aisle of the nave part is separated from the middle by two circular arches, decorated with zigzag, cable, and billet mouldings, these spring from one circular column and two demi-clustered ones, which have rude Norman capitals and ponderous square bases. The north aisle is separated by three smaller semicircular arches, one ornamented like those on the south, the other two quite plain; these are sustained by square pillars with shafts of twisted and other ornamental work, sunk in every angle. The font consists simply of two plain cylindrical stones placed upon each other, the top one being hollowed into a basin sufficiently large to answer the purpose of immersion. The rest of the building is the heavypointed architecture, with clustered columns, the workmanship very good, and the materials durable. No sepulchral monuments are to be met with in this building, except part of a stone sometime inlaid with brass prefixed to the side of a pillar; but in the porch lie four large flat stones, above which upon the wall is an inscription in old church text.

The custom of strewing the interior of the Church with green grass, mown for the express purpose, is

here observed every Trinity Sunday, and a small piece of land which has been let for upwards of a century past for the trivial sum of thirteen shillings per annum, is said to have been left by a maiden lady, that the performance of this ceremony might be annually observed to the honour of the Blessed and Holy Trinity.

The manor of Clee belongs to the mayor and corporation of the ancient borough of Grimsby.

A mile eastward is Clee Thorpe, a township composed chiefly of fishermen's huts; here is however a spacious and excellent bathing hotel, at present well conducted, and frequented during the summer months by genteel families and fashionable company; it commands fine views of the river Humber, the opposite shore, the Spurn point, and German

ocean.

About one mile to the westward is the site of Weelsby, or Wellow-Weelsby-a few scattered stumps of trees, and traces of foundations overgrown with herbage, are the only vestiges of this considerable village.

THIS College is built in a quadrangular form, with cloisters on the south side. The chapel is very ruin. ous within, but there still remains some wood-work of exquisite carving. This was preserved by the exertions of the principal, at the time of the reformation, who armed his people, and checked the furious zeal of the barons of the Mearns, who, after stripping the cathedral of its roof, and taking away the bells, were going to violate this seat of learning.

The College was founded in 1494 by William Elphinston, bishop of this see, and lord chancellor of Scotland, in the reign of James III. and lord privy seal in the time of James IV. He was a person of such eminence, that his contemporaries firmly believed that his decease was presaged by various prodigies, and that supernatural voices were heard at his interment.

The college library is large. The most remarkable books here are John Traversia's translation of Hig

don's Polychronicon, in 1987 (the MS is excellently wrote, and the language, for that time, very good), and a very neat Dutch missal, with elegant paintings upon the margin. There is, likewise, a MS catalogue of the old treasury of the College. Hector Boethius was the first principal of this place: he was sent for from Paris for that purpose, and received an annual salary of forty marks Scots, at 13d. each.

The square tower, on the side of the college, was built by contributions from general Monk and the officers under him, then quartered at Aberdeen, for the reception of students, of which there are about 100 belonging to the College, who have lodgings here.

In bishop Elphinston's hall is a picture of bishop Dunbar, who finished the bridge of Dee, and completed every thing else that his predecessor had began. Besides this, there are portraits of Forbes, bishop of Aberdeen, and professors Sandiland and Gordon, by Jameson.
