THE SII 4 L - u L L IA n ElRI ED ES


We lately published an article, copied from the
Illustrated London Netos, imputing certain forge
ries of Shakspearean documents to Mr.. Payne Col
lier and we regret having done We need hard
ly remind our readers that there are always two
sides to story. These imputed fabricatons origi-
mated in a small book written by young man
named Hamilton, connected with the British Mu-
scum, assisted by others of the same establishment.
At the time printed the article we were not
aware that fortnight before the article in the
Neios appeared long and able statement appeared
in the London AhenGunl, written by its impartial
editor, Sir j. Wentworth Dixie, wherein the impu-
ted torgeries are, one and all, entirely refuted,
and proved to be base and wilfu falsehoods.
correspondent who has looked into the subject
says:
"Amongst the charges brought against Mr. Col
lier is one stating that he had forged the cee-
brated Petition of the Players, wherein Shak-
speare's name appears. This paper is dated
during the reign of James the First, and
among the evidence brought forward to
prove Mr.. Golfers innocence of the charge
is the testimony of Mr.. Robert Lemon, keeper
of the State papers Mr.. Lemon succeeded his
much respected father, and he testifes
that long, long before, even forty years
ago, Mr.. Lemon had called Mr.. Golfers attention
to the Petition. The writer of this article had the
honor of knowing the late Mr.. Lemon. He has Of
ten been in the State paper office, and knows with
what scrupulOus care every document is preserved.
But the fact of the existence of the Petition having
been for hundreds OF years in the national sanctu-
ary, establishes, beyond all doubt, Mr.. Golfers
reputation as gentleman of unblemished integri-
ty The other charges are blown to the wind
perfectly as this one. But we would ask, in the
name of truth, what motive Mr.. Collier could have
in forging Shaksperean papers? We can easily as
sign motive for the publication of Hamilton-it
is evidently to gain a name reputation, and he
has most effectually attained it-that of a base,
cruel ignorant, unrehecting blockhead" So in
dignant have some gentlemen of New York become
at the cruel conduct exhibited towards Mr.. Collier
that they have determined on printing the two ar
ticles in the Athen@un in pamphlet form. We have
only noticed the article by the editor of the Adbe-
noun, but there is also one by Mr.. Collier himself
which utterly demolishes the vile charges. How
the editor of the London Netos could have put forth
such gross falsehoods, with his eyes open to them,
we are at loss to answer, unless to get notoriety
for his paper, but

CHANGES IN THE VALUE OF REAL ESTATE IN THE
CRY OF New YoRK.-The editor of the New York
Herald has not yet found purchases for "Wash-
ington heights" Judging from the following
speculations taken from that paper, of yesterday,
good deal of apprehension is now being felt
among dealers in real estate that property on that
island is deteriorating in value. The newspapers
are just beginning to it, and every one is just
waking up to the conviction that all property below
the Park and Chambers street sworth from twenty
to thirty per cent. less than it few years ago.
Even real estate above Union Square and around
Madison Square is not increasing in the ratio which
was calculated upon. 1t was thought too, that
property and rents on Broadway and the contigu-
Gus streets-the centre of trade-from Chambers
street to Fourteenth street, would go up to an eX,
traordinary hig rate, but we very much DOUBT
now that they will. From what we hear OF the
plans and projects going in the district between
Murray hill and Washington heights-of the new
born commission of the legislature, and so forth
we should not be surprised if property in that di-
recton were to fall off some twenty or thirty per
cent, notwithstanding the prospects and promises
which the Central park held forth. Three years
ago land there was worth $4,000 acre; but 1t it
is cut up, as it probably will be, into small lots,
which will become the prey to squatters, it may
not bring 5000 or 500 acre, instead of $4,000.
