Moral— Sucfj is Life!

Collier's Various Readings.

Mr. Collier has been appointed Legal Adviser to the Fleet. We
suppose it is all right; but any advice that we have ever heard tendered
to a decent vessel by a Collier has always been of a description to make
us wish we were a boatswain’s mate in the neighbourhood of the
counsellor. However, we should be sorry to see Collier get the
sack in consequence of any facetious remark of ours; and we lose no
time in hoping that he is not only up in Black-Stone, but. will prove
a Black Diamond. If not, the Collier will know where to look for
w hippers.

ONE OE THE COMPLIMENTS OF THE SEASON.

Why is the Marquis of Westminster like I860 ?

Because he’s exceedingly near.

“ When found, to be made a Note of.”—When you find a
Policeman.
