" A grave had been dug in St. Botolph's church-yard,
Aldgate. Subsequently two grave-diggers descended
into it. They fell dead instantly." " A grave-digger,
named Green, while employed in the church-yard of
St. Margaret's, Westminster, was seen to fall. He
was conveyed to the hospital, and received all due
care, but died in a few days. His medical attendant
was similarly affected, and died four days after the
grave-digger. The servant of the medical man was
seized the day following her master's death : in a few
days she was a corpse." Cases of this description
might be greatly multiplied : but these are enough
for our purpose. They are to be found, among others,
in Mr. Walker's well-known works on the grave-yards
of London; and the Board of Health, in their report
on a scheme for extramural sepulture, not only bear
ample testimony to the greatness of the evils exposed
through the zeal of this gentleman, but show that " as
far as examination has yet proceeded," the burial-
places of country towns are, to say the least, in a
condition equally dangerous with those of the metro-
polis. "We have hitherto," say the Board, " met
with no single instance in which the care and manage-
ment of these places of interment are in any respect
superior."—Hopley's Lecture on Respiration.

A COATING FOR LEAD CISTERNS, GrTTERS, &C.,
FOR RAIN-WATER.—BoiI together, in one quart of
soft water, three ounces of subcarbonate of potass
(commercial pearlash), and one and a half ounce of
powdered resin, just moistened with boiled linseed
oil, until the latter ingredients are dissolved, or nearly
so ; then mix the whole with a gallon of a boiling
solution of shell-lac and borax ; allow it to cool, and
strain through coarse flannel. A colour must now be
made, of a lead grey tint, without, however, contain-
ing any of that metal. As pure rain-water is the
desired object, it may be thus prepared :—Dilute
some commercial oil of vitriol with two or three times
its bulk of water, raise it to the boiling point, and
throw in gradually a quantity of fine porcelain clay (or
pipe-clay), keeping the liquid boiling until it becomes
neutral, i. e., free from acidity (this will take several
hours) ; then strain, and add a saturated solution of
common washing soda in slight excess ; the precipi-
tate of alumina produced should be washed upon a
cloth, dried, and four-fifths of it calcined in a crucible
for half-an-hour ; when cool, to be mixed with the re-
maining fifth ; finely ground upon a stone slab, with
enough ivory-black to form the required colour. The
alumina-grey is ready for the menstruum named in
the preceding paragraph, which should be added to it,
till a creamy consistence is obtained. Give lead-flats
two coats, and allow it forty-eight hours to dry, and
rain-water will be found free from all impurities ex-
cept such as are furnished by the atmosphere. Should
the alumina-white process be too troublesome, re-
quiring only a small quantity, a mixture of 111 b. best
modelling clay, and lt-lbs. of broken tobacco pipes (to
be had at any place where they are made), finely
ground together, answers nearly as well.— Wentworth

FASHIONABLE PARTS OF THE CITY IN OLD TIMES.
—" In arranging the noble collection of state archives
under my charge," says Mr. Lemon, of the State
Paper Office, in a paper read at an entertainment to
the " Noviomagians," given by Lord Mayor Moon at
the Mansion-house, " I have occasionally made a note
of the residences of some of the most celebrated cha-
racters of the Elizabethan period, and I confine myself
to the notice of a few only on the present occasion.
Previous to Elizabeth, I find that in 1548 John Lisle,
Earl of Warwick, afterwards Duke of Northumber-
land, resided in Ely-place, and at the same time Sir
Anthony St. Leer, Lord Deputy of Ireland, had his
abode in Southwark, at Chamberlain's-wharf, in
Tooley-street, formerly called from him " St. Leger's-
wharf." In 1549, Sir Edward Wotton had a house in
Warwick-lane. In 1552, Sir Philip Hoby, at the
Tower. In 1556, Sir Roger Cholmeley lived in the
Old Bailey ; and in 1558, Sir Francis Englefield, then
Secretary of State, rusticated in the pleasant paths of
Whitefriars. Coming now to the time of Elizabeth,
in the first year "of her reign, John de Vere, Earl of
Oxford, resided at London Stone itself, so of course he
must have been a thorough Londoner. In 1559,
Frances, the celebrated Duchess of Suffolk, lived at
the Charter-house. In 1567, Richard Bertie, ancestor
of the Earls of Lindsey, lived in elegant style on his
estates in the Minories and the Barbican ; and in
1568, the learned John Jewell, Bishop. of Salisbury,

resided in St. Lawrence-lane. I doubt if the smallest
bishop that now exists, even Sodor and Man, would
voluntarily prefer living in that locality. In 1570,
Sir Thomas Gresham had Gresham-house, and there
very properly, as a citizen, he carried on his immense
mercantile transactions, as well as his diplomatic
agencies. In 1571, Lady Eleanor Pelham is found in
the Minories ; Sir Ralph Sadleir, the ambassador, in
Howard-place ; and Margaret, Countess of Lennox,
the mother of Lord Darnley, at Islington and Hack-
ney. The Lord Chief Justice Catlyn, in 1572, was
fashionable enough to take up his residence in St.
Bartholomew's the Great ; and in 1576, I find that Sir
Walter Mildmay, the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
was his next neighbour in the same place. In that
same year, Lady Mary Sydney lived at St. Paul's
wharf, Sir Richard Baker in St. John's Zachary, Sir
George Peckham at St. Sepulchre's, and Dame Eliza-
beth Leigh at St. Olave's Jury. In 1579, a serious
affray took place in Fleet-street between Mr. Edmond
Wyndham and Lord Rich, when Wyndham, being
nearly overpowered by his assailants, found refuge in
the house of the French Ambassador, in Salisbury-
court."-Ihe Builder.
