SOCIAL STRATA OF LQNOOil. The social stratification of London streets (aya Belgravia), la mum to the best advan tage in the course of a-walk from, Bay, Far nngdon street to Hyde Park Corner. In the course of this walk you tneet with thirty or forty distiuct types of mr-n, who may be broadly taken aa belonging to the same social class, but who possess, nevertheless, indi vidualities which a skilled observer will have very little difficulty in detecting. ' OLD llAU.KY WIT.NE38K8. If we start westward from St. Paul's Church yard, tlie.Jlrst important typo that we meet with is ihe Old Uailey witness. And it is curious to observe how wonderfully alike these Old Uailey witness are, considering that they are not brought together by any process of selection. They are merely a "fortuitous concourse of atoms," brought into contact by totally distinct chains of circumstance. They have, probably, no concern in common, save the desire to procure the conviction or ac quittal of the prisoners in whom they are respectively interested; but they seem to bo drawn from precisely the same class of society, nnd to bo, moreover, on intimate terms with each other. They all look as if they had been waiting about the corner of Ludgute Hill ami the Old Bailey for months jpast, and had had no opportunity of attending to their toilets during the time. They all look mildewy ami unwholesome; and they wear, fur the most part, the same look of painful preoc cupation. " 11KTTINO MEN." Who are tlieso seedy, gin-flavored, red nosed, knowing-looking fellows, who hang about the corner, common to Uridge street and Fleet street ? They occupy the whole breadth of the footway, and so drive respect able passers-by into the muddy roadway. They are betting-men, and they are busy with their books on the principal forthcoming "events." A curious feature of these gentry is, that their toilet is spruce, and, to a certain extent, neat, though decidedly llashy, as re gards the upper part of their persons; but the lower you go down, the seedier they get. Their hat3 are old, but they are glossy, not withstandingglossy with the gloss they derive from the application of wet sponges; their collars are olten clean, and their neck Koarfs aie arranged with an elaborate preci sion which you would look for in vaiif among members ot recognized professions; you will nnd them secured with a thick gold pin, and this thick gold pin will be stuck, with mathe matical precision, right into their exact cen tres. Hut after this comes a falling oil'. The coat, which once was blue or green, is a rusty brown, except in those parts which are partially protected from atmospheric and other influences by the collar, pocket-Ilaps, and arms, and from which you may obtain a clue that will guide you to the garment's original color. But, bad as are their coats, they are quite respectable when the trousers are taken into consideration; and the trousers are evidently, ashamed (and with reason) of their associa tion with the boots. I suppose that this anomalous state of things is to be accounted for by the fact that these gentlemen transact their business in great crowds, and the lower part of their persons being consequently concealed from view, they do not see the necessity of spending much money upon its adornment. "GBNTLEMEX OF TflE PRESS." Between this and Chancery Lane, the pre dominant feature in the crowd will be a num ber of seedy, rather dirty, but more er less intellectual-looking men, with long hair, un kempt Leards, and no gloves. These are pro bably journalists. They all know each other and they are all very sociably disposed. So much so, indeed, that they find it a work of time to get from one end of Fleet street to the Other. rKIMTEKS AND DEVILS. Gther features of this eastward half of Fleet street, are pale-faced men, with shook heads, and weak eyes, who go about in shirt-sleeves and slippers, and small boys with smudgy faces, big dirty calico aprons, and arms bared to the elbow. These are painters and"devils." They are to be found in great numbers about the turnings north of Fleet street, especially Wine Office Court, between one and two o'clock in the afternoon. They will turn up again when we have passed the Church of St. Jlary in the Strand. JiARRISTEKS ASD 11AR-STP DEXTS. Now we come under Temple influences. The ngly, clever-looking men, with powerful mouths and firm upper lips, who, are dressed carelessly enough, but who look like gentle men notwithstanding, are barristers, eminent at Westminster and Guildhall. It may be taken as a tolerably safe rule that, the shab bier the barrister, the more he has to do. There are certainly such things as dandy Queen's Counsel, and needy men in their first year to be found; but these may be taken as the exceptions which are said to prove every rule. The string of gentlemanly, well-dressed young fellows who are turning into Inner Temple Lane, as we pass, are bar-students, who are bound for the Common Law lecture, in Inner Temple Hall. They are smart enough now; but, ten years hence, if they attain any thing like success in the profession they have chosen, they will be as careless as to their personal appearance as they are now par ticular. The snutly, dried-up old gentleman, who is crossing the road towards Chancery Lane, and who would look like an under taker's mute, if we judged him by his clothes alcne, is an eminent common-law judge, on his way to Judges' Chambers in Scarjeauts' Inn. ff' INVENTORS AND flOVEKNMKNT CLERKS. Templo influences ext'-ml to Essex street; and from Kssex street to Somerset House there is little to remark in the p:issers-by, ex cept that there is a certain rustic look about many of them, combined with an expression of thoughtful anxiety on their faces, which suggests that they are inventors, and would be" patentees, who are occupying temporary lodgings in Norfolk and Arundel streets. l!winT a croun of raw youths, who are King's College students, we find ourselves in the iit of a crowd of tiasseutrers, most of whom are Government clerks. These are gentlemanly looking young men, who are tiiiployt's in the AHmirliv and Audit Offices, and others, not quite so gentlemanly, who devote their atten tion to the innumerable details of the Inland Revenue. THEATRICAL CHARACTERS As soon as we have passed Wellington ti.u at rami assumes a theatrical tone, which there is no mistaking. Close-shaven ' men with new hats, blue chins, and mous- tachios, pervade the thoroughfare in twos and threes, between Wellington street and Lacy a, i... iLtri,ni linokscller. Young ladies whose faces you seem to know, but you can't think where you have seen them pass and iePass, nodding to the blue-chinn genUe Iin anuearance is not altogether un- 4 nitlinu?h vou can't make out, whi vou and they have lur Lilt? i i 10 v " m , e i V fr..liun .ra a,.tnr mid actresses not of the first rank in the profession perhaps, but a i,ui.rlass Tirofessiouals, whose names, at all events, are known to you, if you . Wtv regular theatre-goer, ihey are THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, going to, or coming from rehearsal; or per haps the gentlemen are' out of engagements, and having no "lengths" to study, and no rehearsals to attend, find a consolation in spending the tedious day in the neighborhood of the theatrical taverns and small clubs, with which the district north of the Strand abounds; and, perhaps, the ladies are bound for their afternoon colfeo and buns at Crelghton's. ACTHOKS. The interval between Southampton street and the Adelphi may be regarded as the pecu liar property of dramatists, actors, essayists, and authors of every reputable class. Three or four well-known literary and theatrical clubs are within a few hundred yards of this classic spot; and it will rarely happen that you can traverse the short distance between Southampton street and the Adelphi, without meeting some one whose name, at all events, is, or should be familiar to you, if you pr tend to be at all an fait in literary or theatri cal affairs. This is particularly the case on a Saturday afternoon. New pieces of import ance are usually produced ou Saturday nights now-a-days; and the actors, dramatists, and critics who aro interested in the result, usually dine at one or other of the clubs to which I have alluded, before they proceed to the "business of the evening." "senior" cluh-mk.v. The interval between the Adelphi and Fall Mall has, peilaps, less individuality than any other portion of the route we have chosen. We will, if you please, avoid the llaymarket and make our way westward through Fall Mall. After passing an unsavory collection of Jew cigar-dealers, distinguished foreigners, and cheap little men about town, which infests the Colonnade, we reach the eastern limit of West Laid life. Fall Mall is, as everybody knows, the headquarters of London clubdom. The first indication of this is to be found in the pursy, mottle-faced old warriors who are to be seen going in and out of the "Senior." They do not lounge on the steps of their club, these mottle faced old gentlemen, as do their younger breth ren of the "Rag." They go in and come out with an air of doing it with a purpose; for the most Jiart, their days of lounging and loafing about .ondon are long past. They have been bucks of the first water in their day; but their day is gone by, and, though they are bucks still, they are bucks with a smack rather of the Regency than of the Victoria era. They still stick to the high collars, stiff satin stock, curly hat, and tight straps of forty years ago; but, for all their accuracy of dress and punctilio of manner, these old gentlemen, as a rule, are very jolly old gentlemen indeed, when they get together. They have good stories to tell about this or that dowager when she was a reigning beauty in '23, though, for matter of that, they do not confine their attention to dowagers. The beauties of '23 have grown old in mind as well as in body; but the dash ing subs who admired them then, have re mained much as they were, save in the mat ter of rank and outward appearance. Their faces are redder, and their moustaches whiter, their sword-bolts have been let out some half dozen holes, and their morning headaches have given way to chronic gout; but their tastes are those of young fellows of thirty, nevertheless. They have the reputation of being stern old pipeclayists, and the still high stock, cross-belts, and white-braided coattee, find staunch advocates among them still. Many of them are decrepit enough now; but see them on a leve day; decrepitude never looks so well as when decked out in stars, medals,. and K. C. li. ribbons, and passers-by, who would not hesitate to sneer at the quiet and rather eccentric looking old gentleman in clothes of superannuated cut as a "mouldy old fogy," step respectfully aside to allow him to pass, when decked in the bravery he has won in the Peninsula, India, and the Crimea. ATHENAEUM l'LlIi-MEN. Who are these solemn old gentlemen, with gold eye-glasses, and ugly, but intelligent faces, who are turning in and out of the build ing at the opposite corner of Waterloo Place ? They are members of the Athemeum, the most eminent, from an intellectual point of view, and the most unsociable from a domestic point of view, of all the first-class in London. These grave old gentlemen are distinguished antiquarians, adventurous travellers, emi nent divines, successful barristers, popular novelists, and first-class essayists. If you want to make one of them, you must wait patiently for the fifteen years or so which must elape between your nomination and election don't be deterred by the considera tion that you are not an eminent man now you may be utterly unknown to every soul m England, except your relations ind your tradespeople at the date of your nomination, and iireat Jintam may ring with, your tame long before your election. You will have plenty of time between those two dates, to make for yourself a famous name and to lose it, and be utterly forgotten, too, for matter of that. OTHER CM'liliOM. These busy, independent-looking gentle men are members ot tlie lietorm Club; and those remarkable, centlemanlv-lookinc old Conservatives are members of the Carlton two clubs that sit side by side, and frown at each other out or the corners ot their eyes, hue two old ladies who are not "on terms," but who happen to rent adjoining stalls at the opera. Another batch of daslnng-gomg civil ser vants are hoverins about the entrance to the War Office; and, opposite, a croup of smart young warriors are lounging about the steps ot the Katr. These vomit: "entlemen are a fair type of better middle-class young English men, lhevare irenenulv well-dressed: they smoke fair cigars; thev are honorable; they are in debt; thev are brave; they are rather fast; but, nevertheless, thev are gentlemanly. I should like to talk about them for two or three pages more, for I take a kindly pleasure in studying tne ways and means ot these mili tary and civil rervants of the Crown ; but the exigencies of time and space will only allow nie to glance at them in j,ussiut. The British linesman is altogether a peculiar beinj utterly unlike any other member of any other profession, and he deserves an essay to him self. As you see him here on the steps of the Rag, he is probably up from Aldershott, Can terbury, or Colchester, for a few days in Pic cadilly, the Burlington Arcade, anil (in the season) Rotten Row and the drive and for a few nights at the burlesque theatres. Passing the gloomy portals of the Oxford and Cambridge Club, with its clerical and country e,eiitlemen members, and the sung little "Guards," with its soldierly, aristocratic habitues, we come upon St. James street, whore the constituents of all the clubs in Pall Mall, besides those of Arthur's, White's, Boodle's, the Conservative, the St. James, the New University, and" half-a-dozen others, meet on common ground, and so on into Piccadilly, where the stream of West Knd life is consider ably adulterated by the admixture of a power ful trade element, which, however, may be said to cease where the Green Park begins, and from this point to Hyde Park Corner, the people you meet are, for the most part, such as thoso you found in Pall Mall, together with a considerable sprinkling of the mercan tile and clerkly element, especially betwgeu 4 and 6 o'clock in the afternoon.
