Having the honour to hold
a commission in the cele-
brated Punch corps, which
has served in so many good
actions during a long literary
campaign, we placed our-
selves at the head of the
troops who are daily besieg-
ing the doors of the Gallery
in Regent-Street. Pushing
gallantly forward, we pro-
ceeded into the interior,
-Ig^^MW^^^^^ ^g®e^e=si=>- where we received a slight
check, but this only encou-
raged us to proceed, and we ultimately sat down, with a considerable
corps de reserve—which filled the reserved seats—for the purpose of
making observations. Finding our position a good one, we determined
to hold it in company with some " troops" of friends by whom we
were surrounded, including a few infantry; and we formed a rather
considerable army of occupation, occupying the lines in front of the
scene of action.
The first view that presented itself to us was Dangan Castle, in the
county of Meath, the birth-place of the Duke, to whom we imme-
diately attached ourselves—though not quitting the mental reserves—
in the capacity of Aide-de-Camp. We were at once conveyed to Serin-
gapatam, under the directions of General Harris, and had the
satisfaction of sharing the retirement of the celebrated Mrs. Harris
during the dangers of the siege, though we had the pleasure of wit
rendered very rare—excite but secondary interest. In conclusion,
much instruction and amusement may be derived from the contempla-
tion of the Wellington Campaigns; and we advise everybody to
enlist in the service—of the proprietors—immediately. It is said that
one volunteer is worth two pressed men; but, though we went aa
men of the press, we were made very welcome, and excellent quarters
were assigned to us.

THE CRYSTAL PALACE IN THE CRYSTAL VILLAGE.
When a new site was sought for the Crystal Palace, the Bishop op
ondon asked only £100 a-year rent per acre for certain of his lands;
proof that Bishops know the value of' this earth. The Bishop's offer
