"On the Sly."—The name of Mr. J. E.
Sly was mentioned in the World last week
as a candidate for the office of High Bailiff
of the City of London Court. Quite a
Shakspearian name is Sly. "Look in the
Chronicles," quoth Christopher of that ilk,
"We came in with Richard Conqueror."
We drink success to him in " a pot of the
smallest ale" and "Let the World slip,"—
whether it did slip or not, the event will
prove,—" We shall ne'er be younger."
"Charles, His Friends."-—The Gentle-
men who sought to adorn King Charles's
statue with wreaths on the 30th January, are
not to be beheaded. Like the White Rose
League, their Jacobark is worse than their
Jacobite.
