SU-K-SP-R-'S NAME,

The incontestable autographs of the poet are: l. His signature to the deed of purchase of house in Blackfriars, London. This autograph was purchased for the City of London in 1S43 for s145, and is now at Guildhall. A fac-simile of the signature is given in Richard Grant Whites edition of the poets works, vol. i.p. 92. Sir Francis Madden and MT. Furnival, than whom there are no abler decipherers of antique and grabbed hand writing, make the signature to be Shahs- pore. ?. His signature to mortgage of the same property. This was purchased in 1858 for the British Museum for S315. If the only fac-simile of it that we have ever seen does it justice, the British Gov ernment paid quite high price for an autograph which is well-nigh illegible Madden and Furnival, however, after a careful and independent study of the ori- ginal, agree in reading it &takspere. 8, 4,5. Three signatures appended to the will of the great dramatist. This will, which may be inspected by any one for shilling at Doctors Commons, London. is drawn up on three sheets of paper, each of which bears the poets name. It has been suggested that the two first sigma lures were appended by the clerk who drew the will, and that only the last is that of the poet himself This theory has been shown, however,to be untenable, and all the signatures are now regarded as genuine autographs. They are given in fac-simile by Richard Grant White, in his edition of the poets works, (vol. l., pp. 96-99.) The first and second would seem to be shakspere, (so, Madden and Furnival;) while the third looks decided ly like Shakespeare. So Madden makes it out,and so it was made out by Stevens and Malone, who,in 1776, before the signature was defaced by frequent handling, made the first tracing of itfor fac-simile. Furnival, however, insists that this, like the other autographs, reads S7.dkspere These five autographs, feebly and almost illegibly traced are all that certainly re- mains to us of. the handwriting of one of the most Toluminous, as well as incom- parably the greatest of English poets. One other autograph is commonly added on the authority of Sir Francis Madden, who has said that Git challenges and de- fes suspicion. It is suspected, how eyer,by both MT. HalliweH and Mr. Furni- val, who have good rig :: ..s to an opinion in such matters. The signature in question is written on the fy-leaf of copy of Florio's translation of Montaigne's "Es- says,' which is the property of the Brit ish Museum. The name, whoever wrote it,is, unmistakably, "Wiu'n Shakspere." In the ShakspeareGnG Genealogical" pp. 533-534, an account is given of four other alleged autographs, which are commonly regarded as spurious. From an inspec-, tion of these autographs it is evident that, however, Sh-k-sp-r- may have va ried in spelling the last syllable of his name, he faevey: ilserts ar, after the k: So says MT. Furnival, and so must any one say who takes the pains to examine Che. fac-similes. On this point the spur ious and the genuine autographs are all

and it is expected that Gen. Belknap will
appear in person, and plead to the juris-
diction Of the Senate. There will no
doubt be a stubborn SIGHT ON this question
by the distinguished counsel of the &C
cused. As in the johnson impeachment
trial, only those who have tickets will be
admitted to the Senate gallery; it 10 not
probable, however, that this trial will ex-
cite nearly so much local Or national in

Emancipation Day was celebrated in
Washington BY the unveiling of Lincoln's
statue, recently placed in the park Of his
name. The day was cloudy, threatening
rain, but this did not prevent the concourse
OF immense numbers Of colored people
from Maryland and Virginia, who came
sfoot, in the cars, on mules, and by every
conceivable wheeled craft, to witness the
ceremony. The statue was overhung and
concealed by large American flag, from
which a rope extended to a platform occu-
pied by President Grant, Cabinet officials,
Justices of the Supreme Court, Members
Of Congress, and representatives. Of for
eign legations. At the invitation of Prof
Langston (colOred), who conducted the
ceremonies, the President pulled the rope,
and the statue was unveiled amid the roar
of cannon, applause of surrounding null
titudes, and music by the Marine Band.
The group is Of colossal size, bronze, and,
without exception, the most perfect work
of art in the city, both in idea and execu-
ton. 1t represents the President with q
face full of benignitv and pity, holding in
his right hand the proclamation Of emAn-
cipation, while his left is extended over
the head of a crouching slave, half lifting
himself, and cropping in the dawn Of lib
erty. The group, both in mass and in
feature, is an expressive and impressive
history C.
