Visit To Stratford-On-Avon And Its Vicinage.

VISIT TO STRATFORD-ON-AVON AND ITS VICINAGE .

BY BEO . GEORGE MABKIIAM : TWEBDELI , Author of "Shakspere : his Times and Contemporaries , " § -c . ( Continued from page 384 . ) I was agreeably surprised to find Stratford-on-Avon as neat a little market-town as one can see in a day ' s inarch ; for I had often been tolcl thatwere it not for

, its historical associations , the p lace would be totally unworthy of notice . This , however , is not the case . There is an appeai'ance of comfort and neatness about the exterior of the houses which I have seen in few places ; how far the interior corresponds , I had no means of judging ; but for strangers , who , like myself , know no

one in Stratford , I should advise them to visit Bro . Hartley , mine host of the Golden Lion ; and , if they are lovers of the English drama , they ivill find a treat in his line collection of engraved portraits of those who have done honour to the sock and buskin—a collection which is perhaps not to be equalled in the provinces . I had just refreshed myself with a comfortable bath

—and I know of few things more delicious on a warm day—and hacl sauntered forth into those streets so often trod by the great dramatic bard , and was comparing ( as well as I coulcl ) its present appearance with that which it would then bear , when the joyous strains of a band of music greeted my ears , and anon the members of the Beecher Club appeared in procession , donned in their

holiday attire ( for they are principally working men ) , each one wearing a small rosette on his breast , and bearing in his hand a green wand , surmounted with a gilt knob . They were just returning from church , where an excellent sermon , I was tolcl , had been preached to them oy our Bro . the Eev . Granville Granville , the Vicar . I

was , however , too late for the service , else I could have wished to have reverently joined in the beautiful liturgy of our National Church iu that fine old building , where Shakspere and his family , with numbers of their friends and acquaintances , so often joined in the same " form of sound words , " and where their ashes repose until the resurrection .

Stratford-on-Avon is a place of considerable antiquity . Its name is derived from its situation on the great street- or highway leading from Loudon to Birmingham ; and from the / ore / over the river Avon , whicli then had to serve instead of a bridge . Soon after the conversion of the Saxons to Christianuy '' , a monastery was founded hereof which StEgwin * who ted third

, . , was consecra Bishop of " Worcester in the year 693 , was sometime superior . The present parish church is supposed by Belaud to have been erected upon the site of the ancient monastery . But we must off to the Town-hall , where the guests are already assembled . Before enteringlet us lance afc

, g its exterior . The first thing about it which attracts my attention is the elegant statue of Shakspere , placed in a niche at the north-west corner of the building . This statue reminded me of the one designed by Kent , and executed by Scheemaker , which now stands in the Poets ' Corner of " Westminster Abbey . The great dramatist is

represented leaning upon a pile of books ( doubtless "full of glorious things" ) , placed on a pedestal , ornamented like the "Westminster monument , with busts of Harry the Fifth , King Dick , aud Queen Bess . Upon
