Pernambucco, June 30. 1851.
_Aldgate, London._ (A Note for London Antiquaries)--After this gate was
taken down in 1760, Sir Walter Blackett, of Wallington, Northumberland,
obtained some of the ornamental stone (part of the City arms, heads and
wings of dragons, apparently cut in Portland stone, and probably set up
when the gate was rebuilt in 1606), and used them in decorating Rothley
Castle, an eye-trap which he erected on the crags of that name, near
Wallington.
