THE SoHes or LONDON.

From Ire Saturday Revieio
The cheap literature of London receives
perhaps, less attention than it deserves. The
windows of small shops in narrow streets
display broadsheets of songs, each of which is
sold for penny and contains upwards of five
thousand lines. The number of different
broadsheets which exist is almost incred,1s
and although we may suppose that the same
song occurs in many of them, yet, after every
deduction has been made, the quantity of
popular songs produced quite recently is
enormous. There is perpetual demand for
novelties at the music halls, and the songs
which are applauded there are Afterwards
printed on these broadsheets, just as the
choice airs of new opera are published for
use in drawing-rooms. The prevailing taste
of the frequenters of music-hals may pro-
badly be discovered in these broadsheets,
which contain about nine parts of buffoonery
to one part of sentiment. Some of the senti-
mental songs which refer to the sights and
sounds of the country must, we should think,
be hardly ineligible to the great mass of
purchasers of these broadsheets. We find,
for instance, one of the Christy Minstrels
songs, Roaming by the Streamlet." We
may we'll wonder what q person born and
bred in court of Drury Lane thinks of

various other sources.
The Marquis of Exeter, the direct lneal
descendant of the great Lord Treasurer
Burghley, is also very rich in the same way

The plate held in most esteem in England
is that of the time of Queen Anne. for which
the most extravagant prices are frequently
given by amateurs.

The greatest fortune probably ever made
by q eweler, was that made by Mr.. Rundell
of the celebrated firm of Rundel q Bridge,
who left considerably overa million of money.
Ii IS said, and no doubt with truth. that a
great deal of Mr.. Rundell's money was made
by buying splendid Jewels at an immense adj
