_Cromwellian Gloves._--The _Cambridge Chronicle_ of May 6, says that there

is in the possession of Mr. Chas. Martin, of Fordham, a pair of gloves,

reputed to have been worn by Oliver Cromwell. They are made of strong

beaver, richly fringed with heavy drab silk fringe, and reach half way

between the wrist and the elbow. They were for a long time in the

possession of a family at Huntingdon. There is an inscription on the

inside, bearing the name of Cromwell; but the date is nearly obliterated.
