d some of his adventures with this person, causing
roars of laughter by a description of a night in the garden of a
Boarding School, into which he had been entrapped on the pretext that
the actor was about to run away with one of the young ladies. In the
most comic fashion, he related how he had been captured by the whole
school, headed by its principal, and locked up in a cupboard, and was
only released by his faithful man, Sam, whom, personally, some of them
knew--(loud applause.) Well, after frustrating the knavish tricks of
this actor, he at last found him in a debtors' prison in the most
abject misery and destitution, and he was happy to tell them, that the
man was completely reformed, and getting an honest livelihood in one
of our colonies. Such was his experience of the actors' profession.

Pickwick, has taken a deep interest, took place at the historic town
of Ipswich, when Mr. Sidney Porkenham, eldest son of --- Porkenham,

Camberwell, where it was exhibited and excited universal admiration.
It consisted of a watch and curb chain of the finest workmanship, for
Mr. Pickwick placed no limit on Micklethwaite. We understand that at
a recent dinner at Mr. Humberstone, our esteemed rector's, Mr.
Pickwick, after alluding to Miss Nupkins and the coming marriage,
literally convulsed the party by relating his famous adventure at the
Great White Horse, which he tells in the raciest style, and how it led
to his being led off prisoner, and brought before his friend, Mr.
Nupkins, then Mayor of Ipswich. At the close he became a little
pensive. "Ah! poor Peter Magnus! and Miss W---, sorry! I'm sorry,
very." Our Rector has often "chaffed" this worthy gentleman on his
midnight adventure, saying,
