send in their accounts immediately, and to apply on Saturday, the
27th inst., when they will be paid in full, as the RIGHT HONOURABLE
LORD TOM NODDY has no desire to increase the ducal revenues of any
German principality with money that belongs properly to his
creditors.--239, Belgrave Square.

TOO MODEST BY HALF.
Most of the illuminations in honour of the Emperor's fete at Paris,
displayed the glittering initials, N. E. This was only telling half the
truth. It wanted the addition of R. O. for the French nation clearly to
understand in whose honour the fete was given.

THE PEACEFUL MOOD.

in 1,000 hours--at Noah's Ark, Hartshill, continues to attract much
attention, great numbers of people visiting her. She has
accomplished about four-sixths of the task, and is very confident of
success."
It has been said with no less truth than vulgarity, that the walking of
womankind is all WALKER. Too generally, indeed, it resembles a mode of
progression adopted by the insect tribes, except in being performed with
two legs instead of several, or without any at all. All praise to the
exception to this rule presented by MRS. DUNN. We have not the pleasure
of being acquainted with either that lady or MR. DUNN, but sure we are
