COLERIDGE COTTAGE FUND.

[TO THE EDITOR OE THE "SPEOT&TOR.1 Stn,—Could you kindly allow me to call your reader's attention to the "Coleridge matinee" which is to be given at the Hay- market Theatre on Friday, November 13th, for wiping off the debt on the Coleridge Cottage? The memorial cottage at Nether Stowey will, I hope, have a good literary and general reference library attached to it. It will be another literary landmark for Somerset. I enclose details of the performance.—I am, Sir, ace., WILLIAM GICESWELL.

Dodington, Bridgwater.
