LONDON DILAPIDArED.-Accordin to the Lon
don Times, considerable portions of the city are
in state of dilapidation already beyond the
power of renovation, except by reconstruction.
The Times proposes large expenditures for this
purpose. 1t says:
IF things go on in the present way we shall
soon have TO leave off boaSting of English COM
fort. The word will he as inauplicable TO the
country as the epithet merry in the old bal.
lads Here are 100000 of us living in London
in a manner which is every day becoming more
and more unhearable. Foreigners have always
been disappointed in London, but nova days
they are astumiShed, not to say Disguised. No
doubt some improvements have been made; new
districts have arisen, better built aud better
drained than the old, but they are at the ex.
tremiiies, aud London proper is becoming more
foul and dingy and dilapidated and sinking
every day. The PaiiSian, the Viennese. the
New Yorker is surprised at the meanneSs of the
houses, the closeneSs and snallness of the shops.
and the general sloyeniness and ant of care
which meet the eye on every side. The Lon-
doner seems to have no idea of pulling down
house. Whether from want of enterprise OF
from bad system Of tenure, vast districts in
the most advantageous situations are covered
with worthless houses, which are allowed to
stand, aud become worse and worse yearly, un-
I'll they tumble down or otherwise CEASE to be
inhabited"

Literary Notice.

THE sTRATFORD GALLERY; On, The sHAKsrEARE SISTER
HOOD Comprising Foryhve Ideal Portraits Described by
Mrs Henrietta Lee Illustrated with fine sngavings
on Steel Designs by Eminent Hands New York D. Ap
pleton &ICo., 1859. Nashville: W T. Berry a Co.
Among the most beautiful books which Messrs.
Berry & Co. have ever offered for sale is the one
whose tGe-psge is copied above. This is saying a
great DEAL for, as our readers know, their holiday
list always embraces every thing of the beautiful
and rare in print, binding and engraving, We do
not think we have ever seen more magnificent
book in all these respects, than the Stragord Gal
Iery. Among the illustrations are ideal portraits
faithfully studied and realizing to the eye the poetic
character already presented to the mind, of Juliet
Rosalind Beatrice, Viola, DesdimOns, Psrdits,
Ophela, Portia Miranda, Imogen, COrdelis, Cleo
patra Joan Of Arc, Hermione, Hero, Lady Macbeth,
and 50 on. Mrs Palmer, as We learn from an
change, is the wife Of Dr.. J. ". Palmer who wrote
the Golden DagOn," 50 many fine oriental articles
in the New Cyclopaiia and the Atlantic Monthly,
as we'll as the California sketehesn Putnam" and
the popular comedy Of the "Queen's Heart"
In most volumes Of this kind the excellence Of the
'treadug matter is considered quite secondary to
the pictorial beauty Of the illustrations but it is
evident that Mrs Palmer has not so interpreted the
function she felt herself called to perform in editing
this gallery Of shakspearean portraits. Aiming to
combine 'the storytelling quality Of Charles Lamb
with the criticism of Mrs Jsmison 'she has in some
respects surpassed each Of her models, thus giving
rs in her charsoterEations Of the shakespeare Sis
terlood" contribution to literature whose value Is
quite independent Of the artistic surroundings in
which It is placed. So sincere is our conviction on
this point that We hope these descriptive analyses Of
shskspeares hsrOines may be given to the public in
separate volume, to the end that wider circle Of
readers may share in the pleasure to be derived from
such fine appreostions in difficult walk Of criticism
Less metaphysical than some Of the writer's on
sbskspesre's characters, Mrs. Palmer knows how t
infuse human and WOmsnly interest in all her Pc
traitures, without being ever deficient in point Of
critical acumen In evidence of the degree in which
sbe possesses the latter quality, we may particularly
rsfar the reader to the sketches Of Juliet and lss-
bella in the former Of which she vindicates the re-
osived text Of Shakespeare from what sheiregards as
unauthorized amendment, while in the latter she

Wheat in Tennessee.

Although the past season in Tennessee was unfa-
vOrable to wheat yet the crop of the State was large
At the State Fair the premium for the best ten acres
was awarded to DR.. ". H. DRANE, of Montgomery

persors. As matter Of general interest," we publish
below the mode Of cultivation furnished by Dr.

TO the Honorable the estate Agricultural Bureau:"
I beg to submit survey Of ten acres Of wheat,
with the statement of S. G. Barbee and " P. Bar
bee, who had the control and superintendent of the
threshing, cleansing and washing of the yield Of
said ten acres, the same being thirty four bushels
and ffty>fOur pounds per acre.
The above was part of a field Of forty acres, cul>
tivated in tobacco the last season, and seeded
to wheat, commencing about the 9Th Of October.
The tobacco stubble was turned under with large
ploW-the surface smoothed with heavy brush
dragged crossWise, and the wheat drill began its
work, two bushels Of seed per acre. The prospect
was all that could be desired for large yield dur
ing the winter and early spring-but late frost
with frequent heavy rains and storms, while in
bloom, and during the forming Of the berry, did
much to diminish the product.
The wheat was cast down go much that it was me-
csssary to reap it in only direction Opposite the
stormand then was found impossible to make clean
