BUSTS OF CHARLES I. AND JAMES I.--ANCIENT TAPESTRY.

1. Where is now the bust of Charles I., formerly in Westminster
Hall, and engraved by Peter Mazell, for Pennant's _London_, in which
engraving the bust is attributed to Bernini, though Vertue thought
differently? (See Dallaway's _Walpole_, 1826, ii. 109.)

2. Also, where is the correspondent bust of James I., formerly at
Whitehall, of which there is an engraving by N. Smith?

3. What has become of the tapestry of the reign of Henry VI.
which formerly adorned the Painted Chamber in the ancient Palace
of Westminster? It appears that it remained in one of the lower
apartments from the time when it was taken down in 1800 until the
year 1810; that it was then sold to Charles Yarnold, Esq., of Great
Helen's, Bishopsgate Street, for 10l. After his death in 1825, in the
auction of his collection at Southgate's (June 11. that year, lot
238), it was sold as "Seven pieces representing the Siege of Troy, for
7l. to Mr. Matheman." Who was Mr. Matheman? and what has now become of
his acquisition?
