CLUB LIFE IN LONDON.
Old and New Cluba Their Origin and
Peculiarities Aacsent Cofl'e-lIasea
ad Curious 6lg;n.
John Timbs has 1ut published,' in London, a
(ketch and pleasant book, n titled "Club Life
in London, with Anecdotes of the Clubs, Coffee
Houses, and Taverns of the Metropolis during
the 17tb, 18th, and 19th Centuries." The first
volume contains notices of a hundred London
clubs and their most famous members, and the
second has a variety of miscellaneous gossip
About London coffee-house and London taverns.
Mr. Timbs begins by controverting Carlyle'a
speculation that the woid club is a relic, "in a
singularly dwindled condition," of the vow or
,' gelubde of the chivalrous societies common six or
seven hundred years ago. The Tern plars, Hos-
' pitallers,kand others never called their orders
clubs; and the noun is held to be derived from
the old verb "to club," that is, to join in part-
nership for anything. The word club in its
social sense coincides in its spelling only by an'
accident witn the quite different wora club, that
means a bludgeon or a cudgel. The two words
' aTe of a different origin. The social idea of club
k binsr, applied to the division of an expense
among sevsral persons as when Steele wrote in
the Taller, "We were resolved to club for a
coach" is from the Anglo-Saxon cleofan, to
cleave or divide. It wai apolied in that sense
to social meetings at which men clubbed top-ether
their sevoral shares to produce soma
common result.
ODD NAMES.
The fanciful clubs described in the Spectator
"' were hardly beyond the truth. There were the
. Beefsteak Club and the October Club, where,
says Kwlit, "above a hundred Parliament men
who drink October beer meei. to consult affaira,
and til We things on to extremes against the
whips;" the Saturday Club, of which Swift was
a member, although he grumbled at the number
of lis members and the weakness of its wit, and
the Brothers' Club, of which he himself was the
founder. "We take in none," he said, "but men
pi wit and men of interest, and if we go on as we
began, no other club in this town will be worth
talking of." The Brother' was broken up in
1714, to be followed bv the Scriblerus Club, also
founded by Swtit, with Oxford and 8t. John,
Arbuthuot, Pope, and Gay lor raemaers.
THE OLDEST CLUB IK ENGLAND.
The Royal Society Club is the oldest nowin ex
istence in England. It originated with Dr. Hal
ley, who "used to come on a Tuesday, from
Greenwieh, tha Koyal Observatory, to Chili's
Coflee-house, where literary people met for con
versation." The talk lasted bo long that tney
were often troubled where to get their dinner.
At last they arranged, according to the old letter-writer
quoted by Mr. Timbs, "to go to a
house in Dean's court, between an ale-house and
a tavern, w here there was a prcat draught of
porter. It was kept by one lteynell. It was
agreed that r ue ol the company should go and
buy Csh In Newgate street, having first informed
iimselt' how many meant to stay and dine. The
ordinary and liquor uHually came to hrilt'-a-cro urn,
and the dinner onh cotMsfd of nab. and pud
ding. Dr. Uall?y mover ate anything but fish,
lor ae had no teeth." That was in 1731. Before
lonir Keynell took the King's Arms, in St. Paul's
Churchyard. Dr. Halley and his friends went
with him, "ana the? bgan to have a little
meat." On Ilalley's death kis friends remove 1
to the Mitre, m Fleet street, and thers, in 1743,
established the Club of Royal Philosopher.
Fifty year later the name was changed to tno
Kojal Society Cluo. And as such, ia various
houses, it has flourished to this day.
GAMBLING AT WHITl'g A CEHTUBY ACJO.
Arthur's and White's, orlulnallr coffee-houses.
became famous as clubs about the middle of tho
eighteenth century. Boodle'fc was founded about
1773. and Brooke's in 1778. All were rreat
rawing places, and lumous a tut resort of Fox
and bhendan, Setwjn, Garrink, and others of
mat lime, aDout unoin Mr. Timbs collects a
number of curious anecdotes.
Thers was heavier gambiiug at White's thaa
aturooKe s. Air. nmos says:
"At White's, the leimt diUerenee of onlnlon In
variably ended in a bet, and a book for entering
the particulars of all bets was always laid uoon
the table; one of these, with eucrles ot a date a
early as mt, air. unnn'ugnaro tells us. had
leeu preserved. A book lor euteriug bets U
still laid on the table.
"In tnese betting boons are to be found hat
on biithfl, deaths, and marriages; tho length of
a me, or tue uurauoa ui a luiuieiry; me place
man's proipect of a coronet; on the shock of an
earthquake; or iho last scandal at Hanelazh, or
Madame Coruelys'. A man dropped ('own at
the door ol White's; he was carried into tho
house. (Vas he uVad or not? The odla wra
immediately given and taken for and asralnnt.
It W8S proposed to bli-ed him. Those who ha i
taken the odds the man was dead, protested
" that the use ot a lancet would affect the falrneni
of the bet.
"Waioole five om of these narratives a
good stor es 'made on W hiteV A parson ora
leg into the club on the morning ot the earth
quake ot 1760, and bearing bet laid whether the
hotk was caused by an eariLquake, or the
blowing up of powdor mills, vent away in hor
ror, protesting mpy were sucn an impious sew
that he believed if the Inst trump were to pound
they would bet puppet-enow against Judgment.
Giliy Williams writes to Helwyn, lH6t, 'Lord
Diirbv is soon to be married to Miss Fielding.!
Thousands might have been won in this house
(Whites), on his lordhblD not knowing mat
such a being existed. -i
"Mr. Cunninghatn tells ns that 'the marriage
ol a young lady of rank would occasion a bet of
a hundred guineas that she would give birth to
a live child before the Countess of 1 , who
had been married tlireo or even more mouths
be'ore her. Heavy b.;ts were pending that Ar
thnr, Tiho was then a widower, would oe mar
ried blore a member of the club ot about the
came age, and ali-o a widower: aud that Sarah,
Duchess ot Marib ro-h, would outlive tho old
Duchess ot Cleveland. '
' 'Ona of the vouth at White Si' writes WalDolo
to Muun, Julv 10, 174, 'has committed a mur
der, and intends to repeat it. lie betted 1500
that a mHn could live twelve hours under water;
Uired a desperate fellow, sank him in a ship,
by way ot experiment;, and both whip and man
have not nnoearcd since. Another man and
ship nre to be tried lor their lives, instead of Mr.
Blake, the assassin.' "
THE LATER CLUBS.
One oi the earliest clubs of the modern period
is "ihc Athemeum. " ii w3 started in 1824, at a
meeting in the rooms of the Koyal Society, Sir
llumpiireT uavy, Mr waiter ttoott, Chautrey,
and Sir Thomas Lawrence beina anion i thooo
present, and Professor Faraday acted as Sccre
tnry. It was then agreed to establish the club
as "the Society." Its name was afterwards
chnnired to "the Athenieura," and in 1M0 it was
loosed in the Duiiding 1c now occupies, a build
ing designed by Dcclinus Burton according to
Greek aicl.iteoture, ith a frieze exactly copied
ireni the Panathcuuic piocession in the frieze ot
the Parthenon, and with Batlv's figure oC
llinerva over its Doric entrance portico.
'Hie iteioim ciub was established by thcliberal
members of Parliament, who were working
together in 18S0-32 for the carrying of the Re
turn! bill. It was lodged in Great George street
and In Gwydyr Hous. Whitehall. uDtil the end
tl 1837, when its present homo was built from
tne design ot Barry.
The Carlton, founded br the Duke of Welline-
ton In 183, had, in 1830, a new house built for
it in Pall Mall from the designs of Sydney
Smirke, who rebuilt it in 1H64 on a more sump
tuous scale, as a copy of Sansoviuo's Library ot
St. Mark at Venice. A combination ot Sanso
vino's Library oi Su Mark aud hi Pala.za Cor
ners was designed by Messrs. Parnell & Smith,
for the Army and Kuvy Club-house, opened in
1861.
About all the later clubs, comlnsr down to the
Whitiington, started in J 84G, with Douglas Jer
rold lor its nrst President, Mr. Timbs has abun
dance of fact and anecdotes, lie thentuins
back two hundred years to talk orthe.
4 OLD COI-FEE-BOU6ES.
A bicture of the coffee-house life of England a
century and a half since is given in the well
known "Journey through England" in 1714, thus
quotea Dy Mr. ximos:
"I am lodged," says the tourist, "in the street
called Pall Mall, the ordinary residence of all
strangers, because of its vicinity to the Queen's
Palace, the Park, the Parliament House, the
tneatres, ana tae cnoaciate and codec nouses,
where the b st comnanv freouent. It vou would
know our manner ot living, 'lis thus: We rise
by nine, and those that freauent creat men's
levees find entertainment at thetn till eleven, or,
as in Jrionana, go to tea-taDies; aDout twelve tae
beau monde assemble in several coffee or choco
late houses: the best of which are the Cocoa
Tree and White's chocolate houses, St. James',
tue Smyrna, Mrs. Kocniord's and the .British
coffee-houses: and all these so near one another
that in less than an hour you see the company
oi tnem ail. we are carried to tnese places in
chairs (or sedans), which are here very cheap,
a guinea a w eek, or a shilling per hour, and
your chairmen serve you tor porters to run on
errands, as your gondoliers do at Venice.
"it it do tine weather, we take a turn into the
Park till two, when we go todincer; and if it
be dirty, you are entertained at niciuet or basset
at White's, or you may talk politics at the
Smyrna or St. James'. I must not forget to tell
you mat tue parties nave tneir ainerem places,
n'Vinrn nnuiavan a ifvonrrAi ia olnrava tirnl I vi-
reived; but a Whig will no moro go to tho
Cocoa-trce or ozinda'8, than a Tory ami oe seen
at the coffee-house of St. James'.
'The Scots go generally to tb.e British, and a
mixture of all sorts to the Smyrna, i There are
other little collce-honses much frequented in
this neighborhood Young Man's lor officers,
Old Man's for stock-jobbers, pay master sand cour
tiers, and Little Man' for sharpers. I never was
so confounded in my life as when I entered into
this last; I saw two or tbree tables full at faro,
heard the box and dice rattling in the room
above stairs, and wad surrounded by a set or
sharp faces, that I was afraid would have de
voured me with their eyes. I was glad to drop
two or three hali'-crowus at faro to get otF with,
a clear fckin, and I was overjoyed to get rid ol
them.
"At two. we generally go to dinner: ordi
naries are not so common here as abroad, yet
the French have set up two or tbree good ones
tor tnc convenience ot torcigners in aunois:
street, where one is tolerably well served; but
the general way hoce is to make a party at the
coflee-house to go to dine at the tavern, there
we sit till six, when we go to the play; except
you are invited to the table of some great man.
vibicn stiaoGrers are always courted to, ana
nobly entertained."
A curious chapter at tne ena ot tue dooic nas

THB ORIGIN OF TAVERN SIGNS.
"The cotrnizancs of many illustrious persons
connected with the Middle Ages are still pre
served in the signs atteched to our taverns ana
inns. Thus the White Hart with the golden
chain was the badge of King Richard II; the
Antelope was that ot King Henry IV; tne
feathers was the cognizance of Henry VI, and
the Wsite Swan was tie device of Edward of
Lancaster, his ill-fated I eir, slain at the battle of
lewkesbury.
"Before the Great Fire of London in 16G6,
almost all the liveiles of the great feudal lords
were preserved at these houses of publie resort.
Many of their ieraldio signs were then unfortu
nately lost; but the Bear end Bagged Staff, the
ensign of the famed Warwick, still exists as a
sign: while the Star of the Lords of Oxford, thn
brilliancy of which decided the late ot the battlo
of Burnet; the Lion of Norfolk, which sbont so
conspicuously on Bot-worth Field; the Sun of tho
ill-omened house of York, togethei with the Bed
and White Rose, either simply or conjointly.
carry the historian and the antiquary back to a
dUtant period, although now disguised in tho
gaudy coloring oi a irotniy painira sign-Doara.

land. It was a proper emblem ot victory and

White Horse is to this day the ensign of the
county of Kent, as we see upon hop pockets and
bags; and throughout the county it is a favorite
inn sign.
"In Flecknoe's Enigmatical Characters, 1605,
In alludlncr 10 'vour tauatick reformers' he sayfc:
'as for the signs, they have pretty well begun
the reformation aireaay, cuanging ine sign ot

Wheel into the Cat and Wheel, so that there only
