the dor of the humble eboad stood hopen, and I passed through the little garding where
the close was hanging out to dry. My snowy ploom was ableeged to bend under the
lowly porch, as I hentered the apartmint.

u Nothing, perhaps, ever created so great a sensashun as my hentrance to St.
Jeames's, on the day of the Levy. The Tuckish Hambasdor himself was not so much
remarked as my shuperb turn out.
" As a Millet)tary man, and a North Diddlesex Huzza, I was resolved to come to the
ground on hossback. I had Desparation phigd out as a charger, and got 4 Melentery
dresses from Ollywell Street, in which I drest my 2 men (Fitzwarren, hout of livry,
woodnt stand it), and 2 fellers from Rimles, where my hosses stand at livry. I rode
up St. Jeames's Street, with my 4 Hadycongs—the people huzzaying—the gals waving
their hankerchers, as if I were a Foring Prins—hall the winders crowdid to see me
pass.
u The guard must have taken me for a Hempror at least, when I came, for the drums
beat, and the guard turned out and seluted me with presented harms.
"What a momink of triumth it was ! I sprung myjestickly from Desperation. 1 gav
the rains to one of my horderlies, and, salewting the crowd, I past into the presnts
of my Most Gracious Mrs."
New Project.—We have been given to understand that a company is in the
course of formation to cut through the narrow neck of land known as the Isthmus of
Suez. The Directors are just the men to be at the head of such an undertaking,
for it is said to be neck or nothing with them all.
SCIENTIFIC INTELLIGENCE.
The Pharmaceutical Society held its first convermzionf
this month. The meeting was numerously attended.
The object that attracted most attention in the lecture-
room was a soda-water jug, the beauty of it consisting in,
giving a gratuitous shower-bath to those standing opposite
when the liquid was discharged into a glass held at an angle
of 45°. At the conclusion of the meeiing, the students
adjourned to the Laboratory. "
Ms. Q,uiddy having called himself to the sand-bath,
ordered the attendant to produce the banquet, which con-
sisted of three carboys of punch a la laboratoire, a plum-
cake with a pestle and mortar in the centre, walnuts and
chloride of sodium, unlimited tobaccorine, the hydrate of
oxide of ethule being in the ascendant, protoxide of hydrogen
bearing an inverse ratio.
A distingue young man rose : he said he had heard the
term " Old Brick''frequently used that evening ; he thought
the Latin Antiquas Taler more appropriate.
A Medical Student said he had a sentiment to propose^
though he was not generally sentimental ; it was one
which he knew they would respond to from the bottoms of
their glasses to the top of their voices ; it was, " Lur-lur-!i-
e-ty," with variations.
A Comic Assistant then gave some Nigger Melodies, using:
the Lecture-room sounding-board as a banjo.
The Secretary's health having been drunk, he commenced
a sentimentally-tragic speech, which, after attending to for
twenty minutes, we cut, for the purpose of analysing the alloys
of Knocker Metal, and inquiring into the State of Health
of the Inspectors of Police in the surrounding neighbour-
hood.
A statistical account will be given in the next number of
the " Pharmaceutical" of how many craniums were above
the table at 11 p.m., and how many under it at 1, 2,3, 4 a.m.
ILLUSTRATED CIRCULARS.
The rage for illustration has reached such a ridiculous
height, that wine-merchants are sending out illustrated cir-
culars containing the price of Port on one side of the sheet
of paper, and a lithographed view of Oporto on the other.
We think this principle might be generally carried out, and
should suggest that a list of champagnes should be embel-
lished with a portrait of a gooseberry-bush ; while the
sketch of a policeman's cape might adorn that part of the
catalogue devoted to the Madeira. A panoramic view of
Bass's Straits might accompany a list of prices of Bass's-
pale ale, and an allegoric representation of British Industry
in full play, would be very emblematic of the production-
of brandy.
Railway Intelligence.
We understand that the largest transactions in Scrip are
at present confined to the marine-store dealers, who have
lately taken up this branch of commerce with some alacrity.
The placards in their windows now announce, that the best
price is giyen for Capel Court stuff, as well as kitchen-stuff.
Instead of calling upon people to look up their old rags
and waste-paper, they are requested to look up their old
letters of allotment and useless Scrip, for which a liberal
amount will be given, j*
THE CHELSEA PENSIONERS.
It is with a feeling of the most acute commiseration,
that we have read an account of a review of the Chelsea
pensioners at Chatham. It is lamentable to think that men
who have gone to repose upon their laurels, should be
dragged out of their leafy beds to go through—with wheez-
ing, puffing, and blowing—those manoeuvres that they
formerly executed without an effort. England, if thrown,
for support on to her wooden legs, roust be considered to be
regularly stumped out of her resources.
