen and gentlemen late in the evening 
of the 23rd. The Lord Mayor had to send in aU haste for the 
Recorder and such of the Aldermen as could be got together, and 
the Duke and suite departed the same night for Ferrybridge. 
Notwithstanding the loyalty manifested by the Corporation, they 
did not escape the charge of disaffection. A story was circulated, 
that at the Lord Mayor’s dinner in 1747, some one, at the lower 
end of the table, pulling off his wig, gave as a toast, “ Here’s to 
him that has five shillings but wants a crown; ” and that another 
called to the musicians to play the tune of “the King shall enjoy 
his own again.” The Lord Mayor and Aldermen published a 
declaration that no such toast was given in their hearing, but only 
loyal ones, as “the King” and “the Archbishop.” The sharp 
crisis of the rebellion, and the military and legislative measures by 
which it was followed up, put an end to the chronic turbulence of 
the Highlanders. The Prince came to England again in 1750, but 
met with no encouragement from the Jacobites for a third rising. 
A discussion has lately taken place respecting the length of his 
stay. Earl Stanhope, on the authority of a conversation between 
him and the King of Sweden in 1783, reported to Horace Walpole 
by our envoy at Florence, makes him to have spent a fortnight in 
London. His own memoranda, recently published by Mr.Woodward, 
shew that he landed at Dover on Sept. 14, and re-embarked Sept. 
23. There can be no doubt that the latter is the correct account. 
Mar. 7.— Mr. Dallas read some “Notes on Specimens recently 
presented to the Museum.” 
Oct. 3.—The Pev. J. Kenrick read the following “Notice of 
an Inscribed Tablet found at Clementhorpe,” and of a large 
collection of antiquities presented by the Pev. E. W. Stillingfieet: 
— “The inscribed stone of which I exhibit a rubbing and a 
photograph, was discovered at Clementhorpe by Mr. Skaife, among 
a heap of stones, on ground belonging to Mr. Braddock, by whom 
it is presented, within a few yards of the place where, two years 
ago, a stone sarcophagus was found, containing a glass vessel and 
one of clay, evidently of Poman workmanship. A Poman tessellated 
pavement was found at Clementhorpe a few years since, unfortunately
