POPULAR DELUSION.

It is the greatest fallacy to suppose the Post was invented merely
to carry letters. The postage was reduced to enable tradesmen to send
their goods at a cheaper rate. The central dep6t of this new Parcels'
Delivery Company is at St. Martin's-le-Grand, where cats, turbots,
trunks, eggs, dogs, coalscuttles, lobsters, chairs, butter, and every
article of food and furniture, from an oyster to a four-poster, are
received up to 7 p.m. N.B. Cats, turbots, coalscuttles, and four-
posters, are not admissible through the opening in the letter-box, but
must be delivered in at the window.

THE PALACES OE LONDON.

There is a palace in almost every court and at the corner of every
street in London. They are brilliantly illuminated ev3ry night, and
levees are held in them all the year round; but the public are not

admitted to the drawing-room3, excepting on extv&-ordinaiy occasions.
Any person can get admission into one of the3e palaces by inquiring
after Old Tom or asking for the Porter.

POLITICAL ECONOMY.

A Member of Parliament can always get a good dinner with a bottle
of wine for nothing. He has but to watch the public meetings or
charities at the Freemasons' Tavern, and send in to the Committee
his initials, M.P. An indignant speech will be the only expense the
dinner will cost him ; and he can save this if he chooses, by putting
his name down for £50, and forgetting to pay it.

FEATHERED TOURISTS.

The Migration of Birds in the middle of October is very remarkable;
and it is said that the popular exclamation, "My gracious I " or
" Migraticus," is derived from the circumstance.
