THE SHAKSPEARE CELEBRATION.

Following the remarks made by the Athenceum
of Saturday, and 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 r hould
in future be sent to that address. A clerk will be in atten-
ance from ten to lour, of whom the printed papers of the
committee, and all necessary information may be obtained
by those who seek them.

the committee, it is hoped, will be able to wait on the
