he mineral waters, to 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.

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.
