      The Government are still reducing their expenses . We understand that Mr . Childers will only take the Fleet for a cruise to Ramsgate this year . It is not yet decided ( we believe ) whether the right honourable gentleman will be attended by " the children . " ^

      Australian meat is not at all bad . A j > at 4 9 about half the size of a five-shilling piece , will be found very palatable if taken after oysters , turtle soup , and turbot , and be / ore mutton cutlets , a bird , and a cheese omelette , The wines must be good to obtain the desired effect .

      Protection is not a great success in America . Boots are now being sold and produced at ruinous prices in the States . A miserable French Canadian punster has suggested to us , that if our Transatlantic cousins can ' t get their " poor feet" boots , they must go in j > o ? ir metres sJioes /"

      A very pretty sight was witnessed last week at a meeting of the Electors of Southwark at the Lambeth Baths . Boots were used freely on the occasion . Strange to say , Wellington had the victory of Waterlow ( Belgium ) in 1815 , while Bluchers carried the day in the defeat of Waterlow ( Sir Sidney ) in 1870 !

      The Archbishop of Syra did not pronounce the benediction at York Minster a fortnight since .

      Under the heading et Religious Liberty in Turkey , " a paragraph has appeared in the papers stating that last week three young Christians , a Bulgarian and two Greeks , embraced the Mohammedan faith , and that Vali Pasha ( whose connection with the transaction is not denned ) strictly observed the laws which ensure liberty of conscience in such cases . On one of the perverts , however , wanting to return to the Christian faith , a difficulty arose . We suppose in Turkey , as in England , it is only the ladies who are permitted to change their minds twice .

      The announcement recently published by the War Office that the examinations for admission to the Military Academy at Woolwich would be suspended until further notice very naturally caused a great deal of heart-burning . The youths who had been in tutors' hands with a view to going up in J une were taken home j the course of reading was broken up , and books were closed . Now , however , it seems that the announcement was a mistake , and that the examinations will not be suspended . Evidently , the official mind takes no cognizance of personal inconvenience .
