      We are requested to contradict the report that Mr . Arthur Lloyd and the Jolly'Nash were presented at the last Levde , held by His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales . The news was premature .

      Some envious politician has whispered that the present Chancellor of the Exchequer is only a Ward , not of Chancery but of the Treasury . We hope that his Guardian will commit no breach of trust .

      The recent French importation of the Can-can at the Lyceum , it is said , terribly shocked our sense of Terpsichorean decorum . What idiotic nonsense ! Let us look at home first . Have we not had the Kahn-Kahn among us for the last ten years or more ?

      Mdlle . Finette has flitted from the footlights of the Lyceum to the footlights of the Alhambra . This change of scene might , at the same time , have suggested to the fair danseuse an appropriate change of name : Finette might have become popular among us as Fie-Fie-nette .

      Mr . Swinburne has just written a song entitled Kissing her Hair . Now , probably this erotic poet has pitched this song at the head of some particular young lady of his acquaintance . As applicable to young ladies generally of the present day the above title is simply absurd : it should have been Kissing someone else's Hair .

These extraordinary disclosures will lead investors the better to judge where to draw the ( London , Chatham , and Dover ) line to investment .

      We are happy to be able to state that those unfortunate persons who assisted at the first representation of Martin Chuzsleivit at the Olympic , on Monday , the 2 nd inst ., are all doing as well as can be expected . In some cases it was feared that the intense depression of spirits might lead to mischievous results , but by careful treatment with passages of the original book , they are all in a fair way to recovery .

      A recent telegram from Abyssinia announced that the " Egyptian Interpreter employed at Massowah by the Egyptian Government , had been brought on to Cairo in irons , " and added that " the cause was unknown . " Pending the solution of the mystery it would be merely reasonable to infer that this

      unformm w tunate official had been over - taxing his powers , and been completely baffled in consequence . He must have been attempting some explanation of the British expedition .

      The famous " Spiteful letter " appears , after all , to have been addressed by the Laureate to some contemptible anonymous correspondent extremely sens . itive Mr t . emp Tennyson erament , ^ so and his once friends compared have it , himself is of an , so the JVezv York Tribune has it , to a " traveller in a lonely desert" who is shot at and hit by some archer on the horizon . Hence this bit of retaliation in Once a Week , which , if report speak truly , was decidedly " one for the gold . "
