      We sincerely hope that the " Cole Testimonial" may end appropriately—we mean in smoke ! The South'Kensington Museum in the flesh is becoming quite a nuisance . In spite of what people say to the contrary , we are convinced that there would be nothing absurd in taking Cole to Newcastle , always providing that when there he was made to remain in his place .

      It is said that Her Majesty , is going to build a hospital . Of course this is very good of her , and commands our , warmest commendation . However , some people will say , that , when they remember the . approaching visit of the Sultan , they would far sooner have seen instead of the Queen ' s hospital , the Queen ' s . hospitality . »

      The Registrar-General reports that the neighbourhood surrounding Knightsbridge Barracks is remarably unhealthy . A strange epidemic seems prevalent , more especially among the servant-maids and cooks in the district . For a season , strange to say , they seem all to suffer from attacks of the Blues , while , at another time , Scarlet fever is all the rage .

      From Cambridge we get the following intelligence : — " The gold medal , given annually by the Chancellor of Cambridge University to a Resident Undergraduate for the best English poem on a given subject , was adjudged to Thomas Moss , St — — . John ' s College . Subject : ' The Atlantic ---- - Cables - ^^ . nr —~ - 1866 . '"

      —— ^ — ^^^ M ^ M _ , , j r ^ . ^^ . ^^ - ^^ v We have no desire to meddle or question the judgment of the Chancellor , but we should say such a subject as " The Atlantic Cables , 1866 , " must have proved awful " hard lines " to Mr . Moss .

      A facetious rufnan writes to us to say that he considers Her Majesty in the light of a " Royal Mrs . Jellyby , " as she neglects the affairs of her family of subjects to give her undivided attention to the " Late Prince Consort Mania . " It is scarcely necessary to add that we are using our best endeavours to bring the waggish rebel to the block .

      Assassins, To Judge From His Latest Effo...

      Assassins , to judge from his latest effort , are a congenial theme to Mr . Swinburne . He has gone into frantic raptures over the " slayer of the splendid brow , " Orsini . Let him try his pen on Booth , the murderer of the late President Lincoln . He has ample materials for the task ; the diary of " this splendid slayer" has just been published . and we are sure that it

      would suit the bard of Mazzini to a , nicety . There is no accounting for the eccentricities of genius , and we really see no reason why the author of the " Song of , Italy , " should not be the panegyrist of American as well as Italian parricides .

      - The enemies of , a certain sporting admiral say that he is frightfully self-conceited , that he loves no one but himself . In support of their . opinion they point to the correspondence on the Soiled Dove Case , which certainly argues that the naval warrior in question is exceedingly partial to rcnus !
