7.7 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' Nvi' them ?" inquired one. "Eh, man," re-
plied his companion, "a michty lot o' the 'stockracy! For
Yin, titer'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 free them, folk

COMMENCEMENT OF THE WORKS ON THE NEW
METRoPOSIM4.*"(UNDEnonotrzip) ExTENsrox.—Yesterday
the works foi 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 • ARCIIITECTURE.—Every-
where we behold piles of warehouges that have the dignity
of palaces; indivfdtial trailers 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 evek_ West--
minster Abbey
was always beautiful, and the hea arter,
of the Horse Guards werealwpz hideous. Those-Who build •
llg
well give to posterity a fea of.beauty in briokiand stone
and wood, blossoming into imperuthale flower4tid utter-
ing in graceful lines the permanence of all trifprinciples
of design and decoration, for principles are ai eternal as ,
the mind which appreciates them. Those who:build badly
tell posterity that once upon a time there • who ?v.
pretended to be exponents of art, bu,k..4lC
ents only of their own ignorance, aixlA.l4e gperverters
of the plainest teachings of nature. It is a\natter for gene-
ral congratulation, that art is aseiling her place and ilbe
rights amongst the agencies of iftiecivilisation, and the re-, •
sult is, that recent changes in the architecture ef.the City
are all creditable to au age and a place. which havd4ie ack,.
vantages of wealth and power,, nud which make pretensions ' •
to a capability for advancement. -on,the site of the old
Plower Pot, in Bishopsgate, there is now being reared a
pile of buildingvhich,• for grandeur of design and rich- ,
ness of decoration, will probably rank highest ,

destruction solely that the razers are at work.-City Press.
