Under The Garland.

of his celebrated trial . By-the-by , if you find a man bearing the titles Horatio Nelson , you can safely guess that he is about 74 years of age , as the boys called Inkermann and Balaklava and the girls known as Alma and Kertch may be credited now with some four or five and twenty summers . Well , Sacheverell , let us call him , held the " Garland" bravely during the few fearful days of June , ' 80 , and hung out a banner inscribed , " No Popery— the Protestant Religion for ever , " and stuck all over

the front of the old " Garland" posters displaying the legend , " All true Protestants may drink at this establishment free ! gratis !! for nothing !! ! " and , they say , liberally Avateredthe liquors consumed as liberally by the pious rabble—and , it is recorded , made a very handsome claim afterwards upon the hundred or lieutenancy , or whatever the compensating tribunal is called , and , obtaining half of his demand , was not unreasonably satisfied at having saved the establishment from pillage , and at the same time secured

a more than adequate price for the refreshment ostensibly gratuitously supplied . So , while the volleys of the train bands firing from the west front of the Bank of England , up the thoroughfare of the Poultry , reverberated through the apartments of the " Garland , " the Protestant mob at Wreath ' s slaked their religious thirst , and that establishment was by no means damnified . Its bar to this day possesses but one article of adornment . Over the diminutive grate , where a kettle is always hissing , is the portrait in oils , by Dauber—that great city delineator , afterwards R . A . —of its renowned drawer—tapster—proprietor—what not ?—Sacheverell so and so—I have forgotten his

patronymic . He is represented in orthodox sables and small clothes—a smug clean- shave dman—a cob-vvebbed bottle grasped in his left hand—while with his right , on the point of a corkscrew , he presents to you , very much foreshortened , a cork , upon the brown disc of which yon read , inscribed in a circle , the mystic words , " Black Strap , " and , in the centre , the numerals " 1746 " ! 1746 , the Tower Hill year—the year of Kilmarnock , Balmerino , and Lovat—the year of the new block and the hired house

overlooking the hill , and the moat , and the Beauchamp Tower ; the scaffold draped with black , and the hearses drawn up at the side , and the space lined with troops mounted and on foot , and the brave gentlemen with the tartan caps on the doomed heads , and the man in the mask , and the—and the cause of it all—half naked—half starvingmore than half drunk—the cause of it all— " the expectancy and rose of this fail' state , " still , in hundreds of thousands of loyal and gentle minds ; His Royal Highness Charles

Edward Prince of Wales , Duke of This , Earl of That , Baron T ' other , Lord of the Soand-So , etc ., etc ., etc ., Knight of the most Noble Order of the Garter , Knight Commander of the Ancient and Honourable Something , and Chevalier of the Illustrious Something-else , and so on , and so on , and so on , smoking a very short , and very black , and very foul " cutty , " gulping down neat whiskey ; while inadequately sheltered from the bitter searching northern blast , and the snoAvy sleet , and the driving rain , and the marrow-piercing blinding mist , on a damp and lonely mountain side , by the heatherthatched roof and the mud walls of a squalid Highland bothy !
