GLADIATEUL

The objection against Gladiateur on account of age was
formally lodged by Mr. Graham, the owner of Regalia, on
Tuesday afternoon, at Doncaster, a proceeding which has
created the greatest sensation. The stewards, however,
after a consultation late at night, came to the conclusion
that they cannot entertain the protest unless Mr. Graham
is prepared with evidence in support of his extraordinary
charge.

evidence that he continued to reside in Southwark to the
year 1608. And a note taken from the poor's-book of St.
Saviour, at the date of April 6, 1609, states him to have
been then assessed to their relief at 6d. weekly, the highest
sum of any one in the Clink Liberty. On Dec. 81, 1607, a
brother, Edmund Shakspere, was buried in the church.
It is probable that our great poet and dramatist retired
to his native place about 1611 or 1612, not long after the
production of his last play. On Bankside lived Beaumont
and Fletcher. They lived together, and composed their
celebrated joint productions. " Both bachelors lay together,
and had ono wench in the house between them. There
was the same clothe; cloke, &c., for them." Old Wit, in
Shadwell's Bury Fair, is made to say, " I knew my friend
Fletcher, and his maid Joan well. I shall never forget him.
I have supped with him at his house on the Banksido. Ho
loved a fat loin of pork of all things in the world."—South
London Chronicle.

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.

R EMBANKMENT OF THE THAMES.
—.
The plant for the use of the southern embankment
of the Thames is being landed at the wharf adjoining
Westminster-bridge from the Crossness Works, which are
now completed. Extensive premises are being erected on
the ground for the convenience of the works, which will be
commenced forthwith. It is intended to widen the narrow
part of the Thames near Vauxhall, which is known as the
Gorge, by the removal of the whole of Upper Fore-street,
to which it runs parallel.
ADVANCE IN STREET ARCIIITECTURE.—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 acer thentur most partyhence, i f London

long, the fine frontages now in course of erection will
please the eye, because, for
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
well give to posterity a feast of beauty in brick and stone
and wood, blossoming into imperishable flowers, 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
in Bishopsgate, there is now being reared a
to a capability for advancement. On the site of the old
Flower Pot,
pile of buildings which, for grandeur of design and rich-
ness of decoration, will probably rank highest in impor-
tance in the whole of London City. It is not, therefore, for
destruction solely that the razors are at work.—Py Press,
