We understand that some of the coffee-room waiters at White ' s are to be made baronets in honour of the Prince of Wales' visits to that distinguished Club .

E x-Lort > Mayor Lawrence is now Sir James Clark Lawrence , i Baronet ; Mr . Ayrton has been appointed First Commissioner of Public Works : it is hard to say on which event the nation ought to be congratulated the most .
Mr. Ayrton Has Uttered A Long Panegyric ...
Mr . Ayrton has uttered a long panegyric on himself . In this he exercises a wise monopoly , though on general matters he is in favour of Free Trade . Mr . Ayrton thinks himself the best man for his place . On this point we venture to differ from him . He also says that he knows nothing about his duties . On this point we venture to agree with him .
Let Us Be Thankful That The Threatened D...
Let us be thankful that the threatened duel between The O'Donoghue and Mr . Moore did not come off . Had these two heroes met in mortal combat , who knows what might have been the result ? The struggle between the celebrated Kilkenny Cats would have been nothing to it . Had either been killed could England have prospered any longer ? We doubt it . [ Note . —This is not chaff . ]
Sir Eardlev Gideon Culling Eardleymay Be...
Sir Eardlev Gideon Culling EARDLEYmay beat a loss for some pursuit to which to turn his attention , and on which to bestow his leisure time , of which he will necessarily have a good deal now . We beg to suggest to this immaculate gentleman that if he were to write a novel , , giving ^_ , ^^ an account of his life , and
disclosing the secret , which he evidently possesses , of breaking prison bars without violence , he might realize a handsome fortune . Let him offer it to Messrs . Macmillan , let us say , and , if he is in want of a title , let him call it " Gideon ' s Fleece , " or " Bigamy made Easy . "
The Lord Mayor's Feast Passed Oft* Most ...
The Lord Mayor ' s Feast passed oft * most brilliantly . Mr , Gladstone was solemn and conscientious , Mr . Bruce was perky and foolish , Mr , Lowe was a brilliant buffoon , and Sir J ames Clark Lawrence was received with cheers . One cannot help speculating as to what would be the result if all the speeches
were given before instead of after dinner . Would men , unless previously fortified with some stimulant , be able to go through the amount of long-winded platitudes and well-worded hypo-

crisies that they do now ? Fancy the state of good-humoured repletion a man must be in to congratulate the late Lord Mayor on anything—except his being late !

1 Our senile contemporary Punch is really very clever at one thing , —advertising himself . The idea of applying for an injunction against a certain " comic " paper makes one suspect that Messrs .

print in question . But it was worth the humiliation of such an action to obtain from a jfu "dge in his judicial capacity such a capital advertisement as they did . Of course , the panegyric is quoted in our poor old friend ' s last number , and put into the mouth of the Queen—Mr . Punch " never wrote a word
, unworthy to be read by the good . " We hope this may be taken for granted , and that the good are not obliged to read every word of the broken-down jester of Fleet street ; if they are , we should decidedly prefer to be classed with the wicked .
