A COMIC CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY.-TWO
men were lately overheard talking of the forthcom-
ing visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to Kelso, an
event in which they appeared to take the greatest interest.
"Wha's comin' wi' them?" inquired one. "Eh, man," re-
plied his companion, "a michty lot o' the 'stoekracy! For
yin, ther's to be the Duke o' Cornwall, an' I'm tauld that
the Duke o' Rothesay's comin' tae, baith fu' kizzics o' the
Prince himsel', wha's hardly ever separate frac) them, folk
say !—Kelso Mail.
COMMENCEMENT OF THE WORKS ON THE NEW
METROPOLITAN (UNDERGROUND) EXTENSlON.—Yesterday
the works for the extension and widening of the Metro-
politan (Underground) Railway were simultaneously com-
menced at the following points, viz. :—Coppice-row, Ray-
street, Bowling-green-lane, Baker-street, and Margaret-
street. A shaft is being sunk at the end of Exmouth-
street, opposite Cobham-row, for the construction of the
tunnel, which is intended to extend from Ray-street to
Guildford-street East ; that portion of the line extending
thence to Baker-street, at the end of Bagnigge-wells-road,
will be formed by a deep cutting.

It is estimated that fsom 40,000 to 50,000 have
died from cholera in Constantinople and the neighbouring
villages, during the last two months.
ADVANCE IN STREET ARCRITECTURE.—Every-
where we behold piles of warehouses that have the dignity
of palaces ; individual traders even mock the greatest of
guilds and corporations in the splendid edifices they rear
for the purposes of trade, and the prevailing architectural
tastes are sound, and in a century hence, if London lasts so
long, the fine frontages now in course of erection will
please the eye, because, for the most part they are really
beautiful, and things beautiful are a joy for ever. West-
minster Abbey was always beautiful, and the headquarters
of the Horse Guards were always hideous. Those who build

and wood, blossoming into imperishable lowers, and utter-
ing in graceful lines the permanence of all true principles
of design and decoration, for principles are as eternal as
the mind which appreciates them. Those who build badly
tell posterity that once upon a time there were men who
pretended to be exponents of art, but really were expon-
ents only of their own ignorance, and shameless perverters
of the plainest teachings of nature. It is a matter for gene-
ral congratulation, that art is asserting her place and her
rights amongst the agencies of true civilisation, and the re-
sult is, that recent changes in the architecture of the City
are all creditable to an age and a place which have the ad-
vantages of wealth and power, and which make pretensions
to a capability for advancement. On the site of the old
Flower Pot, in Bishopsgate, there is now being reared a

By adricts from Hamburg the price of gold is 428 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.7 k per £1 st(rline.
• Sandard gold at the English Mint price is., therefore, marly
2-tlothe per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg.
