THE SHAKSPEARE CELEBRATION.

Following the remarks made by the Athenceuna
of Saturday, aid quoted by us in our impression of
that evening, we find the subjoined additional par-
ticulars, which we transfer to-day in sequence to
our own columns from those of our contemporary :

So far as the organisation has been completed up to this
time, the following facts may be stated.
By the great liberality of a member of the committee, the
use of permanent apartments has been secured at 120, Pall-
Mall, which in future may be considered as the head-
quarters of the committee. All public communications i hould
in future be sent to that address. A clerk will be in atten-
ance from ten to four, of whom the printed papers of the
committee, and all necessary information may be obtained
by those who seek them.
Messrs. Coutts and Co. have been appointed bankers to
the committee. An account has been opened at the bank,
and a book of subscriptions laid on the counter. To that
firm moneys and cheques may now be paid to account of
