TO KEEP THE POT BOILING.
Uncle Coky Carbo, from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, presents his Niece, on her Marriage, with a Dozen Tons of the Best Wallsend
(a very Seasonable Gift, by the bye !) He brings a Lovely Sample of the same, to be put among the other Wedding-Gifts
on the Drawing-Room Table.
AN IMAGINARY DESPATCH.
“ The Queen is much displeased with the darkness in which the
Ministers have kept their Sovereign in reference to public affairs.
“ Had the Queen been made aware that a Ministerial crisis was in
the least likely to arise during the period which had been set apart for
her visit to the Scotch, that visit would, of course, have been postponed
until another season. The Queen was too well aware of the vast
inconvenience, not to say danger, that might occur from the country
being without a Government, for a whole week, at a time when Europe
is in convulsions, to have thought of being absent from the Metropolis
during a political change. If the Queen preferred to spend the anni-
versary of her accession among the Highlanders, that preference should
not have dominated the exigencies of the hour, nor should an aged
Presbyterian Minister have been compelled to contemplate a journey
of 1400 miles to resign office.
“ The Queen is too well acquainted with the sentiments of her sub-
jects in reference to all her actions to suppose that they can ever be
misinterpreted, but the Ministers who neglecfed to apprise her that
they intended to take an early vote of Confidence ought to have seen
that such neglect might justify the idea that the Queen, for the first
time in her life, had allowed her own pleasure to interfere with the
functions of Royalty.”
Balmoral, June 20, 1866.
The Shortest Night.
The Shortest night has passed. A young Lady informed us, in
spite of traditional reckoning, that it was on the Second of June, for
then she danced from 11 p M to 5 AM, and that appeared to her, the
shortest night she’d known this Season.
HINTS TO VISITORS TO THE NATIONAL PORTRAIT
EXHIBITION.
That those who have derived benefit from the use of Grimston’s
Eye-Snuff should gaze with gratitude on Portrait No. 17.
That the lovers of the fragrant weed should carefully scrutinise the
features of Cavendish (81).
That in John Bull (228) and Paddy (234) will be recognised Por-
traits of the typical Englishman and Irishman.
(N.B. Scotland is entreated not to secede from the Union because
her man is unrepresented.)
That it was not Hatton (239) but Walsingham (258) who was-
Queen Elizabeth’s favourite dancer.
That No. 394 immortalises the proud inventor of Windsor soap.
That Old Scarlett (403) is not meant for the first Lord Abinger.
That Belted Will (405) was a distinguished Champion of the P. R.
That cricketers should look out for Julius Caesar (428), and make
a long stop before his likeness.
That Mr. Disraeli should meditate on his past life in front of the
portrait of Coningsby (501).
That those to whom oysters are so dear should hasten to see
Mr. Pym (609).
That the portrait of Bradshaw (737) is the only authentic likeness-
of the author of the Railway Guide.
That Harvey (756) did not discover the blood, but only the circula-
tion of that necessary fluid.
That in the works of Taylor, the Water-poet (758), Teetotallers may
find the first eulogium of their principles.
That it was a handsome compliment to the inhabitants of South
Kensington to exhibit a portrait of the builder of Thurloe Square (812).
That all the portraits of Hobbes should be closely compared by
lock-makers.
That the members of the Jockey Club should uot pass by the portrait
of Elatman (921)—and
That no visitor to the Haymarket Theatre shoulH leave the
Exhibition without finding out the likeness of Comi*ton (993).
