SIIAKSPERIANA.

The Stratford Committee have lately received a commu-
nication from General Knollys expressive of his Royal
Highness the Price of Wales's best wishes for the success
of a scheme that has for its object to do due honour to our
great dramatist; and, although it is impossible for the Prince
to make any engagement, at the present moment, to favour
Stratford with a visit at the festival, the committee cherish
the hope that Warwickshire will be gratified with his pre-
sence on one of the days of the festival.
THE NATIONAL SHAKSPERE COMMITTEE has been joined
during the past week by the following :—The Right Hon.
the Lord Mayor of Dublin and the Lord Provost of Edin-
burgh have become vice-presidents; the following gentle-
men having become members of the committee :—Holman
Hunt, Esq„ H. Stacy Marks, Esq., Charles Salamans,
Esq., Charles Lewis, Esq.
THE SHAKSPERE VOCAL ALBUM.—Messrs. Lonsdale
are announcing the immediate publication of the " Shak-
spore Vocal Album," containing selections from the best
settings of Shakspere's poetry for one, two, three, and more
voices, by Arne, Purcell, Leveridge, Linley, Haydn, and
other composers of eminence.
MR. FECHTER INTENDS TO PRODUCE " HAMLET" as
his next great enterprise at the Lyceum Theatre. The play
is to be put on the stage in a magnificent style, and Mr.
Pechter has very courteously offered the first night to the
Shakspero Committee, The managers of the Strand and
the Surrey Theatres have also, we believe, offered to
give the Monument Fund the benefit of a night at those
houses.

the Duke of Devonshire, the Earl of Clarendon, the Lord
President of the Council, the Presidents If the Society of
Antiquaries, the Royal Academy, the Society of British

DR. ANDREW REED, FOUNDER AND PROMOTER
OF PHILANTHROPIC INSTITUTIONS.—Let us name
these in succession, according to the dates of their founda-
tion, and then proceed to give a brief sketch of the life and
labours of the individual who, obscure by birth, and com-
paratively obscure in station, yet succeeded in calling such
noble institutions into existence. These are the London
Orphan Asylum, founded in 1812 ; the Infant Orphan
Asylum, in 1827 ; the Asylum for Fatherless Children, in
1344 ; the Asylum for idiotsj in 1847 ; the Royal Hospital
for Incurables, in 1854; and the .Eastern Counties Idiot
Asylum, in 1859, The founder was the son of an obscure
watchmaker, who, coming up from Weymouth to London,
established himself in a small business in Butcher•row, St.
Clement Danes, where ho married an orphan girl, one of
whose children, born in 1787, is the subject of the present
memoir. The parents of Andrew Reed were independents.
Andrew was intended to be brought up as a watchmaker,
for which trade he showed no small aptitude, but he was an
earnest, thoughtful youth, fond of study, and one in whom
religious friends thought they recognised a capacity for
higher things than mere journeywork, Of these friends the
Rev, Matthew Wiiks counselled the young watchmaker to
leave his calling, and devote himself to the work of the
ministry. Andrew was accordingly entered a student at
Hackney College, one of the training establishments of the
Independents. .

M. GEROME is engaged upon a commission re- I
ceived from the Emperor Napoleon to paint the scene at the
Imperial Court during the reception of the Siamese Ambas-
sadors. Those dignitaries are seen crawling upon the ground
towards the throne on which the Emperor is seated. They
do this after the manner of their country, upon their hands
and knees, their faces near the earth. Beside the Emperor
is the Empress, and around the principal actors are grouped
the dignitaries of the French empire, soldiers and civilians,
and many ladies.
GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION.—The Government
emigrant ship Severn, 850 tons, Mr. Henry King,
master, belonging to Mr. George Lidgatt, London, which
sailed from Plymouth on the 14th July last, arrived at
Sydney, New South Wales, on the 11th October, having
on board 47 married people, 130 single anon, 97 single
women, 19 boys and 21 girls between the ages of one and
12, and 10 infants, numbering in all 324 souls, equal to
294 statute adults, under the care of Mr. Ambrose New-
bold, M.D., surgeon superintendent, assisted by Miss Mary
Amstrong, matron. One birth and three deaths took place
on the voyage.
