PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI.
NOTICES OF MOTION.
Mr. Hume, on going into Committee of Supply, to move a return of
every officer in the Royal Navy, distinguishing admirals from boatswains'
mates, and ships' cooks from post-captains, with the dates of the warrants
or commissions of each ; also the quantity of spun-yarn which has been
used since the American War, in yards, distinguishing cables from
ratlines, and setting forth the number of blocks now in the service—ex-
clusive of chaplains and schoolmasters. Also, for a return from the
Equator, of the aggregate number of persons who have been
TARRED AND FEATHERED
in crossing the line.
Lord J. Russell—to move for information from Che Assistant Poor-Law
Commissioners respecting the recipe for making the pauper gruel now in
use ; and to apply for the appointment of a scientific commission, to
inquire into and report upon the quantity of gelatine to be extracted from
old shoes and bones, with a view to converting the same into soup for
consumption in the new Poor-Law Unions.
Sir F. Burdett—to move for leave to bring in a bill, enacting that the
raised road of the Greenwich Railway be subject to an additifcnal
HIGHWAY RATE.
MARKETS.
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN,
That during the past week there has been a rise in guns and pistols, which
went briskly off at full charges, in consequence of the new and improved
method of stealing the barrels. Several stands of arms have walked away
in this manner, though they were
MADE TO ORDER.
< An encouraging rise was also observed in umbrellas, mainly attri-
butable to the heavy showers that fell during the meeting of the dealers.
Very thick walking-sticks got up a little, which had a rather depressing
effect upon some inferior kinds of hats ; nevertheless, superior beavers
and gentlemen's gloves moved off pretty well, when the company went.
There was a little stir in tea this afternoon, and three spoonfuls of
the Company's congou went off very flatly, with a party that appeared to
take hardly any interest in the shabby transaction. The treacle in coffee
was very brisk under the piazzas at twopence a cup, and though takers
were very numerous, the settling was far from satisfactory. Indeed it
