OUT-DOOR MONUMENTS AND PUBLIC STATUES. THE MONUMENT, p. 229.

YORK COLUMN, CARLTON-HOUSE GARDENS. A column of Scotch granite, erected (1830-33) by public subscription, with a bronze statue of the Duke of York, second son of George III., upon the top. The column, 124 feet high, was designed by Mr. B. Wyatt, and the statue, 14 feet high, executed by Sir Richard Westmacott. There is a staircase and gallery affording a fine view of the W. end of London and the Surrey Hills. It is open from 12 to 4, from May to Sept. 24th.

NELSON COLUMN, TRAFALGAR SQUARE. A column of Portland stone, designed by Mr. Railton, and erected 1840-43, surmounted by a statue of Nelson. The statue, by E. H. Baily, R.A., is formed of two stones from the Granton quarry; it has been styled "the beau-ideal of a Greenwich Pensioner." The capital of the column is of bronze,

furnished from cannon taken from the French. The bronze bas-relief of the Death of Nelson is by Mr. Carew; of the Nile, by Mr. Woodington; of Copenhagen, by the late Mr. Ternouth; and of St. Vincent, by the late Mr. Watson. To the great disgrace of the nation and the government, this monument to the noblest of our naval heroes is still unfinished. Four large lions in granite will surmount the four angles at the base, and the total cost of the column will be about 33,000l. The largest individual subscription towards the monument was contributed by the Emperor of Russia (5007.).

Bronze Equestrian Statue of CHARLES I., at Charing Cross, by Hubert Le Sour, a Frenchman, and pupil of John of Bologna, cast in 1633, in a spot of ground near the church in Covent Garden, and not being erected before the commencement of the Civil War, sold by the Parliament to John Rivet, a brazier living at the Dial, near Holborn Conduit, with strict orders to break it to pieces. But the man produced some fragments of old brass, and concealed the statue under ground till the Restoration. The statue was set up in its present situation at the expense of the Crown, in 1676. The pedestal, generally attributed to Grinling Gibbons, was the work of Joshua Marshall, Master Mason to the Crown.

PRINCIPAL THOROUGHFARES, SQUARES,
LANES, &c.

THE landmarks, or central situations of London, are the Bank of England, the Royal Exchange, and the Mansion House, all three lying together in the very heart of the city;-St. Paul's Cathedral and the General Post Office, both in the City, and within a stone's throw of one another;-Temple Bar and Somerset House, the very central points of modern London ;-Charing Cross; Regent Circus, in Piccadilly; the Piccadilly end of Albemarle-street, and Apsley House at Hyde-Parkcorner, the leading points of the southern side of modern London; Tottenham Court Road, the Regent Circus in Oxford-street, and the corner of Edgware Road, the leading points of the northern line of London.

The principal thoroughfares, or main arteries, are Regentstreet, Piccadilly, Oxford-street, Holborn, the Strand, Fleetstreet, Cheapside, Cornhill, the New Road, the City Road, Drury-lane, Chancery-lane, Gray's-Inn-lane. These are all

traversed by a continuous stream of omnibuses, running at threepenny and penny fares, and are best seen from the top of an omnibus. What Johnson called "the full tide of human existence," is to be seen at the Bank and Royal Exchange; at Charing Cross; and the Regent Circus in Oxfordstreet.

The streets of London are about 2800 in number; the longest street of consequence without a turning, is Sackvillestreet, Piccadilly.

PALL MALL. A spacious street extending from the foot of ST. JAMES'S STREET to the foot of the HAYMARKET, and so called from a game of that name introduced into England in the reign of Charles I., perhaps earlier. James I., in his "Basilicon Doron," recommends it as a game that Prince Henry should use. The name (from Palla a ball, and Maglia a mallet) is given to avenues and walks in other countries, as at Utrecht in Holland. The Malls at Blois, Tours, and Lyons are mentioned by Evelyn in his "Memoirs," under the year 1644. Pepys mentions "Pell Mell" for the first time under the 26th of July, 1660, where he says, "We went to Wood's at the Pell Mell (our old house for clubbing), and there we spent till ten at night." This is not only one of the earliest references to Pall Mall, as an inhabited locality, but one of the earliest uses of the word "clubbing" in its modern signification of a Club; and additionally interesting, seeing that the street still maintains what Johnson would have called its "clubbable" character.

Eminent Inhabitants.-Dr. Sydenham, the celebrated physician. He was living in Pall Mall from 1664 to 1689, when he died. He is buried in St. James's Church. Mr. Fox told Mr. Rogers that Sydenham was sitting at his window looking on the Mall, with his pipe in his mouth and a silver tankard before him, when a fellow made a snatch at the tankard and ran off with it. Nor was he overtaken," said Fox, "before he got among the bushes in Bond-street, and there they lost him."-Nell Gwyn, from 1670 to her death in 1687, in a house on the "south side," with a garden towards the Park— now No. 79, Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. The house, however, has been rebuilt since Nell inhabited it. The great Duke of Marlborough, in Marlborough House. George Psalmanazar had lodgings here on his first arrival, and here he was visited as an inhabitant of Formosa. -William, Duke of Cumberland, the hero of Culloden, in Schomberg House, in 1760.-Robert Dodsley, the bookseller, originally a footman. He opened a shop here in 1735, with the sign of "Tully's Head," and, dying in 1764, was buried at Durham.-Gainsborough, the painter, in the western wing of Schomberg House, from 1777 to 1783.-At the Star and Garter Tavern, William, fifth Lord Byron (d. 1798) killed (1765) his neighbour and friend, Mr. Chaworth, in what was rather a broil than a duel. The quarrel was a very foolish one-a dispute between the combatants, whether Lord Byron, who took no care of his game, or Mr. Chaworth, who did, had most game on their manor. Lord Byron was tried and acquitted.
