ELY HOUSE, the city mansion of the Bishop of Ely, was formerly called Ely’s Inn. It is situated in Holborn, and stands on a large piece of ground. Before it is a spacious court, and behind it a garden of considerable extent; but it is so ill kept that it scarcely deserves the name. The buildings are very old; and consist of a large hall, several spacious rooms, and a good chapel. EMANUEL _Hospital_, at Tothill side in Westminster, was founded by the Lady Dacres, in the year 1601, for twenty old bachelors and maids, sixteen of whom to be of St. Margaret’s parish Westminster, two of Hayes, and two of Chelsea parishes; each of whom have an allowance of 10_l._ _per annum_, with the liberty of bringing up a poor child. According to certain constitutions formed by the foundress’s executors, no person of ill fame, or that cannot say the creed and ten commandments in English; or are under fifty years of age; or have not lived three years in the said parishes, are to be admitted upon this foundation. The city of London is intrusted with the management of this charity, and is to receive annually 200_l._ for its support, out of an estate in Yorkshire, till the expiration of a lease of 199 years, when the produce of the whole manor, which is said to amount to above 600_l._ _per annum_, is to be appropriated to the augmentation of this foundation. Some time ago the Court of Lord Mayor and Aldermen caused to be erected at the upper end of this hospital, a handsome school house and dormitory, for the reception of twenty poor boys and girls, who were first admitted in the year 1735. They are supplied with the necessaries of life; the boys are taught reading, writing, and accounts; and the girls reading, writing, and plain work.

Almost in the center of Enfield Chace, are the ruins of an old house, said to have belonged to the Earls of Essex. Here is a fine lodge for the ranger, and the skirts of the chace abound with handsome country houses belonging to the citizens of London. When King James I. resided at Theobalds, this chace was well stocked with deer, and all sorts of game; but in the civil wars it was stripped both of the game and timber, and even let out in farms: however, after the restoration it was again laid open, woods were planted, and the whole chace afresh stocked with deer.
