This correspondence, so interesting and so creditable to both parties, shows Liston to have had a kind heart and joyous disposition, and that such can exist with the highest notions of moral responsibility. Liston’s private life was retired and becoming, the love of literature, acquired early, never left him; few persons were greater students than he, and his knowledge of the Scriptures is said to have been very extensive. The illness which terminated his life first attacked him four years previously, in the form of apoplexy. The last attack came on suddenly, on March 16th, 1846, and he never spoke again. He lingered till the ensuing Sunday, when he died in the arms of his wife. That same day, and almost that same hour (half-past ten), thirty-nine years previously, and _on a Sunday too_, she had sworn “to love and to cherish till death should them part,” and thus literally she fulfilled her vow. He lies at Kensal Green; over his grave rises a column, bearing the following inscription:— “Sacred to the Memory of John Liston, who died March 22nd, 1846, aged 73. He lived many years an ornament to his profession, and died much respected and regretted.” Mrs. Liston survived her husband eight years. Born about 1780, she became a pupil of Kelly, and made her first London appearance in 1800. She was always a favourite with the public, the very appropriate part of _Queen Dolabella_, in “Tom Thumb,” being generally considered her best. She died at No. 28, Brompton Square, whither she removed from Knightsbridge, September 19th, 1854. Behind St. George’s Place was formerly a foot-barrack, established about 1758. It continued to be used as a depot until 1835 or 1836, when Government sold the remainder of their lease. On part of the drill ground St. Paul’s Church is built, and the barracks are let out as tenements. Over a portion of its parade-ground Mr. Dunn built the St. George’s Gallery, for his “Chinese Collection;” the “Exhibition of Modern Art” was also, with other attractions, located here; among them Mr. Gordon Cumming, with the relics of his African exploits. The lease of this property is just expiring, and various improvements are contemplated. TATTERSALL’S.—Richard Tattersall, founder of this well-known establishment, was born in 1723. He became training-groom to the last Duke of Kingston, after whose death, I presume, he started on his own account at Hyde Park Corner, as I find he sold off the Duke’s stud, and an injunction was applied for, December 14th, 1774, to prevent payment of the money to the Duchess, then under indictment. In 1775 frequent advertisements of Tattersall’s show that his business rapidly progressed, and his establishment soon became the head-quarters of the sporting world. That it early gained an aristocratic fame is proved by the allusion in “The Belle’s Stratagem,” first performed in 1782:—
