Queen Elizabeth's 4,great . space surrounding
the present Statienere-H occupied by the mansion
all was
gardens of the Pembroke family, which passed
atterearde into the possession of the king-making Earl
of Warwielte---and.thus acquired a name which still sur-
vives in the neighbourhood. .
"To describe one of these houses is to describe the
general appearance of_ alleea great house or booth,
capable of being closed in front with shutters, and form-
ing a shop, projected into the street from the ground
floor, and was overhung by the upper storeys, of which
each advanced, in the manner still seen in old buildings,
beyend the one beneath, - the: upperme,st being shaded
by the fantastic gable terminating the roof. An inscrip-
tion on the front of the booth-told the name and calling
of the occupant, and was, illustrated by a sign suspended
over the road.
" Such a sign was a gilt rosary next the western end
of the HAM it,adorhed booth and shop, along the up-
per beam of which was written in elaborate old English
characters, ' Adam Tynwald, beac:flak& and text
writer,' end so denoted an iebabitant whose occu-
pation was of no small importance in the days when
printing was unknown. ,Ita its narrow' sense, indeed, it
merely designated a writer of alphabets and primers, a
copyist of short prayers or beads, peternostere, and aye-
maries, and of texts from the missal. Such had been the
father of Adam Tynwald. But the present proprietor
of the rosary had aspired beyond those rudiments of
the mystery of publication. He bad ventured to
compete with the Scriptoria of the monasteries in pro-
ducing more important works. It was true those printing
rooms, which contributed so greatly both to the preser-
vation and destruction of ancient literature, were formi-
dable opponents to all lay scribes, and had been much
increased in number during the current century by the
friars; but the encouragement afforded to literature by
the polite Court of Edward 111. in some measure com-
pensated for this diSadvantagc. The romances of Nor-
mandy were in great vogue, tor there was shortly to be
compiled the popular history of .King Arthur, and re•
cently. to the horror 'of the priesthood, Wycliffe had
adopted the vulgar torgue in controversy, and thereby
made apPeal to-filet eornmon sense of mankind which
sooaer or later will pass judgment, on alt literature. He
loved the works which issued from his hands almost
like children,- and parted with them to his customers
with a pang. for which the price was but is trivial coml.-
deratiou. Each Was utmique, not as now, when the
labour of the artist is multiplied a thousandfold and
yet remains to himself, but Tynwald's parting was
for ever."

GOOD FRIDAY.--1-10LID AT 1 xcuasioxs.---Yester-
day (Good Friday) London and its suburbs poured forth its
thousands of pleasure-seekers by the various railroads and
steam vessels proceeding to the more favoured places of pub-
lic resort both above and below the river. The day fortu-
nately proved propitious, notwithstanding the cold, sharp,
easterly wind that prevailed. Gravesend and Greenwich
seemed to hold out the strongest attraction. Others of the
holiday folks sought the more quiet scenes of Kew, Rich-
mond, and Hampton-court. Greenwich Park, as usual, was
thronged. The preparations for the fair on Easter Monday
in the town are of the usual character. At 1-lornsey-wood-
house the Westmoreland and Cumberland Society held their
annual gathering of wrestlers, which was numerously at-
tended. A similar. display of athletic exercises took place
at the Red-house, at Battersea. It may be fairly estimated
that upwards of 50,000 perions left London fur the many ob-
jects of,pleasure, recreation, and amusement.

THE BISHOP OF LONDON- AND THE
REV. J. E. GLADS 7 ONE.
The) following correspondence has taken place be-
tween the Bishop of London and the Rev. G. T. Drif-
field, the rector of Bow, in consequence of an an-
nouncement that the Rev. Mr. Gladstone intended to
preach, in the church of the latter gentleman :-

London House March 29, 1852.
My dear Sir,—l have just seen an announcement
of a Sq‘,I'MOD to be preached in your church on the 7th
of April, by the Rev. J. E. Gladstone.
I t.tke it for granted that you are not aware of his
having been formally inhibited by ma from preaching
is my diocese. As I cannot for a moment suppose
that you would intentionally act in defiance of my
authority, I think it right to apprise you of the fact,
and to, desire that you will not permit Mr. Gladstone
to officiate in your church.

Long-acre Chapel, is to preach in my church on the

Pertait me to mention under what circumstances I
have invited him so to do.
For ithe last five years I have had an evening ser-
vice diving the first four days of Passion Week, as
my
well as the usual services on Good Friday. It has
been any custom to request some of
personal
friends, whose views of doctrine were in accordance
with my own, to occupy the pulpit on these occasions.
I invited Mr. Gladstone in the present instance, as a
personal friend of many years' standing, and as hav-
ing, by a sermon which he preached at Bow last year,
rendered himself highly
acceptable to my congrega-
tion. Fitkona these considerations, and in pursuaece
ofau7sed wish
hlong previously formed I some weeks ago
req Mr. Gladstone's services on the 7th of next
month, end not from any intention of disregard-
ing your Lordship's authority.
As, however, your Lordship's letter renders it
necessary

dtplaced, I would simply
say that the validity of your Lordship's inhibition as

Lordship a matter of doubt, and
will agree with me
that it is an open and consistent course to me, in a
moral as well as a legal point of view, to admit Mr.
Gladstone, under existing circumstance, into my
pulpit.
I would, therefore, hope that your Lordship may
not feel it necessary to remark further upon the ar-
rangement which has been made.
Regretting that incessant occupations have pre-
vented my replying more promptly to your Lordship,
I remain your Lordship's faithful servant,

London House, April 1, 1852.
Dear Sir,—The question to be settled in the Court
of Arches is not whether I have power to inhibit Mr.
Gladstone, about which there is no doubt, but simply
whether he has disobeyed my inhibition.
As you appear to be determined to set my authority
at defiance, notwithstanding your each of canonical
obedience, I have directed proceedings to be insti-
tuted for the purpose of enforcing it, and of recalling
you to a sense of your duty.
I am, dear Sir, your faithful servant,
