_The Cardinal Spider._--I have read somewhere an account of a singular

species of spider, which is of unusually large size, and is said to be

found only in Hampton Court Palace.

It is supposed by superstitious persons that the spirits of Cardinal Wolsey

and his retinue still haunt the palace in the shape of spiders; hence the

name "Cardinal."

Can any of your correspondents inform me where such an account is to be met

with, as I have forgotten the name of the book in which I have seen it?
