REMARKS.

Passengers' Duties, conveyed for Hire
upon Railways.

Not to smoke in the carriages;
to take care of their tickets and
present them unfolded when
asked for; not to give anything
to the porters ; and to write con-
stant letters of complaint to the
Times.

The chief thing to be borne in mind
this month, is that the Eclipse

the members to go down in a body to the Coalhole under the Hou.se,
but the practice was discontinued, as so many members staid away

MONTHLY REMARKS.

Hints to Country Cousins.

If you wish to pass a day in town get into an omnibus ;
at Sloane-street, and by ihe time you reach the Bank,
you will be surprised to find, that you have accomplished
the object you had in view.

Miscellaneous.

The hop-duty is collected this month,
butes largely to the revenue.

The leviathan bulk of London is enveloped in one huge
fog. Cab comes into collision with cab, nose with nose,
or, harder fate, with lamp post. The passenger has taken
the wrong turning, and, bewildered, is unable to find Ins
way. How like is he to the philosopher after the tenth go !

The cost of a divorce in England ranges from
1,000/. to 1,500/. A marriage often costs the parties a considerably
greater sum.

The Bank of Upper Canada corresponds with Messrs. Glyn.
But the Bank of Pennsylvania corresponds with no bank in England
—we hope.

must pay double before he can be quits, generally quits first.
