milar in its build to that of the late MR. RUSH. Any unpleasant feeling, or objection on his part to such a statement, might be quelled by MRS. CARTER immediately striking up, "_A man's a man for a' that_." Whether Phrenology is made any clearer or not by MRS. HAMILTON'S musical illustrations of it, we dare say that those illustrations are anyhow very well worth hearing. * * * * * FINE FEEDERS. It appears that the Sheriffs of London are fined from L500 to L600, in the guise of a subscription to the LORD MAYOR'S Dinner. Now this is a tolerable fork-out, for any one who can stand it, even if destined to the promotion of a high object, but considering what kind of purpose it is actually squandered on, we must call it a knife-and-fork-out that is quite intolerable. * * * * * THE CZAR'S CHECK. The EMPEROR OF RUSSIA has drawn his money out of the Bank of England, which he seems to identify with that of the Danube, whereon a handsome check was presented to him by the Turks. * * * * * PRETTY LITTLE THOUGHT.--The Squirrel jumps from branch to branch, the Flirt from beau to beau. * * * * * A REAL SCOTTISH GRIEVANCE.--LORD ABERDEEN. * * * * * KNOWLEDGE.--The Offspring of Thought, but much oftener an Adopted Child. * * * * * [Illustration: "A BURST WITH THE HARRIERS IN THE WEST." "I AX YER PARDON FOR STOPPING OF YE, SIR, BUT COULD YE LEND ME A GIRTH? MINE'S A BROKEN."] * * * * * MRS. JANE GIMLET ON "CRUELTY TO WIVES."
