A correspondent writes to ibn St. James' Gazette:—" May J ask a corner in your paper tv protest against one incident in Mr Glad stone's journey to Scotland which happens to affect me somewhat seriously? Tim train stopped several minutes at Hawick, during which time the right hon. gentleman said that h« ' regarded Hawick as the birthplace of his family.' For the last month I have been busy compiling ii little booklet of views, with illuntra tive letterpress, of the chief places where Mr Gladstone was born. This includes front and side views of his birthplace in Wales, a bird's-eye view of Leith (where Mr Gladstone was born), two sketches of the house where he first saw tho light in Lancashire, and one of his Norway birthplace. By springing Hawick upon me after the volume had gone to press, the right hon. gentleman detracts from the completeness of my book. I may add that it will bo out in a fortnight, under the title ' The More Famous Birthplaces of Gladstone.'"

" Called Back" continues to attract large audiences to the Princess Theatre. Last night, in spite of the snowstorm, the house downstairs was crowded, and the dress circle was also well tilled. The acting was received with marked signs of approval. It may not bo out of place to remind our rondeni that it will he repeated to-night for the last time, as it gives place to "My Partner" on Saturday night. Those who have not yet seen " Called Back" should therefore take advantage of this oc casion.
