THE GOLDEN LION, FULHAM, "should not," writes G.W.'s Correspondent, T. C. C. "be confounded with the Golden Lion, Brompton, the exterior decoration of which was figured in 'Current Notes,' No. III. for March, 1851, p. 22, with a facetious reference to Sir Charles Eastlake's speech at the Macready dinner." And it appears to G. W.'s Correspondent that T. M. in "Current Notes" for March last, No. XV. p. 19, and the Rev. Dr. Hume, of Liverpool, February, No. XIV. p. 10, are both in an unnecessary "_fume_" about what easily admits of explanation; if, indeed, the history of an old tobacco pipe required one. "Suppose," says T. M. "that I was in a hoaxing humour, and that no such Inn ever existed at Fulham as the Golden Lion?" "Now," continues our Correspondent, "I may as well suppose that no such person ever existed as T. M., but to prove that such an Inn existed at Fulham as the Golden Lion, I send you a series of twelve sketches which were presented to me by Mr. Henry Warren, the President of the New Society of Watercolour Painters, and which were made of and in it in April, 1836, previous to the old hostelrie being pulled down and replaced by a modern public house bearing the same name. You have my permission to engrave any one or two of these studies, and I have been assured that the oak panneling of some of the principal rooms was purchased by a dealer, and re-sold to the Earl of Ellenborough for the fitting of his Lordship's residence, Southam House, Cheltenham." [Illustration] _Availing himself of this permission, G. W. has caused first to be engraved_ the Chimney Piece of the back room, ground floor, South side, _and opposite_ the Chimney Piece, back room, first floor, _as characteristic specimens of this curious old house_. FORMATION OF THE UNION JACK. Esplanade, Sidmouth, March 27th, 1852. SIR,--The annexed may possibly be of use to H. M. in your "Current Notes" for March, but I am not able to refer to the work from which it is taken. Yours obediently, W. G. CLARKE. Mr. WILLIS. _St. George's red cross on a white ground, and St. Andrew's white cross (diagonally) on a blue ground. In 1800, St. Patrick's red cross, on a white ground, was added._ _The flag should be constructed to shew the three crosses distinctly._ THE UNION JACK. Yarm^o, March 29th. 1852. SIR,--"H. M." of the March "Current Notes," p. 20, enquires "the formation of our British Union Jack." To describe it in heraldic terms is as follows: Az. a cross saltire argent encalved gules; over all a common cross, the same as first. I believe there are no given rules as to its proportion. This appears to be the best, viz. the breadth three-fourths of the length. But the inclosed, forwarded to H. M., will suffice for all.[A] W. THE UNION JACK AND MONUMENTAL BRASSES.
