PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI. [July 5, 1856.
The very Idea or Work this Beautiful Weather is Repugnant to my Feelings."
[Extract from onr Young Friend * * * 's Letter.
PARSING A SENTENCE.
We lately suggested the purchase or hire of a Murray's Gramma1"
for the War Office, and we now venture to propose that an additional
copy of that popular composition of "the rules for speaking and writing
correctly," should he furnished for the use of the Court Newsman.
We are not aware who the individual may be that attends to the
Literary Department of the Court, nor do we know whether the
Editor of the London Gazette, whose intellectual faculties are so suc-
cessfully devoted to the Lists of Bankrupts, and other interesting
matter, is charged also with the additional task of drawing up the
Court Circular ; but, if so, whoever he may be, there is no doubt that
a Grammar (if he would read it) would form a valuable addition to his
library.
That we are not recommending a superfluous outlay, will be clear to
any one who reads the following paragraph from a recent Number of the
Court Circular :
" At the Drawing-Room on the 20th Instant, Lady Honeywood was presenter! to
the Queen- upon her marriage, hy the Dowager Lady Honeywood."
Everybody knows what is really meant by the above lines, but if they
were to be interpreted according to strict grammatical rule, they would
be understood to announce that the Queen was married on the day of
A REGULAR SHIFT OF POPERY.
Rome having manifestly become too hot to hold the Pore, except
under the refrigerant influence of cold steel, in the form of bayonets
the idea of divesting the Papacy of its secular character, is getting to
be seriously entertained by Roman Catholics themselves. A French
priest, the Abbe" J. H. Michon, has just published a pamphlet on the
separation of the temporal from the spiritual authority of the Roman
Pontiff, under the title of La Papaute a Jerusalem, proposing that his
Holiness should transfer the Holy See to the metropolis of the Holy
Land. The Latin and Greek Churches have long been breaking each
other's heads in the most scandalous manner at Jerusalem; and it is
feared that those heads would be brought iuto still worse collision by
the triple-crowned head of the former Church betaking itself thither.
The See of Gobat, also, would be invaded, if not displaced, by the
transference of the See of Peter, so called, and Bishop Gobat might
be disposed to resent that proceeding as a decided case of Papal
Aggression. The result would be, on the whole, a state of things wit
calculated to tend to the conversion of the Turks, who are little enough
edified, as it is, by the conduct of devotees, amongst whom they have
to preserve order with a whip.
For these reasons it must be regarded as decidedly unadvisable to
the Drawiug-Room, that the marriage ceremony had been performed i transport the Papacy to Jerusalem. Among Protestants, we believe,
by the Dowager Lady Hone?wood, and that Lady Honeywood had
been presented to Her Majesty on the occasion. Surely this, or
nothing is the true grammatical sense of the words " Lady Honey-
wood was presented to the Queen upon her (the Queen's) marriage, by
the Dowager Lady Honeywood." We hope that in the estimates
for next year, a vote of two guineas will be taken for the attendance of
the Court Newsman at some evening school for adults, where a plain
English education may be obtained.
sweet sentiment !
Beware how you address yourself in anger to anv one. An angry
word is like a letter put into the post—once dropt, "it is impossible to
recall it!
the prevailing opinion is, that the Pope had better go to Jericho.
Our Narrow Thoroughfares.
The Commissioners of Regent Street had a meeting last week, to
take into consideration, whether it would be possible to enlarge the
street, in order to accommodate the growing dimensions of the ladies'
dresses. It has been calculated that at present the thoroughfare is not
wide enough to admit of more than three ladies and an infant walking
abreast.
Self-Contemplation.—Many persons, when they look at carica-
tures, little suspect that they are before a looking-glass.
