NOTICE TO QUIT (?)

Colonist {to John Bull). "I say, I wish xou'd tell Him to go away,"

Eloquence and "Wisdom.—The rejoicings recently performed at
•Brussels in celebration of the King's second birthday, included a
Nautical procession, commemorating an event in the career of
William the Silent. " Speech is silvern, and silence is golden"
indeed; but the admirers of Mr. Gladstone will shrink from no
comparison between William the Silent, and William quite the
reverse. However, the Brussels function showed a pleasant way to
liquidate a Bill.

Pat's Latest Complaint.—High rents and falling prices have
impoverished Irishmen; or so they say. Yet it is not in a purely
economical sense, but in a political and journalistic one, that the
Parnellites are now complaining of "Hard Times."

Motto for the Channel Tt/nnel Fanatics.—"A little more
than Watkin and less than kind."
