[5] Beauties of England and Wales, vol. vi. p. 108, Hants.  Mr.
        Cunningham states these additions to have been made by Wykeham. 
        We shall presently come to the details of Beaufort’s additions
        to the building.

    [6] A zealous Correspondent, P.Q., whose contribution appears
        in the next page, describes this gateway as resembling St. John’s
        Gate, Clerkenwell, which Mr. Malcom thinks “one of the most
        perfect remains of monastic buildings in London.”  It consists of
        one capacious arch, with an arched mullioned window in the centre
        above it; and is flanked by two square towers.  From this place
        issued the early numbers of the Gentleman’s Magazine; and a
        wood-cut of the building appears to this day on the wrapper of
        that valuable work, which, for knowledge and utility, is as
        superior to the Magazine frippery of the present day as Michael
        Angelo to John Nash.

    [7] Milner’s Winchester, vol. ii. p. 146.

    [8] The present Earl succeeded to the title on the death of his
        cousin, Francis, the learned Chancellor of the University of the
        Ionian Islands, founded by himself, and which he richly endowed
        with a noble bequest and a splendid library.  His Lordship is
        Rector of St. Mary’s, Southampton, Old and New Abresford and
        Medstead, in Hampshire, a Prebendary of Winchester, and Master
        of St. Cross, Hospital.

        Among many famous men who have presided over the Hospital, was
        Colonel John Lisle, of Moyles Court, Regicide, and M.P. for the
        City of Winchester.

    [9] From a paper in The Crypt, an antiquarian journal, printed
        at Ringwood, Hants, in the year 1827.  The writer observes that
        Dr. Milner has uniformly applied the term Saxon to the
        circular arches in this structure, as well as to similar
        specimens; but subsequent topographers have arrived at the more
        probable conclusion, that very slight remains, if any, now exist
        of ecclesiastical edifices by the Saxons.

SCRAPS FROM THE DIARY OF A TRAVELLER.

BY THOMAS MOORE, ESQ.

  O poets, poets, dream at home,
    If you would still have visions haunt you;
  Trust me, if once abroad you roam,
    That mar-all, Truth, will disenchant you. 
  Still think of VENICE, as in dreams
  You’ve seen her, by her ocean-streams;—­
  Fancy the calm and cool delights
  Of gondolas on summer nights: 
  Of sailing o’er the bright Lagoon,
