We are very sorry that the Dunmow Railway is not opened yet , as we i are quite certain , after a perusal of the Divorce reports , that there are I thousands of married couples , residing in London , only waiting for the j inauguration of the new line to claim any number of Flitches of Bacon .

1 I The great fight over the carcase of the Houses of Parliament still continues . A punster ( inferior quality ) might thus describe the situation—Barry , jun ., still declares that the public should laud his I father , while the younger Pugin exclaims " Co 77 iment !"
It Is Reported That A Testimonial To The...
It is reported that a testimonial to the partners in the late firm of Overend , Gurney , and Co ., is being subscribed for in the City , in order to express the sympathy of the great mercantile Gods upon 'Change with those much maligned gentlemen . The testimonial it is said , will take the form of a large , handsome , whitewashed sepulchre , with a I statue of Oblivion , shrouding with her wings their virtues and their grievances .

They ( the British Association for the Advancement of Science ) , won't allow the poor Anthropologists to hold a meeting at the Congress at Dundee ! If the ill-used members of the mysterious society in question attempt to inaugurate a discussion in the streets ,, . we fear the only species of mankind they will be able to examine critically , will be a specimen of the common policeman ( Britain ) . Certainly Science is always progressing ; but is that any reason why her votaries should be told roughly to " move on ? " .
Mr. Hollingshead (The Promising Young Au...
Mr . Hollingshead ( the promising young author of " Dramatic Critics Criticised" in the current number of The Broadway ) , is we learn ( from the newspapers ) , about to publish , in the same periodical , an article entitled " Anonymous Humbug . " We suppose , as the " humbugs" are to be " anonymous" in the coming paper that Mr . Hollingshead departing from his usvial cotirse in such matters , will refrain from publishing his own name in the list of authors he purposes dishing-up for the delight of those who are fond of peering about Editors' rooms .
