IIURBDAY, APRIL 18, 1861
Shakspeanana.
The personal relics of William Shakspeare
are few. Not even a solitary letter written by
his hand has been preserved = or, if pre
served, it is among the archives of ancient
families, which probably have never been ex
amined with a view to the discovery of Shaks
pearian relics. The time will arrive, per
haps, when a mass of Shakspeare's manu
scripts will turn up. The poet was rich in
his latter days, besides being celebrated, and
must have written and received many letters.
Re was a man of business, too, carefully, rep
gulating his property ; seeing to the profitable
investment of his capital, and taking care that
what he lent should be well secured, and duly
paid up at the appointed time.
In 1597, Shakspeare bought New Place, in
Chapel-street ward, Stratford - upon - Avon.!
Twelve years before, he, a poor and friendless
young man, had quitted Stratford, in quest of ;
lortune. He now came, possessed of it, and
also of fame, and.was. able to rescue his father
and kindred from the penury into which tboi
had fallen. In 1598, a townsman of hie,—one
Richard Calmly, whose son Thomas subsei
quently married Judith, youngest daughter of
'Shakspeare,—borrowed thirty pounds from
the poet, equal to one hundred ' and 1113^.
pounds of our present money, and the letter .
on which this loan is solicited, which has been
preserved, does not imply a doubt of Shake--
peare's ability to make the advance.
We notice, in the London Critic of March'
30th, an advertisement which must possess
some interest for the lovers of Shakspeare. It
reads thus :

All farther putionlare may be, optained saw appli
cation to Mr. W.I. Mclntire, Solicitor, Stratford-upon-
Avon.
The New Place, which Slutkspeare bought
in 1597, and where he died , in 1616, was built
by Sir Hugh Clepton in the reign of Henry,
subsequently sold by the Cloptons to a:
person named Botts (who certainly lived in ,
it in 1664, where he paid an assessment to the
poor), and disposed of by Bette to Hercules
Underhill, from whom it passed into the own
ership of William Shakspeare. It was then
one of the best houses in the best part of
Stratford. The will of Sir Hugh Clopton de
scribed this dwelling as cc the Great House," .
but Shakspeare, who entirely remodelled and
repaired it, changed the name to New Place.
It is worthy of note, that, in 1596, only a
few months bade Shakspeare purchased New
Place, his father applied to the Herald's Col-
ege in London for a grant of arros, as a
C 4 gentleman" who had been Bailiff (or Mayor)
of Stratibrd and a Justice of the Peace, and,
having proved his gentle descent and that of
the Ardens, his wife's family, the grant was
:made in due form. Independent of Shako.
peare's not deatsing, perhaps, to be a better
gentleman than his father, be was himself still
on the stage, and the theatrical professiok was
much looked'down upon at the time.
New Place .continue 3 in possession of
Shakspeare's descendants until after the Re-'
sterstion. In that house, at the outbreak of
the ' Civil War, Henrietta Mashy wife of
Charles kept Court for .;three weeks:
After the Restoration (about 1663, we be 4
lieve,) the Clopton family repurchased New
Place. In the spring of 1142, Sir Hugh
Clopton entertained Garrick, Macklo, and
De e, the eater, under the telebraied Mal
belt, tree wliich Shakspeare's own hands had
planted in his 'garden at Neer Place, in the
.year .1609, - - •
The executor, of the last will, Sir Hugh
°lepton, sold New Place to a clergymari
named Gastrell, a man of odd temper, who,
disgusted with the authorities of Stratford
for what he considered a demand for an exces
sive borough rate, and annoyed at the number
of visitors to the place and the tree, milled
down the house and cut down the famone
mulberry. The Seen& Regishr, for 1760,
says that the trunk was sold to a silversmith
"who made many odd things of it for the
curious?' It is scarcely too much to say that
there are (said to be) in existence as many
portions of Shakspeare's famous mulberry as
would wince, in their unfragmental -state, to
build a man-of-war. We have seen them in
England, Iretand, and ncotland ; in France,
Belgium, and Germany. In the recent Burton
sale, (at New York, October, 1860,) there
were two .such relics :-viz., two Goblets
carved from the mulberry tree. Garrick's
cup, from the same material, sold for £lOO
sterling, and now belongs, we believe, to
the Garrick Club, London. Major Sirr,
the police magistrate of Dublin, also
had a mulberry goblet, which sold for
£l7, and Mr. Brandon, box-office keeper of
Drpry Lana Theatre, possessed one, which
brought £lO at auction. There is now a.
pretty large-sined block of Shakspeare's mul
berry in the British Museum, presented to that
institution by the Rev. Thomas Racket, one
of Garrick's executors. The late Mr. Burton
possessed a smaller portion, said to have been
lopped from the same block. •,
It Is stated, in Davies' Life of Garrick, that
the Reverend Mr. Gaatrell cut down the
mulberry trgi, a because it overshadowed
hie window, and rendered the house,
as he thought, subject to damps and mois
ture." The people of Stratford were so,
offended that they threatened personal ven
geance on the offender, who had to hide 101 7
self from their wrath, and finally to quit the
town for ever, the inhabitants vowing that they
would never suffer any person of his name to
live in Stratford. • • •
Mr. Davies records that a carpenter pdr--
chased the tree, and cut it into various shapes,
—such as small trunksonalf-boxes, tea-ead
dies, standishei, tobacco-stoppers, &c. The
Corporation of Stratford, in admiration of
Garrick, as a histrionic, Illustrator of Shake
peare, presented him with the freedom of their
borough, enclosed in a handsomely-carved
box, made out of this sacred wood. Out of
this compliment arose the famous .Dhalovesre .
Jubilee in 1769, which set Stratford out of its
wits with joy and enthusiasm. Garrick, who
had a keen eye to business, reproduced tie
Jubilee at Stratford upon the stage of Dniry
Lane Theatre, and the representation had a
profitable run of one hundred nights.
Shalrepeare's father died, at New Place;in
1601. In the following year, Shakspeare gave
William and John Combo the sum of £320,
(equal to £1,600 sterling of the present time,).
for 107 acres of land. He made further ac
quisitions of real property in his native town
later in that year, and also in 1603. Most of
his time, it is presumed, was spent in Strat
ford. He must occasionally have visited Lon
don, for a letter from Mrs.• Alleyn, wife of the
actor, dated 20th October, 1603, Informs her
husband that she bad seen a Mr. Shakspeare,
of the Globe," in Southwark. Indeed, Mr.
Collier States that Shakspeare acted in Ben
Johnson's a Every Man in his Humor," in
1598, and "he is supposed to have written
part of, as well as known to have performed
in, the same author's' Sejanui,' in 1608."
The last that is heard of him as a member of
an acting company, and therefore liable to
perform, was in April, 1604. After this, the
character of a the King's players" greatly
deteriorated, and they gave offence to high
personages and the public. by performing po:.
lineal and indecent plays.
Shakspeare, at Stratford, continued to write
for the stage. Macbeth, written in 1605, and
produced at the Globe early in 1606, con
tained a compliment to Tames 1., which that
monarch is reported to have thanked Shaks.
peare for in a letter written with his own
band. Susanna, eldest dafighter -of William
and Anne Shakspeare, was married in June,
1607, being then 24 years old, to Dr. John
mil, of Stratford. Shakapeare's mother died
at New Place, in September, 1608. In that
TWO cENTs.
year, his income from the Blackfriars' Thea
tre'was atc least .6400—equal to 42,000 per
annum at the present value of money. In the
Diary of the Rev. John Ward, vicar. of Strat
ford from 1648't0 1679, it is mentioned that
Shakspeare , c in his eider days lived at Strati
rani, and supplied the stage with two plays
every year, and for it had an allowance so
largemat he spent at the rate of 41,000 a
year, as I have heard. ,, This amount, equal
to $26,000, is probably a misstatement, but it
shoWs that Shakspeare was rich and lived
well.
In . 1612, Shakspeare pirchased a house in
London, near the Blackfriars Theatre, for £l4O,
and mortgaged it the next day to Henry
Walker, the vendor, for £6O, having paid
down only £BO at the purchase. The two
documents of this purchase and mortgage,
signed by Shakspeare, are still extant, and'
will demand our attention when we have to
treat of Shakspeare's autographs. This house',
really was purchased for three of his friendsi i
who did- not repay him the . £6O mortgage;
money, as stieuiated, before Michaelmas, 1618.
Therefore, the house lapsed to Shakspeare,
on paying off the mortgige, and he bequeathed
it to his daughter Susanna.
• 'ln 1613, it would seem; Shakspeare finally'
'settled down at Stratford, clear of his-theatri-'
cal property, which he had disposed of. ,He
lived, at Stratford, upon equal terms, Rowe:
tells us, with the gentry of the neighborhood.
,In February, 1616, his daughter Judith, aged
31, was married to Thomas Quincy, wine
Merchant:Of Stratford. The bride was four
years older 'than her husband, jest as Ann
Hathaway had been four years 'older than
illiam Shakspeare.
.. •Ia March, 1616,.Shakspeare executed Ins
"last will and testament,” now on file, and to
be examined, ;"for= the small price of one
shilling," at Doctor's Commons, London.
On the 23d April, 1616, William Shakspeare
died,—the inscription on hiunionnmenrgives
the date, That same date, fifty-three years
before, had witnessed his birth. He. had pro
bably been attended by Dr. Hall, Ids son-ln
law, who is believeli to have lived with him at
New Place. The nature and duration of his
illness are. unknown. The Rev. John
Ward's Diary, alreadymentioned, has the fol
lowing undated paragraph :--(c Shakespeare, -
Drayton, and Ben Jonson, hid a merie meet
ing, and, it seems -drank too hard, for Shake- .
spear° :died : of. a favour there contracted."
This is - evidently mere ' hearsay,—picked up
many years after the poet's death. Shak
speare, no doubt, was companionable and
social,—Ben -Jenson, we know, was fond of
wine,—but we will not believe, on the mere
on dit of Mr. Ward, that his death was caused
by excess.

Cruelty in Prisons.
[For The Frage.)
There is at ge Isle aux Noix," in Lower Ca
nada, a reformatory prison, which, like all
other similar institutions, was founded in the
charity and benevolence of philanthropists,
where criminals who have met the severe
penalty of the law are received by the kind
hand of confidence, who, by gentle, mor
al discipline, strive to cure evil tendencies,
the results of which the law in its province
can but punish.
In the character of those who are thus
thrown upon the tutelage of these Howards,
there is oftentimes a perversity that needs the
most careful treatment, and justice and mercy
must be blended with the wisest discrimi
nation.
The original policy of these institutions is
sometimes modified and occasionally radically
changed, and they become nothing more than
a prison, with all the immoral and inhuman
practices of a Highgate, and the incarcerated
graduate with the degraded accomplishments
acquired from association with vicious com
panions and inhumane guardians. -
I have just heard of such a demoralization
in this Isle ,ana Noix reformatory prison in
Canada. The humane policy has been aban
doned, and one of such tyranny and inhuma
nity substituted, that every feeling heart cries
out in condemnation, and our liberality is
wounded, when we have to record that these
refined cruelties seem to be directed particu
larly against the Protestant boys of the insti
tution. We hear that these boys have been
flogged with rode ent green from: the woods_
(Dix dozen strokes each) until the flesh was
ploughed out of their bo dies, literally cut out
pieces, and when the poor sufferers begged for
mercy's sake Mitt the punishment might be
inflicted upon their backs, even that was de.
nied them, and the strokes delivered so that
they would strike the hardest, under the arm
and around upon the breast—the warden stand
ing by all the while and repeatedly giving
orders to 4 c strike hard." One poor boy in
particular received eight lashes after he was
perfectly insensible, : and remained in a state
of unconsciousness for twenty-five minutes
after the thongs were loosed and he was let
down upon the floor. Another boy has been
known to faint- three or four different times
from exhaustion and cruel treatment. It is
also true that persons have been selected to
inflict corporeal-punishment upon prisoners
against whom they were well known to harbor
feelings of the strongest hatred. Others have
been confined in dark cells for three months,
chained to the wall with twofeet of chain, and
are described as in a state bordering upon
insanity.
Who can read thesC.facts without the bit
terest indignation and abhorrence ? Can the
evil not be cured ? The salt of genuine kind
ness and Christianity should be thrown into
these cuss-pools of crime; just severity must
be moderated with merciful discrimination.
Instead, we find ell the lemons here taught
but inculcate despair andrevenge and awrong
evil nature festers into a hellish depravity,
that opens a vile Pandora's box on our so
ciety. Many of these culprits are more sinned
against than sinning;- and these institutions
might be made healing streams. We have no
control over English soil or Englishmen, but
the voice of outraged humanity should be
heard. Prisons should be reformatory, or the
evil is but suppressed, not cured; and men,
goaded to madness by the cruelty of their
taskmasters, go out worse than they came in,
and society has to pay the penalty of their
inhuman treatment. -

!From the New York Herald.]
Medal- infoimation has been received by the
Prolident, from which it appears that New York
will have fifty thousand men In arms by the let of
June, Pennsylvania forty thousand, Ohio thirty
five thousand, and Indiana. and Massa-
Ohnsette , eash abouttwenty-five thousand, and the
'other Staten in proportion. •
The employment - of - this immense force will de
pend mainly upon the course the Border Slave
!Bates will pursue in reference to the Secession
issue. As matters are situated now, it is the in
tention of the G Overnment ' to o nee the seventy-five
thousand zueu called into envies, together with
the regular army, forming an aggregate of about
one hundred thousand , men, as follows:
Fern. A corps d'armee of thirty-five thousand
men will be collected in and about Washington, for
the purpooe of defending the seat of Government,
protecting the military poste, controlling the Po
tomac and ChelaPeake bay, and keeping open the
oommunisallon between tile North and the capital.
Washington will serve for its point d'appui, while
its line of opprations will extend, all along the left
bank of the right shorei of the bay.
Second: A second corps, twenty-five thousand
strong, will be formed in and about St. Louis. A
portion of it will be employed in protecting the
Union "men and Federal property in .that State
from the' violence of Secession aympathiiers, and
the rest in holding Cairo, at the Junction of-the
.Ohio and Mississippi, the most important strategi
cal point in the West.
- •
Third' Of the remaining forty thousan', firs
thousand are expected to be thrown into Western
'reties, to form a nucleus around which the-Union
ists of that State will gather.
Fourth. Twenty-five thousand will be employed
in a demonatratioa fot the relief of Fort Wakens,
and the recapture of the other fortifications about
Pensacola bay.
Fifth. 'Ten thousand men will be kept hectoring
in steam-transports between Charleston and Sa
vannah; to 'worry the rebels' by neceasitatitig the
presence of a large defensive force inrboth places,
and effect a landing whenever opportunity aball
the army operations will be aeoonded by a Strict
blockade of the mouths of the Mississippi and all
-the Southern porta. Orders for ageneral blockade
have not, as reported already, been issued, bat will
- doubtless be given as soon as the steam frigates
now fitting out will be ready for lea. -
The programme reflects exaOtly what the 00-,
vermin' has decided to do, bet will, of course, be
materially changed in case Virginia and the other
Border Slave States should secede. Washington,
however, will be defended, ann Fort Piokens re
lieved, at any cost of blood and treasure.
Rumors, Rented.
The New York Times' Charleston correspondent
SIM 'Let . me assure year readers that Sumpter
was not "sonveloped in flames" at any time; that
the men were not sent out on a raft to colloot wa
• ter to extinguish -the .IIre; simply because there
was plenty of the article inside ; that the fort was
not breached at all, and that it WWI not a black
ened mass of ruins when Abe curtain "diopped en
the last act of the tragedy. No boat left Morrie
- Island- with a United States flag for Major Ander
_eon when his own was shot sissy, simply because
the Morris Island bays had ne anah flag to offer.
They so bate the stars and strlpee that they would
have , sooner been bitten by the moooasins of their
own swamps than touch an emblem of the Country
they have east off. It was a pretty telegraphic
.flation, but very false. Major Anderoma. surren
dered. simply because he found that the fort could
not oontinne the siege for any length of time.
Hs found that the United States vessels were not
coming in, and be wished to prevent a useless shed
ding of blood. The paper warriors may mouse
him of cowardice, but a purer, truer, more honest
man doea not walk this world.
Sinking of the Pittsburg Aqueduct.
[From the Pittaburg Gazette,l6th.3
On Sunday night, the aqueduot whioh carries the
water of the Pennsylvania canal from the north
,tilde of the Allegheny river into Pittsburg, mink
some twelve or Aileen feet between the mond and
third piers ftom the Allegheny side. It had been
" sagging" at the point three or four feet for
some months past, and although there was very
little water in the dock at the time ' it went down
during the night as above states , and is now ut•
terly uselese, so far as navigating it with boata is
esnoerned-
The non/duet was rebuilt some eighteen years
ago by Mr. Roabling, and Is a wire suspension
dock, on 'stone piers. When the sagging - com
menced, a corresponding elevation was made be
tween the adjoining piers, end it now presents a
series of depressions and elevations, rendering
passage for foot passengers very unsafe. It Is lin
possible for boats to pass it, and it will perbaps
never be repaired. The timbers are torn apart,
the iron stays are broken, and in some places the
flooring Is separated-from four to six inches. dome
few men still cross it, but it should be condemned
and closed.
Fortunately there are but two boats on this aide
of the rive; and they are likely to remain here.
All the neoessardy be transiernedto
the Allegheny side.
