Several Members Of The House Of Commons ...
Several Members of the House of Commons have recently complained that they do not know where to meet the Council of the Reform League , unless a room be provided for their use at Westminster . We can help them out of their difficulty . Why don't they invite their friends to meet them at the St . Martin ' s Baths and Washhouses ? It is just the spot for tubs 2
Mr. Whalley And His Colleagues, Who—Holy...
Mr . Whalley and his colleagues , who—Holywell Street having been purified—are obliged to sell their dirty books in the street , and who are , for some reason or other , we suppose , not amenable to the law , are as logical in their conduct as they are in their arguments . They declare that these questions put
in the Confessional are calculated to corrupt innocent minds ; they therefore translate them from a dead language , understood but by very few women , into the vulgar tongue , and then hawk them about the street , and give them as much publicity as possible . And this they do in the cause of religion !
It Is To Be Sincerely Trusted That The M...
It is to be sincerely trusted that the Marquis Townshend and his " distinguished amateurs " will favour the public with a few I more performances . It is not often that one can enjoy a hearty laugh at a nobleman ' s expense ( out of the " House" ) , and really j and truly his lordship se rves as an admirable warning to those
* conceited idiots who are only too anxious to exhibit their in-? competency , as actors , before a circle of admiring (?) frierfds . I As we consider the reasons that induced the Ancients to make their slaves intoxicated worthy of commendation , we strongly counsel the Marquis Townshend to continue his performances .
Bright Forbids !
BRIGHT FORBIDS !
