REMARKS.

Legal.—Articled clerks are examined within the last ten days of tha
term. An immense number of moustachios are shaved oft' about this
time, and there is a sensible diminution in the consumption of cigars
in Chancery-lane and its neighbourhood.

Directions to ~Sov.no Practitioners.—Now rake up tailors, bakers,
butchers, &c&c, graft strong M ^

suits on their Christmas bills;
and finish up the montli by
laying down beds for debtors
in WMteeross-street

pleading a set-off.

Sporting.—About this time the jolly dogs meet in Jermyn-itreet- 9
Bell-wires may be drawn, and knockers bagged. Policemen only good
for a short burst, as, owing to the slipperiness of the pavement, they arc
soon run down. Cats should now be coursed on the ico in walnut-
shells. Snow-ball practice may bo
resorted to by young beginners.
Snips with long bills may be ex-
pected about your door-steps, and
may be brought down with horse-
whips and boot-jacks.

say settled at bottom.

Domestic—Parents now engage an extra servant, to blow thenursery
fires and the children's noses. Fathers, looking out fur squalls, provide
themselves with list slippers and flannel dressing-gowns for night
patrole. Drawing-rooms ive converted into racAei-grounds. Children of
an inquiring mind dissect your best chronometer to sco what is inside
of it. Indolent bachelors now lengthen the bell-ropes and tuck the
ends under the pillow. Housemaids never
hear the clock strike seven till nine in the
morning. And strange cats devour plum-
pudding and mince-pies,—" things which
your servants can't a-bear."

Astronomical.—The " voice of the stars " may now be heard outside
several of the Minor Metropolitan Theatres— Hicks in the ascendant-
Charles Keanin opposition to the Wizard of the North, and total eclipsa
of Shakespeare by the Pantomimes. The planet Cooper appears in
conjunction with George Barnwell. Mac-
ready and his satellites will now be visible
from seven to twelve in the Drury Lane he-
misphere. Adelaide Kcmblo will be an
evening star till the commencement of the
concerts, when she will appear as a morning
one.

Pkophetic—No better motto can befoundfor the dark year 1842, than
"est. omnis ambulator," ("it's all Walker.") The first token that
Punch observes is a Brummagem one, with "one halfpenny" on one
side, and "don't you wish you may get it ?" on the other. The new
Hilary Term on the 11th has this singular collection of Roe-and-Doe
bodies—Sloman, Levy, and Thompson—who point with unerring preci-
sion to Cursitor Street, Newman Street, and Chancery Lane. Vast and
mighty changes cross C'lapham Common ! A star threatens anonymous
shirts! and the trem-
bling denizens appear
in dickies. Sir Peter
quails before the in-
dignant liobler !
